Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Zhao Fu controlled the Six Paths Demon Images to ferociously attack Bai Haoran. Even though these Six Paths Demon Images were only ten meters tall, their attacks were quite powerful.
The World Domain unleashed by Bai Haoran was almost instantly destroyed by the Six Paths Demon Images.
Seeing this, everyone could not help but inwardly sigh; it seemed that Bai Haoran was going to lose. Perhaps there was no one in the Ancient Stem Domain who was a match for this Emperor.
However, losing to such a powerful Emperor was nothing shameful, and those who lost could take pride in their loss. Now, everyone could not help but feel that Zhao Fu was indeed someone who existed above the Ancient Stem Rankings.
Boom!
The Animal Demon Image blasted open Bai Haoran’s World Domain with a punch containing terrifying power, and the other Demon Images started to attack Bai Haoran. In the end, Bai Haoran was defeated without being able to put up much of a fight.
Everyone was not too surprised; they had long since expected this.
Some people suddenly thought of one person in the Ancient Stem Domain who could contend with this Emperor, who was Bai Shengtian, the person who had been taken as an apprentice by a higher-being. He definitely would not be any weaker than this Emperor; he was a one in a thousand years genius, or else he would not have been chosen by a higher-being.
Moreover, after being taken as a disciple by a higher-being, his status would not be inferior to this Emperor, and he would not have to fear an Empire.
Everyone now wanted to see a battle between those two people; this would be the most legendary battle in the Ancient Stem Domain. After all, both people’s statuses, apt.i.tude, and power were simply extraordinary.
After winning, Zhao Fu’s position rose to number one on the Ancient Stem Rankings, giving off a brilliant light. At the same time, Zhao Fu felt a ma.s.sive amount of Fate being added to him.
Bai Haoran crawled up from the ground and wiped away the blood at his lips. He was quite convinced as he cupped his hands and said to Zhao Fu, “Thank you for being lenient!”
Zhao Fu courteously returned the gesture. Of course, Zhao Fu could not heavily wound Bai Haoran – the Dao Cultivation Sect was the most powerful Sect in the Ancient Stem Domain, so who would dare to offend them? If Zhao Fu was a true Emperor, he would not have to worry, but he was not.
With the Dao Cultivation Path’s power, it could completely obliterate Great Qin without any problems.
After emerging as the victor, Zhao Fu felt quite pleased as he went to collect his rewards. Zhao Fu had mainly fought for the rewards, and each of them was quite useful to him. Zhao Fu was quite thick-skinned as he took the rewards for the top ten places, and he just left behind some Spirit Crystals and medicinal pills as a gesture.
This caused everyone to feel quite speechless, inwardly marveling at how shameless and thick-skinned the Emperor was.
However, his strength and status were evident, so they naturally could not say anything. Moreover, those who had lost their rewards did not care about the rewards that much, and to be able to offer them to an expert like Zhao Fu was quite good as well.
Now, Zhao Fu was undoubtedly the most eye-catching figure in the Ancient Stem Domain; whether it was his status or power, everyone now acknowledged him.
After taking the rewards, Zhao Fu planned to leave. After all, he had been worried about the Killing Sword Intent he had unintentionally released earlier. As such, it would be best to leave as soon as possible.
“Arghhhhhh…” A cry suddenly rang out and everyone looked towards the viewing platforms, where the cry had come from.
Gu Jian’s body gave off a blood-red light, and his face was twisted in pain as he felt as if his body was being torn apart by countless swords. The Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master next to him looked extremely worried; he found that he could not suppress that berserk sword intent.
Just what kind of sword intent was this? Even with his cultivation and comprehension of the Path of the Sword, he could not suppress it.
Seeing his most beloved disciple in such pain, the Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master started to panic. He hurriedly tried all sorts of methods to try to suppress that Sword Intent Corrosion.
s.h.i.+ng! s.h.i.+ng! s.h.i.+ng…
Swords flew out from within the Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master’s body and floated around Gu Jian, giving off intense sword lights before slowly fusing into Gu Jian’s body.
Kill! Kill! Kill…
Within Gu Jian’s mind, the blood-red sword qi also gave off an intense blood-red light and corroded Gu Jian’s soul. The sword light from outside surrounded this blood-red sword qi, trying to get rid of it.
However, the blood-red sword qi was extremely resilient, and the attacks of the sword light from outside were like cotton, completely useless. Instead, the sword light from outside was a.s.similated by the blood-red sword qi.
This was sword intent that was enough to kill G.o.ds. Even though it was only a slight trace, it was not something that an ordinary person could deal with.
Zhao Fu felt that the situation was quite grim, and he turned into a ray of light as he flew over the horizon.
The Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master felt immense anger and heartache, and he wanted to chase after Zhao Fu for hurting his beloved disciple like this.
s.h.i.+ng!
The Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master flicked his wrist, causing a white sword light containing immense power to instantly shoot out. It flashed through the air and was about to hit the escaping Zhao Fu.
In that moment, Zhao Fu felt a ma.s.sive sense of danger. He immediately unleashed his defenses, wanting to block this attack.
Bang!
A ma.s.sive sound rang out as Zhao Fu was blasted flying by that sword light, cras.h.i.+ng 100 meters away and coughing up a large mouthful of blood.
All of the spectators were completely dumbfounded, they never thought that the Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master would suddenly attack Zhao Fu.
The major figures on the viewing platform were also quite confused, and they looked towards the Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master. They did not understand why he had attacked; with his cultivation and status, why would he bully a member of the younger generation
The Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master’s expression was cold as he icily gazed at Zhao Fu. He had seen Zhao Fu trying to escape, and because the situation was quite dire, he had chosen to attack.
However, he did not regret this because Zhao Fu had hurt his beloved disciple like this. Because of that blood-red sword qi, Gu Jian might go crazy and become a monster that only knew how to kill. If that happened, Gu Jian’s life would be over, and all of his pain-staking efforts over the years would be wasted.
“Hmph! This Sect Master doesn’t care if you’re some Emperor; I’m going to teach you a lesson today. If anything happens to Gu Jian, This Sect Master won’t spare your life!”
From the abnormalities on the Ancient Stem Rankings and from the way Zhao Fu acted, it was possible that he was not a true Emperor.
Emperors could cause countless people to feel fear because they wielded terrifying power and an Empire stood behind them.
An Empire had to devour 1,000 worlds, which was almost the entirety of the Ancient Stem Domain. The might of an Empire was not something a small Domain could compare to.
Zhao Fu endured the pain as he got up, looking at the Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master with fury. He felt immense humiliation, but he endured it; with his current strength, he was not a match for him.
All that Zhao Fu wanted to do right now was to leave this place and repay the favour ten times over in the future. If he died here, everything would be over.
The Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master gazed at Zhao Fu vehemently, feeling a trace of hatred. There was now enmity between the two of them, and this would mean more problems in the future. The Ancient Sword Sect’s Sect Master could not help but think about the blood that ran in Zhao Fu’s body and the fact that he had reached the top of the Ancient Stem Rankings.
