In the depths of the firmament, the violently expanding Celestial Demon Starlight fiercely poured into the Demon Embryo, and the silhouette of the Demon Embryo behind him began to materialize, with the form of the Demon Embryo at its core also expanding, instantly possessing the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old.

Layers of demonic energy surged around him, directly breaking through the Golden Body level, reaching the Creation level.

Although it was merely at the Creation level, this projection of an Outer Demon God, its mastery over the Heaven and Earth Dao Laws and its awareness in casting spells for battle, was by no means comparable to those of the same tier. Its combat power was at least two or three realms above.

Meanwhile, Zhang Jian was also preparing to use a portion of his trump cards.

With a wave of his hand, a special Ancient Sword instantly appeared in the depths of his palm.

This Ancient Sword had a dragon head as its hilt, the blade rusted, yet beneath the rust a layer of light was shining!

At this moment, this special Ancient Sword was emitting a strong Emperor Dao radiance, the brilliance of the Emperor’s Authority.

The power of the Sheji Emperor’s Authority and the Human Emperor’s Mandate Authority was transformed by Zhang Jian into a tangible augmentation upon this Ancient Sword.

"Holy Virtue Punishes Evil!"

It seemed as if the firmament was pierced and torn apart by this sword in an instant.

The Outer Demon God was gathering its power, and Zhang Jian, during his communication with Wu Liang True Monarch, was likewise gathering his strength.

This time, he did not use any other Primordial Spirit Immortal Technique, merely employing the Sheji Emperor’s Divine Authority, the Human Emperor’s Mandate Authority, both powers augmenting his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, the Dragon Roar Sword.

This immediately caused the blade of this Lifebound Spiritual Treasure to reveal extremely terrifying power.

Additionally, it was enhanced by the Holy Virtue Sword Cleansing Technique.

The power contained in this sword light had already surpassed the ordinary Celestial Immortal range.

Yet two blades formed from Emperor-level Divine Dao Authority appeared like the Celestial Emperor’s Sword of Asunder, a sword capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Under the sword light, the grand and majestic silhouette of the Outer Demon God was swiftly cut in two, the sword light struck directly at the Demon Embryo figure on the Celestial Demon Altar, which was slowly raising its head.

"Divine Dao Authority..."

In the Demon Embryo’s eyes, there was a trace of amazement, a look of astonishment, and instantly the true body of the Demon Embryo collapsed with a bang. Countless blazing Emperor Qi and Dragon Qi burst forth, and the true form of the Celestial Demon emerging behind it also shattered into countless pieces in an instant.

The sword light cut through the earth, its momentum unabated, leaving after obliterating the Celestial Demon Altar a terrifying sword mark stretching across the sky!

"Such power..."

At this moment, high-level figures of the Cultivation Realm watching from the sidelines had varied expressions as they gazed upon this scene.

Under this single sword strike, even the Celestial Demon Starlight projecting down from the firmament was split in two.

Such immense power was beyond the imagination of many high-tier cultivators.

The strength of this Great Xia Emperor was simply astonishing!

Nearby, Wu Liang True Monarch was equally surprised.

"Such deep Divine Dao Authority..."

He could see that this sword was entirely condensed with Divine Dao Authority.

Since the Demon Embryo on the Celestial Demon Altar was resonating with the Celestial Demon Star and could not easily move, it was exterminated by one strike.

Yet the gathered Divine Dao Authority was extraordinarily astonishing.

Wu Liang True Monarch, during his Divine Travel Beyond the World, had encountered some terrifying Divine Dao powerhouses, but those possessing such Divine Dao Authority were generally recognized as overlords of a domain.

In the sky above, with the obliteration of the Demon Embryo, even the Celestial Demon Altar was completely shattered, and the Celestial Demon Starlight gradually collapsed and disintegrated, leaving only a wisp of black energy radiating intense malice, which also gradually disappeared from the firmament.

Zhang Jian raised the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand.

This was the first time Zhang Jian operated the Sheji Emperor’s Authority and the Human Emperor’s Mandate Authority in this manner.

But the effect seemed very good.

Even a bit excessive!

However, just this one move eradicated the Demon Root, thoroughly eliminating any chance for the Outer Demon God to leave any hidden dangers or for demonic energy to flee, indeed uprooting it entirely.

He glanced at the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

At that moment, the Emperor Dao’s two divine authorities intertwined on the Dragon Roar Sword and, with a thought, instantly merged into his body, continuing to be nurtured by the Holy Virtue Sword Cleansing Technique.

It absorbed a part of Zhang Jian’s internal Sheji Emperor’s, Human Emperor’s Mandate Authority, continuing its transformation.

Zhang Jian glanced down at Sanyuan Town, then immediately once more maneuvered King Jun Golden Man to unleash the Innate Tai Chi Magnetic Extinction Divine Light, completely obliterating the surrounding void of the Celestial Demon Altar, ensuring no demonic energy remained, then ceased his actions.

At this time, beside him, a True Monarch of Harmonization clutched his chest, demonic energy faintly visible in the depths of his eyes, as he was about to quietly leave.

Zhang Jian noticed, his eyes flickered, and he spoke calmly.

"Stop, did I give you permission to leave?"

Hearing this, True Monarch Jinyi’s expression changed, his eyes somewhat cautious and a little apprehensive.

"May I ask the senior what this means?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian revealed a slight cold smile at the corner of his mouth, looking coldly at the True Monarch of Harmonization before him.

"What, is this how you repay the grace of saving your life? Not even a single word of thanks, nor have you disclosed your sect, and it seems you intend to make a move against me?"

At this moment, Wu Liang True Monarch manifested his true form, his gaze on the True Monarch of Harmonization before him, with a hint of a playful look in his eyes.

In the cultivation realm, there are few good people.

Many are ungrateful, repaying kindness with animosity, which doesn’t surprise him.

He glanced at the True Monarch of Harmonization before him, transmitting via divine sense the provenance of the True Monarch of Harmonization.

True Monarch Jinyi, however, hurried forward, clasping his hands in salute.

"This junior would never dare harbor such heart to repay kindness with animosity!"

"This junior is Jin Wuyang, a Harmonization Cultivator of the Heaven-Sundering Sword Sect from Jiutanzhou’s Jiukong Mountain. This junior does not know how to repay the senior’s grand kindness and asks the senior to guide him!"

Zhang Jian glanced at this True Monarch of Harmonization before him, his gaze flickering.

Heaven-Sundering Sword Sect.
