Shaori An opened his folding fan and his expression changed the moment it made contact with the spear. Instantly, he twisted his body, trying to avoid the incoming spear.

Although the spear was merely flying due to Aiden's punch, the power that it possessed was still something that Shaori An could not withstand!

*POOF!*

Although he managed to avoid fatal damage, his shoulder was still pierced by the spear, revealing a hole the size of a fist with the bones surrounding that area smashed into bits!

Shadow Raven's arms were shaking uncontrollably and fell limply to both sides. With his aura completely gone, he fled while muttering in a quivering voice.

"Invincible! He's invincible!"

Even the most battle-hungry and untamed wildest heir of Overlord Sect had to bow down in the face of Aiden!

—-

Invincible!

All the martial artists watching from afar had disbelief in their eyes and their mouths were agape for the longest time.

With an invincible might, this man was singlehandedly suppressing the paragons of all the top factions!

His grandeur was probably comparable to the ancient emperors!

The Old Fogies, the guardians were enraged as they moved one after another. Closing in towards the Ancient One's Palace, their expressions were livid and their auras rose endlessly.

Everyone had grossly miscalculated the situation.

None of them had expected that he could still produce such terrifying combat strength despite being struck by a full-powered attack from Zenith Sect's Guardian Elder!

Although the battle against the paragons of all the top sects sounded slow upon narration, everything happened within just a couple of seconds. By the time they reacted, some paragons had already died on the spot, and a good half of them were severely injured.

The losses were massive and it was too late for regrets.

On the battlefield.

A sword struck in a startling manner, emitting a chilling killing intent at an extremely fast speed that was almost instantaneous!

Aiden had just punched Shadow Raven with his right hand and was unable to retract it in time. As such, he could only grab the incoming sword with his left hand.

Hart You had long noticed that there was something odd about Aiden's unique physique. It felt indestructible and could even defend against perfect artifact weapons and the full-powered attack of a Guardian Elder.

Earlier on, when Aiden used his bare hands to repel Shadow Raven's massive spear, it was further confirmation of Hart You's theory!

That was the reason why he waited till this moment to strike from the left side. He wanted to strike when his opponent was least aware!

The Startling Sword was a perfect-grade artifact weapon.

Hart You refused to believe that the body of a Martial Knight martial artist could defend against the edge of a perfect artifact weapon!

Even the body of a pure-blooded ferocious beast could not reach such a level.

However, there was no way he could have known that even pure-blooded ferocious beasts had to shy away from Aiden in his original form!

When he saw Aiden reaching out with his left hand, Hart You's eyes flashed with a maniacal glint as he declared coldly. "Got you! Your life is mine!"

"Heh!" Aiden sneered.

He gripped the Startling Sword with his left palm directly and the sword let out a sinisterly cold aura. Instantly, sword force burst forth and five spirit patterns shone endlessly!

*BUZZ!* *BUZZ!*

Sword force streaked all around and flashes of blood appeared.

A series of cuts appeared on Aiden's left hand.

However, with the surge of his internal energy and the assistance of his Primal healing ability, the cuts showed signs of recovery the moment they appeared!

"Huh?"

Upon seeing that, Hart You's pupils constricted.

What strong regeneration capabilities!

The next moment, he discovered something even more frightening.

After his Startling Sword was gripped by Aiden's hand, not only did it fail to slice his hand apart, it was even being restricted with its speed slowing down!

Finally, it came to a complete halt an inch away from Aiden's head!

Hart You channeled his own bloodline and his eyes were bloodshot as he circulated spirit energy fanatically. In fact, his core inside his body was already throbbing in slight pain and his arms were trembling. He was clearly at the limits of his power.historical

As long as he could move an inch more, he could pierce Aiden's head.

However, the Startling Sword refused to budge in Aiden's palm!

Hart You could clearly see that his Startling Sword had managed to cut Aiden's palm and blood was flowing everywhere.

In fact, he could even sense the sluggish motion caused by the blade of the sword digging into Aiden's flesh and bone.

However, all his effort was wasted because of that inch of difference.

As the golden lustrous energy surged, the sword force around the blade was no longer as intense and sharp as before as it was slowly restricted and swallowed up.

Aiden's blood spilled onto the Startling Sword.

The spirit light on the sword gradually dimmed, as though it was being corroded by some sort of power!

*PZZT!*

Hart You's eyes were filled with fright when he saw the blood on his Startling Sword!

Nobody could understand the fear he felt at that moment.

What sort of heritage did this man possess such that he was even able to suppress the ethereal light of an artifact weapon?

What did everything before him imply?

It meant that if a perfect artifact weapon was soaked in the man's blood, it would be destroyed before long!

There were countless legends in the martial world. In the ancient manuals of Sword Sect, there was a statement recorded that a single drop of blood from an immortal was more than enough to crush mountains, tunnel through the voids, and kill ancient mighty figures!

Naturally, Hart You thought nothing of those legends.

Even if they were legends, could their bloodline possess such terrifying and exaggerated power?

At this very moment, Hart You realized that a person's bloodline could truly be trained to that level!

The person before him was merely at Martial Knight realm and yet, his bloodline was already this powerful.

If he were to truly become a mighty figure, patriarch, or the immortals of the legends, a single drop of his blood would truly be enough to destroy a group of living beings!

Right now, the Startling Sword was not even in Hart You's control, let alone capable of crippling that man's palm.

After it was tainted by Aiden's blood, Hart You could clearly sense that the connection between him and the Startling Sword was getting fainter and was at the threat of severing at any moment!

Just before the situation could turn truly fatal, Reverend Jor Har wielded his Diamond Staff and shone with a golden luster. His eyes burned like a torch and he had already arrived, exuding an inviolable might.

"Vile Demon! I'm here to purify you!"

"Hahaha! You? You're not qualified!"

Aiden's expression was unchanged as his right hand that was now free turned into a fist once more and welcomed the incoming Diamond Staff fiercely!

*BANG!*

Shaking violently, Reverend Jor Har's palm was split open and his Diamond Staff was sent flying.

Gripping the Startling Sword with his left hand, Aiden took a huge stride with his right leg and leaned in.

Before Reverend Jor Har could react, a figure slammed over towards his chest, leaning in to him!

"Ugh!" Reverend Jor Har's eyes widened.

A terrifying power surged into his body through the other party and instantly, Reverend Jor Har's mind went blank and he was knocked flying!

*BANG!*

Landing heavily on the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood and his gaze dimmed. His protection treasure and the golden barrier that he created through the Diamond Sutra were all shattered as well.

A series of cuts appeared densely on his face in a frightening manner!

His flesh was ruptured!

"Huh? You didn't die?"

Aiden furrowed his brows slightly.

After he took on his current form and his strength increased exponentially, that lean in should have been enough to kill Reverend Jor Har multiple times already!

Shifting his gaze, Aiden caught sight of the adorned cloth belt worn by Reverend Jor Har that radiated a strange energy and he understood instantly.

That strange cloth belt must have been an extremely strong defensive artifact weapon! Otherwise, even his indestructible Diamond body would have been smashed into a blood mist!

Struggling to stand up, there was no aura left around Reverend Jor Har as he staggered to escape like a pathetic dog.

"Hahahaha!"

Aiden roared in laughter and eyed the wretched back view of Reverend Jor Har escaping while yelling. "You want to purify me with those skills? Go back and train for another ten years first!"

When he heard that, Reverend Jor Har's legs buckled and he nearly fell over.

As the most talented powerhouse of the reverends and a peerless paragon, he had never endured such humiliation before.
