Chapter 1217: First Profound, First Divine (1)

The sudden battle between numerous combatants created numerous explosions all around Nanyuan. In the blink of an eye, space started cracking as one black hole after another appeared in the sky.

"Martial Dragon Guard! Forward!"

Abruptly, a thousand soldiers roared at the same time.

"Die!"

"Swing your blade!"

"Swing your blade!"

"Swing your blade!"

Saber qi surged into the sky as the thousand soldiers surrounded a Sunmoon under the lead of a Cloudbreach.

"Swing your blade! Swing your blade!"

With a single palm strike, dozens of them were crushed into mincemeat. With a sweep of his leg, dozens more burst apart.

When the Cloudbreach died, a Skysoar took over and continued roaring, "Swing your blade!"

"Bugs."

The Sunmoon appeared completely indifferent. What could mere bugs do to him? In mere moments, almost half the soldiers had died. But the rest continued swinging their blades madly.

Blade of Xia.

The number one blade in existence.

One of the blades struck the arm of the Sunmoon. However, the recoil instantly caused the Skysoar wielding the blade to burst apart. That did not stop the others. They continued advancing dauntlessly.

Martial Dragon Guard of Xia, number one under the heavens. Blade of Xia, unstoppable and unrelenting. Blade after blade was swung, but the Sunmoons remained indifferent. How could a thousand regular soldiers kill a Sunmoon like him? What a joke.

Even the strongest bug would still remain a bug.

Nevertheless, these Skysoars were members of the Martial Dragon Guard. It wouldn't be so easy to kill them all. They swung their blade repeatedly, landing strike after strike on the Sunmoon. With their very blood, they painted the air red. Finally, only one soldier was left. With his blade in hand, he roared.

"Blade of Xia! Sharpest of blades!"

Rumble!

With that, the last of them died. But at that moment, the same arm of the Sunmoon that had been hacked repeatedly by the soldiers suddenly exploded. Suddenly, a Sunmoon from the Secret Regiment of the Martial Dragon Guard appeared like a specter and swung his blade. Tears could be seen in his eyes.

One thousand regular soldiers had attacked not to kill the Sunmoon. Rather, they had attacked just to tire and injure the Sunmoon. They had sacrificed all their lives just to open the Sunmoon up for an attack from the Sunmoon of the Secret Regiment. They only did this to help the Sunmoon on their side preserve more strength to deal with the other enemies.

With a thousand lives, they managed to destroy the arm of an enemy Sunmoon.

Was this worth it? The final soldier of the thousand man unit collapsed on the ground, a smile on his face. This was worth it.

The blade of Xia was unrelenting.

Such was the number one blade of the Myriad Realms.

The expression of the enemy Sunmoon changed drastically upon noticing the incoming attack by a hidden enemy. But the explosion of his arm delayed his reaction. As a result, he was cut into two before he could do anything.

His sea of willpower was cleaved apart as well.

Boom!

A moon dropped from the sky.

This was happening all over the battlefield.

One Martial Dragon Guard soldier after another sacrificed their lives just to create an opening for the Sunmoons in their side. An opening to swing the killing blade. Their sacrifices attracted even the gazes of the Pseudo Invincibles who were still waiting at the sidelines.

Blade of Xia.

Blade of Great Xia.

It was sharp indeed.

In a short period of time, thousands of Martial Dragon Guard soldiers died. This was an army with less than ten thousand soldiers. This was a massive loss for them. However, they showed no fear as they marched into the battlefield of Mountainseas and Sunmoons as mere Skysoars and Cloudbreaches.

Before anyone knew it, three Sunmoons had been killed in this manner.

"Blade of Xia! Sharpest of blades!"

In the sky, Marquis Xia roared madly as his aura started surging intensely.

His aura rippled out, his hair came loose, and with a blade in hand, his chubby body started slimming down into a muscular body.

"Since you wish to taste the blade of Xia, your wish shall be granted!"

"Sky! Sunder!"

The expression of the Pseudo Invincible who had been giving Marquis Xia a beating up until now changed rapidly.

As of that moment, Marquis Xia's blade had turned incomparably powerful.

Whoosh!

The sky was sundered.

Darkness shrouded the world. A speck of light split the darkness apart. That speck of light came from a blade.

"Ninth-stage Sunmoon!"

Someone exclaimed in alarm. Marquis Xia was actually a ninth-stage Sunmoon! After suppressing his own strength for so long, he had finally unleashed all his strength in desperation.

His opponent was none other than the divine Pseudo Invincible who had persuaded them to hand over the multiple character faction earlier.

The divine frowned and roared as someone with the exact appearance as him appeared beside him. That was his tri-life body. The two fused back into one before throwing a punch to meet the incoming blade.

A deafening explosion erupted as the two attacks clashed, followed by a rain of blood and flesh from the sky. That was the blood and flesh of the divine.

Upon meeting the blade, the expression of the divine changed yet again.

Something wasn't right...

Right at that moment, a second Marquis Xia appeared behind the divine.

Similarly, he swung his blade at the divine.

"This is the trump card you want to see so badly. Die!"

The soundwaves from his roar rippled out, bursting numerous eardrums and causing numerous people to bleed from their ears.

Boom!

𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Facing the descending blade, the divine hurriedly tore reality apart, revealing a tiny River of Time. The river flowed in reverse as the divine attempted to rewind time to a moment earlier. Alas, that was for naught.

With a hum, the blade cut the divine into pieces. Even the tiny River of Time was severed. Almost immediately after, a Pseudo Invincible with blood dripping out of his mouth appeared not far away. His aura dropped rapidly before ultimately settling at the level of a ninth-stage Sunmoon.

The previous body of the divine had been reduced into a pile of mincemeat under Marquis Xia's feet. His present body had been killed, leaving him with only a past body. Instead of staying to fight, the past body fled with panic on his face.

Marquis Xia was actually a Pseudo Invincible!

The two Marquis Xia fused into one. Then, he raised his blade before bringing it down yet again.

Someone else appeared in the path of the blade. With a palm strike, the descending blade was stopped. That was the eighth elder of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Behind the elder, an ape clad in golden armor appeared. The ape was also a Pseudo Invincible.

"What a surprise, Marquis Xia."

This was truly a surprise for the eighth elder. The Xia Family was actually hiding yet another Pseudo Invincible.

The divine Pseudo Invincible had nearly died in Marquis Xia's hands. He had survived, but without his present body, he had been reduced to a ninth-stage Sunmoon. Without any assistance, he would have been fully killed by Marquis Xia.

Marquis Xia coldly asked, "This blade you wish to see so much. Is it sharp enough?"

Not far away, the divine took a step back with a gloomy expression. According to their initial plan, the eighth elder was supposed to be the one dealing with Marquis Xia. But he had arrogantly believed that he could easily kill Marquis Xia. Ultimately, he had suffered gravely from his arrogance. He had nearly died.

The battle resumed with three of them fighting Marquis Xia at the same time. In the blink of an eye, the space around them shattered, leaving them to battle in the darkness of the void.

***

"So Xia Xiao'er is actually a Pseudo Invincible? The Xia Family...has indeed done a good job at hiding their strength."

Inside a building far away from Nanyuan, an indistinct figure was muttering to himself.

A Pseudo Invincible.

Xia Longwu was not the only Pseudo Invincible in the Xia Family. Xia Xiao'er was one as well. What a big surprise. It had only been about fifty years yet Xia Xiao'er had advanced from the Mental Tempering Stage to the Pseudo Invincible Realm. This could only mean that he was no less talented than Xia Longwu.

"Is this all?"

A Pseudo Invincible who had captured a past body instead of a future body. Was this the only trump card the Xia Family was hiding? Was this what they were relying on to deal with him?

Unlikely. There was no doubt that a Pseudo Invincible was strong, but this was far from enough to deal with an Invincible like him.

"No. There are more..."

Xia Xiao'er as a Pseudo Invincible was indeed surprising, but this was not enough. It might be more believable if Xia Xiao'er was someone with a powerful future body, but that wasn't the case either.

Suddenly, the eyes of the unknown Invincible flickered.

***

At the same time.

Someone had appeared out of nowhere in the sky above Nanyuan. Right after appearing, he slammed his hammer down at the divine who had just lost his present body.

"No..."

The divine was alarmed. How had this person appeared out of nowhere? Not even an Invincible could approach him completely undetected.

Rumble!

The divine wasn't given much time to think. The hammer landed, smashing his past body into pieces. His sea of willpower remained. Just as the sea of willpower was about to flee, the space around it solidified and crushed it. Only then did the others notice the newcomer, an otherworldly man with fluttering white hair.

"Niu Baidao!"

Numerous people exclaimed in surprise. Wasn't Niu Baidao supposed to be in the Allheaven Battlefield?

Ignoring everyone's surprise, Niu Baidao strode toward the carrier treasure that had fallen out of the destroyed past body. With a falling moon as a backdrop, he picked the carrier treasure up. Just like that, a Pseudo Invincible had been killed.

Not far away, Hu Xiansheng cursed, "Fuck! It broke!"

His Teleportation Door had been broken. Yes. He was the one who had transported Niu Baidao over from far away. The price of that was the destruction of the damaged Teleportation Door he had forced Su Yu to pay for previously.

"Old Niu, you need to pay me a carrier treasure as compensation."

Hu Xiansheng was feeling greatly envious.

A carrier treasure!

Niu Baidao glanced at Hu Xiansheng and said nothing. But the meaning from the look in his eyes was clear. That was not going to happen. This was his kill. The spoil was his.

As for the Teleportation Door, it was the same damaged door Su Yu had paid for. This wouldn't even be that big of a loss to Hu Xiansheng. As the door started cracking while emitting intense spatial undulations, Hu Xiansheng casually tossed it toward a nearly early-stage Sunmoon. Then, the door exploded and instantly tore the Sunmoon apart.

Pieces of flesh flew everywhere.

Noticing the numerous gazes landing on him, Hu Xiansheng shouted in alarm, "Don't look at me! It was Old Niu, not me!"

Why were they looking at him? He was only an early-stage Sunmoon.

"He's also from the multiple character faction..."

With a snort, a late-stage Sunmoon shot toward Hu Xiansheng.

"Fuck!"
