Nine Realms Sword Emperor

"This man’s methods are far more formidable than we imagined."

Seeing that the Saint Spring Old Ancestor had already been subjugated, quite a few people were taken aback.

Just now, the Saint Spring Old Ancestor being suppressed had all happened right under their eyes, and in this brief span of time, the Saint Spring Old Ancestor had already been subdued by Chu Fengmian; this left them utterly shocked.

To suppress an Immortal General does not mean one can subdue an Immortal General. One must know that a strong Immortal General has gone through countless life-and-death battles, obtained innumerable fortuitous encounters, and will certainly have several trump cards at hand; to truly subdue such a person is almost incomparably difficult.

Even though the Saint Spring Old Ancestor had already been suppressed by Chu Fengmian, in their view, if Chu Fengmian wanted to subdue the Saint Spring Old Ancestor, it would still require a round of twists and turns.

Yet now the Saint Spring Old Ancestor was sitting in the Cangsheng Seal, willingly consuming his own immortal power to maintain the power of the Cangsheng Seal. This was practically an act of self-sacrifice; only if the Saint Spring Old Ancestor had already been subdued by Chu Fengmian could such a situation occur.

Silently and without a sound, Chu Fengmian had already subdued the Saint Spring Old Ancestor; this exceeded the imagination of the others. Only now did they realize that from the very beginning, they had somewhat underestimated Chu Fengmian.

Since Chu Fengmian dared to take out the Upper Sword Command Map, naturally he was not afraid of anyone trying to snatch it.

"This Holy Land is preserved, but the power of this Immortal Artifact is spent entirely on guarding the Holy Land. With this person having lost the strength of this Immortal Artifact, I’m afraid it’s even more impossible for him to contend against Bai Shaojun."

"Leaving the Holy Land behind while he himself falls is nothing but drawing water with a bamboo basket—an utter futility, without any meaning."

Outside the Sword Origin Realm, an elder let out a cold laugh and said.

This elder was a close friend of the Saint Spring Old Ancestor. Seeing the Saint Spring Old Ancestor being suppressed by Chu Fengmian like this, his expression grew extremely ugly. His gaze fell upon Chu Fengmian, filled entirely with resentment.

"Indeed, still maintaining the power to guard the Holy Land at this moment—this person is somewhat overconfident."

The few experts beside him also agreed with this elder’s words.

They could all see that the Cangsheng Seal was likewise an extremely fearsome Immortal Artifact. If wielded in Chu Fengmian’s hand, it could also unleash tremendous Wei, becoming a great aid to Chu Fengmian.

That Chu Fengmian could easily suppress the Saint Spring Old Ancestor, apart from the assistance of the Sword Origin Realm’s Origin Power, the Cangsheng Seal had also played an enormous role.

Yet now Chu Fengmian refused to use the Cangsheng Seal to confront Bai Shaojun, and instead used the Cangsheng Seal to guard the Sword Origin Realm. In the eyes of the crowd, Chu Fengmian was indeed far too overconfident.

It was equivalent to Chu Fengmian being deprived of the assistance of an Immortal Artifact for no good reason in this battle.

"Just watch—this brat is doomed to die!"

The elder who had just mocked him again spoke out.

All gazes fell upon the center where those two Sword Edges collided.

Rumble!

At the very moment those two Sword Edges collided, the Sword Intent erupting from Chu Fengmian’s body shot straight into the heavens. This Sword Intent was so mighty it shrouded the entire Sword Origin Realm.

An entire World was enveloped by this Sword Intent. The Sword Intent’s strength was enough to affect a minor World and even surpass eternity—this Sword Intent, eternal and unchanging!

Everyone felt that this Sword Intent would not fade even ten million years from now, and would continue to exist within the Sword Origin Realm.

This kind of Sword Intent was enough to leave countless Sword Dao experts utterly shaken.

Even they had never seen such an overwhelming Sword Intent; the ferocity of this Sword Intent exceeded their imagination.

"Sword Dao Peak! This is Sword Intent of the Peak Sword God Realm! How is this possible?"

Some Sword Dao experts were stunned the instant they saw this Sword Intent, speaking in a daze, shaken to the extreme, blinking again and again as they repeatedly confirmed this Sword Intent.

Yet no matter how many times they confirmed, this Sword Intent was still exploding from Chu Fengmian’s body.

"This is Sword Intent infinitely close to the Sword Dao Origin! It’s said this is the level of the Sword Dao Master!"

"How is that possible? This person is the Sword Dao Master? Wasn’t the Sword Dao Master already dead?"

"No, absolutely impossible that he is the Sword Dao Master. If he were the Sword Dao Master, he could kill Bai Shaojun in the blink of an eye. The Sword Dao Master is an existence surpassing the Immortal Emperor—a truly invincible existence!"

"But this Sword Intent?"

"Extremely likely that this person has inherited the Sword Dao Master’s Inheritance and likewise inherited a portion of the Sword Dao Master’s Sword Intent. The Sword Dao Master is an invincible existence surpassing the Immortal Emperor; his Sword Intent will endure for eternity and never be extinguished!"

An elder speculated aloud.

"The Sword Dao Master’s Sword Intent! Invincible Sword Intent!"

"No wonder this person is so confident—he still had such a trump card."

The elder’s speculation struck many as correct. In their view, such a Sword Intent absolutely could not belong to Chu Fengmian himself.

The Sword Dao Sect claimed to have inherited the Sword Dao Master’s Inheritance, so it was reasonable for Chu Fengmian to obtain the Sword Dao Master’s Sword Intent.

"Buzz!"

Just as the crowd was still marveling and speculating, the clash of Sword Edges had already yielded its outcome.

Sword Intent resounded long!

All the Sword Intent erupting behind Chu Fengmian ultimately merged into his Sword Edge. With a thunderous slash of a single sword, that strike carried no flourish, no fanciful swordsmanship—merely pure swordsmanship—yet the profundity within surpassed Immortal Techniques and swordsmanship!

With just this sword, he collided in midair with the Bai Shaojun who had transformed into Sword Control itself. Suddenly, a figure flew out; at the moment that figure was sent flying, he spat blood, blasted away in this collision.

That figure was precisely Bai Shaojun. Now he was knocked flying, blood spurting incessantly from his mouth; the clash of this single sword directly left him gravely wounded.

"Even with his strongest sword while transformed into Sword Control, Bai Shaojun still lost."

Seeing this result, the crowd outside the Sword Origin Realm was not particularly surprised.

From the instant that terrifying Sword Intent rose behind Chu Fengmian, they had already anticipated this outcome. No matter how powerful Bai Shaojun’s strength was, before such Sword Intent he was still incapable of withstanding a single blow.

If Bai Shaojun were not a Sword Cultivator, then perhaps there would still be some suspense in this battle.

But Bai Shaojun was exactly a Sword Cultivator. In a duel of Sword Cultivators, Sword Dao reigns supreme! Chu Fengmian’s strike contained Invincible Sword Intent; the result of this battle held no surprise whatsoever.

Bai Shaojun plummeted outside the Yunyu Heavenly Palace, and the White Edge Sword was also knocked flying.

"This sword’s not bad. It’s mine now!"

Chu Fengmian cast a glance at the White Edge Sword, waved his palm, and instantly it turned into a formless giant hand that grabbed forward. The White Edge Sword fell into Chu Fengmian’s palm, still erupting with Sword Edge, trying to escape from Chu Fengmian’s grasp.

"Still trying to run?"

Chu Fengmian let out a cold laugh, and a supreme Sword Intent descended to envelop it. The power of the White Edge Sword was firmly suppressed, and at the same time, Chu Fengmian stirred his mind, activating the Ancient Emperor’s Weapon Stealing Technique.

The imprint of Bai Shaojun upon the White Edge Sword was instantly dissolved.
