Chapter 1356: Chapter 1357: Seeing 100% Again
“It’s too late, Xueshenzi has already made his move!”
Li Xiaobai said calmly. With a single thought, one thousand fully armed Divine Level Godzillas instantly emerged from the System Mall, all clad in golden helmets and armor, holding the Sea-Calming Divine Needle. Their massive figures merged into the void, charging toward the blood-colored ocean’s landing point to deal with the monsters there.
“What cultivation realm do you think those blood-colored beasts belong to?”
Disregarding the surrounding crowd’s panic, Li Xiaobai instead asked calmly. A sudden thought had struck him earlier—since the Immortal Gods Realm’s major figures couldn’t descend, these blood-colored beasts shouldn’t be overpoweringly strong either. Their power shouldn’t exceed the Saint Realm.
As long as they’re within the Saint Realm domain, they can’t possibly be his match.
“Does that even matter?”
“That’s power beyond ordinary reach! We can’t handle it. Kid, just run! As long as the green hills remain, there’s hope for firewood!”
Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing hurriedly said.
“Young Master Li, temporarily avoid their sharp edges. The elders and I will test them and probe their strength first!”
Yan Zuzi and Yitilou appeared and spoke.
It was terrifying bloodwater flowing down from the Immortal Gods Realm, with monsters within that were beyond imagination. Needless to say, their power was something the cultivators of the Central Origin Realm couldn’t resist.
Who would’ve thought Xueshenzi, after over a month of absence, would suddenly pull off such a colossal move upon his return?
This move—it was a total collapse!
In their eyes, Li Xiaobai’s forces were the Central Origin Realm’s strongest trump card, not to be casually revealed. The initial testing and probing needed to be handled by them first, lest Godzillas weaken prematurely before the boss even reveals himself.
“What’s the harm in testing them first?”
Li Xiaobai chuckled faintly, flipping his wrist as a longsword appeared in his hand.
He raised it high above his head, then swung it downward with force.
Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch, activate!
As the longsword descended, in an instant, all cultivators around Li Xiaobai collapsed to their knees without exception.
With one sword stroke, every cultivator before Li Xiaobai dropped to their knees, raising their hands high above their heads in a posture of devout worship.
Yitilou: “???”
Yan Zuzi: “???”
“What the hell is this sword technique? Why am I kneeling?”
The two elderly men looked utterly astonished, their hearts filled with inexplicable panic. Just moments ago, they’d been planning to escape, only to find themselves immobile in the blink of an eye.
But the effect of Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch didn’t stop there. Holding his position, sword tip lowered, Li Xiaobai witnessed how everyone before him, without exception, knelt down with arms raised high, frozen on the ground.
Seeing the scene unfold before them, Yitilou and Yan Zuzi nearly popped their eyes out of their sockets. What kind of sword trick was this? It was downright sinister! It immobilized cultivators of their level and even suppressed the entire sect’s disciples—all without causing harm. What did this mean?
This meant the young man before them had achieved unparalleled precision in controlling his sword’s power. Mind you, they were Saint Realm cultivators at the Divine Fire Peak, while the disciples ranged from the Three Realms of Immortals up to Semi-Saint. The specific force required to suppress each individual varied greatly—using their suppression force on the weaker disciples could have instantly crushed them.
Yet, no one was injured. This clearly showed Li Xiaobai’s mastery in force control was precise enough to perfectly differentiate between every person present.
How powerful must his Divine Soul be?
Such control could make even puppet masters pale in comparison. And this was only within the Sword Sect. Beyond its boundaries, his capabilities were utterly astonishing.
The effects of Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch were overbearing and unreasonable. One sword stroke and all living beings before Li Xiaobai were forced into kneeling, worshiping the Sword Sect, ignoring spatial distance.
The crowd surged like waves, frantically kneeling unified toward the Sword Sect’s direction. Meanwhile, the terrifying creatures newly emerged from the Blood River twisted bizarrely before collapsing flat on the ground.
On the Western Continent, in a small village.
A blood-red monstrous beast had just entered the village, preparing for slaughter. Cultivators all around were gripped with despair, forced to watch helplessly as the beast rampaged.
But in the next moment, they astonishingly found themselves involuntarily kneeling in worship toward the Eastern Continent. Even more bizarrely, the blood-red monster behind them hadn’t launched its attack long after. Confused, they couldn’t understand what had occurred.
“What’s going on? Someone check why we’re not dead yet!”
“No clue. Somehow we’re all locked in place. I’ve lost control of my body, and even the Immortal Yuan Power in my Dantian isn’t responding!”
“Can’t see anything—they’ve got us frozen solid. Could this be the blood monster playing tricks on us?”
The surrounding cultivators couldn’t fathom the situation, their bodies turned toward the Eastern Continent, unable to witness what was happening behind them.
“Whatever—at least we’re alive!”
The cultivators waited a while, confirming the blood-colored monster wasn’t moving before finally breathing a sigh of relief.
At this moment, most of the Central Origin Realm had been immobilized. Everyone in Li Xiaobai’s forward zone, regardless of cultivation level or age, had been turned into motionless statues.
Apart from a few witnesses of Li Xiaobai’s actions, no one knew what was happening.
On the Sword Sect’s Second Peak.
Li Xiaobai surveyed his masterpiece, nodding in satisfaction. He hadn’t wielded this skill in a long time—Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch, flawless as ever!
“As expected, even with assistance from the Immortal Gods Realm, the beings they send to the Central Origin Realm are still restricted to Saint Realm cultivation levels.”
“Go. Eradicate those blood-colored monsters completely!”
Li Xiaobai commanded coldly.
“Roar!”
All one thousand Godzilla beasts let out deafening growls. They were unaffected by the Hundred Percent skill’s suppression because Divine Level Godzillas, also System Mall creations, weren’t restricted by Divine Level skills like Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch!
Thus, the stage belonged entirely to Li Xiaobai. Victory was inevitable for him.
The golden-armored, terror-inducing beasts swung flaming tails and unleashed devastating lightning, swiftly enveloping the Blood River pouring out of the rift. The blood-colored monsters were smashed with a single strike, dissipating as blood qi scattered into the heavens.
“Holy crap, kid, you’re insane!”
“Buddha completely sees you in a new light!”
A chicken and a dog peeked out from behind, their faces filled with shock.
“Heh, now to see whether Xueshenzi himself has appeared. If he’s at the Blood River location, he should be immobilized too. Search carefully—if you find him, kill him immediately!”
