Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Apart from Zhou Jue, who is in the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, the Imperial Sword Sect has no other members.

Only one person came, surnamed Luo, who was at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

But at this time.

Zhou Jue unleashed his true sword control technique, and his fifth-grade mid-level flying sword moved like a swimming dragon.

He moved among the disciples of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

"what!"

Screams of agony filled the air.

Even if two mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators joined forces, they couldn't withstand it.

"Zhou Jue!"

"You intend to exterminate my Corpse Demon Skull Mountain?"

The two mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain asked angrily.

Although the five major competitions.

Fighting between disciples is not prohibited.

However, to wipe out all the disciples of a sect would be to completely break off relations.

Generally speaking, it wouldn't be so decisive.

"It wouldn't be to the point of exterminating them all."

"However, only half of your junior brothers can stay."

"Also, hand over all the Celestial Crystal Fruits you obtained."

"Otherwise, you junior brothers and sisters will be stuck here forever!"

Zhou Jue stood proudly, looking down at the people of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain, controlling the fate of everyone.

As long as he's here.

Even if everyone in Corpse Demon Skull Mountain joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for him.

“Zhou Jue”.

"You're going too far!"

The two mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators' expressions changed, and they burst into curses.

They paid a considerable price to obtain the Celestial Crystal Fruit.

Now, not only must all the spiritual fruits be handed over, but half of the disciples must also be kept.

They would be at a huge loss then.

"I won't hand it over."

"Then watch as your junior brothers and sisters die one by one under my sword!"

Zhou Jue sneered, his right hand forming a sword incantation.

hum!
That flying sword, hanging high above the sea, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to ten thousand swords.

Tens of thousands of sword beams appeared, covering the entire sky above the sea.

Like a raging storm, it ravaged the seabed.

With Zhou Jue's strength, even just a sword shadow would be enough to kill a Nascent Soul stage disciple!

Sword shadows filled the sky.

In an instant, a vast amount of blood and flesh stained the surrounding sea for dozens of miles, creating an incredibly horrific scene.

Every moment, disciples are dying.

"Damn Zhou Jue!"

The two mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators gritted their teeth and could only summon two bone puppets, each over a thousand meters long, to try their best to block the sword shadows.

However, many disciples were still shrouded in the shadows of the swords.

Yang Lianqing was one of them.

His mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation was like an ant in such a brutal battlefield.

The surging sword energy left numerous wounds on his body.

"Is this the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm?"

Yang Lianqing summoned a three-headed zombie at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which struggled to approach the bone puppet.

hum!
But tens of thousands of sword shadows still covered his location.

Stab it!

A dazzling sword light flashed, and two of the three zombies he had created with all his resources were immediately reduced to rotten flesh and torn to pieces in the seawater.

But the sword light did not stop.

They continued their attack on Yang Lianqing.

"It's over!"

The cold, sharp blades came rushing towards him, and Yang Lianqing's face was filled with despair.

when!
On the brink of life and death, Yang Lianqing gave up struggling. A completely different sword light appeared and cut off the sword light released by Zhou Jue.

Then, Yang Lianqing saw a figure that was extremely familiar.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

How did you end up here?

Yang Lianqing asked in surprise.

Of all the five major sects, only Zhang Yan would specifically show up to save him.

Even his fellow students were powerless to help.

Zhang Yan appeared just in time.

Yang Lianqing was extremely grateful that he had met Zhang Yan in the Gengjin Small World.

Who's lurking around like that?

At that moment, Zhou Jue's questioning voice came from above the sea.

These myriad sword shadows were unleashed by him.

He had already sensed that another powerful expert at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm had appeared.

"Who else could it be?"

The two mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain looked curiously behind them.

He was being watched by everyone.

Zhang Yan knew that he had been discovered.

With a single step, they appeared above the sea.

"Later stage of Nascent Soul?"

Zhou Jue looked at Zhang Yan, thinking he had misjudged him.

"Senior Brother Zhou."

"That's Zhang Yan!"

At this moment, the cultivator surnamed Luo recognized Zhang Yan.

"Zhang Yan?"

Upon hearing this name, everyone present widened their eyes.

Before the Five Great Competitions.

Zhang Yan was still just an unknown Nascent Soul cultivator.

His only identity is the young master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Another point is his status as a prodigy with a Nine-Turn Nascent Soul cultivation.

But now.

Neither Corpse Skull Mountain nor the Imperial Sword Sect dared to underestimate Zhang Yan.

This one.

However, with his cultivation at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, he managed to defeat a prodigy at the mid-Dharma Aspect stage.

Although his cultivation level is not high, he is a genuine mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm fighter.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"The Imperial Sword Sect runs rampant and acts tyrannically!"

"Why don't we cooperate for now and work together to resist Zhou Jue?"

After recognizing Zhang Yan, the two mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain made a suggestion.

"Humph!"

"Just a mere Zhang Yan."

"Trying to stop me? How naive!"

Zhou Jue looked at Zhang Yan with disdain, not taking him seriously at all.

Zhang Yan remained expressionless.

How could he not know that the two from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain were deliberately trying to drag him into this mess?

This statement came out.

Even if Zhang Yan wanted to leave, it was too late.

but.

Zhang Yan did not intend to leave alone.

"That's you."

"You killed Senior Brother Li Yan?"

Zhang Yan looked at Zhou Jue, his eyes faintly bloodshot.

"So you know."

"Yes, that's me."

"I also promised Li Yan that I would escort your good junior brother to meet him."

"Today is the perfect day to grant you and your fellow disciples your wish!"

Zhou Jue sneered.

His subordinates, however, showed no mercy.

Li Yan has already been killed, so one more Zhang Yan won't make a difference!

hum!
The flying sword in Zhou Jue's hand leaped out again and disappeared completely.

At the same time, Zhang Yan and the others felt a strong sense of crisis.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, be careful!"

Two mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain spoke up to offer a reminder.

Although they dragged Zhang Yan into the mess, it was also to save their own lives.

If Zhang Yan were to perish, they would be plunged into crisis once again.

Zhou Jue's sword strike activated the true technique of sword control.

The sword intent was contained within, completely integrated into the flying sword, and the blade merged with heaven and earth, becoming almost imperceptible.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena.

Only the profound killing intent hidden in the simplest of truths.

"Don't be careless!"

Zhang Yan reminded himself.

Although he wanted to avenge his senior brother, he had to admit that Zhou Jue was indeed not simple.

hum!
Finally, the spirit sword reappeared, its terrifying sword intent erupting like a tsunami.

The sword blade traversed the void and appeared before a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain, stabbing towards his waist at an extremely tricky angle.

His face changed drastically.

He quickly summoned a zombie at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

This kind of zombie requires a corpse at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, as well as a large amount of resources to refine it.

Extremely precious.

In a critical moment, it can be used to block a fatal blow. This is where the zombie came in handy.

A zombie body, comparable to a low-grade fifth-order magic weapon, blocked his path from behind.

Stab it!

But the flying sword had already struck, piercing through the zombie's body in an instant, and the remaining force even pierced his waist.

Bang!
With a burst of sword intent, this person, a ruthless individual, preemptively sliced ​​off all the flesh from his waist.

His life was saved, at least.

But his most precious substitute zombie was completely destroyed.

hum!
The flying sword severely injured a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator, then disappeared back into the sea.

He appeared again, unexpectedly, in front of another mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

He also used his trump card, taking out a grayish-white tortoise shell that was a hundred meters long.

The origin of this tortoise shell is unknown.

However, the aura emanating from it clearly came from a fifth-tier beast.

when!
Even when a flying sword landed on it, it only left a gap.

"It's your turn."

Zhou Jue once again summoned his flying sword and headed towards Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan had already anticipated this.

"Illusory Thunder and Lightning!"

He took out the Kui Niu True Eye and activated it with all his might, a fifth-order spell.

It's sizzling!

Thunder roared, and Zhang Yan's skin became ethereal, like a being born from lightning.

The surrounding seawater, upon contact with his body, would turn into lightning plasma.

hum!
A sword rang out, and the flying sword appeared from a tricky angle, its power of the late-stage Dharma Aspect Realm condensed to its extreme.

Like a tiny, cold star, it rapidly magnified in Zhang Yan's eyes.

At the same time, an inescapable force of will pressed down upon us.

This is sword intent; this is suppression at the level of the soul.

Only by experiencing this sword strike firsthand can one truly understand how terrifying it is.

"The True Technique of Sword Control?"

"I can do it too!"

Zhang Yan shouted, his whole body bathed in lightning, and thirty-six star-tempered flying swords appeared behind him.

He used the same sword control technique.

Thirty-six flying swords merged into one.

At the same time, the lightning on Zhang Yan's body spread to the flying sword, transforming into a dazzling lightning sword.

"cut!"

Zhang Yan's gaze was icy, and he slashed backward with his flying sword!

boom!
Thunder roared as the two sword intents clashed, creating a towering vortex of sword energy.

"Junior brother!"

At this moment, Lin Qingyue and the others appeared, staring intently at the vortex of sword energy.

They believed in Zhang Yan's abilities.

However, the gap is simply too large.

That's a whole realm of difference.

"Some skills."

Above the sea, Zhou Jue, who had remained calm throughout, subtly changed his expression.

when!
A metallic clang rang out from within the vortex of sword energy, and then Zhou Jue's spirit sword was sent flying backward.

The vortex dissipated.

Zhang Yan stood tall in the sea, surrounded by thirty-six flying swords, like stars around his body.

Although it was a fluctuation of cultivation level at the late Nascent Soul stage.

However, the aura emanating from him was extremely peculiar.

The power of heaven and earth between them converged on him.

At this moment, the two became the two protagonists of this world, suppressing all things.

"He actually managed to."

"To contend with Zhou Jue?"

The two mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators from Corpse Demon Skull Mountain were filled with horror.

They underestimated Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan was able to deal with Zhou Jue, who was in the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, by relying on his own strength.

"Brother!"

"Young Pavilion Master!"

The members of the Divine Weapon Pavilion were overjoyed.

Regardless of the outcome, the fact that Zhang Yan and Zhou Jue clashed head-on and emerged unscathed has already set a precedent.

"Zhang Yan."

"It has condensed a tenth-stage Nascent Soul."

"Is it really that incredible?"

The members of the Imperial Sword Sect stared at Zhang Yan with intense jealousy.

In contrast.

Shen Ning of their Imperial Sword Sect appeared extremely ordinary.

"Tenth-stage Nascent Soul..."

Shen Ning stood behind the cultivator surnamed Luo, muttering to himself, his eyes glazed over, still struggling with his inner demons.

"Humph!"

A cold snort suddenly rang out.

Zhou Jue's domineering aura, typical of the late-stage Dharma Aspect Realm, swept across the entire sea area.

The seawater was trembling, as if the seabed was about to explode.

This aura poured a bucket of ice water on the burning passion of the crowd.

The late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm is ultimately just the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

"The Five Sects Competition is about to conclude."

"The Divine Weapon Pavilion still has so many disciples."

"It seems you've benefited quite a bit from this competition!"

"But who gave you the audacity to send out all of you today?"

Zhou Jue's chilling voice reached everyone's ears.

The members of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Suddenly, I felt like I was being pricked by thorns.

"Zhou Jue!"

"You murdered Senior Brother Li Yan."

"We have come here to avenge our senior brother."

Even if we are no match for them, let's leave the Demon Burial Sea together!

"The Divine Weapon Pavilion will never forget the grudge against Senior Brother Li Yan."

Lin Qingyue stepped forward to resist Zhou Jue's oppressive aura and replied coldly.

"Young Pavilion Master!"

"Avenge our senior brother!"

The remaining disciples also stepped forward to support Zhang Yan.

Although they are not very strong.

But at this moment, their minds were united, and they stood firmly behind Zhang Yan, with a do-or-die determination.

"Noisy!"

Zhou Jue's face turned ashen as he faced the cold stares of the Divine Weapon Pavilion members.

"In that case."

"Then I'll kill you all!"

"I will make you all be buried with Li Yan!"

Zhou Jue's eyes surged with murderous intent, and he was on the verge of madness.

"True Technique of Sword Control, Nine Heavens Cloud-Treading Sword!"

Zhou Jue unleashed his sword technique, his hands forming a sword incantation, and the spiritual sword spun a hundred feet above his head.

A Nine Heavens Sword Palace, several hundred meters in size, took shape around the sword.

The sword shadows intertwined and coalesced into a tangible form.

Every palace is a deadly weapon.

Wow!
The spirit sword, carrying the sword palace, fell down, emptying the seawater and briefly turning this seabed into a void.

"All directions, utter silence!"

Zhang Yan stood ready, and the three spiritual swords radiated a sky full of spiritual light.

The Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, and Black Tortoise, three divine beast phantoms, suppressed heaven and earth.

He looked up at the Sword Palace and let out a long roar.

The three swords slashed simultaneously, the phantoms of the divine beasts merged, and an invisible force of annihilation condensed.

Everything along the way was annihilated by this force.

Zhang Yan has already activated the Nascent Soul Spirit Ring.

The vast power of heaven and earth was poured into it, causing a tremendous upheaval.

And the power of this sword.

It also surpassed the limit of the middle stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm and reached the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

In the eyes of everyone.

The two of them had transcended worldly affairs and were no longer part of this mortal realm.

This is the most spectacular battle in the entire Five Sects Tournament, and indeed in all previous Five Sects Tournaments!
Boom!
This shocking collision unleashed a terrifying and indescribable shockwave.

The dark sea was illuminated, like a two-colored sun being born in the deep seabed.

Even cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are not qualified to watch the battle.

They could only hide behind a group of Dharma Aspect Realm experts.

"Can Junior Brother withstand it?"

Lin Qingyue looked worried and kept a close eye on the changes at the center of the collision.

Such a powerful blow.

It has far exceeded the limits of the Nascent Soul stage.

Even those at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm present were shocked.

Wow!
Ripples spread across the heavens and earth like a tsunami, and the collision finally ended.

Within the blinding divine light, two figures reappeared.

"The fourth-order sword control technique has been perfected."

"You've comprehended three true meanings simultaneously. How exactly did you cultivate?"

Amidst the aftershocks, Zhou Jue's incredulous voice rang out. (End of Chapter)
