The Sword Coffin Returns to Its Place!!

Yu Changbo was shaken to the core, his pupils shrinking and trembling uncontrollably. "No... impossible..." "That's an independent domain!! He couldn't possibly sense it!!!" Li Guanqi's arm underwent Dragon Transformation, its terrifying might tearing through the surrounding void across hundreds of zhang, shredding it inch by inch like ripped cloth. Cold glints flickered in his eyes as he bellowed, "World Annihilation!!" Rumble! The thunderclouds above his head, previously suppressed, finally bared their vicious fangs. In practically an instant, they ripped apart and devoured the opponent's thunderclouds! Purplish-black lightning surged with an aura of destruction, pouring into the sword light. As he swung his sword down, the spirit-treasure-grade sword in Li Guanqi's hand shattered inch by inch, unable to bear the immense power! Carrying world-destroying might, the sword light crashed down in an instant! At that moment, the peak of Jiuli Divine Peak was sheared clean off by the single strike. Under the horrifying release of power, a crisp crack seemed to ring out through heaven and earth. Immediately following, a mysterious domain space was unveiled before everyone's eyes. In a col among the majestic mountains stood an ancient and mysterious altar. The altar gave off an eerie, hazy glow, shrouding the sword coffin floating midair within it. Yet at this moment, that ancient altar began to crumble from the lingering force of the sword light. Li Guanqi's eyes flickered. After years apart, he was finally looking upon his sword coffin once more! But right after, Li Guanqi's face darkened. He discovered that nearly a quarter of the pitch-black stone-carved patterns on the sword coffin had been wiped away! The sword coffin was meant to conceal the sword spirit's aura. To think it had actually been damaged to such an extent! A blaze of fury flared within Li Guanqi's heart. He turned, glaring furiously at the figures speeding toward him. His figure teleported, and at the same time, he raised both hands and slammed them down against empty space. His eyes locked onto the six rushing attackers as he muttered in a low voice, "Bloodlust: Ten Thousand Swords God Burial!" Buzz! In an instant, heaven and earth roiled. Behind Li Guanqi, purplish-black spirit swords materialized one after another. Ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand! A dense swarm of spirit swords floated behind Li Guanqi. With a wave of Li Guanqi's arm, countless spirit swords shot forth, carrying surging, terrifying sword intent! At the same time, the power of heaven and earth poured abruptly into the spirit swords. The dark clouds across the sky seemed to boil, augmenting them with myriads of thunderbolts! Boom! Boom! Boom! Fierce explosions from the spirit swords detonated incessantly, urgent and murderous like the beating of war drums between two clashing armies! The hurtling spirit swords screeched with piercing sword cries. Gradually, sprays of blood mist erupted from the six cultivators! Streaks of bloody wounds opened across their bodies. While not fatal, they looked thoroughly battered and disheveled. Bear in mind that Li Guanqi was only a single person! To think that with just one move, he had suppressed all six of them on the spot, unable to budge! It had only been some ten breaths. The overwhelming strength Li Guanqi displayed inflicted an indescribable sense of suffocation upon the watching cultivators. That suffocation stemmed partly from Li Guanqi's formidable power, and partly from his utter lack of fear before six Mahayana cultivators, his counterattack devastating and his mind crystal clear. Over ten thousand spirit swords forcibly pinned the six in place. Meanwhile, Li Guanqi reached out, pulled down a spirit sword, and stood at the edge of the altar. Li Guanqi took a deep breath and slashed the sword viciously down toward the altar! Thud! Heaven and earth tore open with a pitch-black rift several hundred zhang long. This was the Ethereal Immortal Domain! A place where Void Refining Realm cultivators could not tear space, and where even those in the Body Integration Realm might not necessarily shatter the void. Yet now, a casual slash from Li Guanqi possessed such terrifying might. Rumble! A thunderous roar echoed from behind Jiuli Divine Peak. Everyone clearly saw the concealed domain space shatter in an instant. The altar was cleft in two by the sword light, bursting into countless fragments. A streak of flowing light shot straight up into the clouds! The pitch-black stone sword coffin flew directly toward that figure high in the sky. Li Guanqi reached out and caught the sword coffin, slinging it across his back. A long-lost familiarity washed over him instantly! A woman's calm, gentle voice murmured with a touch of pleasant surprise, "You've come." Li Guanqi's heart settled. Hearing the sword spirit's voice, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly as he said softly, "I'm sorry I'm a little late." "It doesn't matter. As long as you can come, no amount of time is too late." Li Guanqi didn't sense the auras of Jiuxiao or Pengluo, which meant those two fellows were also safe. Skre-e-e-ch! A piercingly resonant sword cry suddenly tore through the sky! A blood-red longsword surged toward the heavens, its four-foot blade appearing to ripple with bloody light. As Red Lotus swept into the clouds, it dyed the thunderclouds across ten thousand zhang crimson. Whoosh! Li Guanqi could clearly sense Red Lotus's delight and excitement. Shing! Li Guanqi gripped Red Lotus tightly in his left hand, a long-lost familiarity traveling up from his palm. His emotions rippled faintly for a moment, and his gaze grew increasingly sharp upon his aloof face. The corners of his lips curved up as he murmured softly, "Apocalypse: Red Lotus!!!" Boom! Furious sword qi crisscrossed the void, cleaving through heaven and earth. Centered around Li Guanqi, the space within a thousand zhang was engulfed by endless lightning, fractures shattering across the void! Right then, fine purple dragon scales surfaced across Li Guanqi's entire upper body! With his terrifying power, merely standing still placed a burden on the void that it could barely bear! Seeing this, Yu Changbo and the others couldn't help but draw sharp breaths of cold air. The power Li Guanqi was currently displaying completely overturned their understanding of cultivation realms! Atop a distant mountain peak, a grim-faced young man cradled a golden spear, his eyes narrowed as he watched Li Guanqi holding the sword. He murmured in disbelief, "So this is him in his prime... What terrifying strength..." The newcomer was none other than Xu Junlin, who had caught wind of the news! After six years apart, Xu Junlin had also broken through to the Mahayana realm. Even though Xu Junlin was normally arrogant and thought highly of his own prowess, looking at the current Li Guanqi, he could only shake his head with a bitter smile. The petals on Red Lotus's hilt blossomed. Li Guanqi closed his eyes, feeling the familiar weight hanging against his back, and finally found true peace of mind. When he opened his eyes, they held a pride that looked down on all creation! With a lift of his hand, space tore apart, and the space within a thousand zhang turned into a living purgatory of lightning! All the onlookers were displaced and shoved outward. Yu Changbo swallowed hard, knowing this battle was unavoidable. Right after, more than a dozen figures rose into the air from Jiuli Divine Peak, struggling against the oppressive pressure! Li Guanqi sneered, "Yu Changbo, you should know... bringing them out is nothing more than sending them to die." Yu Changbo's face was extremely unsightly. He knew Li Guanqi was telling the truth, but if there were enough Body Integration Realm cultivators, they might still pose a threat! Then Yu Changbo froze slightly. Without realizing when it had happened, he had already become convinced that their six Mahayana cultivators could not kill Li Guanqi! Lightning armor clad Li Guanqi's body, his eyes chilling to the extreme. With a wave of his hand, dozens of pillars of lightning manifested instantly! The dozen or so Body Integration Realm cultivators had virtually no ability to resist before they were suppressed by the grand momentum of heaven and earth. Immediately following, bizarre sealing pillars of light pinned every single one of them in place. Yu Changbo and the other five dodged frantically, looking in horror at Li Guanqi's right hand forming hand seals. Li Guanqi sneered. As wind surged and clouds gathered, hundreds of lightning spears plunged from the heavens! In an instant, heaven and earth turned into an enormous thunder pool. The bodies of the dozen-plus Body Integration mighty figures were impaled by countless lightning spears! Annihilated!! Li Guanqi said in a chilling voice, "Don't be in a rush. Every last one of you... must die!!!!"
