Chapter 579: Sword Devil Bloodline!
“His potential surpasses even that of a Chaos Sovereign!”
Yet, these celebratory voices carried a tone of mounting peril.
More than a Chaos Sovereign—what next? A coup?
When the so-called Celestial Emperor appeared outside the Divine Gateway of the Celestial Court, the discerning knew it boded ill.
The Celestial Court had no need for such talents. These congratulations nearly drove Cao Sheng mad. He was beyond words, only able to silently regard Yun Xiao.
Beside him, Gu Suwan was incredulous. She muttered to herself, “If we nurture his talents…”
“Forget it!” General Cao snapped, his glare cutting her short. “What we need to consider now is how to kill him with the least impact.”
“Seven rings, the appearance of a Celestial Emperor, how exaggerated can it get?” Gu Suwan trembled inwardly, pity in her eyes.“Who knows?” Cao Sheng shook his head. “He was simply born in the wrong era. No use in pitying him.”
“Cao Sheng… Look at the Supreme General’s expression,” Gu Suwan suddenly tensed.
Cao Sheng paused, then looked over to see an old man, his eyes filled with a longing that exceeded imagination, gazing mesmerized at the azure Sword Aura.
“Let’s go with the flow,” Gu Suwan suggested.
"He shouldn\'t fall for temptation. Unless that kid can quickly ascend and become a second Chaos Sovereign immediately, he’s doomed,” Cao Sheng remarked deeply.
“That would be ideal. But still, how about we let someone else step up? Then, we can withdraw as we please!” Gu Suwan asserted seriously.
“Oh…” Cao Sheng squinted, a sinister smile forming. “Right, right, we\'ll make the Supreme General happy by giving him what he wants, and we still get to reap the benefits!”
“This is no hot potato, but truly a double-edged sword, bloody for anyone who wields it…”
Amidst the flashing lightning, human nature morphed with the dancing serpents of electricity, every member of the Thunder Department pondered their position and future in the roar of thunder.
“Did you just hear about the scandal between that boy and Cao Shuo?” Gu Suwan asked suddenly.
“At the Sword Suppression Hall, just heard." Cao Sheng nodded. He recalled his little sister talking about how the two of them tangled before too.
However, he didn\'t expect Cao Shuo to take things this far, even daring to do something so scandalous within the Sword Suppression Hall.
“She’s always been a deeply troubled child. Let her get sucked into this mess with the Supreme General. Meanwhile, we\'ll slowly distance ourselves,” Gu Suwan said earnestly.
"Indeed, she and the Supreme General are a perfect match…" Cao Sheng remarked, his eyes devoid of any warmth.
Initially, he just wanted a promotion. But now, with the emergence of the seven rings at the Sword Suppression Gate, the situation had changed. Things had escalated.
"This lad truly doesn\'t realize that he\'s become a juicy piece of celestial meat that everyone wants a bite of…"
Gu Suwan shook her head and sighed. "Such a pity, too much of a pity."
"The sweeter the flesh, the fiercer the beasts it attracts," Cao Sheng sneered coldly.
Like him, the 100 high officials of the Thunder Department watched with chilling smiles as a Celestial Emperor came into being.
Their expressions vividly illustrated what it meant to tread the dark path of cultivation!
Did talent rise and get nurtured, soaring to the heavens?
Such tales merely belonged in works of fiction in the mortal realm.
When talent rose, it was devoured on the spot… that was the reality and the norm!
For this reason, it was more common for geniuses to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens until they could secure a solid backing.
"The question is, has his Sword Prison even formed yet?"
The crowd continued to watch.
After a long while, despite the hundreds of thousands of Immortals gathered at the Grand Firmament Academy, no end was in sight!
Even the 100 high officials of the Thunder Department grew increasingly puzzled.
"What kind of Sword Soul does he possess?"
Curiosity grew among the crowd.
Many were becoming impatient!
"Haven\'t you flaunted enough? We know you\'re a Celestial Emperor, no need to show off anymore," Bai Zijun said with a cold sneer.
"Come down!"
Cold laughter spread throughout the Grand Firmament Academy.
BOOM! Suddenly, a massive thunderstorm erupted in the sky, causing all the buildings of the Grand Firmament Academy to tremble.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Then, a series of thunderstorms continued, even causing some of the tens of thousands of Thunder Department immortals to struggle to stand.
"What?"
As everyone looked up, under the flashing lightning and serpents of electricity, they were all struck dumbfounded.
Above the vast sky, the Thunder Immortal Formation quivered anew. Amidst thunderous roars, it conjured a colossal vortex of lightning!
For a moment, the entire formation seemed a combination of hundreds of thousands of electric rings, an enlarged version of the Sword Containment Gate.
Such a magnificent spectacle was a rarity even for the Thunder Department, causing even the Supreme General to furrow his brow in wonder.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The Thunder Immortal Formation whirled, each of its hundreds of thousands of electric rings spinning, creating a deafening cacophony of thunderous roars that momentarily deafened everyone. The billions of flashing lights turned the sacred land of the Thunder Department into the brightest pearl of the Great Dao Celestial Realm, lighting up half of the dark sky canopy!
"What in the heavens is happening with the Thunder Immortal Formation!!"
Just as this question arose in everyone’s minds, at the center of the formation, hundreds of thousands of electric rings coalesced into a colorful pillar of thunder, which struck down towards the Sword Suppression Gate!
BOOM! The colorful thunder pillar struck precisely at the center of the Sword Suppression Gate right upon Yun Xiao\'s Heaven Burial Sword Soul!
In that instant, the Thunder Immortal Formation amplified the Sword Containment\'s power a thousandfold!
"Exhilarating!" Yun Xiao’s furrowed brow finally relaxed.
With the aid of the Thunder Immortal Formation, his 10,000,000 layers of Sword Aura began to ease, condensing at the brink of extreme pressure into a miniature world.
This world was an azure lotus—an Azure Lotus Sword Prison!
Yun Xiao noticed the lotus core within his sword begin to tremble. The sword devil within also entered a frenzied state as it voraciously absorbed the celestial thunder from the Thunder Immortal Formation.
HUM! The sword devil manifested the visage of the Cosmic Sword Immortal. Black veins spread across his sword\'s lotus core, extending to the sword hilt, and interfacing with Yun Xiao’s own bloodstream and binding together!
In that moment, Yun Xiao’s eyes swiftly turned a dark azure, surrounded by dancing serpents of electricity.
“Kill!” Yun Xiao murmured low, his murderous intent towering as if a devil god had descended.
“Kill your butt! Just stabilize your Sword Prison, finish up, and let’s get out of here,” Blue Star quipped.
“Huff…” Yun Xiao exhaled deeply, disconnecting the sword devil’s bloodline from his palm. And so, his murderous trance dissolved.
“My Sword Prison is finally formed!”
Regaining his clarity, Yun Xiao’s heart gradually calmed.
He looked up to the sky and saw the hundreds of thousands of electric rings of the Thunder Immortal Formation finally beginning to disperse.
Looking below, the hundreds of thousands of Immortals were truly stunned into silence, completely baffled.
Previously, during the seven rings, all their malevolent thoughts and cold laughs seemed also to have been suppressed by the Thunder Immortal Formation.
“I hope they don’t exaggerate and think I formed the Sword Prison just because of the hundreds of thousands of electric rings. I wanted to keep a low profile…” Yun Xiaio thought to himself.
But then, just as he withdrew his Heaven Burial Sword Soul, the age-old Sword Suppression Gate of the Grand Firmament Academy explosively shattered…
