Chapter 609 Chapter 609 – The World Stone

The long saber slashed down, leaving a trail of blood on the ground. However, not far away, Huo Changliu’s figure still appeared. He did not die from the saber strike just now.

Of course, at this moment, Huo Changliu’s condition did not look very good either. In that instant, he seemed to have avoided the fatal point. However, there was also a huge wound on his chest. Golden bones could be faintly seen through the wound.

An extraordinary aura spread out Huo Changliu. He seemed to have an extraordinary physique. Or perhaps it could be said that he had once cultivated a unique secret body forging technique. There was a hint of gold in his blood, and he seemed to have a divine and extraordinary aura.

“Who are you?”

A cold voice came from the front and finally reached the ears of everyone present.

Huo Changliu’s eyes were focused on where Xiao Han was. There seemed to be a divine king appearing in his eyes at this moment, exuding boundless majesty. That kind of radiance spread out, and its power was exceptionally shocking. Just the instinctive dispersal of its aura was enough to make people shudder. Under this kind of radiance, the wounds on Huo Changliu’s body began to recover rapidly. Drops of divine power spread out, rippling in all directions. He was like the son of a god, holy and majestic.

The people around were immediately stunned. They went forward one by one and surrounded the white-robed man that Xiao Han was disguised as, not giving him any space to escape.

From the looks of it, it was unlikely for him to escape, even if he was a fly trying to fly out. At this point, Xiao Han no longer concealed anything. Standing where he was, he extended his hand and took off the mask on his face, throwing it far to the side.

Following that, his own aura spread out, rippling in all directions and drawing in Gen Qi from all directions.

“You are… Xiao Han?”

Seeing Xiao Han’s appearance, everyone present was shocked. Even Huo Changliu could not help but frown, feeling a little surprised. “You’re not dead?”

“Thanks to you, I’m not completely dead…”

Surrounded by the people around him, Xiao Han appeared to be very shocked. His eyes stared straight at Huo Changliu in front of him, staring intently at him. There were traces of killing intent that was particularly eye-catching “Your cultivation…”

Huo Changliu was surprised. Sensing the aura on Xiao Han’s body, he couldn’t help but frown.

“I remember that three months ago, you were still in the Foundation Establishment Stage…”

In the past few years, Xiao Han has clashed with them many times. After several clashes, they naturally understood Xiao Han’s strength very well.

Three months ago, Xiao Han’s strength should still be at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although he was only one step away from the spirit transformation stage, it was still not the time for him to break through.

But now, he had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage. He wasn’t even an ordinary Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator. At the very least, that slash towards Huo Changliu just now was definitely not something an ordinary Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator could unleash.

That level of strength was almost at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage. Even cultivators at the Golden Core stage wouldn’t dare to face the attack directly.

No matter how they looked at it, this level of strength didn’t seem to be the work of an ordinary Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator. Towards this, they couldn’t help but feel surprised and even a little shocked.

Because under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to achieve such a huge change in such a short period.

“It seems that you’ve had some fortuitous encounters in the past few months. Not only did it allow you to survive, but you’ve also become so much stronger in just a few months.”

Looking at Xiao Han in front of him, Huo Changliu seemed to be deep in thought. Then, he continued, “Unfortunately, even so, you’re too confident.”

“A cultivation at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage is indeed not bad in the Qionghua Sword Sect, but what can you do here?”

He looked forward, and a faint smile appeared on his face again. Then, he waved his hand. Next to him, one figure after another walked forward and approached Xiao Han.

The auras of these people were undoubtedly very powerful. Even the weakest one among them was not inferior to Xiao Han and was not weaker than a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator.

This was Huo Changliu’s group. If one counted carefully, there were at least a dozen people present. More than a dozen Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators working together?

No matter how powerful Xiao Han’s combat strength was, he would probably lose and die at this moment.

In the distance, under the altar, Song Qingruo seemed to have sensed the situation here. She struggled to raise her head and looked in Xiao Han’s direction, her eyes filled with worry.

“Huo Changliu, do you think I didn’t prepare anything before coming here alone?” Xiao Han’s voice came from the front. Facing Huo Changliu’s pressure, he was not afraid at all. He only spoke coldly.

“Oh?”

His words caught Huo Changliu’s interest. He could not help but stop in his tracks. Then, he smiled and said, “If that’s the case, why don’t you show me what you’ve got?

“You see…”

He pointed at the array in the distance and song Qingruo. “The altar is running. Your favorite senior Song is in it.

“If you have the ability, then show me.”

Huo Changliu smiled and continued to walk toward Xiao Han. Step by step, his steps were steady. Each step was steady and had a unique rhythm.

“You’ll see.”

Xiao Han sneered and walked to the side without any hesitation. Just as everyone thought he was trying to escape, a jade-colored crystal bead appeared in Xiao Han’s hand.

It was a jade-colored crystal bead. Its color was very pure and beautiful, and it seemed to contain an infinite amount of divine light. It was exceptionally bright and eye-catching. Even if he did not hold it in his hand, he could sense that this crystal bead was extraordinary from afar. Of course, this wasn’t the most attractive part.

If it was just a magic treasure, no matter how strong this crystal pearl was, could it be stronger than the Sword of Buddha, which was an Earth Heavenly Weapon?

However, on it, the aura that faintly connected with the surrounding heaven and earth and was no different from the Sword Tomb in front of him was what truly caused people’s expressions to change.

“That is… a World Stone?”

Looking at the jade-colored crystal bead in Xiao Han’s hand, Huo Changliu’s footsteps stopped, and his expression immediately changed. He recognized the thing in Xiao Han’s hand. It was a World Stone.

The so-called World Stone was a unique treasure. Only after the world’s destruction would there be a small chance of birth. It was an absolute treasure.

And this kind of treasure also had a very important function. It could be used to suppress small worlds, and to a certain extent, it could be used to open up a world.

It could be imagined that this thing was an absolute treasure. Only the legendary Heavenly Venerates could find it. And the Xiao Han in front of him was able to find one.

Of course, this wasn’t the most suffocating thing. What made Huo Changliu uneasy was that the aura that emerged from the World Stone was shockingly identical to the Sword Tomb.

“Could it be…”

A thought flashed through his mind as he suddenly felt a sense of danger. Indeed, at the next moment, the uneasy premonition in his heart came true.

In front of him, Xiao Han took a deep breath before activating the World Stone in his hand.

Immediately, a resplendent light erupted as a mighty power rushed forward. The Sword Tomb in front of him seemed to have suddenly come to life. A brand new power began to appear as it gathered on the World Stone in Xiao Han’s hand.

The surrounding Gen Qi surged towards Xiao Han. The augmentation of that energy was terrifying and powerful. In an instant, it allowed Xiao Han to cross a long boundary and reach a higher level.

“That piece is the Sword Tomb’s World Stone!”

Upon seeing this scene, Huo Changliu immediately confirmed his thoughts. His eyes widened, feeling extremely incredulous.

If a small world wanted to be stable for a long time, it definitely wouldn’t lack an existence like the World Stone.

The Sword Tomb could exist for ten thousand years, yet it was still stable. There wasn’t the slightest sign of collapse. There was no doubt that it had the support of the World Stone.

However, what Huo Changliu never expected was that this world stone would end up in Xiao Han’s hands for some unknown reason.

In the Sword Tomb, this World Stone would be of great use.

‘Not good!’

On the spot, various thoughts flashed through Huo Changliu’s mind. Then, he suddenly realized something. He raised his head abruptly and looked forward.

He saw a violent impact coming from there, suppressing this place. That force was so powerful and terrifying that it had already far surpassed the scope of the Spirit Transformation Stage.

This was the manifestation of the power of the Sword Tomb. Under the guidance of the World Stone, it directly took shape, turning into an attack in front of them. The power level had already reached a level that ordinary people could not imagine.

Facing the power of this World Stone, not to mention Spirit Transformation Stage existences like them, even Nascent Transformation Stage existences probably would not dare to face it directly. They would be directly crushed by the power of the entire Sword Tomb and fell down quickly.

“The only way to survive is…”

Huo Changliu opened his eyes and looked at the altar in the distance. To be precise, the Sword of Buddha had turned from an illusion into reality. At this moment, it looked extremely mysterious.

Although the Sword Tomb was only a small world, the World Stone in front of them could not extract all the power of the entire Sword Tomb.

However, as long as the World Stone drew out a portion of the power in the Sword Tomb, the power that erupted from it was something that Huo Changliu and the others could not stop.

At this moment, the only existence that could stop this power was the Sword of Buddha in the distance. Thinking of this, Huo Changliu gritted his teeth. At this moment, he could no longer care about anything else.

Without any hesitation, he rushed to the altar in front of him and walked up. The others around him did the same. They followed Huo Changliu and made the same move.

Scenes of flesh and blood flying everywhere began to appear. Around Huo Changliu, some people reacted relatively quickly. When Huo Changliu had just made a move, they immediately followed him. They successfully entered the sword domain covered by the Sword of Buddha and were protected within.

However, the others who did not have the time to dodge were not so lucky. Under Xiao Han’s attack, they were all washed into a pile of minced meat, and their bodies exploded.

The smell of blood filled the air and spread in all directions.
