Supreme Sword Exalt Chapter 215 - The Great Dao Goes Fishing

An extrely thick barrier separated a Holy Land from the outside world. The larger the Holy Land, the thicker this barrier.

The Myriad Transformations Holy Land was no exception. Yet, the relentless red lightning and the unimaginably enormous giant eye ignored the barrier, clearly projected before everyone. Those with lower cultivation had long since collapsed to the ground, unable to even stand up.

The Holy Master was pale, full of terror and unease. “What...”

Just what is happening? Why has sothing like this appeared?

He understood better than anyone how terrifying that giant eye was. Even one hundred-millionth of its power would be enough to blast him into dust. Under the magnificent heavenly might, Saint realm cultivators were no different from ants.

The composure and ease Chu Kuang showed earlier was completely gone from his face. “It seems it’s related to the ring from the Dao Bell!”

The Holy Master was deeply worried. “Damn it!”

Who exactly dares to draw out this kind of forbidden power...?

At this mont, it wasn’t just him. With the giant eye manifesting in the world, heaven and earth turned dim and dark. As the Dao’s might grew heavier, the red lightning beca increasingly violent and tyrannical, faintly taking on signs of apocalyptic destruction.

The countless undercurrents stirred by the earlier manifestation of the Dao Bell ceased right away. Even the peerless forbidden powerhouses did not dare make the slightest reckless move.

The thunder roared incessantly, casting a layer of eerie red over heaven and earth, faintly illuminating the woman who continued to fly forward.

In the distance, the golden-armored youth was full of worry. “Sister, you have to stop! This is too dangerous!”

Yet the woman did not stop. She didn’t even spare a glance at the phenona that could make countless powerhouses pale with fear.

The noble-looking young man gritted his teeth and instantly caught up with her.

The youth was stunned. “Ninth Brother, you’re also throwing your life away?!”

Even though the young man was pale, he suppressed his trembling and dread. “If she’s not afraid, then I must be even less afraid!”

***

Within Tian Ji Valley in the Central Continent, Fatty swallowed hard. The sight of the colossal eye, its size beyond comprehension, drained the color from his face.

“Old man, just what the hell is that thing?”

After the ninth ring of the Dao Bell, he had rushed to Tian Ji Valley at the first possible mont. Tian Ji had his eyes slightly closed, as if sensing sothing. Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura plumted, and he imdiately fell by one realm.

Startled, Fatty hurriedly ran over. “What the fuck?! Old man, are you trying to kill yourself? You dare to recklessly try to intervene?!”

Tian Ji appeared much older compared to before. He muttered incessantly, “The Dao Bell rang ten tis... Great Dao forbidden—”

Before he could finish, he spat out another mouthful of blood, actually falling another realm. His originally thick, jet-black hair had completely turned grey and white. Deep wrinkles crisscrossed his face.

Fatty subconsciously shook his head. “Ten rings ? No way! How could there possibly be in this world... Could it be related to that chi that fell into our minds earlier?”

Tian Ji nodded weakly, not speaking.

Fatty asked with a grave expression, “Who was that person? Did you see who it was?”

Tian Jizi lifted his arm with effort, pointing in a direction. “I... don’t know. It’s over there...”

Halfway through his sentence, his grey-white hair turned completely pure white. His head tilted to the side as he fell unconscious.

Following the direction he pointed, Fatty was taken aback. “East? East side? Fuck ! Eastern Wasteland? No way, could it be... that bastard?”

Pure instinct led his thoughts to Gu Han. After all, that guy had even cultivated the perfect Acupoint Unsealing realm. Ten rings from the Dao Bell wasn’t impossible either. The more Fatty thought about it, the more his unease grew.

He looked up at the thunder that almost covered the entire firmant and gritted his teeth. “No! I have to go look for myself!”

***

Within the forbidden zone, ghostly wails and low murmurs never ceased. As the strange fog churned and boiled, many transparent figures could faintly be seen drifting about, just like a realm of ghosts.

Suddenly, a roar sounded. A thousand-zhang tall, horned demonic shadow rushed out from the fog, charging toward the giant eye. Although it had no physical body, its killing aura was boundless, almost bursting through the firmant.

In the next mont, a flash of red lightning lit up for an instant, striking the demonic shadow. Without a sound, the demonic shadow vanished into nothingness, not leaving the slightest trace. However, this action seed to anger a certain existence deep within the forbidden zone.

Two beams of dark light suddenly lit up, piercing through layer upon layer of strange fog, falling upon the giant eye. In the next instant, boundless thunder descended, completely covering that area.

Waves of roaring mixed with the sounds of thunder, transmitted outside the forbidden zone. A mont later, the roaring ceased and the thunder subsided. All abnormal movents within the area disappeared, becoming even quieter than before.

Within the small courtyard, Chongming withdrew its gaze, looking sowhat gleeful. “These guys are really bold. They’ve tasted so bitterness now!”

Although the old man’s eyes remained closed, he seed able to clearly perceive all the changes in the sky veil. “How strange. Why did it appear?”

Chongming sneered. “Hmph. I know what I want to do now!”

“Do what?”

Chongming stated matter-of-factly, “Go fishing! Even you think it’s strange, don’t you? It was all bait just to lure people to take the hook!”

The old man was silent for a mont. “Fishing? Who is the fish?”

“Who knows?”

The old man sighed with so emotion. “Judging by the scale of this blessing, it must be a very big fish!”

Chongming sounded sowhat regretful. “Exactly! What a pity. If my cultivation was still intact, I’d definitely go out to see the spectacle! Bait of this level for the fish it’s trying to catch... tsk tsk, I’m afraid it’s big beyond our imagination!”

***

Gu Han was definitely not a big fish. He probably wasn’t even considered a fish at all. Not to ntion the terrifying beings within the forbidden zone, even compared to the peerless powerhouses of the Five Domains, Gu Han was no more than a small shrimp.

Yet, that giant eye seed to have a particular fondness for this little shrimp. A wisp of Dao’s might descended. Though it didn’t even possess one hundred-millionth of the giant eye’s power, it was still enough to overwhelm him. Even his newly condensed divine sense showed signs of collapsing.

Not far away, the group was rendered immobile. Their faces were blank with confusion. Even their thoughts seed to have co to a halt.

Ah Sha was no exception. Only Gu Tian stared intently at Gu Han, his black eyes revealing hints of anxiety and concern. His demonic qi trembled incessantly, as if trying to break through this suppression. However, he ultimately did not manage to break free.

The shadow was still cursing, “Why am I so unlucky to end up in your hands! It’s over! All over! I can’t get my revenge! My disciple is gone too!”

If Gu Han died fighting soone, he still had a high probability of escaping. However, the Dao’s might regarded him as part of Gu Han. They could only die together.

Gu Han felt even more aggrieved than him. I’m the one with the ten rings! I’ve also surpassed those nine-ring geniuses by a lot. And this is the treatnt I get?

In his bitterness, he forgot a crucial fact: if the Dao’s might had intended to kill him, he would have perished long ago.

Suddenly, the endless thunder exploded. Heaven and earth turned even darker, reaching the point where nothing could be seen. Just then, a chaotic, vast, desolate, and emotionless will descended.

Gu Han’s heart instantly sank. Oh no!

He had a premonition that if this will landed on him, his fate would absolutely be countless tis more miserable than death. He desperately wanted to resist, but couldn’t even lift a finger. What chance did he have?

At the mont between life and death, a strange thought flashed. Does this count as being envied by heaven too?

Almost at the sa instant, that will fell upon him. Deep within his sea of consciousness, the Great Evolution Sword Scripture burst forth with brilliant golden light, as if sensing his plight. The golden characters blurred for an instant, then shattered. It transford into hundreds of millions of tiny sword intents that hovered within the consciousness space.

Upon seeing the sword intents like hundreds of millions of stars, the shadow muttered to himself, “It’s strong... so strong...”

Gu Han’s level was too low, so he only felt these sword intents were very powerful. In contrast, as a Demon Monarch, the shadow could better appreciate how terrifying they were. They could annihilate him at his peak.

It wasn’t weakness, but an insurmountable disparity in power—stone facing immortal tal.

In the next mont, the hundreds of millions of starlight points resonated. A mysterious aura descended to shield Gu Han. Indescribable and inexplicable, it seed to waver between reality and illusion. The will flowed endlessly over Gu Han, seeming to perceive everything about him clearly and thoroughly, yet at the sa ti nothing at all.

After a long while, it slowly dissipated, as if it had failed to find what it sought. Gu Han finally regained his ability to move. He gasped for breath, almost soaked with sweat.

Even though the Great Evolution Sword Scripture protected him at the critical mont, the will’s might nearly destroyed his entire consciousness. If not for his exceptional composure, he would likely have lost his mind.

A wave of lingering fear washed over him. “That was close! Next ti, I must not—”

He hadn’t finished speaking when the will returned and descended upon him once more. Not only was its might nearly ten tis greater, it also carried a faint trace of violent, fiery intent.
