System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

131: Bloody Battle of Swords, Demons Descend on the Imperial City (Part 2)The Demon Lord’s giant claw blotted out the sky as it slowly descended.

It was not a suppression of speed, but an absolute confinement of pure power levels!

Space, like solidified amber, froze Ye Chen and the other six tightly within it, making even their thoughts seem sluggish.

Their Protective Aura emitted ear-piercing cracking sounds; blood seeped uncontrollably from their seven orifices, and the aura of death was bone-chillingly cold.

”No!!!” Yan Lie’s eyes turned blood-red as he frantically burned his life essence, attempting to break free from the restraints. However, his Pure Yang Protective Aura, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, was as weak as a firefly under the Demon Lord’s pressure.

Bing Yun’s face turned deathly pale; the extreme cold Qi condensed into thick ice armor outside her body, yet it shattered inch by inch under the demonic might.

Ling Feng’s pride and joy, his speed, was completely useless at this moment, his figure pinned firmly in place.

The defensive formation composed of Shi Yue, Jin Hao, and Mu Wanqing was even more precarious, like a thatched cottage in a storm.

The gap was too vast! This was no longer power that the Earth Fiend Realm could contend with!

Ye Chen bore the greatest pressure; the giant claw’s primary target seemed to be him!

His Chaos Domain trembled violently, on the verge of collapse, and his guixu sword let out a mournful cry, as if unable to withstand this power that exceeded its limits.

His bones emitted a teeth-grinding creak, and his internal organs felt as if they were shifting out of place.

Could it be... that this is where it ends?

No!

Just at this critical moment, when his consciousness was beginning to blur, the chaos spirit pearl and the dark gold fragment in his bosom seemed to be stimulated by the extreme danger, simultaneously vibrating violently!

A surge of Chaos Qi, far purer and more primal than before, gushed out from the chaos spirit pearl like a breached flood, instantly filling his limbs and bones!

At the same time, the dark gold fragment, which had been silent all along, emitted for the first time a sharp, ancient power of order that seemed capable of judging all things!

These two forces, vastly different in nature yet belonging to the same supreme level, collided and merged with a roar inside his body, which was on the verge of collapse!

”Boom—!!”

Ye Chen only felt as if something had exploded in his Sea of Consciousness!

The Bottleneck that had been stuck at the Peak of the Earth Fiend Realm Second Layer was easily pierced like thin paper under the impact of these two supreme forces and the pressure of the life-and-death crisis!

Earth Fiend Realm, Third Layer!

And not an ordinary Third Layer!

At the moment of breaking through, his chaos primordial fetus frantically absorbed the chaos origin qi and that thread of order power, its volume expanding rapidly, its internal structure becoming more complex and profound, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi it stirred up while rotating formed a massive vortex!

His injuries healed rapidly under the nourishment of the Chaos Qi, and his aura climbed like a rocket, instantly stabilizing at the Early Stage of the Earth Fiend Realm Third Layer, and it was still slowly growing!

More importantly, his comprehension of 【Chaos Genesis: Myriad Transformation】 had reached a new height at this life-or-death juncture!

Chaos is not merely tolerance and evolution; it also contains the dialectic of ”establishing order” and ”breaking order”!

Just as when the world was first created, the clear and the turbid separated, and the rules were first established!

”I understand now...” Ye Chen opened his eyes abruptly; his left eye was clouded with Chaos, and his right eye shone with sharp gold!

A brand new Sword Intent, far more condensed and domineering than before, soared into the sky!

This Sword Intent possessed both the vastness and tolerance of Chaos, carried the annihilation and ending of the guixu sword, and incorporated a trace of sharpness and order brought by the dark gold fragment, as if it could sever all shackles and redefine the rules!

”Chaos Opens the Heavens—A Single Sword Defines order!”

He let out a hoarse roar, broke free from part of the spatial confinement, and the guixu sword erupted with unprecedented, brilliant radiance!

It was no longer the grayish Chaos color but had transformed into a primitive sword qi that seemed capable of splitting Chaos, dividing Yin and Yang, and judging the clear and the turbid!

Within the sword qi, phantoms of Chaos birth and death, star trajectories, and Law chains faintly circulated!

This strike was not aimed at the descending giant demonic claw, but at the invisible power connection and rule channel between the claw and this world!

”Shhh—!”

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a strange sound as if fabric were being torn, or as if some deep-seated rules were being forcibly altered!

The slowly descending giant claw of the Demon Lord suddenly stagnated!

The power channel connecting it to the Demon Lord’s main body was briefly severed by this sword, which contained a trace of the ”Defining order” true intent!

Although it was an extremely fleeting moment, for Ye Chen and the other six, it was already enough!

”Now is the time! Seven Stars converge, destroy the Demon!”

Ye Chen roared, and through the seven stars linkage plate, he forcibly gathered the remaining power in the other six people’s bodies, as well as their unyielding will, into himself!

Yan Lie’s scorching heat, Bing Yun’s icy cold, Ling Feng’s swiftness, Shi Yue’s heaviness, Jin Hao’s sharpness, and Mu Wanqing’s vitality... six completely different powers, under the governance of the Chaos Sword Intent, did not repel each other but instead, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, perfectly merged into that ”Defining order” sword qi!

With the support of the six people’s power, the might of the sword qi surged again, its brilliance illuminating the dim world. Carrying the faith and determination of the seven top Prodigies, it went against the heavens and slashed fiercely into the palm of the Demon Lord’s giant claw, which had momentarily stalled due to the power channel being severed!

”Aooo—!!!”

The Demon Lord’s Clone in the sky let out an earth-shattering roar mixed with pain and fury!

Its giant claw palm, condensed from pure Demonic Energy, was forcibly slashed open by this sword qi, which gathered the powers of Chaos, order, Myriad Transformations, and the seven stars, creating a huge wound deep enough to see bone!

Viscous, ink-like demonic blood, exuding a corrosive aura, sprayed down like a waterfall!

With the giant claw injured, that terrifying pressure that had imprisoned the world suddenly loosened!

”Kill!!!”

Almost the instant the pressure dissipated, the imperial forces, which had long been ready, finally seized the opportunity!

”Imperial Ultimate World-Shocking—Nine Dragons Suppress the Demon!”

A majestic roar rang out from the imperial viewing platform!

The prince presiding over the Sword Discussion rose into the air, holding a golden, brilliant jade seal!

From the jade seal, nine golden divine dragon phantoms roared and flew out, growing in the wind to become hundred-zhang giant dragons. Carrying the resplendent Imperial Dragon Qi, they wove into a golden net covering the heavens and earth, enveloping the injured Demon Lord’s Clone!

At the same time, the figure of Shadow Guard Commander-in-Chief Nangong Qing appeared like a ghost behind the Dark Hall Grand Elder, a pitch-black dagger in his hand thrusting out silently, aimed straight at his heart!

The other Shadow Guards experts, along with the Longxiang and Huben elites, also descended like fierce tigers from the mountain, launching the most violent counterattack against the Dark Hall Cultists and the Zhao family rebels who had fallen into momentary Chaos!

The battlefield situation reversed instantly!

”Retreat! Retreat quickly!” The Dark Hall Grand Elder barely dodged the fatal blow from Shadow Guard Commander-in-Chief Nangong Qing. Looking at the injured Demon Lord’s Clone and the wolf-like, tiger-like imperial forces, his eyes were splitting with rage as he let out an unwilling roar.

The morale of the Dark Hall Cultists and the Zhao family rebels collapsed, and they began to flee frantically.

Ye Chen and the other six landed on the dilapidated Sword Discussion Stage, supporting each other. Watching the Demon Lord’s Clone in the sky, entangled by the nine dragons and roaring in anger, as well as the enemies fleeing in all directions, they all let out a long sigh of relief, their faces showing the relief and exhaustion of having survived a disaster.

However, Ye Chen’s gaze remained heavy.

He looked up at the Demon Lord’s Clone and could feel that although it was injured, its core tyranny and hunger had not diminished; instead, it had become even more dangerous because of the injury.

Moreover, the severed power channel was slowly reconnecting.

This, I am afraid, is far from over.

He gripped the guixu sword in his hand, feeling the newborn power within his body and the two supreme objects that were still vibrating slightly.

The battle is far from reaching its finale.
