Chapter 15571 Retreat
Zhao Hai's spiritual power far exceeded these people's imagination. So far, Zhao Hai has never encountered anyone whose spiritual power surpasses his. Zhao Hai felt that the only one who could compare to him might not be the woman who absorbed people's luck through her white hair. However, Zhao Hai did not think that his spiritual power was weaker than that woman's. It could be said that his spiritual power was far stronger than that of the people in the Divine Realm, completely on two different levels, worlds apart. Logically speaking, if Zhao Hai no longer cared about the Blood Slaughter Sect, he could ascend directly. Zhao Hai could even imagine that he would definitely ascend to the realm where the white-haired woman was. However, Zhao Hai was also very clear that he could not abandon the Blood Slaughter Sect. This was not only because he had built the Blood Slaughter Sect and brought it to its current height, but also because the Blood Slaughter Sect's headquarters was in the Void Realm, which was a spiritual anchor point for him, inseparable from him. Zhao Hai even believed that even if he ascended to the realm where the white-haired woman was, he could not abandon the Void Realm. In fact, the Void Realm would be even more important to him then. Therefore, he certainly could not abandon the Blood Slaughter Sect.

This is why Zhao Hai could use his mental power to lock onto the Sima family's giant sword, but he didn't intend to make a move. He wanted to see how the Heavenly Sphere would respond. He had a lot of confidence in the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. Even if the giant sword was extremely powerful, it would be very difficult to break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. Even if they could break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, it wouldn't be a big deal. Even if the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall had a hole, the Heavenly Vine would immediately plug it, and the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall would slowly recover and soon be completely restored, and the hole would be plugged. Therefore, if the people in the Divine Realm wanted to break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, they would have to destroy a section of the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall that was more than a hundred miles long, or even a thousand miles long. Otherwise, they would not be able to break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. This is the most terrifying thing about the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall; it has an almost infinite ability to recover.

The magic array within the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall can be adjusted at any time. After the Blood Slaughter Sect absorbed the Wood Spirit Clan and obtained their bloodline magic array, they directly applied this bloodline magic array to the ouroboros within the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. Therefore, each ouroboros in the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall now possesses the innate abilities of the Wood Spirit Clan. The Wood Spirit Clan's innate abilities are extremely powerful, boasting strong defense, regeneration, and immense strength—all qualities required by the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. Zhao Hai was certain that it would be virtually impossible for the people of the Divine Realm to breach the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall because he knew that the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall already possessed the Wood Spirit Clan's bloodline magic array.

As Zhao Hai's mental energy locked onto the Sima family's giant sword, the sword was ready. Golden light flashed, and the giant swords pierced straight towards the Ten Thousand Snake Wall. Zhao Hai's mental energy remained locked onto the Sima family's giant sword. Just as the giant sword was about to enter the attack range of the Heavenly Vine, it suddenly disappeared from its original position.

Zhao Hai was taken aback, but he immediately sensed that the giant sword had appeared in another position. It was the leftmost one of all the giant swords. In other words, the giant sword had suddenly changed its position.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Hai immediately understood the greatsword's ability: it could switch between those illusions at any time. This ability was incredibly powerful, especially in one-on-one situations. If the enemy thought your attack was coming from the front, but you suddenly shifted the sword to the side, you could catch them off guard. This ability was indeed quite remarkable, and now the Sima family wanted to use this method to deal with the Ten Thousand Snake Wall.

Zhao Hai was able to pinpoint the true form of the giant sword because of his incredibly powerful mental strength. No one else could possibly do so, as the aura emanating from the giant sword and the phantoms was identical. Even with mental probing, the aura remained the same. Many might think this was a clone technique, meaning all the giant swords were real. However, if it were truly a clone technique, the giant sword's attack power would be reduced. If the Ten Thousand Snake Wall treated all the swords as real, it would have to defend against dozens of swords. But in reality, only one sword was real; the rest were fake. This allowed the Sima family to concentrate all their power on this single sword, making its attack extremely powerful. If the Ten Thousand Snake Wall were to defend against dozens of swords, it would likely be at a disadvantage.

However, Zhao Hai did not intend to remind the Ten Thousand Snake Wall. Even though the Ten Thousand Snake Wall suffered a loss this time, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for them. You must know that the Heavenly Sphere has a very strong calculation ability. It not only absorbs successful battle examples, but also absorbs failed battle examples. It absorbs these failed battle examples, summarizes them, finds out the reasons for the failure, and will not fail again next time. Therefore, Zhao Hai did not intend to interfere and directly command the Ten Thousand Snake Wall. The Ten Thousand Snake Wall's Heavenly Sphere calculation ability is strong, and he needs to learn. As long as he can learn this time, then in the future, when facing attacks from the Sima family, the Heavenly Sphere will not suffer losses again.

This was the first time Yan Tianqiu had encountered such an attack. He had indeed treated all the giant swords as real swords. So, just as those giant swords entered the attack range of the Tongtian Vine, more than a dozen vine pillars made up of countless intertwined Tongtian Vine immediately extended from the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. These vine pillars were all golden and went straight to meet the giant swords.

With a deafening roar, the vine pillars crashed into the giant swords, and all the giant swords vanished. Only one giant sword broke through the vine pillars and pierced straight towards the wall of ten thousand snakes.

The giant sword was incredibly fast. When it pierced the vine pillar, the pillar instantly turned to ashes, while the sword, undiminished in momentum, continued its thrust towards the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. The Ten Thousand Serpent Wall reacted just as quickly. It moved, and countless towering vines crashed into the giant sword. These vines shimmered with multicolored light, and simultaneously, the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall itself began to glow with a red light. This red light was none other than the Limitless Fire Array. The Ten Thousand Serpent Wall wasn't entirely without defense; it possessed its own defensive arrays, and the Limitless Fire Array was one of them. Now, the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall had activated this array as well.

As soon as the Fiery Limitless Array was activated, a red fist immediately shot out from the Ten Thousand Serpents Wall and struck the giant sword. At the same time, the Heavenly Vines, which were flashing with multicolored light, had already opened up the giant sword, but they did not seem to have any effect on the giant sword. On the contrary, as long as the Heavenly Vines touched the giant sword, they all turned into ashes. It seemed that the power of the giant sword was too strong. As long as it touched the sword, it would turn into ashes. Such a strong attack was the first time that the Blood Slaughter Sect had encountered it.

At this moment, the red fist struck the tip of the giant sword, and a loud boom was heard. The entire Ten Thousand Serpent Wall seemed to tremble slightly. But what was surprising was that the red fist actually withstood the giant sword's attack. Although the giant sword pierced into the red fist a little, it did not destroy the red fist. The red fist was still there, while the giant sword stopped there, blocked by the red fist. This was completely beyond Sima Xiao's expectations.

Sima Xiao thought he could break through the Blood Slaughter Sect's defenses. Their Luoshui Phantom Sword could directly pierce into the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall and destroy a section of it. However, he did not expect that their strongest attack would be blocked. This was completely unexpected. Sima Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed completely.

Zhao Hai, however, watched the Myriad Serpent Wall's defense with shining eyes. To be honest, this defense was truly excellent, even better than Zhao Hai had imagined. He even wondered if he could have commanded it better than the Myriad Serpent Wall defending on its own. The reason the Myriad Serpent Wall's final attack, the red fist, was able to block the giant sword's blow wasn't simple. The red fist was incredibly hard, but it also contained countless spiritual threads. These threads dispersed the power of the sword strike. This is why the Myriad Serpent Wall seemed to tremble when the sword was blocked. The spiritual threads within the red fist completely dispersed the sword's power, so it wasn't just the red fist that bore the brunt of the attack, but a large portion of the Myriad Serpent Wall. The reason the Myriad Serpent Wall trembled was because the sword's power was distributed throughout the wall, and the entire wall bore the brunt of the attack, hence the tremor.

However, regardless of the circumstances, they managed to block the Sima family's sword strike this time. Upon seeing this, Sima Xiao's expression completely changed, and he immediately shouted, "Everyone, retreat!" After saying this, he moved his mind, and the giant sword transformed into a normal longsword, returning directly to the palace at great speed. Clearly, he didn't want the Blood Slaughter Sect to have a chance to seize the longsword. However, Zhao Hai had no intention of grabbing the longsword. If he wanted to, he would have done so long ago and wouldn't have waited until now. He didn't need to grab the longsword at all; there was no need for it. The longsword was useless to him.

Only after the Luoshui Phantom Sword returned to his hand did Sima Xiao finally breathe a sigh of relief. He then took a deep look at the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall and said, "Retreat." After saying this, his palace transformed into a streak of red light and disappeared. The rest of the Sima family members also transformed into various colored lights and vanished. They knew very well that there was no point in them staying. With their strength, they had no chance of breaking through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, so it was best for them to retreat.

Zhao Hai watched the Sima family retreat and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned to Elder He and said, "You stay here. Remember, if the people from the Divine Realm attack again, let Yan Tianqiu take charge."
