Boom! Boom! Boom!
Another slash slowly came from the huge sword.
"Block it!"
Moving as one, the five sword spirits activated the sword array again which turned into a colorful light
column that blocked the huge sword in the sky.
Boom!
Another deafening explosions echoed around them when the two collided violently once again.
Surging waves of sword aura completely submerged the entire Divine Sword Mountain.
After the second attack,
the five sword spirits found their backs against the wall again.
All five swords of different colors were knocked down by a single attack from the huge sword.
However, something strange began to happen to the people of the four major forces.
Almost everyone connected to the array above the Divine Sword Mountain found their energy, sword
skills, and vitality in their bodies being rapidly drained.
White threads were sucking these elements out of their bodies.
Many weak people with low cultivation bases quickly discovered that their faces were rapidly aging.
Some young talented disciples appeared in their twenties, yet they became old in an instant. Wrinkles
appeared on their skin and their teeth clattered from their loose gums.
Blood even began pooling out the lips of some relatively weaker disciples and it made them look very
miserable.
Most of their vitality had been extracted already.
Those who were relatively powerful still found their bodies slowly weakening and slowly aging.
However, all of them knew that this was a battle for the honor of their sects and they had no choice but
to put up with it.
Although the array above the Divine Sword Mountain was very powerful,
it also consumed a lot of energy.
It was only through providing their energy together could the elites of the four major forces maintain the
operation of the array.
"We have to move faster.
We'll just end up suffering a great loss otherwise.
Some of the disciples won't ever recover already!"
Anxiety filled the governing gods of the four major forces when they found their disciples suffering for
the sake of their sects.
"Hurry up and end the battle as soon as possible!"
They quickly used various hand gestures to speed up the array.
Boom!
The huge sword formed by the array slashed at the five sword spirits once more.
"Block it!"
A loud shout left the five sword spirits at the same time. Moving as one, they stretched out their fingers
and activated the sword array which turned into a colorful light column that blocked the attack in the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A loud explosion erupted as the attacks of both sides collided.
Endless energy burst out and the sword aura rose like a raging tide.
Violent mushroom energy clouds popped up everywhere.
Even the entirety of the Sword Cosmos couldn't help but tremble!
"This is horrid!
Is this the trump card of the four major forces?
No wonder they rule over the Sword Cosmos!"
Countless strong cultivators couldn't help but scream from the distance. Shock filled them to the core
when they saw the true power of the array set up by the four major forces.
Many strong cultivators had been attracted at first by the fierce battle that was rarely seen in history
and found themselves unable to look away.
"Ha-ha! The four major forces live up to their reputation. We've always been a subsidiary force of the
Xi'men Clan.
Only the four major forces, with such an intimidating trump card, are able to rule the Sword Cosmos
forever and will never decline.
We will grow stronger together with the Xi'men Clan and enjoy a long prosperity!"
"Fortunately, I've always respected the four major forces and have never picked a fight with them.
Otherwise, they could use this array to smash me and my force into the ground with a single blow!"
"Damn it!
We have refused to give in to the four major forces for years and have been secretly competing with
them in the hopes of catching up with them. It even passed our minds to challenge them after we
surpassed them and then take their place!
But now it seems that we're incredibly stupid for believing in a pipe dream!
This is suicide.
The four major forces are too powerful, especially with this array. It will only take a single blow to
completely destroy our sect.
We have to change our strategy and try to get in the good graces of the four major forces in the future."
"You're right. We should bow our heads to the four major forces and surrender to their power!"
The strong cultivators from various sects could only look at the array above the Divine Sword Mountain
from afar. Many different feelings and ideas warred within their hearts.
Meanwhile,
a group of masters had already managed to quietly sneak in the Divine Sword World where the Divine
Sword Mountain was located.
They were masters of the Blade Cosmos.
All of them sneaked into the Divine Sword World to watch the battle on the Divine Sword Mountain
closer.
"I didn't expect that the four major forces could set up such a powerful array.
Fortunately, they didn't use this when they fought against us.
Otherwise, we would have been caught off guard and suffer a great loss."
"This array is really scary.
Seems like we severely underestimated the forces in the Sword Cosmos.
Although the Sword Cosmos has overall declined, there are still some powerful resources left behind,
like this array."
"We have to be careful in a fight against the people of the Sword Cosmos."
"We must report this to the senior leaders of our Blade Cosmos, so they can come up with a way to
deal with this array.
Otherwise, we can't pick a fight against the Sword Cosmos!"
Even the masters of the Blade Cosmos couldn't help but be shocked by the power of the array and
fearfully whispered to each other.
More than a dozen governing gods of the four major forces activated the array again and launched
another attack.
"Slash again!"
they shouted.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The huge sword condensed by the array continued to slash down at the Divine Sword Mountain
despite the five sword spirits doing their best to activate the sword array to resist.
It was a battle for the ages.
Even the entirety of the Sword Cosmos was affected by the battle. No matter how far it was from the
battlefield, even remote areas were left trembling.
Every inch of the Sword Cosmos was flooded by the energy produced by the battle and it caused
earthquakes and tsunamis, and made mountains collapse.
Countless creatures were left trembling in fear.
"Damn it! If we keep fighting like this,
we won't be able to hold on any longer!"
said the old man in white.
"I'm a little tired,"
agreed the old man in green.
"We can't give up no matter what.
Don't forget that protecting the Divine Sword Mountain is the greatest responsibility in our lives.
We would even sacrifice our lives for the sake of the Divine Sword Mountain!
Don't forget that even if we can't hold on, the Divine Sword Mountain will take action.
Although the array is powerful,
I believe that the Divine Sword Mountain can handle it,"
the old man in yellow encouraged.
