Sifala stared at his body in shock. A Five-Colored Profound Light was radiating from the very places the Five-Colored Sword Threads had sliced him.
"This! When did you plant this?!"
Yang Jing had no intention of explaining. ’Who knows if these Evil Gods have some secret way of communicating?’ he thought. ’It’s best to reveal as little about myself as possible in front of them.’
He had previously tested his various abilities and determined that his Nine Yang Body, Celestial Thunders Nine Techniques, and Swordsmanship weren’t particularly effective against these Evil Gods.
Even his usually infallible True Martial Demon-Vanquishing Divine Techniques had a limited effect.
According to the insights from his Grotto Dark Dharma Eye, these Evil Gods only appeared to have physical bodies. In reality, they were merely incarnations formed from Spiritual Qi and governed by Divine Power.
Destroying the incarnation wasn’t fatal.
The Evil God before him likely served the Black Heaven Dao and could transform its body into darkness, making it exceptionally difficult to handle.
With ordinary methods, one could only repeatedly destroy its incarnation, forcing it to expend Divine Power to reform until it was completely depleted. Only then could it be truly killed. A Primordial Spirit attack might be an effective counter, but it was far too dangerous and carried a high risk of backfiring.
Although, judging by Sifala’s reaction, restoring his incarnation consumed a significant amount of Divine Power, Yang Jing had no intention of using such a troublesome method.
’It’s a shame the Profound Pure Sect’s methods for slaying Evil Gods are Secret Techniques; otherwise, I wouldn’t have to go to all this trouble.’
Yang Jing sighed softly. The Profound Pure Sect excelled at various Divine Soul Secret Techniques and Rituals, such as setting up altars for ceremonies. When the Evil Gods of the Western Continent were dealt with years ago, the Profound Pure Sect had been the main force among the Seven Sects.
The next moment, the Five-Colored Flying Swords before him transformed directly into five Dragon-shaped Magical Swords.
Though Sifala didn’t know what the Five-Colored Profound Light on his body was, he refused to just wait for death. With a furious roar, a terrifying Divine Power erupted from him.
The Yellow Dragon Magical Sword dove into the ground, disappearing without a trace.
An instant later, a Yellow Dragon burst from the ground, soaring skyward. The Yellow Dragon Magical Sword was dozens of yards long. Despite being of the Earth Element, its scales and claws radiated a sharp aura painful to behold, in no way inferior to a top-tier Metal Element Flying Sword.
Sifala was stunned, never expecting the sword to attack from beneath the ground. He desperately raised his four arms to block the sharp-toothed, sharp-clawed Yellow Dragon.
Although the Yellow Dragon was formed from a Flying Sword, it fought like a True Dragon, embodying its very essence in the heat of battle.
Sifala only managed to parry the Yellow Dragon’s snapping jaws with his weapon before its body coiled tightly around his arms and torso. The sharpness of its scales and claws instantly riddled him with wounds.
An immense, crushing force bore down on him.
This Yellow Dragon Magical Sword possessed a strange sealing power that prevented him from easily making his body incorporeal to escape its grasp.
Just as Sifala tried to swing his weapon and shatter the incredibly troublesome Yellow Dragon Magical Sword, the even sharper white dragon descended from the sky. Earth begets Metal, Metal begets Water, Water begets Wood, and Wood begets Fire. The five Dragon-shaped Magical Swords struck one after another in sequence.
With the Five Elements generating one another, the five dragons cycled, and the five Magic Swords attacked Sifala relentlessly in a pattern resembling ’five dragons playing with a pearl,’ delivering world-ending strikes. Each blow was more powerful than the last.
For a moment, the only sounds in the world were the roars of the Dragon-shaped Magical Swords tearing through the air and the shattering of everything annihilated in their path.
The onlooking Cultivators broke out in a cold sweat as they witnessed the apocalyptic scene. Had they been in Sifala’s place, they would have been turned to paste in an instant, unable to withstand even a single strike.
An absurd thought even surfaced in Feng Sun’s mind.
’Could a Nascent Soul Cultivator withstand this terrifying Swordsmanship?’ He pondered for a moment and reached a frightening conclusion. ’At least, the Nascent Soul Cultivator my sister and I once joined forces against definitely couldn’t.’
’This technique, Five Dragons Destruction... the first few strikes were slightly weaker than my sister and me working together. But it quickly surpassed our power and could now overwhelm us. At this point, its might is far beyond what we could achieve together.’
’Our combined-attack technique can only be sustained for about fifteen minutes. Yet these terrifying Five Dragon Magical Swords show no sign of stopping at all.’
Sifala was powerless to resist. His body was trapped in a continuous cycle of destruction and regeneration, consuming his Divine Power at an astonishing rate.
Only now did he truly understand the meaning of despair.
He struggled with all his might, even unleashing the Authority he had yet to fully integrate. His body swelled to a massive size as he tried to use his bulk to slow the Five Dragon Magical Swords’ annihilation, hoping to buy himself a chance to escape.
But his struggles were futile. Like a merciless guillotine, the Five Dragon Magical Swords effortlessly pulverized his body.
A dozen breaths later, Yang Jing formed a Sword Mantra. The Five Dragon Magical Swords soared into the air, reverted to the Celestial Waterfall Sword, and returned to his side.
Where Sifala once stood, only a massive crater remained. The very rock and soil had been scoured by the Sword Qi and ground into an incredibly fine dust that settled at the bottom.
Yang Jing flew down into the crater. Sifala had been completely obliterated, leaving behind only three items. One was the object of the current struggle, the Nine Marvelous Creation Qi. The other two were strange-looking Treasure Pearls, one black and one red.
The Nine Marvelous Creation Qi was a product of the Tier Six Spiritual Treasure, the Nine Marvels Creation Tripod. Yet, these two Treasure Pearls felt to him to be on a similar level as the Nine Marvelous Creation Qi itself.
They were creations on the level of Divinity Transformation, at the very least.
After all, anything that could survive the relentless Sword Qi of Five Dragons Destruction unscathed was certainly no ordinary object.
After a moment’s thought, Yang Jing took out a Treasure Bottle he had previously refined and placed the two Treasure Pearls inside. He then formed a Spell, activating the Restriction on the bottle to seal it off from the outside world before placing the Treasure Bottle into his Storage Bag.
The value of these Treasure Pearls was perhaps no less than that of the Nine Marvelous Creation Qi.
After dealing with the Treasure Pearls, Yang Jing stored the Nine Marvelous Creation Qi within his Dantian.
Although the entire purpose of their expedition was to contend for the Nine Marvelous Creation Qi, none of the other Golden Core Cultivators dared to voice any objection when they saw him take it.
"These abominations are actually Evil Gods from the Outer Realm. They can be secretly implanted into a Cultivator’s mind through the Mingfei Joyful Method. Have any of you practiced this Evil Technique?"
Yang Jing’s gaze swept over everyone, not even sparing the women, Feng Yue and Zhou Aoshuang.
They all shook their heads vigorously, not daring to hesitate for a second, afraid that a moment’s delay would earn them a slash from Yang Jing’s sword.
Yang Jing scanned them with his Grotto Dark Dharma Eye but found nothing. He could only confirm that Feng Sun, Feng Yue, Shi Qingfeng, and Zhou Aoshuang—whose Primordial Yin and Primordial Yang were still intact—had likely not been infected by an Evil God.
He thought for a moment, then said:
"Brother Shi, I’ve set up a Grand Array not far from here. Even with their strange techniques, these Evil Gods shouldn’t be able to breach it for a while. Take the others and hide inside the Array for the time being. As for Feng Sun and Feng Yue, you two will come with me to slay the other Evil Gods in this Nine Marvels Small Realm."
