"Sword Five: Parade of a Hundred Ghosts."
With a single sword strike, Luo Xiu dealt with all the Celestial Realm cultivators guarding the Teleportation Array, acting even before Lao Ba and Black Fatty.
As the sword swept out, the Celestial Realm cultivators felt themselves plunged into an endless night. The more they struggled, the deeper they sank. Even the things they feared most in their hearts manifested clearly before their eyes.
Looking at the corpses with their ghastly expressions strewn across the ground, even Luo Xiu frowned.
Black Fatty remarked emotionally, "As expected of the true Supre Knowledge of Ghost Valley. That sword strike killed their souls, letting them die in the grip of their own innermost fears."
Suddenly, Lao Ba raised a wing and, mimicking a human, gave Luo Xiu a thumbs-up.
"Crown Prince, that was aweso!"
"But hey, Crown Prince, next ti can you let us show off a little? My Golden Crow Divine Fire is pretty slick too, you know?"
Luo Xiu said nonchalantly, "There's no need to waste ti on these small fry. Getting to the twelfth layer to find the Celestial Nourishing Grass is what matters."
"Right, let's hurry!"
***
As the Teleportation Array activated, Luo Xiu and his companions disappeared as if they had evaporated. In just an instant, the man and his two beasts appeared on the twelfth layer of the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven.
This was Sky Divine City, the central region of the twelfth layer.
The mont Luo Xiu materialized on the vast Teleportation Plaza, he found it was already surrounded by people. In fact, before he had even arrived, the four City Lords of Sky Divine City had received news of him slaughtering Celestial Realm cultivators on the eleventh layer and storming the Teleportation Array. The four City Lords had made a swift decision, imdiately sending n to lie in wait.
***
The plaza was silent. The atmosphere was tense, like a drawn bowstring.
Suddenly, soone in the crowd recognized Luo Xiu.
"Everyone, be on alert! This man is Ao Debiao! He's the peerless genius with a two-hundred-million-Spirit-Jade bounty from Shattered Star City!"
"I can't believe he actually made it to the twelfth layer. Could he have already entered the Emperor Realm?"
"Such a young Emperor Realm cultivator is truly unprecedented!"
"What's there to fear? Isn't everyone on the twelfth layer an Emperor Realm cultivator?"
"I refuse to believe that with so many of us Emperor Realm cultivators, we can't take down one man!"
"He has the Ghost Valley inheritance and possesses Ghost Valley's Treasures! If we kill him, all that Ghost Valley Supre Knowledge will be ours!"
***
In the center of the Teleportation Plaza, Luo Xiu surveyed the surrounding Celestial Realm cultivators. His expression was as calm as ever, but he did not let his guard down. Unlike the small fry on the eleventh layer, everyone who could be on the twelfth layer was an Emperor Realm Expert.
Although most were Profound Emperors, there were also several Red Emperors among them. As for White Emperors, there wasn't a single one in sight. Or perhaps there were, and they simply hadn't revealed themselves yet.
Lao Ba suddenly asked, "Crown Prince, are we doing this?"
Clutching the Golden Crow Feather, Luo Xiu replied via Divine Sense Communication, "The entire twelfth layer is full of Emperor Realm cultivators. If we keep fighting like this, how long will it take? For now, let's deal with the ones in front of us. We can talk after we've broken out."
As his thought faded, Luo Xiu vanished, leaving only an afterimage.
"Sword One: Dragon Worship Sword!"
He opened with Sword Thirteen. Ever since he had comprehended and mastered "Sword Thirteen," Luo Xiu felt his previous sword techniques all paled in comparison. With his attack, the plaza was instantly plunged into chaos.
At the sa ti, on the roof of a tall building in the distance, a handso man with white hair and white robes was watching everything unfold on the Teleportation Plaza. As he watched the Sword Qi dance across the plaza, a glimr of amazent began to show in his calm eyes.
This kid really has sothing, making him a worthy successor to that old fellow, Guijian Chou. And… judging by the lightning around him, there seems to be a faint aura of Law's Breath. Well, I'll see how this plays out before deciding whether to help.
***
The Teleportation Plaza was strewn with corpses. The stench of blood filled the air amidst relentless screams. Black flas, black mist, and black Sword Qi intertwined, a combination that was utterly unstoppable, tearing through everything in its path.
"T-Too terrifying!"
"Is this the legendary Ghost Valley Sword Technique? Why does every sword strike feel like a Divine Skill?"
"There's just no comparison!"
"Quick, call for reinforcents!"
After a brutal slaughter, the Emperor Realm cultivators from the various great powers of the Celestial Realm were terrified. Fear had conquered their fighting spirit, and no one dared to rush forward to their deaths.
"Ao Debiao, stop your rampage in my Sky Divine City!"
Suddenly, an angry roar shook the sky. An invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire Teleportation Plaza. The Celestial Realm cultivators were all invigorated. Their confidence returned, and their diminished fighting spirit reignited.
"It's the North City Lord!"
"The North City Lord has arrived!"
"With the North City Lord's strength as a White Emperor, he will surely capture Ao Debiao!"
In Sky Divine City, there were four City Lords: East, South, West, and North. Each City Lord represented one of the Celestial Realm's superpowers. They were stationed here for the sole purpose of guarding the twelfth layer of Divine Oracle Cave Heaven and its secrets.
On the Teleportation Plaza, amidst a pile of corpses, Luo Xiu lightly flicked the Golden Crow Feather in his grasp, shaking off the blood. He then looked up into the sky, his gaze locking onto the middle-aged man who had appeared at so unknown point. The man was dressed in luxurious robes, his face resolute and his presence imposing, his aura as profound as the vast ocean. Judging by the invisible pressure he exuded, he was likely a White Emperor.
Lao Ba sent a Divine Sense Communication, "Crown Prince, this guy looks like trouble. Should we bail?"
A slight smile touched Luo Xiu's lips. "No rush. He's the perfect person to test my Glazed Thunder on."
At that mont, the North City Lord stood motionless in the Void, looking down on Luo Xiu. "Ao Debiao, do you dare to reveal your true na from the mortal world?"
Hearing this, Lao Ba suddenly laughed, "Who are you to be worthy of knowing his true na?"
The North City Lord looked at Lao Ba. "And who are you?"
Lao Ba stated proudly, "To utter my na would shock you! I am the Divine Beast of Ghost Valley, Black Gold Crow Lao Ba!"
The North City Lord's eyes narrowed, his expression thoughtful. After a mont, he gave Luo Xiu a deep look. "Ao Debiao, considering that your cultivation has not co easy, as long as you obediently..."
ZZZT!
Before he could finish his sentence, a bolt of lightning erupted in front of him, from which Luo Xiu's figure erged.
Such incredible speed.
The North City Lord was startled and looked up. When he saw the beautiful, dreamlike wings on Luo Xiu's back, his gaze shook with shock. "This is... the Power of Laws? You actually possess the Power of Laws!"
Luo Xiu smiled faintly. "You have a good eye."
The North City Lord's expression grew graver, but inwardly he was ecstatic. He silently vowed to capture this young man alive and seize his Power of Laws. "Ao Debiao, are you truly going to be so stubborn? Do you intend to oppose all the great powers of the Celestial Realm by yourself?"
Without another word, Luo Xiu raised the Golden Crow Feather and slashed at the North City Lord.
This slash was his answer.
"I will fight my way into your Celestial Realm... and make you bow in submission!
"I will fight until the people of the Mortal Realm... are no longer the lowly commoners you speak of!"
The North City Lord snorted coldly, his aura erupting as he crossed his fists before him, solidly blocking Luo Xiu's sword strike. "Then let's see if you have what it takes!"
Luo Xiu drifted back, a faint smile playing on his lips. "A White Emperor is a White Emperor, after all. Truly incomparable to those Profound and Red Emperors."
"I had thought the Celestial Realm was rely full of small fry, but now it seems there are a few big fish."
"Hah, you ignorant whelp. The Celestial Realm has as many experts as there are stars in the sky. How many do you truly know of?"
"Your skills, if brought to the Celestial Realm, would only just be enough to earn you a seat at the table."
