Nine Extinction
The water python wasn't very strong and was roughly at the Initial Heavenly Sovereign Stage. Thus, it wasn't a threat to Zhuowen. However, Cang Die would be in danger if he were to face the water python.
Swoosh!
Just as Zhuowen was about to speak, an air-rending sound erupted from behind him. The instant the air-rending sound rang out, a cold glint was reflected in Zhuowen's eyes like moonlight. It actually gave him a cold feeling.
An ominous feeling lingered around Zhuowen like dark clouds, causing all the hair on his body to stand on end. Subsequently, the cold glint's speed reached the extreme as it swept towards Zhuowen's chest. This attack was too fast, so fast that even Zhuowen had not expected it.
At this critical moment, Zhuowen furiously roared. His feet stomped on the air, causing the vital points on his body to shift by a few inches. Soon after, the cold glint pierced through Zhuowen's shoulder blade, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
Swoosh!
A soft sound of surprise rang out from behind Zhuowen. Subsequently, the owner of the cold glint actually intended to retreat when he saw that his attack had missed. Unfortunately, Zhuowen would not let him have his way.
"Running after a sneak attack?
It won't be that easy. "
Zhuowen coldly snorted. The berserk massacre aura on his body came crashing down. Eight blood seas surged out like eight blood pythons, sweeping towards the retreating assassin in an attempt to intercept him.
The assassin narrowed his eyes. He was extremely calm as he swung his right hand. The nine inch short sword in his hand cut through the air, creating a cold glint. Immediately, the eight blood seas that were rushing over were shattered with a piercing sound.
"Sword Fire Ultimacy!"
Seeing that the massacre aura was unable to do anything to the assassin, Zhuowen's eyes were incomparably cold. His right hand tapped on his forehead. Instantly, a terrifying Mental Energy swept out from his Niwan Palace. At the same time, the Ultimate Sword Array in his Spirit Ring also surged out along with the Mental Energy, transforming into terrifying cold glints.
Boom!
The sword array gushed out and turned into a sea of fire in the sky. It filled the entire sky as if it was burning the entire sky. The assassin was trapped by the Sword Fire Ultimacy.
"Hmm?
Spiritual power? "
The assassin clearly did not expect Zhuowen to be a sixth-grade Arcana Master. Caught off guard, he was enveloped by the Sword Fire Mystery.
Within the Fire of the Sun, Cang Die also looked at Zhuowen in astonishment. She didn't expect that Zhuowen's Spiritual Energy would be so powerful even though his Martial Dao strength was already so terrifying. She finally realized how terrifying Zhuowen's talent was.
"The Ninth Absolute of the Ten Extremes Sect?"
Stepping on the sea of fire, Zhuowen looked down at the figure surrounded by the sea of fire. He saw that this person was also wearing a ghost mask, which was exactly the same as the Tenth Extremity that he had killed. The only difference was that there was the number "Nine" on the mask. Needless to say, this person should be Jiu Jue of the Ten Extremities Sect.
Jiu Jue's cultivation was at the Peak of the Heavenly Master Realm, but the strength that he displayed was far more powerful than ordinary Peak Heavenly Masters. Especially the assassination just now, it was extremely perfect. If it wasn't for Zhuowen's extremely sharp senses, he might have been hit.
Jiu Jue looked up at Zhuowen and said indifferently, "You killed the Tenth Extremity, didn't you?"
"Looks like the Ten Extremities Sect is quite well-informed. That's right, I did kill the Tenth Extremity. So, you're here to avenge him?" Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and said indifferently.
"I don't know the Tenth Extremity, nor do I have any relationship with him. I came to assassinate you on the orders of Lord Yi Jue. He said that you must die, so I'm here." Jiu Jue seemed very calm, and his voice was hoarse and magnetic.
Zhuowen was a little surprised by Jiu Jue's calmness and asked, "You can still be so calm in such an adverse situation. Are you not afraid of death?"
Jiu Jue smiled and said, "I came here with the determination to die. You're Zhuo Wen. You've shown extraordinary talent in the Hero Competition. Even Zhou Hui and Zhou Chang, who are both at the first layer of the Great Emperor Realm, were defeated by you. Although I've assassinated Great Emperor Realm cultivators before, I've only assassinated Great Emperor Realm cultivators like Zhou Hui. As for Zhou Chang, who's at the second layer of the Great Emperor Realm, my failure rate is eighty percent."
"You were able to defeat Zhou Chang, so my chances of failing to assassinate you are almost ninety-nine percent. Thus, I knew that I would definitely die in this assassination attempt. Even though I used the most perfect assassination technique I've ever used in my life, it still only left you with some superficial wounds. We are both peak Empyreans, but the difference between us is truly great. I admit defeat and die in peace."
After saying that, Jiu Jue bent his right hand and the short sword in his hand pierced into his chest. Then, a violent energy exploded and Jiu Jue exploded into a cloud of blood mist. Zhuowen could not stop it in time.
"What a clean and efficient method."
Looking at Jiu Jue who had exploded into a cloud of blood mist, Zhuowen narrowed his eyes. Jiu Jue was not simple. He was a Peak Heavenly Master and had assassinated a First Level Great Emperor Realm cultivator before. He could be considered a genius. But now, under Yi Jue's orders, he did not hesitate to carry it out. After failing, he did not hesitate to self-destruct. This really surprised Zhuowen.
"The Ten Extremes Sect is not simple!"
Zhuowen frowned. He was a little afraid of the Ten Extremes Sect. If the Ten Extremes and Nine Extremes Sect were so powerful, wouldn't the Eight Extremes Sect be even more terrifying?
"The Ten Extremes Sect is indeed not simple. Moreover, it's an extremely mysterious sect. With its current development, it's actually vaguely resembling the Lord of the Extreme Demon back then. If the Ten Extremes Sect can produce someone who's comparable to the Lord of the Extreme Demon back then, the world might belong to the Ten Extremes Sect." Cang Die came to Zhuo Wen's side and said in agreement.
"And from the looks of it, the Ten Extremes Sect has their eyes on you. You have to be careful." Cang Jie suddenly smiled.
"Since the Ten Extremes Sect has their eyes on me, aren't you afraid?" Zhuowen said with a half-smile.
Cang Jie pouted and said with a smile, "Don't I have you?
You are so powerful. It won't be easy for the Ten Extremes Sect to kill you. I am still quite safe by your side. "
"Let's continue forward."
Zhuo Wen ignored Cang Die's words. After coldly throwing down these words, he continued to rush forward. Cang Die stomped his feet and could only follow behind Zhuo Wen.
There were quite a lot of cultivators in the periphery of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland. As the two of them moved forward, they could see many cultivators searching for something. The goal of these cultivators should be the same as theirs, to search for the Great Demon Sect's ruins.
However, as the two of them went deeper into the swampland, the number of cultivators decreased greatly. After all, the deeper one went into the Dreamy Cloud Swampland, the more dangerous it was. Cultivators who were not strong naturally did not have the courage to go deep into the Dreamy Cloud Swampland.
Along the way, Zhuowen and Cang Jie were attacked by many fierce beasts that broke out of the water. However, with Zhuowen's current strength, these fierce beasts were unable to do anything to him. Even some of the fierce beasts that were at the first level of the Emperor Realm fell under Zhuowen's attacks. Therefore, the two of them were quite unimpeded.
"I remember that in the map, there should be a medium-sized island in the center of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland. The Great Demon Sect's ruins should be on that island. Now that we have arrived at the center, why are there no signs of the island?"
Standing in the void, Zhuowen looked down at the Dreamy Cloud Swampland below and slightly frowned. At this moment, they were already in the center of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland. However, other than a misty body of water, there were no signs of land. Zhuowen began to doubt whether the Great Demon Sect's map was correct.
"Take out the complete map. Maybe there will be some clues." Cang Jie suddenly interrupted.
Zhuowen nodded. Since he didn't have any clues, he might as well give it a try according to what Cang Jie said.
The dim yellow map fell into Zhuowen's hands. This map was the most complete map of the Great Demon Sect's ruins. It was even more complete than the map in Cang Jie's hands.
"Eh?
This map is changing?
Could it be that the mist around the Dreamy Cloud Swampland is causing the map to change? "
The moment he took out the map, Zhuowen discovered that the contents of the map in his hands had actually started to change. Some of the original markings gradually faded away and new and different contents began to appear under the influence of the mist. In the end, it turned into a completely different map.
"With the help of the mist of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland and this complete map, it was able to produce such a change. It seems that the Sect Leader of the Great Demon Sect really put in a lot of effort." Cang Jie was also startled and immediately sighed.
"Could it be that you knew that this map would have such a change?" Zhuowen turned his head and suddenly asked Cang Jie.
Cang Jie's beautiful eyes flickered and said with a smile, "How is that possible?
I just suddenly thought of it, so I asked you to take it out and have a look. Who knew that such a scene would happen? "
"Is that so?"
Zhuowen took a deep look at Cang Jie. In fact, when Cang Jie insisted on following him to the Dreamy Cloud Swampland, he felt that it was a bit strange. Now, Cang Jie's seemingly casual advice actually led to the real map of the Great Demon Sect. This made Zhuowen feel even more strange towards Cang Jie.
"It's just a coincidence. Take a look at this new map first. You should be able to find the Great Demon Sect's ruins." Cang Jie said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhuowen nodded and his gaze fell on the new map. Although Cang Jie was quite suspicious, her cultivation was not high. At this time, in Zhuowen's eyes, she was equivalent to an ant. Zhuowen did not believe that she could play any tricks.
"It turns out that in this body of water, there is an illusion that obscures the line of sight."
After unfolding the map, Zhuowen looked at it a few times and his eyes revealed a look of understanding. Then, according to the method in the map, Zhuowen stepped out and came to the center of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland. A crack appeared between his eyebrows and a golden Buddha's Eye appeared.
The Buddha's Eye had the effect of breaking through ten thousand techniques. Although Zhuowen's strength was low and he could not use its full power, it was still possible to see through this illusion array with the help of the Buddha's Eye.
"The eye of the array is there!"
