Even the major forces within the Upper Third-Rank Domain dared not confront the Lingxiao Sword Sect directly.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have appeared in Nine Mysteries City.

The rise of the Lingxiao Sword Sect was too mysterious, leaving no traces, making everyone hesitate to provoke them lightly.

At this moment, the sword cultivators of the Lingxiao Sword Sect arrived.

Countless cultivators watching from the void all took notice.

Detachment after detachment of sword cultivators, with overpowering sword intent emanating from them.

Unbeknownst to many, the disciples of the Lingxiao Sword Sect had acquired the confidence and foundation befitting the strong, befitting a major force.

Sword arrays upon sword arrays combined with those of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect, the ascending sword light intertwining, revealing countless divine lights and divine patterns.

Those from the Yukun Heavenly Palace who had just descended from the void suddenly halted in their tracks.

The enemy before them surpassed the strength they had imagined.

Doubt flickered in the eyes of the black-crowned, white-robed Taoist leading the Yukun Heavenly Palace.

“Boom—” Sword light collided with the power of heaven and earth invoked by the Yukun Heavenly Palace.

Miles upon miles of heaven and earth trembled, pushing numerous cultivators’ bodies away.

The chaotic powers in the void collided, creating an illusionary vista.

This strike shattered the Yukun Heavenly Palace’s army’s defenses, causing their battle formations to begin collapsing.

Together, the Lingxiao Sword Sect and the Nine Mystic Sword Sect’s power surpassed that of the Yukun Heavenly Palace by far.

Below, countless sword lights gathered once more.

“Ladies and gentlemen, since the contract has been set, standing idly by is not appropriate.”

Gao Ming Immortal Venerate looked up towards the top-tier powerhouses who had just taken the Great Path Golden Beads.

The thirty most elite beings from the most elite forces had expressions of solemnity.

They had come to trample Nine Mysteries City, but now they had to face not only Nine Mysteries City but also the Nine Mystic Sword Sect and the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

These two major forces of the Sword Dao were not comparable to Nine Mysteries City that ranked lower in the Heavenly List.

These were the first and fourth major powers on the Heavenly List!

“Gentlemen, the path of cultivation is just so,” Gao Ming Immortal Venerate coolly said, noticing the hesitation of those powerhouses. “There are too many uncertainties on the path of cultivation. If one seeks to control everything, what meaning would there be left in the world’s cultivation?”

“Having come here and signed the contract, do you intend to risk the possibility of your cultivation not advancing for the rest of your life by breaking the contract?”

By passing through that Heaven-Opening Sword Gate to sign the contract, they were already bound by the laws of this realm.

Breaking the contract would provoke retribution from the power of the Great Dao.

Then, their cultivation might never advance again for the rest of their lives.

For the elites who had come here, such an outcome was absolutely unacceptable.

“Gao Ming Immortal Venerate, we are not the ones breaking the contract, you are. When you signed the contract, you only mentioned flattening Nine Mysteries City,” a towering figure clad in black armor roared angrily.

The other cultivators who had obtained the Great Path Golden Beads also flashed with divine light in their eyes.

What effort you put in, is what benefit you get out.

For today’s battle, truly, to take action against the Lingxiao Sword Sect and the Nine Mystic Sword Sect over a mere golden bead simply wasn’t worth it.

Who knew how strong these two forces really were?

What other foundations did they possess?

“Breaking the contract?”

“Heh, I could never be in breach of contract.”

Flowing Light flashed around Gao Ming Immortal Venerate, congealing into golden and blood-colored beads.

His form began to waver into translucence.

“Sacrifice!”

“A top-tier Immortal Venerate sacrifices all of his cultivation to heaven and earth, in exchange for concentrating the power of heaven and earth!”

Numerous cries of shock resounded.

Gao Ming Immortal Venerate transformed all of his cultivation into golden-red blood beads.

These blood beads were not as precious as the previously mentioned Great Path Golden Beads, but to those cultivators who were not yet Immortal Venerates or just at the entry-level, these were indeed the treasures most capable of stabilising their cultivation.

A single blood pearl could be directly converted into a complete set of cultivation, reaching the peak of Immortal Lords.

A blood pearl could only be refined once, directly enhancing one’s cultivation and combat strength.

Not only would it boost cultivation, but the blood beads could also be used to refine weapons, creating true weapons that were difficult to find in the world.

Thousands of blood beads in the sky formed a blood-red dragon, and the ethereal form of Gao Ming Immortal Venerate’s gaze fell on those below, his eyes revealing a hint of regret.

“I have taken a misstep; thus leading to a death so complete, my soul annihilated, scattered to the winds.”

“Today, with my cultivation exchanged for the power of heaven and earth, as compensation, I ask those willing to strike to step forward and do battle with these sword cultivators.”

“Neither victory nor life shall be counted as criteria!”

Gao Ming Immortal Venerate’s voice echoed as his body dispersed, and the blood-colored dragon coiled in the air before scattering into individually floating blood beads.

He sacrificed himself, merging with the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

Now that Gao Ming Immortal Venerate was dead, those who had taken the golden beads were bound by the contract.

If they did not honor the contract by taking action, they could not even leave this place.

“Heh, indeed driven by greed,” chuckled a black-bearded elder, revealing a Green Jade Long Stick in his hand. He stepped forward, swinging the stick which expanded thousands of cubits, and struck mightily towards the formation below.

The other peak Immortal Venerable experts glanced at one another, their aura surging skyward before leaping down.

If retreat was not an option, then it was time to give it their all!

The stage was set for a world-shaking battle today!

Thirty beams of light, capable of tearing through heaven and earth, exploded and directly assaulted the sword array below.

Thirty of the most elite experts imprisoned the surrounding area spanning countless miles.

This battle was fought to the death!

“To partake in such a grand battle, how exhilarating—” exclaimed a voice as an elder in green armor leaped to catch a blood bead from the dispelled dragon, then crushed it with a palm.
