Chapter 799: The smell of treasures

One second earlier, he made up his mind and decided to regard this actor as his idol. One second later, that very same idol came over to attack their sect… this feeling was really strange. Even if he followed the dark path and had done a lot of bad things, Daoist Priest Weiwei felt as if someone was twisting a knife in his heart when he saw his idol coming over and attacking them.
But right at this time, in the sky, ‘Ling Ye’ had already started his attack!
Venerable White held that dazzling 400-meters-long golden sword made of sword qi high and suddenly tilted his head. “Right… Shuhang, Sixteen, how should I call this move?”
Behind Venerable White, Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen were protected by a defensive barrier as well as a formation that had turned them invisible.
After hearing Venerable White’s words, the duo was dumbfounded.
It seemed that Senior White wanted to use a big move!
However, he had yet to give a name to this big move… what to do now? They urgently needed an answer!
“Such being the case, how about calling it ‘Holy Sword’?” Song Shuhang said as he looked at the huge 400-meters-long sword. If he, too, could swing around such a huge golden sword one day, he wouldn’t have lived in vain!
“Holy Sword? It doesn’t sound that awe-inspiring… but whatever, let’s just use this name.” Venerable White nodded his head. Then, he made a grabbing motion with his hands and ‘grabbed’ the sword, slas.h.i.+ng down and shouting, “Holy… Sword!”
The 400-meters-long huge golden sword mercilessly slashed toward the defenses of this ancestral land belonging to the Limitless Demon Sect.
What a good feeling! As expected, one would find true happiness only after shouting the name of the move loudly!
❄️❄️❄️
“Boom~”
The huge sword crashed against the defenses of the ancestral land of the Limitless Demon Sect, creating layers upon layers of explosions. The golden sword qi churned, and the defensive layers of the Limitless Demon Sect shrunk continuously.
The golden sword qi ultimately dispersed…
“Crack, crack, crack~”
Cracks started to appear one after another in the defenses of the Limitless Demon Sect.
Daoist Priest Weiwei, who was in charge of managing the formations of that area, got a scare.
F*ck, Ling Ye isn’t the main character for nothing. A single one of his sword attacks turned out to be this powerful!
The powerful defenses of the ancestral land were now full of cracks… Ling Ye had at the very least the strength of the Sixth Stage True Monarch Realm… no, perhaps even that of the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm!
He was a very strong enemy!
Daoist Priest Weiwei moved his fingers at high speed, activating the spirit stones below the formations of the ancestral land. Countless spirit stones started to burn up, with their energy merging with the defensive formation and patching up the various cracks.
However, the formations were still recovering when Ling Ye started to acc.u.mulate energy again, preparing to launch his second attack.
Just as before, he raised his hands high and made a grabbing motion. The sword qi started to condense and finally formed a lifelike sharp sword. In the next moment, spiritual qi from all around turned into golden particles of light, rus.h.i.+ng over and merging with the sword.
But this time, the sword qi didn’t inflate and turn into a 400-meters-long huge sword. On the contrary, it was continuously compressed, turning from a two-meters-long sword into a half-meter-long short sword.
‘Ling Ye’ held the short sword high once again and took a deep breath.
“Shuhang, how should I call this move?” Venerable White asked again.
Again?
Senior White, what I use is the saber… aren’t you making things difficult for me if you keep asking me to pick names for sword techniques?
It was unclear when it happened, but Song Shuhang had finally accepted the fact that he was someone that ‘used the saber’.
He thought for a moment, and said, “How about ‘Mystic Sword’?”
“…” Venerable White turned his head around and looked at Su Clan’s Sixteen. “Little Sixteen, what do you think would be a good name for this move?”
“How about ‘Immortal Slaying Sword’? Su Clan’s Sixteen said.
“You guys, your naming sense is so bad,” Venerable White said with disdain.
After he had said this much, his mobile phone flew out of his pocket and automatically unlocked, with a web page suddenly opening.
It was the web page of a game, and what was shown in this page were the statistics of Venerable White’s in-game character. At the end of the page was a list of skills.
Song Shuhang immediately recognized the game Venerable White was playing. It was a second-rate mobile game made in China. It was precisely the type of mobile game that had rough characters but very cool technique names. In addition, the scenes of the characters displaying the moves were gorgeous.
However… all these cool technique names and gorgeous-looking moves were actually imported goods. The developers changed the spelling a little, as well as the colors, and implemented them in their mobile game.
Soon after, Venerable White took a step forward and shouted, “Excalibur: Sword of Promised Victory!”
“…” Su Clan’s Sixteen.
“…” Song Shuhang.
Senior White, don’t say it out loud! It feels strange if you shout such a name loudly, and there is that unspeakable sense of shame too…
At this time, Venerable White had already slashed down with the small sword in his hands—to be more precise, he directly threw it downward.
The half-meter-long small sword ruthlessly slammed into the defenses of the ancestral land, which were still full of cracks and had yet to recover.
Although the sword was small, one couldn’t underestimate its power! A lot of strength was compressed in its small body.
In fact, the energy within the small sword wasn’t inferior to that of ‘Holy Sword’, the 400-meters-long golden sword.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
After ‘Excalibur: Sword of Promised Victory’ rained down, the defenses of the ancestral land couldn’t hold anymore, and shattered as if they were gla.s.s. When it came to formations, Venerable White was among the very best in the Nine Provinces Number One Group, and his two sword attacks from before directly targeted the weakest points of the defensive formation of this ancestral land! Therefore, it took him only two sword attacks to easily breach their defenses.
❄️❄️❄️
“Bad news, the first defensive layer was broken through, the second defensive layer was compromised, and the third and fourth defensive layers were affected! The intruder, Ling Ye, is a cultivator of the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm! In addition, he’s someone that excels at formations. Each of his attacks from before targeted the weakest points of our defensive formation! Our defensive formation won’t last for long, quickly notify ‘Elder Lushan Street’ and make him come out of secluded meditation. Only he can fight against this intruder!” Daoist Priest Weiwei shouted.
Elder Lushan Street, whose daoist name was ‘Demon Monarch Lushan Street’, was a powerful figure of the Seventh Stage Venerable rank. After a careful look, one would notice that his daoist name was ‘Demon Monarch Lushan Street’, and not ‘Demon Monarch Lushan’.
Some of you might remember that Song Shuhang almost ended up with [Daoist Priest China, Zhejiang Province, Wenzhou City, Baijing Street] as his daoist name once. The daoist name of this Elder Lushan Street was of the same series.
Actually, his hometown wasn’t really in the Lushan District. It was just that he’d once lived in a place called ‘Lushan Street’. As such, he decided to call himself ‘Demon Monarch Lushan Street’.
Later, when he’d advanced to the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm, he had once thought of changing his name into a cooler one… but, unfortunately for him, it was no longer possible. When all the cultivators in the world already called him ‘Demon Monarch Lushan Street’, it was pointless to change his daoist name.
Demon Monarch Lushan Street didn’t have much left to live. Therefore, he’d decided to enter a state of deep meditation in this place that was once the head altar of the Limitless Demon Sect and now one of its ‘Four Great Ancestral Lands’. He had entered into deep meditation in an attempt to wrestle for a new lease of life.
As such, unless it was absolutely necessary, the people of the ancestral land wouldn’t request Demon Monarch Lushan Street to intervene.
“Anyway, start the counterattack formation. The disciples of the ancestral land have already completed their preparations and are ready to counterattack at any moment! We must resist until Elder Lushan Street comes out of secluded meditation!” a cultivator next to Daoist Priest Weiwei said in a grave tone.
❄️❄️❄️
“Senior White, their defensive formation still has several layers left. In addition, they are about to operate their counterattacking formation!” Su Clan’s Sixteen said.
“Don’t worry. Let me recover my mana first!” Venerable White stretched out his hand into the ‘seal’, touching the crystalized lotus flower to recover his mana.
As soon as he touched it, a burst of extremely pure spiritual energy was transmitted from the crystalized lotus flower back to Venerable White’s body. Soon after, all the spiritual energy that Venerable White consumed to fly here—as well as the one consumed to display the ‘Holy Sword’ and ‘Excalibur: Sword of Promised Victory’ attacks—was replenished.
Venerable White had instantly returned to his peak condition.
“I’m back to my peak condition! Let’s see for how long can the defenses of this ancestral land of the Limitless Demon Sect resist! The next move is… Milky Way Obliterating Sword!”
“Boom, boom, boom~”
The sound of explosions continuously echoed, and the second defensive layer of this ancestral land of the Limitless Demon Sect was about to collapse.
“World Destroying Special Beam Cannon!”
“Boom, boom, boom~”
In the next moment, the second defensive layer of the ancestral land of the Limitless Demon Sect was broken through.
The corner of Song Shuhang’s mouth twitched. “Senior White, what you threw toward the ancestral land of the Limitless Demon Sect was sword qi… was it really fine to call this move ‘Special Beam Cannon’?”
Venerable White tilted his head. “In that case, why don’t you suggest a few good names for sword techniques?!”
The meaning was: “If you don’t like it, why don’t you find something better?”.
Just as they were discussing, the defensive system of the ancestral land started the counterattack.
Countless talismans, sword qi, saber qi, magical dragons, and fire phoenixes exploded toward Venerable White’s position.
Most of these attacks were group attacks.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, a similar attack would be used only if hundreds or thousands of cultivators were sieging their base. But now, they were using it against the lone Venerable White.
This concentrated attack made the onlookers feel as if there was no way of dodging it. No matter how incredible one’s footwork was, they would be still finished by such a large AOE attack.
But right at this time, Venerable White stretched out his right hand and opened it. “Sand materialization!”
In the sky, a large amount of spiritual qi condensed and transformed into sand that was to keep the attack off in front of Senior White. At the same time, the sand on the ground was also affected and started to float, mixing with the sand that Venerable White had created.
“My goal is to check the speed at which the crystalized lotus flower can restore spiritual energy and see if there are limitations on its uses or negative effects of any sort. Therefore, I can use all the spiritual energy I want!” Venerable White explained.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
The counterattack of the Limitless Demon Sect crashed into the sand barrier.
Nevertheless, the sand of the barrier was continuously generated. After it was burst open and transformed into spiritual energy, new sand would take its place and blend into the barrier, continuously warding off the counterattack of the ancestral land of the Limitless Demon Sect.
The attack continued for around fifteen breaths without interruptions… and only then was this sand barrier that Venerable White had condensed destroyed.
But when the sand barrier was destroyed, the trio hiding behind had already disappeared.
“Careful, the opposite party slipped away and changed location!” Daoist Priest Weiwei shouted.
“Clang!”
But right at this time, the defensive formation above his head lost two of its layers.
Venerable White was stepping in the air and holding Meteor Sword in his right hand. At this time, he was no longer borrowing those bizarre names from games, but was attacking seriously.
“How is this possible?! Even if he’s a Seventh Stage Venerable, it should be impossible for him to destroy two layers of the defensive formation of this ancestral land with just one slas.h.!.+” Daoist Priest Weiwei opened his eyes wide.
Each of the defensive layers of the ancestral land was stronger than the previous one. Let alone a Seventh Stage Venerable, not even an Eighth Stage Profound Sage could destroy two layers with just one sword attack!
“It’s the power of s.p.a.ce!” At this time, a True Monarch of the Limitless Demon Sect saw that there was a special power attached to the sword qi as Venerable White slashed down.
It was precisely due to the strengthening effects of the power of s.p.a.ce that the defenses of the ancestral land were getting broken through again and again.
“This smell… is the smell of treasures,” Venerable White said.
