190: One sword to kill the enemy

“That little beast must be dead now!”

“He must be dead. Three Saint Rank Fourth Heaven experts pulled out their ultimate hidden trump cards; there's no way he could still be alive.”

“He's definitely dead. Get ready to dig him out and collect the body!”

The Disciples from these three factions had already started celebrating prematurely.

Only the Emperor of Great Yan still wore a solemn expression. The final strike was delivered by him, and he could clearly feel that he had not broken the defense of that strange large bell.

However, he felt that after two such violent strikes, the opponent definitely wouldn't be feeling well, perhaps severely injured by the rebound force, just like Chu Feng of the Peerless Sect.

However, the reality disappointed them. Ji Mo, deep underground, was protected by the heaven and earth creation bell and had not suffered much injury.

He was also somewhat shocked that the heaven and earth creation bell had become this terrifying after undergoing qualitative change.

The attacks of the Saint Rank Fourth Heaven experts were no burden to it, and its defensive power was astonishing. Ji Mo estimated that only one-tenth, or even less, of the enemy's attack was transmitted to him.

“What needed to be tested, the enemies have already tested for me. Now, it's my turn to attack.”

A smile appeared on Ji Mo's face, followed immediately by monstrous killing intent.

The Sword Soul in his brow shone brightly, Sword Intent shot up from the deep pit, and the Sword God's low murmur once again echoed through the heavens.

“O base, filthy people, you are blaspheming the life bestowed by the Divine. Today is the time for your execution.”

“Let the Sword God cleanse all the filth and defilement of this world, and reignite the fire of life—Sword God World Destruction!”

Without giving these people any time to react, Ji Mo's figure shot up from the deep pit, one sword breaking through the Nine Heavens, and the majestic illusory figure of the Sword God appeared from the ends of endless time and space.

Carrying blazing rage and wrapped in monstrous murderous intent, it stared directly at the filth and defilement before it.

“Sword God, Slash!”

Following Ji Mo's furious roar, incomparably brilliant Sword Light, originating from the end of the world, scattered and densely covered the entire plaza, encompassing the three factions' formations.

“Annihilate,” “Annihilate,” “Annihilate.”

This character continually echoed above the Void Realm, representing the intent behind this single sword strike.

The plaza looked magnificent due to the dazzling Sword Light, but once triggered, it was world-annihilating killing intent.

Suddenly, the majestic illusory figure at the end of the world raised its right arm, and the sword in its hand slashed down.

Countless brilliant and overbearing Sword Intent swept across heaven and earth. The north, south, east, west, and all directions were completely covered by Sword Intent, Sword Qi, and Sword Light.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz...”

This was the Sword Qi slicing, vibrating, and exploding, cutting the entire plaza into fragments.

The Sword God's single strike split into three in the sky: one slashed towards the Holy Light Shield of the Great Yan Empire, one towards the massive mountain defense of the Heavenly Wind Empire, and the last one slashed towards the Purple Gold Gourd.

“Bang!”

Upon initial contact, the Holy Light Shield and the Sword Qi emitted an extremely dazzling light. A second later, the Holy Light Shield instantly exploded, and the Sword Qi, its momentum undiminished, slashed towards the Emperor of Great Yan.

The Emperor of Great Yan looked at the Sword Qi, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief. He had not expected this single sword strike to be so powerful, definitely surpassing an Intermediate Heaven Rank Sword Technique.

He hurriedly summoned a Heart Guard Mirror. This was a Peak Sacred Artifact, and its surface shone brightly, blocking him.

“Crack!”

This Sacred Artifact was indeed extraordinary; it seemed to carry a reflective force, directly snapping the Sword God's Sword Qi.

In his haste, the Emperor of Great Yan also suffered. His crown was shaken off by the strike, leaving him disheveled and extremely embarrassed, and a sword mark still appeared on the mirror's surface.

The people of the Great Yan Empire were miserable. With the Holy Light Shield shattered, the Sword Qi filling the plaza seemed to smell the scent of blood and food, and it frantically rushed towards the ministers, princes, guards, and Disciples of the various Sects.

“Ah...”

Those Mouth Kings who had previously insulted Ji Mo were now undergoing the cruel torture of *lingchi*, their bones scraped and flesh peeled away, slowly being pulverized.

Following them were the slightly stronger ministers and Sect Elders, who were cut to pieces by the dense, brilliant Sword Qi. Blood mist permeated the area, creating an extremely tragic scene.

Only those Saint Rank Two experts were still resisting. Their main forces had been completely slaughtered, leaving only a handful of people—everyone else was dead.

Looking at the Heavenly Wind Empire's side, their situation was almost identical to that of the Great Yan Empire. The massive Sword Qi was like a heaven-splitting blade, cleaving the mountain with one strike.

The massive mountain illusion formed by the Mountain Moving Seal also lasted less than three seconds before it violently exploded and turned into nothingness.

Emperor Tianfeng managed to throw the Mountain Moving Seal towards the Sword Qi in time, narrowly escaping disaster, and was at least not as embarrassed as the Emperor of Great Yan.

The ministers, princes, princesses, and Sect members of the Heavenly Wind Empire were equally miserable. Without the Emperor's protection, none survived the terrifying Sword Qi.

The most tragic were the Disciples of the Peerless Sect. The Wind Fiend released by the Purple Gold Gourd was undeniably powerful, but its defensive capability was too poor.

It simply could not resist this world-annihilating strike. The powerful Sword Qi passed straight through the massive Dragon formed by the Wind Fiend; the Wind Fiend was utterly helpless against this sword strike.

“Dong!”

A crisp collision sound rang out. The Purple Gold Gourd was directly knocked away by the strike and flew straight towards Elder Mu's location. No one else dared to try and seize Ji Mo's spoils of war now, so Elder Mu casually collected it.

“Hehe, this is a wine gourd Lad Ji Mo respectfully presented to me. This old man won't be polite.”

Ancestor Tianhong was drenched in cold sweat. He frantically unleashed every attack method within the Peerless Art, ultimately sacrificing two ordinary Sacred Artifacts just to block the strike.

The several Elders behind him were also having a rough time. This series of attacks was extremely intense; these old bones were sweating profusely, half from exhaustion and half from fright.

The several thousand Peerless Sect elites who had been cheering were the most tragic.

“Ah...”

“Elder, save me! Old Ancestor, save me!”

Screams were endless. The cruel torture they suffered was not only from Ji Mo's Sword Qi but also from the Wind Fiend that had lost the control of the Purple Gold Gourd.

This Wind Fiend was incredibly malicious, acting like highly corrosive sulfuric acid, slowly eroding one's Physical Body down to the white bones, forcing them to watch their own death inch by inch—the height of despair.

Unfortunately, their Old Ancestor could barely protect himself and was powerless to help.

At this moment, the plaza truly resembled Avīci Hell, filled with terrified souls, blood mist, and bone fragments scattered everywhere.

If Spiritual Plants were sown here next year, they would definitely grow luxuriantly.

“It was this very sword strike! That day in the Endless Sea Region, this strike killed the Sea Dragon King.”

“Yes! But this strike is even stronger now. Nothing less than a Saint Rank Fourth Heaven expert can withstand it.”

“The idol is still the idol, unbelievably powerful!”

“Too brutal! Thousands slaughtered by a single sword!”

These were the people who had returned from the Endless Sea Region, who were fortunate enough to have witnessed Ji Mo's Divine Might before, and now they lamented that he had grown even stronger.

Elder Mu also sighed with emotion, “This lad is truly powerful now, especially this Heart-Nature of 'I Am The Only Honored One,' domineering, decisive, and murderous—he surpasses even me back then. The younger generation is truly formidable!”

Those emperors who had traveled a long distance felt extremely fortunate. Thankfully, they were far from the Heavenly Dragon Empire and had no grievances with it. If they had intervened, whether they could even return home would have been questionable.

A single thought simultaneously arose in the hearts of the Sect members from all the various nations: “This person must not be provoked.”
