"You shouldn’t have betrayed the countless lives of the Eastern Continent!"
Jiang Chen’s icy voice exploded in Song Tiancheng’s mind.
He seized Song Tiancheng’s body and roared, "Devour!"
RUMBLE!
Crimson Essence Blood and a resplendent Martial Soul were all devoured by Jiang Chen. The Essence Blood and True Essence from an Early Stage of the Emperor Realm master became fuel to raise Jiang Chen’s cultivation. However, he had already reached the Middle Stage of the Human Emperor Realm Ninth Stage, so advancing further was not so easy.
The God-slaying Sword, on the other hand, advanced once more after successively devouring the Saint Tier Martial Souls of two Emperor Realm masters.
It advanced again!
The God-slaying Sword pulsed with light, having reached the Fifth Grade of the Saint Tier!
A Fifth Grade Saint Tier Martial Soul.
In the entire history of the Eastern Continent, it ranked among the top ten!
"ROAR!"
Jiang Chen roared at the sky, his eyes cold, and shattered Song Tiancheng’s corpse.
Terrifying Sword Qi erupted from his body.
It surged in all directions, as if to sunder the heavens and shatter the earth!
Wei Lihuang stared at Jiang Chen, his expression a mixture of shock and doubt. A moment later, it transformed into excitement. "Good lad! You truly are the genius the Master of the Pavilion values so highly. To think your strength is this incredible!"
"Senior, help me slay the Sword Emperor!" Jiang Chen said, looking at Wei Lihuang.
Wei Lihuang nodded, his reply concise. "Alright!"
The two of them joined forces and charged toward the Sword Emperor.
Among the older generation of Emperor Realm masters, the Sword Emperor’s cultivation was the weakest.
He was currently locked in a dead-even battle with the Demon Emperor.
With his Sword Heart, the Sword Emperor’s combat prowess in the Sword Dao was terrifying, allowing him to fight beyond his own realm.
He brandished a tyrannical Sword Technique, unleashing a heart-pounding wave of death.
"Devouring the World!"
The Demon Emperor roared. A pitch-black cloud of Demonic Qi shrouded the Celestial Vault as a rolling Demon Sound echoed between heaven and earth.
The wind howled and the clouds churned. In the Celestial Vault, the demonic cloud, which spanned hundreds of miles, writhed violently before transforming into a monstrous demonic phantom. This phantom blotted out the sky, its fists as black as ink, radiating a dark light. It threw a punch that seemed powerful enough to crush the very world.
The Sword Emperor snorted coldly and advanced with his sword. "Ten Thousand Beasts Sword Technique!"
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
The Sword Emperor swept his golden blade forward, unleashing a force akin to Mountain Collapse and Earth Split, causing the entire land to tremble.
Countless peerless Sword Auras all transformed into rampaging giant beasts.
Each giant beast was incomparably tyrannical!
They bared their fangs.
And charged toward the enormous demonic phantom.
BOOM!
Peerless sword light and black Demonic Qi continuously exploded between heaven and earth. The Sword Emperor roared, "Beast King Sword!"
ROAR!
A furious roar like that of an Ancient Fierce Beast shook the air.
Instantly,
The innumerable Sword Qi Giant Beasts fused into an enormous Magic Beast a thousand zhang tall. It had four arms, with which it seized the giant demonic phantom and viciously tore it apart.
The demonic phantom was ripped to shreds.
Boundless Sword Qi simultaneously gathered from all directions, forming a ten-thousand-zhang Sword Aura that slashed down toward the Demon Emperor with a deafening BOOM.
BOOM!
The Demonic Qi protecting the Demon Emperor was easily sliced apart, and the Sword Qi, pulsing with golden light, struck him heavily. It carved a gruesome wound into his body. Blood gushed out as the Demon Emperor was sent flying backward.
Blood spewed from his seven orifices.
The Sword Emperor laughed heartily. "Demon Emperor, die!"
SWOOSH!
The Sword Emperor rode his sword in pursuit. His Sword Heart made his speed even faster. In the blink of an eye, he had already caught up to the Demon Emperor. He suddenly thrust out his golden longsword, which radiated a golden light, like a God-slaying Sword!
The Demon Emperor endured the intense pain, spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, and formed a blood mist in front of him.
"Demon Shadow Escape!"
The bloody light enveloped the Demon Emperor’s body, transforming into a crimson streak that shot across the horizon, allowing him to evade the attack.
At the same time...
The incomparably sharp sword strike landed where he had just been.
RUMBLE...
The golden sword light stretched for tens of thousands of zhang, slashing down upon the earth as easily as a sharp Battle Blade cutting through tofu.
The ground shook violently, as if it were being torn apart by living hands.
A sword scar hundreds of miles long appeared upon the Vast Land, like a gigantic wound that could not be healed!
"Demon Emperor, you will surely die today!" Enveloped in a swath of golden light, the Sword Emperor gave chase to the Demon Emperor.
"If you want to kill the Demon Emperor, you’ll have to get through me first!"
SWISH! SWISH! Two figures tore through the air and blocked the Sword Emperor’s path.
It was none other than Jiang Chen and Wei Lihuang.
The two stood side-by-side, staring at the Sword Emperor.
The Sword Emperor’s pupils constricted slightly. He stared at Jiang Chen and his companion, a cold smile forming on his lips. "You think the two of you can stop me?"
He was at the Middle Stage of the Emperor Realm!
Furthermore, he had obtained the inheritance of a Mystic Sect Demigod, which had elevated his comprehension of the Emperor Realm to a whole new level. That was how he had been able to defeat the Demon Emperor.
Seeing Jiang Chen and Wei Lihuang appear before him now, he couldn’t help but let out a contemptuous sneer. His gaze toward Jiang Chen was filled with icy killing intent. "Jiang Chen, back on the Mystic Sect’s Ninth Stage, you actually dared to strike at me. Today, I will take the head from your shoulders with the sword in my hand!"
"If you hadn’t attacked me first that day, why would I have fought back? Sword Emperor, your wickedness will be your undoing. You will not escape death today!"
Jiang Chen snorted coldly, his vital energy flaring to its peak. He looked to Wei Lihuang at his side. "Master Wei, take the Demon Emperor and tend to his wounds."
"Can you handle him alone?" Wei Lihuang asked, stunned, his voice grave.
Jiang Chen glanced at the Sword Emperor and revealed a confident smile. "Don’t worry. Slaying him will be as easy as slaughtering a dog!"
"Alright!"
After a moment’s hesitation, Wei Lihuang immediately flew toward the Demon Emperor to help him heal.
The Sword Emperor wore a confident expression, waiting for Wei Lihuang to leave before he laughed and said, "Are you arranging your final affairs? Since you’re all set, you can obediently accept your death!"
"You think you can kill me? You’re dreaming!"
The smile vanished from Jiang Chen’s face as a glint of golden light flashed in his eyes. "Divine Thought Shock!"
SWOOSH!
A sea of Divine Thought transformed into a Divine Thought Blade and rushed toward the Sword Emperor.
HUMMM!
The Sword Emperor’s body trembled slightly, and the Divine Thought was destroyed. His face filled with disdain. "I have condensed a Sword Heart. My will is incomparably strong. How could it possibly be shaken by you?"
"Is that so? Then try and take this!"
Jiang Chen’s expression was impassive as he activated the God Slaying Sword.
The tip of the God-slaying Sword pulsed with power.
Jiang Chen sacrificed fifty years of his lifespan to unleash an invisible sword.
The Sword Emperor’s expression changed drastically. He raised his golden longsword to block. With a muffled BOOM, his face contorted and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Shock filled his eyes. "What kind of attack is this? How can it ignore my defenses?"
"The move that will kill you!"
Jiang Chen snorted coldly and once again activated the God Slaying Sword.
Facing the Sword Emperor, who was at the Middle Stage of the Emperor Realm, Jiang Chen didn’t dare to be careless. He unleashed three consecutive blasts from the God Slaying Sword. A hint of white appeared at the tips of his hair. It was only because Jiang Chen had advanced to the Human Emperor Realm and his lifespan had increased dramatically that he dared to use the God Slaying Sword so recklessly.
The three successive sword strikes left the Sword Emperor in a sorry state.
He was absolutely furious.
The God Slaying Sword was formless and colorless, making it impossible to defend against. He felt like he was punching cotton.
After being struck by the God Slaying Sword four times, the Sword Emperor completely lost his temper. "Jiang Chen, I’m going to destroy you!"
BOOM!
His entire being merged with his golden longsword, slashing toward Jiang Chen. But Jiang Chen remained unhurried, pointing his sword forward. "Eternal Rush!"
