The battle in the sky had not stopped.
The bustling onlookers rose again, and some emperor seeds that had not appeared for a long time showed up at this time to watch the excitement.
The emperor seeds among the formal disciples had all arrived, a total of eight, excluding the top six in the top ten formal disciples.
There were also two who were in the same batch as Chen Xia, Emperor Capital and Qiu Li.
In addition, there were four elders who had ascended to become elders watching, plus Li Yang who was secretly watching from afar.
In total fourteen emperor seeds from Blue Sky Sword Sea had arrived.
Usually it was impossible to see so many emperor seeds appear at the same time. Even if the sect master summoned them, some might not necessarily come.
Because emperor seeds were the roots of Blue Sky Sword Sea in the future, even more important than the pillars of the sect. They were the foundation for Blue Sky Sword Sea's rise.
The scene of emperor seeds appearing together was rare, because once they appeared together, they would often be intolerant of each other and start fighting and killing, battling for a while.
In the past when there were fewer emperor seeds it was fine, but now nearing the end of the great era, as the star region had a resurgence, and madly distributed fortune and opportunities.
So now was also the time with the most emperor seeds appearing.
In the last ten thousand years, Blue Sky Sword Sea alone had produced eight emperor seeds, which sounded few, but was actually a lot.
Probably in the entire star region, only Blue Sky Sword Sea had the most emperor seeds.
And the reason why all the emperor seeds of Blue Sky Sword Sea appeared together now was actually to watch one of them fight.
It had to be said, it was indeed quite interesting that a reserve disciple was fighting a Law Elder, anyone would want to watch it happen.
The golden sword intent in the sky seemed to surge another thousand kilometers again, slashing open the dense cloud layer with the momentum to split the heavens, slashing down with a clang on the blue rays of light.
The Fourth Law Elder's mouth kept bleeding, his heart beating extremely fast, this was an all out sword powered by burning his lifeblood!
The blue rays of light this time did not smash into the ground, but scraped out a ditch several kilometers long. It stamped back heavily, instantly shattered the ground a hundred meters down, bracing itself.
Chen Xia's blue robe had been completely torn to shreds, hanging raggedly on his body. So he simply ripped it off, revealing his strong physique, which had a faint hum.
It was the resonance of three million sword intents!
He stood on the ground, clenched his fist, and heavily pounded his chest. He grinned at the Law Elder and spoke words that made the Law Elder's expression gloomy.
"The warm up is over."
Behind Chen Xia, real dragons of several thousand feet soared up from the ground, even bigger than before. Thick real dragon qi shrouded over him, together with the three million sword intents, his whole body was covered in gold.
One million sword intents acted as patterns, carved all over the golden body.
Chen Xia stretched out a hand, pinching what seemed like a tiny pebble between his fingers. He pointed at the Law Elder and said lightly,
"Can you block this?"
He smiled faintly as he spoke, and flicked his crooked fingers.
Whoosh!
The tiny pebble seemed like a fine thread, slashing across the heaven and earth, shooting at the Law Elder's forehead with astonishing speed.
The pebble was already very fast, carrying rich sword intent, like an extremely tiny sword.
But there was something even faster than the pebble.
And that was Chen Xia.
His golden body moved sharply, one hand stabbed vertically towards the Law Elder's chest.
The Law Elder's expression was tense, he almost instantaneously made a judgement. There was no time to deal with the pebble about to hit his forehead, he raised the golden flying sword in his hand to block his chest.
Clang!
A huge force passed through the flying sword into his chest. Before he could even catch his breath, intense pain came from his forehead and blood flowed, his body flew back.
Luckily it was just a minor injury, nothing too serious.
The Law Elder gritted his teeth, thinking gratefully that he had avoided a catastrophe. But a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him and his heart chilled.
Chen Xia had already appeared behind his flying body, one hand grabbing his head, the other hand chopping down, rolling with sword intent, like a sharp flying sword piercing towards the Law Elder's neck.
"Three Thousand Devouring Swords Formation!"
The Law Elder roared loudly. His whole body twisted bizarrely, dissolving into the void. Then he reappeared several kilometers away.
He lowered his eyes, the golden flying sword still stuck in his chest. He spread his hands facing down and gently waved.
It was like stirring still water.
Three thousand golden flying swords hung inverted from the void, suspended over Chen Xia's head.
Each flying sword fluctuated with terrifying sword intent.
"Kill!"
The Law Elder said heavily.
The first suspended sword started dropping, aimed straight at Chen Xia's head.
Then the second, the third...
The three thousandth!
Continuously, like an endless stream of swords, the killing intent evident.
Each flying sword fully powered by an eighth layer Flipping Seas cultivator. Three thousand flying swords sent out within thirty breaths.
Chen Xia had just blocked the first sword, then was pressed slightly into the ground by the second.
Then came the third and fourth swords.
He sank deeper and deeper into the ground, blood already seeping from his arms, though his movements blocking the swords were still rhythmic, he could not block them all.
After ten breaths.
Chen Xia became a little impatient. He completely ignored the flying swords, extending a hand.
The three thousand raining swords froze in midair.
Chen Xia was holding a mottled greenish-bronze sword in his hand.
The Demigod Sword!
The Law Elder's expression was grave, he waved his hands out further, yelling louder,
"Kill!"
The flying swords in the sky sped up, falling down like rain.
It should have been an instant kill.
Chen Xia swung the greenish-bronze sword in his hand. The sky turned white, filled completely with sword intent.
After this sword, nothing was left between heaven and earth.
His hand holding the greenish-bronze sword was trembling slightly, blood slowly flowing from between his arms, the backlash from wielding the Demigod Sword.
The Law Elder fell to the ground, hair in disorder. He gritted his teeth and stood up, staring fixedly at Chen Xia.
"Impossible, a mere first layer Flipping Seas cultivator like you, how can you wield the Demigod Sword to this degree, absolutely impossible!"
For this question, Chen Xia only had one reply.
"Just innate talent."
He swung the greenish-bronze sword again, turbulent sword intent just beginning to surge.
"Stop messing around and make your move!" The Law Elder suddenly yelled loudly!
The void behind Chen Xia rippled, and a figure holding a dark dagger stabbed towards his vitals.
But before the dagger arrived, a broom swung over first.
Big Yellow Dog's eyes were bloodshot, his figure seeming illusory as he instantly stretched thousands of kilometers, barely managing to block the dark dagger.
Several kilometers away, Chi Yu also soared up from the ground, bringing three thousand flames charging over, directly knocking away that figure.
The three brothers had finally grouped up.
The blazing red in Big Yellow Dog's eyes gradually faded. Holding the broom in its mouth, it gritted its teeth and bravely warned the Law Elder,
"Don't move recklessly, my broom here has swept up shit before!"
The Law Elder glanced at it and fell silent for a moment.
If it were someone else saying this, he would definitely not believe it, but coming from a dog, he had no choice but to believe.
Chi Yu echoed from the side, "I can testify to that."
The two brothers worked flawlessly together.
Chen Xia looked at them, stunned for a moment, then objectively commented, "It's indeed possible, though you can try it out, what if it really hasn't?"
"Absurd!" The Law Elder was still fearless at this point. He first yelled, then rebuked,
"You junior offending your senior is a serious crime. And you still dare to say such disrespectful things to me. Repent now, and I may still be able to show great compassion and spare you!"
Chen Xia raised his eyebrows, looking puzzled, and replied,
"If you have mental problems I can help open up your head to take a look."
"Evil!" The Law Elder's eyes widened as he yelled again, "I am sworn brothers with the Third Elder. How dare you say such disrespectful things to me?!"
The Third Elder again?
Chen Xia frowned, and curiously asked, "Have you heard of Qiong Qi before then?"
The Fourth Law Elder coldly snorted, his aura undiminished.
"You killing Qiong Qi is already a serious crime. And now with the Curse Shackles you still do not repent. If you continue to persist in your wrongdoings, imprisonment in the Sword Sea for a hundred years will be the least of your punishments!"
Chen Xia was also unusually silent. Just as he was about to make a move, he sensed a divine sense probing over from the horizon.
It was that Third Elder.
Chen Xia stopped his actions and shook his head, slowly walking away.
This was probably the end.
The watching cultivators also sighed regretfully, not expecting that the victor would end up more stifled. They felt a bit sympathetic towards Chen Xia for a moment.
"This newcomer is so fierce, too strong! If he was born twenty thousand years earlier, he might have unified this entire star region already."
An elder who had attained emperor seed accomplishments lamented.
The first ten formal disciples in front of the ten miles were also full of astonishment, letting out a bitter laugh.
"No wonder he could kill Qiong Qi, even I feel a chill down my spine after reading this. This is too horrifying."
Emperor Capital and Qiu Li were completely dumbfounded, couldn't help but ask themselves in their hearts.
Is this really from the same generation as the rest of the emperor's seedlings?
Li Yang didn't know what to say after seeing this, remaining silent for a long time before finally kicking a pebble under his foot and uttering three words.
"Truly deranged!"
Everyone felt this matter was over. Chen Xia being able to suppress the Law Elder was already a heaven-defying achievement.
But just when everyone hadn't reacted, Chen Xia suddenly turned around, the blood-red moon hung between him and the Law Elder, instantly pulling the Law Elder into the Reincarnation Extremity.
"You dare!"
A roar came from the heavens.
The Third Elder suddenly appeared, his hands probing into the void, forcibly tearing open the Reincarnation Extremity.
But it was still too late.
The Fourth Law Elder lay half-dead on the ground, his cultivation regressing to the Realm of Moving Mountains, already wasted by half.
"Evil creature, evil creature, evil creature!" The Third Elder shook with anger, terrifying spiritual power fluctuating as he stared fixedly at Chen Xia, full of killing intent.
"I was just playing around with the Law Elder, why are you so agitated?"
Chen Xia asked indifferently.
"I'm going to behead you, you evil creature!" The Third Elder shouted, sending a terrifying aura slashing towards Chen Xia.
"Wait a moment." An unhurried voice sounded as the Old Fisherman slowly walked out, casually waving his hand to disperse the spiritual aura from the Third Elder's hands.
"Injuries are unavoidable in fights between cultivators. There's no way to avoid it, so don't be too angry."
"Indeed, I was careless." Chen Xia chimed in very politely, even nodding to the Third Elder.
"I apologize to you, I'm sorry."
Things were fine until he said this apology, which made the Third Elder even angrier, grinding his teeth and glaring at Chen Xia. "You crippled my man, and you think a simple sorry can settle it?!"
"I already apologized, what more do you want? Don't make unreasonable demands!" Chen Xia frowned.
"That's right, don't make a fuss, Little Three." The Old Fisherman also said.
He had no other choice but to take Chen Xia's side now. After all, the Law Elder was already crippled. He couldn't possibly provoke Chen Xia's displeasure for the sake of a waste.
The Third Elder clenched his fists tightly, forehead veins bulging as he pointed at Chen Xia and shouted.
"I'm being unreasonable? Let's not mention him defying his superiors and disregarding the rules. Just the fact of ambushing the Law Elder alone is enough to warrant severe punishment!"
"The law is the foundation of a sect. Now that the Law Elder has fallen, how can the sect still have a foundation and laws?"
"The Fourth Law Elder being struck down like this is an insult to the sect. Who else will look upon the Law Elders? Who else will want to become a Law Elder?!"
"Me." Chen Xia replied. "I'll do it."
"You'll do it?!" The Third Elder's eyes looked like they were about to pop out. "A disciple still wearing restraints wants to become a Law Elder?!"
"If one lying down can do it, why can't one standing up?" Chen Xia said, even kicking the half-dead Fourth Law Elder on the ground.
"Preposterous, utterly preposterous, madness!" The Third Elder shouted angrily.
"Hear me out." Chen Xia raised his hand to explain.
"This is what I was thinking. Since the Law Elder being struck down brings dishonor to the sect, why don't I become the Law Elder instead? That way, there is no dishonor, only glory."
"Makes sense, right?" Chen Xia asked around.
"Yes." Chi Yu nodded, very much in agreement.
"Too right, bro." Big Yellow Dog gave his assessment.
The Old Fisherman was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I do feel there is some logic to it. After all, strength is paramount between cultivators."
"Madness, you're all fucking mad!" The Third Elder bellowed.
The Old Fisherman frowned and slapped him on the head, swaying him. "Watch your words, Little Three. Have you not eaten enough slaps and forgotten the rules?"
The Third Elder grasped his head, unable to get a word out, only staring at Chen Xia with an expression like he had just eaten shit.
What was coming next made him feel even worse.
Half a month later.
Blue Sky Sword Sea's first triple jump disciple appears.
Chen Xia leapt past formal disciples from reserve disciple directly to Law Elder.
This was no longer disregarding rules.
This was trampling rules underfoot.
