Chapter 2629: Twenty-Seven Blood Holes
The Three-Combination Saber Technique was simplified from the Four-Combination Saber Technique.
Wuma Jiuxing had relied on the Four-Combination Saber Technique to reach the level of saber dao entering divinity at the Great Saint realm.
Moyi followed the same saber dao path as Wuma Jiuxing. With his profound cultivation and the defense of his saintly robe, he could even contend against a Supreme Sacred Artifact.
However, after this exchange,
Moyi's complexion turned much paler. Although he had not been struck by the opponent's sword soul, his saint soul had been injured. He realized that his opponent possessed some kind of strange power.
That power was naturally sword soul.
The Sword King struck again, the Supreme Sacred Artifact-level war sword slamming into the ground.
A rumbling sound echoed as a lightning earth dragon tore through the land within the domain battlefield, surging up from underground like an electric net, spreading outward.
The space within the domain battlefield was an independent small world.
At this moment, the ground of this small world was shattered by the power of the Supreme Sacred Artifact, breaking into pieces of continental fragments.
"Absolute Saber Dao Rule Domain."
The rules around Moyi's body completely transformed into saber dao rules. His figure flickered, dodging the lightning sword lights while seeking an opportunity to strike.
The heavy saber in his hand was an ancient divine relic left by an ancient god. Not only did it contain a vast amount of divine power, but the saber body had also nurtured some Supreme Inscription Runes.
"Slash!"
The surging divine power within the saber poured out like a heavenly river, slashing forward.
The Sword King also acted, mobilizing all his saint qi and divine qi to activate the Supreme Inscription Runes within the war sword, forming a sea of lightning.
Within the sea of lightning, hundreds of thousands of sword lights appeared, clashing with the surging saber qi and divine power.
The battle between Moyi and the Sword King stunned all the onlookers.
Among the spectators were not only cultivators from the nine worlds of the Wuji Heaven Domain but also other powerful figures who had come to watch the excitement.
The news spread quickly, shocking all realms of the Heavenly Court.
The number one expert of the Saber God Realm was Yu Ze, ranked "Red Dust Thirteenth" on the *Red Dust Peerless List*. Moyi had previously been unknown, but this battle made him famous across the world.
The Sword King of the Kunlun Realm was also obscure.
But after today, he would surely enter the *Red Dust Peerless List*, his name resounding across all realms and shaking the starry sky.
The Sword King and Moyi had already fought for several hours, yet neither could gain the upper hand.
The difference was that Moyi, wounded by the sword soul, was deteriorating mentally, his face pale to the extreme.
It must be known that saber dao cultivators valued momentum above all.
The stronger the momentum, the greater the combat power.
Moyi's momentum was waning, and if this continued, he would surely lose.
Moyi naturally understood this. So, he ignited his saint blood, turning into a man of fire. His declining momentum surged upward, the power he emitted surpassing his previous peak.
He gathered all his strength and struck his strongest blow.
"Three Thousand Avatars, Saber and Heaven United."
Moyi's body, suspended in the sky, erupted with brilliant saint light. Then, he split into three thousand forms, borrowing the rules of heaven and earth, mobilizing the saint qi of the world, and attacking the Sword King from three thousand different directions simultaneously.
The Heavenly Palace Earth Official controlling the domain battlefield changed expression and immediately released saint qi, activating the divine patterns within the glass cover.
The Sword King remained calm. The sword dao rules of heaven and earth gathered above his head, condensing into a soul shadow. That soul shadow looked exactly like the Sword King.
"Heavenly Sword Soul!"
Shang Zihong's eyes narrowed sharply.
It must be known that in the last hundred thousand years, very few cultivators below the divine realm had managed to condense a Heavenly Sword Soul. Once someone achieved this, it meant they had the potential to become the representative figure of sword dao in this eon.
How could Shang Zihong not be shocked?
What shocked him even more was that around the Sword King, countless sword shadows appeared.
Moreover, the saint swords in the hands of the saint realm cultivators of the Kunlun Realm were attracted by some force, flying into the domain battlefield and orbiting the Sword King.
"Could it be... the power of esoterica?" Shang Zihong's expression was complex as he let out a soft sigh.
"Boom!"
In the domain battlefield, the outcome was finally decided.
Moyi's saintly robe was torn apart, his saint body riddled with holes, bones exposed, as he fell out of the domain battlefield, seemingly about to shatter into pieces of flesh and blood.
Michael waved his sleeve, releasing a surge of light power, wrapping around Moyi's broken body to heal his injuries.
The Great Saints of the Saber God Realm fell into silence.
How could they have expected the Kunlun Realm to suddenly produce such a formidable figure?
The Heavenly Palace Earth Official announced, "Domain Challenge, Kunlun Realm Sword King, wins! The Golden Tree Saint Domain belongs to him."
The saints of the Kunlun Realm erupted in ecstatic cheers, shouting the Sword King's name.
Today had truly taken a turn for the better; heaven was blessing Kunlun.
In the domain battlefield,
the Sword King's body, split apart by Moyi's slash, had recombined, but he was clearly severely injured. The saint light radiating from his body had dimmed considerably.
Canghai Yishu saw that the Sword King was gravely wounded and immediately turned into a streak of light, charging into the domain battlefield, declaring loudly, "Canghai Yishu of the Saber God Realm challenges the Lord of the Golden Tree Saint Domain."
"It's Canghai Yishu again."
"A half-god, yet taking advantage of someone's weakness."
"If the Sword King weren't injured, would he dare to provoke him?"
...
Canghai Yishu had been the most active in opposing the Kunlun Realm. Many Great Saints had been severely injured or even killed by him.
The cultivators of the Kunlun Realm had long harbored a deep hatred for Canghai Yishu, but unfortunately, he was a half-god, one of the top experts in the mortal world. They could only hate him, powerless to act.
Ling Feiyu's gaze at Canghai Yishu was also filled with coldness and murderous intent.
Huo Shanhai had intended to take over from the Sword King and face Canghai Yishu, but Shi Huang beat him to it.
Shi Huang, ten feet tall with six arms, his body a green-yellow hue, flowed with six different divine patterns. Holding a Xuanhuang Saint Spear, he strode into the domain battlefield and roared, "Saber God Realm brat, this emperor will fight you."
Zhang Ruochen said, "Shi Huang, remember to stab him with twenty-seven blood holes."
"Don't worry. Since you've instructed it, there won't be one more or one less," Shi Huang replied.
Ling Feiyu was slightly moved, understanding why the blurry figure beside her had given such an order, but she didn't appreciate it. She snorted coldly, "I'm grateful that you and your friends are helping the Kunlun Realm. But don't try to curry favor with me. The grudge against Canghai Yishu will be avenged by me personally one day."
"Is that so?"
Zhang Ruochen quickly called out to Shi Huang, "Don't kill Canghai Yishu. Spare his life."
Ling Feiyu snorted again, ignoring Zhang Ruochen, her eyes fixed on the domain battlefield. She was astonished—did this Shi Huang also possess top-tier half-god combat power?
It must be known that experts like the Sword King and Moyi, placed in some of the top thousand powerful realms, could be considered the number one in the mortal world.
Such figures were rare to come by.
Could the Kunlun Realm have two of them?
If they truly did, the Kunlun Realm could not only defend the Golden Tree Saint Domain but even reclaim the twenty saint domains taken by the Saber God Realm, firmly establishing themselves in the Wuji Heaven Domain.
The significance was extraordinary.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
In the domain battlefield,
the moment the two clashed, Shi Huang gained the upper hand. Of his six arms, aside from the one holding the Xuanhuang Saint Spear, the other five either formed seals or threw punches.
After just dozens of exchanges, Shi Huang pierced through Canghai Yishu's defense with his spear, stabbing him in the abdomen.
A large amount of saint blood gushed from Canghai Yishu's abdominal cavity.
Canghai Yishu's face twisted in fury. He immediately activated a secret technique, burning his blood, causing his power to surge dramatically.
"In the face of absolute cultivation disparity, burning your saint blood is useless."
Above Shi Huang's head, six divine marks appeared.
From these six divine marks, six different divine powers erupted, bathing Shi Huang's body and boosting his combat power by a large margin.
"Pfft."
Soon after, Shi Huang struck Canghai Yishu's left leg with his spear, tearing the thigh muscles.
Canghai Yishu stabilized his injuries with saint qi, stumbling backward to create distance, gritting his teeth, his eyes filled with ruthless coldness.
How infuriating!
When had he ever been so passive in battles against Kunlun Realm Great Saints?
He knew that the gap between him and Shi Huang was indeed significant. So, without hesitation, he not only burned his saint blood but also his lifespan, raising his combat power further.
A half-god had dignity. If he lost to a Kunlun Realm cultivator today, wouldn't he be ridiculed by the world?
"Even if you fight to the death, it's useless. How much saint blood can you burn? How much lifespan can you consume?"
Shi Huang was a Xuanhuang stone, with a world nurtured inside his body.
That world was his qi sea.
Because of this, his power was virtually inexhaustible, and his stone body had formidable defense. Even if Canghai Yishu struck him with a saber, he wouldn't suffer severe injuries.
This battle lasted less than half an hour before Canghai Yishu's power rapidly declined.
"Now, it's this emperor's turn."
"Pfft!"
Shi Huang moved like lightning, trailing a long divine light tail, striking Canghai Yishu's abdomen with his spear.
The blood hole in Canghai Yishu's abdomen, which had barely healed, was shattered again.
Blood flowed freely, the pain excruciating.
After dozens more exchanges, Shi Huang seized an opportunity and pierced Canghai Yishu's abdomen once more. Blood flowed again, the area becoming a bloody mess.
Canghai Yishu's lips twitched. The physical pain was secondary, but the rage in his heart reached its peak.
Too much!
Couldn't he aim somewhere else?
A half-god's vitality was strong, and the wound on Canghai Yishu's abdomen healed at a visible rate.
"Again." Shi Huang roared.
The roar carried a powerful shockwave, capable of tearing saint souls.
Canghai Yishu thought Shi Huang would stab his abdomen again, so he quickly raised his saber to block.
A large number of saintly rules condensed into a thick shield in front of the saber.
"Bang!"
Shi Huang swung his spear diagonally, smashing it into Canghai Yishu's right shoulder, sending him tumbling and creating a crater hundreds of meters wide in the ground.
Before Canghai Yishu could climb out of the pit...
"Pfft!"
Shi Huang descended from the sky, stabbing his spear into Canghai Yishu's abdomen, pinning him to the ground.
Canghai Yishu spat blood, his heart filled with fury, anger, and pain.
Shi Huang stabbed more than twenty blood holes into his body, nearly turning him into a sieve, even shattering his skull into bone fragments, before quickly retreating.
Shi Huang glanced at Zhang Ruochen and laughed, "Twenty-seven blood holes, not one more, not one less."
Canghai Yishu's undying saint body was destroyed, but he didn't die. However, his qi sea was ruined, his cultivation severely damaged, losing any chance of breaking through to godhood.
The cultivators of the Saber God Realm were furious, but no one dared to step forward for another challenge.
Shi Huang was too strong; even a half-god had been crippled.
Even if the Saber God Realm had other half-gods and many Supreme Realm experts, no one wanted to end up like Canghai Yishu.
In lord challenges between other major worlds, to avoid escalating conflicts, they usually stopped at a certain point and didn't go this far.
But over the past month, the Saber God Realm had dealt countless harsh blows to the Kunlun Realm, so naturally, the Kunlun Realm would retaliate.
The conflict between the two major worlds had become irreconcilable.
"Great Saints of the Saber God Realm, if anyone else wants to initiate a lord challenge, feel free to step forward. This emperor isn't afraid of a war of attrition," Shi Huang taunted, shouting across the Golden River.
