Death Grip
In the early morning, countless people gathered in the Sword Sect Plaza. Today marked the unveiling of the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword and the beginning of the Ritual Sword Ceremony.
All those who came for the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword arrived early, waiting for Yan Haoxuan's appearance to get a glimpse of the legendary High-Level Divine Weapon, the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword.
Xing Chen and others were naturally among the crowd. At this moment, due to the Mysterious Jade Pendant, Xing Chen had restored his state to its peak.
Although his soul had been absorbed into the Mysterious Jade Pendant, Xing Chen felt no discomfort. He was not concerned about that now; his main purpose here was to preserve his life. If possible, he certainly would not miss out on the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword.
“Everyone, the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword is in the Thunder Pool. Please follow me to Sword Peak Summit,” Yan Haoxuan finally arrived after a while and led everyone to the Thunder Pool at the peak of Sword Mountain.
The Thunder Pool was a treasure land of the Sword Sect, where countless thunderbolts from the earth converged. The Purple Extreme Thunder Sword was placed there, polished by lightning day and night. Now, after hundreds of years, it had truly taken shape and ranked as a High-Level Divine Weapon.
“Finally going to see the legendary Purple Extreme Thunder Sword. I wonder what astonishing power this High-Level Divine Weapon possesses?” Xing Chen thought to himself. He had never seen a High-Level Divine Weapon; the strongest Divine Weapon he possessed was the Earth Grade Divine Weapon, Slaying God Sword.
However, the Slaying God Sword was merely an Earth Grade Divine Weapon and could not be compared to a High-Level Divine Weapon. Moreover, in his current state, aside from the Seven Killing Blood Seal, he could not use any other techniques.
Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't use them; it was just that any other Martial Arts he could employ would yield no greater power than before—at most, he could contend with someone at the third or fourth level like Yang Po.
Thus, these Martial Arts were almost of no help to him now.
“The Purple Extreme Thunder Sword is finally within reach! How could such a Divine Weapon be monopolized by just one person from the Sword Sect? My royal family is the leader of the Sword Kingdom; such a Divine Weapon should naturally be entrusted to us!”
Xun Hongyi's eyes flickered as he looked ahead, already contemplating how to seize the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword.
“This Divine Weapon should belong to our Sun Kingdom; only my Yang Kingdom Royal Family is worthy of wielding such a Divine Weapon.”
Sun Kingdom Imperial Ancestor, Huang Tongyang gazed ahead at Yan Haoxuan with flickering eyes.
Everyone else had their own ulterior motives; naturally, those who came here wanted to get their hands on the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword, a High-Level Divine Weapon.
Soon, under Yan Haoxuan's lead, they arrived at the Thunder Pool.
In the Thunder Pool, countless bolts of lightning flashed incessantly, and from above, thunder struck down from time to time. At the very center of the Thunder Pool, a massive sword stood tall, measuring hundreds of feet in length.
Countless bolts of lightning struck the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword, while the Electric Silver Serpent continuously flowed into it. A terrifying wave of energy slowly radiated outward from the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword.
“Everyone, this is the High-Level Divine Weapon Purple Extreme Thunder Sword. After hundreds of years of being forged by lightning and the accumulation of countless Thunderous Power, it has become terrifyingly powerful.”
Yan Haoxuan stood before everyone, pointing at the giant sword in the Thunder Pool as he spoke.
Beside the Thunder Pool, several powerful individuals from Yang Po Sevenfold were present. These people were all elders of the Sword Sect, tasked with guarding the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword.
“It is no exaggeration to say that this Purple Extreme Thunder Sword is definitely not weaker than a mid-level Divine Weapon at this moment.”
Yan Haoxuan said again, looking at the astonished crowd.
“Yan Zongzhu, you don’t need to say more; I just want to know how you plan to handle this Purple Extreme Thunder Sword?” At this moment, the lord of Guangyang Prefecture, Yang Yu, spoke with a cold gaze.
Upon hearing this, everyone else also looked at Yan Haoxuan with eager eyes. After all, they had come for the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword, and now that they heard the most important question, they were naturally very concerned.
“Hehe, please rest assured, everyone. Although the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword is a Divine Weapon of our Sword Sect, we cannot monopolize such a Divine Weapon. Therefore, this time our Sword Sect intends to compete fairly with all of you for this Divine Weapon. The final victor will be able to obtain this High-Level Divine Weapon.”
"Yan Haoxuan" spoke loudly.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the crowd immediately lit up with joy. Fair competition meant that all of them had a chance to obtain this "High-Level Divine Weapon."
Although everyone was quite happy, only "Xing Chen" wore a contemplative expression. The Sword Sect's actions surely had ulterior motives; they must have some hidden agenda.
However, while "Xing Chen" understood that this matter was not simple, he couldn't pinpoint what exactly was wrong, so he kept his thoughts to himself.
"Yan Zongzhu, since we are to compete, please tell us how we will do so!" At this moment, someone with a more impatient temperament hurriedly urged.
"Everyone, please calm down and listen to me," "Yan Haoxuan" said with a slight smile. "The 'Purple Extreme Thunder Sword,' being a 'High-Level Divine Weapon,' can only be wielded by someone with immense strength who can suppress all others. Only such a person is worthy of using the 'Purple Extreme Thunder Sword.'"
"While there are many powerful individuals among us, the 'Purple Extreme Thunder Sword' can only be used by the strongest among us. Therefore, we shall hold a contest to see who is the strongest among us and who truly deserves to possess the 'Purple Extreme Thunder Sword!'"
"Yan Haoxuan's" words instantly stirred the emotions of those present. The 'Purple Extreme Thunder Sword,' indeed, should only be wielded by an unparalleled powerhouse. Almost all the strong individuals from the Eastern Region were gathered here; selecting one from among them would essentially mean choosing the strongest in the entire Eastern Region.
It was reasonable for the 'Purple Extreme Thunder Sword' to be given to such a strong individual, and everyone nodded slightly in agreement, finding this method feasible.
However, "Xing Chen's" gaze flickered slightly as he quickly understood "Yan Haoxuan's" scheme. He intended to manipulate the minds of those present, inciting them to fight amongst themselves so that he could reap the benefits.
"Xing Chen" was certain that even if someone managed to dominate and overpower everyone else, they would not be able to take away the 'Purple Extreme Thunder Sword.' After all, this was the territory of the Sword Sect.
After a series of battles, these individuals would either be dead or severely injured and would definitely be unable to contend with the Sword Sect. It was possible that they would be completely annihilated by the Sword Sect's members.
Realizing this, "Xing Chen's" eyes became even more bloodshot, and his gaze toward "Yan Haoxuan" now held a hint of fierce killing intent.
“Young Master Chen, the Sword Sect has a conspiracy…” At this moment, Yuer tugged at Xing Chen and said.
Xing Chen looked at her with slight surprise, not expecting that Yuer could also see through the Sword Sect's conspiracy.
“I know, they want to take this opportunity to weaken the strength of various factions and then eliminate us all here. They might even use this chance to unify the Eastern Region and become the Eastern Domain Overlord.”
Xing Chen nodded. Although he had seen through the Sword Sect's intentions, he had no plans to come out.
Firstly, even if he did come out, those blinded by the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword might not believe him.
Secondly, if he came out, he would definitely become a primary target for the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect might use this as an excuse to deliberately disrupt the situation and incite everyone to attack Xing Chen and his group simultaneously. That would truly be a tragedy. Therefore, although Xing Chen had figured it out, he had no intention of revealing himself.
“Since that's the case, let's get started! What are the rules for the competition? How can we obtain the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword?”
At this time, Ling Guanyu, the leader of the Silver Dragon Alliance, asked impatiently.
“Hehe, it's very simple. As long as everyone is confident in their own strength, they can participate. The competition will take place in this Thunder Pool,”
Yan Haoxuan pointed behind him at the Thunder Pool. Looking at the constantly flickering Electric Silver Serpent in the Thunder Pool and the thunder striking down from time to time, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
“The thunder and lightning in this Thunder Pool can instantly kill a strong person below Yang Po Fivefold. To withstand these thunders, one must have at least Yang Po Sixth Level strength.”
“And to continuously resist them, one needs to have Sun Soul Seventh Peak strength. Therefore, to participate in this competition, one must reach at least Yang Po Sevenfold. Otherwise, before even starting to fight, one would be struck dead by lightning.”
With a smile on his face, Yan Haoxuan slowly explained while taking out a top-tier Divine Weapon of human rank and tossing it into the Thunder Pool.
With a single sound of 'Sizzle', the Human-Grade Divine Weapon was instantly reduced to powder by the thunder and lightning. This scene left the previously skeptical crowd with no doubts; the power of this thunder and lightning, capable of instantly obliterating a top-tier Divine Weapon, was undoubtedly astonishing. It seemed that Yan Haoxuan was indeed telling the truth.
“Yan Zongzhu, isn’t it a bit too dangerous to hold a competition here?” Xun Hongyi frowned and said. Even if it was a competition, there was no need to conduct it in such a perilous place!
If the competition took place in such an environment, even the eventual victor, after exhausting most of their Vital Energy, could potentially die from being unable to withstand the thunder.
“Oh? Does Brother X think this place is unsuitable? However, I believe that only in such an environment can one’s true strength be brought to the limit. Only then can we determine whether the final victor is worthy of possessing an Earth Grade Divine Weapon!”
A slight smile appeared on Yan Haoxuan's lips as he slowly spoke. The reason he chose this Thunder Pool as the competition venue was naturally to increase the likelihood of casualties among the participants; only in this way could he maximize the chances of fulfilling his plan.
“Xun Hongyi, if you are afraid, you can choose not to participate in this competition and stop causing trouble here.”
At that moment, an impatient voice came from afar.
