Chapter 701: Slain with a Single Strike

“What a fine trap. If this had been a day ago, I might have actually died at your hands. Even with a Medium-sized Grotto Heaven, I couldn’t have broken through the combined, full-powered assault of three Saints and two Quasi-Saints!”

Qin Feng sneered.

After advancing to a Supreme Great Power, the increase in his strength was anything but simple, unlike that of an ordinary Martial Artist.

Because he had cultivated an Innate Yin Spirit, the power he could now unleash far exceeded the Martial Arts Great Power Realm.

By channeling his Grotto Heaven Power, forget a mere Fourth-rank Saint.

He could even slay a Fifth Rank Saint King who had perfected a Holy Soul.

A Law at the Yin God Level could bear and control more than ten times the Grotto Heaven Power he could previously!

“Break for me!”

With a furious roar, his entire Grotto Heaven instantly transformed, becoming a tangible, chaos-colored Giant Sword.

Grotto Heaven Sword Transformation!

He grasped the Giant Sword and slashed out.

In the first instant, the Void shattered!

In the second instant, a hundred miles of the firmament shattered!

In the third instant, the torrent of Law from the Five Saints’ combined attack shattered!

In the fourth instant, the Yang God Law of the two Quasi-Saints was cleaved in two, and they were hacked to death!

Within four or five breaths, the three Saints’ Saint Dao Law shattered, their Sacred Bodies disintegrated, and their Primordial Spirits were obliterated by the sword light amidst horrific screams.

BOOM!

It was as if heaven and earth had been split apart by a single sword strike.

Hundreds of miles of the Void were torn in two, like a great river parted by a blade. The cataclysmic sword light even affected Earth Pole City, despite being hundreds of miles away.

The earth cracked, mountains were sundered, and an ugly scar abruptly appeared on the ancient walls of Earth Pole City itself.

Alerted by the commotion, the many experts within Earth Pole City were startled, and their figures appeared one after another atop the city walls.

Looking up, they were all so horrified they fell silent.

“What is going on?”

Three streaks of Purple Qi soared through the air from the horizon.

“This is…?”

The three Saints looked up, their eyes filled with shock.

The three Saints garrisoning Earth Pole City were no ordinary Saints. The Riding Path Saint, the Earth Element Saint, and the Earth Dragon Saint were all powerhouses among their kind.

In the Demon Ancestral Court, each of them was an overlord in their own right.

They were beings at the Ancestor Level of their respective clans.

Yet the three Saints had never witnessed such terrifying power.

Just a moment ago, a beam of sword light had slashed through their Spiritual Sense. Though it was hundreds of miles away, the three Saints felt as if it had struck their very hearts.

Beneath that sword light, they had practically seen a vision of their own Saint Daos being obliterated and their complete and utter demise.

Moreover, the three Saints could clearly feel that Saints had died to that single sword strike.

More than one, in fact.

The death of a Saint should have been accompanied by a phenomenon.

But that sword strike had utterly erased any such phenomenon!

A chill crept into the very bones of the many experts present. Many of them swallowed hard, their throats moving unconsciously.

It was simply too terrifying!

That terrifying power, a single strike that shattered hundreds of miles of the Void… such might had only ever appeared in legends.

None of them knew the true extent of a Saint’s power, but it had never felt so oppressive.

The faces of the experts twitched as they imagined that sword strike landing on Earth Pole City.

A thick, dark cloud of gloom hung over Earth Pole City as many of the Demon Race experts waited uneasily.

The massive Earth Pole City was like a colossal beast, a crouching Giant Dragon. Once upon a time, it had seemed like an Immortal Fortress.

However, looking at the three Saints, the various experts felt a little more at ease.

All are ants beneath a Saint. Saints were beings who had already achieved the state of Extraordinary to Saint, reigning supreme over the countless members of the Demon Race.

These three Saints were also renowned figures within the Barbaric Ancestral Court.

Among the various Demon Kingdoms, they were absolute superiors, old-timers, even beings at the Ancestor Level.

These three Demon Saints were their Sea Stabilizing Pillar.

They reasoned that with the three Demon Saints present, whoever had attacked would not be able to shake Earth Pole City.

With this comforting thought, the expressions of the many Demon Race experts improved considerably.

However, the three Demon Saints were not nearly as optimistic as the other experts in Earth Pole City.

The three Demon Saints knew very well that it wasn’t just the three of them—even if the entire Earth Pole City threw itself at the attacker, it wouldn’t be enough to withstand a single one of their sword strikes.

“Just who is that expert?”

The strongest of them, the Riding Path Saint, had a grim expression.

He was a young-looking Saint, the very picture of a refined gentleman, as noble as jade.

He was a Warm Stone that had been nurtured in a Spirit Vein, born from absorbing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi for a thousand years. He called himself Riding Path and had been a Saint for a century.

He was considered one of the more formidable powerhouses among Saints.

Yet even this Saint couldn’t help but feel an intense chill rising from the bottom of his heart.

That sword strike was something even Saints had to look up to in awe.

A pressure weighed down on the hearts of the three Saints.

“I hope they’re not an enemy!”

However, the expressions of the three Saints soon changed.

A figure appeared silently in the Void. He wore a set of black robes and looked very young, but his eyes swirled with an incredibly intense Evil Qi.

The tangible Evil Qi turned the clouds for hundreds of miles into a somber black.

A desolate killing intent filled the world.

Under this killing intent, the countless experts of the Demon Race felt a fear that emanated from their very bones, as if their minds were being involuntarily seized by this figure.

The black-robed youth was like a Death God harvesting living souls.

He stood under the setting sun, seeming to have merged with the earth and the twilight itself.

But the three Saints looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

“Are you the guardians of Earth Pole City?” Qin Feng’s gaze fell upon the three Saints as the Chaos Sword, manifested from his Chaos Cave Heaven, appeared in his hand.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

The Chaos Sword hung downward, and the Void itself seemed unable to bear its weight, emitting a heavy grinding sound as it began to distort.

“Who might you be, Your Excellency?” The three Saints’ faces were grim.

Qin Feng exerted an immense pressure on the three of them.

Not even an encounter with a Saint King had been this terrifying!

And yet, Qin Feng was merely at the Supreme Great Power Realm.

“I am Qin Feng, General Fubo, Commander of the Star Sect’s Twelve Armies!” Lifting his head slightly, a cold light flashed in Qin Feng’s dark eyes.

“I have come to invite you to join the Alliance of Stars. From what I know, all three of you are Divine beings, born and nurtured by the heavens and earth in the Barbaric Wilderness. Because of this, despite your formidable strength, you have always been marginalized. You’ve heard of my Alliance of Stars; under my Star Sect, many side sects and Loose Cultivators have established a pact of mutual support, free from oppression, and based on equal cooperation for mutual benefit!”

‘Is this a threat and a bribe?’

‘How dare a mere expert at the Supreme Great Power Realm threaten Saints!’

The eyes of the three Demon Saints twitched. If not for their instincts screaming at them, they would have attacked long ago.

The corners of the three Demon Saints’ mouths twitched.

After a moment, the Earth Element Demon Saint looked up and asked, “And what if we of Earth Pole City refuse to join the Alliance of Stars?”

Qin Feng looked up, smiled coldly, and said, word by word, “You will be shown no mercy!”

A flicker of rage flashed through the eyes of the three Demon Saints.

‘Does this mere wet-behind-the-ears brat really think he can act so presumptuously before Saints!’

Taking in the gazes of the three Saints, Qin Feng shook his head. “Fine. I might as well just cut you all down. Keeping you around offers me no benefit anyway, and it’s a waste of my time!”

BOOM!

Qin Feng raised the Chaos Sword in his hand and swung it in a light, almost casual motion. A clear beam of sword light locked onto the three Saints. He slashed through the air, and a dazzling sword light crashed down like a monstrous tidal wave, sweeping over the three Demon Saints and engulfing them along with the entirety of Earth Pole City…
