Chapter 1373: Chapter 1374: Blasting Your Eyes Out
The number of bronze creatures descending from the heavens gradually diminished. Even those who suppressed their cultivation and lowered their realm could not cross realms endlessly. The Central Origin Realm has its own capacity. If the power is too strong to cross realms, forcing entry would lead to rejection and backlash from this world, ultimately resulting in their own demise.
This is also one of the main reasons why many Immortal Gods are unwilling to personally descend. After all, who wants to risk their own life here?
More and more bronze creatures knelt in rows before Li Xiaobai, their hands raised high above their heads, looking utterly bizarre. If someone didn’t know better, they might think some kind of terrifying ritual was taking place!
Xiao Lao Di, eager to test his strength, gathered Immortal Yuan Power in his palm and slapped the nearest bronze creature’s head. He directly spun it 360 degrees on its shoulders before it fell to the ground, blood splattering three feet.
“Huh?”
“That was that easy to handle?”
Xiao Lao Di was a bit taken aback. He had assumed that, even under control, these creatures would be a tough nut to crack. But unexpectedly, a single slap was enough to knock off its head, which rolled to the ground. That visage left everyone somewhat stunned.
As speculated, it was not human—it was a beast’s head. Judging by its appearance, it resembled a lizard, its lifeless eyes glaring in an unavenged death.
“Oh, damn, it really isn’t human! These are Demonic Beasts. Could it be that all Upper Realm Immortal Gods are just a bunch of hideous freaks? No wonder they keep shouting about eating humans!”
Yitilou moved closer, fiddling with the corpse of the Demonic Beast. It had no breath left—it was as dead as could be. However, the bronze mystical armor on its body remained intact and pristine. Without hesitation, he immediately stripped it off and wore it himself.
This made everyone’s eyelids twitch madly and their faces darken. This was the enemy’s battle armor. He didn’t even bother examining it before casually putting it on—he showed not a shred of dignity or decorum befitting a leader! At the very least, he could pretend to analyze it a bit before equipping it!
“Although they all possess Saint Realm Three Divine Flames cultivation levels, their cultivation has been fully suppressed at this moment. They cannot summon any resistance from their bodies, so naturally, they are nothing more than lambs on the chopping block. Don’t waste time. Even Young Master Li won’t be able to hold out for long!”
Zhang Liancheng spoke calmly. He immediately grasped the key issue: These bronze cultivators had no power flowing through their bodies. Without their cultivation abilities, they were despite their superior realm and strength as vulnerable as children.
Forming a blade with his fingers, he swept it down ferociously toward a line of bronze creatures. In an instant, heads rolled, as neat as slicing melons and chopping vegetables—clean and efficient.
The corpses did not originate from the Central Origin Realm, and thus no resources spilled forth upon their death. Ergouzi and his group dashed in from who knows where, sweeping through the scene like a whirlwind, quickly stripping all the bronze mystical armor from the corpses—even their inner robes and underwear were taken.
Yitilou and Yan Zuzi followed closely behind. Each unleashed powerful attacks, utterly annihilating the powerless bronze cultivators until not even bones remained. All that was left were pieces of untouched bronze mystical armor, glimmering faintly on the ground.
The lizard heads rolled across the ground, lifeless, completely and irreversibly dead.
Li Xiaobai maintained his stance, holding his longsword, and ensured the execution of the Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch. He pinned the army of bronze creatures firmly to the ground, watching everything unfold with a detached expression. There was no need for reinforcements from the rear army—a handful of Saint Realm powerhouses were enough to cleanse the entire area with blood.
The scene was utterly silent. Within just a few short minutes, all the bronze creatures that had been kneeling in rows were completely slaughtered!
Pools of blood covered the ground, littered with severed limbs and battered remains. All that remained were untouched bronze mystical armor sets and scattered Space Rings.
Stillness!
The silence was so absolute you could hear a pin drop!
All sounds abruptly ceased. Cultivators stood as stiff as wooden figures, filled with an overwhelming sense of unreality. Just moments ago, they had faced terrifying creatures so overbearing they could even slay Godzilla. Yet now, in the blink of an eye, they had been reduced to dust?
Not only were the cultivators stunned—even the Saint Realm powerhouses were filled with disbelief. They had barely exerted themselves, yet their single strikes had utterly defeated the invading cultivators from the Immortal Gods Realm. It was genuinely hard to comprehend.
Xiao Lao Di was the first to recover. Without a second thought, he moved forward and immediately donned a set of bronze battle armor, picked up a few Space Rings casually, and stuffed them into his pocket as though there were no witnesses. The others followed suit, quickly divvying up the spoils.
Even the Saint Realm powerhouses from the Super Sects joined in, each taking away a set of bronze mystical armor. Though the armor appeared damaged, it was full of mysteries. Hidden within it was a faint flow of some kind of power they could not decipher. However, the familiar aura of time which lingered around it was recognizable—it seemed prepared by the Immortal Gods as a contingency.
These monsters had been smashed to pieces, yet their battle armor remained intact, signaling the intricate craftsmanship involved.
These were true treasures. Wearing them enhanced one’s combat ability and might hold more mysteries yet to be discovered. For now, it was already valuable enough.
“Immortal Gods? Is this all they’ve got?”
Xiao Lao Di toyed with the bronze mystical armor on him, casually picking up two battle spears. Other than sensing their extraordinary sturdiness, he felt no other connection. It seemed his Immortal Yuan Power didn’t align with the energy within the spears, preventing him from harnessing them. Similar feelings arose among the others. Despite this mismatch, the flowing aura of time carried by the equipment faintly influenced the environment and was undoubtedly adequate for defense.
“The power within this armor is terrifying, certainly exceeding Saint Realm cultivation levels. However, our realms are too low and our strength incompatible, making it impossible to tap into its potential.”
Yan Zuzi let his Divine Soul power sweep across the armor, immediately analyzing its essence.
Now was not the time to study the bronze mystical armor. From the rift heavenward, more Immortal Gods were yet to descend!
The cultivators with Saint Realm Three Divine Flames had ceased throwing themselves forward. The Immortal Gods Realm appeared to have detected anomalies within the Central Origin Realm. A single pitch-black eyeball slowly emerged from the rift, swirling erratically, absorbing the battlefield below into its gaze. Its focus pinned directly onto the Sword Sect and settled on Li Xiaobai.
The owner of this eye was Chen, who possessed powers capable of corrupting minds. A strand of its energy had descended into the Central Origin Realm to inspect the situation. Li Xiaobai clearly saw the black eye radiate faint gray ripples, seemingly attempting some kind of technique against him.
It was useless. The System automatically shielded against all spiritual attacks, even those vastly superior to Li Xiaobai’s own realm and strength.
“What are you staring at? I’ll smash your eyeball to bits!”
Li Xiaobai brandished his sword and struck. A blinding Sword Intent cleaved through the sky, appearing before the black eyeball instantly. It sliced it to shreds in one blow. While the eye managed to cross realms, it was far from its peak power and unable to withstand the offensive might of the Demon Sealing Sword Evocation.
“Activate the Formation. Have the Sect Disciples take refuge for now. Saint Realm cultivators, follow me as we guard the gates!”
