207: Xuanjian Sect descends

"A slave world? So that's how it is, so that's how it is!"

Venerable Xuan Jian suddenly came to a realization.

No wonder someone suddenly targeted the Xuanjian Sect.

These natives must have acquired technology from some ruins and followed them here secretly during the period when the world-prisoning bead was shattered.

Then, by some unknown means, they bribed the disciple named Lin Ge and had been wreaking havoc in the sect right under his nose.

"Killing my disciples and seizing my sect's greatest treasure... Good, very good indeed!"

Each word was spat out with heavy emphasis.

Anyone could sense the fury within.

"Elder Ming, is there any way to kill something like this?"

"I can locate all of its data, but..."

Elder Ming took out a disc-shaped device and frowned.

"Judging from the traces left behind, an intelligent lifeform of this level is very difficult to kill completely. As long as a single electronic device remains, it can continuously transfer its data."

"Then we'll just destroy the entire world."

Venerable Xuan Jian took the disc-shaped device and said coldly,

"A swarm of ants from a slave world dares to provoke the majesty of my Xuanjian Sect. Elders, hear my command! Follow me as I slash through the spatial layers to Slave World No. 00736."

"Yes, Venerable One."

The elders and enshrined experts all responded with grim expressions.

After learning that those who had schemed against them were merely ants from a slave world, their anger reached its peak.

"Elder Ming, please forgive my lack of hospitality."

"It's no matter. Mr. Xuan Jian, please proceed."

Elder Ming shook his head upon hearing this, feeling a bit of regret.

He still greatly admired the genius who could create an intelligent lifeform of such a level in a lower world.

Unfortunately, seeing the state of the Xuanjian Sect group, it was difficult to speak up for them.

On the other side, after saying his farewells, Mr. Xuan Jian drew his sword and swung it, slashing open the spatial layer.

Violent void currents mixed with unknown spatial dark matter swept through, but they were unable to break through his protective spiritual energy.

He reached out to activate the disc in his hand, and scattered points of light immediately lit up on it, rapidly moving away.

"Trying to run? After them!"

Mr. Xuan Jian snorted coldly, his figure transforming into a streak of sword light that pierced the void and charged straight ahead.

The other elders followed closely behind.

In an instant, over a hundred streaks of light rampaged through, piercing through thousands of spatial layers.

Some creatures living in the void currents were terrified by this horrific aura and fled in a panic.

One day... two days... With the Xuanjian Sect experts traveling at full speed, it took only ten days for them to approach the outskirts of World No. 00736.

At the very moment they stopped, countless cold muzzles suddenly emerged from the meteorites scattered around the void, and dense firelight poured out like a torrential rain.

"Naive."

Mr. Xuan Jian didn't even need to act personally.

An elder sneered, pressed two fingers together, and pointed into the void; several streaks of sword light swept out, leveling hundreds of millions of miles of starry sky.

The ten million Phase Disintegration Cannons deployed by the Statue of Liberty didn't even last a minute before they were all turned to dust.

One must know that every one of these elders was a powerhouse from a world of level 3 rules.

The trump card sword talismans used by the trial takers before were merely things they had refined casually.

As technological weapons of level 2 rules, the Phase Disintegration Cannons were simply too far behind.

"Sect Master, the barrier of the world-prisoning bead hasn't recovered yet. What are those two guys doing? They haven't even acted to seal it."

The elder retracted his sword qi, his brow furrowing as he spoke with dissatisfaction.

"I don't sense their aura. They must be dead."

Mr. Xuan Jian's divine sense swept over as he spoke in an icy tone.

"What? How is that possible! How could a swarm of ants from a lower world kill the two of them?"

A hint of surprise appeared on the faces of the elders.

The mission to guard a slave world could only be taken by those at the elder level or above. Their cultivation was the same as theirs, yet they actually died here?

"This world contains ruins left behind by a powerful organization. I saw his sword outside a place that can block my divine sense."

Mr. Xuan Jian gestured, and a weapon with only half a hilt left flew into his hand from across a vast distance.

"That's right, it's the aura of that monster from before. However, they promised they wouldn't leave the ruins."

He looked closely for a moment and said, suppressing his anger, "They must have been schemed against by the ants of this world. Those two useless trash."

"Then we just need to avoid that area. But since the world-prisoning bead hasn't been activated, I wonder if those fellows have escaped?"

Several elders were instantly relieved upon hearing this.

"One look and we'll know."

Venerable Xuan Jian activated the disc in his hand once more, looked at it, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Quite bold. They're actually all still within this world. You few, seal this world. The rest of you, follow me inside."

"Yes, Sect Master."

Several elders looked at each other, drew their swords, and shot off in all directions, forming a boundless barrier of sword qi.

Meanwhile, Venerable Xuan Jian took a step forward, and in the blink of an eye, the scene changed. He had arrived at the "Xunguang" Galaxy of the Free Star Alliance.

This was originally the location of the Statue of Liberty's Quantum Server cluster, though its importance had significantly decreased since the acquisition of the spatial topology server.

But it remained the most heavily defended area of the Star Alliance, second only to the Dawn Star Sector where Zhang Huaiyuan was located.

Almost the instant he appeared, countless automated turrets and fleets detected him.

"Unknown entity detected... Trespassing into a restricted zone. Attack."

"Ants."

Without even a glance, he simply waved his hand, and a sword light hundreds of millions of feet long condensed.

"Slash!"

With a soft utterance, the defense facilities and legions of the entire galaxy were instantly annihilated, and even space itself was completely shattered.

Surging void currents gushed out, and a sense of decay and ruin spontaneously arose.

"The first location."

He glanced at a point of light on the disc that had dimmed, took another step, and the scene changed once more.

"Eh, a spatial distortion zone... It's actually another ruin?"

Venerable Xuan Jian frowned slightly, gripped his black heavy sword, and unleashed another sweep of sword qi.

In an instant, the spatial distortion zone, stretching for several light-years, was directly slashed apart, revealing the true form of the ruins.

Rows of faintly glowing white crystal towers floated in the air, and thousands of massive star fortresses surrounded a cone-shaped building standing in the center.

A man flew out from the top of the building, his face filled with shock and anger.

It was none other than the former Star Alliance Head, Morrgan, who had hidden in Ruin No. 17.

"Respected powerhouse, I have no intention of being your enemy. I can guarantee..."

He patiently explained in a low voice.

But before he could finish, a piercing sword qi had already arrived.

The meticulously arranged shields were as fragile as paper and shattered upon contact. The 999 giant star fortresses, built at great expense, had only fired their first shot before they all crumbled.

"Your Majesty, watch out!"

Loyal suicide squads rushed forward without hesitation, attempting to block the sword light.

But before they could even get close, they were shredded by the sharp sword intent.

Just as it was about to hit Morrgan, a warp fluctuation flickered on his body, teleporting him behind the cone-shaped building.

The sword qi then slammed directly into the outer layer of the building.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, the floating white crystal towers all shattered.

And the cone-shaped building, having lost its power supply, finally could not withstand the invasion of the sword qi and was sliced into two.

This ruin of a high-level civilization, lacking energy replenishment for many years, ultimately could not block an attack comparable to the peak of level 3.

However, after destroying the cone-shaped building, the sword qi also exhausted its power and subsequently dissipated.

"Damn it! You forced my hand! You forced my hand!"

Having escaped death, Morrgan's eyes flickered with a look of terror.

He had almost died just now!

"I've already fled to this place and didn't want to clash with you, yet you still came to kill me. Fine, fine!"

Looking at the widespread destruction and his subordinates who had been turned into bloody mist, he suddenly began to laugh maniacally.

"I, Morrgan, may be a man who fears death, but if you won't even give me a way to live, then let's die together!"

...
