Chapter 1729 — Bloodbath at Jade Cliff Pass
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 6
Behind each of their heads, celestial palaces leapt forth—these were the Imperial Throne powerhouses among the thirty-nine lords of the Southern Heavens!
Among the Southern Heaven lords, Imperial Throne powerhouses were not few. Though several of these Imperial Throne realm beings had died in the Southern Sea battle, the chaos of the battlefield had allowed them to escape. Qi Xiayu, the Red Emperor, the Bright Emperor, Yanyu, and the Southern Emperor had fewer troops and, to maximize enemy casualties, had chosen to annihilate the enemy's living strength as much as possible, devouring their forces bit by bit—and thus these few had slipped away. These Imperial Throne powerhouses charged up Jade Cliff Pass. This was now the period of the First Ancestor Human Sovereign's greatest weakness. He was simultaneously contending against a million divine weapons, under immense pressure, his defenses empty.
If they closed in and surrounded him, he would absolutely perish on the spot in a single instant! The First Ancestor Human Sovereign stomped his foot heavily, and his divine ability shifted. "Heaven collapses, earth sinks, the sad autumn wind! " His divine ability erupted.
With himself as the center, space collapsed inward toward him.
The million battered divine weapons madly converged, colliding violently, smashing into a massive iron ball of divine weapons before him!
The First Ancestor Human Sovereign held this iron ball of divine weapons in both hands and pushed it toward those dozen-plus Imperial Throne powerhouses! The Heaven-Earth Seal Method, Twenty-Sixth Heaven: Can Move Mountains, But Not the Will! His Dao realm erupted.
His unshakable will was contained entirely within this one strike!
The dozen-plus Imperial Throne powerhouses were deeply shaken.
Though they too were of the Imperial Throne realm, the First Ancestor Human Sovereign's strike contained Dao realm—closer to the Dao than they, the power of his divine ability was greater!
"Thankfully we have numbers on our side! " The Grand Venerable Divine Marquis roared, and the dozen-plus Imperial Throne powerhouses simultaneously unleashed their divine abilities, blasting at that iron ball of divine weapons!
Both sides' mana surged to the utmost.
The massive iron ball formed from a million divine weapons instantly warped; countless weapons were shaken apart by the immense force—breaking, shattering, melting! BOOM!
The iron ball, heated red-hot by the power of the divine abilities, exploded. A sky-full of molten divine gold and divine iron spread like a great curtain across Jade Cliff Pass.
The dozen-plus Imperial Throne powerhouses were momentarily checked.
The First Ancestor Human Sovereign staggered back. Just then, a streak of sword-light pierced through the great curtain of molten divine metal, and the Sword Dao Heavens unfurled!
Shua, shua, shua—sword-light rippled, carrying golden molten metal and iron like a tide surging forth, one wave barely subsiding before another rose within his sword-light! The Village Chief strode forward with his sword.
Though his cultivation was not high, his mastery of the Sword Dao was exceedingly profound. His very first strike was the Sword Dao's Thirtieth Heaven!
Years ago, before his retirement, he had already been a Sword Dao True God. At the Divine Bridge realm, he could stand firm against True Gods of the Southern Heaven Gate realm without defeat.
His Sword Dao was even named after his sword diagram; even then, his Dao realm had already been the Sword Dao's Tenth Heaven. In recent years, with the Jingping Reforms, he had presided over the Hall of Hearing the Dao, and had been tempered and honed by the Founding Emperor. His mastery of the Sword Dao had grown ever higher!
