Chapter 2490 - 2457: Sword Dao Heavenly River on the March
Burning Sword Soul, burning Essence Blood, burning Blood and Flesh!
In terms of escaping, the elites among the Supreme Great Sun Sword Cultivators are professional and meticulous. Light Flame Venerable doesn’t know if the Sea-covering True Dragon Son is pursuing him, but it doesn’t matter. He assumes the Sea-covering True Dragon Son is hunting him down and escapes at the most terrifying speed, desperately concealing himself, reducing his presence.
True Immortal, their abilities are not infinite!
In this era where the embers of the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty have not dissipated, many traditions have not broken off, and they are recorded in detail. Light Flame Venerable knows very well the limits of a True Immortal’s abilities, does not mythicize them, and understands that even if Sea-covering True Dragon Son locks onto him through Cause and Effect, it takes time to hunt him down.
During this time, as long as he finds a place to shelter, he can be safe.
In fact, his Sword Dao premonition wasn’t wrong.
"Ant..."
In the battlefield just now, a cold voice came from a black-golden dragon shadow.
At this moment, just having arrived in the Time Rift, Sea-covering True Dragon Son was indeed enraged; the Blood Dragon Venerable’s Dragon Blood and Dragon Soul had successfully locked onto this Human Race Sword Cultivator who had slain him, flying over at extreme speed.
In another time, he might not have cared about the deaths of several Dragon Clan Eight Tribulation Venerables; the weak are meant to die, and the Dragon Clan also follows the cruel laws of nature.
But now, it’s different. Now he had just awakened from confinement, and nearly half of his subordinates were lost here, making him harbor violent intent.
Of course, the key is Light Flame Sword Venerable is weak enough; it only takes a little time to kill him.
...
Light Flame Sword Venerable couldn’t sense he was being hunted. There’s a significant gap between him and a True Immortal, the sensitivity of his Sword Soul cannot be utilized.
He just fled, escaping at his lifetime’s speed.
Before entering the battlefield, he had already planned his escape route; this is near the Vermilion Bird Star Realm, governed by one of the Seven Great Sword Dao Lords, Power Mountain Sword Emperor.
In this era when Heavenly Zither Sword Emperor reigns over Ziwei Tianzhu, it doesn’t mean Heavenly Zither Sword Emperor unifies the world.
She only received surface allegiance from various places, listened to commands but not proclamations, essentially controlling only about thirty percent of Endless Starry Sky-centered territories.
Beneath Heavenly Zither Sword Emperor, there still exist the Seven Great Sword Dao Lords, controlling starry territories of varying sizes; although their strength doesn’t compare to Heavenly Zither Sword Emperor, they are not to be underestimated either.
Is this the end?
No, this era is much more chaotic than expected.
Within the Seven Great Sword Dao Lords, there also exist many vassal towns of varying sizes. They can pay taxes to the Sword Dao Lords, dispatch troops, but when the Lords want to remove vassals, inner and outer turmoil will silently emerge. Even if a Sword Dao Lord is a powerful Emperor Realm Cultivator and their dominion holds several Emperor Realm Cultivators, they cannot completely change this situation.
This is the era of fifty-four emperors over millions of years, full of chaos, full of Sword Cultivator warfare. Every moment countless masses perish in the mortal world, a time ruled by the Sword Madman.
The path Light Flame Sword Venerable plans for survival is the Great Thousand World closest to him in the Vermilion Bird Star Realm!
As long as he enters the Great Thousand World, enters Power Mountain Sword Emperor’s territory, then he would eagerly await the arrival of a Dragon Clan True Immortal.
"Come..."
"Really wish you’d come..."
In Light Flame Sword Venerable’s eyes, scarlet flames flicker, holding both excitement and terror.
A strong desire arose within him. Once he clears this tribulation, his obstacles to ascend as a Quasi-Emperor will be completely swept away. If his plan succeeds in killing the Dragon Clan True Immortal, then his hope for ascending to the Emperor Realm would soar by at least twofold!
Opportunity?
What is an opportunity?
This is the opportunity most sought by Sword Cultivators, the greatest opportunity found within the Time Rift!
If ascending to Sword Emperor, he would not be weak in front of a newly revived True Immortal. If a True Immortal boldly forces entry into his Star Domain, weakened, he might even try to slay the True Immortal!
Clang~
Clang clang clang~
Between the starry sky, suddenly, a sword chime like a Fengling sounded, crisp and melodious, spreading like ripples in all directions, affecting deep layers of the Great Dao.
Light Flame Sword Venerable suddenly felt his breath stifled, then his Escape Light slowly came to a stop, waiting in place.
At this moment, like a dreamy traveler, he suddenly realized some heavy, unknown pressure on him had disappeared, and he became much more relaxed.
But before this moment, he knew nothing, not even Sword Soul could warn him a bit.
"So,"
"He’s really chasing..."
Light Flame Sword Venerable felt lost.
He tidied his attire, embraced his sword, and gazed towards the Star Sea.
In the cosmic Gang Wind Ocean Flow, the Fengling-like sword chime was becoming clearer, closer, until it flew from light years away in a resplendent Sword Dao Heavenly River, traveling towards an unknown direction, its speed terrifyingly exceeding many True Immortals!
Nearer, even closer.
At this moment, Light Flame Sword Venerable could clearly see this flow of the Sword Dao Heavenly River in the cosmos.
It turned out to be Flying Swords one after another, formations of Supreme Great Sun Sword Cultivators traveling through space at explosive speed, their Escape Light formed a cosmic heavenly river, evidently chasing some target.
They seemed to be sensed by Eight Tribulation Venerables, yet they were extremely distant, unknown in which part of the starry sky.
It was them who startled the True Immortal pursuing Light Flame Sword Venerable, and possibly Sea-covering True Immortal is now frantic in escape because this Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Soldiers appearing here is not for a picnic but for bloodshed. In the universe, the targets worthy of such an explosive rapid military formation travel are few.
Many Cultivators mistakenly believe that Sword Cultivator armies with vast numbers are burdened, thus slow.
Actually, this is outdated knowledge for countless years, a misconception due to low levels of Immortal Dao Technology.
In the Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Soldiers, the more numerous the Sword Cultivator army, the stronger the average strength of Sword Cultivators, the larger cosmic mass, the greater the inertia, the faster the army travels!
Any strong individuals with such misconceptions were all hunted to death by Sword Cultivator armies.
And now, this Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Soldiers is hunting some target!
Light Flame Sword Venerable immediately reached this conclusion.
Do not forget, he was educated as a Supreme Great Sun Sword Cultivator from a young age, almost identical to the heritage of these Sword Cultivators before him, same origin, high military education.
Clang!
From afar, a crisp sword chime sounded.
This is encrypted communication among Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Soldiers, equivalent to inquiring: "Sword Cultivator, you’ve entered Power Mountain Sword Venerable’s starry territory without any identification, please report identity and purpose, wait in place, do not execute any hostile actions."
"Otherwise, die."
This Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Soldiers declared coldly.
In fact, this is mercy.
If not for Light Flame Sword Venerable being an obvious Supreme Great Sun Sword Cultivator, his only options would be surrender or death, no third option.
