This time, the Kuangmen arrived fully prepared, and the Jianmen was no match. From the very beginning, the Jianmen was forced to retreat into their ultimate defensive formation, the Myriad Sword Array, relying on counter-attacks. Yet, even with defensive tactics and the might of the Myriad Sword Array, they were battered by the Kuangmen, left in shambles, utterly broken.

However, the Myriad Sword Array had managed to hold the line for this duration, albeit barely.

But now, it was failing. This was the final moment.

The Jianmen had deployed their ultimate weapon.

Every sect, in truth, possessed an ultimate weapon.

Take the Jianmen’s ultimate weapon, the Endless Sword. This technique involved gathering everyone into the shape of a single, colossal sword, with its members standing in formation, capable of unleashing extraordinary power. The stronger the individuals within the formation, the greater the realized strength.

Now, the Jianmen’s ultimate weapon, the Endless Sword, had been summoned. Standing at its core were Ancestor Jian Mie and several World Realm masters, along with numerous Chaos Hole Realm experts. All their power was unified, making this Endless Sword shockingly potent, and its appearance terrifying.

The colossal blade, formed of transparent spiritual energy, stretched perhaps over a thousand zhang long and nearly a hundred zhang wide.

This Endless Sword inflicted injury just by grazing a person, and death by mere contact.

But the Kuangmen had long prepared their own ultimate weapon: the Furious Spear of Frenzy.

As previously described for ultimate weapons, the Kuangmen’s version also involved endless Kuangmen masters standing together, linking themselves in a spear formation in a strange, unique manner. The Kuangmen Leader, Zhan Yi Jue, and many of their elite masters were positioned within this arrangement.

The Furious Spear of Frenzy was a convergence of infinite, frenzied aura.

Indeed, any sect’s ultimate weapon inherently carried a specific emotion, a core conviction. Only by possessing emotion could it grow stronger; a move devoid of feeling, lacking a soul, could never attain true might.

The conviction behind the Jianmen’s Endless Sword was unyielding resistance—a form of righteous anger: Why must we, the sword wielders, be oppressed by Heaven and Earth?

The Kuangmen’s ultimate weapon, the Furious Spear of Frenzy, embodied a rage bordering on madness.

The two ultimate weapons, the Endless Sword and the Furious Spear of Frenzy, hurtled toward each other in the void, meeting with immense force.

A thousand-zhang sword against a thousand-zhang spear.

BOOM!

A storm of sound and light erupted. In the instant of this explosion, the Furious Spear of Frenzy smashed through the Endless Sword, simultaneously piercing the already compromised Jianmen ultimate defense, the Myriad Sword Array, completely. Clearly, in the clash of sect ultimate weapons, the Kuangmen held the decisive advantage.

It wasn't necessarily that the Furious Spear of Frenzy was inherently stronger than the Endless Sword.

It was that the components forming the Furious Spear of Frenzy were stronger than those composing the Endless Sword.

The tip of the Furious Spear of Frenzy was occupied by Zhan Yi Jue, who was at the sixth layer of the World Realm, while the head of the Endless Sword was held by Ancestor Jian Mie. Furthermore, the rest of the Kuangmen contingent was stronger overall.

Therefore, the shattering of the Endless Sword by the Furious Spear of Frenzy was entirely logical.

At the same time, the Jianmen’s final defense, the Myriad Sword Array, was finally and utterly breached.

The war was about to end.

"Hahahaha! The massacre begins!" "The shell of the Jianmen—the Wulou Ke—is finally broken!" "Now it's our turn!" "Slaughter every last one of the Jianmen!"

The Kuangmen disciples rushed into the Jianmen headquarters like hungry wolves. Their combat prowess was visibly superior to the Jianmen forces. With every swift cut of the blade, the Jianmen entered a time of bloodshed; the battle was lost.

The Kuangmen possessed an abundance of formidable experts, having prepared meticulously for this declaration of war against the Jianmen for a very long time. The Jianmen, meanwhile, had recently been consumed by internal strife.

Kuangmen’s hierarchy was famously structured as the Twin Warriors, the Twin Kings, the Four Frenzied Ones, the Eight Vajras, and the Sixteen Traversers.

The strongest was naturally the leader of the Twin Warriors, Zhan Yi Jue, followed closely by the other Twin Warrior, Zhan Kuang Tie. The Twin Kings referred to Wang Chaoxiong and Wang Jiexiong, both possessing strength at the fifth layer of the World Realm. Beneath them were the Four Frenzied Ones, the Eight Vajras, and the Sixteen Traversers, each possessing their own distinct capabilities, formidable enough though perhaps not matching the Twin Warriors or Twin Kings.

Now, this multitude of fighters had largely flooded into the Jianmen, initiating a slaughter.

Gui Zongheng, one of the Sixteen Traversers, possessed a terrifying, skull-like mask and equally terrifying strength. He brought his Ghost Machete down upon Jian Xiong, sneering, "I heard your Jianmen possessed the Eight Extremes of the Sword Path. You are the strongest survivor, yet alas, you are not strong." With one strike, he felled Jian Xiong and moved in for the killing blow; his power vastly surpassed Jian Xiong’s. "So the Eight Extremes of the Sword Path is just a joke. No wonder Lu Yuan could defeat the majority of them alone. It wasn't that Lu Yuan was too strong, but that you all were too weak."

Dao Zongheng, another of the Sixteen Traversers, wielding one long and one short blade, lunged at Venerable Dongye. "Oh, Venerable Dongye, aren't you hailed as the strongest and most veteran Venerable of the Jianmen? Turns out you are also this weak." Indeed, Dao Zongheng was significantly more powerful than Venerable Dongye. "Since you are weak, die for me."

Yue Zongheng, the Sixteen Traverser known for her flowing silhouette, appeared demure, yet her attacks were savagely lethal. With a mere gesture, she slew several people until Venerable Baili intercepted her. However, Venerable Baili was pushed onto the absolute defensive within a few moves of her Moonlight Slash and was moments from death.

The other members of the Sixteen Traversers were also wreaking havoc.

Nu Jingang, one of the Eight Vajras, whose form resembled a Buddha statue, wielded a long spear and charged at Taishi Kong. "You are Taishi Kong, the current master of Jianmen, Lu Yuan's teacher. Unfortunately for you, the Kuangmen’s plan is to eliminate you first, then use your head to lure out Lu Yuan. I am here to complete that task. Die!" His spear-work radiated boundless dominance. Although Taishi Kong was currently uninjured, he was completely suppressed by Nu Jingang, with little ability to fight back.

Rou Jingang, one of the Eight Vajras, resembled a massive ball of flesh, yet one should not mistake that bulk for slowness. He relentlessly pursued Zhuge Zhishang. "Hahahaha! Zhuge Zhishang, I hear you are the original Sword Master, a fourth-layer World Realm expert. Pity you can only flee under my fleshly palm now." Zhuge Zhishang was indeed beaten nearly senseless by Rou Jingang; his opponent was powerfully strong, surpassing even a typical third-layer World Realm cultivator.

Such was the accumulated might of the Kuangmen!

Ancestor Jian Mie was preparing to rush to aid his subordinates when he was intercepted by Wang Chaoxiong, one of the Twin Kings. Wang Chaoxiong spun his long spear with a terrifying might that could shake the heavens and frighten the spirits. Wang Chaoxiong sneered, "Ancestor Jian Mie, allow me to face you. I shall see if I can slay you, the oldest specter of the Jianmen, the master who controls it all. Still trying to save others? Mind your own life!"

The Kuangmen's strength completely overwhelmed the Jianmen.

This was truly a massacre.

Only now could one truly appreciate that the ferocity of such a sect war far surpassed mere internal conflict.

The Xuan Yuan Venerable's internal strife only involved two second-layer World Realm masters clashing. The Tou Tong Faction's internal trouble saw a peak level equivalent to the Sword Wind Ancestor.

These two internal conflicts could not compare to the current sect war, where numerous World Realm experts and Venerable Realm masters were engaged in combat. Naturally, Jianmen members were falling constantly, relentlessly slaughtered. Blood dripped swiftly; the Jianmen was perilously close to annihilation.

"Kill!" "A satisfying slaughter!"

Many Jianmen members had fallen, and despair was setting in.

Yes, there was no external support, no outside help.

The Son of the Sword was clearly not intervening this time; he watched the Jianmen being butchered. The Son of the Sword was inherently cold and ruthless.

And Lu Yuan, who possessed the strength, was reportedly being pursued by Zhan Kuang Tie, one of the Kuangmen’s two greatest experts, making his return impossible.

A pervasive aura of despair spread across the grounds.

In that precise instant, a streak of sword light ignited, moving swiftly from afar toward the center. It was a flawlessly executed beam of sword light, clearly the first move of the Sword Path Pinnacle—the first sword strike instantly killed Gui Zongheng, saving Jian Xiong who was about to perish under Gui Zongheng’s blade. Zhan Yi Jue’s eyes narrowed; he recognized the sword light. Who killed Gui Zongheng with a single strike? However, even if this was the Sword Path Pinnacle, that technique had its limits; it could only kill one person, Gui Zongheng.

But Zhan Yi Jue immediately realized he was mistaken.

Because the Sword Path Pinnacle instantly teleported! Sword Path Pinnacle, teleport, then Sword Path Pinnacle again—this level of execution was incredibly difficult. Instantly, Dao Zongheng, of the Sixteen Traversers, died beneath this same sword light.

Zhan Yi Jue felt something was profoundly wrong.

Because after slaying Dao Zongheng, this sword light teleported again, executing another Sword Path Pinnacle. That meant two teleports interwoven with the Sword Path Pinnacle—a difficulty soaring to astonishing heights. Before Zhan Yi Jue could react, Yue Zongheng perished under the edge of this crystalline sword light.

And the attack had not ceased. Another teleport followed by a Sword Path Pinnacle. Three teleports layered between the technique—harder than two—and another Traverser fell before this single sword light.

The assault continued unabated. Four teleports followed by the Sword Path Pinnacle. The difficulty was terrifyingly elevated, and by this point, even Nu Jingang, a third-layer World Realm expert, was slain by this streak of sword light, saving Taishi Kong.

The offensive still raged! Five teleports connected to the Sword Path Pinnacle! This level of difficulty was unbelievable! The fleshy Rou Jingang, a third-layer World Realm expert, fell beneath this light, saving Zhuge Zhishang.

The onslaught persisted! Six teleports connected to the Sword Path Pinnacle, slaying another Kuangmen expert.

The attack was unbroken! Seven teleports followed by the Sword Path Pinnacle—a difficulty exponentially higher than six.

Eight... no, now it was nine teleports in the blink of an eye, culminating in the Sword Path Pinnacle. This difficulty could only be described as supremely arduous! Kuangmen masters continued to die under this single sword light.

Who was wielding this sword light? What was the absolute limit of their combination of teleportation and the Sword Path Pinnacle?
