At this moment, a terrifying rumble echoed within Qin Chen's body, with streams of sword energy crisscrossing, and an inexplicable pressure spreading out.
Puff puff puff! Below, countless transparent giant swords trembled incessantly, activating terrifying sword lights. The various sword intents contained within all bowed in reverence, as if worshipping a deity.
"This is..." Within the Qiankun Transformation Jade Disc, the Eternal Sword Master expressed shock as he looked at Qin Chen. He was well aware of some of Qin Chen's secrets. Could it be that one Lord...? But even that Lord, why would they cause the many sword intents in this Sword Stele Forest to awaken?
Not only was the Eternal Sword Master startled, but even the Star Extinguishing Venerable and the Nine Universes Venerable looked at Qin Chen in shock, their eyes shooting out divine light, feeling that Qin Chen's current state was somewhat abnormal.
Although Qin Chen had stirred up a huge commotion in the Void Tide Sea, drawing the attention of the Heavenly Realm, the main reason why the top forces focused on him was because of that terrifying existence in the Void Sea. In their eyes, Qin Chen himself was no different from a speck of dust.
Even a half-step Venerable was still seen as an ant in their eyes. If one does not step beyond that threshold and break free from the rules of heaven and earth, they are merely insignificant. However, the aura Qin Chen exuded at this moment surpassed that of an ordinary half-step Heaven Venerable, even causing these Venerables to feel a sense of dread.
It was not the power erupting from within Qin Chen but rather something within the mysterious rust sword in his hand, as if something was about to revive.
"Ah!"
Qin Chen roared loudly, maintaining clarity in his spiritual sea. Fortunately, he had the Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique, a soul secret method that ensured his spiritual platform remained untainted. Otherwise, under this terrifying and chilling power, he would surely lose his mind and become a walking corpse.
The mysterious rust sword had been activated.
"Slash!"
Qin Chen's blood-red gaze fixed on Zhuge Rulong as he swung the sword. Sizzle! Sizzle! The mysterious rust sword was enveloped in a terrifying brilliance, radiating a supreme pressure that even caused the sword body to tremble, as if it was about to shatter.
This sword strike was terrifying. The sword intents throughout the Sword Stele Forest were stirred, continuously converging around Qin Chen, transforming into a colossal heavenly sword. The sword energy shot into the sky, and with a thunderous roar, it directly slashed down, causing the heavens and earth to tremble under the burden.
Zhuge Rulong's heart raced. This momentum was too terrifying, even shocking him.
However, no matter what, he was still a Venerable expert, and with his lifespan burning, how could he easily retreat? With a hum, he gathered his strength, forming a terrifying river of fate that spanned before him.
Boom! The heavenly sword energy struck the river of fate, producing a violent explosive sound. The river of fate was directly shattered, and the sword energy continued to slash through without obstruction.
Zhuge Rulong was greatly alarmed, not expecting the sword energy alone to possess such destructive power. His gathered river of fate for defense was utterly ineffective. Realizing this, he hurriedly retreated to avoid the sword energy.
But the speed of the sword energy was too fast. With a loud bang, it slashed down on Zhuge Rulong's shoulder.
"Ah!"
This time, Zhuge Rulong let out a terrible scream, blood splattering. The mysterious rust sword was too fierce; the sword energy pierced through, nearly cleaving Zhuge Rulong's body in half. He cried out in agony, and at the critical moment, the power of fate stirred, blocking the mysterious rust sword. However, Zhuge Rulong was still severely injured, in a sorry state, drenched in blood.
Those below watched, feeling their hands and feet turn cold, their scalps numb, and their legs weak with the impulse to collapse.
