Chapter 937: 斩神

Jiang Zhou roared, losing his composure for the first time as he was beheaded by a single sword strike.

His head flew backward while his body shifted sideways. The two parts quickly tried to piece themselves together, attempting to reconstruct his Manifestation body.

Jiang Zhou's reaction was indeed swift, befitting a god-level consciousness. His whole body glowed, his neck healed, and blood flowed back into his body. His aura surged, pushing his Manifestation power to its absolute limit.

However, a white light flashed opposite him. The woman, graceful as a startled swan with an ethereal presence, dived down again, and her sword light, like a rainbow, struck once more.

"Still hoping for success!?" Jiang Zhou's face darkened. He unleashed a great divine ability, blurring the void. Though seemingly close, dimensional space now separated them.

This was the Spatial Shrinking Technique!

Meanwhile, at the edge of the Underworld Universe, in the chaotic zone, a group of people gasped in alarm on the vermilion grand ship.

Jiang Zhou's true body's eyes surged with light. He immediately issued an order that Manifestation-level evolvers depart and go to the Great Abyss to kill the woman.

Furthermore, his body dimmed as he split off another avatar. This was his limit, and he was already severely weakened!

At the same time, the god-level expert Xu Hong also dispatched two avatars and set off.

Since they already knew the artifact coveted by even Heavenly Venerates was on Chu Feng, now was the time to act. They had to seize it.

In addition, eight Manifestation-level evolvers followed the two god-level experts' avatars and rushed over!

Outside the Great Abyss.

"Whoosh!"

The brilliant sword light, dazzling like burning Geng metal, illuminated the starry sky, piercing through the so-called dimensional space, and directly struck again.

Jiang Zhou's divine ability was rendered ineffective, broken by a single sword strike!

One sword to break all techniques—not a flying sword, but the wielder carrying a three-foot divine sword, walking the world and slaughtering all enemies!

With a 'thud,' Jiang Zhou's eyes were wide open, filled with horror. His neck was severed again, and his head flew off.

He was furious, while panic surged deep within him. Who was this person? To be able to behead him twice in a row, this was truly terrifying.

The headless body flew backward, and the head also rapidly moved through the void, attempting to escape and reassemble with the body.

But this time the white-clad woman was too fast, accompanying him like a white lightning bolt. She gave him no more chances, and the sword light struck again.

Jiang Zhou was shocked and enraged. He was bisected, cut into two halves from his abdomen. If one also counted his severed head, he was now in three parts.

His heart grew increasingly terrified. He was a god, and even if suppressed to the Manifestation Realm, he was still more powerful than evolvers of that level—definitely a demigod.

Yet, now he was first beheaded, then bisected, utterly unable to parry.

Jiang Zhou immediately estimated that the woman's physical body was too swift. Even though she appeared almost unrealistically beautiful, like a celestial maiden, her strength was absolutely god-level.

A divine body!

He made a judgment that this woman possessed a god-level physical body. Although her gaze seemed slightly unfocused, she was definitely of that level. Her physical movements were too fast, surpassing the perception of Manifestation-level evolvers.

Jiang Zhou roared lowly, desperately urging his fragmented body, still trying to reshape his Manifestation body. His blood energy surged to the heavens, and countless golden symbols densely covered the area, blooming there.

Even as a fragmented body, severed by his opponent, he still used secret techniques to launch an attack on the white-clad woman. If he didn't use powerful trump cards, he would have no chance and would be killed.

In this place, at least one hundred thousand sharp swords appeared, each constructed from a single symbol. In an instant, they transformed into a dazzling sword rain, terrifying beyond measure and supremely brilliant, stabbing towards the white-clad woman.

The void was pierced. This was one hundred thousand swords dancing together, shaking heaven and earth. These were manifestations of laws, order descending, intent on strangling the opponent.

However, the divine sword in the white-clad woman's hand trembled. It didn't swing out sword light, but rather ripples spread outward from the sword as its center, reaching far and wide.

This was terrifying; the void itself seemed to collapse. The sword rain constructed from one hundred thousand runes clanged loudly, breaking apart and crying out in despair, all disintegrated!

This space exploded!

In the distance, inside the Demon Ancestor's Cauldron, the Big Black Ox and others were terrified and quickly fled with the Mastiff King's soul light.

In fact, they didn't need to say much; the Demon Ancestor's Cauldron made the most correct choice, avoiding this battlefield and disappearing with the people in an instant.

This cauldron had an ancient origin; it knew the power of this place well. The Demon Ancestor's demise back then was related to this very place!

In the battlefield, Jiang Zhou roared, feeling soul-shattering pain at this moment. The ripples surged over, breaking his one hundred thousand divine swords, riddling his body with holes from the impact, and half of his body exploded.

"Kill!"

Rebirthing from a drop of blood, his head and fragmented body attempted to reassemble to form a complete body, but at this moment, sword light, like a waterfall, snow-white and brilliant, swept over in vast swathes.

*Thud, thud, thud!*

Jiang Zhou was sliced open by the sword light, his body turning into dozens of pieces. The sword intent contained terrifying laws, crushing his soul light!

Jiang Zhou roared. He was truly chilled to the bone. Was he actually going to be killed here?

Furthermore, when he thought about what the Great Abyss was, he shivered involuntarily. Anyone who emerged from here was naturally extraordinary.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the universe, in the chaotic zone, Jiang Zhou's true body roared. He had only condensed two avatars in total, containing his true foundational soul light. If they were annihilated, his true body would also be severely damaged, suffering heavy losses.

If both avatars died there, it would be like losing more than half of his life!

Just then, a group of people arrived, killing their way in: Xu Hong's two avatars, Jiang Zhou's other avatar, and eight Manifestation-level evolvers—a total of eleven people!

As they charged into this place, Jiang Zhou's first avatar was letting out a desperate roar, its soul light pierced by a single sword strike. Unable to escape, it burned to ashes, annihilated both body and spirit.

In the chaos, Jiang Zhou's true body fell backward onto the ground, coughing up blood continuously.

Meanwhile, outside the Great Abyss, the true battle had only just begun.

After the group saw the white-clad woman's appearance, they were all astonished. Her grace was unparalleled, her white battle skirt stained with blood. She was an ethereal woman, but when she fought, she was like a battle immortal, incredibly sharp and fierce.

"Did you feel it? Her physical body is god-level, but her spiritual will has problems. Use this weakness to kill her," Xu Hong said.

"I knew it," Jiang Zhou's second avatar said bitterly. "This universe suppresses god-level beings, so a true evolver of this level couldn't appear here. Quickly deal with her!"

However, when the white-clad woman moved, their expressions changed. Her physical body was god-level; even if her gaze was unfocused, her movements and combat awareness were unparalleled. With one sword flying out, her very first move made a Manifestation-level evolver's brow bleed, and then with a 'bang,' their body split into two, sliced vertically!

"Damn it, this is the Great Abyss! Why isn't it absorbing the energy within her physical body?"

These people were somewhat unnerved. Fighting at close range, they realized how terrifying this woman was. Something was clearly wrong.

"Kill!"

Jiang Zhou's and Xu Hong's avatars spoke, and together with the remaining seven Manifestation-level evolvers, they attacked frantically. They had already found the supreme treasure of the Yang Realm on Chu Feng; how could they fail now? They desperately wanted to seize it immediately.

However, the brutality of this battle exceeded everyone's expectations.

The divine sword in the white-clad woman's hand was formed from the mother gold extracted from the Mechanical Race's Old King Kong. It was incomparably sharp and indestructible.

In this battle, more than a dozen Manifestation-level weapons were severed, and dismembered limbs and other body parts constantly flew in this area.

A master from the Yang Realm was sliced through the shoulder, and even their soul light was corroded by the sword light. They let out a miserable scream, their light instantly dimmed, and they were killed!

A crimson glow bloomed as Yao Yao's physical body swung her sword again, severing one person's head.

Then she spun around, her long sword sweeping horizontally, slicing through various weapons attacking from behind and tearing apart vast swathes of law runes.

"She can't be stopped!" someone shrieked.

"She can't be killed!" another person said fearfully. After truly engaging in combat, they knew what kind of opponent they had encountered.

Someone tried to escape, but a white light flashed, her robes fluttering, and the white-clad woman pursued. She sliced them down from behind with one sword, then added another strike, destroying their soul light.

This was world-shocking. Manifestation-level experts were extremely difficult to kill; after their soul light dispersed, they could escape and quickly regenerate.

However, now, with a sweep of the white-clad woman's brilliant sword light, there was simply no way out, no place to hide; even their soul light was obliterated.

"Run!"

Xu Hong turned and fled. One of his avatars was already heavily wounded during the brief battle. He didn't want to fight here for long and rapidly escaped into the void.

But a sword flew in, like a celestial immortal descending from outside the heavens. The white-clad woman was too fast and incredibly transcendent; she and her sword became one. Reaching Xu Hong's back, she pierced through his protective laws and sliced him vertically into two halves.

At the edge of the universe, in the chaos, Xu Hong's true body fell backward onto the grand ship, bleeding from all seven orifices and heavily wounded.

This battle shocked everyone. Whether cultivators from the Underworld Universe or people from the Yang Realm, they were all petrified, their hair standing on end.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Sword light like a rainbow, the eight Manifestation-level figures who rushed over from the Yang Realm were now consecutively sliced and killed. The white-clad woman, with her flowing hair, was too sharp and swift. Each strike killed one person!

In the blink of an eye, all eight were completely cut down and annihilated, their corpses strewn outside the Great Abyss, their soul lights all extinguished!

"You..."

Only Jiang Zhou's and Xu Hong's last avatars remained at the scene. They were terrified. They had never imagined that entering the Underworld Universe would be so terrifying, being killed to the point of losing all composure.

A white shadow flashed as the woman charged. She looked peerlessly graceful, but the divine sword in her hand was merciless. Her appearance was like an immortal's, but now she acted like a female Asura.

The head of Jiang Zhou's avatar also flew up, its neck severed by a single sword strike, body and head separated.

"You..."

Jiang Zhou felt a sense of powerlessness. He had fought with his life, but still couldn't block her, being beheaded. This was his second and final avatar.

The next sword fell, and sword energy surged, shattering his physical body into pieces. Even the flying head was split open, and vast swathes of soul light rushed out, attempting to escape.

Then, the woman again vibrated her sword, and ripple-like beams of light rushed out, completely extinguishing all soul light!

In the chaos, Jiang Zhou's true body writhed in pain, more than half of his life gone. He continuously roared and finally fainted.

Both avatars completely annihilated, the damage to him was too severe!

Outside the Great Abyss, Xu Hong's last avatar fled, but was still caught, struck by a beam of light like a comet streaking across the sky. A sword light sliced him down, his physical body splitting into two pieces, and his soul light dissipating.

All annihilated!

This group of people was dead. The forces dispatched from the Yang Realm were completely wiped out!
