Chapter 96

Actually, the title of this chapter should be: "After beating the young, the old comes; after beating the elder, the sect master comes."

"That guy, that guy killed the Great Elder!"

"What should we do? He will kill us all."

"Don't panic, everyone. That guy merely used despicable means to harm the Great Elder. We have already formed a great formation. As long as we work together, we can definitely kill this demon here." I wonder if you dare to say this without retreating, you low-level trash at the initial stage of the Fifth Heart.

"Everyone, listen to my command. Gather all your magical power and activate the Five Elements Convergence." A high-stage Yuan婴 cultivator in the formation issued the order. This core disciple was highly respected among all the present disciples. The Luo Shen Sect disciples, who had fallen into panic, gradually regained their composure. The five directions of the formation once again accumulated spiritual energy. This time, there were over a hundred physical flying swords in the sky. These disciples combined all their refined flying swords with the formation, surrounding the five main swords.

The Thunderbolt Sword, the Crimson Flame Sword, the Gust Sword, the True Flow Sword, and the Thick Earth Sword expanded to a hundred meters in length. The five swords gathered the spiritual energy and flying swords of the Luo Shen Sect disciples, with the five elemental spiritual energies restraining and supporting each other, resonating and amplifying. Five beams of light shot out from the formation, aiming directly at Xunxin. After this attack, the Luo Shen Sect disciples were almost completely drained of energy, unable to even stand, and fell into the medicinal fields. The formation gathered the spiritual energy of the medicinal fields and over a hundred disciples, and with the amplification of the formation, the combined attack of the five main swords could pose a significant threat even to a Great Ascension cultivator. The Five Elements Killing Sword Formation was a well-known sword formation in this world, ranking among the most powerful formations in the cultivation world. Unfortunately, the enemy it faced this time was no longer a cultivator from the cultivation world, but an Infinite Apostle from the Infinite Heart.

The five main swords, along with over a hundred auxiliary swords, had not even managed to approach Xunxin when they seemed to be frozen in mid-air, almost completely still. Seeing this, the Luo Shen Sect disciples were almost in despair. The Five Elements Killing Sword Formation was notorious in this world, with records of even top Great Ascension cultivators falling to it. And now, the highly anticipated Five Elements Killing Sword Formation was completely ineffective against the man before them.

"Space—A Thousand Miles in an Inch." Xunxin slowly said the name of the technique that had frozen the formation's attack. Hearing Xunxin's words, the Luo Shen Sect disciples turned pale. The cultivation world was not without spatial techniques; teleportation arrays and spatial storage spaces were all great achievements of cultivators in the use of space. However, no cultivator had ever been able to manipulate space without the aid of materials, let alone use it as an attack. Space—A Thousand Miles in an Inch, from its name, it was easy to guess the principle: stretching the space within a region. The five main swords, locked at a distance of tens of thousands of miles, could only struggle in vain, unable to even touch the hem of Xunxin's clothes.

"Since you are so generous, I won't be polite. Yaoyue!" Xunxin's terrifying mental power poured out, like a tsunami washing over the flying swords. The principle of sword control was to refine the flying sword with blood, each flying sword being connected to its owner's mind, leaving a mental imprint to transmit spiritual energy and control. Xunxin unceremoniously kicked the mental imprints out of the flying swords and crushed them in the sea of mental power. The over a hundred Luo Shen Sect disciples spat blood simultaneously, like fountains of blood, leaving large red stains on their light green robes. With their mental imprints erased, these flying swords became ownerless. Xunxin, of course, would not miss such a good opportunity. The five main swords and over a hundred flying swords were taken into his private world. Seeing their many flying swords taken, the few remaining Yuan婴 disciples who could still stand fainted from shock.

"Xunxin, I think if you keep this up, the Luo Shen Sect disciples will all lose too much blood. We should finish things here quickly; after all, we still have a mission." Yaoyue, sensing that Xunxin was getting carried away, directly transmitted the message to Xunxin's mind. Xunxin also felt that bullying a bunch of cultivators below the Seventh Heart level was... well, let's not continue to damage Xunxin's already meager sense of righteousness. Xunxin prepared to erase the memories of these disciples and then, driven by the instinctive aversion of an Infinite Apostle to the Void Annihilators, head to the mission target. Suddenly, from the sky, hundreds of flames descended, blue-purple flames that even made Xunxin feel a slight heat.

"A specialty of the cultivation world—Aberrant Fire? But just this level..."

Xunxin swung his right fist at the approaching Aberrant Fire. The storm raised by the punch collided with the Aberrant Fire, extinguishing it and even creating a hole in the cloud layer that blocked the sun.

"How! How is this possible?! Just physical strength alone can extinguish the flames of the Southern Ming Fire Sword. What a terrifying physical body..."

Shocked by Xunxin's strength, an old man in white robes appeared in the air. A weapon that could hardly be called a sword floated beside him, with nearly a dozen purple rock-like spines growing on a long, thick, spindle-shaped stone. Overall, it was a stone sword with many stone spines. However, the purple Aberrant Fire swirling around the sword greatly enhanced its aesthetic value. Southern Ming Fire, which Xunxin had heard of in other worlds, was known for its immense power, ease of control, and particularly effective damage against mental bodies and demonic cultivators. It was not useful in alchemy or artifact refinement, being a purely offensive Aberrant Fire. Now, its immense power seemed questionable, as a single punch could extinguish it. Southern Ming Fire was truly embarrassing for Aberrant Fire. (╯－╰)

However, to be able to obtain such a rare Aberrant Fire, the old man before him was certainly not an unknown figure. At least from the fluctuations of spiritual energy, he was stronger than the previous Flame True Lord, with a high-stage Tribulation Transcender level. With the Southern Ming Fire Sword, he could hold his own against a Great Ascension cultivator for some time. After using spatial teleportation to take the magical treasures left on the ground, Xunxin looked at the old man with a slightly interested gaze and said:

"Who are you, Daoist friend?"

"I am the sect master of the Luo Shen Sect, Southern Ming Fire True Lord Fang Xiaotian. You have killed my disciples and the Great Elder of my sect. I..."

"Old man, stop talking nonsense. Are we fighting or letting you go? Don't waste time with these formalities."

"You! Fine, considering this conflict was due to a misunderstanding, I will temporarily let you go. Just hand over the woman behind you, and I will consider this matter never happened."

Xunxin: "Hehe, you've caused a big problem."

Fang Xiaotian: "?" Before the Southern Ming Fire True Lord could understand what was happening, his body bent into a bow and was punched away by Yaoyue like a cannonball.

"You old pervert, actually having designs on me."

"I think that cultivator was attracted to your abundant and solid Golden Qi. As a sword cultivator, he would drag you back to his cave and use dual cultivation techniques like Blissful Zen or use you as material to purify the impurities in his flying sword." Xunxin's voice grew lower, and then, like a volcanic eruption, his magic mixed with spiritual energy unleashed a storm that affected half the world. The earth trembled, the sky changed color, and the anger of a legendary immortal was no more than this.

"This old scoundrel, daring to have such filthy thoughts about my Yaoyue. I will beat this trash to death!" (Took you long enough (￣_￣|||))

At this moment, the Southern Ming Fire True Lord had just crawled out of the rubble, half-dead from Yaoyue's attack. Just as he was about to use an escape technique, dozens of long swords pierced through his body, pinning him to a wall formed by compressed space.

"What, what are you going to do!"

Xunxin absorbed the Southern Ming Fire Sword into his palm and casually erased the mental imprint on it. The mental shock was severe, and the Southern Ming Fire True Lord followed the path of his predecessors, a trickle of blood slowly flowing from his mouth.

"Since cultivators are quite resilient, so..."

"Thud!" Under the Southern Ming Fire True Lord's terrified and panicked expression, the Southern Ming Fire Sword mercilessly pierced his abdomen, the Southern Ming Fire burning his soul. He screamed, continuously screaming. Xunxin, as if not hearing, turned the Southern Ming Fire Sword with his right hand, the purple spines cutting into the Southern Ming Fire True Lord's flesh, and the blood, rich in spiritual energy, gushed out like it was free. Struggling desperately, the Southern Ming Fire True Lord tried to escape using his soul, but the swords in his body pinned his soul firmly, and even the flow of spiritual energy within his body was locked, making it impossible to use. The Southern Ming Fire used the Southern Ming Fire True Lord's soul as fuel, mercilessly roasting him. The fate awaiting the Southern Ming Fire True Lord was to have his soul and body reduced to ashes. If he hadn't provoked, he wouldn't have died. Unfortunately...

After easily dealing with the Southern Ming Fire True Lord, Xunxin and Yaoyue let out their anger. They did not harm the other Luo Shen Sect disciples, only modifying their memories. As for what would happen to the Luo Shen Sect after losing a Tribulation Transcender, that was up to their fate. Before leaving, Xunxin also looted the Luo Shen Sect, taking away eighty percent of the large quantities of medicinal herbs, pills, and magical treasures, along with a map of the world. The two opened a spatial passage and entered the city of Songyang, a city mainly inhabited by independent cultivators and ordinary people, without anyone noticing...

PS: The cultivation world chapter is a short story set to introduce some functions of the Infinite Heart. The next world, as previously mentioned to the readers, is the Ghost泣 world. However, it also contains many other elements, which I won't spoil here. In any case, please recommend, collect, and review the book.
