Without wasting a single second, Alex shifted his trajectory and cut through the pitch-black clouds. Relying on the lingering remnants of his combat intuition, he deliberately avoided the main routes connecting grand cities and imperial territories. The glow of the Nine Heavens Soul-Tracking Rune on his forehead throbbed with increasing wildness... If he let his guard down for even a second, his coordinates would further crystallize in the minds of hunters at the Heavenly God Realm and above.FLAAASH—!Alex broke through the dense fog, landing abruptly on a desolate hilltop isolated from civilization. The barren stone peak was surrounded by sheer precipices and piercing night winds that bit into the skin."Khh...!" Alex fell to his knees against the stony ground, spitting out another mouthful of golden blood.The burning pain searing his internal organs grew increasingly brutal. His Dantian felt like a cracked vessel on the verge of shattering completely. He knew that triggering the T

"DON'T LET HIM SCARE US!"That loud roar suddenly thundered from the middle of the enemy ranks, shattering the panic that had temporarily paralyzed the heavens. A silver-haired Elder wrapped in golden armor—a Peak-Stage Heavenly God practitioner from the Star Sword Sect—stepped forward a few paces with eyes ablaze with hysteria. His hand brandished a spear encrusted with cosmic gems that radiated an ancient glow."He is all alone! No matter how strong he is, he just completed a breakthrough and expended a vast amount of energy! We number nine hundred Heavenly God practitioners! If we combine our slaughter formation and deploy all our God-grade Weapons together, even a God King would be turned to dust!" screamed the silver-haired Elder, attempting to reignite the greed that had nearly been extinguished.Those words acted like a spark on a dry haystack. The fear that had been choking the hunters' throats was instantly eroded by the illusion of numerical superiority. The eyes of the nine

A tiny droplet of cold aura crept along Alex's neck as his feet sank deeper into the crusted black earth. Around him, millions of ancient swords thrust haphazardly into the ground began to vibrate softly, emitting a faint metallic clinking that clashed with the shrieks of past practitioners' souls. The gray mist in this place was exceptionally dense, heavy with the aura of death and a Void Sword Intent so sharp it could erode the mental defenses of ordinary Sky God practitioners."An extremely dense aura of death..." Alex muttered, his eyes flashing through the fog.The further he stepped toward the center of the tomb, the millions of sword blades around him seemed to bow, parting to give way. The soul of the former God Emperor within his body naturally attracted and tamed the wild sword intent scattering through the air, turning it into an invisible shield.Meanwhile, right at the outer boundary of the Sword Burial Domain, five terrifying waves of energy came to a abrupt, violent hal

SWOOSH—!Alex's body landed soundlessly upon the frozen metallic platform. His boots planted firmly right on the surface of a giant sword hilt, dozens of meters long, that was embedded diagonally through the floating continent.His black hair fluttered wildly, whipped by the dark wind. From this height, the view of the sword graveyard's abyssal core unfolded vividly—a gloomy landscape where the laws of nature seemed to have died, replaced instead by absolute void.Alex drew a short breath, then allowed his Divine Soul consciousness to surge outward once more. A thin golden light glowed around his forehead, radiating more intensely to part the atmospheric pressure that was making the suffocation increasingly dense.However, just seconds after his soul touched the surrounding corners of darkness, his brow furrowed sharply. The crease on Alex's face deepened dramatically, reflecting a shock rarely seen on the former God Emperor."This... No wonder I couldn't see this place being used as

"Speak..." Alex whispered softly, the soundwaves of his voice causing the sword graveyard to tremble, making thousands of ancient blades embedded in the earth vibrate violently before shattering into dust. "Why does no one answer? Or are you terrified?"An unnatural, faint smirk curled on Alex's lips, revealing a flash of white teeth that contrasted sharply with the lines of ancient runes across his face."Damn it! Don't let him bluff us!" Elder Gu Nan roared, the fear gnawing at his chest now twisting into wild rage. "He is merely forcing that malevolent energy into his body! How could the physical form of a God-Developing cultivator withstand the union of millions of demon souls? Even if it seems impossible, there must be a time limit!""Right! If we retreat now, the reputation of the five Great Sects will be utterly destroyed!" added the Elder of the Sky Fire Sect, trying to reignite his comrades' courage despite cold sweat pouring heavily from his temples. "Attack together! Destro
