Chapter 79: Today, I’m Entering the Divine Martial Realm

The God of Slaughter, Chu Lingxiao from Guiyuan Martial Sect, arrived, and his overwhelming presence shook the entire area.

Countless cultivators fighting over the spiritual stones and herbs from the Earth Veins immediately halted.

Once they shook off their shock, they practically fled towards the entrance of the Earth Veins.

No joke, this God of Slaughter is not someone to mess with.

If they didn’t scram, Chu Lingxiao would really start doing some killing.

This guy has a notorious reputation!

Yet some folks were unwilling to leave.

This was a newly discovered Earth Vein, with an abundance of cultivation resources—spiritual stones, spiritual jade, anything you could pick up, and rare herbs littering the ground.

With so many cultivation resources, who wouldn’t be envious?

“Chu Lingxiao, your Guiyuan Martial Sect is really greedy!”

Jiang Qitian strode forward, sword in hand.

He wore an ancient, luxurious robe, flowing like a celestial being descending from the heavens, exuding an aura of authority and grace.

Every step he took resonated with the world, making the air around him feel dense.

Everyone present couldn’t help but be shocked by the sight.

Following Jiang Qitian were Transmission Elder Cang Xiao and Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie.

Elder Cang Xiao, with his snowy hair and youthful face, moved with a graceful elegance.

Elder Lei Lie walked with the ferocity of a dragon and tiger, his gaze sharp and commanding.

Behind the three, dozens of disciples from the Qingyang Sword Sect wore matching attire, their expressions serious.

These disciples were veteran sword cultivators, each one at the Divine Ability Realm.

With such a powerful group gathered, the Sword Qi in the air was palpable, pressing down on everyone.

All present were dumbstruck.

“Jiang Qitian, even if your Qingyang Sword Sect turned out in force, you’re still not enough for me to handle. Take your people and get out of here!” Chu Lingxiao sneered at Jiang Qitian.

That’s the attitude of the God of Slaughter from Guiyuan.

No retreat means death, and Jiang Qitian was no exception.

Those inside the Earth Veins were shocked to the core, and some quietly slipped away.

Chu Lingxiao was half a step into the Sacred Martial Realm.

And Jiang Qitian? Just at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm.

To Chu Lingxiao, Jiang Qitian was no more significant than an ant.

Why would he fight him?

If Jiang Qitian were atop Qingyang Mountain, Chu Lingxiao couldn’t do anything about him.

But this place was not Qingyang Mountain.

“Chu Lingxiao, aren’t you afraid of biting your own tongue? Let’s see who you can kill today,” Lei Lie stepped forward and declared loudly.

His voice rang out like thunder, echoing through the vast Earth Veins.

“I’ll kill you today!” Chu Lingxiao announced, not hesitating in the slightest.

A terrifying killing intent burst from him, making the air feel as if it had solidified.

Everyone’s hearts raced in fear.

The disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect turned pale.

“Buzz!”

At that moment, Jiang Qitian’s sword shook in his hand, letting out a sharp cry.

A searing wave of Sword Qi erupted from his sword, and the temperature around them began to rise rapidly.

“What is this…?”

Chu Lingxiao’s gaze fixed on Jiang Qitian’s sword.

The next moment, shock filled his expression.

“Can you still be arrogant in front of our sect’s divine sword?”

Lei Lie shot a cold look at Chu Lingxiao.

“What…?”

“Could it be that Jiang Qitian’s sword is the legendary Qingyang Sword?”

Nearby onlookers gawked at the sword in Jiang Qitian’s hand.

He had actually brought the Qingyang Sword!

It was an ancient sword, with runes carved into the sheath, glowing with spiritual light.

This wasn’t just any sheath; the runes served as a seal to contain the sword’s Qi.

The Qingyang Sword’s power was so immense that this prevented it from hurting anyone inadvertently.

“Now I get it, getting to see the Qingyang Sword today as a sword cultivator, I have no regrets!”

The killing intent around Chu Lingxiao intensified, spreading like a tangible fog around him.

Those who hadn’t retreated in the Earth Veins were now sweating bullets, their souls trembling in fear.

“This is the terror of the Guiyuan God of Slaughter?”

“This is just his killing intent…”

The other cultivators in the Earth Veins scrambled to retreat.

It was hard to imagine how terrifying this God of Slaughter would be once he made a move.

Seeing that Chu Lingxiao knew he could act even while Jiang Qitian had the Qingyang Sword made Jiang Qitian’s heart race. He merely intended to use the sword to keep Chu Lingxiao at bay.

Who knew this Chu Lingxiao was a lunatic?

For a moment, the vast space of the Earth Veins fell into utter silence.

Jiang Qitian stared at him, tightening his grip on his sword.

As the leader of the Qingyang Sword Sect, he absolutely couldn’t back down in front of everyone.

He was caught in a bind now.

The two elders behind him slowly retreated, and the disciples spread out to form a sword formation.

The Jiu Yang Extermination Sword Formation of the Qingyang Sword Sect was renowned as one of the three major sword formations in the northern territory, even more potent than the Guiyuan Martial Sect’s Guiyuan Seven Absolute Sword Formation.

Within the Earth Veins, the killing intent surged and Sword Qi roared.

It was clear that a battle was inevitable.

Everyone in the Earth Veins felt the tension rise.

“Haha… Chu, my young friend, it’s been years, and you still haven’t dulled your killing intent!”

Just then, a hearty laugh echoed.

A figure in a white daoist robe stepped through the air, walking toward them step by step.

He had three strands of long beard hanging to his chest, a tall and slender frame, and looked like a refined sage.

“Sky Void Niu Bizi?”

The moment Chu Lingxiao saw the newcomer, his brows furrowed.

“Supreme Dao Sect, Half-Step Dao Saint, Sky Void Daoist?” Jiang Qitian was similarly astonished.

This man was a big deal from the Supreme Dao Sect, possessing powerful Dao techniques, nearly unbeatable below the Sacred Martial Realm.

But he had been rumored to be traveling the world in search of opportunities to achieve sainthood. What was he doing here?

At that moment, another figure emerged from deep within the Earth Veins.

A woman in white with long hair appeared, ethereal as a fairy.

Li Chenyu from the Fuyiao Sword Sect had arrived.

“Li Shimei, you came just in time. Let’s team up to drive away these annoying guys. How about our two sects jointly controlling this place?”

Upon seeing Li Chenyu, Chu Lingxiao’s eyes lit up.

Jiang Qitian and Sky Void Daoist’s faces grew solemn.

Fuyiao Sword Sect was the number one sword sect in the northern territory, while Guiyuan Martial Sect was second.

If these top two sects teamed up, who could contend in the entire northern territory?

“Are we that close?”

Li Chenyu frowned.

“This…”

Chu Lingxiao felt a bit awkward but didn’t get angry.

Clearly, he had a crush on Li Chenyu.

But Li Chenyu didn’t reciprocate.

“Haha… With old friends gathered, how could I, Huang Tian, be absent?”

A boisterous laugh rang out.

A muscular man with a beard walked in, carrying a large blade.

“Blade God Huang Tian?”

The crowd gasped.

The Blade God from the Shifang Qimen had also arrived.

As powerful figures gathered, Xiao Yang sat cross-legged within a pool of spiritual energy, cultivating the Mysterious Skill to absorb the Earth Veins’ spiritual energy.

He was attempting to break into the Divine Martial Realm with the limitless spiritual energy from this place.

If he succeeded, another Martial God would emerge in the northern territory.

Visible spiritual light gathered from all directions, melding into Xiao Yang’s body.

Powerful Sword Yuan surged within him, and a thunderous roiling began inside, as his muscles and bones rang in unison, forging his body with the Sword Yuan.

Today, I’m entering the Divine Martial Realm!
