Chapter 664: Chapter 664 – The Heaven-cleaving Sword
A terrifying aura flowed in the surroundings, shooting up the sky as if it wanted to resound through the heavens and earth.
Chen Heng finally made his move at a critical moment. Although his body was almost shattered and covered in wounds, he survived the attack and was not fatally injured. Even so, he paid a heavy price. His body was heavily wounded, and his supreme Heavenly Venerate’s flesh and blood flew with infinite divine light toward the sky.
“Who is it?!” In the distance, the Supreme Elders of the Hao Hua Sect finally reacted when they saw the figure who suddenly appeared in the sky, feeling shocked and furious.
The scene just now had happened too quickly, and the level involved was too high to the extent that they couldn’t react. It was only at this moment that they finally reacted and were furious.
To them, Chen Heng was the current Hao Hua Sect Leader. He was also the most outstanding powerhouse of the Hao Hua Sect in the past ten thousand years and the number one person in the current generation.
They were shocked and furious, seeing that Chen Heng had already made a breakthrough and could lead the Hao Hua Sect to the peak and achieve great things they had never achieved before but they were attacked by an unknown powerhouse.
However, they quickly sensed the aura dissipating in the air. That aura was constantly dissipating there. It was so terrifying and shocking that it had also reached a supreme Heavenly Venerate level.
‘Was there more than one supreme Heavenly Venerate in the current generation? Was someone lurking in the air a long time ago?’ As they looked at this scene, the surrounding powerhouses thought, shocked and doubtful, and felt the surging and unconcealed aura.
They subconsciously suspected whether the powerhouse who attacked was a hidden heritage of some holy land or an old antique that had been sealed for an unknown era. He attacked at this moment to snuff out the future hope of the Hao Hua Sect and directly beat the newly promoted Hao Hua Sect Leader to death.
This kind of thing was probably very normal. After all, the rise of the Hao Hua Sect would inevitably have a huge impact, especially on other holy lands and sects that were not on good terms with the Hao Hua Sect in the past. Most of them would be greatly affected in the future. As a result, many holy lands might decline, and they did not wish to see such a scene.
Therefore, they would have killed him directly. After all, if they allowed Chen Heng to pa.s.s this hurdle, they might not have the chance to kill it even if they wanted to once he completely recovered.
Many people had thoughts looking at the scene. Some even secretly transmitted their voices, wanting to use their strength to kill the future hope of the Hao Hua Sect directly.
They didn’t attack before this because they couldn’t see any hope. However, if possible, they naturally didn’t mind killing this extremely talented Hao Hua Sect Leader under the current circ.u.mstances, not allowing him to recover. This was a small thought that flashed through many people’s minds.
However, their thoughts quickly changed as a shocking aura appeared in the air. A divine sword pierced through the void and arrived in this world. The entire world shook instantly, and a terrifying aura spread in all directions, causing the land to collapse.
That divine sword seemed to be the center of the world, possessing the mighty power to cleave heaven and earth. It was incomparably terrifying and transcendent.
The holy weapon, the so-called Earth Heavenly Weapon, was like a speck of dust before the divine sword, not comparable to it. Only the Legacy Holy Weapon may be able to compete barely, but it was far inferior.
The vast and divine aura emerged and was controlled by the figure. Everyone was shocked as they recognized the ident.i.ty of the divine weapon before them – the heaven-cleaving sword.
It was a divine weapon that had appeared in the armed tribulation before, one of the divine weapons pa.s.sed down in this world since ancient times. It was vast and infinite, and it possessed supreme killing power.
In the legends of this world, this was the divine weapon used to cleave heaven and earth, symbolizing the beginning of the chaotic world. In the previous war, the virtual shadow of this divine weapon had appeared and almost cleaved Chen Heng apart. Its power was limitless and left a deep impression on everyone present.
At this moment, the heaven-cleaving sword that appeared before the black shadow was not a virtual shadow but a real divine weapon!
Bang!
The void shook as the heaven-splitting sword appeared, and the laws of this world began to manifest. An unseen law was restricting the power of the heaven-splitting sword. Otherwise, with the Sky Heavenly Weapon’s terrifying power, even a single mishap could cause the world to collapse. The result would be terrifying.
This also made everyone understand that the black shadow was not the hidden heritage of any holy land, considering that no holy land had ever obtained an existence like the Sky Heavenly Weapon since ancient times.
This kind of divine weapon had long transcended the mortal world. It would automatically choose its master. So a holy hand would quickly be lost even if it had obtained it by chance. It was impossible to possess it for a long period.
In other words, this high probability was not a holy land but someone who was always lurking. Naturally, many’s expressions changed as they thought of this. However, what they were thinking was no longer important at this time.
After the heaven-cleaving sword descended, that black shadow had already made its move before them. The resplendent sword radiance flickered and rushed forward.
It was vast and incomparably sharp. If one had not faced this sword directly, it was simply impossible to imagine just how terrifying the sword’s power was.
In the previous war, Chen Heng had faced the virtual shadow of the heaven-cleaving sword head-on. However, the virtual shadow that appeared in the previous war was nothing compared to the real body of the heaven-cleaving sword, not even one-tenth of the real body’s power.
To a certain extent, what was happening before their eyes was something many people had not expected. Even Chen Heng himself did not expect that he would have to face the heaven-cleaving sword’s true form the moment he faced its virtual shadow.
This was absurd because the heavenly divine weapon had not appeared for ten thousand years, even in this world. Even if there were some clues, it was similar to the Immortal Sect’s secret realm.
As for the Sky Heavenly Weapon’s true form, no one had witnessed it for many years. And now, the myths of the past had come to reality. Finally, it appeared and was displayed before everyone’s eyes.
Bang!
In mid-air, two world-shocking rays collided and began to crash. Then, the ancient and heaven-cleaving swords collided with each other, erupting with terrifying power. The Dao Principle collided, and two completely different Dao rhymes evolved in mid-air, colliding with each other.
A more grand scene appeared after that. First, Dao diagrams were seen on the heaven-cleaving sword. Then, a scene of primordial chaos appeared. The entire world began to tremble. Finally, an earth-shattering sound erupted, spreading across the sky.
Boom!
The s.p.a.ce in this area was completely locked down. Void appeared, shrouding everything. Everything was locked down under the terrifying phenomenon of the heaven-cleaving sword. There was no way to change this result, no matter what.
Chen Heng’s body continuously retreated and was then sent flying. His body was covered in wounds. Crimson blood was dripping, looking extremely eye-catching.
Even he could not endure the sharpness of the heaven-cleaving sword at this moment. He was coughing out large mouthfuls of blood as if he was about to collapse. However, he was able to endure it and did not die immediately.
The ancient sword in his hand emitted a bright and clear radiance. Although he was at a disadvantage in the battle against the heaven-cleaving sword, he could endure it and did not lose immediately.
“Oh?” The black figure was a little surprised looking at the scene before him. But then, his indifferent eyes started to glow.
The ancient sword managed to hold on under the power of the heaven-splitting sword. So even though it was still at a disadvantage, it was already very impressive.
One had to know that this was not anything else. The heaven-splitting sword was famous for its cultivation method, even among the Sky Heavenly Weapons.
Even the other Sky Heavenly Weapons were at a disadvantage when faced with the so-called heaven-cleaving divine weapon and could not be compared to it in the field of attack.
Even if an ordinary divine weapon were at the Legacy Holy Weapon level that was pa.s.sed down for generations, it was not better against the heaven-cleaving sword. On the contrary, it would be shattered if it withstood it and would be impossible to contend with it truly.
However, the ancient sword forcefully withstood the heaven-cleaving sword. It was truly inconceivable. In reality, Chen Heng himself was the same. He still survived, although it was extremely difficult to encounter the heaven-cleaving sword. From its looks, it seems that he could continue to hold on.
The black figure’s eyes started to fluctuate slightly. He raised the divine weapon and once again increased the strength in his hand. The heaven-cleaving sword rose and then fell heavily. Instantly, the earth shook as if the heavens and earth were being cleaved apart. The entire world trembled as if it was going to collapse and return to the chaos.
The scene was terrifying as if it was about to destroy the world. Yet, under the black shadow’s divine power, the heaven-cleaving sword’s power was more than twice as strong as before.
Even a supreme Heavenly Venerate in his peak state would feel despair under this attack, let alone Chen Heng, who was now extremely weak.
“No!” The people from Hao Hua Sect had their eyes wide open, filled with anger and unwillingness.
They wished to attack. However, they could only retreat helplessly under the aura.
That was because it was a terrifying force that could even kill a supreme Heavenly Venerate easily. So if they, who were mere Heavenly Venerate, dared to get involved, they would only end up dead.
