Boom thundered……
The statue seemed to suddenly come to life, manifesting an ordinary long sword in its hands. It raised the sword and performed a light slash towards Chihu Daozun.
A somewhat dim and illusory-looking sword-shadow directly materialized, instantly appearing above Chihu Daozun's head.
"How is this possible?!"
Chihu Daozun's face changed drastically, because he sensed that this seemingly dim and illusion-like sword-shadow was actually bringing him an immense sense of crisis. It could even threaten his life!
Daring not to be negligent, Chihu Daozun raised the long blade in his hand and slashed forward with all his might. Simultaneously, over a dozen Chaos God-level magical artifacts appeared, all activated in front of him to block the attack.
Moreover, at this moment, Chihu Daozun also performed a highly advanced space-time secret technique. His figure twisted, and he had already left his original position, leaving only a blurred afterimage standing in his original spot.
"The Founding Ancestor of the Azure Dragon Sword Sect truly lives up to his reputation!" Sword Elder praised.
After speaking, Sword Elder suddenly raised the sword in his hand high.
"Five Elements Divine Peaks, assist me in slaying the enemy!" Sword Elder suddenly cried out.
Immediately, from within the headquarters of the Tianjian Sect behind him, five divine peaks gushing with translucent golden light instantly manifested.
These five divine mountains weren't particularly huge in size, each roughly the size of an ordinary palace hall.
But each peak contained sword Dao energy of terrifying, extreme intensity. Rolling torrents of sword light soared into the sky like a celestial river pouring down.
With the appearance of these five divine peaks, the concentration of Sword Dao energy within the entire Tianjian Sect headquarters skyrocketed by at least a thousandfold.
Then, these five divine peaks rose into the air, soared out of the headquarters in an instant, and then clustered around Sword Elder's body.
Vast amounts of Sword Dao energy and Sword Dao laws continuously poured out from within each divine peak, flooding into the Five Elements Divine Sword in Sword Elder's hand, causing the sword's aura to climb endlessly.
With a boom, Sword Elder grasped the sword with both hands, unleashed a Sword Dao secret technique, and slashed forward.
A massive sword beam instantly tore through space, slashing towards Chihu Daozun.
"Sword Elder, how has your power suddenly increased so much?!"
Chihu Daozun was startled. The power of the sword slash Sword Elder was now sending his way was at least a hundred times stronger than his previous attacks.
He actually didn't dare to receive it head-on and was forced to retreat rapidly.
"I heard you Tianjian Sect have five Divine Sword Peaks, left behind by your Founding Ancestor from the past. I never thought these five Divine Sword Peaks truly existed. Today I've finally seen them with my own eyes," the high-ranking elder from the Azure Dragon Sword Sect remarked, casting a glance at the five peaks circling Sword Elder with a shocked expression.
"The two of you truly live up to your reputation as the famed top sword cultivators of the Sword Realm Continent from the past. Your respective Sword Dao sects also deserve their titles as two of the top powers on the Sword Realm Continent! Despite being destroyed for so long, you still possess such deep reserves!"
Seeing Sword Elder and the powerhouse from the Azure Dragon Sword Sect suddenly unleash the hidden trump cards of their respective sects, vastly boosting their combat power and driving Chihu Daozun steadily back, Shoudi Laoren couldn't help but feel immensely pleased.
While elated, Shoudi Laoren recognized this as an opportunity to severely injure Chihu Daozun. He stomped his foot, causing the grand formation comprised of tens of thousands of Earth Dragons to contract rapidly. Tens of thousands of Earth Dragons surged like a tide towards Chihu Daozun.
Simultaneously, hundreds of millions of tall, thick earthen walls also slammed towards Chihu Daozun from all directions.
Shoudi Laoren pointed his finger. A gigantic compass rose into the air, appearing above Chihu Daozun. It spun rapidly, radiating numerous profound runes, beginning to seal the space where Chihu Daozun was located.
Under the siege by Shoudi Laoren, Sword Elder, and the Azure Dragon Sword Sect elder, Chihu Daozun, an early-stage Chaos Deity, finally could endure no more.
With a resounding *bang*, he was sent flying by the combined strike of the three powerhouses, crashing onto the ground in the distance and creating a bottomless chasm in the earth.
"Take advantage of his weakness and finish him off!"
Shoudi Laoren stamped his foot. Tens of thousands of Earth Dragons surged forward, pressing the advantage to pursue.
One after another, gigantic fists condensed from mud and stone whistled through the air, aimed squarely at Chihu Daozun.
Sword Elder and the Azure Dragon Sword Sect elder also immediately charged forward, joining the siege on Chihu Daozun once more.
As time passed, Chihu Daozun began being sent flying, time and again.
"You all deserve to die! Every one of you!"
Cornered and besieged by three powerhouses, constantly being beaten and sent flying, Chihu Daozun's heart seethed with the ultimate frustration.
To think a dignified Chaos Deity would suffer such a fate! It made him so furious he nearly choked.
However, Shoudi Laoren, Sword Elder, and the Azure Dragon Sword Sect elder fought with increasing ferocity.
Especially Shoudi Laoren. As time passed, the number of Divine Pills he had refined increased. His body and Soul Body were recovering rapidly, and the level of combat power he could unleash grew ever stronger.
In the past, the main reason he had been imprisoned within the underground palace of the Sword Realm Continent was a sudden, massive surprise attack and siege by a host of powerhouses from the Divine Sword Sect and the Blade Realm. Severely injured, he was then suppressed and sealed, followed by the use of artifacts from the Great Netherworld to lock down his physical body and Soul Body. Thus, having no power to resist, he was imprisoned for endless eons within the underground palace.
But the moment Shoudi Laoren had completely shaken off that control, it was as if a tiger had returned to its mountains or a dragon had entered the sea.
The Shoudi Laoren who had once shaken the entire Chaos Void Sea was returning!
A mere Chihu Daozun truly wasn't much for Shoudi Laoren. Coupled with the assistance of Sword Elder and the Azure Dragon Sword Sect powerhouse, Chihu Daozun's defeat was inevitable.
"Not good! Chihu Daozun appears to be wounded!"
At this moment, other Blade Realm cultivators on the battlefield saw Chihu Daozun being sent flying high into the air time and again by the three powerhouses, his physical body and Soul Body constantly exploding. They could only watch in shock and rage.
Among their group of Blade Realm cultivators, Chihu Daozun was the strongest and their leader.
"Let's join Chihu Daozun and fight together against the enemy!"
Some of the Blade Realm cultivators gritted their teeth and charged forward, brandishing their long blades in an attempt to aid Chihu Daozun.
Resulting in Shoudi Laoren stomping his foot. Large batches of tall, thick earthen walls continuously manifested, directly surrounding and trapping those Blade Realm cultivators who sought to rush over.
Immediately after, massive numbers of Earth Dragons surged forth. In less than an instant, they crashed into those Blade Realm cultivators, shattering them repeatedly, obliterating both their forms and spirits.
These ordinary Blade Realm cultivators were simply no match for Shoudi Laoren.
"Hmph! Chihu Daozun, did you ever imagine such an outcome would befall you when you dared to openly come to our Sword Realm Continent?"
Brandishing the Five Elements Divine Sword, with the five dazzling Divine Sword Peaks swirling around his body, Sword Elder took a step forward. The Five Elements Divine Sword in his hand directly sliced off one of Chihu Daozun's arms.
"Except now it's too late for regret!"
The Azure Dragon Sword Sect elder, urging the Azure Dragon Sword Seal, directly smashed Chihu Daozun's other arm to pieces.
With a *boom*, the ground beneath Chihu Daozun's feet suddenly cracked open. An enormous yellow fist emerged and delivered a violent blow to the soles of Chihu Daozun's feet, instantly causing them to explode. Then, Shoudi Laoren, manipulating the earth formation comprised of tens of thousands of Earth Dragons, sent it rolling in. The formation immediately suppressed Chihu Daozun's physical body, making it explode repeatedly.
"Ahh! Impossible! How can a dignified Chaos God like me be beaten so miserably on a destroyed continent like this?! I refuse to accept this!"
Chihu Daozun roared unwillingly.
"Trap his Soul Body! He wants to escape!" Shoudi Laoren shouted.
He then pointed. A giant compass spun and rapidly enlarged, instantly sealing this stretch of space tightly.
Grasping a L-square in his hand, Shoudi Laoren flicked it violently forward. Immediately, a large area of space ahead began to ripple.
Chihu Daozun's Soul Body had originally been preparing to flee this place, but suddenly discovered the space distorting and rippling. That deformed and twisted space began to press towards his Soul Body from all sides, drastically slowing his movement.
The Earth Measurement Art could attack not only the physical body, but also the Soul Body!
"Hahaha... Chihu Daozun, earlier you kept calling us 'wandering spirits and wild ghosts'. Now you're reduced to a single Soul Body as well. Let's see how many tricks you have left!"
Sword Elder and the Azure Dragon Sword Sect elder simultaneously burst into loud laughter, one flanking from the left, the other from the right, as they charged forward and surrounded Chihu Daozun's Soul Body.
Chihu Daozun couldn't help but show an expression of terror. Previously, he had indeed looked down upon Sword Elder and the Azure Dragon Sword Sect elder in their state as remnant souls. But now, he was also reduced to just a Soul Body. Caught unprepared and flustered, there was no time for him to reform a physical body. Without one, many of his cultivation techniques, secret arts, and numerous methods could not be utilized.
"Now, you may die."
Sword Elder's voice was icy. Holding the Five Elements Divine Sword, with the five Divine Sword Peaks swirling around his body, his killing intent was palpable. Every slash he unleashed manifested a massive pillar-like sword beam, soaring like a pillar holding up the heavens, hacking towards Chihu Daozun's Soul Body.
Urging the Azure Dragon Sword Seal forward, the Azure Dragon Sword Sect elder also had the statue seated cross-legged above his head constantly spraying out terrifying Sword Dao energy, flooding it into the Azure Dragon Sword Seal, making its aura even more potent.
Moreover, the hands of the statue now formed a profound-looking Dharma Seal, precisely the most advanced seal technique for activating the Azure Dragon Sword Seal.
This caused the combat prowess the Azure Dragon Sword Seal displayed to be monstrously terrifying.
Chihu Daozun's Soul Body didn't dare to clash with this Azure Dragon Sword Seal head-on at all and was forced to retreat again and again.
Chihu Daozun had already activated dozens of Soul Power energy-type magical artifacts, shielding his Soul Body from all sides.
But the grades of those artifacts were simply inferior to Sword Elder's Five Elements Divine Sword and the Azure Dragon Sword Seal. Under the joint attack of Sword Elder and the Azure Dragon Sword Sect elder, Chihu Daozun's Soul Power energy-type magical artifacts were sent flying, one after another.
"Haha... Chihu Daozun, today is the day you meet your end!"
Shoudi Laoren roared with laughter. Having just regained a portion of his strength and already beating a Chaos God into such a state, filled him with a sense of accomplishment and revived his confidence from the old days.
"Not good! Chihu Daozun is in danger!"
Seeing Chihu Daozun fallen into such dire straits at this moment, Zhou Duantian and a few of the Divine Sword Sect's Paramount Elders all had their expressions darken slightly.
"Chihu Daozun, fear not! I shall aid you!"
Mochenzi also turned around at this moment and charged towards this area. He had previously been battling against other senior members of various Sword Dao sects and had gained the upper hand in combat, destroying many powerful remnant souls. But now, seeing Chihu Daozun beaten so miserably, he immediately wanted to rush over to help.
"Quickly use the Realm-Stabilizing Dragon Vein Formation to intercept the other guys. I want to kill this Chihu Daozun!"
Ye Yunfei received a sound transmission from Shoudi Laoren at this moment. He was currently controlling the Realm-Stabilizing Dragon Vein Formation to confront Zhou Duantian and several Divine Sword Sect Paramount Elders.
"Alright!"
Receiving the transmission, Ye Yunfei immediately nodded. He then raised a foot and stomped down, beginning to unleash the many variations of the Realm-Stabilizing Dragon Vein Formation to prevent other powerhouses from going to Chihu Daozun's aid.
