Worldly Overlord - Chapter 76

The elders were greatly frightened by what they had just witnessed. Even the inner court elders couldn’t keep their calm anymore they knew they weren’t capable of killing those elders with a single move.

They could defeat them but killing them was on another level. Perhaps only the core elders were capable of such.

While most of the disciples were already crying, they wanted nothing more than to run away from here. Some of them had even begun to curse the sect master and supreme elder for not showing face.

The core elders began glancing at one another, wondering what kind of being they had offended.

“Playtime is over… If your sect master is not going to come and witness his sect being annihilated, then I’m going to force him out.” A black sword appeared in Devon’s hand.

Devon pointed his black sword at the elders in front of him, “Sword descendants.” he said in an icy voice.

The last time Devon used this technique was in his battle against Derek. At that time, there were thousands of swords in the sky, however, this time around they were millions of black swords in the sky.

Presently, this was the highest limit Devon could bring the technique to at the moment, materializing millions of black swords from celestial energy to deliver a lethal hit to its target. Each of those swords was brimmed full of celestial energy to the extent that some were coiling around it.

The reason why Devon didn’t use this technique against Derek was because of its high consumption of celestial energy. After using this technique, he would lose ninety percent of the celestial energy present in his body.

However, facing a bronze rank sect such as the Greenland sect, Devon didn’t have any other choice than to go all out against them. Besides, he had something in mind that was going to make him recover the energy he lost.

That beam of black light might seem simple, but it wasn’t anywhere close to that. As the attack was combined with both cosmic and celestial energy, one could imagine how dangerous it was. The union of that energy.

These mediocre people weren’t able to sense anything strange from the attack. Maybe if the sect master or supreme elder were here, then they might be capable of deducing the attack.

The millions of black swords in the sky launched themselves at both the elders and disciples of the Greenland sect. Some disciples still couldn’t break out the pressure pressing upon them.

Only a few of the inner and core disciples managed to break free out of it, even after that they were still had to deal with the black swords which were getting closer to them.

The swords hacked into the bodies of the disciples and elders. The outer court disciples were the first to get annihilated as they were weaker than the rest, the black swords didn’t spare any of them as they pierced through several parts of their bodies.

An outer court disciple got pierced on his forehead, arms, legs, abdomen to be honest his whole body was filled with a sword.

Even though the inner court disciples were stronger than the outer court disciples before the black swords, they were like sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

The same situation happened to the outer court elders, as all of them were annihilated. Meanwhile, it was the inner court elders and core elders that suffered the most. Most of them couldn’t bear seeing their core disciples die, so they protected them with their lives.

The scene was brutal, seeing how the members of the Greenland sect were being slaughtered. No matter if it was a male, female, adult or young; chicken, dog, duck, or goose, anything that breathed was slaughtered by those black swords.

And by the time the millions of swords finished, seventy percent of the sect members had perished under the attack of the black swords.

The former sect which had more than a thousand members had been reduced to just 150 members. 20 inner court disciples, 105 core disciples, 10 inner court elders, and 15 core elders.

Who could blame those inner court elders and core Elders for sacrificing themselves for the core disciples? One had to know that the core disciples were the future of every sect.

They were the ones that the sect fostered and gave all sorts of treasures to. As long as those core disciples manages to survive, then they were chances for the revival of the sect.

And just when they thought the disaster was over, Devon appeared before those inner court disciples. He slashed his sword towards them, that attack was just a casual wave of the sword.

But to the inner court disciples, that attack was beyond ordinary. It felt as if the whole world was about to end for them.

Each of the inner court disciples got their heads to slide off from their bodies one after the other.

Tears of blood rushed out from the remaining inner court elders eyes as they watched as their disciples die one after the other without having the strength to rescue them.

Most of them had used all the celestial energy they had in their body to resist those swords attacks. So, after the attack ended, they were left with not even an ounce of energy in their body.

The same applied to the inner court disciples, which was why they weren’t even capable of struggling against Devon’s attack.

Devon turned his attention to the inner elders, core disciples, and the core elders. He had kept them alive till now for a different reason.

Using the sword descendants technique, he lost almost all his celestial energy. The energy flowing through his body was cosmic energy and little celestial energy.

If one didn’t look at it deeply, it was very hard to even see the celestial energy that was moving, cause there were very little and faint.

After getting washed away with so many impurities from earlier, Devon didn’t want to get his body stained anymore. He knew he wouldn’t get anything from the outer court disciples and elders, but the case was different for the others.

The inner court elders and core elders wouldn’t have that many impurities in them cause at each level they ascend to they would get half of the impurities in them washed off.

Besides, keeping so many impurities would affect their growth, and for them to reach this level they must cleanse themselves several times.

While the core disciples had to be the best among them all. Every core disciple would be bathed every month in medicinal liquid to wash off the impurities they had in them. In order not to hinder their growth.

[I’ve decided to change it so, life energy can be converted into both celestial and cosmic energy. However, the conversion rate is 1:3, cosmic energy gets converted 3 times faster than celestial energy.]

And right now, what Devon needed the most was celestial energy. Due to his physique, he was incapable of fully handling cosmic energy, so anytime he uses even a little it is like a heavy burden is being placed on him.

Which why he preferred celestial energy because his body was capable of handling it.

The elders thought they were doing the sects a favor by saving those core disciples, not knowing they were actually doing Devon a favor.
