Chapter 367: Chapter 363: Sword Spirit Merges with the Heaven-Burying Sword, Destroying Heaven and Earth

Dongfang Baiyu looked at the Heaven-Burying Sword in Xia Feng’s hand, his eyes filled with jealousy to the point of bleeding.

The Sword Spirit seemed conflicted, glancing at Xia Feng and then at the Heaven-Burying Sword, its expression somewhat reluctant.

"Forget it, forget it, the other one turned out to be useless, better you, this fickle ghost."

"Alright, it’s only twenty days anyway."

As it spoke, its form transformed into a stream of Sword Qi, merging into the Heaven-Burying Sword.

Beside them, Dongfang Baiyu shouted, teeth gritting in rage: "No, no, that’s my Sword Spirit!"

As he shouted, he charged at Xia Feng, raising his longsword as if trying to forcibly snatch the Sword Spirit from Xia Feng.

Xia Feng and the Sword Spirit simultaneously gave a cold snort, and a surge of Sword Qi erupted from the Heaven-Burying Sword, just like the one seen outside before.

Dongfang Baiyu wasn’t just on the verge of bleeding from his eyes; his heart was bleeding now.

The Secret Treasure doesn’t require refining; it can be used as long as it’s merged.

And the now surging Heaven-Burying Sword clearly represented that the Secret Treasure had completely merged into it.

Unless he could destroy the Heaven-Burying Sword with the Sword Spirit and liberate it, his only option was to wait for the Sword Spirit to detach when the Infinite Secret Realm closed.

Damn it, neither option was desirable for him.

The Heaven-Burying Sword was an Ancient Divine Artifact; even without the Sword Spirit, it was powerful enough to fight against a hundred.

Now, with the Sword Spirit, its power was unimaginable, and Dongfang Baiyu had no chance of liberating it.

As for the second option, when the Infinite Secret Realm closes, he’ll have to leave as well; even if the Sword Spirit detaches, he won’t be able to capture it again...

His expression turned ferocious in an instant, swinging his sword at Xia Feng’s Heaven-Burying Sword: "Damn it! You damn thief! I’m going to kill you!"

Xia Feng instinctively raised his sword to block, and the Sword Spirit, sensing his intent, sent a surge of Invisible Sword Qi directly into Dongfang Baiyu’s longsword.

With the collision, that Invisible Sword Qi swiftly destroyed Dongfang Baiyu’s longsword, breaking it in half after just a few breaths.

This sword was Dongfang Baiyu’s Lifebound Divine Artifact, breaking it turned his face pale instantly, and he coughed up blood.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, and when the other members of the Four Great Clans arrived, they saw Xia Feng holding the Heaven-Burying Sword while Dongfang Baiyu looked defeated.

Members of the Three Clans hesitated and stood still.

Even though they wanted the Ancient Divine Artifact, they weighed their own abilities.

Previously, they couldn’t hold Xia Feng back, and the situation now seemed delicate.

For the moment, everyone stood in a stalemate.

Xia Feng squinted his eyes, scanning the space around him, seemingly searching for a way to break the deadlock.

Meanwhile, those opposite him kept a close watch on Xia Feng, evidently afraid he might suddenly escape.

At this moment, the underground mountains started to shake more violently than during the Secret Treasure’s emergence.

Rocks fell from the mountains, prompting everyone to use Divine Power to shield themselves from the falling debris.

Xia Feng softly asked the Sword Spirit with a hint of doubt: "Is there another Secret Treasure?"

The Sword Spirit’s childish voice replied: "Wishful thinking!"

"A Secret Treasure with Spiritual Wisdom has its pride, most have a territorial consciousness and wouldn’t gather with others."

"This is likely because you dug out too much of the Divine Vein; half the mountain has collapsed from your digging."

Xia Feng’s face remained unchanged upon hearing this; if time and energy permitted, he would have wanted to dig out the rest of it.

The stagnant Void around them was gradually returning to normal, and even Xia Feng could harness some of the Spirit Light Flying Boat’s power.

However, the area was too cluttered with debris, and the constant disturbance from the Divine Crystal made him wary of leaving directly, fearing he might lose his way in the Void.

Yet, with a swing of his sword, Sword Qi spread out and sliced through the mountain, breaking free from the oppressive cave.

The remaining people exchanged complex glances before quickly following through the gap he had created.

Members of the Four Great Clans quickly assembled, blocking Xia Feng’s path for departure.

The surrounding smaller clans and Loose Cultivators looked confused but did not leave, staying to watch the scene unfold.

They hoped for a chance to pick up scraps, casting greedy glances at Xia Feng, quickly averting their gaze as if afraid of being noticed.

Xia Feng seemed indifferent, twirling a sword flower with the Heaven-Burying Sword: "Are you looking for another beating?"

No one spoke; the only one with a vendetta against Xia Feng, Dongfang Baiyu, had just been beaten into spitting blood and hadn’t recovered yet.

Even with the Healing Medicine fed to him, the pain of his broken Lifebound Divine Artifact wouldn’t be alleviated anytime soon.

Ximen Qing hesitated, then cautiously spoke: "Kid, the Ancient Divine Artifact is not something a loose cultivator like you can handle. While we don’t know your background, you wouldn’t want to know the fate of opposing the Four Great Clans."

Xia Feng’s eyes sharpened as he squinted, turning to face him: "Oh? So what if I oppose the Four Great Clans?"

"Was it I who provoked you at the gate earlier?"

"Did I attack you as we entered the Secret Realm?"

He looked around with a mocking smile: "What? Want to play both saint and sinner?"

"Now that you fear my strength, you plan to use your clan’s power to suppress me, hoping I’ll back down?"

"Ridiculous, I’ll tell you right now, I will not bow to you."

"If I bow today, I’ll never be able to stand again."

The Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand emitted a clear sound, and the Sword Spirit’s childlike voice chimed in: "Well said!"

"Initially, I was reluctant to choose you, but now it seems you have some grit, following you doesn’t seem like a bad option."

Xia Feng’s expression shifted as he realized the loose cultivators around him now viewed him differently.

Damn it, even though the Sword Spirit had acquired Spiritual Wisdom, it was clueless about the complexities of human nature.

The Ancient Divine Artifact in his possession was enough to stir greed, and with another Secret Treasure added, the loose cultivators likely wouldn’t remain idle.
