Chapter 960: Invincible
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
‘Once the Instant Sword is activated, it can break through the limitations of s.p.a.ce-time, exiling the target to other universes. The prowess of this sword attack is astonis.h.i.+ng. However, as it is one that doesn’t kill but instead banishes, Ulpian’s Sudden Inspiration did not sense any threat from it at all.’
At this moment, the Immortality Saint finally understood Fang Xingjian’s battle tactic where each and every part was connected to each other.
Fang Xingjian first pulled Ulpian to the Sun by using illusory arts and then forced the latter to contract his body through the Sun’s environment, taking on the size of an ordinary person.
Then Fang Xingjian fought Ulpian head-on with his Heaven-Connecting Upper Extremity Sword Physique, forcing Ulpian to also fight with his super strong body.
It was true that Fang Xingjian’s Heaven-Connecting Upper Extremity Sword Physique was very strong, but the greatest weakness of this body—which was similar to that of the neutron star—was that it could not move at light speed.
Therefore, Ulpian’s body could be covered up by the Instant Sword and his speed would not make it hard for him to be targeted.
Moreover, the Instant Sword had already transcended s.p.a.ce-time to begin with, coming and going without showing signs of where the destination was.
Additionally, there was no killing intent, so it was impossible to sense the characteristics of threat. This made the sword attack traceless. One would be unable to dodge it and unable to foresee it. Yet when it struck out, it would definitely hit its target.
The Immortality Saint felt his will suddenly tremble a little like a chill had risen in his heart.
‘What a terrifying sword technique. What a terrifying person.
‘The Instant Sword will definitely hit its target. The only way to go up against it is to never expose one’s actual body to Fang Xingjian, to always have most of one’s powers scattered instead of appearing as one form.’
However, thinking of how Fang Xingjian had to rely on the White Emperor Zenith Sword’s energy supply to be able to make such a sword mark, the Immortality Saint heaved a sigh of relief.
‘Thank goodness this sword attack’s depletion is too great. Without the White Emperor Zenith Sword, its threat will plunge by a lot.’
Simultaneously, a white light gradually dissipated from void s.p.a.ce. The White Emperor Zenith Sword contracted in size and gradually returned to Fang Xingjian’s body.
“We’ve finally won. Are we heading back?” The Immortality Saint asked.
However, Fang Xingjian frowned. “Can you sense it…? The Sudden Inspiration’s senses… The future hasn’t been changed. I don’t feel our world’s summoning either.”
The Immortality Saint also felt puzzled, “Could it be that we’ve missed something?”
Just as Fang Xingjian was pondering, two streams of sword light suddenly burst out. Countless cracks radiated out from his body in all directions. The Sword Realm descended, slas.h.i.+ng all things in the world.
At the same time, the Instant Sword was activated again, slas.h.i.+ng out toward the void s.p.a.ce before Fang Xingjian.
However, even though Fang Xingjian had used all of his power to activate Sword Realm in his body, it was still too late.
An arm with an absolutely smooth surface reached out from void s.p.a.ce. The Instant Sword slashed out, and a black sword mark wiped out the palm.
The sword mark that had wiped out the palm was the effect of Fang Xingjian at full power without the help of the White Emperor Zenith Sword.
Yet, the palm soon grew out again, and the remaining part of the arm continued to extend out, followed by the other hand. Both hands seemed to be tearing through void s.p.a.ce, opening up a pa.s.sageway, and then jumping out.
Right now, after unleas.h.i.+ng the Instant Sword at full-power, all the powers in Fang Xingjian’s body were almost depleted. Only the White Emperor Zenith Sword’s powers were starting to be activated once again.
However, this time around, Ulpian did not give him the chance to continue activating the White Emperor Zenith Sword. Instead, he lunged out with a punch, smas.h.i.+ng onto Fang Xingjian’s chest fiercely.
Fang Xingjian, who had depleted all of his powers, was unable to sustain the Heaven-Connecting Upper Extremity Sword Physique at this moment. The punch shattered his physique, revealing the Immortality Saint within him.
Roar!
The Immortality Saint continued to activate the White Emperor Zenith Sword and was about to perform Divine arts. Then he noticed that Ulpian had extended out one of his hands like he was supporting the sky. With this one grab, Ulpian clenched the Immortality Saint into a small white sphere in his hand.
In front of Ulpian, Fang Xingjian slowly rea.s.sembled himself. His conjured physique was flickering, and he seemed to be extremely weak.
The Immortality Saint looked at Ulpian, stunned. “You… have become stronger…”
Sensing the power pressing down on him, the Immortality Saint was unable to summon the power to perform his Divine art. It was as if Ulpian’s hand was another universe and the Immortality Saint could not even extend his martial will out.
Right now, Ulpian seemed to have experienced a complete turnover. Each and every one of his movements seemed to bring about the impression that he was going to create and destroy the world, recreating the human world.
With one hand, Ulpian defeated the Immortality Saint and suppressed the White Emperor Zenith Sword.
However, there was still only indifference in Ulpian’s eyes. He stood quietly in void s.p.a.ce, looking at Fang Xingjian like he was looking at an ant.
“I still have to thank you this time around. The experience beyond s.p.a.ce-time has let me learned a lot.
“There’s no concept of s.p.a.ce and time there, and I have no idea how long I stayed there either. It felt so long as if it had been an eternity.”
Fang Xingjian’s countenance turned extremely grim. Right now, Ulpian gave him a bone-chilling feeling.
His Sudden Inspiration’s alarms erupted explosively. It was as if a sound that was at several hundred decibels had exploded in his mind.
Fang Xingjian had never sensed such a great danger before. The feeling of threat Ulpian gave him was even stronger than all the senses of threat felt by all the living creatures that existed from the time of his birth added together and then squared off.
He asked, “You’re able to traverse through parallel worlds now?”
“That’s right,” Ulpian said calmly. “I’ve already grasped the power to traverse universes now. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to possess this power. Not only will I be able to save the Earth in this universe, but I’ll also save all the parallel universes, all the Earths, and all of mankind.”
Hearing Ulpian’s words, the Immortality Saint’s eyes revealed an intense feeling of despair.
Ulpian was already unbelievably strong to begin with. Even with the Immortality Saintand Fang Xingjian together, they had no hope of winning the fight head-on. They did not have the power to wipe out the other party. In the end, they had relied on Fang Xingjian’s Instant Sword to expel Ulpian out of this universe.
However, there was no way the Immortality Saint would have expected that even after Ulpian was exiled from this universe and beyond s.p.a.ce-time, he would still be able to find his way back. What kind of terrifying will was his?
For him to be able to traverse different parallel universes… Did this not mean that he could arrive in different pasts and futures? The Immortality Saint could not imagine just how strong was a person like this.
Ulpian raised his head and brushed his indifferent gaze across void s.p.a.ce like he was looking at the many different worlds.
“The current me is able to see many worlds before me. My eyes can see the past and view the future.
“There are countless lines and points that keep on changing. With each action and each change, there are countless worlds disappearing and countless worlds being born.
“I can see the end of the universe and witness the birth of every world.
“There wasnt a moment in the past when I could have such a clear grasp of the present and predict the future.
“The current me is invincible.”
However, at the sight of this, Fang Xingjian suddenly smiled.
“No, Ulpian.
“Have you not realized it yet? The current you has already lost.”
