Chapter 14779 The Death of Mount Sacred Heart
Inside the cave, Sheng Kushan's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly sheathed the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword, his body tense, and he warily looked out of the cave, his heart filled with fear...
This aura was far too powerful, far exceeding his imagination, and was something he simply couldn't contend with.
Boom!
A deafening roar erupted, instantly shattering not only the stone door of the cave but also overturning the entire cave ceiling with a tremendous force. Debris flew everywhere, and dust filled the air, completely destroying the previously hidden hiding place.
Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure in black slowly emerged, standing on an open ground not far away.
Enveloped in a black robe and surrounded by a mysterious black mist, his true appearance was obscured, but he exuded a chilling aura, like a messenger from hell.
Saint Kushan rose from the rubble, his clothes tattered, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, yet he maintained a composed demeanor, staring at the man in black, and said in a deep voice:
"Do you know that I am Elder Saint Kushan of the Silent Court? How dare you attack me? Aren't you afraid of offending the Silent Court?"
The man in black let out a cold, hoarse laugh, tinged with disdain:
"The Silent Court? You absconded with the treasure and betrayed the sect. You are no longer an elder of the Silent Court. Now you are nothing but a traitor whom everyone should kill. How dare you call yourself an elder?"
Saint Kushan frowned, his heart filled with doubt and fear: "How did you know that I absconded with the treasure? This matter only happened recently, it couldn't have spread so quickly!"
The man in black laughed, his laughter filled with sarcasm: "Everyone knows! Mount Shengku, if you know what's good for you, hand over the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword, and I might spare your life and give you a whole corpse; otherwise, today is your death day!"
Before he could finish speaking, Sheng Kushan abruptly turned around, refusing to waste any more words. His spiritual power surged wildly, transforming him into a streak of gray-robed light as he fled into the depths of the mountains…
He didn't dare to fight the man in black at all. He could feel that the gap between him and the man was too great, and that fighting would only lead to his death.
Moreover, he feared that the noise of the fight would attract more pursuers, making it even harder for him to escape. He only wanted to flee as quickly as possible and find a more secluded place to continue refining the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword.
However, he had only escaped a few feet away when an old figure suddenly appeared out of thin air, blocking his way like a ghost.
The figure was dressed in a simple gray robe, with white hair and beard, and an ordinary face. He looked like an ordinary old man, and from his appearance alone, one could not tell that he was a top expert.
Saint Kushan froze, opening his mouth as if to invoke the name of the Silent Court or beg for mercy, but the gray-robed elder gave him no chance at all, slightly flipping his right hand and pressing it down towards Saint Kushan.
boom……!!!
With a deafening roar, the void surrounding Mount Shengku shattered instantly, and countless jagged spatial rifts spread out, the immense spatial power instantly engulfing his body.
Before Sheng Kushan could even scream, his soul was completely torn apart by the power of space. Even a trace of his remnant soul and a trace of his life were eliminated. He was instantly killed in one blow, his soul and body destroyed!
Ling Xiao, hidden in the shadows within the concealed sacred rune array, watched all this silently, his heart filled with awe... He finally understood that the true master had finally revealed himself.
The martial artists who appeared before, including those from Holy Bitter Mountain, were all minor figures. The gray-robed elder who appeared now was the true top expert.
Ling Xiao realized at this moment that he had underestimated the significance of the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword in the hearts of the powerful beings outside the realm!
He originally thought that it would only attract some martial artists below the Returning to the True Realm, but he didn't expect that this time, it would directly attract a big shot at the Returning to the True Realm level, and it seems that this is just the beginning.
Ling Xiao's gaze was fixed on the gray-robed old man in the distance, his heart filled with vigilance... This old man's strength far exceeded his imagination, and even if he activated the power of the high-grade holy rune stone, he would still be no match for him.
The gray-robed old man slowly stretched out his hand, and a powerful suction force appeared in his palm. The Demon Lord Black Sky Sword in the Holy Bitter Mountain storage ring was instantly pulled by the suction force, slowly flying out and landing in his palm.
He lowered his head and stared at the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword in his hand, his fingertips gently tracing the blood-red patterns on the blade, muttering to himself:
"Such a divine object contains the Dao principles of the Demon Lord. How could a weakling like the Holy Bitter Mountain possess it? Only a true powerhouse is worthy of controlling it."
He then glanced at the man in black opposite him, his eyes indifferent and devoid of any extra emotion.
The man in black, sensing the oppressive aura emanating from the gray-robed elder, froze, daring not to make the slightest move. Without uttering a word, he silently turned and transformed into a streak of black light, swiftly departing...
He knew he was no match for the gray-robed old man, and staying would only lead to his death.
In the shadows, Ling Xiao anxiously asked in his heart, "Sister Xia Ming, what realm is this person? His strength is terrifying. He can kill Sheng Kushan with a flick of his wrist, and even space can be easily shattered."
Xia Ming's voice was somewhat solemn as he slowly said:
"His aura was restrained and he seemed ordinary, yet he could easily erase the divine soul of Mount Shengku and even remove the life imprint. To be able to do this, one must be at least a Returning to Truth Realm expert, and most likely at least at the mid-stage of the Returning to Truth Realm!"
Returning to the Realm of Innocence!
Ling Xiao stood silently, his heart heavy...
The experts at the Returning to Truth Realm were far stronger than him, far beyond his current combat power. He had originally thought that with the support of the Saint Runes and high-grade Saint Rune Stones, he would be able to protect himself, but he still appeared utterly helpless against the experts at the Returning to Truth Realm.
He understood that with the appearance of the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword, more and stronger powerhouses would inevitably emerge, making the situation outside the realm even more chaotic and his own situation even more dangerous.
Sure enough, not long after the man in black disappeared, an extremely powerful aura surged from the sky. The aura was comparable to that of the gray-robed old man, carrying a hint of arrogance and sharpness. It swept in like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire area.
The old man in the gray robe raised his head, looked up at the sky, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes, and slowly spoke, his tone indifferent but with a hint of apprehension: "Jiang Xingyun! You've come too."
"Jiang Xingyun! You've come too."
Before the gray-robed elder Jiang Muguang could finish speaking, a figure in white robes swept down from the sky like a startled swan.
With a light touch of his toes, he landed steadily not far in front of him, surrounded by a vast amount of holy rune power, exuding a majestic and awe-inspiring aura, carrying the murderous air of an enforcer.
The newcomer was none other than Jiang Xingyun, the elder of the Punishment Court of the Silent Annihilation Court... Within the Silent Annihilation Court, he was considered the third most important figure, holding the reins of the Punishment Court and wielding the power of life and death. He was ruthless and possessed exceptional combat prowess.
The Silent Court is divided into two branches: the Martial Court and the Punishment Court. The Martial Court is in charge of conquest, while the Punishment Court is in charge of punishment. Jiang Xingyun is the undisputed leader of the Punishment Court. Even when facing a True Realm expert like Jiang Muguang, he showed no fear and his aura was not weak at all.
