Chapter 478: Chapter 476: The Battle of Shenxiao Erupts

"Not good!"

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, they all straightened up and stared warily at the cave entrance as if facing a powerful enemy.

Though they’d expected to be discovered sooner or later, they hadn’t thought it would happen so soon.

Thinking of the outcome after being found, the despair on some Ten Thousand Swords Island disciples and Martial Artists’ faces turned into irrepressible terror.

Their fighting spirit was completely crushed!

Ning Wuyang and Jian Chuan stood together, their expressions heavier than ever before.

"Later, if it’s possible, I’ll try to buy you some chances." Jian Chuan sent a quiet transmission, his eyes fearless, clearly ready to face death.

Ning Wuyang took a deep breath, grasped the ancient sword tightly in his hand, and said nothing.

Yet within these few short breaths, similar voice transmissions sounded by his ear more than once.

After coming to Ten Thousand Swords Island, he’d suffered countless trials, but in the end was recognized for his Sword Dao through his own efforts.

At the same time, he’d broken through to True Monarch!

Becoming the number one prodigy of Ten Thousand Swords Island.

The process was full of twists and turns, but the final outcome was good.

Of course, there were also some special reasons.

But now, the situation was desperate!

Swish, swish, swish!!

One shadow after another shattered the constraints outside, appearing at the edge of the cave, coldly staring at the people within.

"Quite a lot of people."

"Ning Wuyang, Daqian Martial Artists, your Ten Thousand Swords Island shelters Daqian Martial Artists. You deserve destruction!"

The leading expert sneered coldly, murderous intent pervading, and gave a command: "Kill!"

"Fight them to the end!"

A mighty expert from Ten Thousand Swords Island erupted with resolve, his eyes filled with determination.

At that moment, Ning Wuyang shuddered all over and reached out suddenly.

A golden beetle crawled out from his sleeve, glimmering faintly with golden light.

Seeing this reaction, Ning Wuyang’s eyes opened wide: "Could it be..."

"What is that?"

Jian Chuan looked at the beetle, bewildered.

"It’s Xu Yang’s incarnation!"

"Seems Xu Yang is nearby," Ning Wuyang was almost overcome with joy!

Hearing this, Jian Chuan’s eyes opened even wider.

Xu Yang has come.

Does that mean... they’re saved?

If Xu Yang dared to come, he must be prepared! 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

He would never fight a battle he wasn’t sure of!

BOOM!

A thunderous roar suddenly came from outside.

Followed in quick succession by heart-wrenching screams.

"What’s happening?"

"Are there more Ten Thousand Swords Island people outside?"

The Martial Artists from the two invading islands all turned pale, shock written all over their faces.

In the blink of an eye.

The screams outside abruptly stopped!

This bizarre scene made everyone freeze, looking at one another in confusion.

The Ten Thousand Swords Island experts were all dumbfounded.

But in those eyes, a glimmer of hope began to appear amidst the despair.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, two figures slowly entered the cave.

"Quite a lot of people here."

Xu Yang looked inside, smiling as he spoke.

"Xu Yang."

Ning Wuyang cried out in delight.

"Burying Death Great Monarch, you..." The leaders of the two islands stared in disbelief at the black-robed elder following Xu Yang, as if seeing a ghost.

Burying Death Great Monarch grinned, suddenly flicking his sleeve.

Deathly energy instantly flooded the cave, yet it precisely avoided all Ten Thousand Swords Island people.

"Damn it!"

"Burying Death Great Monarch, are you mad? If you dare kill us, Guanglong Island and Three Gods Island will never let you go!"

"You dare offend Guanglong Island and Three Gods Island?"

"Shut your mouths!"

Burying Death Great Monarch barked coldly.

The voices of shock, anger, and fear instantly froze!

Then, those figures had no power to resist at all—enveloped by death energy, their bodies dissolved inch by inch.

In just a few breaths, all Martial Artists from Guanglong Island and Three Gods Island had turned to ashes.

The scene made the Ten Thousand Swords Island experts gulp as one, horror shining in their eyes!

The reputation of Burying Death Great Monarch was well-known across Star Dome Sea—few hadn’t heard the name.

But seeing it with one’s own eyes was a shock like no other!

"I’m sending you all into the treasure’s space. Don’t resist!" Xu Yang spoke in a deep voice.

Ning Wuyang hurriedly said, "This is the Xu Yang I’ve mentioned before—a direct royal bloodline of Daqian, once the Crown Prince!"

The leading expert’s eyes flashed as he decisively shouted, "No one resist!"

The next moment—

Xu Yang waved his sleeve.

All were collected into the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant.

Outside, only Ning Wuyang and Jian Chuan remained.

"We leave first!"

Xu Yang noticed Ning Wuyang’s breakthrough in cultivation, but had no time to say more. He waved them on and quickly headed out.

Ning Wuyang and Jian Chuan hurried to catch up.

Outside the cave, corpses everywhere.

All had fallen at Burying Death Great Monarch’s casual gesture.

"More people are coming."

Burying Death Great Monarch shook his head slightly, then swept his sleeve, sending Xu Yang and the other two out as a wisp of black smoke flashing into the wild forest, vanishing without a trace.

Soon, when Martial Artists from the two islands arrived and saw all the corpses, they drew a sharp breath, their faces changing drastically.

"Quick, go notify the Qingyuan Lord!"

...

Edge of Chongshan Island.

Space rippled faintly as a wisp of black smoke silently floated outward.

"Hmph!"

"Burying Death Great Monarch, you have some nerve!"

A cold snort descended from the sky.

BANG!

Space distorted, fierce waves spreading outward.

The edge of the island shook violently.

That black smoke froze abruptly, then with a bang, it blew apart, revealing Burying Death Great Monarch and the three with Xu Yang.

Burying Death Great Monarch sighed inwardly, Damn it, I knew Tier Eight pills wouldn’t be so easily earned!

He looked up.

The Qingyuan Great Monarch stood in midair, overlooking them with icy eyes.

"You dare meddle in my two islands’ affairs, Burying Death Great Monarch? Do you seek death?"

Burying Death Great Monarch’s face twitched, and he suddenly laughed angrily: "Brat, back when I made my name, you hadn’t even learned to suckle yet. You dare threaten me?"

"I am meddling—what can you do about it?"

Ning Wuyang’s heart trembled.

Although he’d not been in Star Dome Sea long, he still knew of this notorious Burying Death Great Monarch.

It was hard to imagine how Xu Yang had roped in such a powerhouse.

"Courting death!"

Qingyuan’s face turned grim and he vanished from midair in an instant.

Swish!

Burying Death Great Monarch swept his sleeve, immediately sending Xu Yang and the others outside the island.

He disappeared right after.

BOOM!

Chongshan Island quaked as if struck by thunder; mountains shook, stones tumbled, and colossal ancient trees shattered.

The island was engulfed in wild turmoil, spilling into the sea, as giant waves surged like dragons and serpents, rampaging madly.

"Such terrifying power."

Jian Chuan gazed at the sky, his heart full of lingering fear.

Just the residual force made him feel suffocated!

The Monarch of Divine Firmament—even top True Monarchs weren’t qualified to challenge him!

Xu Yang’s mind was in turmoil; even if he focused all his strength, he couldn’t see the forms of the two figures in combat.

"What do we do now?"

Ning Wuyang’s expression was grave.

"If Burying Death Great Monarch can hold him down, we must keep up and stick with Burying Death Great Monarch."

Hearing this, Ning Wuyang relaxed slightly and asked curiously, "How did you get him on your side?"

"Tier Eight pills!" Xu Yang replied with a smile.

"I see!"

Ning Wuyang instantly understood.

The allure of Tier Eight pills was strong enough.

"By the way, Ten Thousand Swords Island..." Ning Wuyang suddenly remembered something. His expression grew solemn as he looked at Xu Yang: "Is there any way you can intervene to help?"

Xu Yang smiled wryly: "Having only Burying Death Great Monarch is far from enough!"

He wanted to of course!

But he truly lacked the power.

Ning Wuyang said, "Ten Thousand Swords Island’s Grand Elder carries a special artifact—one the first Daqian Emperor entrusted to Ten Thousand Swords Island before his death, passed down through the generations."

"That thing, as far as I know, if they meet a descendant of the Can Clan, will be handed over from Ten Thousand Swords Island."

"I don’t know exactly what it is. It’s not a supreme treasure, but it seems extremely unique!"

Xu Yang frowned deeply.

Given by the first Daqian Emperor?

And it’s very special... Even if it’s not a treasure that boosts fighting power, it’s surely something out of the ordinary!

If he could obtain it... "So it’s on the Grand Elder?"

"That’s right!"

Ning Wuyang smiled bitterly: "Grand Elders of every generation keep it with them!"

"Damn it!"
