Ling Tian Sword God-Chapter 607 - 605: Heavenly Earth Energy Crowning_1

The outcome of the internal strife within the Saint Witch Religion soon spread throughout the entire Demon Way, the entire Earth Country, and even the entire Martial World. Xie Zhiqiu's Skypiercing Peak suffered a complete defeat while the Saintess Hall emerged fully victorious, with Saintess Xia Yunxin becoming the new Sect Leader, ranking first in the Demon Way.

However, there was news even more astonishing than this. The key figure in this civil war, Holy Son Ling Chen, who defeated Xie Zhiqiu and killed Xuanjizi and Demon Elder, was surprisingly the same person as the Sect Leader of the Cyan Robe Association and Dustless of the Unbeatable Sword Sect.

This news, without question, created a huge uproar throughout the Jianghu. Ling Chen, once wanted by the entire Righteous Martial World, had committed a great massacre in the Sky Void Palace and even become a public enemy of the Martial World. Dustless of the Unbeatable Sword Sect, whose name was known around the world, the new leader of the Cyan Robe Association, the world's number one master, and the most outstanding genius in history, was someone upon whom the people in the Martial World had placed high hopes.

Yet, these two individuals were actually one and the same. This was undoubtedly an inconceivable revelation.

「Myriad Dao Sect.」

Ling Chen, Dustless, the same person? Mo Tao was utterly astonished upon hearing this news.

Just then, a figure approached; it was the Myriad Dao Sect Master, Lu Youzhen.

"Sect Leader, do we need to remove this person from the World Master List?" Mo Tao asked after bowing to Lu Youzhen. He reasoned that since the World Master List involved measures of luck, removing Ling Chen, while not enough to completely halt his rising influence, could at least diminish his good fortune.

"There's no need for such a petty maneuver." Lu Youzhen waved his hand. "The World Master List's purpose is to rank the world's masters. How can anyone be removed arbitrarily? If he is truly to be delisted, someone must defeat him openly, ensuring a legitimate removal and an update to the rankings."

"Sect Leader, your insight is profound." Mo Tao nodded.

「Aqua Country, Sky Void Palace.」

In a frigid palace hall, where the cold permeated everything and the ground seemed coated in a thin layer of ice, a woman sat at its center. Her silhouette, clad in white like a snow lotus, was none other than Xu Ruoyan.

Just then, a bird flew in from outside the hall and landed before Xu Ruoyan.

Opening her eyes, Xu Ruoyan reached out, took the message from the bird, and glanced at it.

He is still as active as ever. A flicker of softness appeared in her beautiful eyes, but it vanished in an instant, replaced by an icy resolve as the paper in her hand crumbled to dust. Unfortunately, our paths are diverging more and more.

Xu Ruoyan shook her head, stood up, and walked towards the hall's entrance.

As she did so, a figure entered—it was Dong Shenglong, the Palace Master of the Sky Void Palace.

"I haven't seen you in months, Martial Niece Xu Ruoyan. Your Cultivation seems even more profound."

Upon seeing Xu Ruoyan, Dong Shenglong's eyes lit up. Her aura was noticeably stronger than before; She must have reached the Half-step Heavenly Extreme Realm. This level of Cultivation progress is truly unheard of! In my opinion, even the much-lauded Ling Chen cannot compare to Xu Ruoyan.

"Palace Master Dong, how are the preparations for the crusade against the Demon Cult?" Xu Ruoyan asked coldly.

"They were almost complete." Dong Shenglong looked troubled, but his tone quickly shifted. "However, things have changed. Previously, the Saint Witch Religion was split between two major factions, thoroughly divided and vulnerable. But now, Ling Chen and Saintess Xia Yunxin have unified the Saint Witch Religion. The entire sect, from top to bottom, is of one mind. They will likely be very difficult to confront."

"Absurd." Xu Ruoyan's voice grew even colder. "Opportunity is created by people; there's no such thing as a 'perfect' time. The Demon Cult has only recently been consolidated, and their strongest Skypiercing Peak Lineage was annihilated. The Vitality Energy of the Demon Cult has been severely depleted. This is precisely the opportune moment to strike and completely eradicate them!

"The Demon Cult has plagued the Martial World for many years. Every member of the Righteous Path despises them with a vengeance. Our call to crusade will surely rally widespread support. With such favorable conditions, why do you hesitate?"

"Very well." Dong Shenglong had no choice but to nod. If we can truly annihilate or severely cripple the Saint Witch Religion, then as the initiators, the Sky Void Palace's status in the Jianghu will undoubtedly soar.

However, even if he began preparations immediately, launching an offensive against the Saint Witch Religion would not be swift; a considerable period would be required.

Now that the general strategy of waging war against the Saint Witch Religion had been decided, the next step was to contact the various allied forces and determine a precise time for the offensive.

...

「Magic Fog Mountain.」

A light mist permeated the air, veiling the surroundings of the Jade Liquid Spirit Pool, located behind the Saintess Hall on the mountain, creating an ethereal, dreamlike scene akin to an Illusory Realm.

Within the Jade Liquid Spirit Pool, the water was clear, with white mist swirling over its surface. A graceful, slender figure was faintly visible within the pool. Her skin was as white as jade, her snow-like fragrant shoulders and lotus-root-like arms exposed to the air, resembling a Fairy Maiden. However, further down, the rolling white mist concealed the captivating sight below.

It was none other than Xia Yunxin.

At this moment, her eyes were tightly closed as she slowly absorbed the Energy from the pool's water. Meanwhile, above her head, in the Void, wind and clouds surged. A vortex was forming, emanating a powerful aura of Heavenly Earth Energy!

Channeling Heavenly Earth Energy for empowerment is an indispensable step to reach the Sky Apex Realm. In the center of the vortex, the Heavenly Earth Energy was compressed into a column, continuously distorting and changing shape, with faint, terrifying glints of lightning flickering within.

Not far away, Ling Chen and Lian Ji were carefully observing this scene. Further off, Black-robed figures stood guard; they were positioned at a distance and would only approach if summoned by Ling Chen. Should any abnormalities occur, Ling Chen was prepared to intervene.

So, this is the Heavenly Earth Energy empowerment. Ling Chen's expression turned solemn as he watched the phenomenon hovering over Xia Yunxin's head. To advance to the Sky Apex Realm, one must undergo the empowerment of Heavenly Earth Energy, completely refining it to achieve a breakthrough. Furthermore, the amount of Energy refined and the efficiency of this refinement will directly impact one's strength after entering the Sky Apex Realm. Therefore, this step is of paramount importance.

This is the watershed between the Sky Apex Realm and the Grand Master realm. No matter how formidable a Great Master Level Powerhouse may be, they can never compare to a Top Sky Apex Strong who has successfully refined Heavenly Earth Energy. Of course, anomalies like myself are an exception. Such individuals are exceedingly rare.ŸŸŸ

WHIZZ!

When the vortex had spun to a critical point, the column of lightning at its center suddenly erupted from the swirling phenomenon, shooting directly towards the crown of Xia Yunxin's head.

SWOOSH!

Simultaneously, Xia Yunxin's eyes snapped open. A faint, black light curtain instantly materialized around her.

BOOM!

The moment the column of lightning descended, dense torrents of electrical current abruptly diverged, penetrated the light curtain, and surged directly into Xia Yunxin's body.
