The whispers grew louder as one of the elders stared at the transparent barrier surrounding the Supreme Sword Sect. "So, this is the power of a formation?" he murmured, his gaze fixed on the shimmering shield. "Young Master Tian has truly opened my eyes. I never imagined a formation could possess such incredible power. But… can it really withstand the enemy's attack?"Murmurs of doubt began to ripple among the sect members. They exchanged uneasy glances, silently questioning whether the formation Xiao Tian had just created could truly withstand the impending threat.Xiao Tian, standing mid-air, heard every word of their hushed conversations. Yet, instead of anger offence, he merely smiled faintly. He understood that the sect members lacked the knowledge to comprehend the formation's true strength.With a cdemeanouranor, he turned his gaze to the senior elders and spoke in a voice filled with unwavering confidence. "If you want to know just how strong this formation is, why not test it
Renyi initially aimed to demonstrate his dominance by arrogantly sitting on a golden throne hovering in midair. He hoped this gesture would make Xiao Tian feel insignificant. However, his plan backfired spectacle, early. Due to his recklessness in underestimating his opponent, his elite troops, whom he relied on, were annihilated in the blink of an eye.Renyi’s body trembled uncontrollably. He repeatedly rubbed his eyes, hoping the scene before him was nothing more than a d deceptive illusion. But the bitter reality was undeniable. The heaps of corpses of his troops scattered across the battlefield were proof enough.“H-How… How could you defeat my thousands of troops in such a short time?” Renyi, a notorious leader of the specialised known for his cruelty, now found himself overcome by a fear he had never felt before. He was accustomed to blood and death, but what he witnessed now was beyond his comprehension. Never had he imagined someone with a lower cultivation realm than his cou
When Xiao Tian successfully eliminated all members of the Skull Organization, the atmosphere within the Supreme Sword Sect was filled with joy. There were two main reasons for this jubilation: first, Xiao Tian's success in eradicating the Skull Organization, and second, Daniel’s breakthrough to the Half-Emperor Martial Rank. These two talented disciples were destined to become solid pillars of the Supreme Sword Sect. Xiao Tian did not ask much about how Daniel had encountered Vianshi'er. Calmly, he took Daniel and Vianshi'er to the Main Hall. There, Fa Wa and the elders immediately prepared a grand banquet to welcome Vianshi'er. Fa Wa quickly realized that Vianshi'er was no ordinary individual—if he could provide resources powerful enough to help Daniel leap from Rank Five Martial King to Half-Emperor Martial Rank, he must possess extraordinary strength. "Grandfather, hasn’t Elder Sister Ziyan emerged from her seclusion yet?" Xiao Tian asked Fa Wa curiously. "Your sister hasn’t com
With a faint smile, Vianshi'er let his mind wander, planning Xiao Tian's future—a gifted disciple he had just discovered in what seemed to be a simple world. Xiao Tian remained concentrated on his refining, his energy spreading so powerfully that the entire Supreme Sword Sect unknowingly gathered outside his residence. Even Fa Wa, the elder who had lived for centuries, stood among the gathered disciples. His gaze was full of curiosity but remained calm. "Do not make noise! Don’t disturb Tian’er!" Fa Wa commanded in a firm yet gentle voice, keeping the crowd orderly. The disciples nodded obediently, not daring to utter a word. They waited in eager anticipation until, finally, the door to Xiao Tian's residence opened. Xiao Tian stepped out, a faint smile gracing his face. "It seems I’ve disrupted your training," he said casually. "But this is good; I don’t need to call you all individually." All eyes were on him. With a wave of his hand, Xiao Tian distributed pills to those who ha
Terrified, she is injured in her soul, so don't treat her physical wounds. Now, let me see the sword," Vianshi'er said calmly yet firmly. "Relax, there's no need to worry that I'll take her sword." Everyone then stepped inside Ziyan Rouxi's residence. While Xiao Tian began treating Ziyan's physical injuries, Vianshi'er carefully picked up the Hellflower Sword. Her smile revealed a hint of curiosity as she held the weapon. With a graceful motion, she unsheathed the sword. Ding— Ding— Ding— A sharp sound echoed as Vianshi'er flicked the sword with her finger. Each flick made the sword tremble violently as if overcome with a deep fear. Inside the sword, the artifact spirit panicked, feeling as though it might shatter with every flick. "Miss, miss, please stop!" the artifact spirit of the Hellflower Sword shouted in a panicked voice. The voice could only be heard by Vianshi'er, inaudible to the others. "You should behave and stop pulling tricks," Vianshi'er warned coldly. "If you c
While Xiao Tian was busy cooking, far away at the border between the She Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty, a towering mountain shrouded in thick clouds stood ominously. This mountain had long been known as a forbidden place for humans, infamous for the dangers lurking in every corner. What few knew was that inside this massive mountain lay the headquarters of the Skull Organization. They had hollowed out the mountain's core and constructed a secret city within. Despite being hidden from the outside world, the town boasted thousands of structures, some of which rose high into the sky, forming a complex labyrinth. Among all the buildings, one stood out as larger and more striking than the rest. It was the Main Hall of the Skull Organization. However, instead of grandeur, the hall exuded an aura of darkness and fear. Stepping into the hall felt like entering a living hell. A suffocating atmosphere filled the space, with its dark walls dimly lit by flickering torches that cast eerie, dancin
Days passed quickly, and Ziyan Rouxi made significant progress in her cultivation. She had now reached the rank of five-and-a-half martial emperor, surpassing Fa Wa, who remained at the rank of four-and-a-half. Fa Wa had only achieved this level thanks to the pills provided by Xiao Tian. Although he had the potential to advance to rank eight, Fa Wa understood that in the world of cultivation, power wasn’t solely dependent on resources. Comprehension of martial arts was crucial, and in this aspect, Fa Wa fell short compared to Ziyan Rouxi, leaving him stuck at rank four-and-a-half. On the other hand, Daniel also progressed rapidly. Like Ziyan Rouxi, he had reached the rank of five-and-a-half martial emperor. Meanwhile, Xiao Tian, who spent most of his time refining pills to boost his strength, managed to advance two ranks, now standing at six-and-a-half martial emperor. Despite having no shortage of resources or understanding, Xiao Tian chose not to focus solely on martial strength. I
“What realm are they in?” Xiao Tian asked again. She Xongjan frowned before answering seriously, “Fifty years ago, they were at the seventh level of the Semi-Martial Emperor realm. But now, I’m not sure. They might have broken through to the eighth level of the Semi-Martial Emperor realm.” Hearing that, Xiao Tian gave a faint smile. “If that’s the case, you don’t need to worry. I’ll handle them.” “No! You won’t face them alone,” a firm voice suddenly interrupted. Ziyan Rouxi appeared in the hall, holding her sword—the Hellfire Rose Sword. “They are brothers, and we’ll face them together as a family.” Moments later, Daniel joined, followed by Vianshi’er, who appeared indifferent, chewing on an apple. “Don’t forget about me,” said Daniel. “The Supreme Sword Sect still has disciples it can rely on.” Vianshi’er said nothing, her gaze fixed on the apple, seemingly unbothered by the tension in the hall. Buzz— Buzz— The auras of Ziyan Rouxi and Daniel erupted with a power that shook
Xiao Tian glanced at Ziyan Rouxi with a faint, meaningful smile. She nodded in return and unsheathed her Hellfire Rose sword. As soon as the blade left its sheath, sharp energy radiated outward, slicing through the air. Slash—Slash— Members of the Skeleton Organization at the second and third ranks couldn’t defend themselves as the sword's energy streaked through their ranks. Several heads rolled to the ground in an instant, accompanied by sickening thuds. The once-confident Skeleton Organization troops felt an unsettling fear creep into their hearts after witnessing the scene. Ziyan Rouxi hadn’t even wielded her sword properly—she had only unsheathed it. Giolin and Ghuali, however, were not afraid. Their eyes gleamed with greed, fixated on the Hellfire Rose sword. Rather than fear, an overwhelming desire consumed them. Merely laying eyes on the weapon sparked an unquenchable longing. "That’s truly the Hellfire Rose Sword, one of the legendary sovereign artifacts. I didn’t expe
“Incredible. I never knew such a sturdy formation existed,” She Xongjan murmured in awe. “How is it possible for the Supreme Sword Sect to possess such a formidable formation while the empire doesn’t?” he thought, staring at the barrier that enveloped the sect, captivated by its strength. If the imperial palace had such a formation, the empire’s reputation would undoubtedly soar. Whoosh— Whoosh— Two elders from the Supreme Sword Sect suddenly knelt before Fa Wa. “Patriarch, the Skull Organization’s forces are approaching. They’ll arrive in less than half an hour.” Fa Wa glanced at Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian nodded and said, “Grandfather, instead of waiting for them here, let’s go out and show that the Supreme Sword Sect doesn’t fear its enemies. We’ll meet them head-on.” “All right, let’s go and greet them,” Fa Wa replied firmly. He immediately took to the skies, followed by Xiao Tian, Ziyan Rouxi, Daniel, and She Xongjan. As they ascended, the Supreme Sword Sect’s forces moved in uni
