Jiang Chunye felt herself regain control of her facial expressions, and a smile crept onto her face. The mont the Sword Sovereign attacked, she must have released her technique, allowing Chunye to transform her body into a shadow-like state.
'I have no chance of defeating her. I have no choice but to escape!' Jiang Chunye thought. She transford into a streak of shadow and flew off into the horizon. Or, at least, she attempted to.
'Why can't I control my body?' Jiang Chunye asked herself. Except for everything above her neck, she couldn't feel anything else!
Just as panic settled in, she noticed her field of view fall, literally. Sothing slick and sticky coated her cheek, and Jiang Chunye knew what it was, the blood of the Buzhou Immortal Sect disciples she killed.
'No! Impossible!' Jiang Chunye wanted to scream, but because her head had been severed from her neck, she couldn't push any air through her vocal cords.
With a thud, Jiang Chunye watched in horror as her headless body collapsed in front of her. 'No, no, nooo!'
'That's it, I can just separate my soul from my body and flee!' Jiang Chunye thought, but she thought too optimistically. She should have noticed sothing was wrong when she couldn't even sense her head being sliced off her neck.
Her horror grew as she discovered that she was trapped in her flesh like a caged animal. No matter what she did or how much she struggled, she couldn't change her fate. As the light of vision faded from her eyes, the last thing Jiang Chunye saw was Hun Jusang's blackening eyes as he kneeled down to cradle her head.
ngfei looked down at the kneeling Hun Jusang. Her slash had already slain all the Leakless Sect disciples nearby. Only Jiang Chunye and Hun Jusang were the disciples of the Nihility Sect present in the Leakless Sect. And although Hun Jusang survived, black blood continuously leaked from the wound across his chest.
However, Hun Jusang acted as if it didn't exist, even as it stained Jiang Chunye's head. He continued to cradle it, mumbling, "Chunye, Chunye. There's no way you died like this, right? You were always so amazing, no one could keep you down for long. That's why, hurry up and open your eyes and call stupid for thinking you died."
ngfei raised her sword above her head. Everyone except a single person was to be killed except for one man. She brought her sword down.
The scene of Hun Jusang suddenly displaying power far greater than his realm suggested didn't occur. ngfei's sword sliced cleanly through him, head to toe—not even Jiang Chunye's head was spared.
The two halves of Hun Jusang split apart and fell onto their sides, dyeing the ground black with their blood. ngfei gazed at this with rippleless eyes before turning around and preparing to leave.
ngfei's foot paused as she slowly turned around. The black devil's blood started to spread and subrged everything as if it had turned into a black lake. The corpses, artifacts, vegetation, and very land itself disappeared. Once it neared ngfei's foot, she blasted a qi pulse, preventing the black blood from tainting her feet.
Oh, it tried. The black tried to climb up her barrier like tiny little mites scaling a foot, but flashes of qi later, the blood disintegrated around her. However, it wasn't done. As if on rewind, the black blood started to gather again. After the blood retreated, it only left behind barren land polluted with devil qi.
Hun Jusang's and Jiang Chunye's corpses had already rged into the black blood, and what was left was a floating sphere. ngfei's hand moved, and so did her sword.
The black blood sphere split in half, but ngfei's attack didn't have her desired result as a figure cloaked in black dropped down. The split shell the figure fell out of transford into robes that released mists of devil qi.
The figure stood up, revealing a complexion far too white, especially against her long hair that was blacker than ink. Aside from that, the girl looked exactly like Jiang Chunsang, except that she had a devilish allure the original didn't have.
"Who are you?" ngfei asked. She couldn't detect any signs of life from the girl, as if she wasn't alive. By conventional ans, anyway.
The unnad girl blinked. The whites of her eyes were pitch-black, and her irises were the color of envy. She smiled. "I am Chunsang."
The girl who identified herself as Chunsang opened her mouth to say more, but ngfei unleashed a second slash. A sword-shaped qi flew out and pierced Chunsang's forehead, causing her neck to snap at a ninety-degree angle.
"I hate you," Chunsang's voice sounded as her neck returned to normal, as if soone had physically snapped it back into place.
The hole in Chunsang's head allowed ngfei to see the other side, but no blood or brain matter leaked out despite the injury. In fact, ngfei couldn't even see any organs, bones, or flesh. It was as if Chunsang was just a blob plastered with human skin.
ngfei didn't waste any words as a violet, gold, and silver glow encased her crystalline sword. Chunsang must have sensed the danger because she turned tail and fled, but ngfei didn't give chase. She continued accumulating the power in her sword, and once it reached the optimal output, she slashed.
Seemingly for no reason, Chunsang collapsed onto the ground, and a mass of black tumor-like flesh peeled off her. She lay motionless, devoid of all life.
ngfei narrowed her eyes. Her left hand's forefinger twitched, and a gigantic crystalline sword over a hundred ters long pierced downward at Chunsang from the sky.
"Bitch!" Chunsang scread as her figure jumped out of the black tumorous mass. Her form had shrunken until she appeared to be twenty years old, but the malice in her eyes only intensified.
ngfei frowned. She continued to unleash sword qi after sword qi. Each ti her sword qi cleaved Chunsang, a hunk of black blobs would fall off her, and she would shrink in form and age.
With a wave of her sword, thousands of crystalline swords appeared around Chunsang. So nurous were the swords that it appeared as if a crystalline sphere had surrounded Chunsang. ngfei flicked her wrist, and the swords impaled Chunsang, leaving nothing behind but a black gurgling ss.
However, ngfei still wasn’t assured. She brought her left palm to her lips and gently blew. A black bubble ford above her palm and floated toward the bubbling pool of liquid. The closer it got, the larger it beca until it was over ten ters wide and encased the space around the bubbling liquid.
The black bubbling liquid squird as if sothing was trying to jump out and outside the bubble, but it was too late as ngfei whispered, "Collapse."
The bubble burst, revealing a pure white space where nothing existed. Dirt, oxygen, karma, and even the very space ceased to exist. The world closed in and nded the hole ngfei's technique caused.
ngfei nodded in satisfaction. She still had an immortal emperor to deal with. Her foot paused, and she turned around again. Her gaze lingered on the tumorous blobs that had fallen off Chunsang. She raised her sword.
"You goddamn bitch!"
The black tumorous masses gurgled as they rapidly expanded and conglorated together, forming a gigantic black figure. It was a muscled humanoid that resembled a cross between a man and a woman, with a long pointed tail, two bat-like ears, two curved horns, and two pairs of envious eyes of ruin.
Black tendrils sprouted from its back and speared towards ngfei, whose figure disappeared. When she reappeared, she was in the air above the thousand-ter-tall devil.
ngfei raised her sword again. She could sense that the devil was more of a spiritual body than a physical body, significantly lessening the oppression of her Eight Trigrams Tri-Unity World. A phantom sword longer than the devil's height appeared behind her. She slashed down, and the phantom sword followed suit.
The devil shouted so unintelligible string of words that she didn't recognize. It charged straight at the slashing sword with reckless abandon. Its tendrils shot forward but were all sliced. However, when the sword reached the devil's body, it only phased through, and the devil continued to run unimpeded.
ngfei raised her left hand in front of her. Just as the devil would crash into it, it disappeared. When the devil reappeared, it was shackled by spatial chains above the Leakless Sect.
The black crystalline sword in her hand disappeared into tiny motes of light, and ngfei ford several hand seals in quick succession. As she completed each one, a terrifying gravitational force shrouded the entire Tri-Unity World with the devil as the epicenter.
The devil roared as it curled up into a fetal position from the gravitational force. However, the roar slowly grew weaker, not because its volu had decreased but because the gravitational force pulled it back. Not just the devil but the land and buildings of the Leakless Sect were pulled toward the epicenter, chunk by chunk.
Even the cultivators were not spared, especially mortal cultivators. Almost every single one of them was pulled into the growing orb, their flesh crushed, and not even their souls could escape. Even true immortals too close to the epicenter could not escape the sa fate.
When the orb stopped pulling mass to itself, it had already reached the size of Earth's moon, perhaps even larger.
ngfei clasped her hands together. Just as she was about to fully press her palms together, she caught sothing shooting toward her from the corner of her eye. She dodged, but the object still struck her arm, wounding her arm and disrupting her seal.
The floating orb thrumd for a second and fell back to the land. Although it wasn't exactly what she had planned, it still resulted in the moon-sized orb flattening the Leakless Sect's headquarters. The orb crumbled into giant rocks, dirt, and everything that made it up, only malford.
However, ngfei ignored her handiwork as she observed her assailant. He flew toward her in a sword-shaped streak. She raised her uninjured right arm, and a black crystalline sword materialized in her hand.
Clang!
An elderly Daoist wearing silver robes clashed against ngfei, sword against sword. "You madwoman! Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Heavenly Dao for all the Karmic Sin you've accumulated?"
Although killing cultivators, who had not reached the Immortal Realm, would grant the sa amount of karma as a regular mortal was not much, ngfei killed millions. Even though she was an origin immortal, Karmic Sin would descend upon her.
"Have you gone blind, Emperor Solesword?" a voice shouted.
Chasing after Emperor Solesword were three emperor-level war formations led by three immortal monarchs. They had been tasked with killing Emperor Solesword, but they failed to blockade him, much less kill him. The war formations' auras flickered, having been injured by said emperor.
"Open your blind eyes and take a good look. What Karmic Sin are you talking about?" the war formation mocked. "Now, obediently accept your death! Your Leakless Sect is over!"
Emperor Solesword took a closer look and recoiled. He could not see a hint of Karmic Sin lingering around ngfei. In fact, he even saw a faint film of Karmic rit. How was this possible?
He growled and glanced at the coming war formations. "The Leakless Sect may fall today, but the disciples who have escaped won't let it end like this! They will avenge us!"
Emperor Solesword whirled toward ngfei as he blocked her incoming slash. "As for you, I'll take you down with ! I'll show you what it truly ans to be called a sword immortal, you fake!"
ngfei remained expressionless as she sent strike after strike against Emperor Solesword. Despite his superior swordsmanship, he could not overco ngfei's brute speed and strength, falling into a disadvantage. However, it was still abnormal.
A whole realm separated the two, yet he was able to deflect most of her blows while oppressed by her Eight Trigrams Tri-Unity World. It wasn't like Emperor Solesword was at the peak of the Extremity Immortal Realm. Had he been, it would have been much more reasonable to go toe to toe with ngfei, who was the Early Origin Immortal Realm.
Upon closer inspection, ngfei noticed a faint red wisp radiating off Emperor Solesword's body. Not just that, she can even sense soul particles rippling off him. He had used a forbidden technique to ignite both his blood essence and soul in order to gain a temporary surge of strength.
His current strength had even surpassed the half-sovereign from the Numinous Sword Sect ngfei had clashed with in the Vast Void, Emperor Yanxu. But there was a price. At the rate Emperor Solesword consud his blood essence and soul, he would not even last five minutes more.
"Coward, fight !" Emperor Solesword shouted as he saw ngfei retreating, and a hint of urgency appeared in his heart.
He waved his arm, and ten thousand sword artifacts appeared. They ford a giant rotating circle around him and ngfei. "Life and Death Duel Sword Formation, rise!"
ngfei felt the space around her solidify and twist. She opened her mouth and softly said, "Shatter."
In a split second, the rhythm of the ten thousand swords beca disoriented, and no matter what they did, they couldn't reorient themselves in a pattern again. But this was enough. Emperor Solesword only needed to distract ngfei that single mont.
Emperor Solesword's entered a stance with his beloved sword. His strength, speed, endurance, blood, soul, and even very emotions entered his sword. The sword was not him, but he was the sword.
"Cut."
The word spoken was from Emperor Solesword's mouth, but it contained nothing. No emotion, no thoughts, like a preprogramd puppet speaking as it was instructed.
Then, he slashed.
ngfei felt as if everything in her world was dyed silver. Her Eight Trigram Tri-Unity broke away from her control and transford into a sword world. No matter what she did, that slash would strike her.
"Pffft!" ngfei spat out a mouthful of blood as a bloody hole appeared in her chest, and blood leaked from her lips.
