Eternal Swordmaster
Chapter 475 - 469

Chapter 475: 469

"Primordial merges with one Qi, Five Qi dominate the sky."

The leader from Shang Yang, towering at four meters, suddenly stepped forward.

Hiss!

A red stream of light abruptly shot out from the tip of the large umbrella she held; as soon as it emerged, it violently exploded. It turned into countless flames, encasing a surrounding area of hundreds of meters in a blanket of crimson.

The ground gradually began to melt, trees caught fire and emitted black smoke, grass withered into black ash, and stones glowed red and dissolved into magma.

The red stream of light circled once and then darted after Lin Xin, following closely behind the black serpent.

The Vice Banner Master of the Red Spine Sect, dressed in blue, casually tossed out the red flag.

The flag spun in the air and suddenly burst open, radiating a crimson halo.

Wherever the halo reached, everything split in two, shooting towards Lin Xin like a tide.

"Fate’s disaster, inseparable from life and death!"

He chanted a mantra activating the flag, and the red halo transformed by the flag instantly dispersed, blending into the vast red space opened by the leader from Shang Yang.

"Everyone, take action with all your might! This red flag is a supreme divine treasure! It can lock divine souls, making it impossible to use Escape Skills to flee until life and death are determined within this space!"

He loudly communicated to the other three.

However, the last of them, the Plum Blossom Celestial Maiden, brought out a long silver needle, which whirled in the air and instantly transformed into a giant spirit with the upper body of a human and the lower body of white mist.

This giant spirit, muscular and strong, held a Demon-Subduing Pestle, surrounded by clouds and mist, its eyes shone gold, and it radiated an overwhelming might. The Soul Domain it opened up could even comparably match the Solidification Realm of Yuan Jing. Its power was terrifying.

Yet compared to the other three, the Plum Blossom Celestial Maiden’s methods still fell short, clearly showcasing the gap between the Central and Southern Prefectures.

The four of them working together instantly unleashed an offensive that turned the space around Lin Xin into darkness.

Space and time turned into a black sphere, enveloping Lin Xin.

The space shattered, reverting into the Innate Nether Realm.

"Legends say that outside the Outer Regions or the solar membranes, space is enveloped by the endless Nether Domain. I didn’t believe it, but now it seems there is truth in these words..."

Lin Xin allowed the crazed space attempting to mend itself, the mighty force grinding and compressing against his flesh, but having reached Yuan Jing, he had already grasped some of the spatial rules. This grinding force posed no threat to him.

At that moment, the first attack, the black serpent, charged at him.

It swirled in the black space, diving down to bite him.

This space, broken and reverted back into the Innate Nether Realm, seemed narrow, but in reality, it was as if he had entered another world, with an infinitely vast area. This was because the rupture of space caused the time it carried to also twist.

Lin Xin’s body power twisted and gathered, constantly converging towards his right arm.

His muscles also rolled continuously, crazily compressing towards his right hand.

He wielded his sword and stepped forward confidently, slashing through the air.

Hiss!

A light, red sword mark shot out, gradually disappearing into the darkness.

But in an instant, the sword mark lit up brightly, igniting from a near-extinguished state into an intensely blazing fire.

The sword mark surprisingly burst into flames!

After entering Yuan Jing, the Star Force within Lin Xin underwent a qualitative transformation, coupled with an understanding of Taoist Intent unified in a thousand hearts, he finally re-forged the Red Flower Sword Path he had previously mastered.

Holding a sword in one hand and the Evil Soul Orb and Righteous Soul Pearl slowly rotating in his left, Lin Xin’s body gradually ignited into a blood-red blaze.

"Destiny ordained, all things transform."

His eyes suddenly ignited into golden red flames.

"Qilin..."

"Holy Sound!"

Lin Xin’s eyes suddenly widened.

Roar!!!

The distant sword mark burst open, releasing a mass of golden flames, turning into a massive Golden Qilin colliding with the black serpent.

The two massive beasts frantically tore and fought each other. In just a few moments, the black serpent clearly began to falter.

"Innate Divine Ability!!?"

Lu Sanxi of Void Sword Cave exclaimed in shock.

Not just him, at the sight of the golden Qilin, the other three also froze.

His Divine Treasure, the Supreme Rotating Sovereign Knife transformed into the black serpent, could reflect fifty percent of postnatal attack back at the opponent, but it was utterly useless against Innate Divine Abilities.

At that moment, the other two Divine Treasures also arrived.

The red stream of light released by the leader from Shang Yang, with a terrifying power to burn everything, scorched all nearby matters to cinders rushing towards the Golden Qilin.

Boom!!

The two collided fiercely, the Qilin emitting a reluctant roar, eventually bursting explosively, disappearing along with the black serpent and the red stream of light.

The last attack, the giant spirit of the Plum Blossom Celestial Maiden, successfully reached Lin Xin.

Hiss!

Behind Lin Xin, a sword rack appeared, and from the four sheathed blades, a sword light suddenly shot out, flashing past the front of the giant spirit in the blink of an eye.

The massive giant spirit instantly stiffened in mid-air, a slow blood mark emerging on its body.

Hiss!

It was bisected, exploding into pure elemental energy.

With that, the powerful assault unleashed by the four was instantly neutralized by Lin Xin.

"Do you have any more moves?"

He looked at the four with some anticipation, eager to know his own strength after returning from the Outer Regions. The collaboration of these four Yuan Jing was the perfect opportunity for him to understand his current standing.

The faces of the four from Shang Yang turned even grimmer.

These four Divine Treasures were their strongest offensive tools, and they had directly resorted to them for attacking, but to no avail.

The opponent had merged Innate Divine Abilities into his sword technique, and the power it unleashed was monstrously great. Even a cultivator in the Integration Phase couldn’t have done better.

"This demon... His cultivation has reached an unimaginably profound level... It seems we’ll return empty-handed today,"

The expression in Celestial Maiden Mei Hua’s eyes was somewhat grave.

"If we act again, such a major move will surely drain him. We are four against one, we need not fear him!"

Void Sword Cave’s Lu Sanxi, however, was not convinced.

In each hand, he took out a black disc, and pushed both forward simultaneously.

Dang!!

A huge wave of sonic booms started rippling through the air, surrounding Lin Xin.

The sound waves seemed alive, twisting from all directions to surround him, sealing off every possible angle Lin Xin could evade to.

But it was all in vain. A sword light arose behind Lin Xin, and in a blink, it slashed through the sound waves, creating cracks, and completely shattered the offensive in just moments.

The Vice Banner Master of the Red Spine Sect also spread open his red flag, donning a pair of silver gloves studded with bloody jade, coordinating with Lu Sanxi. He reached into the air and pulled out dozens of transparent threads, and it was unclear what they were, as they shot towards Lin Xin.

These transparent threads, however, only made it halfway before being ignited by flames released from the sword marks in mid-air, breaking inch by inch and falling down as burnt ashes. Surprisingly, they were tiny insects resembling six-legged, four-eyed fleas.

"My Sikong bugs...!"

A pained expression appeared on Lu Sanxi’s face.

Meanwhile, Celestial Maiden Mei Hua and True Lord Shang Yang each released a new Giant Spirit Needle and a One Qi Primordial Umbrella treasure to attack.

Lin Xin once again slashed out a Holy Sound Qilin. Four swords arose behind his back, forming a sword array that autonomously flew out to defend against the attacks of the four people.

For a time, on the back mountain of Taikun Mountain, five people were locked in a stalemate, sinking into a war of attrition.

The mountain’s terrain was quickly devastated, as all five hovered in midair, enveloped in a gigantic red sphere thousands of meters in diameter. This was the Soul Domain formed by the spread of the red flag, which could limit escape skills and prevent Yuan Jing cultivators from escaping.

Once Lin Xin’s attributes were no longer suppressed, removing the weakening effect of the Soul Domain, the power augmented on his Magic Sword was surprisingly great.

His strength instantly transcended the realms of Entering Void and Solidification, equivalent to a cultivator of the Integration Phase, Third Layer.

The gap between each phase of Yuan Jing cultivation was immense.

After just a brief standoff, the four began to falter.

Yet Lin Xin casually released another sword strike, and the Holy Sound Qilin roared as it charged towards them, making it seem all too easy.

"This monster! Why did I think it was a good idea to provoke this monster!?"

A sliver of regret began to creep into the heart of Void Sword Cave’s Lu Sanxi.

He had tried all his most powerful methods in a short time, but none were able to breach the defenses of Lin Xin’s sword array.

Seeing that a prolonged attack was unsuccessful and multitasking to maintain the Soul Domain and treasures, while releasing Divine Skills, his Spiritual Energy also began to falter.

"I need to find a way to retreat."

His small eyes started scanning around, looking for an opportunity to exit the battlefield.

It was this moment of distraction that caused a slight delay in his offensive.

Boom!!

An explosive crimson shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, shockingly, it was Lin Xin who was just hundreds of meters away a moment ago.

Too late to react, Lu Sanxi instinctively defended with the black disc treasure in front of him.

Dang dang dang dang dang...!

In an instant, Lin Xin’s four swords behind him relentlessly slashed out over a hundred swords. The sound of swords clashing combined, merging into a deafening, terrifying roar.

Countless dense layers of Sword Shadows fell from Lin Xin’s hands onto Lu Sanxi’s black disc. Finally, they overlapped into one sword.

Boom!!

The black disc shattered.

The Soul Domain in front of Lu Sanxi was instantly smashed, and his body harshly plunged towards the ground like a cannonball.

But just below him, a golden Qilin was charging upwards.

Thunderous Boom!

Three White Lotus flowers flashed and burst, transforming into blinding White Light that swallowed the Qilin along with it, turning everything into a cloud of white.

"Three Flowers Shattered!?"

The hearts of the other three skipped a beat. Just one moment of distraction, and Lu Sanxi had been instantly slain?

"Let’s go!"

Cold sweat broke on Celestial Maiden Mei Hua’s brow. Her cultivation and combat strength were the lowest. If not now, then when?

She decisively turned to flee.

But when she activated her escape skill, it had no effect.

Only then did she remember the effect of the previously spread red flag, which locked space to block escape techniques and prevented Yuan Jing masters from escaping using spatial techniques.

Originally, they planned to use it to besiege Lin Xin, preventing his escape, but now it had unexpectedly become their own grave.

Without time to think further, she turned into a white long rainbow, flying towards the distant sky.

Boom!!

Just as she flew a hundred meters away, a familiar explosion sound came from behind. Massive Star Force scattered wildly, stirring the surrounding skies filled with dense white clouds, obscuring everything for a moment.

Another Three Flowers explosion occurred.

Just as Celestial Maiden Mei Hua had this thought, she felt a chill down her spine, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her waist.

She looked back.

Lin Xin, somehow catching up to her side, was just drawing a sword from her waist.

Hiss!

In midair, Celestial Maiden Mei Hua’s body was torn into two pieces like a rag, falling apart.

Colorful auras emitted from her body, sucked in through Lin Xin’s mouth and nose like shooting stars.
