Chapter 617: Chapter 617 – Receive My Sword Strike
Heavenly law did not have a consciousness; it was just the principle that ruled above everything.
Those heavenly law eyes were just the manifestation of the heavenly tribulation in order to shake his dao heart.
Soon, the heavenly tribulation descended, and trillions of bolts of violet lightning fell, berserkly smas.h.i.+ng into Zhou Xuanji.
Zhou Xuanji directly used World Overlord and used heavenly law power to suppress the roiling saint energy in his body.
He looked like he was quite young and had been too rushed in breaking through, but his foundations were actually quite solid.
As his cultivation had increased, his body had been tempered as well.
His mental state had already touched the boundary of Great Dao, so to him, all the conditions were perfect.
The process of going through the tribulation was extremely drawn out.
Zhou Xuanji did not hide his aura; he was not afraid of any Heavenly Saints coming to attack.
In fact, he hoped that a Heavenly Saint would come.
About two hours later, he sensed two auras; it was Barbarian G.o.d Huangluo and Saint Zhuyin.
‘Looks like Barbarian G.o.d Huangluo did not have any good intentions from the start,’ Zhou Xuanji thought to himself as he smiled.
It was good that they had come!
They would help him reach an even higher level.
Soon, Barbarian G.o.d Huangluo and Saint Zhuyin appeared. They were to his left and right, about 10,000 meters away from him.
Looking at Zhou Xuanji in the distance, their gazes were incredibly complicated, unable to maintain the calmness of Heavenly Saints.
Zhou Xuanji did not say anything and waited for them to attack at any moment.
After a while, Barbarian G.o.d Huangluo spoke, “Zhou Xuanji, just what do you want to do? Since you are going to become an Overlord Saint, why not give out the four Heavenly Law Violet Qi?”
Zhou Xuanji looked at him and asked in response, “Since you’re already Heavenly Saints, why do you still want Heavenly Law Violet Qi?”
What a joke!
Why were they qualified to fight over it but not him?
Moreover, he had gained those four Heavenly Law Violet Qi himself, why should he just give them out?
“There are too many Heavenly Saints, so we want to destroy those four Heavenly Law Violet Qi. We will be able to divide the Great Thousand Worlds among ourselves and govern heavenly law together. What do you think?” Barbarian G.o.d Huangluo continued to ask. His gaze was calm, as if he could not see that Zhou Xuanji was going through a tribulation.
Saint Zhuyin lightly laughed and did not say anything.
For some reason, the feeling they gave Zhou Xuanji was not that of Heavenly Saints but those of evil demons trying to fight over power.
Was this what Heavenly Saints were like?
Zhou Xuanji’s gaze became one of condescension.
A golden light suddenly descended from above, landing in front of Zhou Xuanji.
A figure walked out from within the golden light; it was Buddha Yang Ling.
“Amitabha, I have a connection to brother Zhou. I advise you to leave, or don’t blame me for being discourteous.”
Buddha Yang Ling placed his left hand in front of his chest as he rolled a string of Buddhist beads through his right hand.
Baihao Yixin and Saint Zhuyin narrowed their eyes.
What a wily baldie!
He had jumped out to make trouble for them!
“Yang Ling, you think that he will join with you because you’re doing this? You’re the one who resulted in the death of Old Ancestor Hongs.h.i.+,” Saint Zhuyin said as he laughed.
Hearing this, Buddha Yang Ling’s right hand froze and his expression became a bit unnatural.
Zhou Xuanji’s expression did not change, remaining silent as he continued on through the tribulation.
According to his calculations, he would become an Overlord Saint very soon.
Buddha Yang Ling looked at Saint Zhuyin and said, “Our infighting has already caused heavenly law to be in a dangerous position. Why do you think Sage Daojing left? Do you think he was just pursuing greater power? He was running away.”
The reason why he wanted to clear out Saints was not just for power.
If he was the only Heavenly Saint, he could do whatever he wanted to help the living creatures and establish proper order.
The three Heavenly Saints began to squabble, wanting to make themselves seem morally upright.
Zhou Xuanji silently listened.
The heavenly law eyes gradually disappeared among the thunderclouds.
He could sense his body and soul going through changes.
“a.n.a.lyzed that the Sword Owner has reached the Overlord Saint realm. Gacha started!”
“Ding, Congratulations Sword Owner has obtained [Nine Extreme] Great Thousand Reincarnation Sword, Extreme Nightmare Abyss!”
The Sword Spirit’s voice sounded in Zhou Xuanji’s mind, making him frown slightly.
Why was it just a Nine Extreme Sword?
He thought about it and could not help but shake his head and laugh.
He was too greedy.
Following this, his entire being started to evolve.
Barbarian G.o.d Huangluo and Saint Zhuyin’s expressions slightly changed, but they still did not act towards Zhou Xuanji.
Now that things had come to this, they understood that they could not stop Zhou Xuanji. As such, it was better to turn hostility into friends.h.i.+p.
Buddha Yang Ling’s gaze became somewhat complicated because Zhou Xuanji’s growth speed was simply too fast!
From when they had made their agreement at the Heaven Fiend Realm to now, it had not been very long, and yet Zhou Xuanji had already surpa.s.sed him.
He even wondered if he had been fooled by some kind of illusion divine ability.
This dream was simply too ridiculous.
Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes and looked at Barbarian G.o.d Huangluo and Saint Zhuyin as he said coldly, “You’re still here. Looks like you’re not afraid of death.”
Saint Zhuyin gave a slight smile and said, “We didn’t mean to try to force you. Now that we’ve lost four Heavenly Saints, we cannot lose any more. You becoming an Overlord Saint is good news for us. You can do what you wish with the Heavenly Law Violet Qi. However, there is a very powerful enemy outside heavenly law. Before, even us eight Saints were not a match for him together.”
Enemy outside heavenly law?
Zhou Xuanji immediately thought of the Primordial Ancestor’s enemy.
That kind of existence was indeed something that the Heavenly Saints could not defeat.
“Ever since one starts cultivating, who doesn’t have any grat.i.tudes or grudges? We don’t have any deep enmity between us, and you’ve already reached the Saint realm and are the same level of existence as us. As Heavenly Law Saints, we need to fight alongside each other,” Barbarian G.o.d Huangluo said with a calm smile, as if he was not worried that Zhou Xuanji would suddenly attack at all.
Zhou Xuanji took out the Thunderclap Sword and smiled as he said, “Each of you receive a sword strike from me as punishment for your crimes. One of my seniors died because of you.
“Just a single sword strike. No matter if you live or die, our enmity will be written off.”
His smile was incredibly dangerous, making it so that Barbarian G.o.d Huangluo and Saint Zhuyin could no longer smile.
Buddha Yang Ling lightly sighed.
This boy was indeed someone who always repaid grudges. Fortunately he had not made an enemy of him back then.
He was curious if Barbarian G.o.d Huangluo and Saint Zhuyin could receive this sword strike from Zhou Xuanji.
“Now that you’ve said this, how can we refuse? Come!” Barbarian G.o.d Huangluo said as he loudly laughed. Two azure dragons wrapped around his valiant body and spiraled around him, causing his aura to rise to its peak.
Saint Zhuyin’s expression was dark and he could only nod.
He readied himself, preparing to receive Zhou Xuanji’s sword strike.
At that moment, Zhou Xuanji suddenly moved, turning and rus.h.i.+ng towards Saint Zhuyin.
His sword slashed out as Sword Dao Rules exploded out!
Saint Zhuyin raised his arms to block.
Boom—
Sword light flashed out as sword qi swept past. Saint Zhuyin instantly exploded, his soul dissipating, only leaving behind a trace of Heavenly Law Violet Qi.
The sword qi blasted out, ripping through the universe.
Barbarian G.o.d Huangluo and Buddha Yang Ling’s eyes widened.
How was this possible?
This…
The two of them were dumbfounded, especially Barbarian G.o.d Huangluo. His entire body trembled, and he felt an unprecedented sense of fear, making it impossible for him to remain calm.
That was Saint Zhuyin!
Within the Heavenly Saints, he was one of the stronger ones!
He had been instantly killed by Zhou Xuanji with a single sword strike?
“Impossible… he only just broke through…”
Barbarian G.o.d Huangluo’s entire body trembled as he felt despair, unable to believe his eyes.
