Chapter 416: Shocking Reversal

The flying sword, also known as the flying sword Flying Boat, was the large treasure weapon that sword cultivators of East Kunlun specialized in creating. Its refining methods were closely guarded secrets, never shared with outsiders.

Yet now, this supposedly exclusive treasure of East Kunlun had appeared in the Mo Sect—and not just any version, but an Eighth-rank one! Such treasures were considered sect-protecting relics. Even East Kunlun itself only possessed three to five Eighth-rank flying swords!

The crowd gaped in disbelief. Many exclaimed, "This must belong to East Kunlun! Are these their hidden reinforcements?"

"Absolutely! Eighth-rank flying swords are East Kunlun’s unique secret—no other sect has them!"

"But didn’t Fang Lie have terrible relations with East Kunlun? Why would they help him?"

"They’re aiding the Mo Sect, not him! As the leader of the righteous sects, East Kunlun can’t ignore a demonic sect invasion!"

"I bet this whole conflict was a trap! East Kunlun and Mo Sect pretended to feud to lure the demonic sects into attacking!"

"Exactly! That’s surely what happened!"

Hearing these speculations, the Thunder Tribulation Immortal transformed into the White Bone Giant turned pale. He roared, "Treacherous East Kunlun dogs! You promised neutrality yet laid ambushes! Mark my words—you’ll pay for this betrayal!"

He immediately fled.

Though a Thunder Tribulation Immortal, confronting an Eighth-rank large treasure weapon meant certain death. Staying meant annihilation!

But he underestimated the flying sword’s might. The weapon blinked silently through the air, vanishing only to reappear directly above the White Bone Giant’s head.

The colossal blade—over a thousand yards long and a hundred wide—slammed down toward the giant’s skull. Golden Thunderstorm suddenly engulfed the sword, transforming it into a crackling golden lightning blade.

Terror-stricken, the White Bone Giant raised its arms in futile defense. "Evil-Expelling Divine Lightning! East Kunlun scoundrels show no mercy!"

This special lightning inherently countered evil energies. The giant’s bones, saturated with demonic corruption, faced absolute suppression.

Ordinary Eighth-rank treasures might struggle against the giant’s defenses. But combined with Evil-Expelling Divine Lightning, the sword cleaved through the White Bone Giant like paper through rotten wood.

Golden thunder purged all demonic energy from the shattered bones. Deprived of this evil power, the once-indestructible bones crumbled to ash.

This White Bone Giant represented the cultivator’s dharma body—a primordial spirit-bound avatar enabling seamless treasure control and divine skill execution. Its destruction dealt catastrophic backlash.

Though surviving, the cultivator vomited blood mid-air, his power halved. Defeated, he crushed a white bone talisman while screaming, "Curse you all! I’ll return!"

A shimmering Space Gate materialized—his escape route to safety.

But divine patterns on the sword suddenly blazed. An invisible force erupted, disrupting the forming portal with a pop.

The White Bone Sect’s Thunder Tribulation Immortal panicked. Ignoring his heavy injuries, he transformed into a white streak racing toward the White Bone World-Breaking Gate.

True fear silenced his boasts—the broken cultivator fled without another word.

But no matter if he spoke or not, the huge sword clearly had no intention of letting him escape. It erupted with endless Evil-Expelling Divine Lightning once more, then the blade flicked and chased after the Thunder Tribulation Immortal!

Though the huge sword appeared massive and cumbersome, its flight was lightning-fast, moving with incredible speed!

Bolstered by the Evil-Expelling Divine Lightning, it transformed into a streak of golden lightning, tearing through the air with terrifying force, instantly closing the gap!

Half the immortal’s body had already entered the White Bone World-Breaking Gate, but it was too late.

The huge sword loomed behind him, its tip unleashing a thunderous blade of Golden Thunderstorm dozens of yards thick!

The scoundrel was engulfed in golden radiance before he could utter a heart-wrenching scream—his body and primordial spirit vaporized in an instant!

The thunderous strike didn’t stop there. It crashed mercilessly into the altar of the White Bone Ghost Realm!

The Thunder Tribulation Immortal maintaining the altar was doomed. Tasked with sustaining the White Bone World-Breaking Gate and summoning the white-bone monster army, he remained oblivious until the golden lightning struck.

In desperation, he activated a secret method, abandoning a decoy while his true form fled!

His sharp divine sense and reflexes saved him, but severing ties to the altar unleashed a devastating backlash.

Though he escaped, blood gushed from his mouth, his organs ruptured!

Controlling a peak eighth-rank large treasure demanded precision—any misstep risked catastrophic backlash. Even untouched by the lightning, the recoil left him crippled for decades!

The shattered altar severed control over the White Bone World-Breaking Gate, causing it to slowly close. The passage between realms vanished, stranding the Eighth-rank treasure on the battlefield!

The huge sword summoned golden chains of Evil-Expelling Divine Lightning, ensnaring the gate and dragging it back.

Thus, the clash concluded abruptly.

White Bone Sect lost one Thunder Tribulation Immortal, gravely injured another, and forfeited their Eighth-rank treasure—a crushing defeat!

Hundreds of disciples specializing in Formation calculations, guarded by sect members, froze in terror as their raid collapsed. They scrambled to flee!

But escape was impossible.

The awakened Eighth-rank large treasure disdained pursuing weaklings, but the Eight Immortals guarding Iron-Walled Jin City showed no mercy!

Mr. Suan Mei roared, "Earth’s Magnetic Force Warship, attack! Don’t let a single one escape!"

Immortal Wind Dragon charged ahead, rallying the Seven Dragon True Immortals and remaining defenders. With overwhelming numbers—tens of thousands of cultivators and a million earth’s magnetic force puppets—their pursuit was relentless!

Few white-bone monsters remained, destroyed by Divine Lightning Towers or captured as Fa Shen by Thunder Tribulation Immortals.

Hundreds of cultivators chased each fleeing disciple. Even Wind Tribulation Immortals couldn’t outpace the Earth’s Magnetic Force Warship!

Nearly all invaders perished—less than one in ten survived. This marked the greatest victory against the demonic sect in millennia!

High above, two figures watched the carnage in stunned silence: the Sect Leader of East Kunlun, Sword God, and Xiao Kun, spirit of the Ninth-Rank Divine Sword.

They’d come to mock Fang Lie and seize opportunities amid chaos. As leader of the righteous sects, Sword God wouldn’t harm Mo Sect disciples—but stealing treasures from White Bone Sect was fair game.

Yet the battle defied his scheming. Instead of aiding White Bone Sect against Mo Sect, he’d unwittingly become their ally! By heaven, he’d meant to sabotage Mo Sect!
