CHAPTER 626: WHY NOT JUST EXPLODE?

Chapter 626: Why not just explode?

"No... no!" The gray-robed elder completely broke down.

Clutching his severed arm, looking at the scattered dry bones on the ground, then gazing at Zhang Yibai standing with his sword like a sword god descending to the mortal world, he had no fighting spirit left whatsoever.

He let out a sharp scream, transforming into a streak of escaping light, fleeing desperately toward the forbidden land entrance without any regard for consequences.

Zhang Yibai didn't even look, casually swinging his sword.

Sss—!

A condensed black sword qi shot out, easily piercing through the gray-robed elder's protective true essence and penetrating his heart from behind.

The gray-robed elder's escaping light halted abruptly, the light in his eyes rapidly dimming as his body fell like a broken sack, crashing to the ground with no more signs of life.

Reincarnation Sword Intent severed both physical bodies and divine souls.

Both flesh and spirit entered reincarnation.

But this reincarnation was controlled by Zhang Yibai.

If he didn't want these people to enter reincarnation, then they had only one path—complete soul annihilation.

The entire forbidden land fell into deathly silence.

Only the heavy panting and teeth-chattering sounds of Blood Blade True One remained.

She looked at the remains of the three Void Shattering experts on the ground.

One set of dry bones, one pile of debris, one patch of ashes.

Then looking at the sword-wielding figure who seemed to have emerged from hell, her last trace of resistance vanished completely.

"Thump!"

Blood Blade True One suddenly knelt on the ground, her face no longer showing any ferocity, only extreme fear and fawning pleas: "Spare me! Sword Master, spare me! This old woman was blind! This servant was blind like a dog and offended the Sword Master!" 𝙧À𝐍Ô𝖇Êṣ

While kowtowing like pounding garlic, she urgently said: "This servant is willing to worship you as the master of Kunlun Immortal Palace, for you to become Her Eminence. All the resources and power of the entire immortal palace belong to you, I'm willing to be your most loyal dog! I know all the secrets of the immortal palace, all the treasure vaults! As long as you spare my life, I'm willing to do anything! I beg you! I beg you!"

She rambled incoherently, tears and mucus flowing freely, just wanting to grasp at the last life-saving straw.

Though in her heart, she was actually thinking about preserving her life first, so she could have a chance to turn things around later.

If her life was gone, nothing else mattered.

Zhang Yibai slowly turned around, the Black Scales Sword shimmering with black light, not a single drop of blood sticking to it.

His icy gaze fell upon the kneeling, pleading Blood Blade True One, his eyes showing no fluctuations whatsoever, only complete indifference.

"I, your father, am a sword cultivator."

He said lightly, as if stating an unimportant fact.

As his words fell, the Black Scales Sword gently swung.

A black light flashed.

Blood Blade True One's pleading voice abruptly stopped.

The fawning and fear on her face froze as her head slowly slid from her neck, rolling to the ground.

The headless body swayed briefly before collapsing face down.

The blood blade that had drunk countless people's blood also clattered to the ground, its bloody glow completely extinguished.

Reincarnation Sword Intent eroded her body like maggots feeding on bones, and in less than two breaths, only a handful of flying ashes remained on the ground.

Zhang Yibai stood holding his sword, his robes moving without wind in the sharp sword intent.

He was slightly out of breath.

"My current cultivation is still too weak, actually used thirty percent of my true essence to kill three chickens... tsk tsk."

He stroked his chin and looked around, only now having time to properly tour this forbidden land of Kunlun Immortal Palace.

Coffins were everywhere.

Judging from Blood Blade True One's earlier actions.

It seemed all of Kunlun Immortal Palace's top fighters were summoned from these coffins?

Then the question arose.

If all these coffins were smashed, would Kunlun Immortal Palace be completely finished?

Zhang Yibai felt this idea was quite feasible.

He walked up to one coffin, about to forcefully infuse it with Reincarnation Sword Intent.

"Hey! Old Zhang, don't be afraid, I've come to rescue you!"

Chen Huaian flew through the air, hurriedly landing before Zhang Yibai.

He looked around, his eyes gradually becoming dazed.

"Wait... Old Zhang, you finished killing them all?"

Zhang Yibai nodded while carrying the Black Scales Sword on his shoulder: "Yeah, finished them all. Blood Blade True One was alright, quite durable to chop, but the other two Void Shattering experts were a bit weak, not very satisfying to cut."

Chen Huaian: "..."

Wait, is this old brother that fierce?

He came to help, but it turned out the other didn't need any assistance at all.

"What should we do with these coffins? All of Kunlun Immortal Palace's Void Shattering experts are inside these coffins..." Zhang Yibai spread out his divine sense to carefully investigate, frowning slightly: "Not just Void Shattering, there are even stronger existences."

"Great Ascension Stage?" Chen Huaian's heart jumped in alarm.

"No, not like Great Ascension, but stronger than Void Shattering." Zhang Yibai scratched his head: "The cultivation system of Earth Star's Ascenders is different from Cangyun Realm's cultivators, they should have their own realm classifications, and the effects displayed at different realms are also different from Cangyun.

For example, Void Shattering here creates domains around them.

While Cangyun Realm's Void Treading involves personally evolving miniature worlds... each has advantages and disadvantages. Earth Star's late-stage Void Shattering is weak, while Cangyun's late-stage Void Treading is strong, since evolving miniature worlds takes time and isn't as fast as Void Shattering establishing domains."

"Then what were the domains of these three?"

Chen Huaian pointed at the corpses on the ground.

"Don't know." Zhang Yibai shook his head.

"Don't know?"

"Right." Zhang Yibai sighed: "They died before using their domains. Unless you have some way to revive them? No problem, I can chop them to death again."

Chen Huaian: "Ahaha... that won't be necessary."

He also pondered what to do with these coffins.

Killing all these old monsters before they awaken would definitely be most cost-effective.

But then he remembered their previous plan.

Didn't they previously want to support Hua Jin the True One's rise to power?

Now that Hua Jin the True One was cultivating the Heavenly Demon Art, as time passed, she would gradually become one of their own, trusting him completely, doing whatever he said.

Thus, they could completely use Hua Jin the True One to turn all these unawakened old monsters into their own people.

Everyone cultivating the Heavenly Demon Art together.

Wouldn't everyone be happy together?

"So, Brother Chen, you also think it's best to blow up all these coffins, right?"

Seeing Chen Huaian silent, Zhang Yibai thought he was agreeing by default, immediately flashing a cold gleam in his eyes.

Hidden dangers should all be eradicated.

Blow them all to hell!

He raised his sword again.

"Stop!" Chen Huaian quickly stopped him, "Old Zhang, wait, these coffins still have uses."

Seeing Zhang Yibai's puzzled expression, he immediately explained his idea to Zhang Yibai.

"So that's how it is, your idea is good. By controlling Hua Jin, we're equivalent to controlling these Void Shattering and even stronger Ascenders. We just need Hua Jin's strength to surpass these coffins, so when she awakens them, she won't suffer backlash!"

Zhang Yibai repeatedly nodded, giving Chen Huaian a thumbs up.

"Brilliant plan!"

"When it comes to flexible thinking, it has to be you young people!"

Zhang Yibai glanced behind Chen Huaian, "Where are Hua Jin and Wang Shouyi? Are those two unlucky kids alright?"

"Not really a big problem." Chen Huaian shook his head with a bitter smile: "It's just that Hua Jin's limbs were crippled, originally already disabled, now her body is even weaker. Later when we want to make her stronger, we'll need to expend considerable resources..."

"Resources aren't a problem, with Cangyun Realm backing us, are we short on resources?"

Zhang Yibai sheathed his sword but still wasn't completely at ease. He directly soared into the air, slashing a sword strike toward all the coffins.

The sword light transformed into countless black rays in the air, all merging into the coffins.

"I've implanted a trace of Reincarnation Sword Intent into all the Ascenders within these coffins." Zhang Yibai descended from the air, his face slightly pale but smiling: "If there are any problems later, I can directly detonate the Reincarnation Sword Intent. Even if it can't kill them, it can seriously injure them!"

"Old Zhang, you..." Chen Huaian looked at Zhang Yibai's weakened state, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Zhang Yibai couldn't stand seeing Chen Huaian like this, vigorously waving his hand:

"Hey! Less talk, quickly meet up with Hua Jin, we still need to rescue that kid Gu Changsheng!"
