Chapter 662: Insufficient Strength

The Fiend Ancestor gave the order to the mighty figures under him and they disseminated the order down. After the order passed down through numerous levels, countless Skyfiends in the Three Realms learned of the news.

“So the Tenebrous Cloud Tower that has been doing evil all this while has so many Skyfiends backing it.” A third firmament Daoist looked furiously at the group of Skyfiends in a hall. Seated on a high throne was the leader who roared with laughter.

“Haha, Qu Feng, you are quite a talent. You have been at odds with my Tenebrous Cloud Tower time and time again, but the might you’ve seen from my Tenebrous Cloud Tower is only the tip of the iceberg. Do you think we aren’t aware that you have been investigating where our nest is?”

“Your infiltration was crystal clear to all of us.” The other Skyfiends looked down at the pathetic ant.

“Qu Feng, you are quite talented, so I’m giving you an opportunity. Submit to my Tenebrous Cloud Tower and convert to the Fiendish Dao. I will take you in as my disciple, how about that?” The leader looked at the Daoist beneath him.

The Daoist wore an ugly expression. “Dream on. Go ahead and kill me.”

“Why do this? In terms of cultivation, our Fiendish Dao has a variety of Dharmic formulations. It’s much faster cultivating them. With your realm, it won’t take you longer than ten years to reach the Skyfiend level,” said the leader with a smile.

“That’s unorthodox.” The Daoist sneered.

“The size of one’s fist determines everything in this world. There’s no such thing as orthodox or unorthodox…” said the leader as he laughed. It was true that fiendish cultivation was more radical with numerous evil means, making it harder for fiends to become Ancestral Fiends. However, to most cultivators, becoming a mighty figure was too distant a goal. Therefore, the Fiendish Dao was very alluring.

It resulted in the rapid proliferation of the Fiendish Dao throughout the Three Realms. There might be many who failed to succeed in coming under a Daoist sect, but converting to the Fiendish Dao allowed success. This was the appeal of the fiends.

“Come, join my Tenebrous Cloud Tower. Join and you will gain everything you want,” continued the leader when a voice suddenly bellowed within the hall.

“Disciple, quickly escape the Great World and hide in a Small World. Quick!”

“Master!” The leader was alarmed.

The surrounding Skyfiends were astonished as well. Their leader’s master was a fiendish mighty figure.

“Quick, Sword Immortal Qin has already arrived in your Great World!” The voice sounded extremely urgent.

Boom!

Countless Sword Qi appeared out of the void. In a blink of an eye, the countless Sword Qi flew through the hall, piercing through one Skyfiend after another, turning them to ash. The Daoist was the only survivor.

“They are all dead?” The Daoist looked around in a daze. The Skyfiends were all much more powerful than him. The leader, who could have crushed him with a finger, was now dead?

“Escape the Great World and hide in a Small World? Only by hiding in a Small World can survival be possible?” the Daoist muttered. “That Sword Immortal Qin must be a mighty figure.”

As a third firmament Essence Soul, he had never heard of Sword Immortal Qin.

…

“Quick.”

The Skyfiends fled one after another.

Some flew in horror. “Master, this Sword Immortal Qin is wiping out the Skyfiends of the Three Realms. Can’t any of the mighty fiendish figures stop him?”

“He can’t be stopped.”

A sigh resonated in his ears. Following that, the master ignored his disciple.

If they could not escape a Great World in time, they were destined to be annihilated.

“No fiend can stop him? Isn’t it said that the Fiend Ancestor can match that of the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor? Is Sword Immortal Qin that terrifying?” The fleeing Skyfiends refused to believe this.

To sweep through the Skyfiends of the numerous Great Worlds would definitely cause an intense counterattack from the fiends.

The fiends had a few perfected Great Dao existences, such as the King of Myriad Fiends, Boxun and Patriarch Blood Sea to name two. The Fiend Ancestor could even request the help of other perfected Great Dao existences, such as the Chaos Three Banes, or ancient existences like God King Zhurong. However, the fiends were truly out of solutions when Qin Yun attacked!

With a half-step Heavenly Dao realm and the will of one that only had a few millennia left to live…

The fiends could not deal with him. Even if the Fiend Ancestor sought the help of ancient existences, none of them were willing to help. Who wouldn’t suffer a headache from Qin Yun’s maniacal revenge?

…

Qin Yun “cleaned up” the numerous Great Worlds, hoping to clean up the “house” that was the Three Realms.

The Skyfiends from the first two Great Worlds did not receive the order in time and were wiped out by Qin Yun.

From the third Great World on, the Skyfiends began fleeing frantically. All of them typically had life-preservation treasures used to traverse the void, but most of them were for short distances. It was rather common to instantly escape tens of thousands of kilometers, but to escape a Great World entirely… would be difficult! Only a few Skyfiends had the life-preservation treasures capable of removing them from a Great World.

There were others who were more powerful, capable of casting Major Void Transference themselves. They naturally escaped easily into Small Worlds.

Qin Yun was out of solutions once they escaped into a Small World.

Therefore—

Although Qin Yun showed no mercy, many late-stage Skyfiends managed to escape. After all, most late-stage Skyfiends were capable of teleporting across relatively long distances. A few teleportations was sufficient to escape the Great World.

But in terms of numbers, the early and mid-staged Skyfiends took up 99% of the entire number slain. Few of these Skyfiends managed to escape.

“Whoosh~”

Countless Sword Qi descended from the void, slaying one Skyfiend after another. Countless Skyfiends seemed to disperse like evaporating bubbles. Even those with avatars were killed when Qin Yun’s sword beams traced their karmic lines.

“How ruthless. Apart from the fiendish dominions, 99% of all the Skyfiends in the other Great Worlds have been killed. Probably ten million Skyfiends have been killed. It’s truly a major calamity for the Skyfiends in the Three Realms. But why am I so happy seeing this?” In the Heavenly Courts, two mighty figures were watching everything that was happening in the Three Realms remotely as they chatted.

“There are few that have the strength to do this in the Three Realms. And the only one who dares to do so is Sword Immortal Qin! I have to say I’m impressed.”

“The Three Realms has sixty dominions. Ten of them are controlled by the fiends while another twenty-six dominions are infiltrated by the fiends. Back when Sword Immortal Qin was invincible in Small Worlds, he caused countless Small Worlds in the twenty-six dominions to be taken back. The Skyfiends in those Small Worlds either went to the fiendish dominions or to Great Worlds. Now, the Great Worlds in the twenty-six dominions are being swept again. It could be said that the fiendish forces in the twenty-six dominions have been almost wiped out. Only a few Skyfiends remain there to live abject lives.”

“Yes, nearly all fiends outside the fiendish dominions have been wiped out.”

Mighty figures who watched this scene from various spots in the Three Realms could not help but marvel and applause.

“Well done!”

“Here, let’s drink. How elating!”

There were mighty figures who abhorred evil and had once thought of massacring the fiends, but they lacked the strength. Even the typical perfected Great Dao existence did not dare offend the fiends to such an extent.

But Qin Yun had done so.

He made the Three Realms falter in disbelief. Regardless of their faction, everyone had to admit to Sword Immortal Qin’s strength.

“This Qin Yun is too insolent! Way too insolent!”

“He deserves death!”

“Let him enjoy his days. Each Itinerant Immortal tribulation is more terrifying than the last. The eleventh Itinerant Immortal tribulation can only be survived by a perfected Great Dao existence, and the twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation likely can only be withstood by a Heavenly Dao realm existence. This Qin Yun will definitely be obliterated.”

“Yes, he’s doomed when he has to transcend the later tribulations.”

The Ancestral Fiends were raging in madness because the countless dying Skyfiends were their disciples. Now that they had been wiped clean, they did not even dare show their faces.

…

Qin Yun stood in midair.

“That’s almost all.” Qin Yun stopped as well, allowing for merit to continuously descend upon him.

He looked at those worlds from afar, seeing countless mortals rejoice as they escaped the clutches of evil. He could not help but smile. Merit was only secondary in his motivations. More important was his wish to do something to help these countless lives! He knew how tragic it was for mortals to live under the terror of the fiends. He wished for humanity to lead better lives.

“I wish to do more for this world, but what I can do is limited.” Qin Yun shot a glance at the ten fiendish dominions. There was nothing he could do to those areas for he had insufficient strength.
