Chapter 1022: Why Let You Off?

“Master of the Thirty Three Skies, the Emperor of all people! The Ruler of 10,000 Celestials? How preposterous…”

The Golden Pagoda below was still shaking and rising up. That White Bone Hammer broke free from Taishi’s hands and smashed down like white thunder.

This strike exploded out really suddenly but it was thousands and even 10,000 times stronger than Xingya’s black colored blade.

The moment it flew out, it totally disregarded the distance.

At the same time, numerous streaks of Spiritual Light gathered from all around and wrapped beside the Giant Hammer, lowering the speed of this treasure.

Although it was unable to stop its momentum, it helped to restructure the space laws around it to make the trajectory of the hammer visible.

Closely after, a dragon-shaped Sword Energy surged over. A consecutive nine strikes right onto the White Bone Giant Hammer… It caused the speed to reduce once more and moments later it smash towards Zong Shou’s head.

After the few blocks, the nine-layer Golden Pagoda floating behind Zong Shou’s head flew up in the air and spread out a layer of light.

The Giant Hammer smashed onto it, causing the nine-layer pagoda to shake slightly. The layer of light that spread out also started to crack but it was unable to injure Zong Shou at all.

The people here all looked towards Dragon Shadow who stepped out to the 23rd layer of the Golden Pagoda in shock.

Even at this moment, Dragon Shadow, who had entered End Realm less than 10 years ago, actually had excess energy to block a strike from Taishi.

They couldn’t help but be impressed by this Martial Path Sword Saint who had roamed for 1,000 years since the End Cloud Desolate Era and had never lost.

Taishi broke out into a laugh, a vast Spiritual Sense spread out towards where the tribulation clouds gathered.

His target had been Wei Xu from start to finish, the weakness of the Seven Swords! Xiuguan had to protect Zong Shou which was why he wasn’t able to fully take care of him…

Without using much strength, he just needed to slightly interfere and he might be able to cause the strength of the tribulation to increase.

No matter what, he had to give it a shot.

He held three black needles in his hands, but before he was able to flick it out, things suddenly changed once more.

He suddenly saw the Guangxuan Sword which had the weakest aura suddenly turn strong. The sword ring slowly caught up to that of the five swords. It rose up and down, resonating with the others, like a majestic musical piece.

The chaotic scenes caused by the tribulation light in the distance also calmed down.

One could see the scenes of that person holding the Blood Moon Blade clashing with Wei Xu.

Taishi was stunned and didn’t shoot the three black needles. At this moment, Wei Xu was in a far better situation than he had expected.

Although he was still in danger, it was obvious that he still had much excess strength while facing his tribulation to block that Blood Moon Blade.

Reflecting 3,000 images of himself around, causing the person holding the blade to be unable to deduce where his true self was at.

At this moment, if he shot out the needles, although he would be able to let Wei Xu take a huge loss, he would definitely have used up all of his trump cards. When the time came, he would not have enough ability to change the situation.

This Wei Xu fought the Blood Moon Blade alone, faced the End Realm Tribulation and could still control the Guangxuan Sword. He actually had such ability…

Then, he felt that it wasn’t right. In the next instant, he heard the voice which came out from the gaps of Wushang Yuan Lord Li Biexue.

“That kid! Although the God Refined Sword hadn’t fully recognized him, he could still control the sword!”

More accurately speaking he was controlling the Sword Formation!

He was using the God Refined Sword to control the cycle of the Sword Formation, to mediate Yin and Yang, and control the Energy Meridians.

It caused the entire Common People’s Sword Formation to stabilize, slowly showing signs of merging into one. It even looked stronger than when the fake God Refined Sword was used.

He could even sense that Zong Shou was leading the energy to inject the power of the formation over to Wei Xu.

Such that his energy was recovered and he also forcefully cleared out the blocks within his body.

Under the huge power, it even allowed Wei Xu to have excess strength to go up against the Blood Moon Blade while he went through the tribulation!

The Golden Pagoda headed up another nine layers and into the 18th one before stabilizing once more.

At this point, the hearts of the people on the 31st layer had sunk to the bottom.

The Golden Pagoda was still okay, it helped the Illusionary Golden Pagoda complete the new core of the formation. It was firmer and their sealing ability was much stronger.

In the past, it was able to suppress 30% of their strength, but now it was 5% more. It was not enough for them to feel much threat.

However, that sword that could already start to control the Sword Formation made all of them astonished.

Before this sword was even used, it caused the entire Common People’s Sword Formation to have its own core.

It was just half a set of a Sword Formation and had such strength. What if the entire set was completed?

Qingxuan sighed and once again looked towards Xiuguan. There wasn’t the delight and glee from before, instead, it was a dejected and dispirited look.

“Brother Xiuguan, why don’t both sides end like this today? We can swear on our souls that as long as your Common People’s Path retracts this Ten Thousand Celestial Formation, then we won’t attack or hurt anyone, and we will leave immediately…”

At this moment, only people who were most familiar with Qingxuan could hear the intense unwillingness in his voice.

He waited for thousands of years to bait Wei Xu to go through his tribulation and also forced Xiuguan to have to use the formation in defense. He also spent much effort to mediate and invite so many End Realm cultivators to work together.

However, at the last moment, this sudden change caused everything to fail.

After that feeling of unwillingness was helplessness

At this point, both sides were at a standstill. They were like two Martial Path Experts who were competing in internal energy.

Whichever side relaxed first would give rise to a catastrophic outcome and they would be totally smashed into pieces by the other.

This was why even if they wanted to retreat they had to get Xiuguan’s approval.

When Taishi heard this, although his expression didn’t change, the green veins on his neck exploded out.

Zhu Zi frowned and kept silent. While Yuanjiang scoffed coldly.

However, no one spoke. Everyone could see that even if that Tanqiu couldn’t fully grasp the God Refined Sword, both sides were on equal levels.

Even if they could win, they would have to suffer heavy losses.

With their four sides working together, their strength was far above that of Common People’s Path, so there was no need to fight to the death here.

Planning carefully, there might still be a chance in the future. To fight now was not worth it.

If they could end it peacefully today, then even if they lost their face today, the outcome was still acceptable.

Xiuguan kept silent, he gazed at the entire Vast Habitat and then finally at Zong Shou.

He stared for a long while and then he laughed, “I originally wanted to say that it is your wishful thinking. However, thinking about it, I should give you some face. Your words might be possible but give me a reason. Since I have a chance to leave three to five of you here today, then why must I let you off?”
