The clear sword lotuses covered the sky as they bloomed, and they drifted through every single inch of space while devouring strand after strand of calamity divine light that poured down. After that, it transformed into strand after strand of shapeless force that converged together before surging into the Dao Calamity Sword within Chen Xi’s body.

Om~ Om~

As more and more calamity divine light was devoured, the entire blood red Dao Calamity Sword started emanated waves of sword howls that grew in loudness until becoming like dragon roars that resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The sword howls were like a tide and were filled with supreme energy of divinity.

At this instant, the Nine Heaven Calamity Dao Annihilation Divine Formation was actually obstructed and fell into a stagnate state.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

On the other hand, the dense mass of Ancient Bloodgod Corpses that covered the heavens and the earth suffered endless attacks at this moment.

Their entire bodies were suffused with the aura of calamity, and they were similarly the targets of the clear sword lotuses’ attacks. Every single clear sword lotus emanated strands of terrifying and murderous sword qi that smashed down. In an instant, it slaughtered countless Ancient Bloodgod Corpses, and it was an extremely astonishing scene.

Even if it was Immortal Kings like Shi Yu, Xiangliu Li, and Dian Dian, they couldn’t help but exclaim with shock upon witnessing this scene. This is the might of the Dao Calamity Sword, a sword that innately counters the energy of calamity!

With their knowledge, they were naturally clearly aware of that shocking scheme that occurred during the primeval times. All those years ago, the enmity between the Sovereign Sect and the Chaotic Divine Lotus had come from the Dao Calamity Sword.

Because of this, the Sovereign Sect had exerted a great deal of effort in order to scheme against the Chaotic Divine Lotus at the moment when it was attaining the Grand Dao.

Unfortunately, the Sovereign Sect was still unable to obtain the Dao Calamity Sword in the end, and this matter had become a sore point in the Sovereign Sect. No one had expected that this legendary primeval divine weapon would have actually fallen into Chen Xi’s hands.

“Let’s make a move as well. It couldn’t be any better if we’re able to seize the Boundless World Mirror!” Shi Yu took a deep breath, and then his gaze swiftly locked onto the bronze ancient mirror that floated in midair in the distant while his expression revealed cold killing intent.

Earlier, he was pressured to the extent of almost fighting with his life on the line, and he’d accumulated a bellyful of rage since long ago. At this moment, the situation had turned around, so how could he possibly restrain himself?

Rumble!

He held the Five Color Rock as he strode through space and charged forward.

“Let’s go as well. Let’s seize this opportunity to leave this place as soon as possible. I really can’t wait to get even for this with those bastards from the Sovereign Sect!” Xiangliu Li turned around to glance at Dian Dian before she spoke in a light voice while her face had recovered its usually proud expression. When exalted Immortal Kings like them were pressure to such an extent, how could they possibly swallow this resentment?

“Alright, but I still have to take care of this fellow first.” Dian Dian smiled as she glanced at Chen Xi who stood by her side.

At this moment, Chen Xi’s mind had recovered its clarity, and he heard their conversation, but he was unable to move in a short period of time. Because the Dao Calamity Sword was droning within his body while devouring the calamity divine light, and it caused him to lose control of his body.

It was even to the extent that he was unable to open his mouth and speak.

This was the first time that Chen Xi had encountered such a situation. However, the Dao Calamity Sword was given to him by Dao Lotus, so it would absolutely not harm him. Thus, he wasn’t worried that any mishaps would occur.

He was just slightly curious. Why would the Dao Calamity Sword suddenly awaken at this moment?

Chen Xi intended to ask Dian Dian about this once he was able to move because Dian Dian had clearly recognized this sword long ago.

…

At the same time, in the space 50,000km away from them.

Suiren Ting’s expression suddenly turned grim. “Shit!”

“What is it?” Jiang Lingxiao was stunned.

“Dammit! It’s actually the aura of the Dao Calamity Sword!” Suiren Ting sensed it carefully for a moment before his face instantly sank. “This sword was left behind by the Chaotic Divine Lotus all those years ago, and it innately counters the energy of calamity possessed by my Sovereign Sect!”

“What!? Hasn’t that sword become lost a long time ago? We weren’t even able to find it after we annihilated the Nine Radiance Sword Sect. How could it possibly appear in the hands of Nuwa’s Dao Palace?” When she heard the words Dao Calamity Sword, Jiang Lingxiao’s expression turned slightly grim. Never had she imagined that after the matter had developed to such an extent, such an unexpected event would actually occur.

The Dao Calamity Sword!

That was a thorn in the heart of the Sovereign Sect, and the Sovereign Sect couldn’t eat and sleep in peace if this thorn wasn’t removed!

“Shi Yu, Xiangliu Li, Midnight Immortal King… They shouldn’t possess that sword, otherwise, how could it possibly deceive the senses of our Sect Master?” Suiren Ting took a deep breath and forcefully restrained the restlessness in his heart as he muttered while frowning.

“Wait! We forgot one!” After a short moment, Suiren Ting’s eyes suddenly erupted with boundless flames that seemed to desire to incinerate the sky, and it was extremely shocking. “Dammit! His fate is actually concealed by the workings of the heavens. No wonder even the Boundless World Mirror was unable to notice his existence!”

“His fate his concealed by the workings of the heavens? So, in this way, the aura of the Dao Calamity Sword was concealed as well? So that’s how it is…” Jiang Lingxiao instantly understood everything.

Right at this moment, Suiren Ting suddenly let out a muffled groan while his pupils constricted abruptly, and his expression instantly became unsightly. “That damnable Shi Yu is actually trying to seize the Boundless World Mirror!”

This string of unexpected events took Jiang Lingxiao by surprise.

But she was very clearly aware that their meticulous plans this time had probably been carried out in vain…

“Dammit! An unknown fate actually affected our entire plans. If I find out who this kid is, then I’ll definitely kill his entire family!” Since he’d cultivated to such a cultivation realm, Suiren Ting understood that the unknown meant that there were variables. Once there were variables, then no matter how tiny it was, if it was grabbed a hold of by an Immortal King, it would be sufficient to turn the situation around.

Suiren Ting didn’t dare hesitate any longer. His crimson red hair fluttered while an enormous flaming glow suddenly surged out from his entire body. He was like an emperor of flames, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed towards the space in the distance.

Rumble!

50,000km away, a bronze ancient mirror suddenly tore through space and revolved before it flashed. In an instant, it had already traversed boundless space and fell into Suiren Ting’s palm.

“Let’s go! Our plans have failed this time, so we can’t stay here any longer. We can only look for another opportunity to make a move!” Suiren Ting’s expression was gloomy as he flicked his sleeve, and a path of flames unfolded beneath his feet. It led directly into the depths of space, and then he instantly vanished without a trace.

“Next time? There probably won’t be such a superb opportunity next time…” Jiang Lingxiao sighed in her heart and was rather disgruntled. However, her figure still flashed in the end, and she transformed into a ray of watery blue light that tore through the sky as she left.

…

Rumble!

Divine radiance erupted as the four towering divine mountains were shattered into pieces, and they transformed into surging chaotic torrents that swept towards the surrounding space. Everywhere they passed, stars were shattered into pieces while the masses of land that floated in space rumbled and were obliterated, and it was an extremely shocking scene.

At this point, the Nine Heaven Calamity Dao Annihilation Divine Formation had been completely destroyed!

“Hmph! They really fled quickly!” Amidst the dust and dirt that suffused the air, Shi Yu’s lone and mighty figure charged out, and it was dazzling and resplendent while it emanated the supreme and arrogant aura of an Immortal King.

His gaze looked towards the distance, and he didn’t pursue them in the end.

In this battle, he wasn’t the only one that had exhausted a great deal of his strength, even Xiangliu Li and Dian Dian had suffered some injuries. They needed to rest and reorganize for some time, and if it wasn’t for that, he would have pursued Suiren Ting and Jiang Lingxiao.

“Senior Brother Shi Yu, there’s no need to be impatient. We’ll definitely have a chance to meet them in the God Attainment Region.” Xiangliu Li walked over as well and spoke in a light voice.

Shi Yu nodded, and then he said, “Right, how’s Brother Chen Xi?”

Xiangliu Li couldn’t help but smile when Chen Xi was mentioned. “He’s fine, and he just can’t move for now.”

“I’ll go have a look at him.” Shi Yu turned around and left. Earlier, he’d looked after Chen Xi only out of consideration for Oracle Mountain, and their relationship couldn’t be considered to be deep. After all, Chen Xi was only a Golden Immortal, and the gap between them was too far.

But after they’d experienced this unexpected event and Chen Xi had saved his life, Shi Yu would naturally not treat Chen Xi as he did before this.

Xiangliu Li smiled lightly when she saw this, and she immediately followed after him.

Her thoughts were roughly similar to Shi Yu. However, she wasn’t aware of Chen Xi’s origins, and her understanding of Chen Xi merely came from Midnight Immortal King. Even though she was rather considerate to Chen Xi all along the way, it was only because it was the proper attitude a senior should have towards a junior.

Yet now, she didn’t dare think like that any longer. Merely the matter that Chen Xi possessed the Dao Calamity Sword caused her to not dare take Chen Xi as an ordinary Golden Immortal.

…

Meanwhile, the Dao Calamity Sword had returned to calm once more.

However, Chen Xi acutely noticed that after it absorbed a large amount of calamity divine light, the Dao Calamity Sword seemed to have faintly undergone slight changes, yet he was unable to figure it out when he investigated this change.

After that, Chen Xi finally noticed that not only was he able to move again, his cultivation had actually improved by a shred. The vital energy in his entire body felt complete and bulging as if he was on the verge of breaking through.

This caused him to be delighted in his heart. He was very clearly aware that if nothing unexpected happened, then when he returned to the Immortal Dimension from the God Attainment Region this time, he would probably be able to step into the path of gods and saint and advance into the Saint Immortal Realm!

I never expected that in this great tribulation, not only had the River Diagram fragments awakened and helped me deal with the assault of the Immortal King’s blood, even the Dao Calamity Sword droned and awakened to resolve the calamity I faced… Everything he experienced earlier felt like a dream, and Chen Xi couldn’t help but be extremely dazed when he thought about it at this moment.

Presently, he was able to roughly determine that the unexpected changes in the River Diagram fragments was probably related to the God Attainment Region, whereas the unexpected change in the Dao Calamity Sword was related to the Sovereign Sect’s energy of calamity instead.

No matter what, the danger this time was averted in the end… Chen Xi took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

After that, he saw that Dian Dian, Shi Yu, and Xiangliu Li were all by his side, and they were all looking at him with smiles on their faces. Moreover, they had warm expressions that carried a wisp of sincere concern.

This caused Chen Xi to be unable to help but be overwhelmed by the sudden favor. There were countless Golden Immortals in the world, yet could any one of these Golden Immortals receive the uniform concern of three Immortal Kings?

Such good fortune was something others couldn’t obtain even if they fought to death for it!

“Brother Chen Xi, you saved all of our lives this time.” Shi Yu roared with laughter when he saw Chen Xi awaken, and he didn’t conceal his admiration at all.

“Exactly. We’d probably have perished if it wasn’t for you.” Xiangliu Li smiled lightly from the side.

“I told you, he isn’t ordinary.” Dian Dian blinked, and she was grinning as well.

Even with Chen Xi’s composure, being praised by three Immortal Kings caused him to be unable to help but feel embarrassed at this moment…
