Chapter 1012 The Only Fool Here Is You, Vengeance of the Swords, Rusted Swords and New-Forged Sabers
Inside the Slumbering Sword Ocean, the Saber Crown had used his final trump card to defeat Chu Kuangren — the Despairing Thousand Saber Formation!
Tens of millions of sabers hovered in the air, their boundless saber qi sweeping throughout the whole area, shaking the heavens and earth!
As for Chu Kuangren, he was locked on by the countless strands of saber qi, which made him look tiny in the face of such an attack.
Even the Immortals watching the battle did not have high hopes for his survival.
The Azure Dragon Elder from the Divine Dragon Island shook his head and said, “I’m not sure even I can break through a great formation like this.”
Everyone felt that Chu Kuangren was doomed.
As one of the higher-ups of Divine Dragon Island, the Azure Dragon Elder was an Earthen Immortal. If someone like him could not break through that formation, let alone Chu Kuangren.
“It seems like Chu Kuangren is going to meet his end this time,” said Elder Sunfall as he shook his head.
Standing beside him and holding a long spear, the Spear Crown’s face turned cold. “What a shame that I can’t take revenge for Wuji now.”
Meanwhile, thousands of yokai had gathered within the void.
The one leading them was a Golden Crow Guardian in golden armor. “Commander Moya, what should we do now?” asked one Golden Crow Guardian to another.
The one who was referred to as Commander Moya was a man with black hair and blood-red eyes. He had a menacing air about him that made anyone shudder.
That Golden Crow Guardian was a powerful ancient yokai, a Blood-Eyed Crow!
Its species was second only to the divine beasts themselves.
Although Commander Moya’s bloodline was not that pure, it was enough for him to gain a high standing among the Golden Crow Guardians. He was now one of their four commanders and a Ninth-grade Immortal.
“According to the Yokai Ruler’s orders, if we can’t catch him alive, his corpse will be fine too. Most importantly, we must get the Azure Phoenix Mirror within his body. It’ll be easier to take it once he’s dead.”
“Let’s wait and continue observing for now,’ said Commander Moya.
“Alright.”
Inside the Despairing Thousand Saber Formation, while Chu Kuangren was facing a vast sea of saber qi, everyone outside had lost hope in him. However, he still appeared very calm about this.
“You said this is your home ground, huh?” Chu Kuangren looked at the Saber Crown calmly. “That’s right. Isn’t it obvious? Just look at this Despairing Thousand Saber Formation,” the Saber Crown replied with a frown.
He was very displeased with Chu Kuangren’s fearless expression. After all, he believed that Chu Kuangren would never survive the Slumbering Sword Ocean’s strongest trump card.
He was eager to see the look of horror and fear on his opponent’s face.
However, Chu Kuangren’s expressions have not changed at all. It was as if… everything was within his control!
It was as if the one in danger was not Chu Kuangren but the Saber Crown.
That made the Saber Crown extremely annoyed.
“How are you sure? Don’t you think that the Slumbering Sword Ocean might be my home ground instead?” Chu Kuangren suddenly said in a pensive tone.
The Saber Crown sneered when he heard that. “I think you must’ve gone crazy to say something like this. Now die.”
Not wanting to waste any more time with Chu Kuangren, he decided to attack.
With a thought in his mind, he raised his Azure Python and used his saber intent to control the formation, unleashing countless strands of saber qi toward Chu Kuangren.
Yet, at that moment, an inexplicably terrifying Immortal Consciousness power suddenly erupted from Chu Kuangren’s body!
That Immortal Consciousness turned into mind power that merged with his source energy. With that, his sword qi aura grew stronger and allowed him to block every incoming saber qi.
“Immortal Consciousness? You’ve unlocked the Immortal Consciousness power?”
The Saber Crown was a little shocked.
Besides him, the other cultivators were so shocked that they looked as if they had seen a ghost. Seeing an Immortal Progeny that has not become an Immortal unlocking the Immortal Consciousness power completely shattered their cultivation worldview.
However, that was not the end of it.
An incomparably powerful Immortal Physique energy fluctuation emerged from Chu Kuangren’s body and swept across the Slumbering Sword Ocean in an instant.
Outside the Slumbering Sword Ocean, the swords owned by every sword cultivator started trembling until they got out from their master’s grasp and flew towards the Despairing Thousand Saber Formation.
“You fool!” The Saber Crown snorted, and surges of scary saber qi appeared from the formation, knocking back all the incoming longswords. “Do you think you’ll stand a chance against my great formation by using your Immortal Physique to control thousands of swords?! If that were the case, do you think my formation is just for show?”
The other cultivators agreed with him as well.
“The only fool here is you!” Chu Kuangren uttered indifferently, his eyes lighting up like torches. The next instant, a series of rumbling came from the depths of the Slumbering Sword Ocean.
Everyone was immediately alerted by the sudden commotion, and they quickly looked over with surprise.
“What’s going on?”
“What is happening?!”
The Saber Crown’s expression changed. “Could it be…”
From the depths of the Slumbering Sword Ocean, a gray torrential flow burst into the air, and within it were jam-packed with countless swords!
Most of them were rusted swords!
“T-Those are the swords inside the Slumbering Sword Lake.”
The Saber Crown was shocked to recognize where those swords came from, and his disciples, having come back to their senses, could not believe their eyes as well.
“How could this be? The swords inside the Slumbering Sword Lake are all busted swords. How can they unleash such a terrifying power!”
“This is impossible. How can a bunch of useless broken swords have such power!”
The Slumbering Sword Ocean’s main tenet was to defeat all the swordsmen in the world. For every swordsman they defeated, they would usually collect the swords of their opponent as a reward and toss them into the Slumbering Sword Ocean.
Just how many swords have been gathered inside the Slumbering Sword Ocean all these years? Millions!
There were much more compared to all sabers in the Slumbering Sword Ocean!
Right now, those broken swords had once again emerged from their graves in the Slumbering Sword Ocean with tremendous rage and hatred. They were no different from the sword demons and ghouls that crawled out from hell!
Even the Saber Crown was terrified by such power.
“Chu Kuangren…”
The Saber Crown glared at Chu Kuangren with shock in his eyes. Never did he expect that Chu Kuangren could control the swords within the Slumbering Sword Lake!
The millions of swords that had so much rage within them immediately slammed into the Despairing Thousand Saber Formation, creating an opening within no time. All of them soon flew towards Chu Kuangren and hovered around him, fully prepared to carry out his every command.
If those broken swords were the ghouls and Ashuras of hell, then Chu Kuangren would be none other than the ghoul-enslaving lord of hell itself!
“So many broken swords have been piling up deep within the Slumbering Sword Ocean. For a long time, you have been benefiting from cultivating their naturally produced rageful sword qi. I bet you didn’t expect that the swords, which you see as mere tools, would return and take vengeance upon you one day,” said Chu Kuangren to the Saber Crown.
Upon hearing that, the Saber Crown’s expression turned terribly grim. “The masters and owners of these swords were nothing but defeated opponents of my Slumbering Sword Ocean. With their masters long gone, what can a bunch of useless swords possibly do?!”
“Oh, why don’t you give it a try then?” Chu Kuangren said.
The Saber Crown said nothing more. He immediately channeled his saber intent and the saber qi within the formation, unleashing an attack on Chu Kuangren once more.
Chu Kuangren did not move. Forming a sword hand sign, the broken swords around him immediately charged forth, their rageful sword qi raging like a great ocean towards the saber attack. It was as if the swords were ferocious beasts, chipping apart the saber qi, continuously breaking them apart.
“A bunch of broken swords should just remain broken!”
The Saber Crown roared while channeling the power of his Despairing Thousand Saber Formation to its fullest potential. With that, countless waves of saber qi gushed out.
Chu Kuangren remained calm and continued retaliating with rageful sword qi attacks. The sabers inside the great formation were all newly forged, whereas Chu Kuangren’s swords were all rusted and looked as if they would break upon a single touch.
It was then that the rusty swords and newly forged sabers collided!
