Chapter 712: Snatching Food From a Tiger's Mouth!

Chapter 712: Snatching Food From a Tiger's Mouth!

At that moment, Yun Xiao had reached the Establishment Anima Tribulation Realm, with the Mortal Dust Devil Blood having entered the Night God Realm.

Uniting this with the Buddha's Treasure Spirit after transcending the tribulation, Yun Xiao's combat power soared to the highest peak of the Great Dao Celestial Realm.

Even if slightly slower than the Divine Desolation Physique and Mortal Dust Devil Blood, Yun Xiao shattered five stages in one go, furiously ascending the ladder of the Celestial Court.

His adversaries fell into the same old fallacies once more. They knew he was formidable, but never imagined him to be this formidable.

This included the abruptly deceased Northstar Sword Devil!

He too knew Yun Xiao could end him. So, he stirred the crowd, downplaying Yun Xiao's true strength, waiting for others to swarm in so he could flee to the Taiwei Imperial Palace.

Who would have thought that the Sovereign of the Immortal Sword Court, with a single Flying Sword passing through the crowd, would have his soul severed on the spot?

His instant death sent shockwaves through the minds of all the celestial officials present.

"He's more fearsome than the Great Mother!"

In that moment, all pride was shattered, every supreme Immortal forgot their lofty statuses, reduced to worms under the shadows of fear and reverence, faces ashen, scattering in chaos.

Phrases such as "Kill!", "This brat is nothing!", "Don't be afraid!", "For the White Emperor!", and "Blood for the imperial throne!" filled the air. Yet, in reality, each official fled more decisively than the last.

Their twisted faces were a mirror of their distorted hearts, drunk on incense offerings.

The Celestial Court, with its supreme command, postured in luxury without ever facing a real challenge. Today, the Great Mother and Yun Xiao dealt them hard blows, tearing off their masks of false virtue to reveal the bloodlust and cowardice within.

Whether Rank 4 Immortals or Rank 1 Sovereigns like the Northstar Sword Devil and Dragon Tiger Sovereign, under the crushing force of destruction, their demeanor of panic and abandon were the same.

"Don't panic! He's probably spent his energy, let's attack together! If we bombard him with Sword Souls, Life Sigils, and celestial weapons, even the Great Mother would fall!"

The Dragon Tiger Sovereign's roar steadied their hearts for a moment before he burrowed into the ground, fleeing in a circuitous route.

He even realized that even the Taiwei Imperial Palace might not be safe.

The death of the Northstar Sword Devil bled his heart.

All those dismissive claims of Yun Xiao's cultivation being below theirs were for others to hear. He knew better than anyone that Yun Xiao was a monster born of the celestial path, a sure death for anyone who faced him.

"Since he's a product of the Immortal Asylum, only the Immortal Asylum can destroy him. It's up to His Majesty to take action. I'd better avoid the sharp edge and save some face for the Heavenly Palace!"

Burying beneath the ground, hiding from view, the Dragon Tiger Sovereign felt a hint of safety.

Each strike shook the Heavenly Palace, opening vast fissures in the ground. Palaces crumbled and smoke billowed as screams echoed in the chaos.

The cracked earth was littered with the bodies of celestial officials, smashed into a bloody pulp by her overwhelming force. Regardless of their dignified titles and the followers they commanded, or the legends they inspired among mortals, now they were reduced to nothing more than flesh.

Hearth Gods, Thunder Dukes, Love Gods... none were spared. All were stripped of their dignified exteriors. Beneath the pure brutality of her onslaught, they were reduced to whimpering wretches.

Compared to Divine Dawn's cruelty, Yun Xiao's kills were like those of an artist. The celestial officials who died by his hand did so cleanly, without a drop of blood left behind.

The youth, with a sword and umbrella, strolled through the chaos like a wolf among sheep. Wherever he went, celestial officials ceased to exist, their souls scattered, their deaths a dark art form.

Thousands of Flying Swords, Life Sigils, and celestial treasures attacked, all repelled by his umbrella.

His own Flying Sword pierced through ranks unerringly—300 strikes, 300 deaths.

Most fearsome was his manifested Creator Immortal spirit. The Buddha's Treasure Spirit attacked and defended as one with Yun Xiao. Where his sword passed, spirits were torn asunder, cruelly dispatched in the blink of an eye.

Now, Yun Xiao moved like a shadow of death, his physical form and spirit acting in a lethal concert. His blade swept through the crowd, unstoppable.

Yun Xiao's Blood Base was already in the Night God Realm, placing him at the same cultivation as those Rank 1 Sovereigns. So, it was hardly a surprise that no one could withstand a single strike from his sword.

All the remaining Sovereigns refused to engage Yun Xiao, ducking away while convincing others to face him first. However, he hunted them down relentlessly, employing the strategy of taking out the leaders first!

Explosions continued from Divine Dawn's side—a chaotic blend of tiger roars, thunder, and earthquakes—so loud that one might think a great warlord dominated the battlefield, not a young girl.

In contrast, Yun Xiao's side was eerily silent, but the ground was littered with countless bodies, fallen in absolute terror. Not even a fly could pass over his territory and remain whole.

Under such ruthless slaughter, the remaining celestial officials lost all will to fight.

No more could any voice rally them; confidence had evaporated.

Their hearts filled with fear, they scattered in all directions, no longer seeing the Taiwei Imperial Palace as a refuge but hoping to escape the bounds of the Heavenly Palace, even the Great Dao Celestial Realm, to avoid the storm.

But just then, an endless ocean appeared above the Heavenly Palace, filling the inner sanctum of the Sacred Emperor Barrier and transforming it into a marsh-like sea of confinement, thick and unyielding, blocking all paths of escape.

"Corpse demon..."

The appearance of this confining sea only deepened the despair and panic among the terrified officials.
