Chapter 373: Divine Skill: Supreme Extinction Celestial Sword

Within the shattered land, thick dust swirled around a lone figure. His body was covered in blood, a truly wretched sight. A constant stream of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the soil. From time to time, arcs of lightning flickered across his body, emitting a terrifying pressure.

Gu Yun’s gaze was heavy as he looked up at the sky. A colossal Palm Seal, vast enough to blot out the sun, was bearing down on him. It contained supreme power, ready to crush all of existence. The intangible energy of the world had locked onto him, making escape impossible. In his severely wounded state, he knew he couldn’t possibly withstand such a supreme Technique.

“Is this the end?” Gu Yun murmured under his breath. His eyes, flickering with arcs of lightning, watched as the dark, brilliant light emanating from the giant palm in the sky grew larger and larger. It felt as if an entire world was descending to crush him, a feeling of absolute powerlessness.

‘To have come to this mortal world, but to fall before I could ascend the path to immortality, escape the Celestial Essence Realm, and travel to the vast and boundless Cangwu Immortal Continent… what a pity.’ Gu Yun thought to himself, as if speaking his last words.

‘If I hadn’t come to ambush this Demon Fiend, would I have avoided this calamity?’

In his final moments, a thought couldn’t help but flash through Gu Yun’s mind.

Then, the corners of his mouth turned up. ‘So be it.’

‘My heart is my own. I have no regrets about this path. From the day I first stepped onto the road to immortality, I considered the possibility of death. I just… never thought this day would come so soon.’

“Let it be so…” Gu Yun’s gaze was fixed on the sky-blotting Palm Seal above, which pulsed with supreme Divine Power and grew ever larger. He slowly closed his eyes, preparing to answer the Death God’s call.

“Demon Fiend, how dare you!”

Suddenly, a young man’s voice, brimming with Dao Rhythm, echoed throughout the heavens and earth like a sudden clap of thunder.

VMMMM!

All at once, in the dim sky, the phantom of a Vast Sword River, imbued with the aura of a Dao Domain, appeared. It traversed the Void Celestial from beyond the cosmos, descending upon this world with extreme power.

Immediately after, the Vast Sword River became like a tsunami Devouring Heaven and Earth, covering every inch of the world for ten thousand miles. It carried an incredibly pure Sword Intent as it tore through the sky, surging overwhelmingly toward the sky-blotting, dark Palm Seal.

HSSSS!

The two supremely tyrannical forces violently collided in the void, instantly creating a world-shaking explosion. Vast swaths of the surrounding space shattered. In that moment, the heavens and earth seemed to be struck by a primordial tsunami, shaking violently. Terrifying aftershocks swept out in all directions as spatial storms ravaged the sky.

The vast sword light and the dark, giant palm intertwined, casting brilliant rays of light for miles.

The terrifying power of a Sword Domain and the exceedingly pure, high-quality Demon Qi that surpassed the Tongxuan Realm devoured one another. It was like two worlds colliding, releasing an earth-shattering might.

After everything gradually settled down,

A young man appeared, suspended in the dim sky. He wore white robes, with a slender build and a handsome face. He had sword-like brows and star-like eyes, which were as deep as the night sky. His heaven-reaching Sword Intent and Wushuang Dao Rhythm emanated the supreme aura of the Domain Realm.

The young man held a sharp sword that shimmered with silver light. It radiated an extreme sharpness and seemed to possess a spirit of its own.

“Eldest Senior Brother…”

Seeing the newcomer, Gu Yun’s pupils shrank. With a look of shock on his face, he exclaimed, “Senior Brother Ye, why are you here!”

“Heh, if I hadn’t come, wouldn’t you have been sent on your way, Junior Brother?” Ye Xuantian laughed heartily.

On his way? On what way?

The Path to the Underworld, of course.

Hearing this, a smile also appeared on Gu Yun’s blood-stained lips.

At that moment, the ‘Blood Nether Celestial’ who was suspended in the void stared directly at the white-robed young man before him, who exuded an aura that made him feel a trace of apprehension.

This shocked him to his core. ‘How is this possible?!’

‘If my senses aren’t mistaken, his Cultivation is only at the Tongxuan Realm Late Stage.’

‘How could a mere native of the Celestial Essence Realm at the Tongxuan Realm Late Stage make me feel even a hint of apprehension?’

His blood-red pupils, glinting with a cold light, stared at the white-robed young man as he said in a deep voice,

“You’re overstepping your bounds!”

“You dare interfere in my affairs?!”

Hearing this, Ye Xuantian’s expression remained impassive. His deep eyes seemed to pierce through all things as he faced the ‘Blood Nether Celestial’ from a distance. Ignoring his words completely, he said coldly, “You are not of this world, are you?”

Hearing this, the ‘Blood Nether Celestial’s’ pupils shrank, and his mind reeled in shock.

‘When I descended, only this world’s Celestial Dao should have been able to detect that I am a traveler from beyond. Ordinary people, even Unity Realm Cultivators of this world, shouldn’t be able to determine with certainty that I am an outsider. Yet this man pointed it out so bluntly.’

‘How… how in the world did he figure it out?!’

The ‘Blood Nether Celestial’ narrowed his eyes. Without further ado, he said in a low voice, “Then do you understand that for me to kill you is as simple as slaughtering a chicken?”

Ye Xuantian laughed.

‘If he were here in his prime, his true self descended with the mighty power of the Tribulation Cosmos Realm, then yes, it would be as he says. But now? He’s just relying on a sliver of his Divine Soul, forcibly descending by borrowing another’s body. His strength isn’t even one percent of what it was at his peak. With just that… he wants to kill me? What a joke.’

“Then what’s with all the useless talk?!” Ye Xuantian’s voice was frigid, a flash of killing intent in his eyes. His Magical Power surged, his Dao Rhythm reached for the heavens, and the Divine Power of his Sword Domain became peerless. A majestic momentum erupted from him as he continued, “No matter who you are, I will be sending you to your death.”

“Die!”

Without the slightest hesitation, a glint of sword light flashed in Ye Xuantian’s eyes, like a sharp blade that pierced the heavens, shimmering with a cold, sharp light.
