Chapter 1401: Chapter 15: Earth Abyss (Part 2)

They truly resemble puppets forged by cultivators.

Those filthy spirits on Great Ape Mountain, all encountered techniques similar to "seize," akin to what occurred to the scouts at Jiayong Pass. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

This ocean of people.

Cannot be caused by "seize."

"Could it really be that someone is using puppetry techniques to refine these filthy things?"

Xie Xuanyi slightly frowned.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he extended two fingers, placing them at the center of his forehead.

Rumble!

Thunderous sounds erupted, and the heaven and earth changed color!

The originally dark and black dome suddenly had a blazing light tearing through, revealing large patches of dawn-like brightness. Without wasting words, Xie Xuanyi directly opened the Sword Qi Cave Heaven, and an entire Life and Death Dao Domain unabashedly spread out above the [Ruins].

Not far away, Ao Ying looked up, her expression showing shock as she gazed at this spectacular scene. Her Heart Lake trembled like a pounding drum; she had never seen such a soul-stirring scene.

The heavenly peak spanning dozens of miles was covered in sword qi...

This was a Dao Domain that even the Great Divine Ability User, Master Ni Yu of the Yang God Realm, feared with dread, with countless sword qi condensed like swimming fish.

[Ruins] is the harshest territory under the sky; any cultivator wishing to display divine skills must consume vast amounts of primordial energy.

This place is barren to the extreme.

Cultivators cannot communicate with the heavens and earth to replenish their primordial energy.

Thus... the higher the realm, the grander the divine skills displayed, the greater the price that must be paid!

But Xie Xuanyi is an exception.

He is the sole harmonizer in a thousand years, and what he condenses is not the [Primordial Lake], but the [Primordial Sea].

"Splash!"

Countless strands of golden sword qi gathered from the heavenly peak, following Xie Xuanyi’s heart thought, the sword tips turning.

These sword qi hovered like raindrops.

Not yet falling for execution.

In that snow desert, the filthy spirits scattered across the mountains and plains sensed something, each raising their heads, their gaze fixed firmly on Xie Xuanyi. The time in this heaven and earth briefly froze for a moment, as if the creator had pressed the start button, countless filthy spirits rose from the ground, launching an all-out desperate attack on the black-clad young Sword Cultivator suspended in the sky. At that same moment, Xie Xuanyi unleashed sword thought, gazing impassively at the swarming shadows approaching him like "locusts".

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The piercingly sharp shattering collision sound echoed throughout heaven and earth.

"..."

Ao Ying knelt on the golden suspended sword qi, pressing her hands on the tip of the sword qi, her Heart Lake struck with such awe that she couldn’t say a single word, not even a letter.

The fierce wind howled, and heaven and earth ushered in an unprecedented slaughter.

Tens of thousands of strands of sword qi fell from the heavenly peak.

Torrential rain.

Killing intent also poured down.

Xie Xuanyi stood with hands behind his back, his large sleeves lifted high by the fierce wind, yet the cold indifferent killing intent in his eyes could not be concealed. Without any action, without any words, from beginning to end he merely gazed coldly at those filthy living beings launching attacks at the heavenly peak.

After harmonization.

The two strands of life and death Taoist intent can transform into each other.

Destruction into rebirth, rebirth into destruction.

Dao Shengyi, one becomes two.

These filthy living beings are difficult to kill, but Xie Xuanyi’s "Path of Destruction" happens to form a perfect restraint.

The fierce wind roared.

A tremendous sandstorm faintly gathered, accompanied by the filthy spirits charging over the mountains and plains, the high piled sand mountains gradually shattered, revealing the truth, within [Ruins] there were piles of bone and gravel everywhere, and this enormous sand mountain was the same... observing on the side, Ao Ying suddenly understood something, these filthy things appeared rigid like stakes because they had died many years ago.

Perhaps they were travelers who trekked here a century ago.

Perhaps they were cultivators who suffered disaster a thousand years ago.

Or perhaps they were iron cavalry following the king to battle and fight.

But...

Regardless of what identity they had in the past, it is no longer important.

The sword qi tore their shells apart, without even a splash of warm blood.

They had died long ago.

These ancient deceased, bones piled into mountains, corroded by filthy will, only then became this form.

In other words.

What Xie Xuanyi was combating... was the millennia-old "corpse tide".

At this moment, Ao Ying felt a sudden panic and fear.

The abnormality she saw earlier at the Great Array was merely the "tip of the iceberg," compared to this true sand mountain. At that time, the "shadows looming" were truly insignificant.

Accompanied by the sword qi slaughter.

The sand mountain became increasingly fragmented, increasingly shorter, eventually gradually flattened, almost the same height as the desert.

Watching this scene.

Ao Ying felt a surreal sense of relief.

She was relieved she hadn’t made the wrong decision.

Apparently, these filthy spirits, Xie Xuanyi alone... could truly kill them all!

Even though locusts are numerous, there will be an end eventually...

Xie Xuanyi’s sword intent seemed infinite.

About an hour later.

The dark hues between heaven and earth gradually dissipated, the offensive of the golden sword qi remained as fierce as ever, but those "filthy spirits" clearly couldn’t hold on any longer, among them, some even tried to flee, no longer aiming to annihilate Xie Xuanyi, but trying to escape the Dao Domain amidst the chaos to save their lives.

However, despite the vast scope of this Dao Domain, every whisper of wind and grass, every subtle noise, couldn’t escape Xie Xuanyi’s divine thought sensing.

Xie Xuanyi maintained absolute control over this realm.

Not running means death; running... also means death!

The golden sword qi intertwined and danced, and under the suppression of the Life and Death Dao Domain, tens of thousands of filthy spirits were completely slaughtered.

These filthy things hidden deep at the center of the Ruins were actually quite fearsome, their destructiveness could not be underestimated. If any other great divine ability user had descended today, even someone as astonishingly talented as Cui Zhen, they would have struggled greatly.

On one hand, these filthy spirits possessed extremely strong vitality, incredibly hard to kill.

On the other hand, they were numerous.

Killing them, they resurrect, the more killed, the more there are.

An ordinary Yang God cannot handle them...

And this many filthy spirits, once released to the outside world, could quickly topple a city, and might even strike a significant blow to an entire dynasty!

According to Jiayong Pass’s intel.

These filthy consciousnesses could also be transmitted to living beings, spreading rapidly through certain methods!

"Finally... all cleaned up."

Ao Ying let out a long sigh of relief.

Although the whole process was a one-sided massacre, she truly felt anxious for Xie Xuanyi, Ao Ying was very aware of the scale of primordial energy and divine thought required to control such a grand sword domain.

This battle seemed to lack suspense, but in reality, its danger was no less than a deadly fight against the Yang God Realm.

These filthy spirits initially fought to the death, later attempted to flee...

No matter what action they took, they would be slain by the sword qi.

Ultimately, not one survived!

This meant Xie Xuanyi controlled every strand of sword qi in the sword domain.

Is this the power of a Harmonizer?

No wonder even the Sun Eater Venerable was cut down by her sword.

In this hour.

Ao Ying had come to understand many things.

Not to mention that now she is only in the Eleventh Realm of Yin God, even if she stepped into the Yang God Realm, there would be not the slightest chance of escaping from Xie Xuanyi’s grasp... she was already completely convinced from her inner heart, Xie Xuanyi was the strongest sword cultivator she had ever seen in her life.

Without exception.

Though she was a cultivator of the Demon Country, she knew deep down.

It wouldn’t take long, perhaps ten years, maybe five, or even less.

Xie Xuanyi would surely surpass the Great Palace Master, the Holy Emperor...

This was an invincible presence much stronger and more terrifying than Zhao Chunyang, destined to go down in history, destined to be remembered by everyone.

With that being the case.

What reason did she have to run away?

Ao Ying planned to cultivate to the late stage of Yin God in this Demon Country, and then find a truly reliable supporter.

Now the situation was already very clear.

Xie Xuanyi... was the most reliable and powerful supporter.

"All cleaned up? I don’t think so."

Xie Xuanyi suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this.

Ao Ying’s heart lake grew tense again.

She followed Xie Xuanyi’s gaze.

Countless sword qi dissipated, heaven and earth returned to clarity.

Whirling sandstorms swept across, and the sand mountain that had been leveled and erased was now sinking.

Tens of thousands of sand flowed and whirled.

The central area of the sand mountain discreetly formed a vortex.

After the extermination of tens of thousands of filthy spirits.

This sand mountain revealed its true face... underneath, lay an Earth Abyss.
