On the Divine Sword Mountain, five fierce battles were ongoing at different locations.
Basically, there were about three to four governing gods in a group versus one sword spirit.
Originally, these governing gods thought that with this setup, they could easily handle the five sword spirits. They deliberately separated the five of them, so that they couldn't work together and form an array that they could use for a counterattack.
However, now that they had faced them, they found that they were dead wrong.
After all, the fighting power of each of the five sword spirits was much stronger than they had anticipated.
There was no problem for them even if they had to fight against three of four governing gods at the same time.
In fact, the battle lasted for several days without these governing gods having the upper hand against the sword spirits.
Other creatures in the whole Sword Cosmos were attracted by the violent movement of the Divine Sword Mountain.
The situation indeed got pretty intense and chaotic.
After a few more days, the governing gods had finally begun to show anxious expressions.
"Damn it! This is not good. We have underestimated the fighting abilities of these sword spirits!"
"You're right! The Divine Sword Mountain really deserves to be the core of the Sword Cosmos. The power of the sword spirits is truly on a league of its own!"
The governing gods couldn't help but express their shock as they conversed through their spiritual sense.
"Ha! Fortunately, we have also prepared for the worst-case scenario.
Let's not hide our trump card anymore.
It's time to perform it! We can't let this situation go further,"
one of the senior governing gods proposed.
"Yeah, I guess it's time.
Let's do it.
I hoped that we didn't need to use this, but we have no other choice.
There's no turning back now!
We must deal with the five sword spirits or we're the ones who are going to be in trouble.
Kill them if that's the only way to suppress them!
If we lost here, we might not be able to return to the Divine Sword Mountain anymore."
Another governing god expressed worries and determination to go all-out.
"We know that too!
It's now or never!"
The other governing gods strongly proclaimed their resolve.
The very next moment,
a fist-sized sword array suddenly rushed out from the bodies of each governing god.
Then, more than a dozen sword arrays rapidly expanded in the wind.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Every sword array spurted out dense white silk threads that looked like a flowing white stream.
Each of the arrays released hundreds of millions of white silk threads that spread out in all directions.
Soon after, these threads immediately enveloped the entire Divine Sword Mountain.
Meanwhile, outside of the Divine Sword Mountain,
many people were gathered as if they were waiting for an order.
It could be said that currently, almost all of the elite warriors from the four major forces had come in support to the governing gods.
"Everyone, listen carefully. A white s
rd cultivator.
"Everyone! Listen!
All of you need to calm down!
Don't get too scared.
I have something to announce and you need to pay attention!"
The leaders of the four major forces finally said something about the situation.
Immediately after, the people fell silent and tried to suppress their agonies for the time being as they waited for the announcement.
The voices of their leaders exhibited the utmost authority, making them quickly follow their orders.
It was known that at most times, the leaders of these forces had seldom shown their faces in public.
Therefore, for ordinary people, it would be close to impossible to see them.
In fact, even with the people here today, many of them had never seen the faces of their leaders since they joined their sects.
Therefore, when they suddenly heard the voice of their leaders, most of them were surprised and excited at the same time.
The previous panic was swept away.
Their blood began boiling as if they were ready to fight any time as long as their leaders commanded them.
"Everyone, you don't need to panic.
You just have to trust us.
Each one of you is a very essential part of the group and we are proud of you.
And right now, we absolutely need your help.
For the time being, please bear the hardship. We need you to continue contributing your vital energy and everything related to your swordsmanship. This is the only way that we can deal with our extremely strong enemies.
We need to gather all our strength and unite against the opponents!
But don't worry. After all of this is over, everything shall be returned to you.
For the victory and honor of your own sect, bestow your energy and everything related to your swordsmanship to us.
This is a battle that will be told in the generations to come. It shall be a great honor to participate and contribute to such a historic battle!"
The governing gods of the four major forces said about the same thing to all of their respective members to gain their trust and cooperation.
