Chapter 2699: The Almighty Divine Sword
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Great Skylords Black and White Almighty from Heaven Court in the Heaven Realm were the guardians of the Heavenly Emperor. Rumor had it that they had been to the fabled Boundless Sea before, which was said to be at the very ends of the heavens.
After the fall of the Heavenly Emperor, they remained as aides to the princess. Over the years, their names had been heard of less and less with the gradual disappearance of the Heaven Realm. It became nearly impossible for those outside the Heaven Realm to meet them, but it no less diminished how unimaginably powerful they were.
It was even possible that the current cultivators did not know a single thing about them.
“Both the Great Skylords Black and White Almighty are here. It will not be easy for Divine Prefecture’s Donghuang Imperial Palace to seize the Old Heaven Court Relics,” Supreme Swordlord uttered in a low voice from within the crowd of onlookers. Ye Futian looked ahead of him and was moved as well.
At this moment, those who were considered strong warriors from the seven realms were all here.
Before this, he had seen the Four Heavenly Kings from Heaven Court, and now he could add the Nine Great Lords and Great Skylords Black and White Almighty to the list.
All the strongest from the Heaven Realm should have made their appearance already, while for the Divine Prefecture, there were still some that had not. They were all beside Xia Qingyuan, and there was quite a number they had not met before.
It was anyone’s guess how this battle over the Old Heaven Court Relics would turn out.
Fang Ru looked toward Black Almighty and greeted, “I have heard of you, sir, for a long time. I’m glad to finally have the chance to meet you in person.”
Fang Ru himself had been in cultivation for numerous years, but compared to the Great Skylords Black and White Almighty, he was still considered amateurish. Both of them had been famous much earlier on.
“Let’s start,” Black Almighty stated coldly without a shred of emotion.
Fang Ru nodded, and a dazzling divine light surrounded him all at once. With his body as the focal point, the great divine light turned into a dazzling image of picturesque mountains and rivers. It was dazzling and like a small world on its own.
This strange phenomenon also produced an astounding aura that attracted the Will of the Great Way to flow into the small world from all quarters of heaven and earth. Bolts of divine light flashed and shot through the clouds, blanketing the entire vast s.p.a.ce.
Black Almighty looked down upon the lower skies below him, and using his will, caused a frightening black Storm of Destruction to appear above the skies. In an instant, the heavens and earth turned dark, and the skies looked as if they had been torn into two from the center. The darkness spread out to all corners and fully enveloped Black Almighty in it as its extent grew larger. A potent strand of Will of Destruction permeated from within the darkness and left the cultivators below feeling extremely oppressed.
Black Almighty flew up toward the sky dome. The torn sky seemed to stay permanently above his head. The area permeated by the Will of Destruction was increasing, and it felt as if it was going to swallow everything up. The reason for Black Almighty going up to the upper skies was probably also to prevent the battle from affecting the surroundings.
Fang Ru too flew up toward the clouds, and they both transformed into two bolts of light. The onlookers raised their heads to look up at the upper skies above and saw two very different types of powers. The might of both powers greatly surpa.s.sed the understanding of many of the cultivators.
Furthermore, they did not use imperial arms but fought using their innate abilities.
Cras.h.!.+ The flashes of divine light within the picturesque small world shot toward the sky and transformed into numerous rays of light. The light rays tried to pierce through the darkened sky dome, but Black Almighty’s gaze never wavered. With a lowering of his head and a look, numerous catastrophic lights of destruction started to rain upon the darkened world and collided with the divine lights shooting upward.
Immediately the two beams of light started clas.h.i.+ng above the skies, both clear and distinct. Every collision of the lights produced horrific and destructive energy that spread out to the surrounding areas. Even though the distance was far, the cultivators in the lower skies could still feel that energy, and many of their hearts started to race.
The picturesque world of mountains and rivers intensely absorbed the Will of the Great Way from the heavens and earth. Fang Ru stretched out his hand and pointed his index finger. At once, an extremely dazzling divine light appeared within its tip.
“Qiankun Finger!”
The onlookers raised their heads to the upper skies and saw Fang Ru aiming Qiankun Finger at the sky. A beam of unbelievably bright divine light burst forth from the picturesque world and penetrated the void, heading to the opposite side.
Simultaneously, the darkened world of destruction above Black Almighty’s head brought forth a black divine sword. At the back of the sword was a horrifying black whirlpool. The patch of sky there seemed to have been torn apart.
Almighty Divine Sword! Supreme Swordlord thought to himself. He wondered how his Supreme Swordsmans.h.i.+p would fare in a match-up.
Almighty Divine Sword was the zenith of the Great Way, and it was also known as Black Almighty Divine Sword. It contained immeasurable destructive powers, and his Supreme Swordsmans.h.i.+p was the same.
There was probably no force within the Great Way that could compete with it, and it was as if it were an apocalyptic divine sword.
Almighty Divine Sword and Qiankun Finger clashed head to head above the skies, and at that instance, the Storm of Destruction swept through and destroyed all the powers of the Great Way in the upper skies. That area seemed to be on the verge of vanis.h.i.+ng, and the Storm of Destruction swept into the lower skies, prompting all the cultivators to release divine lights.
The Storm caused the weaker cultivators to be tossed out and even completely leveled the area below the sky stairwell. It was beyond terrifying.
One could only imagine the magnitude of destruction they would have caused if they had been battling it out in the lower skies instead.
Boom! Another suffocating storm was induced, and an even more horrifying aura burst out above the skies. Within that dark aura, countless Almighty Divine Swords were brought forth, and all of them came executing down at the same time. A shocked Fang Ru stretched out both hands and frantically pointed Qiankun Finger toward the top of the Void.
In the lower skies, all the cultivators continued looking up at the battle in the skies above, even if they were within the Storm of Destruction. The picturesque world on Fang Ru seemed to have been closed up, but the Almighty Divine Swords continued their a.s.sault and caused the small world to collapse. Fang Ru’s body fell from the Void. The Black Almighty Divine Sword still did not cease attacking, and at last, many cracks surfaced within the picturesque world, and it crumbled into pieces accompanied by a terrifying sound. Fang Ru let out a groan, and his body was tossed back to the lower skies.
“One of the strongest cultivators of the Divine Prefecture, Fang Ru, has been defeated.” The mult.i.tudes’ heartbeat quickened. Fang Ru’s body landed on the ground, and blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. Above him, Black Almighty stopped his a.s.sault, but the dark Storm of Destruction remained in place with numerous Swords suspended in the air. It was as if they were preparing to launch an attack anytime an order came again.
The cultivators could see that this was not a close fight, nor was it a debatable defeat. Fang Ru had been overpowered in this direct face-off; there was a wide gap between Black Almighty’s powers and his.
Ye Futian also became anxious after witnessing the battle. He had fought against Fang Ru before. He had to use the Will of Ziwei during the battle against this person who was on the DemiG.o.d List.
The Fang Ru at that time could be said to be invisible, yet today, here he was, overpowered and easily defeated.
“The Almighty Divine Swordsmans.h.i.+p lives up to its name. I, Fang Ru, humbly concede defeat,” Fang Ru said to Supreme Lord Black Almighty, who was in the Void. He was defeated, and one should admit it when one was beaten.
Black Almighty made no reply, and his jet-black eyes scanned through the cultivators in the skies below.
The Old Heaven Court belonged only to the Heaven Realm, and no one else ought to lay a finger on it.
The strongmen from the Heaven Realm standing on the sky stairwell were very quiet and did not display any traces of joy at having won this round of battle. Their calmness was somewhat unnerving.
The Heaven Realm had been keeping a low profile and quietly enduring things all these years, but the appearance of the divine relics meant that they had to come out to get what belonged to them.
In this present day, the world once again witnessed the real power of the Heaven Realm.
A long time ago, the Heavenly Emperor had ruled the Heaven Realm, and no one had dared to go against them. Now, the name of Heaven Realm was gradually forgotten by people.
The battle had allowed the cultivators to witness the power of the Heaven Realm and regain their place in the world. From now on, no one dared to underestimate the Heaven Realm.
Who could go up against the two Guardian Lords of the Heaven Realm, Great Skylords Black and White Almighty, and Donghuang Imperial Palace of Divine Prefecture?
Many looked to the side of Donghuang Diyuan. Fang Ru was not the strongest in Donghuang Imperial Palace.
However, before any strongmen could step out from Donghuang Diyuan’s side, a cultivator had already stepped out from the crowd on the other side.
The cultivators turned to look at the person who stepped out and were immediately astonished.
He was Di Hao from the Human Realm, the eldest disciple of the human’s ancestor.
There was not one person who did not know Di Hao in the Human Realm. He was of extraordinary birth, having been born to an Ancient Divine Clan. He was also the descendent of an exceedingly powerful great emperor and the first disciple of the Human Realm. As one of the first few names on the DemiG.o.d List, people were looking forward to see how strong he was.
Did Di Hao’s stepping out mean he wanted a go against Black Almighty?
“Great Skylord lives up to his name, and is worthy of being the Guardian Lords of the Heaven Realm. I, Di Hao, would like to have a chance to experience the Great Skylord’s strength personally..” Di Hao looked toward Black Almighty in the Void. “Please grant me the chance!”
