Chapter 2779 - 2779: The Cause of the Destruction of the World

Translator: Legge

Although the Heavenly Eye army had left, there was no salvation for the Seven Stars Sword World.

There were only a few thousand cultivator disciples left in the Seven Stars Sword World and there were no Immortal King experts among them. Only seven Perfected Immortals survived.

Under Su Zimo’s treatment, Meng Hao had already woken up and his injuries were gradually improving with a hint of rosiness on his face.

“Thank you for saving us, seniors of the Sword World!”

When Meng Hao and the others woke up, they bowed to Su Zimo and the others immediately.

However, most of the surviving cultivators had yet to recover. They looked at the corpses around them with listless eyes and numb expressions.

This was a huge blow to them!

Su Zimo looked at Meng Hao and asked, “What happened? Why did the Heavenly Eye race come?”

Previously, King Cold Eye had mentioned it briefly, but he did not elaborate. No one in the Sword World knew the reason for this calamity.

Meng Hao was silent for a moment before saying slowly, “Senior Brother Li Xuan was chased by a Heavenly Eye Perfected Spirit in the Evil Fiend Battlefield. He was forced to counterattack and blinded the Heavenly Eye Perfected Spirit.”

Under normal circumstances, after cultivating to the Perfected Immortal realm, one could recover using their Dharmic powers even if their bodies were shattered.

However, it was different for the Heavenly Eye.

The Heavenly Eye was the strongest part of the Heavenly Eye race. Once it was injured through divine powers, it was difficult to recover.

“Hmph!”

Gong Sunyu harrumphed coldly. “He failed to kill his target so he could only blame his lack of skills that his Heavenly Eye was blinded! If it was me, I would have killed him rather than just blinding him!”

Meng Hao glanced at Gong Sunyu and opened his mouth slightly. He wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he merely sighed softly.

As a Perfected Immortal of the Sword World, Gong Sunyu naturally had the backing to be able to say that.

As for Senior Brother Li Xuan, he was only a Perfected Immortal of the Seven Stars Sword World. How could he dare to offend a living being of the Heavenly Eye race? Even when he blinded the Heavenly Eye Perfected Spirit, it was because he had no other choice.

Lu Yun frowned. “Fights in the Evil Fiend Battlefield are between Perfected Spirits of the same cultivation realm. Even if they die within, they can’t blame others, let alone being injured.”

“The Heavenly Eye World led an army to slaughter a world of living beings just because a single Heavenly Eye Perfected Spirit was blinded?”

Meng Hao said, “That Heavenly Eye Perfected Spirit was the youngest son of King Cold Eye.”

“That explains everything.”

Yu Lan and the others exchanged glances and murmured softly.

Meng Hao continued, “Senior Brother Li Xuan knew that he had caused a huge calamity and returned to the Seven Stars Sword World immediately to report this matter to Master.”

“At the same time, King Cold Eye sent a letter to Master asking him to hand over Senior Brother Li Xuan.”

The master Meng Hao was referring to was the World Lord of the Seven Stars Sword World, King South Valley.

“Master knows that Senior Brother Li Xuan is not to blame for this, but he also knows that King Cold Eye will definitely not let the matter rest. Therefore, he arranged for Senior Brother Li Xuan to escape secretly and sent a message to the major worlds for help.”

Lu Yun, Yu Lan and the others exchanged glances and nodded to themselves.

King South Valley lived up to his reputation as a sword cultivator and was indeed responsible as a World Lord. He did his best to protect his disciple instead of selling out the latter.

If they were in his shoes, they would not be able to think of a better solution either.

At that point, Meng Hao stopped. As though he had thought of something, his body trembled slightly and he panted heavily, as though he was about to suffocate.

Su Zimo chanted a few Buddhist proclamations softly, helping Meng Hao’s terrified mind to gradually calm down.

Meng Hao took a deep breath and continued, “To think that King Cold Eye would have arrived here long ago and sealed the Seven Stars Sword World. Not only did Senior Brother Li Xuan die, Master’s message could not be sent either.”

“This action infuriated King Cold Eye. He sealed the Seven Stars Sword World and wanted to kill half of the living beings here as punishment…”

At that point, Meng Hao could not continue.

The remaining sword cultivators of the Seven Stars Sword World teared up in silence as well.

Lu Yun and the others sighed with conflicted expressions.

King South Valley was not even willing to hand over a single disciple, there was no way he would allow half of the living beings of the Seven Stars Sword World to be killed!

Cultivators of the Seven Stars Sword World cultivated the Sword Dao and would rather break than bend—they would definitely not wait for death!

He would definitely have led his sword cultivators to resist and fight to the death!

Even though there were only a few thousand people left in the end, Meng Hao and the others did not submit and fought against the living beings of the Heavenly Eye race with their last bit of strength!

In the eyes of King Cold Eye, living beings of a lesser world like the Seven Stars Sword World were ants. How dare they deceive and resist him?

In his rage, he ordered the destruction of the entire world!

Even after destroying an entire world and slaughtering hundreds of millions of living beings, in the eyes of King Cold Eye and the others, they had merely stomped on some ants and they could not take it to heart.

Yu Lan sighed softly. “King South Valley has always been known as a hero and was benevolent. To think that he would encounter such a calamity. Sigh.”

Lu Yun said coldly, “King Cold Eye is way too cruel. He slaughtered a world’s living beings just because his youngest son’s skills were inferior, resulting in the blinding of his Heavenly Eye!”

Bi Tianxing said, “King Cold Eye’s actions are also equivalent to sending a strong signal to the other worlds. He’s letting the other worlds feel fear towards the Heavenly Eye World, to warn the others not to provoke them easily.”

Yu Lan said, “From what I know, there’s a Perfected Spirit in the Heavenly Eye World who was born with the Yin Yang Eyes. He even comprehended a peerless divine power as well and has terrifying combat strength. He’s probably in the top five of all the Perfected Spirits of the ten thousand races in the upper world!”

“King Cold Eye has already guessed that we’re heading to the Blessed Heaven World. If we encounter the Heavenly Eye race in the Blessed Heaven World, there will probably be additional trouble.”

Lu Yun had a grim expression. “The Heavenly Eye World has more than one Perfected Spirit in this generation who comprehended a peerless divine power.”

Bi Tianxing said, “The Heavenly Eye of the Heavenly Eye race allows their comprehension of divine powers to far surpass that of other races. In every generation, the Heavenly Eye race will at least give birth to a Perfected Spirit who has comprehended a peerless divine power.”

“Are you guys implying that we should head back now?”

Feng Xu frowned. “We’re already here. We’re less than three days away from the Blessed Heaven World.”

Lu Yun, Yu Lan, and Bi Tianxing fell silent and hesitated.

Feng Xu said, “Furthermore, we’re heading to the Blessed Heaven World this time round for the Venus Black Gold Stone. If we miss it, we don’t know when we’ll come across it again.”

Yu Lan said, “There’s nothing to worry about since fighting is prohibited in the Blessed Heaven World. However, if we want to exchange for the Venus Black Gold Stone, Xunzhen and the others have to enter the Evil Fiend Battlefield…”

Yu Lan looked at Lin Xunzhen, Wang Dong and the others with worried expressions.

Lin Xunzhen said indifferently, “Master, don’t worry. If we encounter any danger in the Evil Fiend Battlefield, we’ll leave immediately.”

“That’s right. With the Blessed Heaven World Badge, we can leave at any moment and there won’t be any danger.” Wang Dong added.

Yu Lan pondered for a moment before nodding. “Alright. Since we’re already here, we should take a look at the Blessed Heaven World.”

“It’s best if we can exchange for the Venus Black Gold Stone. If we can’t, let’s not force it either..”
