Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

"Report to the young master, this formation is different from the existing formations in the immortal realm. With our current power, we cannot break through the formation."

"Unable to break through the formation on the level of the formation, does that mean we can break through it on other levels?"

"Yes! We have identified several weak points in this formation. By forcefully attacking these weak points, we should be able to break through this formation."

Duanmu Qingyu nodded, very satisfied with the conclusion given by the clan members.

"Since that's the case, mark the weak points. Then...attack with full force!"

"Yes!"

On the Duanmu family's spirit boat, rows of cannon barrels emerged from both sides of the boat.

Each cannon was a combination of the efforts of a weapon refiner and a formation master. One-tenth of the materials used to make the cannons were materials for refining sacred artifacts, while the remaining nine-tenths were materials for refining imperial artifacts.

Paired with the precise formation units inside, each one laid down by excellent formation masters from the Duanmu family, even ordinary mortals without cultivation could release a spiritual energy projectile by supplementing it with spiritual stones.

These spiritual energy projectiles were enough to deal a blow to a holy realm expert.

However, these cannons were generally not operated by ordinary mortals. They were controlled by specially trained cultivators.

Cultivators who had received special training were more accurate in their shots, had greater power, and also consumed less spiritual energy.

When the stored spiritual energy in the cannons was insufficient, they could also draw from their own spiritual energy.

"Fire!"

With a command, the spiritual energy projectiles in the cannon barrels were accurately launched towards the weak points of the ancient sword formation. The sound of "rumbling" filled the air as a ball of extremely powerful and terrifying spiritual energy was released, spreading out in the form of a shockwave and exploding in all directions.

Smoke and dust filled the entire sky, obscuring the entire sword mound.

The broken swords in the sword mound also felt the tremendous power of the cannons and began to tremble restlessly, emitting a resounding sword cry.

"They are attacking the weak points of the formation...with their current attack intensity, it will take about forty-seven days for the formation to be breached. In about fifty-two days, the formation will be completely destroyed."

"Forty-seven days...that's longer than the formations of our Dustless Sword Sect can hold."

The formations of the Dustless Sword Sect could only last for twelve days.

...

The Divine Sword Dynasty, Dragon Vein.

"As usual."

Gu Lingxiao looked calmly at the beautiful woman in front of him and said.

After most of the people in the Divine Sword Dynasty were forced to surrender, Gu Lingxiao began to explore the secrets of the Divine Sword Dynasty.

He first went to the imperial tomb of the Divine Sword Dynasty and easily broke through the prohibitions with Ran Xueyan's pure royal bloodline.

In the imperial tomb, he searched the souls of the previous rulers of the Divine Sword Dynasty and discovered that the origin of the Divine Sword Dynasty seemed to be related to the previous era, and it was not simple. It might be hiding some earth-shattering secrets.

Unfortunately, the souls of the earlier generations of rulers had dissipated into the heavens and the earth and were no longer in the imperial tomb.

To continue exploring the relationship between the origin of the Divine Sword Dynasty and the previous era, there were only some clues left in the Dragon Vein.

So he brought Ran Xueyan to the Dragon Vein and found that there were many ancient prohibitions set up here, which were completely different from the prohibitions in the imperial city. They were obviously not from the same era and were closer to the prohibitions in the imperial tomb.

And in the imperial tomb, Gu Lingxiao relied on Ran Xueyan's pure royal bloodline.

Therefore, he followed the same procedure here.

Ran Xueyan followed behind Gu Lingxiao and obediently squeezed out a drop of her blood as commanded by Gu Lingxiao.

The prohibition in front of them operated for a moment before disappearing.

Gu Lingxiao walked ahead, and Ran Xueyan followed closely behind.

Ran Xueyan had no expression on her face, but she was actually looking forward to Gu Lingxiao stepping into it.

Rumors have it that the Dragon Vein is the most important place in the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Dynasty, and even in the entire Extreme Sword Universe. Apart from some members of the royal family, the guardians of the Dragon Vein also include extremely powerful sword genius from the past dynasties of the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Dynasty.

How strong these guardians are, Ranyan Chen doesn't know.

All she knows is that even if the Sword Emperor were to enter, it would be difficult to survive.

Along the way, most of the restrictions could be deciphered using Ranyan Chen's bloodline. For the remaining ones that couldn't be deciphered, she had to resort to more direct methods.

As the dragon energy gradually became dense, Gu Lingxiao also felt the tremendous and terrifying amount of luck in this place, which could be considered as the gathering place of luck for the entire Extreme Sword Universe.

Compared to the luck possessed by ordinary children of destiny, it was probably incomparable.

"What a good thing!"

Without hesitation, Gu Lingxiao immediately began to absorb it.

Luck is a mysterious thing. It is impossible to turn someone else's luck into one's own.

But in terms of cultivation, it can be regarded as highly concentrated spiritual power for absorption.

A large amount of luck poured into Gu Lingxiao's body, and his realm also grew and expanded at an astonishing speed.

At the same time, in a dimension that no one could observe, the Extreme Sword Universe unexpectedly stopped expanding outward and instead slowly contracted inward.

At the same time, everyone in the Extreme Sword Universe felt a nauseous and dizzy feeling that was difficult to describe, and the speed at which spiritual power moved in the air also slowed down.

These changes were very subtle, and even the most sensitive sword cultivators might not be able to detect them.

Boom!

Without any warning, a loud noise erupted in the distance, as clear and crisp as the sound of bones breaking.

"Young man, what are you doing!"

The piercing voice interrupted Gu Lingxiao's absorption of the luck of the Extreme Sword Universe.

Gu Lingxiao raised his head slightly and quickly found the source of the voice.

The next moment, Gu Lingxiao took action.

Powerful black spiritual power spread in all directions, finally converging into a thin black thread that pierced through the body of the owner of that mysterious voice.

"You... can you see me?"

Gu Lingxiao remained silent, countless black threads piercing through the opponent's body.

In just a few seconds, the guardian of the Dragon Vein was crushed by Gu Lingxiao's destructive power.

The next moment, countless thunderous roars resounded, and countless guardians of the Dragon Vein appeared.

Each of them possessed the strength of the Holy Realm, although they were only at the level of the fifth or sixth stage and not very strong.

But in the Extreme Sword Universe, they were enough to resist any invasion from any force.

Even if the Sword Emperor himself came to do something to the Dragon Vein, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Unfortunately, in front of Gu Lingxiao, everything seemed so weak.

They couldn't stop Gu Lingxiao at all.

The corners of Ranyan Chen's mouth, which had just lifted, disappeared in an instant.

Because the black threads instantly pierced through the bodies of these guardians of the Dragon Vein.

In front of Gu Lingxiao, it was so difficult for them to even live a few more seconds.

And at the moment of their imminent death, Gu Lingxiao's divine sense connected to their souls and performed soul-searching.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, completely beyond Ranyan Chen's imagination and understanding.

"It seems like your wish is going down the drain."

Without looking back, Gu Lingxiao said to Ranyan Chen behind him, continuing to absorb the luck from the Dragon Vein.
