Seeing no reaction from the two, “Blood-Red Bai Zhirou” maintained her faint smirk and continued her enticement, “Come...”
Before she could finish, Jiang Ye pointed right at her nose and started cursing,
“Who the hell do you think you are, trying to teach me how to play the game?! I'm the veteran player here! You're absolute trash!”
Blood-Red Bai Zhirou: “???”
This script is all wrong! Can't this guy even empathize with his past self?!
With a muffled thud,
“Blood-Red Bai Zhirou,” who was still striking a pose, suddenly exploded.
Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow. “Oh, did she really blow her top from anger?”
Bai Zhirou rolled her eyes in speechlessness. Why was this guy's focus always so bizarre?
The countless “Xiao Bais” from the explosion instantly turned into tangible strands of fierce killing intent, sweeping toward the two like a storm, intent on directly wiping out their divine sense and corrupting them into bloodthirsty lunatics.
The enticing demonic voices pierced their minds, giving both of them a splitting headache.
Jiang Ye's temper flared completely as he let out a furious roar:
“Fuck your mother! You're something I already slaughtered—how dare you jump out and bark!”
“Get the hell out of here!!”
In an instant, the blood-red storm ground to a complete halt, then rapidly receded like mice seeing a cat.
It was as if it were greeting its true king.
The final voice of “Blood-Red Bai Zhirou” echoed from within the storm:
“Hehehe, you've got some spirit. Then I'll temporarily let you try controlling my power.”
Jiang Ye sneered, “You're still fucking acting cool, huh?”
Bai Zhirou: “...” Seeing him curse at himself made her feel much more balanced. So Jiang Ye was like this to everyone, including himself.
It seemed he was quite simple after all... simply lacking any manners.
The blood-red storm compressed rapidly, condensing into an illusory blood-red miniature sword that quietly hovered before Jiang Ye.
...
On the mountain peak in the outside world.
The golden-red thunderclouds in the sky grew increasingly solid, red as if ready to drip blood.
Yet “Bai Zhirou” remained half-kneeling in the massive crater, seemingly passed out completely. The six pill bottles Nangong Yue had “airdropped” hovered quietly in front of her.
Midair, the True Disciples of Sword Peak anxiously sent voice transmissions to Bai Zhirou over and over, trying to awaken her.
The seven disciples pinned to the ground laughed even more arrogantly, looking like they had gone mad:
“So what if her natural talent is extraordinary?! She's still going to die under the heavenly tribulation!”
“Yeah! She's not even as good as us! Hahaha!”
Even though their voices were extremely grating, no one dared to intervene in the heavenly tribulation.
Just as all eyes were focused on the thunder tribulation and Bai Zhirou, the Azure Mystic Sword hovering at the center of the Sword Heart Platform suddenly dimmed slightly before swiftly restoring its glow.
At the same time, BOOM!
The Meteorite Greatsword lying to the side rose into the air on its own, standing firmly beside Jiang Ye.
The entire audience was shocked.
A sword spirit protecting its master?! Has the sword spirit inside this Spirit Tool actually awakened its self-awareness?!
Greed burst from the eyes of the seven disciples. As long as Bai Zhirou died completely, the greatsword on the field would become ownerless! When that time came, whoever had the ability would claim it!
Right at that moment, Jiang Ye's tightly shut eyes snapped open!
A sky-soaring murderous aura swept across the entire field in an instant!
The air on the mountain peak suddenly grew thick. Disciples with weaker cultivation found it difficult to breathe, feeling as if they had plunged into an ice cave, instinctively retreating in panic.
Their hair stood on end, feeling as though they were being targeted by a primeval beast.
Midair, the sect higher-ups stared intensely at the faint crimson glow emerging on “Bai Zhirou's” body, their expressions changing drastically.
An elder spoke with a dry voice, “Th-This is manifested sword intent?! How is that possible? Only Golden Core cultivators can achieve that!”
Another elder gasped, “Such dense killing intent... J-Just how many people has she killed?!”
Nangong Yue's tightly knit brows finally loosened, a spark of brilliance flashing in her eyes as a look of realization appeared on her face.
The seven lying on the ground obviously had no idea what was going on, assuming only that “Bai Zhirou” had awakened, and taunted loudly:
“So what if she woke up? She's still going to die.”
“Rather than being struck to death alive, dying while unconscious would've been better—at least it wouldn't hurt, hahaha...”
Jiang Ye looked up indifferently at the thunder tribulation in the sky.
With his left hand, he scooped up all the pills hovering in front of him and dumped them into his mouth at once, while his right hand smoothly gripped the greatsword floating beside him.
BOOM—!! A deafening crash echoed!
A combined golden-red heavenly lightning bolt, a full circle thicker than before, crashed down with a destructive force!
Buzz—!
At the exact same moment, every sword at the hips of the crowd—including the tens of thousands of weapons on the Sword Heart Platform—emitted a collective hum.
【Killing Sword Intent】 unleashed.
Jiang Ye's violent spiritual energy instantly calmed down, as if all sound between heaven and earth had been drained in a single moment.
A blinding crimson glow erupted from atop the Meteorite Greatsword.
Stacked with a High-Grade Earth-Grade sword technique.
【Sword Cleaving Mountains and Rivers】!
Jiang Ye once again slashed upward against the sky.
The originally golden energy greatsword instantly turned blood-red, completely covered by the terrifying 【Killing Sword Intent】.
BOOM!
A deafening roar tore through the vast sky!
The golden-red heavenly lightning collided violently with the blood-red greatsword. The blood sword paused for only a split second before slicing through the lightning from head to tail!
With undiminished momentum, the sword qi soared straight into the clouds.
A single sword cleaving the heavens.
It sliced the entire thick tribulation cloud cleanly in two!
The shockwave of energy from their collision swept across the field, making the mountain peak tremble violently. Countless Dharma Boats and figures in the sky were blown back several zhang before barely regaining their footing.
The crowd present was so struck by this scene of a single sword cleaving the heavens that they were rendered speechless.
The seven disciples, who looked as though they had lost their minds, nearly twisted their necks, their eyes bloodshot as they stared at the scene in utter shock.
While the outside world was gripped by shock, an earth-shattering transformation was taking place inside Jiang Ye's sea of consciousness.
Deep within the chaotic sea of consciousness, a tiny sprout of translucent green light quietly emerged.
The void suddenly exploded with tens of thousands of zhang of golden light, turning into a boundless golden ocean.
A green lotus slowly sprouted from the chaotic void, its roots sinking deep into the golden ocean!!
This was 【Chaos Planting Green Lotus】!
Immediately after, jade-colored lotus petals slowly unfurled. In an instant, all thirty-six lotus petals bloomed!
It was actually the 【Thirty-Six Grade Chaos Green Lotus】!
This phenomenon broke through the barrier of his physical body from his sea of consciousness, manifesting in the world!
An illusory green lotus tens of thousands of zhang tall reflected across the firmament, its azure radiance cascading for ten thousand li with shifting gold and jade lusters, hovering quietly above Jiang Ye's head.
Right at that moment, Jiang Ye snapped his eyes open, took a step forward, and gave a sinister smile to the seven disciples below:
“All along the way, your taunting voices were really loud. They almost...”
“...shattered my will!”
Before his words faded, the spiritual energy of the entire secret realm transformed into a visible vortex, surging frantically into Jiang Ye's body and getting refined in an instant!
Inside Jiang Ye's sea of consciousness, the Thirty-Six Grade Chaos Green Lotus seemed to reach maturity, slowly floating up to hover above his mental domain.
Lightning flashed across his entire body as his physical body, blood essence, and true qi fused into one.
The 【Flawless Dao Base】 was complete!
The seven people pinned to the ground trembled violently in terror. Under the immense pressure, they could not utter a single word.
Jiang Ye curled his lips, looking at the seven with playful mockery. He was no saint; forgiving them was a job for saints. He was only responsible for sending them to meet saints. After listening to their barking for so long, it was time to put them... on permanent mute.
He condensed his divine sense and took another step forward, levitating into the air and crushing down with the might of heaven and earth.
Thud! Thud! Thud! ...
Seven muffled thuds rang out in succession.
The seven instantly exploded into mists of blood.
The entire field fell into absolute silence.
The sect higher-ups and True Disciples were all dumbfounded.
Of course, it was not because of the seven-member group who had just gone down to “enjoy their blessings,” but because of the world phenomenon triggered by Jiang Ye's breakthrough!
High above, Song Changfeng and Nangong Yue stared intensely at Wei Zhaoyuan and Sun Qiming, guarding against the two Peak Masters suddenly launching an attack.
The two Peak Masters looked utterly speechlessly back: Why are you looking at us? Do we look like idiots? Why would we offend a monster of this level for the sake of a few mediocre, stupid disciples?
In the crowd, someone finally spoke while trembling:
“What kind of phenomenon is that?!”
“Foundation Establishment! It actually triggered Chaos Planting Green Lotus!”
“The legendary Flawless Dao Base! Ancient scrolls record that only a Dao Base completely free of flaws can give rise to such a peerless phenomenon!”
Suddenly, the expressions of the Sect Master and the three Peak Masters changed drastically. They simultaneously cast hand seals to stabilize space, because the colossal green lotus phenomenon had nearly shattered the secret realm.
Song Changfeng's voice trembled as he spoke slowly:
“Looking at the power of that Chaos Green Lotus... could it have twenty-four lotus petals?!”
“Such a peerless genius is a once-in-a-millennium rare occurrence!”
The three of them nodded simultaneously, then turned their burning gazes toward Nangong Yue.
Before, although “Bai Zhirou” had shown monstrous talent, as Nascent Soul powerhouses, who among them hadn't been a genius in their youth? There was no need to shamelessly go fawn over recruiting her.
But now it was different. Just looking at the world phenomenon triggered by “Bai Zhirou,” they knew she probably wouldn't even be able to sleep at night—after all, with a future so bright, who could sleep?!
Sensing the trio's intent to poach her disciple, Nangong Yue glanced at them expressionlessly and uttered four words:
“Not happening. Forget it.”
The three: “...”
