Chapter 774: Chapter 772: Is This Even Worthy of Being Called a Sword?
Xiao Yi’s face was adorned with a splendid smile as he looked at Yang Dingtian and the others, "I am the true master of the temple!"
Boom!
This statement struck like a bolt from the blue.
It caused the complexions of everyone present to turn slightly white, revealing expressions of disbelief.
Especially Yang Dingtian, Su Xinghe, and Elder Tianku, they wore looks of utter disbelief.
Gurgle!
Su Xinghe swallowed hard, his face alternating between ashen and pale, he asked in disbelief, "Xiao Yi, you, you, you... what are you saying? You’re saying you’re the master of the temple?"
All eyes were suddenly fixed on Xiao Yi.
Waiting for his response.
Particularly Yang Dingtian, he was extremely nervous and agitated, very much hoping that the answer from Xiao Yi’s mouth would be negative. After all, he had paid a heavy price and had become mortal enemies with Elder Tianku in order to seize the temple’s divine stone, spending an entire month refining it and therefore gaining control over the temple.
He had been proudly announcing this news in front of everyone.
If in the end...
the master of the Cloud Dream Temple was Xiao Yi, then he really felt like coughing up blood impulsively!
Xiao Yi scanned the crowd.
He saw the expressions on their faces and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mocking cold smile as he spoke lightly, "I’m sorry, you did not hear wrong, nor did I speak wrongly... I am indeed the master of the Cloud Dream Temple!"
"Impossible!"
Yang Dingtian’s eyes were a blood-red, his anger caused his veins to wriggle like mad dragons, he glared at Xiao Yi with bloodshot eyes and roared, "This is absolutely impossible. You were nowhere to be seen from the moment the temple’s divine stone appeared until I obtained and refined it. How could you possibly be the master of the Cloud Dream Temple?"
Su Xinghe nodded and said, "Elder Yang is right, the temple’s divine stone has been under our surveillance the entire time, there’s no way you could have tampered with it!"
"Unless..."
Elder Tianku, who had not spoken until now, suddenly turned extremely grim. His grey eyes were no longer calm but filled with a chilling killing intent, "Unless from the very beginning, there was something wrong with that temple’s divine stone!"
Boom!
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Those strong figures who had just entered the Cloud Dream Temple began to understand the cause and effect from the conversation between the few, and started whispering to each other, "This is getting interesting... Yang Dingtian from the Nantian Holy Land, Elder Tianku from the Changsheng Sect, and Su Xinghe from Galaxy Valley, these three powerful Earth Venerate Realm experts fought fiercely over the temple’s divine stone. And now it turns out to be fake?"
"That makes me laugh, Yang Dingtian was just putting on an air as if he were the third most important figure after heaven and earth, and now he must be flustered, right?"
"If what Elder Tianku said is true, and the temple’s divine stone was fake from the start, then how did Xiao Yi take control of the Cloud Dream Temple?"
"Regardless of how he took control of the Cloud Dream Temple, Yang Dingtian and the other two have really lost face this time!"
The whispers of the crowd turned the faces of Yang Dingtian and the others green.
Their gaze toward Xiao Yi became even more frosty.
And was also filled with ferocity and resentment.
Xiao Yi had not only made them lose face, but he had also snatched away the Cloud Dream Temple.
There was already a deadly enmity between them.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Xiao Yi extended his hand into the air, palm up, as he lightly twitched his fingers. Countless rays of light swirled above his palm, weaving into a purple-gold crown of imperial dignity. This crown was unassuming in appearance, just a common seventh-tier Yuan weapon that was considered decent to Earth Venerate Realm experts.
"Isn’t that the crown from earlier on Treasure Rock?"
"Xiao Yi took out this crown, what does this mean?"
In the midst of everyone’s confusion,
Xiao Yi explained with a smile, "The real key to controlling the Cloud Dream Temple is not the temple’s divine stone, but this crown that no one paid attention to on Treasure Rock. As for that piece of temple’s divine stone, it was just some trash that I conjured up at will!"
Boom!
As soon as these words came out, the strong ones present were dumbfounded, speechless.
Especially those strong figures who had entered the Cloud Dream Temple from the very beginning were so angry they felt like spitting blood. Previously, a few among them had passed by this very crown, but all their attention was on the Yuan weapon armors and powerful Yuan weapons—how could they have noticed a mere crown?
"I, I’ve just brushed past this crown before!"
"I’ve touched this crown, and I, I’ve actually just missed the position of the master of the Cloud Dream Temple?"
"No..."
One after another, the strong figures beat their chests and stamped their feet, filled with immense regret.
Yang Dingtian and the other two’s eyes turned red.
Previously, many strong individuals under their command had obtained this crown, but they didn’t take it seriously.
The high and mighty powers of the Longevity Secret Realm bathed in bloodshed, all for the sake of fighting over that piece of temple-preserving god stone. Turns out, the god stone was nothing but a worthless rock; they treated it like a treasure, engaging in bloodshed here, fighting until they were battered and bleeding, even Elder Tian Ku had lost an arm.
Their faces felt a series of sharp slaps.
The pain on their faces was scorching hot!
That slap was just too harsh!
"I’m dying of laughter!"
"The three great Earth Venerate Realm powerhouses were played like monkeys..."
"Such a ruthless slap on the face..."
The mocking laughter from the crowd left Su Xinghe and the two others’s faces alternating between green and white, as a raging fury seemed to pile up in their chests.
Their eyes gleamed coldly like the edges of knives, their anger burning like two fiery orbs, fiercely alight. Su Xinghe’s eyes were blood-red, having lost all reason.
Xiao Yi had trapped and killed the entire younger generation of Galaxy Valley.
And now...
Even he had been played by Xiao Yi, his face slapped repeatedly.
The temple-preserving god stone was the last hope for Galaxy Valley’s rise, and now it had been completely crushed by Xiao Yi.
With this thought,
Su Xinghe let out a low roar, and around his figure, dazzling stars began to appear. Silver light shone brilliantly, tearing through space in an instant. In a flash, Su Xinghe’s form seemed to merge with the stars in the heavens, flickering and indistinct, as if he had become thousands.
"That’s the Starlight Avatar?"
"It is said that Su Xinghe’s Martial Tao Skill embodies the heavenly starlight, condensing a body of starlight, and with the Starlight Avatar, it becomes hard to distinguish the true from the false..."
"Su Xinghe is now striking out in anger, Xiao Yi is probably no match for him!"
In the midst of everyone’s discussions.
Across the heavens...
A myriad of starlights suddenly converged toward the center, countless starlights coalesced, and the flowing celestial light gathered into a river of stars. A resplendent galaxy formed into a terrifying sword, hurtling towards Xiao Yi and slashing down: "Starlight Slash!"
Swish swish swish!
A myriad of starlights converged, vast and majestic, like the Milky Way descending from the nine heavens.
This sword...
Seemed to cleave the heavens and the earth.
The unparalleled Sword Intent seemed capable of creating the world itself.
Everyone couldn’t help but marvel at the terror and might of this sword.
In their eyes... 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
Slaying Xiao Yi with this sword was just a matter of ease!
Under the gathering of the boundless sword light.
Xiao Yi slowly raised his right hand, reaching out, and in the next second, the shocking sword light seemed to freeze mid-air with a buzz. The expressions of Su Xinghe and others also froze, all with their eyes wide open and faces filled with disbelief, while Xiao Yi’s voice echoed through the heavens: "So this, it deigns to be called a sword?"
