Chapter 436: Chapter 352 White Tiger Seven Killings (Subscription Requested)

"Escaped?"

In the midst of Chaotic Sword Reef, Fire Dragon, with a hint of surprise, watched the scene within the Qiankun Mirror.

Ordinarily, Cultivators at the middle stage of Nascent Soul had a hard time completely annihilating those at the early stage.

Damaging their Magic Body was already considered a great victory.

However, Taibai Sword Immortal was clearly different. With the application of a secret treasure like the "Nascent Soul Restriction Net," it was entirely possible to utterly eradicate True Monarch Baibao, leaving no chance for the Nascent Soul to escape.

"Of course, we have to let the enemy’s Nascent Soul escape. Otherwise, how would the message spread?"

"What’s more... knowing that Taibai Sword Immortal is unable to annihilate the Nascent Soul Spirit Body, those True Monarchs will feel at ease falling into the trap."

Fang Xing was quite emotional. "Prepare yourselves, the White Tiger Seven Killings Sword Formation is about to receive guests..."

...

Upon a piece of reef devoid of any vegetation.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch sat cross-legged, his features time-worn, wearing a tall crown and draped in a black robe.

He appeared to be around forty years old, with thin lips and eyes like bottomless darkness.

At this moment, the True Monarch directed his gaze toward another place.

"Yu Xue, fellow Daoist, long time no see."

With a voice indistinguishable between male and female, a figure clad in white, seemingly enveloped in mist, drifted into view.

Their presence was elusive, also a great True Monarch at the late stage of Nascent Soul.

"Xu Yun, fellow Daoist, have you brought the item?"

Yu Xue True Monarch’s voice was magnetic, laced with a captivating demonic power.

After all, he was the Great Hall Master of Yu Hua Hall, famed in Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World with the ’Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Ability.’

"Of course I brought it. If Taibai Sword Immortal knew that two great True Monarchs like us were teaming up against him, he would feel incredibly honored," chuckled Xu Yun, the Great True Monarch.

"Just received a message from Baibao – they have located Taibai Sword Immortal... His Magic Body is destroyed, Nascent Soul fled, and they have taken the chance to cast a tracking secret technique onto Taibai Sword Immortal," Yu Xue Great True Monarch began, "What’s your take?"

"The play might have been overdone," Xu Yun, the Great True Monarch, replied with a light laugh. "The Killing Sword Lineage is bloodthirsty and murderous, but they do not kill indiscriminately... Taibai Sword Immortal is now at the middle stage of Nascent Soul. To take the risk and strive for the late stage of Nascent Soul for the greater fortunes a few years from now... He only has a few tactics at his disposal. Considering the current situation, the most likely is the ’Nine Sons Mother Divine Infant Sword Refining Technique’... If this speculation holds true, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs who take action will suffer heavy losses."

"If the useless die, then they die... I’ve already manipulated a few True Monarchs in my hall, in case Taibai Sword Immortal really deploys the Refining Sword Secret Technique, he will have to face the consequences."

Yu Xue Great True Monarch sneered.

It seems they had a thorough understanding of the various secret techniques of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect.

"Good, good, hindering his promotion is only one part of our goal, and it would be best to capture him alive... The Killing Sword Lineage is passed down to only one person per generation, with minimal expenditure on various treasures, which means he might still have a fifth-level ’Void Escape Talisman.’ Once activated, it allows for immediate transfer billions of miles into the Void – even a God Transformation Venerable would find it difficult to pursue."

"I’ve already borrowed the ’Mountain River Map’ secret treasure from Wuji Palace; it may come in handy at a critical moment!" Xu Yun Great True Monarch said.

"Excellent. You managed to capture the successor of the Thunder Sword Lineage last time; if you achieve another merit this time, you’ll certainly advance before me regarding the order of opportunities to achieve Divinity Transformation. I have not yet congratulated you, fellow Daoist."

Yu Xue Great True Monarch offered his congratulations.

"Ha ha... We both are merely outer forces of Wuji Palace; when it comes to exchanging for the chance at Divinity Transformation, we will surely be ranked after the core Nascent Souls of Wuji Palace. We should still encourage each other and strive together," thought Xu Yun, Great True Monarch inwardly, while his face revealed the most sincere smile.

...

Several days later.

Chaotic Sword Reef.

"They’re here."

Fang Xing and Fire Dragon invigorated at once, as they saw Taibai Sword Immortal’s sword light cut through the Qiankun Mirror, heading straight toward the Sword Formation.

Following him were several chasing lights, all middle-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.

The leader among them had a leopard’s head and encircling eyes, wearing a Beast Robe, with each strike accompanied by the power of Myriad Beasts.

Another was dressed in a green robe, brandishing sword light back and forth, occasionally unleashing their Lifebound Flying Sword, fiercely clashing with Taibai’s Flying Sword – also a Nascent Soul Sword Lord!

As Sword Cultivators, they naturally coveted the inheritance of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect.

Even if they held no desire, Taibai Sword Immortal was a worthy opponent, enough to prove the culmination of their life’s swordsmanship!

The last two beams of light came from a male and female pair of early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, each controlling a unique Concentric Rings Spiritual Treasure. Together they unleashed the power equivalent to middle-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.

To Fang Xing, they were likened to Hao Yue and Huo Yun in their imitations.

"Myriad Beasts True Monarch, Green Bamboo Sword Lord, and the dual lords of Cloud and Rain... these are all renowned experts of the Outer Sea."

Fire Dragon, upon witnessing this scene, couldn’t hide his worried expression.

"Don’t worry, Taibai knows what he’s doing."

Fang Xing was completely indifferent, even finding Taibai Sword Immortal’s ’monster luring’ to be too sparse.

He had been too lazy to cultivate these past few days, casually perusing the Jade Scrolls of ’Void Flying Sword Technique’ and ’Nine Sons Mother Divine Infant Sword Refining Technique.’

The result was that he was still baffled by the ’Void Flying Sword Technique,’ unable to make heads or tails of it.

He had quite an insight into the art of sword refining, probably because the Second Nascent Soul had already gotten hands-on experience with it.

However, Fang Xing also noticed a problem.

In terms of resource utilization, the sword refining technique of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect was clearly not as good as the Demon Path’s original Devouring Infant Technique.

"But the Devouring Infant Technique leads to a hundred percent backlash and demonization in the late stage of Nascent Soul... The Nine Sons Mother Divine Infant Sword Refining Secret Technique has no such worries."

"For me, though, it’s all the same... The original secret technique of the Demon Path still suits me better."

Fang Xing now vaguely felt that due to the advancement of the Second Nascent Soul to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, the bottleneck of his Cultivation Avatar had loosened considerably.

Even if he did nothing, he feared that after some time, he would naturally break through.

"From this perspective, the Second Nascent Soul Secret Technique seems quite effective in overcoming bottlenecks as well... too bad that aside from me, no one else could allow the Second Nascent Soul to have such a large gap in cultivation with the original body without betraying..."

Theoretically speaking, in the Cultivation World now, even if there were cultivators who mastered the Great Divine Power of creating a second Nascent Soul, they certainly wouldn’t dare let the Second Nascent Soul surpass the original in cultivation.

And basically, they couldn’t surpass it either...

While Fang Xing pondered, the several Nascent Soul True Monarchs locked in fierce combat were steadily approaching the chaotic sword reef area.

Whoosh!

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs were not fools; although Taibai Sword Immortal had tried to hide the array’s qi near the chaotic sword reef as much as possible, it was hard to escape various probing secret techniques of the Cultivation World.

"Go!"

Myriad Beasts True Monarch roared, and from his Beast Robe emerged the spirits of various flying birds and beasts, including even the spirit souls of Fourth Rank transformative Great Demons.

One of them was shaped like a Thunder Roc, with wings spanning over a hundred meters.

With a slight flap of its wings, it was accompanied by wind and thunder as it charged into the chaotic sword reef ahead.

Countless flying birds and beasts came into contact with the Array Prohibitions and were shredded by sword lights.

"There’s indeed an ambush."

Myriad Beasts True Monarch formed hand seals wanting to recall the Thunder Roc.

But a heaven-reaching sword light fell, instantly slaying the Thunder Roc’s spirit.

Seeing this, Myriad Beasts True Monarch’s face suddenly darkened.

"Haha... To kill me, come into the formation."

Taibai Sword Immortal laughed heartily and flew into the White Tiger Seven Killings Sword Formation.

Sword lights surged to the sky, filling the surrounding void with sharpness.

"Indeed... as the rumors say, Taibai Sword Immortal is reluctant to leave this place for long; could it be that some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are about to emerge?"

Sword Lord Qingzhu casually waved his hand, setting up a wooden sword formation with patchy bamboo shadows around him, and watched the array with a solemn look on his face.

"Who knows... After all, he’s from the Killing Sword Lineage, a madman. Maybe he just wants to find cultivators to sharpen his sword on."

"Rain True Monarch", one of the Cloud and Rain Twin Lords, spoke up, her voice as clear and melodious as an oriole.

"That’s really possible..."

Myriad Beasts True Monarch paused, then actually nodded in agreement, "Those crazies from the Killing Sword Lineage, if they don’t slay opponents worthy of their flag every once in a while, they feel uncomfortable all over... He’s set up an array here, could it be that he is preparing to kill some mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarchs one-on-one?"

Even the most powerful Nascent Soul Sword Lords would have to flee when surrounded and attacked by several equal-level masters.

Thus, historically in the Cultivation World, it wasn’t unheard of for Nascent Soul Sword Lords to deliberately do this.

"Regardless, let’s first contact more Nascent Soul peers, then invite a Grandmaster of arrays over..."

Sword Lord Qingzhu looked at the large array and felt somewhat eager to test it.

Before long, various Nascent Soul True Monarchs arrived with more disciples in tow, using tower ships, exotic beasts, flying swords... to the chaotic sword reef.

"Everyone... the situation is as such. If we delay for too long, Taibai Sword Immortal might just leave."

Myriad Beasts True Monarch said, "Thus, we must break the array quickly! Any bright ideas from you?"

While speaking, his gaze turned to an elderly man with white hair and beard, wearing a starry robe.

This ’Star-Moving Sage’ was a Fourth Rank array Grandmaster, and though only in the early stage of Nascent Soul, his status was not ordinary.

"If I am not mistaken, this array should be the ’White Tiger Seven Killings Sword Formation’, known to be able to stop seven equal-level cultivators, extremely dangerous indeed."

Star-Moving Sage said, "If we want to break the formation quickly, I’m afraid we need more than the array’s capacity of Nascent Soul True Monarchs, forcibly entering through the various sword gates... There are seven major sword gates in the White Tiger Seven Killings Sword Formation, we need at least nine Nascent Soul True Monarchs... It’s better if they are mid Nascent Soul stage experts, to avoid direct slaying."

Upon hearing this, many early stage Nascent Soul cultivators looked at each other in dismay.

Nine mid-Nascent Soul stage True Monarchs!

Even for the first-class forces in the Cultivation World, most would find it difficult to gather so many.

In the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World, early Nascent Soul cultivators could create sects and become ancestors, and mid-Nascent Soul were truly powerful figures even in the Holy Lands.

"There are six mid-Nascent Soul peers here... The rest could perhaps be entrusted to several powerful early Nascent Soul friends. Armed with powerful Magic Treasures, they should be able to hold off for a moment in the hands of the mid Nascent Soul stage."

Cloud True Monarch, the refined young man among the Cloud and Rain Twin Lords, suggested.

"Hmm... Or, we all charge into the formation together."

Star-Moving Sage proposed, "With the power of dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs present, the White Tiger Seven Killings Sword Formation couldn’t kill fast enough, and would quickly have its foundations broken through..."

Just as Myriad Beasts True Monarch was about to agree, he received a Divine Sense transmission and immediately shook his head, "Impossible... If Taibai Sword Immortal sees too many people, he might just flee."
