Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 1659 - 1660: The Terrifying Sword Qi

The strength of these malevolent spirits almost matches that of ancient emperors, filled with Heaven-shocking resentment.

These malevolent spirits aim to kill everyone entering the temple, to keep them company in death.

A dozen malevolent spirits simultaneously attacked, launching a sneak attack on Chu Fengmian, using martial techniques that are mostly from the Buddhist sect.

It seems the malevolent spirits within are indeed former disciples of the Pure Land Sect, just as Chu Fengmian heard outside.

The decline of the Pure Land Sect had much to do with Pure Land Buddha Ancestor falling into demonic ways, transforming into the Blood Evil Demon Emperor.

Later, the Blood Evil Demon Emperor returned to the Pure Land Sect, essentially killing off most of its disciples within the Pure Land Buddha Temple, resulting in so many malevolent spirits.

This is why the Pure Land Sect eventually declined and vanished.

"Ancestral First Move!"

Facing threats from all directions, Chu Fengmian sneers and gathers Spiritual Power in his palm, sweeping it out to form a dragon claw that strikes fiercely.

Bang! Bang!

All malevolent spirits nearing Chu Fengmian were utterly destroyed.

His immediate task in the Pure Land Buddha Temple is to find the Emperor’s Crock shards, so he avoids entangling with these spirits.

After obliterating the spirits nearby, Chu Fengmian suddenly shut his eyes, and upon reopening them, spotted a path within the temple, swiftly moving into it.

Upon entering the Pure Land Buddha Temple, Chu Fengmian could distinctly feel the location of the Emperor’s Crock shards.

Following the direction indicated by the shards, he charged deeper into the temple.

Simultaneously, Chu Fengmian also sensed numerous demon clan experts following into the temple.

These demon clan experts rushed in and continued heading deeper into the temple.

The pathways in the Pure Land Buddha Temple number over a thousand, each one differs for those who enter.

Chu Fengmian sensed that the Emperor’s Crock shards were located at the end of these pathways. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The absence of Buddhist barriers in the Pure Land Buddha Temple is unlike in the tomb of the Golden Body Buddha Venerate.

It seems the barriers here were destroyed by the Blood Evil Demon Emperor, leaving traces of demonic intent in many places.

Demonic intent, malevolent spirits, it hardly seemed like Chu Fengmian was inside a temple anymore.

Rather than a temple, it seemed more like a burial site for numerous Pure Land Sect disciples.

The lack of Buddhist barriers made Chu Fengmian’s path smoother, destroying all malevolent spirits encountered.

"I wonder what is the sword energy that Meng Yanluo mentioned?"

As he continued on, Chu Fengmian pondered this matter.

Previously, Meng Yanluo mentioned the dangers within the Pure Land Buddha Temple.

Although Meng Yanluo did not mention the malevolent spirits, they did not pose any threat to a powerhouse like Chu Fengmian.

The strength of these spirits was far inferior to martial artists and demon clan members of similar realms, despite their formidable powers when alive, they were less than a tenth as strong in death.

Even malevolent spirits at the level of Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors could be obliterated by Chu Fengmian in a single move, hence they were not threats.

The threat Meng Yanluo mentioned was sword energy, which was particularly concerning for Chu Fengmian, a sword cultivator.

Yet, in the Pure Land Buddha Temple, Chu Fengmian had sensed no presence of sword energy.

During these thoughts, suddenly a shadow dashed toward Chu Fengmian.

"Another malevolent spirit?"

Thinking it was another spirit, Chu Fengmian gathered Spiritual Power and looked ahead, preparing to act, when he realized what he saw was actually a human-sized sword energy.

This sword energy embodied extreme dominative power, sensing Chu Fengmian, it came forth to strike him.

"Is this the sword energy Meng Yanluo spoke of?"

No sooner had Chu Fengmian been contemplating this subject than he encountered the sword energy.

This sword energy ruthlessly came down upon Chu Fengmian to strike.

Locked on by this sword energy, Chu Fengmian felt a chill, perceiving an immense danger.

"Sword, be drawn!"

The Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword shot from the Sword Box at Chu Fengmian’s back, wielded by him in a counter-strike.

Having faced countless life-and-death battles, Chu Fengmian had developed a sense of foresight towards danger.

This sword energy posed a significant threat to Chu Fengmian, it was the source of the strong sense of danger, so Chu Fengmian dared not underestimate it.

Injecting Spiritual Power into the sword edge, his strike soared into the sky, clashing fiercely.

"Bang!"

In the clash of sword energies, Chu Fengmian felt a sharp and overwhelming force trying to tear his body apart.

In that moment, the 129,600 blood crystal particles within Chu Fengmian’s body coalesced into a perfect form, withstanding the sword energy’s sharp force.

"What is this? How could a single sword energy possess such terrifying power?"

Chu Fengmian’s expression was one of intense shock.

He had just unleashed a considerable force; even four or five Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors striking simultaneously would have failed to breach his sword light.

Yet, in the moment of collision with the sword energy, Chu Fengmian endured immense pressure, his sword light was obliterated.

Had Chu Fengmian’s physical form not reached the stage of Semi-Immortal True Body,

The residual power from the sword energy might have completely destroyed his body, leading to corporeal obliteration.

It was terrifying for a single sword energy to contain such daunting power.

While Chu Fengmian was in shock, the sword energy surged towards him again, unwilling to spare him.

In an instant, the sword light split into countless fragments from all directions, striking at Chu Fengmian.

"A sword energy that understands swordsmanship?"

Seeing sword light strike from all directions, Chu Fengmian was utterly astonished.

Typically, sword energy is lifeless, formed by pure Sword Dao that gathers Spiritual Power to become sword energy.

Chu Fengmian was capable of effortlessly emitting thousands of sword energies.

But this sword energy before him seemed alive, capable of swordsmanship, and upon encountering Chu Fengmian, executed sword techniques to strike.

By employing swordsmanship, the power of this sword energy became even more terrifying by several folds.

The overwhelming sword energy clearly attempted to annihilate Chu Fengmian.

"Is this Supreme Sword Energy? This sword energy comprehends swordsmanship; regardless, it’s certainly a precious treasure with great utility for me. I intend to subdue this sword energy!"
