Chapter 1463: Chapter 1463: Sword Light Ascends! Chapter 1463: Chapter 1463: Sword Light Ascends! Netherworld King’s plan was a very simple open strategy.

Soon, the commanders and the generals from the other eight branches also realized what was happening, and even though they understood, they had no way to counter Netherworld King.

This was the very definition of an open strategy.

To put it simply, in the aspect of climbing the Shenxuan Fire Tree, Netherworld King could afford to be patient, but the people of the Shenxuan Fire Sect could not afford to delay.

Although they would outwardly suppress the people of the Black Fire lineage together, in the end, only one person could remain on the Shenxuan Fire Tree, and no branch could possibly cooperate with peace of mind.

Therefore, they had to occupy a higher position faster than the other branches, so they could use the more concentrated power of the Fire Dao Law on the upper reaches of the Shenxuan Fire Tree to stop other branches from climbing up.

Under such circumstances, peace was impossible, and they would quickly take action to eliminate others whenever they found the opportunity.

And Netherworld King just needed to stand below, watching them start the battle, and then proceed to climb in the troubled waters.

The generals from the other eight branches looked at Netherworld King with grim expressions but were absolutely powerless.

Black Fire General stood in front of Netherworld King, raised his thumb with a smile and said, “You’re a clever one, indeed a good plan, but this method can only be used by a freak like you who’s not afraid of fire poison and has even stepped into the Origin Realm.”

Netherworld King gave a faint smile and then sat down cross-legged to conserve his energy and build up his strength.

Looking at Netherworld King’s tranquil posture, the other generals could not help but show their angry faces, and their auras burst out involuntarily.

At this moment, Black Fire General stood in front of Netherworld King, blocking these auras for him, and laughed, “Come on, you old guys, surely you haven’t lost that much magnanimity? We had an agreement that we, the commander-level figures, are not to take action.”

Hearing Black Fire General’s reminder,

the other generals then stopped.

During this half-day,

the aftermath of battles continuously cascaded down from the Shenxuan Fire Tree, but at present it was just the disciples of the nine branches fighting, targeting mainly those from the Black Fire lineage.

Under these circumstances, the disciples of the Black Fire lineage hardly had any chance to resist, and they were quickly eliminated, losing more than ninety percent!

Only the elite disciples like Huo Shuyun had the ability to survive amidst the encirclement.

And during this half-day,

the commanders of the major branches also far surpassed those disciples.

The one leading the charge was Yuan Commander from the Shen Fire lineage.

The Shen Fire lineage was the strongest among the nine branches, and Yuan Commander was the most outstanding among the commanders of the Shen Fire lineage.

His realm had reached the Ancestor Realm Peak!

Following him were Huang Commander from the Qing Fire lineage and Pang Commander from the Xuan Fire lineage.

Ren Commander and Wei Commander could only chase after them from behind.

The gap in sheer strength was not something that could be bridged in a short while.

And at this time,

Yuan Commander walking at the front, followed by Huang Commander and Pang Commander, seemed to have come to an agreement as they all stopped simultaneously.

Without any superfluous words, the three blasted a palm print towards the ground at the same time.

Standing on the trunk of the Shenxuan Fire Tree, the wisp-like power of the Fire Dao Law from the tree continuously flowed into the bodies of the three!

This one palm was more powerful than their usual palm strikes.

This was also due to the enhancement from the Shenxuan Fire Tree.

Their enormous palm imprints, like heavenly fire descending, hurtled towards the four commanders of the Black Fire lineage below!

Two of the commanders’ faces drastically changed, and they immediately shouted, “Old Ren, Old Wei, split and retreat to the backside of the Shenxuan Fire Tree and continue to climb! Leave this to us!”

Although Ren Commander and Wei Commander were reluctant, any hesitation at such a time would lead to direct defeat.

Both of them used their full strength to rush in opposite directions.

The two commanders from the Black Fire lineage, standing at the center, had no means to evade the attack of the three and could only roar as they braced themselves.

Alas, insufficient strength meant they were only deluding themselves, and the two commanders from the Black Fire lineage were directly blasted down.

His body crashed to the ground like a meteor.

It made a thunderous roar upon impact.

And it was at this very moment, when Commander Yuan and the other two seized the lull in their attacks.

From both sides of the three, a barrage of strikes swept over like an overwhelming tide!

Seeing this, Commander Yuan pushed off with his legs toward the front, propelling himself upwards.

Commander Huang of the Qing Fire lineage also released a flame barrier, deflecting the attacks and using the recoil to thrust himself upwards.

As for Commander Pang of the Xuan Fire lineage, he wasn’t so lucky. He forcibly withstood seven or eight attacks and ultimately fell downward. Under the protection of a group of Xuan Fire disciples, he steadied his footing. Although he didn’t fall completely, he had already fallen behind the other commanders.

Regarding this, no one showed any change in expression.

This was quite normal; during the climb of the Shenxuan Fire Tree, one must always guard against attacks from others.

Whether you are attacking someone, climbing, or in a defensive stance,

you might be targeted for an attack by others who are lying in wait!

Following this strike, the melee officially erupted.

The commanders also began indiscriminate assaults.

While striving to climb upward, they didn’t forget to attack the commanders of other branches that were nearby.

And at that moment,

Ye Qiubai at the base of the Shenxuan Fire Tree opened his eyes.

A fleeting flash of firelight shone in his pupils!

His body then moved with incredible lightness, shooting upward like a streak of sword light!

Seeing this, General Hei Huo looked up and said in a low voice, “Guest Elder Ye, it’s up to you now…”

Ye Qiubai quickly arrived at the area where the disciples of the nine major branches were gathered.

The disciples from the other branches sensed a sharp sword intent rapidly approaching and after a glance, they immediately launched attacks at Ye Qiubai!

Ye Qiubai’s feet adhered to the trunk of the Shenxuan Fire Tree, and as he rapidly flew upward, his fingertips snapped toward the myriad attacks in front of him!

A torrent of sword qi met these thousands of attacks like a raging flood.

There was simply no comparison.

The Sword Qi Torrent shattered the disciples’ attacks as effortlessly as breaking rotting wood.

Ye Qiubai’s eyes narrowed slightly, and with a fierce stomp of his feet, his body turned into a streak of silver sword light, breaking directly through the encirclement of the other branch’s disciples.

Where the silver sword light passed, one disciple after another was slashed across the chest, leaving a long cut.

They fell downward, losing the ability to continue climbing.

After breaking through the disciples’ encirclement, Ye Qiubai’s speed increased rather than decreased.

But this time, he didn’t continue in a straight line upward.

Instead, he spiraled around the trunk, ascending in a helical motion toward the top.

The further up, the denser the fire poison and the higher the level of the Fire Dao Law.

This also meant a slowing speed the higher one climbed.

But Ye Qiubai was unaffected by these two factors and quickly closed the gap.

Entering the field of vision of dozens of commanders above!

Seeing this, Commanders Ren and Wei, without communicating, moved instinctively toward Ye Qiubai’s inevitable path.

Attempting to escort him safely.

They knew.

If the Black Fire lineage was to claim victory, they had to rely on Ye Qiubai’s strength!
