Kill!
Over a hundred human cultivators charged into the horde of demonic beasts. The beasts on all sides surged towards the crowd like a tide, their numbers so vast they seemed capable of instantly engulfing the human cultivators.
Fortunately, Zhang Fan's Domain of the Sword enveloped them. While Zhang Fan did not actively manipulate its power, the inherent might of the domain, with its ubiquitous sword intent, was sufficient to easily slay any demonic beast below the Fourth Tribulation realm.
In an instant, tens of thousands of demonic beasts perished within the Domain of the Sword. Some had their heads severed by spontaneously formed sword intent, their blood gushing out, while others were torn apart by the rules of the sword, their flesh and blood flying.
Corpses of numerous flying beasts rained down from the sky. The very earth turned blood-red, and within a thousand-mile radius, a blood-red rain fell. The pungent smell of blood rapidly permeated the air.
Even so, countless demonic beasts at the Golden Core stage and lower-level Nascent Soul stage were driven by their beast kings, utterly fearless of death, and continuously rushed into the Domain of the Sword. In mere moments, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood formed around them.
The human cultivators within the domain, though not suppressed by the domain's power, truly felt its terror.
Xiao Kun, as the Hall Master of the Fengyun Hall of the Sixth Royal Mansion, had reached the peak of the Sixth Tribulation realm before entering the Great Luo Realm. After entering, he utilized the resources he acquired to successfully overcome the Seventh Tribulation of the Nascent Soul.
His cultivation had now reached the peak of the Seventh Tribulation, just one step away from the Eighth Tribulation. However, his Nascent Soul was merely an ordinary silver one, making it extremely difficult to fight against opponents of higher realms.
Yet, within this Domain of the Sword, the power of the demonic beasts was greatly suppressed, and with the domain's aid, he was able to fight on equal footing with a demonic beast at the peak of the Eighth Tribulation.
His heart was filled with excitement. With the domain's assistance, the human cultivators were like fish in water. The longer the battle raged, the more disadvantageous it would be for the demonic beasts. If the fight continued, it was only a matter of time before the peak Eighth Tribulation beast king was defeated.
It wasn't just Xiao Kun; many human cultivators realized this, and their fighting spirit intensified. Normally, hunting demonic beasts of the same level was incredibly difficult for them. Today, within the Domain of the Sword, they were actually able to hunt beasts stronger than themselves.
Hunting powerful demonic beasts not only yielded valuable cultivation resources but also greatly aided their cultivation by allowing them to comprehend higher-level powers.
For cultivators below the Ninth Tribulation realm, this was a good opportunity to hone their skills. However, for the peak Nascent Soul cultivators, it was a feast of slaughter. Gong Yiyi of the True Fire Cave Heaven, who had to care for the disciples of lower cultivation from her sect, could not yet fully unleash her power.
But Zhang Fan, Shen Feichen, and the brother-sister duo Canglan Mingyue and Canglan Qiuyue were completely in a killing frenzy. Each of them possessed at least the strength of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. Within this Domain of the Sword, any demonic beast below the Ninth Tribulation realm was no match for them.
Zhang Fan wielded his iron sword, transforming into lightning, and reaped a harvest amidst the beast horde with unparalleled speed. His iron sword was stained with the blood of countless demonic beasts, and the dense aura of blood fiend was almost tangible.
As Zhang Fan's natal blood-refined divine weapon, it could absorb the blood fiend aura to grow. Although the iron sword had devoured considerable vital blood from cultivators before, it paled in comparison to the current situation, like a drop in the ocean.
Canglan Mingyue and Canglan Qiuyue, one with a saber and the other with a sword, weaved through the beast horde. Wherever they passed, countless demonic beast heads flew, their hot demonic blood sprayed, and their demonic Nascent Souls were dug out before they could even escape their bodies.
Although their Canghai Palace had deep foundations, opportunities to acquire such a large number of high-level demonic beast Nascent Souls were rare. The two naturally cherished them immensely.
With Zhang Fan's cover, Shen Feichen no longer had to worry about the safety of the cultivators from the Sixth Royal Mansion and unleashed his full power. Relying on his formidable physique, he charged through the beast horde, shattering one demonic beast after another with his peerless boxing techniques. Even weaker Ninth Tribulation demonic beasts couldn't withstand him.
Although Liu Mu's realm was only at the peak of the Eighth Tribulation, with his top-tier golden Nascent Soul and exquisite swordsmanship, the strength he displayed was significantly greater than that of an ordinary Ninth Tribulation cultivator.
Dressed in snow-white robes, he wielded a three-foot-long Qingfeng sword, darting through the beast horde, his every strike a killing blow.
His sword remained untainted by blood, his body undefiled, performing a beautiful yet chilling art of slaughter.
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon transformed into its true form, rampaging freely. As if possessing an internal space, it devoured one demonic beast after another, its aura rapidly growing.
Lin Haotian, Luo Xiaoxiao, Wuchen Sword Immortal, and Tianhua Tianjun formed a team and refined a Heavenly grade Four Symbols Grand Formation. These individuals, already formidable, became virtually invincible under Luo Xiaoxiao's leadership, as long as they deliberately avoided Ninth Tribulation demonic beasts.
On the battlefield at this moment, there was no right or wrong, only the distinction between the strong and the weak. Any hesitation or mercy would only bring disaster.
Relying on Zhang Fan's Domain of the Sword, the human cultivators temporarily held an absolute advantage. Every breath, countless demonic beasts fell. However, the sheer number of demonic beasts was overwhelming. They could surround the vast dark plains, numbering at least several million. Although over ninety-nine percent of them were only Golden Core and low-level Nascent Soul demonic beasts, the number of beasts above the Fourth Tribulation realm still reached a terrifying figure.
As one demonic beast fell, several more would surge forward. The dense aura of blood fiend and the frenzied killing had driven many demonic beasts to lose their reason, fully displaying their bestial nature. Gradually, some human cultivators began to falter. Their physical bodies were torn apart by the demonic beasts, and their Nascent Souls were crushed, eliciting piercing screams.
In the outer regions of the Domain of the Sword, several beast kings observed. Simultaneously, beast kings guarding other directions of the dark plains were rapidly converging, surrounding the human cultivators from all sides.
To be a beast king signified intelligence and strength far exceeding ordinary demonic beasts. As countless demonic beasts were slaughtered, their eyes remained cold and emotionless. They watched the human cultivators' frenzied killing as if looking at the dead.
