Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6465: None of Them Are Reliable

Even Realm Master Yuan Zheng didn’t take this matter seriously, so naturally, he never mentioned it.

Jiang Ni, too, looked confused. Although her strength was incredibly formidable, she had spent much of her time wandering the world.

She knew the least.

Now, hearing Realm Master Yuan Zheng talk about the Void Demons, she was equally perplexed.

“Could it be that such demons are hidden within the cellar?”

… “That’s possible, but to instantly kill or suppress the Three Talents, the power of this demon must be extraordinary, at least the combat strength of a peak fifth-tier or even sixth-tier Dao Lord!” said the Immortal King Bai Yue in astonishment. “If that’s the case, then why didn’t the demon act earlier? Why wait until we all left to make a move? Besides, we’ve entered the cellar before. If the demon wanted to act, why wait until today?”

“Is there a possibility that the demon only appeared because of the disturbance in the ancient tower? Don’t forget, after Jiang Ni passed through the two ancient towers, a Universe God appeared, and it disrupted some of the cellar’s formations. Could the demon have been trapped by the formations? Although its strength surpassed ours, it didn’t dare show itself because Jiang Ni was present. Once we left, it made its move?” speculated Lord Long Gong.

His words plunged the group into deep thought.

It must be said, this was the most likely explanation.

Unfortunately, they hadn’t completely guessed the truth.

But they had deduced the general idea.

At that moment.

Go to

Inside the cellar within the barrier.

Black mist surged everywhere.

The slaughter never ceased.

The battle outside had ended, but the battle inside the cellar had just begun.

Everything started when Jian Wushuang began comprehending the formation here.

At that time, he found a flaw in the formation and intended to break through.

However, at that moment, the Void Cultivators from outside suddenly rushed in.

But the strongest among those Void Cultivators barely had the strength of a sixth-tier Dao Lord, completely no match for Jian Wushuang.

With a simple command, Guardian Yunhai could easily annihilate them.

It was that straightforward.

However, just after Guardian Yunhai wiped out those Void Cultivators, the formation here suddenly began to tremble.

From the broken flaw, countless demons surged out.

They weren’t from the Divine Eye Clan.

They were Void Cultivators.

Countless Void Dao Lords poured out.

At first, only ordinary Dao Lords appeared, but soon, nearly all of them were peak sixth-tier Dao Lords.

Jian Wushuang had five Golden-armored Puppets by his side, each possessing divine power fifty thousand times stronger. Handling sixth-tier Dao Lords wasn’t too difficult, so he didn’t struggle much.

But continuing to fight like this wasn’t a solution, so he thought of leaving the place.

However, he discovered that those Void Cultivators, who had turned into mist, had condensed a barrier.

The power of this barrier kept rising, growing stronger.

In a short time, it condensed into a universe-level barrier.

Even Jian Wushuang’s full-strength attack couldn’t break through it.

His current power was too weak; his greatest strength lay in his soul consciousness.

Unfortunately, at this time, his soul will was the least useful since the barrier was an inanimate object.

Unable to break through the barrier.

He had no way to escape.

He could only grit his teeth and charge toward the Devil’s Furnace.

But before they could enter, what appeared inside the Devil’s Furnace were no longer Void Dao Lords but the Void Pinnacle.

Their numbers hadn’t changed from the Dao Lords.

In the span of a breath, dozens appeared.

The five Golden-armored Puppets were instantly shattered.

Even the Silver-armored Puppets used to form the formation were utterly destroyed, with not even a trace left.

These were his most important assets!

He had been counting on Guardian Yunhai and the others to capture Divine Eye Clan cultivators for him, but now they had all perished here.

Thankfully, Xiang Yang and Immortal Jiu Chen had been put away by him earlier.

Otherwise, they too would have fallen.

Dozens of pinnacle experts charged out simultaneously, attacking all at once.

The concentrated power was already no weaker than a Tribulation.

Fortunately, Jian Wushuang had the physical body of a Realm Beast, and despite enduring countless attacks, his body remained unscathed.

Moreover, he had the World Tree on his side.

“Demon Cloud!”

Whoosh!

The leaves of the World Tree wrapped around his entire body, and two vines coiled around Jian Wushuang’s arms.

He used the vines to continuously lash out at the Void Pinnacles.

He wasn’t aiming for instant kills but merely trying to block their attacks.

The number of Void Pinnacles was too overwhelming—there were at least tens of thousands of them.

Jian Wushuang remained close to the barrier, observing it constantly.

To his surprise, the more Void Pinnacles he killed, the stronger the barrier became.

The power within the barrier now exceeded a million units of divine power.

At the very least, it would take a Universe Master of the Six Tribulations Realm to break through it.

Even Universe Masters attacking its weak points couldn’t shatter it. Only Universe Masters of the Seven Tribulations Realm could break this barrier in an instant.

“What should I do?”

Jian Wushuang felt a bit anxious.

He revealed his true form.

Transforming into the enormous body of the Realm Beast, spanning a million miles, he unleashed the raw power of the Realm Beast to severely wound the Void Pinnacles.

He couldn’t kill them directly anymore. The more he killed, the more dangerous it became for him.

If he couldn’t break free soon, and if even more powerful Void Cultivators showed up, he would surely perish here today.

“Jiang Ni? Xiang Yang? Jiu Chen?”

None of these three seemed reliable.

Jiang Ni was still far from achieving the Dao.

She had only reached the edge of two Daos, but she still lacked the Dao of Death.

There was still a long road ahead before she could fully achieve the Dao.

It would take some time to break the restriction.

Even if she succeeded in achieving the Dao, rapidly advancing to pinnacle perfection by gathering treasures from the Ancient Domain would still not elevate Jiang Ni’s combat power to the level of a Universe Master of the Seven Tribulations Realm.

She wouldn’t be able to break the barrier.

As for Xiang Yang and Jiu Chen, these two were even less reliable—they were still in seclusion, trying to achieve the Dao.

Right now, Jian Wushuang had no one to rely on but himself.

Or perhaps he could hope for a Universe Master from the outside world to arrive.

But that hope seemed slim.

“In the end, I still have to rely on myself!”

Jian Wushuang shook his head helplessly.

He began scanning his surroundings.

Using the Demon Cloud Vine, he entangled the tens of thousands of Void Pinnacles.

He didn’t kill them, just severely injured them.

“They seem to lack consciousness?”

After a sweep of the area, Jian Wushuang noticed no significant discoveries.

However, he saw a flaw in the Void Pinnacles—or perhaps, a key factor.

“They lack consciousness, yet they can attack me with such precision?”

“There must be some kind of awareness directing them from behind the scenes!”

“If I can find this awareness, I can break free!”

Once Jian Wushuang made up his mind, he stopped running and took the offensive.

“Enter the Demon Furnace!” He moved with determination.

The two vines kept pushing aside the surrounding Void Pinnacles.

He charged toward the dark and ominous Demon Furnace.

Sure enough.

As he neared the Demon Furnace, the Void Cultivators became even more frenzied. Even when severely injured, they continued to throw themselves at Jian Wushuang in a desperate bid to take him down.

Clearly, the consciousness behind the scenes was getting anxious.

The closer he got to the Demon Furnace, the more frantic they became, which meant the entity was hiding within the furnace.

Jian Wushuang’s lips curled into a smirk, and he chuckled coldly in his heart.

“Trying to play mind games with me?”

Who was he?

The once-mighty Nine-Star Universe God—he had seen everything there was to see.

Even the most formidable deadly techniques could be easily dismantled by him.

Let alone such a minor scene.

“Get out of my way!”

Jian Wushuang swung his two vines, directly annihilating the Void Pinnacles that had surrounded him.
