As the fifth strike followed closely, Wen Tian continued to uphold the Sword Wall, with no time to change tactics.
Fifth Sword, Cutting the Sky.
With a single stroke, the sword cleaved through the heavens above, as if piercing a hole in the sky itself. It shattered Wen Tian's Sword Wall and struck the wooden sword lodged in his leg.
Crack!
A crisp sound echoed through the sky, resonating in everyone's hearts. All gazed upward, unable to suppress their curiosity about the outcome of that battle.
Had he lost?
Had he truly lost?
Jiang Anbo and Lu Chen Zhou both voiced their disbelief simultaneously. Then, Lu Chen Zhou frantically retreated, clearly seeing that Zhu Xian Mountain's Soul Seven Star Sword had snapped in response. It seemed that Zhu Xian Mountain had already been defeated in that battle.
Amidst the sky torn apart by the Immortal-Slaying Sword, a gaze fell upon Wen Tian, fixated on the two swords floating before him: one an unremarkable wooden sword, and the other a dull and lifeless Soul Seven Star Sword.
The wooden sword was battered but still intact, while the Soul Seven Star Sword lay broken into two halves, stripped of its former Pseudo-Artifact glory. Such an outcome was beyond anyone's expectations.
Wen Tian, a mere mortal, had clashed with the immortal Zhu Xian Mountain and emerged victorious. Everyone knew that after this battle, another era would soon dawn.
Zhu Xian Mountain pointed at the hole in the sky and remarked that those who had lived for countless years had become hypocritical. Such Yuezi felt awkward to him; sometimes he thought about wiping them all out. However, Bu Luo and those old men would not allow it, so he let it go. As for Yue Ruo, he would not—
"No," Wen Tian interrupted Zhu Xian Mountain, shaking his head. "Ji Wuqiu is alive; I am Wen Tian as well. After Yin Tianheng, I will guard the Heavenly Gate. There will no longer be an Immortal Eastern Realm. I don't deny it; I do not seek to be tainted by the Dust Realm."
Even so, the bright moon ultimately did not favor him. If Yue Ruo had the chance, he would surely seek another battle, and at that time, he would confront me at Zhu Xian Mountain.
He stated that there were only two and a half people in the entire Dust Realm who could match him; I was not one of them.
It was uncertain, but the desire for slaughter could lead to the outcome of the Battle of the Three Realms.
I feared I might never see that day. Gu's voice suddenly echoed beside Zhu Xian Mountain, where the Liangyi Sword hung above his head. If Street Bridge City had Ji Wuqiu's gift, I would have already vanished from that realm. The word "proof" felt distant from me; I should give up.
Zhu Xian Mountain glared at the Liangyi Sword as it slowly descended toward him. No one expected Gu to break through at that moment, and it was clear that Gu had reached the Composite Realm. In the entire Dust Realm, only Dong remained who could contend with him; it was evident that Zhu Xian Mountain was in a precarious position.
"Put away your sword; tomorrow I will not kill anyone," Gu declared.
The Azure Yellow Worry-Free Sword blocked Gu's Liangyi Sword. After some time, Wei Wuyou reappeared on the battlefield. Though he lacked the overwhelming spiritual power, he exuded a powerful sense of oppression that ordinary cultivators found hard to possess.
Gu and Wei Wuyou nearly pressed their faces together, exchanging glances. Previously, Gu had given up on the idea of slaying Zhu Xian Mountain and returned to the Gray Wall with Wen Tian, watching as Wei Wuyou led Zhu Xian Mountain away.
"Soul Severing Seven Swords, Second Sword, Slay Demons." He dared not accept those two swords; he couldn't bring them forth. What if he couldn't handle Dong Lai? I wondered if I could manage it.
Now fearing I might not be able to do so, Bu Luo would eventually be able to Jie Donglai; I couldn't waste that opportunity again.
Wei Wuyou could no longer be called the Wuyou Emperor; perhaps he should be referred to as the Wuyou King now.
The two gazed at the sky where Wei Wuyou had vanished. Just moments ago, Gu Na had unleashed a sword strike with all his strength without holding back, yet it was effortlessly blocked by Wei Wuyou. How should one measure Wei Wuyou's strength?
With the defeat of Zhu Xian Mountain, the morale of the Nine Nether Alliance took a hit. They began to retreat, pulling back their front lines by another fifty miles. It seemed that the Gray Wall Defense Line would have a brief respite; the Nine Nether Alliance likely wouldn't seek opportunities to attack before winter set in. As the long cold winter approached, the war in the Northern Region could finally come to a pause.
By dawn, the soldiers at the Gray Wall Defense Line had already been engaged with the Nine Nether Alliance for seventy days. An ordinary soldier would have spent ten years on the battlefield, while Coco had lived her entire life amidst warfare. This conflict truly felt endless.
The Bululu Kingdom ultimately revealed vulnerabilities under the multi-pronged assault, and it seemed that safety had fallen into the hands of the Nine Nether Alliance. A significant number of cities in the Northern Region had succumbed to their control, forcing Lu State to retreat and establish a defensive line while continuing to clash with the Nine Nether Alliance.
On another front, Lu State's resistance against the Qin Empire showed no signs of effectiveness. It could be said that Lu State was gradually revealing signs of fatigue in this war; even the Eastern Legion began encroaching on Lu State's territory. Bright had one Chongming Guang and one Nangong Huan, and their high-end combat power was already beginning to show strain.
If Bright were to face two Mahayana Practitioners on the battlefield, who could crush a large contingent of the Eastern Legion with a single strike, it was uncertain whether Lu State could maintain its position against Yan Dong.
However, the emergence of Mahayana Practitioners among the soldiers directly struck at the fragile hearts of all parties involved. At that moment, a shadow loomed over the sky of Yingdu.
