Inside a small region of a small country of a small continent.
The once prestine luminous sky grasping sect had a unusually heavy atmosphere.
A huge array spaning for tens of miles in radius was constantly being bombarded with a viscous amount of sword light.
*Booom*
The formation shook with the ancestral grounds itself. A cold sweat was pespiring through the cultivators who were standing inside of the array, some even shivering nom stop.
The sword energy present outside of the array further condensed into a flaming red sword, spanning a 100s of meters in length.
As the light obstructing sword energy dissipated, countless cultivators of various realms wearing the same flaming sword insigna were levitating in the air. Cold and aloof.
Standing at the forefront was the person controlling the flaming sword, a middle-aged man at his 40s, wearing a white red long cloak with a fire sword patterned at his back. His glowing red eyes and the red flame symbol between his eyebrows truly gave him the aura of a supernatural being.
Behind him were 12 equally powerful cultivators whose presence alone shook the nature qi around them.
And finally behind all of them, 1000s of cultivators wearing the same uniform and insigna stare at the formation with their gloating eyes.
The disciples of the sky grasping sect trembled unctrollably but upon seeing the noble people standing infront of them somewhat calmed the turmoil in their hearts.
"Sword flaming sect master! What is the meaning of your actions today! " And old man with a nobel aura shouted while controlling the array with the other 12 elders.
"Sect master li. Why do you fiegn ignorant? It is the nature of this world that the weak will be devoured by the strong. Why bother asking such meaningless questions?" He camly replied which made the sect master of the sky grasping sect roar in anger.
"Mu you son of a b****" The old sect master growled in anger.
"Language master Li. " The sect master of the sword flaming sect replied in mockery.
"Last time when you steal the spiritual viens froms our ancestral ground, you promises that the flaming sword sect will never again bother our sky grasping sect yet here you are! Degenerate liar! Are you not afraid of the heavenly punishment!! " The old sect master shoutes as the other 12 elders shook in anger.
50 years ago, seeing their declining sect, the flaming sword sect launched a full scale invasion onto the sky grasping sect.
The war was finally quenched after they were force to abdicate from their ancestral spiritual vien and relocate in this desolate mountains. There was a peace agreement for 1000 years yet here we are! The flaming sword sect dared to bully them this much due to their lacking strength. In a world of the survival of the fittest, being weak was truly a sin.
Back to the fight.
The surname Mu looked down at the old sect master, both of them seperated by the sky grasping celestial array.
"It's not like you all have forgotten about revenge, did you old li? " The sect master Mu indifferently replied as he watch the glaring face of old sect master li, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"It's not my style to leave future problems to live and continue growing...no matter how insignificant it is. " Saying that, the eyes of the sect master Mu wandered into the ancestral shrine of the sect.
"Besides... I am quite interested in your origin technique! "
"Bastard! " Old li growled in anger as the giant flame sword came crashing down the celestial array.
*Booom*
The ancestral mountain shook as various paiviloions were instantly turned to ashes, the array barely managed to defend against it but alas, numerous cracks and holes appeared on the celestial array.
"Attack" An indifferent voice comanded as the various elders and disciples of the flaming sword sect poured in through the cracks of the celestial array.
"Steady! " An elder shouted as all the disciples of the sky grasping sect prepared for battle, although a little nervous.
"Transmigration succeded "
Our mc wakes up to a hellish scene, blood and bodies everywhere as countless explosions ring in the sky, shaking the very earth itself continuously.
Before he could wander what was happening, a pang of pain hit his mind as numerous memories which weren't his came crashing down on him like a damn.
He had transmigrated into the body of Xio yan, an orphan who was selected as an outer disciple of this sky grasping sect. A mediocre disciple with a less then mediocre talent. But he did have grand ambitions but alas, all of this came to an end when a sword from the opposing sect came crashing down at him.
He further ananlyzed his situation and watched his surroundings again.
"I have no doubt about this... A sect war!!! " He exlaimed excitedly.
Meanwhile...
Old mu easily blocked the attack from the sect master li with his pinkie then his pinkie enveloped in a fiery sword energy and slashee at old li.
The slash cut through the ancestor mountain and leaved behind a feiry trail that burned whatever it touched to ashes!
"Is that all? " He mocked.
The other elders were also facing a similar problem in their own battlefields.
Feeling helpless, old li muttered "is this the end? "
He resolved himself and started carzily consuming the rest of the destroyed celestial array into his body.
The next instant, the sky was covered with an ether glow as the clouds parted ways and true qi from the ancestral ground erupted like a flood dragons, crazily rushing into old li.
"Have you gone senile!??? " Surnamed mu shouted in shock and quickly fled from there.
Seeing there sect master running away, the rest of the flaming sword sect members stood there dumbstruck. But not for long as a dark shadow covered the sky as if a celestial was descending.
Sect master li formed a two hand mudra, his eyes glowing and his body slowly disintegrating from the intenese energy.
"Behold! The true inheritance of our sect!
Sky grasping celestial hand! "
The dark shadow slowly dissapeared and eight after that, a celestial hand spanning hindreads of kilometers descended, covering the entire Jin ma county.
Old Mu showed desperation as he find himself unable to move and outrun that celestial hand which was coming towards him like a doomsday.
"Ancestor! Please save me!!! " He shouted opposite to his previous glory.
A orange light burst out from the horizon, illuminating a thousand miles as the celestial hand slowly melted away under the sword light.
Old mu finally heaved a sigh of relief as the enrieety of the sky grasping sect despaired.
"It truly is the end... " Old li whispered.
The orange light illuminating the entire sky quickly cobverged into a celestial sword within an instant as the entire land within a thousand kilometers turned black, robbed of it's light.
The celestial sword then slashed down at the sky grasping sect with the momentum to cleaved a small continent.
The memebers of the flaming sword sect who were still in the ancestor land of the sky grasping sect suddenly dissapeared like a ghost meanwhile the sky grasping sect members stood still like a chicken on the cuting board.
"Stop"
An etheral voice commanded as the void shook and time stopped.
A massive black hole spaning humdreads of kilometers appeared on the sky, below which, stood John, levitating in the air.
