Chapter 802: One Sword Ascends to Immortality
The blood mist filled the air, shocking and awe-inspiring, leaving Su Han and the others stunned.
This was a quasi-emperor, and yet he died just like that, crushed directly, with nothing left behind.
The Mysterious Great Sword Saint was the most shocked because his peak strength was on par with the Equal King, and now, sixty years on, he was far inferior to the Equal King. Yet even the Equal King was easily crushed by the Flying Immortal Great Emperor; if he faced the Flying Immortal Great Emperor, the outcome would likely be no different.
The immense power of the Flying Immortal Great Emperor gave him a strong sense of defeat, but with little time left in his life, if he didn’t fight once, he would completely fade away.
Either choice leads to death, so why not take a gamble!
The Mysterious Great Sword Saint gritted his teeth, his determination unwavering, because he had no other choice.
"Too strong!"
Su Han took a deep breath, finally understood the power and terror of the Flying Immortal Great Emperor. This was the enemy he would face in the future. A sense of crisis surged in his heart, spurring him to work harder to become stronger, otherwise, the Equal King would be a cautionary tale.
The Equal King was dead. He was one of the Ten Great Yama Kings of King Yama’s Palace and a quasi-emperor. If this news spread, it would surely shake the entire Central Plains, leaving countless people shocked.
However, this battle was not over yet. Although the Equal King was dead, King Chu Jiang of King Yama’s Palace was still present, and he was a true Great Emperor Realm powerhouse.
No one knew his true identity, but someone who could become a Great Emperor was naturally not ordinary. Even the weakest of the Great Emperor Realm First Layer stood at the pinnacle of Martial Arts, overlooking countless beings.
Su Han quietly watched the battle unfold. It had already far exceeded his expectations and control. Facing a Great Emperor Realm powerhouse, he could only honestly be a spectator.
"Flying Immortal Great Emperor, this is a provocation against my King Yama’s Palace. The Ten Great Yama Kings will soon descend upon the Imperial Capital. The Nangong Imperial Clan a hundred years ago is a lesson for your Heavenly Sword Dynasty!"
With the Equal King killed, an enraged voice of King Chu Jiang, from somewhere unknown, threatened. The entire world trembled, terrifying imperial might cracked the space, split the ground, and mountains crumbled, akin to an apocalyptic disaster.
Killing the Equal King, one of the Ten Great Yama Kings, was equivalent to declaring war on King Yama’s Palace. Naturally, King Chu Jiang could not swallow this insult.
But he also knew he alone could not handle the Flying Immortal Great Emperor. After the threat, he turned to leave, intending to gather other Yama Kings and the army of King Yama’s Palace, just as they did a hundred years ago against the Nangong Imperial Clan, to conquer the Heavenly Sword Dynasty.
Though strong, he believed King Yama’s Palace had the strength to defeat the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, reducing it like the Nangong Imperial Clan into fragments.
No one should think of challenging the dignity of King Yama’s Palace!
"Threaten me? What do you count as? Since you’ve come, then stay!"
The Flying Immortal Great Emperor stretched out his hand, grabbing an Emperor Sword into his grasp.
This was his sword, named the Destructive Imperial Sword, a superior grade Emperor’s Artifact, forged from Time Emperor Gold, entirely a light golden color, with time flowing along the blade, as if it had been pulled from the river of time.
Holding the Destructive Imperial Sword, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor’s entire demeanor changed, no longer tranquil, but cold and murderous, like a peerless sword god descended into the world, unstoppable beneath the heavens.
"One sword!"
The Flying Immortal Great Emperor uttered two words, then raised the Destructive Imperial Sword.
An indescribably terrifying sword radiance erupted from the Destructive Imperial Sword, illuminating the nine heavens and ten earths, piercing through the ancient firmament.
The sword radiance was dazzling to the extreme, seemingly tearing open the universe and void. At that moment, all beings in Cangzhou saw this sword light that severed the sun and moon.
Within the sword light, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor gripped the Destructive Imperial Sword with both hands, becoming one with it, transforming into an incomparably bright sword radiance. At that moment, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor seemed to merge entirely into the sword light, with all spiritual energy, laws, and divine sense becoming one with it, indistinguishable from each other.
Rumble.
Heaven and earth seemed to open, nine heavens’ celestial beings stepped forward, holding swords to strike, one sword splitting the sea.
"Flying Immortal!"
As the last two words of the Flying Immortal Great Emperor were spoken, the entire world trembled.
One Sword Ascends to Immortality!
This was the Flying Immortal Great Emperor’s self-created ultimate move, unique in the world. Most only heard of its name, but never witnessed it firsthand, yet now Su Han was fortunate to see it.
Crack!
As the Flying Immortal Great Emperor unleashed his sword.
In the void, azure lightning exploded out of thin air, the Sword Intent of Ages was stirring, and endless power of space-time interwoven. Even the light of the sun was obscured by this sword.
Countless people within Cangzhou looked up, seeing only darkness in the sky, with one sword light piercing the sun and moon, cleaving the void, like the blade of an ancient deity splitting chaos.
Even the vast world seemed tiny before this sword.
This one sword.
Could slay the gods of the heavens!
"What a powerful sword!"
Su Han’s eyes reflected this world-shocking sword light, his whole body stiff, unable to move due to the ensuing shockwaves. He felt a pain all over, as if unable to withstand the aura, about to be shattered by the intangible aura.
Too strong!
Too terrifying!
Too horrifying!
Is this the One Sword Ascends to Immortality created by the Flying Immortal Great Emperor?
The power of this sword likely reached the pinnacle of martial arts, with few in the world able to match it.
And at this moment, the sword light cut through water like drawing a knife, slicing through space, annihilating time, slashing toward a certain place in the sky.
There, the space split open, a figure stood in the void, it was King Chu Jiang.
King Chu Jiang wore a gold-patterned black robe and a fierce mask, the mask entirely pitch black, revealing only a pair of eyes, giving the onlooker the same threat as the Grim Reaper’s gaze.
But at this moment, those eyes showed fear. He hadn’t expected the Flying Immortal Great Emperor to strike directly, and never guessed the power of One Sword Ascends to Immortality would be so terrifying.
But he had no escape now, forced to take the hit.
"Nine Nether River!"
King Chu Jiang’s imperial might surged, holding a pitch-black spear in his hand, his Emperor’s Artifact, equally powerful.
As the spear thrust out, it transformed into a ten-thousand-meter-long black river, pitch black as ink, surging endlessly, yet its waters were bone-chilling, as if the Nether River beneath the Nine Serenities, able to freeze all souls.
In the blink of an eye, it seemed to pass through a thousand and hundred years, the sword light ascended against the heavens, like a transcendental being, slashing at the Nine Nether River. In an instant, infinite brilliance erupted, blinding everyone’s eyes, even Su Han’s Nine Heavens Eye suffered backlash, in extreme pain.
The specifics of this sword were unknown to outsiders, but Su Han heard a shrill scream, coming from King Chu Jiang’s mouth.
Imperial blood scattered, and a blood-stained arm fell from the void.
With one sword, King Chu Jiang lost an arm!
