The Thousand Bamboo Forest was the base of the Bamboo Sword Sect. It stretched for thousands of miles and was lush and verdant, brimming with vitality.
The Bamboo Sword Sect was a low rank sect which possessed two supreme elders. One of them, the Holy Fetal State Elder, personally led a million strong army into the Desolate Land, while the other was the sect's Guardian Spirit. Currently, the sect's strength was at its lowest.
Guardian Spirits were spiritual creatures that had a certain level of intelligence. They were nurtured and protected by some sects, becoming the religion of those powers. They were similar to the worshippers of the Eternity Duchy.
"This is the Bamboo Sword Sect. Since it's a sword sect, who among you who wants to be the first to make a move?" Sitting on the flying ship, Qin Hengtian asked with interest.
"Leave it to me and Long'er. We won't let the king down." Yang Guo volunteered.
"Well, be careful!" Qin Hengtian nodded his head and agreed.
"Long'er, let's go!" Yang Guo happily pulled Xiao Longnv along, wielding his sword as he flew towards the bamboo forest.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
Suddenly the bamboo forest below lit up, many bamboo leaves shot up into the sky with sharp Sword Qi, causing the jade green bamboo swords to shoot out like ten thousand arrows, covering the entire sky, and suddenly enveloping the Yang Guo and.
Seeing Yang Guo's murderous aura descending from the sky and knowing that the person who had come was not a good one, the Bamboo Sword Sect's great protective formation, the Thousand Bamboo Green Edge Sword Formation, was instantly activated under the control of the Bamboo Sword Sect's Guardian Spirit.
"Watch me! Collapsing Mountain Sword Style!" "Yang Guo took out the Profound Rank battle sword, an enormous mountain sword, and slashed out.
However, the huge sword shattered the mountains as it slashed down. It was as if a ten thousand foot tall sword mountain was pressing down. The sword mountain crushed everything in its path like a hot knife through butter, cutting through mountains and seas.
"Boom!" Tens of thousands of bamboo swords were chopped apart by the gigantic sword. The sword qi instantly dissipated, and the leaves exploded into pieces, dissipating in the wind, leaving behind a clear blue sky.
The huge sword's might did not decrease at all as it continued to grind downwards. Wherever it went, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth would vibrate endlessly. An enormous sword mark would appear in the sky above the Thousand Bamboo Forest.
With the power of the Spirit Meridians, the bamboo sword cut through the air! A loud shout sounded out from the formation. Immediately, numerous spirit veins began to emit a huge amount of the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Subsequently, a golden bamboo sword surrounded by lightning brazenly thrust upwards. Thunder flashed, and a dazzling sword light shot out like an arrow leaving a bow, piercing through the sky. Golden light flashed, and the void shattered.
"This sword is marvelous. Now that you've unleashed the Flaming Sword Style, Long'er, you can help me out as well." Facing this sword attack that was comparable to the attack of a Supreme Realm cultivator, Yang Guo did not dare to be careless. He immediately slashed again with his sword, at the same time allowing Xiao Longnv to make her move.
"Good, I'll help you in the future. Mysterious Heart Sword, two swords in one go!" "Xiao Longnv, afraid that Yang Guo would suffer a loss, thrusted out the Freezing Snow Sword that was also a Profound Rank battle sword.
Suddenly, a boundless white colored heart sword appeared out of nowhere in the air, and with a whoosh, it flew into Yang Guo's Fury Fire Sword Style. The perfect combination of ice and fire caused the huge sword to be magnified extremely, and its power increased by leaps and bounds.
A huge flaming sword mountain appeared. Endless scarlet flames spread throughout the entire sword mountain. It brought with it an aura that could burn the world as it violently descended. Wherever the sword mountain passed by, space would be burned and the spirit energy would explode.
"Rumble!" "
"No, I can't accept this. I just joined the sect, and I don't want to die like this." "
"What a terrifying sword style! It's like a volcano erupting, able to burn and shatter everything in its path. How could we have provoked such a powerful opponent?" The great formation protecting the Bamboo Sword Sect was completely razed to the ground. The thousand bamboo forests were burned to the ground, leaving only a giant golden bamboo standing on the ground, scarred and wounded.
The Elders and disciples that were left behind to defend the Bamboo Sword Sect were shaken to death by this terrifying attack, causing countless injuries. Several Elders were the first to bear the brunt of the impact, directly shattering into a bloody mist.
With the great formation broken, the powerful strength of Yang Guo and his wife made them despair, but suddenly, countless similarly terrifying presences appeared in the sky once again, bringing with them endless might as they descended. The surviving Guardian Spirit and Bamboo Sword Sect members were all suppressed on the ground, the vast pressure made them unable to move at all.
"Surrender and don't kill, and those who resist will be killed!" A cold, murderous voice rang out in the air.
"I'm willing to surrender. Don't kill me. I'm of great use to you." In such a hopeless situation, the Bamboo Sword Sect's Holy Fetal State Guardian Spirit, a giant golden colored wondrous bamboo rooted in the spirit vein of the sect, immediately swayed as it pleaded for mercy.
The strange bamboo was about three hundred meters tall and shaped like a treasured sword. It flew straight into the sky, its leaves were golden like sharp swords, and there were even traces of thunder and lightning flashing around its body.
"What the hell are you? Hurry up and show yourself." Yang Guo looked at Jin Zhu and said sternly.
"I will show myself now. I am the Guardian Spirit of the Bamboo Sword Sect, and my original body is a Sword Thunder Gold Spirit Bamboo. Right now, I still don't have a human body, so I can only transform." As long as you plant me in a land where there is spiritual energy in it, then I will be able to give birth to a large amount of sword bamboo. As long as the spiritual energy is sufficient, the bamboo that I give birth to will be a precious artifact that can be refined into a Spirit Level battle sword. I can even form a great formation and play the role of a guardian formation, and I also know where the Bamboo Sword Sect's treasure is hidden. To save his life, Jin Zhu continued to reveal the information.
"Since you're willing to submit, I'll let you live. Follow me back to the Celestial Desolate. This country has vast amounts of spiritual earth for you to choose from. I'll bestow upon you the name of Swordbamboo!" This time, it was Qin Hengtian who spoke.
The Bamboo Sword Sect Guardian Spirit raised its head and looked up, only to see a huge ship floating in the sky. On the ship, a mighty and domineering man was sitting, covered by a golden halo from the divine sun in the sky.
"Swordbamboo greets Master!" The wise Guardian Spirit instantly pulled out its roots and prostrated itself on the ground as a sign of submission.
"Very well, a wise man is wise, but what about you?" Should he choose to stubbornly resist or submit to his true body? Qin Hengtian's imposing voice continued to ring out.
"Don't kill us, we're willing to submit." When the remaining disciples saw that the guardian spirits of their Holy Fetal State had all surrendered, they too kneeled on the ground and begged for mercy.
Since you have pledged your allegiance, then immediately send a message to the higher ups of the sect who are going to battle for Eternity Duchy, let them know that the sect is under attack, and tell them that it was the men of the Lie Mountain Sect who did it. You are currently resisting them forcefully, begging your sect master to lead your elite forces back to the sect and rescue them. "Qin Hengtian's domineering voice from the sky sounded like heavenly music.
"Yes, we will send word immediately!" The surviving disciples didn't dare to delay any further. They immediately took out their sect's spiritual jades to call for help, following the order completely.
Once the distress spirit jade was activated, it immediately transformed into a ray of spiritual light that shot out and disappeared into the horizon.
"Sword and Bamboo Guardian Spirit, bring the treasure of the Bamboo Sword Sect with you to the next location!" Seeing that the news had spread out, Qin Hengtian immediately rushed to the next sect.
He was not worried at all about these sect disciples going back on their word. As long as their sect's upper echelons were all executed, these people would be nothing to worry about, and would not be able to create any trouble. The reason why he attacked the various sects was mainly to lure the upper echelons of the Eternity to their sects to assist them.
The Volcano Sect was built next to a large volcano, and was also a low-ranked sect. It also possessed two supreme elders, the Sect Master of Holy Fetal State led the army out to the Wasteland, leaving behind the Guardian Spirit and Flame Giants to guard the sect.
"This Volcano Sect cultivates fire-attribute cultivation techniques. The fiery giant lives in a giant volcano nearby, and in the volcano, he is stronger than me." High up in the sky, atop the ship, the newly joined Guardian Spirit Sword Bamboo actively introduced the situation.
"I'll leave this monster to you, Xi Men. Take this Earth Grade battle sword, Frozen Myriad Miles Sword, and try your best to hurry up. We are in a hurry." "This time, Qin Hengtian did not hesitate and directly picked his opponent.
"Yes!" Ximen Chuixue accepted the order and rushed into the volcano with the battle sword in her hand.
"Bam!" "
"Hey, who are you and why did you suddenly attack me?" "
"Rumble rumble!"
It was obvious that Ximen Chuixue had the upper hand. Presumably, this was inevitable, since Ximen Chuixue was the first group of people to be summoned, her strength was already extraordinary, and now that she had an Earth Stage war weapon in her hands, it was like a tiger adding wings, even the Honored Warriors in front could face the battle head on.
"What's wrong with Lord Guardian Spirit? Something bad has happened! A great enemy has invaded, let's go and reinforce them!" The great battle at the volcano was the first to attract the attention of the Elders of the Volcano Sect. They immediately called for reinforcements.
"Kill whoever moves!" At this moment, a cold voice resounded through the sky. Following that, the pressure of the sacred embryo descended upon them, crushing them to death. No one dared to make a single move.
"Who are these people? When did we ever get into trouble with them?" "
"Who knows? Their strength is so terrifying!" "
"How can it not be terrifying? The pressure just now was even greater than the pressure the sect master gave us. After all, the sect master is an almighty Holy Fetal State expert." "
"That doesn't mean those people are the same!" The disciples of the Volcano Sect who were crawling on the ground began to whisper among themselves.
"Ah, you dare to stab me! I'll take your life! With the support of my spirit veins, I'll unleash a volcano's explosive attack!" When the fiery giant was injured, he needed to use the sect's spirit vein to increase his strength, and at the same time, he also wanted to ignite the volcano.
"Seal the ice for 10,000 li, Blow Snow Sword!" Suddenly, a soft shout came from the volcano. Immediately after, he saw the volcano that was about to erupt be completely frozen, following that, a sword light that pierced the sun and the moon shot out, forming a gigantic transparent sword hole, Ximen Chuixue flew out of the sword hole and gently leaped onto the boat.
"To the king, mercifully!" Ximen Chuixue replied with a slight bow, her expression as indifferent as ever.
"Crack …" Bang! Just as Ximen Chuixue's voice fell, a bright sword hole appeared on the head of the thousands of feet tall flame giant. The sword hole continued to expand, and with a loud bang, the flame giant's life force was completely destroyed.
"Submission, or death. What do you choose?" Under Qin Hengtian's instructions, Fu Hongxue coldly and emotionlessly spoke out. At the same time, she tightly gripped her black scabbard blade, as if she was ready to kill at any moment.
"We are willing to submit, we surrender!" "The sect's strongest fighting force, which could not even defend itself against an enemy, was killed. How could the disciples of the Volcano Sect dare to use their bodies to test for sabers? They all kneeled on the ground and expressed their surrender."
"Very good. Send a message to your sect's leader, instruct them to lead the sect's elites and return immediately. At the same time, present them with all of your sect's treasures." Yang Guo ordered.
"Yes!" We'll do it right now! "
The Volcano Sect's Bamboo Sword Sect was also taken care of, and they easily dealt with two sects in the first round. Qin Hengtian, who had won the first round, controlled the ship and advanced towards the third Sect Leader, Ming Luo Sect!
