Volume One, Chapter 13: Want to Live? Only If Heaven’s Gate Opens Wide

“Arrogance!”

At that moment, several elders of the Enforcement Hall appeared together like raindrops falling, their terrifying pressure crashing toward Ye Wuchen like a raging storm.

“Anyone who stands against me is my enemy!!!”

Feeling the suffocating oppression, Ye Wuchen’s words echoed like thunder in the ears of everyone on Sword Punishment Peak. Some weaker disciples turned pale instantly, as if struck by a lightning tribulation, their souls trembling and bodies shaking uncontrollably.

In that instant,

Ye Wuchen’s demeanor transformed. Spiritual power surged wildly within him, his three thousand strands of hair flowing freely, his deep eyes piercing. His entire aura was like a divine sword that cleaved through the heavens, awe-inspiring and fearsome.

With a casual glance, a sharp sword intent burst forth from his eyes.

A terrifying and fierce sword energy radiated from his entire being.

His sharp aura seemed to meld with the heavens and earth, like a sword thrust into the ground.

Seeing the sword momentum on Yao Xi continuously ascend, the elders of the Enforcement Hall grew solemn. That aura actually rivaled their own level.

This was Ye Wuchen’s divine skill sword domain: The World of Swords—his world, invincible beneath the Sword King!

“In my world, I won’t let you bully me!”

A chilling sword aura exploded from Yao Xi’s body like a furious tide, expanding his surrounding domain and enveloping all the elders within a three-meter radius.

Right before their eyes, he revealed his true strength.

Instantly, he unleashed the Sword Domain—The World of Swords!

“Fall back!”

The elders were horrified, but it was too late.

In a flash, a mysterious force dragged all the elders within that three-meter space.

Their faces changed drastically.

It was an endless, vast desert, where countless swords were thrust into the ground like grains of sand forming a desert.

Among the sea of swords, one purple blade flickered faintly, seemingly with a hint of emotion.

The elders of the Enforcement Hall gazed longingly at the distant Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, their eyes filled with fear and astonishment. Their clothes were drenched in sweat. At this moment, their innate spiritual power felt imprisoned; their dantian was calm and unmoving. Their breathing grew rapid as they stared in shock at Yao Xi.

“Boom!”

A sword pool descended from the sky.

Instantly, the square was submerged in a sea of swords!

Several were pushed back by the lethal light of swords.

“This sword domain is so terrifying!”

Throughout the square, dazzling sword lights slashed through the void, shaking heaven and earth, changing the clouds and wind.

“Young one, stop at once!”

Seeing the terrifying sword intent slash toward them, cold and deadly,

One let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Their bodies writhed in pain; the sword radiance pierced through multiple parts of their flesh. If not for their cultivation reaching the Sword Sect level, they would have been obliterated without a trace.

They could not afford distraction; a single mistake would reduce them to ashes, everything lost.

Below the Sword Sect, no matter how many come, they are sent to their deaths.

“An elder is injured?”

Seeing the elder bleeding and drenched in sweat—

This is just too terrifying!

Almost instantly, everyone looked at Yao Xi as if he were a monster.

Yao Xi was too powerful!

A hundred thousand-year spiritual ring, an invincible sword domain!

Luo Qinghan is definitely framing him. No matter how strong the Sword Soul Sect’s sword techniques are, could they cultivate such a mighty sword domain?

To say he killed a spirit beast—

Now even ghosts would believe it.

And it was all because of Luo Qinghan—not only almost exposing the Grand Matriarch but also causing the Sword Soul Sect to lose a peerless genius.

“You… How can a mere swordsman possess a sword domain? How!!”

“Cough…”

The elders of the Enforcement Hall nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Their Dao hearts shattered.

Yet now, they had no choice but to take things seriously. They immediately summoned their immortal swords, each frowning deeply as they fixed their gaze on the sword energy converging from the sword domain.

Suddenly, countless immortal swords charged toward them.

The elders’ faces changed drastically; they dared not slacken. They swiftly swung the hilts of their swords, blocking the immortal swords one by one in the sky. Yet those swords seemed endless, ceaseless.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Blinding sparks burst forth in the sky.

Countless light shadows streaked across the horizon, leaving many disciples dumbfounded.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Loud explosions roared.

Suddenly, one elder of the Enforcement Hall was blasted away like a cannonball, shocking the sect’s disciples.

“That elder from the Enforcement Hall was blown away! How is this possible?”

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

“They are all at least first-stage Sword Sect cultivators. How could they be defeated by a young one who just awakened their sword spirit? This is impossible!”

“You’re wrong. The elders don’t want to bully the young. They value talent and probably don’t want to use their true power to kill her.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yun nearly cursed in anger. Value talent? Can’t you see my hands are bleeding?

Damn it, when did this traitor become so strong?

“A few old eels, is this all you’ve got?” Ye Wuchen smiled calmly, his tone disappointed.

Zhou Yun glared with eyes like copper bells at such disdainful words and flew into a rage.

“Wicked girl, submit to your punishment!”

“Form my Seven Sword Formation, kill her!”

Zhou Yun and the others wildly waved their hands. The immortal swords before them began to tremble, splitting continuously and forming new immortal swords around them amid the gazes of all disciples.

“Whoa!”

“The Seven Sword Formation is out? And they still talk about valuing talent?”

Everyone rubbed their eyes hard.

Finally recognizing the reality, the Enforcement Hall was indeed going all out.

The most shocked were those young men and women who had just returned from their trials; each of their Dao hearts shattered instantly.

All just awakened their sword spirits, so why are you so outstanding?!

The splitting immortal swords formed a formation, piercing the ground around Ye Wuchen.

With the formation complete, a special barrier space of a hundred meters radius formed around him. Any immortal sword that touched the barrier was blocked outside; no matter how they struck, they could not break through the shell-like defense.

Zhou Yun smiled coldly, “A mere swordsman dares to show off in the Seven Killing Sword Formation? Next, I will grind your bones to dust!”

“Senior! I can’t hold on!”

Yao Xi groaned painfully in his spiritual sea, feeling his skin crack in agony.

His robes were torn by the sword energy, blood-red fine cracks and scars appearing.

Ye Wuchen also sensed the threat, feeling drained and exhausted.

He had guessed these people were shameless, but not to this extent.

They utterly disregarded the Enforcement Hall’s dignity, unleashing the Peak Suppression Killing Formation against a junior.

Damn it.

This was too much.

Although his sword domain was invincible, it was a sustained damage skill requiring enormous mental effort. Facing their formation-to-break-formation tactic, he felt somewhat powerless.

“If you live to leave here today, it will only be because the Heavenly Gate opens and a divine miracle appears!” Zhou Yun sneered.

He laughed wildly, believing Ye Wuchen’s tricks were exhausted. Along with others, they fiercely countered the formation. They clearly sensed the power of his sword domain rapidly fading.

“Is that so?” Ye Wuchen sneered.

As the sword domain disappeared, the Seven Killing Formation controlled by Zhou Yun and the others suddenly erupted with unimaginable killing intent.

Wailing like the heavens weeping, countless sword energies transformed into deadly intent, sweeping toward Ye Wuchen.

Looking out,

The whole area was shrouded in white mist.

Endless killing intent flooded down.

At that moment, Ye Wuchen leapt out of the killing formation, his jade feet lightly stepping the void, drifting like a fairy from the Moon Palace.

“Hmph, you just reminded me.”

Ye Wuchen laughed in response.

He would never give up easily before the end.

With a flick of his translucent jade fingers, he removed the jade hairpin from his hair. His three thousand strands of hair cascaded like waves, pointing toward the heavens.

“With the Thirty-Six Peaks’ Long Swords present, the spirit of the stars swells and rises!”

“Today, I will open the Heavenly Gate and take you all on an immortal flight. How about that?”

At these words, the entire scene erupted in uproar.

“Damn, this young Yao Xi is already so arrogant. Imagine when he grows up! He even dares to dream of opening the Heavenly Gate.”

“Crazy! Where on earth is there a Heavenly Gate?”

“I admit you’re fierce and beautiful, but there’s a limit to how much you can brag.”

…
