Chapter 2909: The Eternal Swordlord
Just then, a streak of sword light lit up in the sky. This streak of sword light seemed to have come from outside the heavens. It passed through time and space, directly cutting apart the constraints that the Revelation Divine Domain put on the Divine Power. It entered the Nine Dragons True Qi and hacked down on Ye Futian’s body.
Poof, poof… There were sharp, grating sounds, and then Ye Futian’s body vanished from his spot. He retreated to the distance. The defenses from the Divine Power of the World on his body were sliced apart, and a bloody gash appeared on his body under the beam of sword Qi.
The bloody gash started healing, but the gash contained extremely frightening sword Qi. It seemed to be not so easy to scatter. The Divine Power of vitality in Ye Futian’s body flooded madly to the injury to heal it.
Raising his head, Ye Futian looked into the distance. There was a middle-aged man in dark clothing. Merely standing there, he gave off an extremely sharp feeling. Sword Qi flowed all around him as if he was the ruler of that area of the sky.
As sword will flowed across his body, the swordsmen of the entire Heavenly Imperial City felt the sword will within their bodies go out of control. It was like they wanted to submit to this gust of sword will. They all looked to the sky in horror. That figure in the heavens was like the master of the swords of All Heavens.
“Eternal Swordlord!” Donghuang the Great stared at the figure that had appeared and thought of another super being from the era before the Heavenly Path had collapsed. The Eternal Swordlord had created the Eternal Sword Domain. He was skilled in the Sword Way of All Heavens, and the sword domains that he created could last for eternity. He had been a supreme figure of the ancient Sword Way and stood at the pinnacle. His level was above all of the gods and emperors he had killed before.
This kind of being had not died under the world tribulations and returned today. He was also being used by the Human Ancestor.
The Eternal Swordlord’s level was definitely above his back then. He had been one of the strongest figures in the world. One could imagine how threatening he was.
Even though they knew that the Human Ancestor had helped the various gods return and there would definitely be Super Great Emperors, Donghuang the Great had still underestimated them. He did not think that someone like the Eternal Swordlord could return too.
What did the Human Ancestor do exactly to let them return?
The Eternal Swordlord walked forward. His body was like a sword as if it was not made of flesh. His eyes contained immense sword will that could pierce someone. Being stared at by him made one feel the endless sword will attacking.
Did anyone in this era still remember him?
Back then, he had been one of those who fought against the Heavenly Path. At the time of the world tribulations, his cultivation had been one of the top Great Emperors. He had been “cared for” by the world tribulations and died on the spot. His physical body had been destroyed, and his spiritual soul had shattered, transforming into an eternal beam of sword will in this world.
However, he did not think that he would have the chance to return. Using this beam of eternal sword will, someone in this era helped him return. Even though he had not returned to the past and his abilities could not return to their peak, as long as he was back, anything was possible.
A frightening sword domain appeared. It was the Eternal Sword Domain. In that instant, all of the heavens were enveloped by this sword domain. Ye Futian and Donghuang the Great were both within this sword domain. The Revelation Divine Matrix overlapped with it but could not repress this sword domain.
The Eternal Sword Domain contained endless sword will. They shot murderously towards Donghuang the Great and Ye Futian, tearing apart the void like countless sword rivers.
Many of the surrounding Great Emperors saw the Eternal Swordlord attack, so they just stood there to watch. The Eternal Swordlord had been an aggressive and fearless being in their era, so killing two modern Great Emperors was naturally easy for him.
Since the ancient emperors returned, they would naturally have to take back their era. These two modern Great Emperors dared to dream about swaying the heavens.
Donghuang the Great walked forward, but he heard Ye Futian say, “Father, hand it to me.”
Hearing Ye Futian’s voice, Donghuang the Great turned and glanced at him. Then he nodded slightly. His figure retreated to the back and put up strong defenses around him to fend off the invasion of the Sword Path power.
Meanwhile, Divine Power seeped out of Ye Futian’s body, filling this vast space. In that moment, all of the Great Emperors felt a different kind of aura. Many things in this divine domain seemed to be the same, but it was also somehow different.
“Oh?” The Eternal Swordlord’s brows furrowed. He sensed a different kind of Law aura. The laws in Ye Futian’s divine domain were different. It was a law order that belonged to himself.
But he only furrowed his brows. It was the same for him. The Eternal Sword Domain contained his own laws of the Sword Path.
He waved his palm in the air. Instantly, many sword rivers fell from the dome of the sky. They contained limitless sword will. Those sword rivers were extremely aggressive and made the Great Path roar. They wanted to rip apart the sky as they cut down at Ye Futian.
The people of the Heavenly Imperial City saw the aggressive divine swords fall down like the Milky Way. They all felt incredibly shocked. This kind of sword could destroy a world, but it was going for Ye Futian at this moment.
Divine light wrapped around Ye Futian’s body as if he represented the law of the Heavenly Path. A similarly shocking sword materialized. Nine Dragons True Qi wrapped around that divine sword and carved a word—the word was “emperor.” This seemed to be the most noble sword in the world.
Once this sword was out, everyone would bow down. This was the king of the swords.
“Sword of the Heavenly Emperor!” The Eternal Swordlord was surprised when he saw Ye Futian’s sword. This sword was like the Sword of the Heavenly Emperor from the Deva. It was the sword that governed the universe.
“Boom!” Divine light flashed. The Sword of the Heavenly Emperor had been created by Ye Futian’s Power of the Law of the Heavenly Path. Carrying ultimate Divine Power, it crashed against the divine sword of the Eternal Swordlord. Instantly, a gust of destructive force swept through the skies. The horrible sword will ripped through all beings. The divine domain of the Great Path and the surrounding defenses were all ripped apart.
Strong light pierced their eyes. Before the people of the Heavenly Imperial City could process everything, they saw the various gods transform into beams of light and disappear.
In the blink of an eye, everyone had disappeared.
“Huh?”
“What happened?”
The people of the Heavenly Imperial City felt their hearts pound without stop. The destructive storm of sword Qi was still there, but the various gods had transformed into beams of light and left the Heavenly Imperial City.
“That sword was enough to destroy the entire Heavenly Imperial City. If the Heavenly Emperor had not blocked that sword, we all would have died,” someone said, feeling belated fear. The others all felt chills down their spine after hearing that.
Earlier, that sword had fallen down like the Milky Way. If it had come down, the sword will landing on the Heavenly Imperial City; then, the entire city would probably be obliterated directly by the sword will. How could they survive with their cultivation planes?
“Will anything happen to the Heavenly Emperor?” someone asked.
“Heavenly Emperor Ye has been cultivating in seclusion all this time and combined with a Heavenly Path. His abilities have already evolved and can’t be compared to how he had been. He can directly take the other’s sword, so you can imagine how strong he is. He would not stay to fight if he is not confident,” someone said. “The Heavenly Emperor is working with Donghuang the Great. Even if they cannot defeat the gods, surely they can retreat safely.”
All the strong figures nodded, and they gazed into the heavens. At that moment, they actually felt a sense of belonging.
In the battle between the old and new gods, who would become the legitimate rulers of the world?
