Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 241: One Person Suppresses a Sect (5000-word Chapter)

Blood Sea Sect was indeed not easily defeated.

After ten consecutive deaths, Blood Sea Sect's reputation suffered a bit.

But those disciples from the demonic sects did not die in vain. From these battles, the Sect Master of Blood Sea Sect also discovered some of Zhong Cang's unique abilities.

"Simple elemental restraint cannot overcome that brat."

At the same time, the Sect Master of Blood Sea Sect, Li Xiu, could see the battles inside the mist with his piercing eyes.

As a result, he clearly saw that Zhong Cang's sword had a special ability - it could easily cut through any spell or defense.

"No, it's not just cutting through, I smell the scent of death... the true meaning of death... the key lies in those eyes!"

Through the mist, Li Xiu looked directly into Zhong Cang's eyes and felt a slight chill in his own body, which made him understand the value of Zhong Cang's eyes.

- It also made him more determined to kill Zhong Cang here.

After detecting most of Zhong Cang's abilities, normally Li Xiu would attack from Zhong Cang's weak points and give some guidance to his disciples to gain an advantage in the battle against Zhong Cang.

This was the advantage of being on home ground.

However, this time, he simply couldn't do it.

Zhong Cang's abilities were too comprehensive. Although Li Xiu believed that with his own abilities, he could easily kill Zhong Cang and take down ten with one strike, he couldn't find a good way to limit his strength to Foundation Building.

But if someone came knocking on his door, he had no choice but to fight.

In the end, his thoughts shifted and he came up with a good plan.

"Xiu Zhu, Xiu Shu, Xiu Hua, the three of you, go out."

"???"

Before the summoned Blood Sea Sect cultivators could speak, Qingqiu, who was accompanying Cloud Firmament Sect, expressed some dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, you're not a match in a one-on-one fight, so you want to gang up on us. Blood Sea Sect, you're really regressing!"

Li Xiu didn't get angry at this sarcastic remark, he just calmly said, "The three siblings of the Xiu family were born as triplets. Whether it's cultivation or battle, they always fight together. This is their way of fighting."

"If you don't mind, you can bring two more of your disciples."

After saying that, Li Xiu ignored Qingqiu and instead turned his gaze towards Zhong Cang, smiling in a "gentle" manner.

"Little guy, you want to walk the path of invincibility, don't you? If you want to have an invincible heart, you can't fear challenges. If you don't even dare to face three people attacking you at once, I advise you not to walk this path of invincibility."

As soon as Li Xiu spoke, Zhong Cang knew that he was trying to provoke him.

However, even though he knew this, Zhong Cang, who had no fear in his heart, didn't really care.

"Since you want it, then let them come."

As soon as his words fell, three similar-looking cultivators walked out from within Blood Sea Sect.

The three cultivators, one male and two females, exuded confidence as they walked out together.

"Hmph, brat from Cloud Firmament Sect, I admit that you're strong. If it's a one-on-one fight, the three of us are no match for you. But to dare to fight the three of us together, you're seeking death!"

"Second brother, no need to talk so much to them, let's use him as fertilizer for our flowers!"

The confidence of the three cultivators renewed the hope of the Blood Sea Sect cultivators.

On the other side, the Cloud Firmament Sect cultivators were looking forward to the show.

"Having witnessed Zhong Cang's strength, they still dare to say such things. These three must have some reliance... This will be interesting to watch."

"I hope it will be a evenly matched battle."

"I don't have high hopes for them. Zhong Cang is too strong. His strength doesn't seem like Foundation Building at all, not even like a lower three grades Gold Core..."

...

Zhong Cang was unaware of the discussions within Cloud Firmament Sect. At this moment, his gaze was focused on the three siblings from the Xiu family.

These three who dared to come out and fight against Zhong Cang indeed had some abilities.

Just like at this moment, after leaving the mountain gate, Xiu Shu's back sprouted a blood-colored tree.

With his Foundation Building Late Stage cultivation, the blood-colored tree he condensed was two hundred meters tall.

The sturdy tree was covered in blood-colored corpses.

What surprised Zhong Cang even more was that the blood-colored tree was rooted in the void and the earth, giving it an unshakable aura.

"Buzz..."

Zhong Cang's Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Magnetism surprisingly couldn't immediately uproot the tree that was rooted in the heavens and earth.

Before Zhong Cang could make any other moves, the Xiu siblings began their actions one after another.

The second one to move was Xiu Hua, the third sibling.

She and her second brother, Xiu Zhu, shrank their bodies and merged into the blood-colored tree. Then, endless blood-colored flowers bloomed from the tree.

"Hoo..."

The flowers were vibrant and enchanting, blooming all over the tree in the blink of an eye.

As the wind blew, countless flower petals scattered and spread pollen everywhere.

"Hoo..."

The vibrant red pollen drifted into the misty sky.

Due to their small size and the sheer number of pollen particles, Zhong Cang's sword couldn't possibly cut through them.

Through the Eye of the Hell King, Zhong Cang realized that the pollen was not lifeless, but rather had a worm-like vitality.

With a slight shift in his thinking, Zhong Cang understood the ability of this pollen.

"Parasitism... If I'm not mistaken, once inhaled, this pollen will take root and parasitize the cultivator, absorbing their spiritual energy and flesh and blood power."

There was no doubt that this was a malicious spell.

What Zhong Cang didn't know was that besides parasitism, this pollen also had the ability to bear fruit.

A single life was a mature flesh and blood fruit. By devouring these fruits, the three siblings of the Xiu family could quickly reach the Foundation Building Late Stage.

The ability of the great tree to take root in the heavens and earth, the pollen's parasitic ability, and the bamboo's power were all mysterious and unfathomable.

These three cultivators were indeed not easy to deal with.

Unfortunately, they encountered Zhong Cang.

After realizing that simply relying on gravity couldn't affect the Xiu siblings, Zhong Cang urged his spiritual energy and activated the Boundless Mist Sea, causing it to surge forward like a real tidal wave.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

The misty sea surged forward and quickly engulfed the three of them.

While the misty sea engulfed everything, the hidden flying sword, Empty Cicada, within the boundless mist, silently slashed towards the three.

This scene startled the three.

It wasn't that they sensed the Empty Cicada flying sword, but rather, once the mist engulfed the people in front, they would die within three breaths.

This made everyone fear being enveloped by the mist.

"Zhu, activate your full power! Let my pollen find him!"

"Understood, Third Sister."

"Buzz..."

Zhu's ability was not to make the great tree grow bamboo, but rather to nurture and vitalize.

As his spiritual energy poured in, the towering blood tree, already two hundred meters tall, began to grow rapidly again.

"Buzz..."

In a few breaths, the tree grew to three hundred meters tall. Moreover, all the branches of this towering tree came to life, like snakes or whips, thrashing in all directions.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The thrashing of the tree branches turned the area into a cacophony.

Although the tree branches blindly thrashed in all directions, this behavior was mindless but effective.

In the midst of the explosive sound, Zhong Cang's Empty Cicada flying sword was blocked for the first time.

Although many branches were severed during the exchange, causing the tree to lose several branches, Zhu continued to use his spiritual energy to nurture the tree, causing new branches to continuously appear.

As a result, for a while, Zhong Cang couldn't break through.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Zhong Cang couldn't do anything to them.

With the accumulated flame power from the Flame Furnace and the ability to transform the Five Elements, Zhong Cang's endurance was no less than that of a Gold Core cultivator.

If he wanted to, even with three opponents, he could wear them down in battle.

However, this would undoubtedly take a long time, which didn't suit Zhong Cang's intentions. Therefore, unable to defeat them for the time being, Zhong Cang changed his tactics.

...

As Zhong Cang prepared to change his tactics, the Blood Sea Sect was filled with excitement.

"We blocked him!"

"I knew he wasn't invincible."

"We can win!"

The clash between the great tree and the flying sword caused the mist to churn.

In the rolling mist, the disciples of the Blood Sea Sect occasionally caught glimpses of the great tree temporarily resisting Zhong Cang's flying sword.

This resistance gave them hope of victory.

Some people, even feel that they have discovered Zhong Cang's weakness.

"His strikes are powerful, but each strike can only cut through one thing. If he were to summon thousands of blood beast puppets at once, it could hinder his strikes."

They believe they have found a weakness in Zhong Cang's swordsmanship. Some cultivators who can summon thousands of servants even regret giving the opportunity to defeat Zhong Cang to the three siblings of the Xiu family.

However, this thought only lasted a moment in their minds.

After that moment.

"Ahh!" A clear and melodious sword chant resounded through the heavens and the earth.

This sound of the sword chant echoed in the hearts of the people.

The sudden sword chant was like a bucket of cold water poured on the fiery hearts of the crowd.

At this moment, many people remembered that the Misty Sword was not Zhong Cang's strongest ability. His strongest attack in the past was the strike that seemed capable of splitting mountains and seas.

Now, upon hearing the sound of the sword chant, the fear dominated by that unmatched strike resurfaced in everyone.

"It's over!"

"We have to face that strike again?"

"That strike, no one can stop it."

Some people believed that after the sword chant, an earth-shattering sword aura would rise.

However, the result left them puzzled.

The sound of the sword chant only rang once, and after that, there was no sword aura soaring into the sky.

Everything instead calmed down.

"What's going on? Could it be that his move failed to launch?"

"No matter how you think about it, that's sword aura, not magic. It shouldn't be possible for it to fail to release."

"Then why is there no sword aura..."

Some people were puzzled, but before they could ask their questions, a horrified exclamation rang out within the Blood Sea Sect's headquarters.

"Wait, didn't you notice? The movement in the Misty Sea has stopped!"

"It's completely gone... the Xiu siblings!"

"They're silent?"

"Dead?"

"Why, the sword aura didn't appear, right?"

The cultivators of the Blood Sea Sect couldn't understand. They didn't understand why there was no sword aura, and yet, after just one sword chant, the Xiu siblings fell silent.

Many Independent Cultivators of the Cloud Firmament Sect were also confused.

Only those who had fought against Zhong Cang before recalled with pride.

"It's here, Senior Brother Zhong Cang's ultimate skill, Soul-Crushing Sword Chant!"

"Hahaha, back in the mortal realm, Senior Brother relied on this move to kill the disciples of the Demon Sect. They didn't even dare to launch a sneak attack, only daring to attack head-on..."

Because the Sword Chant conveyed meaning, the Heart-Sword Soul Severing, this was the first time Zhong Cang had used it in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain, so the people of the Blood Sea Sect had no idea that Zhong Cang had this move.

At this moment, many people still held hope that the Xiu siblings would stand up again.

Unfortunately, what Zhong Cang left them with was only despair.

"Next!"

The voice that resounded through the heavens and the earth was extremely indifferent, but such a voice made the disciples of the Blood Sea Sect shudder collectively.

After a moment, the cultivators of the Blood Sea Sect, especially the Foundation Building disciples, were like bad students who were about to be called out by their teacher. They didn't dare to make a sound, nor did they dare to lift their heads.

"..."

"..."

"..."

With a shout from Zhong Cang, the disciples of the Blood Sea Sect were as frightened as quails.

This scene was extremely funny, but the disciples of the Blood Sea Sect didn't laugh, nor did the Independent Cultivators who observed the various sects' true transmissions through various means.

Not only did they not laugh, but deep fear also appeared in their hearts.

It can be imagined that from now on, the clear and melodious sword chant, as well as the three words "next," which were like the Yama calling out names, would become a nightmare in the hearts of many cultivators.

There was no way around it. It wasn't that their minds were weak, but Zhong Cang was too strong.

The sword chant played, and the cultivators perished.

Even how they died, no one knew. Who wouldn't be afraid, who wouldn't be terrified upon seeing this scene?

In the end, it was the calm voice of Li Xiu from the Blood Sea Sect that spoke up.

"Using sound to transmit sound, using a sword to sever souls... Little one, your Sword Intent is impressive and bold. But by using soul attacks like this, aren't you afraid of having your soul extinguished by others?"

These words may seem like praise, but they are actually telling everyone that Zhong Cang's attack just now was neither mysterious nor unstoppable.

By relying on soul attacks, they could even counter-kill Zhong Cang.

The Sect Master of Blood Sea Sect is using this method to alleviate the pressure Zhong Cang has brought upon the disciples.

This statement indeed had some effect. After understanding that Zhong Cang had launched a soul attack, some people's faces regained their color.

However, knowing is one thing, but being unable to resist is another.

Although it is true that the Sect Master of Blood Sea Sect, Li Xiu, sent many cultivators skilled in soul attacks to the stage, what awaited them were still:

"Yin!"

"Next."

"Yin!"

"Next."

"Yin!"

"Next..."

After seven consecutive times, even Li Xiu fell silent in the face of Zhong Cang's call for the next opponent.

Foundation Building cultivators are not pushovers; they are considered the backbone of a sect. Although Blood Sea Sect can withstand the loss of several tens of people, it won't cause any substantial harm. However, this kind of meaningless death, even Li Xiu couldn't bear it.

Yes, it is meaningless.

As the Sect Master of the demonic sect, Li Xiu doesn't have much compassion, nor does he care about the deaths of his disciples.

If killing one hundred Foundation Building cultivators could surround and kill Zhong Cang, Li Xiu would definitely be willing to do it.

Even if the deaths of these one hundred Foundation Building cultivators couldn't kill Zhong Cang but only force him to retreat, thus saving face for Blood Sea Sect, Li Xiu would still be willing to do it.

But now, with the sound of the sword chant, their sect's Foundation Building cultivators die. In this way, let alone saving their reputation, they might even be continuously looked down upon.

Li Xiu couldn't bear the situation of only losses and no gains.

Therefore, in the face of Zhong Cang's call, he could only remain silent.

At this moment, Zhong Cang truly achieved the feat of intimidating an entire sect.

...

Looking at the silent Sect Master of Blood Sea Sect, no one mocked or belittled him.

After a series of battles, they could already feel that Blood Sea Sect was not weak. However, Zhong Cang was just too strong.

The all-encompassing fog that concealed everything, the control over wind, rain, thunder, lightning, gold, wood, water, and fire with powerful thoughts, the silent and invisible flying sword strikes, and the unpredictable sword chant, all of these made people deeply fear Zhong Cang.

Not only Independent Cultivators and ordinary disciples feared Zhong Cang, even the true inheritances of major sects had a trace of genuine fear towards him.

They didn't understand why Zhong Cang's soul attacks were so powerful. With a single sword chant, someone would die. No matter how strong the Foundation Building cultivator who went into battle was, without exception, this scene was too terrifying.

...

Many true inheritances were afraid of Zhong Cang's sword chant, but Zhong Cang himself understood the reason.

The soul can also die.

The Eye of the Hell King can see the death line of all things. Where there is death, there is also an end and a death line.

Therefore, after the projection of the Heart Sword, as long as the death line on their souls was severed by Zhong Cang, they would immediately disintegrate.

The existence of the death line was the main reason why cultivators died when the sword chanted.

Hmm... there was one more thing that Zhong Cang didn't expect.

Zhong Cang's invincible path had already reached its halfway point. His will and soul carried an invincible dominance. Because Zhong Cang had achieved invincibility in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain, this dominance had a special effect on cultivators from the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain.

Also, because there was no physical barrier in soul confrontation, this allowed the invincible dominance to be fully, even up to 120 percent, exerted.

As a result, a strange scene appeared.

"Yin!"

When the sword chanted, a Heart Sword projection would rise from the enemy's mind.

And this Heart Sword carried a domineering intention that suppressed everything.

When cultivators who feared or were in awe of Zhong Cang sensed this intention, their minds would be captured, feeling that Zhong Cang's Heart Sword was thousands of zhang high, while they themselves were as insignificant as ants.

This vast gap would subconsciously make them feel fear and a submissive mindset.

Although Zhong Cang and the enemy were ultimately of the same level, within three to five breaths, they would break free from this domineering intention.

But in a battle between experts, every second counts. Three to five breaths are enough for Zhong Cang to kill them eight times!

"With the death line in their bodies, being struck by me means death. Under these circumstances, they are still intimidated by my domineering intention for three to five breaths... No wonder major sects go to great lengths to hinder others from walking the path of invincibility. This suppression is indeed too strong!"
