"This is the moment I've been waiting for."
Li Taiqing had his reasons for coming here.
He was certain that only this many people had come.
Since that was the case, he stopped holding back.
The next second, the Immortal Sword in his hand let out a clear, resonant sword cry, soaring straight into the nine heavens.
Li Taiqing's Aura surged dramatically, vast and mighty, and his enormous Sword Intent transformed into a gray, terrifying Sword Dao Domain that seemed capable of reducing all things to nothingness!
"Swords, come!"
As Li Taiqing roared, he pointed his sword at the sky.
Countless Immortal Swords appeared from his body, tens of thousands of sword shadows rapidly intertwining and swirling in the air, instantly forming a profoundly mysterious and massive illusory Sword Formation that enveloped the heavens and earth!
Within the Sword Formation, tribulation clouds gathered, lightning flashed and thunder roared, wind and fire intertwined as if creating heaven and earth. A terrifying Sword Intent, capable of severing Karma and executing Immortals and Gods, shrieked within it!
It was precisely the Sword Dao Divine Ability created by Han Xuanji, the Nine Tribulation Immortal Execution Sword Formation!
When wielded by someone with the Chaos Physique, this formation can unleash even greater power, drawing upon Chaos Tribulation Force to transform into Immortal Execution Sword Qi, possessing boundless might.
"What?"
"What kind of sword technique is this?..."
The seven Golden Crow Taiyi Golden Immortals' expressions changed drastically. They were horrified to discover that under the suppression of this suddenly appearing terrifying Sword Formation, the radiance of their various Divine Abilities rapidly dimmed, and the Immortal Execution and God-Slaying Aura emanating from the Sword Formation made their Divine Souls tremble!
"I must also thank Master for bestowing these nine top-grade Immortal Swords upon me."
Li Taiqing mused to himself.
After he broke through to Taiyi Golden Immortal, Han Xuanji generously bestowed nine Immortal Swords upon him, each a top-grade Immortal Sword of extraordinary power.
"Quick! Join forces to resist!"
The strongest Golden Crow Clan Elder roared hoarsely, no longer caring about attacking, frantically channeling his magic power to form a massive golden fire shield.
However, the power of this Immortal Execution Sword Formation far exceeded their imagination.
As the Sword Qi swept past, the seemingly solid golden fire shield was pierced through like paper!
Giving the opponents no chance to breathe, Li Taiqing once again invoked a sword incantation.
"Ah——!"
Screams rang out one after another. Two Golden Crows in the Middle Stage of Taiyi, unable to dodge in time, were struck by several Sword Qi. Their protective True Fire instantly dissipated, their bodies were directly split in half, their Divine Souls suffered heavy damage, and their Auras were faint.
"Die!"
Li Taiqing's eyes were cold as he unleashed the strongest attack he could currently perform.
In the center of the Sword Formation, space suddenly collapsed, and endless Immortal Execution Sword Qi burst forth from the Void Realm, like ten thousand swords returning to their source, striking the remaining five Golden Crows from every spatial dimension!
This attack was unavoidable!
"Damn it!"
The leading Golden Crow Elder's eyes were bloodshot. He burned his Origin essence blood, transforming into a giant three-legged Golden Crow phantom to try and withstand it, while the other four Golden Crows also used their life-saving trump cards.
After the violent explosions and Sword Qi shrieks that sounded almost simultaneously, the fiery Golden Crow phantom shattered, its true body was stained with blood, its wings were broken, and its Aura plummeted to rock bottom.
The other four Golden Crows fared even worse: two were instantly torn into blood mist by countless Sword Qi, their Divine Souls extinguished; the remaining two had half their bodies annihilated, with only their remnant souls wailing and fleeing.
Seven Taiyi Golden Immortals, who had joined forces to pursue, were, in just a few breaths, counter-killed by Li Taiqing using the Nine Tribulation Immortal Execution Sword Formation, resulting in four deaths, one severely wounded, and two on the verge of death!
The leading Golden Crow Elder looked at Li Taiqing, who seemed like a Sword Immortal descended from the heavens, in disbelief.
Li Taiqing also showed signs of fatigue between his brows. Just as he locked his Sword Intent onto the Divine Souls of the remaining few, preparing to completely resolve this Karma.
An ancient voice slowly descended:
"What a Human Race Sword Cultivator, but you should stop now."
Along with this voice, a figure filled with Grand Unity pressure slowly appeared, clearly intending to stop Li Taiqing from continuing the slaughter.
It was an old man dressed in a dark golden feather robe with a dignified face, a flame divine pattern on his forehead pulsating like a living thing.
It was precisely the Grand Unity Golden Immortal of the Golden Crow Clan who presided over this region—"Immortal King Sheng Yan."
"Old Ancestor!"
Upon seeing this figure appear, the leading Golden Crow Elder was immediately overjoyed.
"Quickly kill this villain and avenge us."
"Hmph."
Immortal King Sheng Yan snorted coldly upon hearing this, deeply disappointed by the performance of these seven.
Seven against one, and they couldn't win; they truly shamed their Golden Crow Clan.
However, they were Taiyi Golden Immortals after all, and couldn't just die for nothing.
Immortal King Sheng Yan fixed his gaze on Li Taiqing, seemingly wanting to see through everything about him.
The pressure was immense, making Li Taiqing's entire body stiff, as if an ancient divine mountain was pressing down on him. However, he still forced himself to speak his thoughts:
"Senior, are you planning to tear up the treaty?"
There were unwritten rules in the war between the two races: beings above the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm were not allowed to interfere in battles.
Otherwise, if Grand Unity Golden Immortals and Primordial Chaos Immortals truly fought, the Immortal Domains would be shattered.
Hearing this, Immortal King Sheng Yan's lips curved into an arc, as if he had heard something ridiculous.
"Treaty? Or the unwritten rule you imagine?"
Immortal King Sheng Yan shook his head and said calmly:
"The heavenly secrets here are chaotic, and Karma is not evident. Isn't that precisely why you succeeded?"
As his words fell, Immortal King Sheng Yan bothered no more with idle talk. He slowly raised his hand, and a wisp of golden light flickered at his fingertip, seemingly revealing Li Taiqing's true Origins.
"To be able to deal with seven of my clan's Taiyi Golden Immortals as a Taiyi Golden Immortal... This King is very interested in you."
"It appears to be the Chaos Physique?"
Immortal King Sheng Yan had originally been contemplating whether to let the opponent go, but upon seeing Li Taiqing possess the Chaos Physique, he immediately dismissed that idea.
This child must be taken away.
He absolutely cannot be allowed to return to the Human Race.
Immortal King Sheng Yan first stabilized the Divine Souls of the remaining three, then, without further words, he no longer merely released pure pressure, but extended his palm.
In an instant, a gigantic golden hand appeared out of thin air above Li Taiqing's head, gripping down fiercely with the intent to capture!
"Immortal King Sheng Yan is no ordinary Grand Unity Cultivator..."
The leading Golden Crow Elder watched this good show, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Li Taiqing, already quite exhausted, felt even more powerless.
The Nine Tribulation Immortal Execution Sword Formation let out one last unwilling wail, completely collapsing. The nine top-grade Immortal Swords dimmed, wailing as they flew back to Li Taiqing's side.
The gap was too vast!
Upon reaching Grand Unity Golden Immortal, there was a leap in improvement.
Even though Li Taiqing now possessed the Chaos Physique and was aided by numerous top-grade Immortal Artifacts, he was still unable to resist this power.
The golden hand merely paused for a moment before pressing down with an unstoppable force.
Immortal King Sheng Yan's expression showed no joy or anger; taking down this Taiyi Golden Immortal Cultivator was no difficult feat for him.
However, under this pressure, Li Taiqing did not panic; instead, he showed a look of delight.
This made the remaining few present unable to understand.
"Is this guy scared silly?"
The two who were now mere remnant souls first laughed in confusion, but soon discovered something was amiss.
Time, it seemed, had stopped.
Immortal King Sheng Yan's imposing golden giant palm froze in mid-air without any warning.
And the sky, too, had strangely darkened.
Unbeknownst to them, a hand large enough to cover the sky appeared, seemingly intending to envelop the entire world within it.
