Chapter 374 - 197: Divine Skill: Supreme Extinction Celestial Sword

He took a step forward, sending ripples through the air. Like a bolt of lightning tearing across the sky, he raised the Celestial Punishment Sword—a Dao Artifact shimmering with silver light and brimming with Divine Power—and slashed violently toward his opponent.

"Excellent!" Seeing such ruthlessness, the Blood Nether Celestial sneered. "Since you’re so eager to die, this Venerable will grant your wish."

BANG!

The Blood Nether Celestial’s body trembled as Demonic Power erupted from within him, roiling like dragons and serpents. He clenched his five fingers into a fist, veins bulging as gnarled Demon Qi coiled around it. Shattering space, he shot forward to blast his opponent.

CLANG!!

A fist as indestructible as steel instantly slammed into its target, creating a sound like the clash of armies. Terrifying shockwaves spread out in all directions.

In the next instant, the two transformed into streaks of light, soaring above the Nine Heavens. They flickered in and out of sight as they tried to kill each other, their clashes producing terrifying rumbles. Massive, dark, and silent holes continuously appeared in the sky as the supremely tyrannical fluctuations stretched for ten thousand miles!!

"Senior Brother Ye is so strong!!"

Standing on the ground below, Gu Yun stared at Ye Xuantian beyond the Nine Heavens, his face a mask of shock. He was keenly aware of how powerful this Demon Fiend was—the strongest he had ever encountered in his life. In just a few blows, it had pushed him to the brink of death. And yet, Senior Brother Ye was fighting such a ferocious being on even ground.

Just as Gu Yun was reeling from the shock,

BANG! BANG! BANG!!

High above the Nine Heavens, the battle between Ye Xuantian and the Blood Nether Celestial had already reached a fever pitch. After several more clashes, the surrounding space completely shattered and disintegrated, revealing an endless, dark, abyssal void.

Ye Xuantian’s sword light crisscrossed the Nine Heavens. Every move and stance was infused with the power of his Sword Domain, containing supreme might that shattered space and made the world tremble. Meanwhile, the Blood Nether Celestial’s incomparably pure Demon Qi ravaged the heavens and the earth, his demonic light radiating an intimidating aura that awed the firmament.

PFFT!!

After another tyrannical clash, Ye Xuantian’s vast combat experience allowed him to seize upon a fleeting flaw in his opponent’s defense. A cold glint flashed in his profound eyes as he swung his sharp sword in an upward arc, then thrust forward from an incredibly tricky angle. Piercing through the void and penetrating the world, his blade carried an ultimate, razor-sharp Sword Intent as it stabbed instantly toward the opening!

SCHLICK!!

In the next instant, a wound so deep the bone was visible appeared on the Blood Nether Celestial’s waist. Blood flowed from it like a stream. The Blood Nether Celestial’s figure then abruptly retreated, moving like a phantom as he flitted across space, reappearing a thousand miles away in a flash.

’Dammit! This guy...’ A hint of shock filled the Blood Nether Celestial’s crimson eyes. ’His combat experience is even greater than mine? How is that possible?!’

’How could I not be shocked? The combat experience of a native Cultivator from the Celestial Essence Realm actually surpasses that of a Tribulation Cosmos Venerable like myself!’

’Moreover, he grasped Dao Domain Power while only in the Tongxuan Realm, and his Sword Technique is incredibly sharp. If I’m not mistaken, he must be a prodigy of monstrous talent. In fact, his talent would be considered top-tier even among the tens of thousands of worlds in the Cangwu Immortal Continent!’

’To think that such a terrifying prodigy could be born in the Celestial Essence Realm,’ the Blood Nether Celestial thought. ’If he’s allowed to mature safely, he’ll definitely reach the Tribulation Cosmos Realm or even higher. When that happens, my Demon Race will have provoked another terrifying powerhouse... Therefore, I absolutely cannot let him live.’

Even if it meant his Divine Soul Avatar would be utterly destroyed, he was determined to kill Ye Xuantian completely—to cut the weeds and pull up the roots, solving the problem once and for all.

With this in mind, a heaven-shattering killing intent surged in the Blood Nether Celestial’s crimson pupils. He was just about to strike—

but Ye Xuantian was one to press his advantage. The moment he seized the opening and knocked his opponent back,

he had already begun to unleash a supremely powerful Divine Skill and Technique that he often used in his past life.

A glimmer of sword light swirled within the eyes of Ye Xuantian, who stood suspended in the Void Celestial, his white robes fluttering. It was like a peerless, sharp sword that could annihilate countless spaces, and it shone with an unprecedented, razor-sharp radiance.

A terrifying Sword Rhythm coiled around his body, containing the mysterious and unfathomable might of his Sword Domain. The next moment, a horrifying Sword Intent shot straight into the clouds.

The world itself seemed to change as winds and clouds stirred. Space trembled and fractured as if terrified of what was to come. Ye Xuantian formed a one-handed incantation, creating a profound Seal.

"Divine Skill: Supreme Extinction Celestial Sword!"

Behind Ye Xuantian, a phantom image of a Heaven-Reaching Sword River faintly appeared in the sky. It was blood-red, contained supreme killing intent, and was so boundlessly vast it stretched for ten thousand miles. The Divine Power of the Sword Domain it radiated invisibly seemed to hold the magnificent power to destroy worlds, while its ultimate, Heaven-Reaching Sword Intent could annihilate all. The sheer momentum was immense!

"KILL!!"

Following Ye Xuantian’s furious roar, which was laced with a bone-chilling killing intent, the entire vast, illusory sword river was fully activated. It transformed into a river of pure, crimson sword light that spanned ten thousand miles, surging toward the Blood Nether Celestial to obliterate him.

’This level of power?!!’

The Blood Nether Celestial’s pupils violently contracted to the size of a pinprick. Facing this attack, he actually felt the threat of death. One must understand, he was a Tribulation Cosmos Venerable, a powerhouse even in the context of the entire Cangwu Immortal Continent! Yet here he was, feeling a fatal crisis from a native of the Celestial Essence Realm.

"AHH!

This Venerable wants you dead!!"

After the initial shock and terror, all that remained was endless fury.

If he, a Tribulation Cosmos Realm Venerable, were to lose to a Tongxuan Realm Cultivator, he would become the laughingstock of all the other Venerables of the same realm in the Immortal Continent.

The Blood Nether Celestial was enraged.

Even if he had to sacrifice this Divine Soul Avatar, he would utterly suppress and kill his opponent!
