Batian Martial Soul

Ji Mingkong and Ling Bi slowly walked to Ling Xiao's side. Both of them were still pale, but their eyes were firm. They silently guarded him and prevented anyone from disturbing his breakthrough.

Ling Bi looked up at the endless darkness in the depths of the starry sky, sighed softly, her tone tinged with melancholy and worry: "Perhaps, the existence of that Heavenly Gate Barrier is not a bad thing!"

Compared to the many forces outside the realm, the Silent Realm is ultimately too weak, like an ant, with no power to resist! If it weren't for the barrier of the Heavenly Gate, the Silent Realm would probably have been invaded by powerful beings from outside the realm long ago, becoming a territory to be slaughtered at will!
Just now, if Ling Xiao hadn't risked his life to intervene, and if Gu Zheng and the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword hadn't been the trump cards, the Silent Realm would have been destroyed long ago, and all of them would have become victims of the Silent Court's powerful warriors!
Now that the restrictions have been lifted, the fate of the Silent Realm is completely in the hands of the powerful beings outside the realm. A slight misstep could lead to annihilation!
Just then, an elderly man with white hair suddenly spoke up from not far away, his voice carrying a hint of reluctance and urgency: "I'll give it a try!"

Before he finished speaking, he leaped into the sky, his spiritual power surging, transforming into a streak of light as he sped toward the dark area!

Clearly, he still yearns for the world beyond the boundary. The Heavenly Gate barrier has been broken, and the outside world is within reach. For any martial artist, this is an irresistible temptation. Who wouldn't want to step into a wider world and pursue a higher peak of martial arts?

However, just as he was about to approach that dark area, a dazzling golden light suddenly shot out from the darkness, moving at an extreme speed, giving the old man no chance to react at all!

boom!
The golden light crashed down on the old man. There was no earth-shattering struggle, no shrill scream. The old man's body was instantly swallowed by the golden light, turning into a handful of ashes that drifted away with the wind, leaving not a trace behind!

Upon seeing this, everyone in the room instantly turned extremely gloomy, and a chill ran through their hearts!
The people of the Silent Extinction Court are clearly sealing off this area, not allowing any powerful figures from the Silent Extinction Realm to step outside the boundary!
They want to completely control the Realm of Annihilation and will not allow any potential threats to exist!

Everyone instinctively turned to look at Ling Xiao, whose aura was becoming increasingly powerful.

The spiritual energy surrounding him surged like a raging river, and the signs of a breakthrough became increasingly obvious, as if he would break through the shackles and step into a completely new realm at any moment!

Just then, a figure quietly appeared beside Ling Xiao; it was Jian Sha!
She glanced at the heavily injured people in the arena, then looked up at the endless darkness in the depths of the void. Her brows furrowed tightly, her expression extremely solemn, and a trace of barely perceptible worry flashed in her eyes.

After a moment, she slowly lowered her head and looked at Ling Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged. Her lips moved, but she remained silent. However, the worry in her eyes grew stronger.

Ling Bi noticed Jian Sha's unusual behavior, so she quietly walked to her side, lowered her voice, and asked softly, "Senior Jian Sha, what's wrong? Has something happened?"

Sword Demon slowly shook his head, his voice low and heavy: "I had hoped that he could have more time to mature and become stronger before stepping into the outer realm. But I never expected that the people above would not give him any chance at all!"

She paused, then shook her head heavily, a hint of despair in her voice:
"He won't survive. It's fair to say that he has now become the common enemy of all forces outside the realm. The people of the Silent Realm only know that the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword can lead to the outside world, but they don't know its true function."

"But those outside the boundary clearly understand the true significance of this sword. In order to seize the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword, they will spare no effort to hunt down Ling Xiao to the very end!"

Ling Bi shuddered, her face turning deathly pale, and she fell silent. She finally understood that the crisis Ling Xiao faced was far more terrifying than they had imagined!
Sword Fiend continued, his voice tinged with seriousness: "If I'm not mistaken, they've probably already begun their attack on the Moon Maiden. None of the Holy Temple experts who came this time have shown themselves; they must be secretly plotting against the Moon Maiden!"

Targeting Moon Maiden!

Ling Bi's heart sank, and she instantly understood the key: why had the powerful figures outside the realm failed to seize the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword for so long?
The root of the problem lies with the Moon Maiden!
It was the Moon Maiden who had been secretly hindering the actions of the powerful beings from outside the realm, doing everything in her power to protect Ling Xiao and the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword!
Without the protection of the Moon Maiden, Ling Xiao would never have survived to this day, let alone possess his current strength!

It can be said that the Moon Maiden is the real thorn in the side of the powerful beings outside the realm!

They were well aware that the Moon Maiden was extremely powerful and not easily killed. They had already tasted defeat before, which was why they secretly plotted to eliminate her by surprise!
Throughout the scene, Jian Sha's expression remained somber, his worries barely concealed.

Ling Bi, Ji Mingkong, and the others had no idea about the situation outside the Heavenly Gate, nor did they know how terrifying the powerful figures in that world were, far beyond what these martial artists from the Silent Extinction Realm could compare to!
Especially the sanctuary!
Today, the Holy Temple is arguably the most powerful force outside the realm, with a profound foundation, numerous strong individuals, and world-destroying power in its hands, making it far more terrifying than the Silent Court!
Sword Fiend knew that Moon Maiden was powerful, but the strength of the Holy Temple was not to be underestimated either, and was even superior to Moon Maiden, after all.

The Moon Maiden is ultimately just one person; she can't fight alone. In the Holy Hall, there are many top experts comparable to the Moon Maiden, as well as countless old monsters with profound backgrounds. Once they join forces, the Moon Maiden will have no chance to resist!

Jian Sha looked at Ling Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged, his eyes filled with worry and reluctance.

She naturally didn't want anything to happen to Ling Xiao. Her lifelong goal was to help Ling Xiao become the leader of the Demon Sect and rebuild the glory of the Demon Sect. The Demon Lord Black Sky Sword was the key to the inheritance of the Demon Sect and an important reliance for Ling Xiao to become the future Demon Lord!
If the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword falls into the hands of the Silent Extinction Court or the Holy Hall, not only will Ling Xiao be in mortal danger, but the great cause of rebuilding the Demon Sect will also be completely shattered!

That was the sword of the former Demon Lord, carrying the legacy of the Demon Sect. It could only remain in the hands of Ling Xiao, the future Demon Lord, and must never fall into the hands of others!
Thinking of this, Jian Sha took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes. She looked at Ling Xiao beside her, her voice low and firm:
"I'll buy you some time so you can focus on your breakthrough. However, after this, I will completely vanish from the world. You must find the Dharma King's legacy as soon as possible to improve your strength and survive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Sha's body transformed into a dazzling white light, soaring into the sky and instantly flying to the front of that dark area.

She looked down at the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword she had just borrowed from Ling Xiao; the sword was wreathed in deadly poison and sharp sword energy… (End of Chapter)
