Chapter 0: High Emperor Beast Tide
Considering that he had not yet succeeded, Lian Yun felt that the first three advanced Soul Swords he forged must be handed over to the Treasure Alliance. Moreover, he believed that this exquisite Soul Sword was truly suitable for Xiao Jun, so in the end, Lian Yun chose to give it to Xiao Jun.
However, Lian Yun still explained the situation to Qian Duoduo, which led to a barrage of angry complaints from him. Qian Duoduo insisted that it should have been given directly to Xiao Jun without involving him, leaving him feeling deeply regretful.
This statement indicated agreement, and Lian Yun repeatedly apologized. He also mentioned that he had a batch of materials that might be used to forge self-advancing Soul Gear, just waiting for his master to return.
With this, Qian Duoduo's mood improved significantly. He inexplicably demanded all of Lian Yun's White Spirit Coins and helped him exchange them for Diamond Spirit Coins.
Lian Yun, unsuspecting of any ulterior motives, handed over tens of billions of White Spirit Coins to Qian Duoduo and even gave him three hundred exquisite Soul Swords.
Qian Duoduo was astonished but seemed reluctant to see Lian Yun any longer and hurriedly sent him away.
Lian Yun felt a bit speechless but didn't mind much. He then called Ma Wenlong back to deliver the Soul Sword to Xiao Jun at the Xianjian Sect.
Now, Lian Yun could find many supporters for Ma Wenlong and others, but for stability's sake, the Xianjian Sect was more suitable. Thus, he wanted Ma Wenlong to make an appearance there; if Ma Wenlong and his companions decided to ally with the Xianjian Sect in the future, it wouldn't seem so abrupt.
However, Ma Wenlong showed no particular reaction and left with a heavy expression.
Another day passed, and Lian Yun finally forged thousands of high-level Soul Swords. Shortly after, the newly forged Soul Swords merged into the Wutai Sword.
Previously, whenever Lian Yun forged one sword, Wu Tai would merge one as well. The momentum on the Blade grew increasingly intense. Yet even after merging nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine swords, its momentum remained at a considerable level.
However, after merging the final sword, a qualitative change occurred, reaching an unprecedented level.
This overwhelming momentum erupted in an instant but quickly retracted, causing the Wutai Sword to revert to its ordinary appearance once again.
Seeing this, Lian Yun naturally felt delighted and then wanted to go out and test the true power of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique. So, Lian Yun contacted Tian Shou to inquire about places where Chaos Beasts of Monarch level or higher were densely distributed.
After receiving the information, Lian Yun set out.
He teleported from his courtyard to the Teleportation Array in Xianyang City, and immediately noticed that the atmosphere around him was completely different from yesterday. While it had been somewhat heavy before, it now felt extremely tense, as if everyone was filled with worry.
Upon teleporting to Handan City, he found that the situation was the same there.
Feeling somewhat puzzled, Lian Yun sent a message to Tian Shou while on his way to the city lord's mansion. He had noticed Ma Wenlong's grave expression yesterday, and since Tian Shou was primarily responsible for gathering intelligence, he figured Tian Shou should know something.
The reply Lian Yun received was: Twelve Cities, High Emperor Beast Tide.
This meant that all Twelve Cities would be attacked by a Beast Tide. The High Emperor Beast Tide was undoubtedly the strongest type of Beast Tide.
Typically, Beast Tides come in three tiers; for instance, in an Initial Emperor Beast Tide, most of the Chaos Beasts would be at Initial Monarch level, but there would also be Medium Monarch level Chaos Beasts and a small number of High Emperor level Chaos Beasts.
Now, this High Emperor Beast Tide represented Chaos Beasts at High Emperor, Top Emperor, and Peerless Monarch levels.
It couldn't get any higher; anything above that would be Demigod level Chaos Beasts. If Demigod level Chaos Beasts were involved, a single wave could lead to countless deaths, making it even more dangerous for monarchs to engage in battle.
At that time, although Yin Yang City had many Monarchs, how could tens of thousands of Monarchs defend against a Chaos Beast Tide capable of covering all Twelve Cities? When calculated carefully, each city had gates on all sides, and it was possible that fewer than a thousand people would participate in the defense at any one gate.
No wonder everyone in each city felt lost and anxious.
However, Lian Yun believed that Twelve Cities would definitely not be in danger. After all, if Twelve Cities were breached and the incoming population were slaughtered almost entirely, it would not align with Yin Yang City's interests at all.
However, Lian Yun couldn't understand the purpose behind Yin Yang City's actions.
Not thinking too much about it, Lian Yun accepted an unlimited kill mission from Han Feizi and headed directly to a vast plain seven hundred miles away from Handan City.
The entire grassland was incredibly expansive, yet there wasn't a single person in sight. The recent High Emperor Beast Tide had caused everyone to retreat to their respective Major Power bases or the Twelve Cities. Additionally, the plains were home to groups of wild buffalo-like Chaos Beasts, numbering in the tens of thousands and standing four to five meters tall.
These were all Medium Monarch level.
They weren't particularly powerful individually, but they moved in coordinated groups.
For instance, the nearest group to Lian Yun charged forward with tens of thousands of medium Supreme Chaos Beasts, their fierce and overwhelming momentum rivaling that of many Top Emperors combined.
However, aside from the pressure emanating from Demigod level and above, other forms of momentum had little effect on Lian Yun, no matter how vigorous they were.
Seeing them approach actively made Lian Yun smile slightly; with Wu Tai in hand, he awaited their arrival.
As the leading forces came within a hundred meters of Lian Yun, he casually pointed with Sword One, unleashing a torrent of swords.
Boom~~~
With a thunderous roar, over ten thousand wild buffalo collapsed to the ground before vanishing swiftly. The remaining buffalo seemed to split in two as they continued charging toward Lian Yun.
Lian Yun paid them no mind but frowned slightly.
The power of this sword strike was undoubtedly immense, yet it did not align with the effect Lian Yun had anticipated.
In Lian Yun's heart, the Ten Thousand Sword Technique was meant to be reused after its execution. Otherwise, this one strike would consume a third of his spiritual energy, leaving him with only three attacks worth of power.
However, Lian Yun felt no regret, as he merely wanted to make a simple attempt with this sword.
Facing two waves of charging wild bulls, Lian Yun raised his hand, and atop the Wutai Sword, a massive Soul Sword, covered in cracks, materialized.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that it was a Greatsword composed of ten thousand Soul Swords.
With a single slash followed by a sweeping motion, he annihilated all the wild bulls.
Yet, Lian Yun was still not entirely satisfied.
He realized that due to the influence of Yin Yang City and the Earth Formation, his Soul Sword could not stray too far from him.
Previously, both the Soul Sword and the Spiritual Energy Greatsword could be controlled within a kilometer radius without any issues due to their size.
But now, the gigantic Soul Sword formed by the Ten Thousand Sword Technique exceeded a kilometer in length; if the hilt moved beyond that distance, the tip would extend two kilometers away.
Although it could still be controlled due to its composition, if the hilt crossed the kilometer mark, this enormous Soul Sword would collapse and scatter.
