Chapter 805: Who is Claiming to Be Invincible?
Chapter 805: Who is Claiming to Be Invincible?
The Ancient Asura World was an independent world created by the first clan leader of the Asura Clan. Not only was it rich in spiritual energy, but it also housed the Asura Ghost Array made by the Asura Ancestor.
The Asura Ghost Array was known as the most powerful array of the Asura Civilization, and it was said to be capable of resisting even Path Creation Realm cultivators.
A kaleidoscope of light fragments shrouded the Ancient Asura World. The ghastly remnants of a pitch-black energy were everywhere, and distorted screams echoed incessantly.
The Ancient Asura World resembled pandemonium at the moment.
Amidst the pandemonium stood a man with a sword in hand. His sharp eyes were full of disdain over the countless experts before him.
The man was none other than Xuan Ce!
Just a few moments ago, he had split the Asura Ghost Array into two with just one strike.
One strike!
One strike was all it took for the most powerful array of the Asura Civilization to crumble.
The unbelievable sight filled the powerful Asura Clan experts with despair.
Even Asura Jing, the strongest among the Asura Clan experts, was in despair as he stood frozen amidst the battlefield with his limbs missing.
The corpses of Asura Clan experts were strewn haphazardly around them. Evidently, none of them stood a chance against Xuan Ce!
Even cultivators above full divinity couldn't withstand a single blow from him, much less mere full divinity experts.
It was simply absurd!
No one expected Xuan Ce to become so powerful with the Qingxuan Sword in hand.
Just then, Xuan Ce started walking slowly toward the distant Asura Jing. The faces of the remaining Asura Clan cultivators turned pale at the sight.
Asura Jing stared at Xuan Ce with an extremely grim face.
Xuan Ce looked down at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand and then stared at Asura Jing with a smile. "Asura Jing, I know you must be regretting it right now. You must be regretting that you didn't annihilate my Xuan Clan the moment you obtained this sword. Am I right?"
"Pfft!" Asura Jing suddenly chuckled, "Xuan Ce, do you really think that you'll be the ultimate victor?"
Xuan Ce laughed heartily and then said, "Are you talking about Ye Guan?"
Asura Jing stared at Xuan Ce without speaking.
Xuan Ce shook his head and smiled. "That young swordsman is full of tricks. Do you really think that I haven't seen through his little scheme? Once I've wiped out your Asura Clan, he'll be nothing but an ant to me."
Asura Jing shook his head and stared at Xuan Ce as if he were pitiful. He had just realized how foolish the man before him was. Clearly, Xuan Ce's arrogance had blinded him.
The Qingxuan Sword was extremely powerful, so its creator had to be a monster as well.
There was no way Ye Guan had just stumbled upon the sword. The creator of the sword had to have given it to him. In other words, Ye Guan had a great relationship with the creator of that sword. Now that he thought about it, Asura Jing recalled that Ye Guan had intentionally given up the sword, driving a wedge between the Asura Clan and the Xuan Clan.
Asura Jing mocked himself. He thought Xuan Ce was foolish, but wasn't he just as foolish as Xuan Ce?
Asura Jing looked up at Xuan Ce in the distance. He opened his palm, and an ancient token rose into the air.
The next moment, the Asura Divine Guards statues outside Asura City trembled violently.
Soon, over ten thousand Asura Divine Guards shattered space, arriving at the Ancient Asura World in the blink of an eye.
The Asura Divine Guards were here!
Every single one of the thousand guards stood firmly, and they exuded a terrifying battle intent that made the very fabric of spacetime within the Ancient Asura World quiver ever so slightly.
Xuan Ce's brows furrowed at the sight. The Asura Clan's rule over the Asura Civilization was largely due to these guards, who obeyed only the Asura Clan and the Supreme Scholar.
Hope reignited in the eyes of the Asura Clan cultivators while the Xuan Clan cultivators became nervous. It couldn't be helped, as they were aware of the Asura Divine Guards's fearsome reputation—invincible among their peers and capable of jumping realms to defeat powerful opponents.
The Xuan Clan cultivators stared at Xuan Ce.
Xuan Ce's eyes narrowed, and he gripped the Qingxuan Sword tightly. He was wary of the Asura Divine Guards, but the sword in his hand made him feel invincible.
When the tense air reached a crescendo, Asura Jing pointed at Xuan Ce and roared, "Kill him!"
Upon receiving Asura Jing's order, the Asura Divine Guards stepped forward and were about to charge at Xuan Ce when they froze like statues.
The next moment, they transformed into innumerable streaks of light that disappeared into the horizon.
The turn of events stupefied everyone, including Asura Jing.
Moments later, Asura Jing's face distorted in fury. "Xin Yu!!"
Xin Yu was the only one who could control the Asura Divine Guards except for the Asura Clan.
The agreement between the Asura Clan Leader and the Supreme Scholar Academy's top scholar was that if their descendants gave conflicting orders, the Asura Divine Guards could temporarily ignore both sides.
This arrangement was made to prevent internal strife between the Asura Clan and the Supreme Scholar Academy!
"HAHAHA!" Xuan Ce burst out into a peal of uproarious laughter. "Asura Jing, you brought this upon yourself!"
Asura Jing glared at Xuan Ce. "Heed my words, Asura Clan members! Today, we face certain death, so why not fight to the end? Killing one means breaking even. Killing two means profiting!"
Rumble!
Asura Jing's aura surged crazily, and he made a beeline for Xuan Ce.
Asura Jing had chosen to self-destruct!
The Asura Clan members revealed determined faces at the sight. They took to the sky and charged at the Xuan Clan experts in the distance.
They all chose to self-destruct!
Asura Jing was right. Since death was inevitable, why not take some enemies down with them?
Xuan Ce's eyes were filled with disdain at the Asura Clan's cowardly move.
Swoosh!
Xuan Ce transformed into a streak of sword light to conduct another slaughter.
Soon, screams filled the entire Ancient Asura World.
Xuan Ce was invincible with the Qingxuan Sword in hand.
Asura Jing couldn't even touch him before he was obliterated with his soul absorbed by the sword.
Asura Jing was no more—dead both in body and soul!
After killing Asura Jing with one strike, Xuan Ce turned and charged at the other Asura Clan experts.
If even Asura Jing couldn't withstand a single strike, how could the remaining Asura Clan experts survive against him?
Just like that, a massacre unfolded.
When Ye Guan and the others entered the Ancient Asura World, they were immediately struck by the pungent smell of blood.
Xin Yu frowned deeply at the smell.
Ye Guan stared at the ancient city in the distance and saw mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.
It was a true massacre!
Ye Guan was taken aback. He hadn't expected the Xuan Clan to be so ruthless to actually annihilate the Asura Clan.
Of course, he felt no pity for the Asura Clan. The Asura Clan wanted him dead, after all.
Just then, a man walked out from the mountain of corpses. Of course, it was Xuan Ce.
Xuan Ce was drenched in blood, making him look like a lunatic. The Qingxuan Sword in his hand quivered as he gripped it tightly.
Xin Yu's frown deepened upon seeing Xuan Ce. Xuan Ce's ruthless and decisiveness to annihilate the Asura Clan in one fell swoop had clearly surprised her.
The powerful clans of the Asura Civilization often fought each other both openly and surreptitiously, but a clan annihilating another was unprecedented.
Xuan Ce revealed a wicked smile as he slowly approached Xin Yu and her group.
The Xuan Clan experts and the Asura Divine Guards, whom he had forced to submit using the Qingxuan Sword, were standing behind him.
Xuan Ce stared at Xin Yu and said, "Supreme Scholar, Taia Clan, surrender or die!"
Surrender or die!
Xin Yu stared deeply at Xuan Ce and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Haha!" Xuan Ce laughed. "Supreme Scholar, are you blind? Can you not see the carnage here?"
Xin Yu was silent.
"Do you know why you're still alive?" Xuan Ce asked, "It's all because I think that you and your Supreme Scholar Academy are still useful. Don't worry, there aren't going to be any changes to the Supreme Scholar Academy, so I suggest that you surrender."
"Is the soul of that blood corpse still inside you?" Xin Yu asked."
"Yes, but it has become nothing but a mere ant before me," Xuan Ce replied, smiling. "It's still useful to me, so I decided to keep it for now."
Xin Yu nodded and went silent.
"Are you going to surrender or not?" Xuan Ce asked with a frown. He could annihilate the Asura Clan, but he still had some reservations about annihilating the Supreme Scholar Academy due to its high prestige and sacred status throughout the entire Asura civilization. Killing everyone in the Supreme Scholar Academy would affect the Xuan Clan's rule.
Xin Yu calmly replied, "I need to think about it."
"Fine, I'll give you half an hour to think about it," Xuan Ce replied. He then turned to Taia Tian and said, "Taia Tian, surrender, and you will live."
"I need to think about it, too," Taia Tian replied.
Xuan Ce's eyes narrowed. "Do you really think that I won't kill you?"
Instead of replying, Taia Tian looked at Ye Guan next to him.
Xuan Ce gaze turned to Ye Guan as well, and he smiled before stating, "They can surrender, but you cannot surrender."
Ye Guan was puzzled. "Why?"
Xuan Ce chuckled and replied, "Because you're very troublesome."
"Xuan Ce," Xin Yu chimed in, "Have you not considered that this Young Master Ye might not be as simple as you think?"
"Of course, I know that he's not simple," Xuan Ce said, chuckling. "A young man like him is exceedingly rare, not just here but even throughout the history of the Asura Civilization, but..."
"So what?" Xuan Ce continued, "Even if his backers are strong... even if they are Path Creation Realm experts, I can still cut them down with one strike. Hahaha...!"
One strike to kill a Path Creation Realm expert. Xin Yu's frown deepened. How arrogant
All of a sudden, Xuan Ce looked up and gazed into the depths of the starry sky.
He took a deep breath and declared, "Ah~ how lonely it is to become invincible!"
Xuan Ce's voice, amplified by his powerful cultivation base, transformed into a special sound wave that pierced the deepest parts of the vast expanse, echoing across countless star fields and planets.
"Hmm?" A voice echoed from the depths of the starry sky.
Hearing that, Xuan Ce laughed heartily and pointed the Qingxuan Sword at the depths of the starry sky, "Who dares to challenge me?"
"Hmph!" someone harrumphed, and a spacetime rift abruptly manifested in the sky.
A swordsman in a white robe slowly walked out of the spacetime rift.
Ye Guan stared wordlessly at the white-robed swordsman.
