Chapter 7172 Heaven's Peer Divine Vajra

This sword came out of nowhere and without warning. By the time that people noticed it, it had almost reached Long Chen’s back.

Countless startled cries rang out. The sword was silent at first, but just as it was about to penetrate his back, it erupted with the power of a Heavenly Sovereign. This was another terrifying being that had touched the Heavenly Sovereign realm, and yet again, someone with this level of power was choosing to sneak attack a Sovereign Lord.

Sparks flew. The Heaven Flipping Seal managed to block this attack at the critical juncture, but the immense power behind it still slammed into Long Chen; he was sent flying and spitting out blood. He turned around as he flew, only to see that sword mysteriously vanish back into the void.

“Lifehunters again? I’ll remember this!” Long Chen looked toward where it had vanished with a sinister expression on his face. The Lifehunter race had somehow reappeared; furthermore, this was an assassin on Ying Luo’s level, not only adept at hiding but also extremely powerful. In addition, the timing of this attack had been perfect. Had it not been for Long Chen’s sharp perception, someone with such high-level skill in assassination would have long since taken his life.

“Since you all want to die so badly, I’ll fulfill your wish!”

The palace master let out a furious roar. He was truly enraged this time. He had not expected their enemy to be so shameless. His massive body caused heaven and earth to shudder. Suddenly, he opened his dragon mouth. A sharp sword flew out.

Xuan Jizi was instantly blown apart by this sword, and it continued to tear through the void as it circled back to the palace master.

A moment later, Xuan Jizi seemed to reform somewhere in the distance. He yelled in horror, “The High Firmament Divine Sword!”

He hadn’t expected the palace master to be carrying the High Firmament Divine Sword. If it hadn’t been for his death substitution avatar, he would be dead right now.

“Dragon Blood Heavenly Ignition! High Firmament Sword Light!” roared the palace master, and the sword suddenly radiated millions of streaks of sword-light. Every single one of them had a black dragon mark on them. The surrounding space was instantly locked down. The palace master was clearly enraged and had instantly forgotten the sweeping elder’s warning. He was dead set on killing everyone who had attacked.

Long Chen waved his hand, returning to the academy’s disciples. They gathered atop the two curse vortices.

This curse energy was something even a half-step Heavenly Sovereign like Li Yifu was very wary of; thus, this was the safest place on the battlefield. The Demon Moon Cauldron, the Heaven Flipping Seal, Lei Linger, and Huo Linger appeared and locked down the area, and Zi Yan and Miao Yin also focused on defense. The palace master was so enraged that he wouldn’t calm down without a proper slaughter. If his targets couldn’t escape, they might try to drag these disciples down with them.

As the sword-light ravaged this area, six figures were forced out of the void. Other than Li Yifu, Xuan Jizi, the Lifehunter expert, and the one who had just been injured by the palace master’s tail, there were two other figures. One was a giant monkey, while the other was a figure cloaked in the aura of death and decay.

“Heavens, all of them have touched the Heavenly Sovereign realm!”

Zhao Yue and the others were stunned. It seemed that these terrifying people had been watching all this time while they were fighting.

“If I’m not wrong, the one that the palace master injured should be the Corpse Devil Sect’s patriarch, Yan Xingtian. The monkey is the Heavenly Demon Golden Crystal Monkey race’s ancestor, Ying Feng. The fellow wreathed in black qi is the Underworld Ghost Gate’s founder, Gui You,” said Miao Yin heavily.

It went without saying that Miao Yin’s information gathering ability was incredible. Other than that Lifehunter expert and one other, she recognized them all.

“They really were willing to put in the capital this time. They sent so many of their talented disciples to their deaths. Was it really just for the karmic luck dragon manifestation?” Zhao Yue looked at Long Chen curiously. Although the karmic luck dragon manifestation was undoubtedly alluring, it wasn't enough to drive them this crazy. If they lost all their disciples, what was the point?

“I doubt it. I’d say Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect promised them something even more enticing than the karmic luck dragon manifestation,” said Long Chen.

Everyone was startled to hear that. “What is it?”

Long Chen shook his head. “I don’t know. But I would guess it is related to the Heavenly Sovereign realm.”

Miao Yin and Zi Yan suddenly realized that all these people were existences that had just barely touched the threshold to the Heavenly Sovereign realm. Their power was around Ying Luo’s level, maybe a little stronger, but still a level below Li Yifu, who had managed to take half a step into this realm. Now Long Chen’s guess made them think of a shocking possibility.

“Young Master, are you saying that the Heaven's Peer Dao Sect has a way to help them become Heavenly Sovereigns?”

Miao Yin found that hard to believe. If they really had that kind of power, then the Heaven's Peer Dao Sect was truly unmatched. Who would possibly be able to fight them in the future? But if they didn’t have it, why would so many powerful forces be willing to gamble everything on this battle? Other than this, what could drive these old monsters so crazy?

Sword-light continued to fly through the air. The palace master’s enormous dragon form was burning intensely. In his fury, he had unleashed the High Firmament Divine Sword’s power, and even with all six of them working together, they were only able to defend.

“Heavens, the High Firmament Academy is terrifying! This guy is a monster!”

“He’s only just touched the Heavenly Sovereign realm, but he’s already so powerful!”

“Well, after all, he’s in control of the High Firmament Academy’s core treasure, the High Firmament Divine Sword!”

“It seems he really is angry. He wants to kill all six of them. The entire human race is going to be affected!”

The spectators felt mixed emotions. For things to develop like this, with no room for negotiation or mediation, many things must have happened behind the scenes that they had no knowledge about.

The sword-light rapidly constricted the six defenders. Even with them unleashing all their power, they were now covered in blood. Only now did they realize just how terrifying the High Firmament Academy’s core treasure was. Even with their power, they knew they wouldn’t last more than a few breaths.

But just as the six of them thought they would be cut to pieces, an icy voice rang out. “The High Firmament Academy is truly brazen! Do you really want to kill everyone?!”

A massive golden vajra[1] suddenly tore out of the void with supreme Heavenly Sovereign might. It slammed into the sword-light formation created by the palace master.

“Heavens, it’s the Heaven's Peer Dao Sect’s core treasure, the Heaven's Peer Divine Vajra!”

1. The vajra is a sacred ritualistic tool used in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It has a number of uses and meanings, but in general, it symbolizes the properties of a diamond (indestructibility) and lightning (irresistible force), and represents firmness in body and spirit alike. ☜
