Chapter 791: Entering the Rankings
Translator: jinzeffect
“Sure.” Sword Emperor Mo Hen nodded.
Originally, he wasn’t planning to fight with Li Fuchen, but since Li Fuchen challenged him, he was naturally not going to refuse.
As the Sword Emperor, how could he avoid a fight?
“This fellow!” The Sword Sovereign took a deep glance at Li Fuchen.
How could he not see that Li Fuchen wasn’t challenging the Sword Emperor to defeat the Sword Emperor. Li Fuchen merely wanted to witness the Sword Emperor’s solipsism sword dao.
It also meant that Li Fuchen didn’t even treat the Sword Sovereign and the Sword Emperor as formidable rivals.
This was the reason why the Sword Sovereign was shocked.
“However, I am not the Sword Emperor. I have never seen the Sword Emperor’s true strength either.” The Sword Sovereign said to himself.
His sovereign sword dao was successful because of the Sword Emperor and was also a failure because of the Sword Emperor.
It was successful because with the Sword Emperor at the front, the Sword Sovereign was able to maintain his high level of fighting spirit. Allowing him to overcome obstacles and improve rapidly. Without the Sword Emperor, the Sword Sovereign might not be able to improve so quickly.
As for being a failure because of the Sword Emperor, it was because of the special trait of the sovereign sword dao. Only after reaching the apex, the sovereign sword dao would then be able to exhibit its true strength.
It was the same reasoning as to how a commoner would never understand the mental state of a sovereign.
The others were already dumbfounded. It was already an anomaly for Li Fuchen to defeat the Sword Sovereign. Defeating the Emotionless Sword Emperor had a totally different meaning as to defeat the Sword Sovereign. By defeating the Emotionless Sword Emperor, it meant that Li Fuchen had the strength of an absolute sword emperor. But by defeating the Sword Sovereign, Li Fuchen had replaced the Sword Sovereign and became the sword dao circle’s new symbol. Now that Li Fuchen wanted to continue challenging the Sword Emperor, everyone was stunned for a moment.
Of course, Song Shanhe, Liu Huo, and the others didn’t think that Li Fuchen could defeat the Sword Emperor.
The Sword Emperor was 3rd ranked on the Great Emperor Rankings. He was the only person to retreat unscathed after fighting the Heaven Emperor. No matter how strong Li Fuchen was, it was very hard to defeat the Sword Emperor. The chances of being equally matched was already very slim.
On the s.p.a.cious land, the Sword Emperor stood with hands behind his back and had indifferent eyes.
On the opposite side, Li Fuchen also had an indifferent expression.
There wasn’t any tensed up feeling between the two. However, in the eyes of the spectators, there was a suffocating aura that was pervading the air.
“They are of the same kind!” The Heart Sword Sovereign had a comprehension.
This duo had too much resemblance to each other in their aura. They were both unfathomable and indifferent. It felt as though nothing in the world could make them panic.
Cling!
Without any warning signs, the duo clashed.
It was so sudden that even the Sword Sovereign’s eyes widened.
The Sword Emperor didn’t draw his sword. He raised his index and middle fingers to burst out a sword radiance. It was like a formless sword that clashed with Li Fuchen’s sword.
“This is the solipsism sword dao?”
Li Fuchen was rather surprised that he couldn’t sever the Sword Emperor’s sword qi.
The Sword Emperor’s sword qi was tougher than Li Fuchen’s expectation. It was actually ten times tougher than a heaven cla.s.s mid-tier artifact sword.
Clang Clang Clang Clang…
There was a burst of sparks. The clash between the duo was simple and straightforward, but each move and swing had astonishing power. The concentration of strength was already at the extremity.
The solipsism sword dao was particular about the Union of Man and Sword. The man was the sword and the sword was the man. The Sword Emperor had definitely utilized the solipsism sword dao to the extremity. It was merely a sword qi, but in the Sword Emperor’s hand, this sword of qi was already indestructible.
“Break!”
After turning the sword into thread, Li Fuchen severed the Sword Emperor’s sword qi.
The sword thread was a sword dao attack that had very powerful slicing power. It could even defeat body refinement martial artists. The Sword Emperor’s sword qi was only able to withstand Li Fuchen’s regular attack. It still wasn’t possible to defeat against the Flowing Merciless Edge.
Clang!
A streak suddenly extended out. The Sword Emperor drew his sword and it was a silverish black sword. Once the sword was out of the sheathe, there was a burst of sword radiance that instantly broke the sword thread.
After a few dozen moves, Li Fuchen had already experienced the true meaning of the solipsism sword dao.
The solipsism sword dao had a reserved sword intent that wouldn’t leak out. Due to it being very reserved, it gave off great power when executing moves. In Li Fuchen’s opinion, the Sword Emperor’s solipsism sword dao contained the sword thread state, but wasn’t restricted to only the sword thread state.
The Sword Emperor’s opponent was Li Fuchen. If it was anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to block the Sword Emperor’s sword, not even the Sword Sovereign.
It was a pity that Li Fuchen’s sword dao level was no longer the same as before. He might not be comparable to the Sword Emperor during the Swordsmen Tournament, but after exiting the Sword World, Li Fuchen’s sword dao level was already at a dreadful level. The Primary Extreme Sword Art had already reached the extremity and it was something that many saints couldn’t achieve.
“Sword Emperor, receive a sword move from me.”
Li Fuchen blasted the Blade of Void at the Sword Emperor.
“Sole Supremacy.”
When facing Li Fuchen’s Void Heaven Sword Art, the Sword Emperor used his kill move.
Boom!
Above the garden, there was a ripple that spread out into the depths of the void.
The Sword Emperor was superior to the Sword Sovereign. His sword dao level was higher and he even condensed the sword heart.
If the Sword Emperor didn’t condense the sword heart, a casual move from Li Fuchen could defeat the Sword Emperor.
The duo didn’t know that the battle between them was going to awaken a cardinal artifact from the depths of the void.
This cardinal artifact was a heavenly book and it was densely packed with words. On the top of it were three golden words, ‘Great Emperor Rankings’. There was then a list of names like the Heaven Emperor, Sword Emperor, and others. If one took a closer look, it would happen to be 10,000 names. The lower the rankings, the smaller the name. Without looking closely, it was basically unreadable.
The qi presence caused by the battle had already gone beyond a limit and awakened the Saint Spirit Great Emperor Rankings in advance by half a year.
The Great Emperor Rankings was emitting a radiant golden light and the rankings were starting to change.
“Everyone, look! The Great Emperor Rankings is awakening!”
“That isn’t right. According to the time frame, there should still be half a year before it awakens.”
“Could there be any unforeseen event?”
The Great Emperor Rankings was emerging from the void. Those individuals who reached the Law Phase Realm could lift their heads and see it. The amazing thing was the clarity of the Great Emperor Rankings no matter how far anyone was standing. It felt as though the Great Emperor Rankings was just above their heads.
Everyone inside the garden of the Swordsmen Guild headquarters could see the Great Emperor Rankings too.
The Heart Sword Sovereign frowned. He looked at Li Fuchen and the Sword Emperor who were battling before he took a glance at the Great Emperor Rankings. While he was contemplating, he had a shock.
He reckoned that the Great Emperor Rankings was awakened by Li Fuchen and the Sword Emperor.
If the Great Emperor Rankings was awakened, it meant that the battle had reached a horrifying level among the Law Phase Realm.
There wasn’t a need for any reminder. Once the Law Phase Realm emperors saw the Great Emperor Rankings, they released their own qi presences, hoping to enter the rankings. Those that were already in the rankings would hope that they could increase their rankings.
Tss Tss Tss…
The rankings would change countless times with each breath. After all, there were too many people releasing their qi presences at this moment.
Inside the list, Li Jianxin, Tang Xing, Murong Youyu, Yuwen Haojie and the others were rising rapidly in the rankings.
Especially Li Jianxin who started from 10,000th rank and climbed all the way to 10th rank. From the looks of it, he was going to continue climbing.
The Emotionless Sword Emperor had also entered the top 10 for the first time. The Heart Sword Sovereign was lacking a little and was ranked 13th. The Sword Sovereign advanced by one rank and was now 6th rank.
Of course, the current rankings weren’t firm yet. It would only be fixed once the Great Emperor Rankings stop absorbing qi presences.
