C161 No matter how strong!

Yang Xie slowly opened his eyes, and the moment he did, a gold light shone from within, shining brightly and with incomparable sharpness.

In the blink of an eye, the rainwater within a radius of a few hundred feet suddenly stopped. It was as if space had frozen at this moment as countless drops of rain solidified in midair.

Suddenly, the rain seemed to be cut by an invisible blade, silently splitting into two, splitting into four, splitting into eight, finally transforming into even smaller raindrops that stopped in mid air. From afar, it looked like this space had been cut into countless pieces, giving off the illusion of space shattering!

Sword intent!

It was actually Yang Xie who had finally made a breakthrough in the nexus between life and death. He had stepped up to another level in his sword art and condensed the legendary sword intent!

When the sword intent reached ten percent, Yang Xie did not feel any joy at all. The current him did not feel joy nor sadness, instead, he had completely forgotten about anything. He only felt the threat to his life and subconsciously brandished the longsword.

The moment the sword was unleashed, the surrounding space started to tremble slightly. The power of the heaven and earth seemed to be drawn in by the sword as countless amounts of spirit energy gathered and formed a gigantic golden sword image in the air. With the momentum of the world and the speed of lightning, it turned into a golden light and instantly disappeared into the lightning.

There was no deafening roar, nor was there any blinding light. There was only a muffled sound of explosion as the thick lightning light was soundlessly split in half. It was like spring snow meeting the blazing sun, melting into nothingness.

Puff!

The sword slashed onto the Moonwolf's body, leaving a deep cut, with a large amount of silver blood spurting out.

"Roar!"

Under the extreme pain, the Moonwolf raised its head and let out a roar of pain that resounded through heaven and earth. When it looked at Yang Xie on the opposite side, its enormous red eyes already revealed a trace of fear.

However, even though he waved his sword, Yang Xie did not stop. Taking a step forward, his eyes revealed a trace of confusion, he waved the sword in his hand again, causing a soaring sword image to fly out once again.

Seeing that, the Moonwolf released a wild roar, and another thick bolt of lightning condensed above its head. The lightning arcs surrounded it, and its momentum was even greater than before!

However, when the lightning and the sword clashed, they were still easily split apart.

Puff! With a sound, the Moonwolf's large wolf eye was pierced through with a sword. Fresh blood spurted out from the eye, revealing a terrifying bloody hole.

Yang Xie's eyes became even more blank, he took a step forward and waved his third sword.

With this strike, the other wolf eye of the Moonwolf was shattered.

With the fourth slash, one of the Moonwolf's thigh was pierced and it crashed onto the ground.

The fifth slash.

The sixth strike.

The seventh sword strike.

The eighth sword strike.

With a wave of eight swords, the Moonwolf fell to the ground, its four limbs pierced, it was blind, and on its body, several deep wounds were left, revealing the eerie white bones inside, it was already on its last breath.

The Moonwolf that had been forcing Yang Xie's life away just a moment ago now looked so weak when compared to Yang Xie's sword force.

When the ninth sword strike was swung out, a deafening wail rang out, and the gigantic wolf head was sliced into two halves. White and silver mixed together and flowed on the ground, but it was already dead beyond death.

Just as the final sword was swung out, the confusion in Yang Xie's eyes gradually disappeared. He had regained his clarity of mind, and looking at the Moonwolf's miserable state, Yang Xie was extremely shocked.

This was sword intent. Once it was condensed, the power displayed was actually this astonishing!

A grand and magnificent beast with a perfect Leading to Heaven Realm was actually in such a terrible condition under a sword!

But right after, Yang Xie had a clear mind.

Although this sword intent was strong, it should not be enough to defy the heavens. It must have attracted the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and borrowed the force of the world to launch such a powerful attack during the moment he comprehended it.

Otherwise, when he was in complete victory, even if he managed to condense his sword intent, it would take a lot of effort to kill the Moonwolf, much less to be able to kill it unscathed.

With this knowledge, Yang Xie gained a clearer understanding of his own strength. Although he still had some regrets in his heart, he was more overjoyed.

Now, he had a faint feeling that he had reached a bottleneck in his attempt to break through the ten stages of burning blood. As long as he found a place to go into closed door cultivation for a period of time, he would be able to make a breakthrough.

Now that he had condensed the sword intent, he was so strong that he could easily kill any Late Leading to Heaven Realm cultivator. Even Yang Xie himself was confident that he could fight Wang Kuang head on!

However, even though he had achieved his goal this time, Yang Xie did not plan to immediately return. Since he was already here, he might as well meet the 'Zephyr' that made the breakthrough in the Cloud Sky Ancestor and see what it looked like.

It was just that even though he had that plan in mind, Yang Xie did not immediately leave. He was currently severely injured, and his physique was weak to the extreme.

Immediately, without caring about the mud on the ground, Yang Xie sat cross legged on the ground, and immediately took out a 'Water Pellet' from the 'kunling bag'.

This pellet was a healing pellet that Sikong Rong bestowed to him. Although it wasn't as valuable as the 'Haotian Pellet,' it was still second only to it in terms of healing effects.

His mouth opened, and after consuming the 'Water Yun Pill', Yang Xie started to circulate his cultivation technique to refine the pill.

At that moment, Yang Xie was not afraid of any other intrusions, this was the territory of the Moonwolf, although the beast was dead, its might was still there, it was still able to scare the other beasts away.

This was the most serious injury Yang Xie had suffered since he broke through his eight stages of burning blood. Not only did all the bones in his body almost break, even the meridians in his body showed signs of rupturing.

Only after a full half a day and consecutively consuming several 'Water Yun Pills' did Yang Xie's injuries recover.

When Yang Xie opened his eyes, a bright ray of sunlight shone into his eyes.

After the wind and rain passed, a refreshing feeling permeated the air, causing people to feel happy.

Yang Xie slowly got up, looked at his tattered and muddy clothes, and frowned. He circulated the Spirit Qi in his body, and in a flash, his clothes were turned into powder, after that Yang Xie quickly took out a new set of clothes from the kunling bag and put them on, then walked towards the Moonwolf who had been dead for a long time.

Standing in front of that huge body, Yang Xie's entire being became small and insignificant, as if in front of him was not a corpse, but a small mountain of flesh and blood.

Looking at the destroyed eyes and fur, Yang Xie felt that it was a pity. Beasts with a perfect Leading to Heaven Realm like these were practically all precious, especially those that were rarely seen in the Moonwolf s. Their eyes could be used as the main ingredient for many pills, and their fur could also be used to refine leather and similar defensive treasures.

Unfortunately, it was all ruined now.

Waving his long sword, Yang Xie cut off the claws of the beast as well as some valuable items from its body. Yang Xie peeled open its abdomen and took out the beast's Orb.

The inner core was the size of a fist and glowed with a silvery light. Streams of silver lightning floated around the inner core like willow catkins, and surging energy emanated from it. Its power was far greater than all the inner cores he had obtained before.

"It is indeed worthy of being a great demon beast with perfect Leading to Heaven Realm. Just this inner pellet alone is enough to allow a person to break through from the first stage of Blood Burning Fire to the nine stages of burning blood in one go, or even higher!" Yang Xie sighed with emotion. With a flip of his hand, he kept the Orb back into the 'kunling bag'.

After that, Yang Xie once again entered the forest.

Arriving there, Yang Xie was not far from the 'Zephyr', and in a few days, he was already there.

Therefore, on the way, Yang Xie did not choose to fight with any other demon beasts. On the way, he met some demon beasts with perfect Leading to Heaven Realm, so Yang Xie chose to stay far away from them.

Even if they had bumped into a few spirit beasts, when these spirit beasts felt a strong sense of danger from Yang Xie, they growled and warned him, and then let him leave.

On this day, Yang Xie was standing on a high ground as he looked ahead in shock.

Amidst the mountain range in front, majestic jade like palaces were scattered throughout the mountain ranges, each and every one of the palaces were grand and majestic, with an extraordinary aura, and there were countless Jade Mansion Jade Pavilion hidden at the middle of the mountain. It was extremely beautiful, obviously a large sect's residence, and judging from its appearance, it was much bigger than the Cloud Sky Sect!

However, the sect encampment was now in ruins. The palace buildings had collapsed and the Jade Pavilion was in ruins. It was hard to tell what it looked like from its original state. The entire area was filled with ruins.

Not only that, more than half of the mountain ranges had collapsed as well. The falling boulders shattered many buildings, as if they had been destroyed by some powerful force.

"This …" Seeing the scene that suddenly appeared in front of him, Yang Xie could not help but be dumbstruck.

Looking at these imposing buildings, each one of them far exceeded the numerous main halls of the Cloud Sky Sect, and the size of this sect, one could only imagine how much stronger this sect was compared to the Cloud Sky Sect!

Although Yang Xie had never seen the various ancient sects in the wasteland before, and did not know how strong they were, Yang Xie felt that even if the strength of the sect in front of him was not as strong as the few ancient sects, it was not necessarily weaker!
