Facing the questioning from the Tenth Tier deity of the Shen Family, that ’Wang Tai’ sighed softly, his voice full of lament: "If we don’t go with the flow, our Wang Family would also face extinction in Jinling City. The momentum is such, what can we do? Don’t blame me; if you’re to blame anyone, blame the Shen Family for being too domineering in the past. Controlling seventy percent of the world’s Water Fortune, leaving no way for others to survive, thinking about hogging everything every day. How could the heroes of the world tolerate that?"
Wang Tai’s voice was filled with helplessness. Now that the Yellow Heaven Dao is powerful, the major families of Jinling City have to either choose submission or accompany the Shen Family to the grave. If it were you, how would you choose?
As for joining forces with the Shen Family to resist the Yellow Heaven Dao?
Do you really think that the Twelfth Tier Great Virtuous Master is just for show? Besides, this also involves the White Lotus Sect’s Flood Banner. How could the Flood Banner allow anyone to ruin its plans when it wants to seize the Water Fortune of the Shen Family?
"Kill!" At this moment, Liu Ji stretched out his hand, holding the ’Immortal Slaying Sword’ and soaring into the sky with the long sword out of its scabbard.
As the Immortal Slaying Sword emerged from its scabbard, a chilling aura of slaughter swept across the entire Heaven and Earth. An indescribable terror surged onto the minds of all beings in Jinling City.
From the mighty ones like Hu Li the Immortal to ordinary folk, all seemed to feel a sense of overwhelming and unspeakable dread. This sinister aura ignored the boundaries of time and space, reflecting in the hearts of all living beings.
The hairs on Hu Li the Immortal stood on end as he looked at the Shen Family battlefield with horror: "Yellow Heaven Dao has such a terrifying weapon of mass slaughter?"
The Tenth Tier deities of the five major families in Jinling City were also horrified, their faces filled with fear as they looked at the unsheathed Treasure Sword. The sword gleamed coldly, turning into a beam of light, and as people’s gazes followed it, their eyes stung painfully. The terrifying killing intent spread along its path, annihilating everything, and infiltrating their Essence, Qi, and Spirit, causing them all to waver.
"What terrifying sword light! What a dreadful sword! If I were struck by this Treasure Sword, I’d surely die!" Tushan Qing stood beside Zhang Chen, his voice filled with trepidation, his legs going weak with fear.
Zhang Chen’s eyes were locked on the sword light, and hearing Tushan Qing’s words, he shook his head with indifference, secretly thinking: "That’s the Immortal Slaying Sword! Even if it’s just a fragment of the sword tip, it’s more than enough to slay a Tenth Tier deity."
The sword light shone brilliantly, even dimming the stars in the sky. The light of the deities was like fireflies. With the unsheathing of this one sword, it became the sole center of Heaven and Earth.
Many screamed in the shadows, blood tears flowing from their eyes, then collapsed unconscious to the ground.
The Immortal Slaying Sword is the embodiment of the Law of slaughter, and ordinary beings who meet its gaze would have their Essence, Qi, and Spirit obliterated by the terrifying killing intent, or their soul severely wounded.
At this time, Tushan Qing let out a scream, spat a mouthful of blood, and shut his eyes tightly in dread.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Liu Ji, holding the Immortal Slaying Sword, thrust it towards the Tenth Tier deity of the Shen Family. The Shen Family’s Tenth Tier deity sensed the crisis and tried to summon Divine Power in defense, but he was restrained by five Tenth Tier deities and was trapped, unable to evade. He could only watch helplessly as the Immortal Slaying Sword pierced into his body.
Fortunately, during the emergence of the Immortal Slaying Sword, it shook the souls of the five deities, creating flaws in the restraints on the Shen Family’s Tenth Tier deity. He slapped out with his hand, accompanied by a vast blue light, sending Liu Ji tumbling into the darkness, life or death unknown.
The Shen Family’s Tenth Tier deity took advantage of the opportunity to break free from the restraints, escaping ten miles away, then steadied himself and looked down at the sword lodged in his chest, a hint of despair in his eyes: "What a powerful sword!"
Feeling the sword destroying his body and annihilating his soul, constantly wearing away his Divine Power and Bloodline Power, the Shen Family’s Tenth Tier deity knew in his heart that death was certain.
But at least he wouldn’t die immediately!
"I can’t die in vain. Even if I die, I must eliminate great enemies for the Shen Family and strive for a chance of survival for the living!" The Shen Family’s Tenth Tier deity turned his gaze to the five deities, then grasped the hilt of the Immortal Slaying Sword, pulling it out forcibly, transforming into a divine light, and charged towards Wang Tai: "Despicable scoundrel, I want you dead! I want you to die without a burial place!"
"Block him! Be wary of his final counterattack!" Wang Tai saw the Shen Family’s Tenth Tier deity locking onto him, a trace of horror in his eyes. The difference between a Tenth Tier deity who had condensed a Divine Body and one who hadn’t formed a Divine Body was immense.
The chasm between them was like a comparison between a technological creation that applied the laws of physics in practical development and a virtual object still in theoretical conception.
This was also the direct reason why the five deities attacked the Shen Family: Power of Faith.
Without the Power of Faith, a deity cannot condense an indestructible Divine Body, nor can it truly apply theoretical formulas in practice. No one could ever step into the true Tenth Tier.
The Shen Family monopolized all the Incense, who else should die if not them?
Resources are limited, and if the deities of the Shen Family don’t die, the path for everyone else is blocked.
The only choices left were: First, stay in Jinling City, enduring humiliation to survive. Second, leave Jinling City, seek a new barren land of Incense, then establish Incense Faith to make a breakthrough.
But having cultivated Jinling for many generations, how could they leave so easily?
Moreover, now everyone recognizes the importance of incense faith, all places with abundant incense have already been occupied, where would there be new barren lands for one to occupy?
Want to go out to fight for incense? The spoils are less, bullying those lesser divine spirits is useless, and you can only snatch from tenth-tier divine spirits at the same level. Are tenth-tier divine spirits easy to bully? They originally have their own territories and ample incense, surely they have already condensed a divine body. Also, each major force is layered, small forces depend on big forces, and if you bully a small force, the big force behind it will not tolerate it. At that time, they will certainly step in to protect, even to ignite stronger conflicts.
So, after calculating over and over, it’s better to stay in the familiar Jinling City, where we can unite to seek new opportunities.
Moreover, it also involves driving the wolf away by summoning Hu Li the Immortal to slay the Shen Family, then everyone divides the Shen Family’s territory—it would be beneficial for everyone, but now so many issues have arisen,
"Kill!!!"
The tenth-tier divine spirit of the Shen Family was shrouded in divine light, accompanied by a layer of water vapor.
"Nine Nether Poison Water!" Zhang Chen looked at the water vapor surrounding the Shen Family divine spirit, a glimmer of shock in his eyes.
That is the poison water from the deepest part of the Nine Nether, one drop can poison millions of beings. Although it’s not innate divine water, it is exotic water possessing unbelievable power, and its lethality wouldn’t fall short of innate divine water.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The Shen Family divine spirit wielded the Immortal Slaying Sword, completely disregarding the sword’s backlash, a hint of madness in their eyes, letting the sword qi destroy their own body just to take Wang Tai down with them.
"This old guy is going all out, everyone be careful!" At this moment, someone sensed the danger, started retreating rapidly to avoid the divine spirit’s final counterattack.
"Save me! Save me!" Wang Tai cried out in distress in the night sky, wanting to escape but was chased and overtaken by the tenth-tier divine spirit of the Shen Family, the Immortal Slaying Sword swinging towards Wang Tai.
Unfortunately, when faced with Wang Tai’s plea for help, the other four tenth-tier divine spirits were already scared witless, afraid of being pulled by the Shen Family’s tenth-tier divine spirit to be buried with them, thus they all retreated to keep their distance.
Wang Tai could only brace himself to confront the attack, but who knew after thirty breaths of time, along with Wang Tai’s scream of agony, he was split open by the Immortal Slaying Sword, his soul scattered, dead without a burial place.
"A tenth-tier divine spirit just died like that! What is the origin of that sword, why is it so powerful?" Tushan Qing was stunned at this scene, a trace of horror in his eyes, he was truly frightened to the core.
One must know that even though it was a tenth-tier divine spirit that had not condensed a divine body, it still reached the tenth-tier realm, mastering tenth-tier laws, how could it be so fragile?
Zhang Chen ignored Tushan Qing’s words, and in the next moment, activated his escape technique, heading towards where Wang Tai was.
He wanted to accumulate points, he had to seize the moment while the iron was hot, otherwise when the battle ends, where would he get the chance to fish in troubled waters?
"Where are you going?" Tushan Qing shouted at Zhang Chen’s back, but unfortunately received no response from Zhang Chen.
"Kill!" The tenth-tier divine spirit of the Shen Family wielded the Immortal Slaying Sword, continuing to pursue the other four tenth-tier divine spirits, scaring them into fleeing in all directions in the night sky, avoiding being counterattacked by the Shen Family’s tenth-tier divine spirit, fearing being dragged to the grave.
As for the tenth-tier divine spirits’ bodies on the ground, everyone’s eyes were already red with killing, where would they have the time to collect the corpses?
"Ancestor!"
A member of the Wang Family was fighting the Shen Family’s collateral branches on the ground, seeing their ancestor fallen, uttering a sorrowful cry, their eyes filled with pain.
The Wang Family, without a tenth-tier divine spirit holding the fort, their fate would surely be tragic, only waiting to be divided. The other four families would not mind dividing the Wang Family after splitting the Shen Family.
A member of the Wang Family uttered a cry of grief, trying to retrieve their ancestor’s body, but they were entangled by the Shen Family members, unable to extricate themselves for the moment.
With Wang Tai’s tragic death, the Wang Family members’ hearts were in turmoil, unexpectedly giving the Shen Family the chance to kill them back step by step, allowing the Shen Family a brief respite.
The battlefield was chaotic, divine lights flickering constantly, terrifying divine power waves destroying structures one after another, the ground cracking, houses flattened. Ninth-tier divine spirits intervened to resist, ripping the ground apart continuously, causing Jinling City to tremble like a small boat in stormy seas, ready to capsize at any time.
