Chapter 582: Heavenly Sword War God
The Witch quietly watched Chen Lan, unsure of what to say, her emotions exceedingly complex.
Chen Lan showed a bitter smile, noticing his daughter’s mixed emotions, confronting a deadbeat father she hadn’t seen in over a million years who abandoned his wife and daughter.
If it were him, he would wish to kill this man.
His guilt toward his daughter was immeasurable, overwhelming!
"Demon Slayer!!!"
At that moment, a voice resounded through heaven and earth, accompanied by the sound of a sword’s call.
Countless blades rose from the ground, standing tall in the sky like sword rain, surrounding Chen Lan.
Chen Lan sensed the Demon God Sword within his Dantian trembling slightly, as if resisting something.
"Sword Dao." Chen Lan murmured as he looked down at the Witch, "Daughter, you rest inside the small world first. I’ll explain after I defeat the enemy."
With those words, he waved his hand and placed the Witch into the small world, frowning slightly as he looked towards the sky.
Thunder roared, echoing loudly, the sword intent towering to the heavens, spreading for thousands of miles, cutting through the heavens and earth!
The arriving person must be an elite of the Sword Dao, not surprising for someone of such caliber in the Celestial Domain.
"I am the Heavenly Sword War God under the Celestial Emperor, here to slay you on my lord’s orders."
As the voice fell, a figure descended slowly from within the thunder, surrounded by it, and countless blades, as if hearing an order, flew towards him, circling around him.
All the swords submitted to this person, obeying his command.
Under the Celestial Emperor, there are five War Gods, and this seems to be one of them.
This Heavenly Sword War God is not to be underestimated; he would be a formidable opponent.
In the Divine Dao, there are also differences. Over the past month, Chen Lan had observed numerous Divine Daos and found that some Divine Daos had many challengers, such as the Five Elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—which had tens of thousands of challengers!
Yes, tens of thousands, all using the Five Elements to break through the Divine Dao, and it’s not just one path with tens of thousands, each of the great paths has tens of thousands and more.
The great paths that are easy to comprehend have many Divine Dao powerhouses, while those difficult to grasp have fewer, and this Sword Dao only has over a hundred people, wondering where this Heavenly Sword War God ranks.
Because once you break through the Divine Dao, the Cosmic Venerable will place your soul embodiment there, and you can constantly sense whether the embodiment is being challenged, maintaining self-awareness.
Even if you die, the embodiment still exists but retains no future memories, only those from before, allowing you to leave your mark in history, letting future generations know there was such a powerful figure.
"Come, I also need a test stone for my sword." Chen Lan summoned the Demon God Sword, speaking calmly.
"Let’s see if you have the power then."
As soon as the words were spoken, countless sword blades instantly pointed at Chen Lan, their sharpness cutting through as the swords rained down!
Watching the sword rain descend, Chen Lan casually swung a sword, demonic energy surging, sword qi flattened countless sword blades, which fell and embedded themselves into the ground.
"Catch it well." Chen Lan spoke calmly.
At his words, the countless sword blades previously under his command all rose up and flew behind him, beginning to coalesce, finally forming a giant sword blade.
With a wave of his hand, the giant sword flew toward the Heavenly Sword War God, accompanied by terrifying demonic energy, its speed astonishing.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Sword War God remained calm, merely stepping gently.
Boom!
The giant sword exploded instantly, bursting into countless sword blade fragments, falling to the ground.
"Tricks of a petty thief." The Heavenly Sword War God dismissed, stepping again, "Come in."
In an instant, the world changed greatly, and both Chen Lan and the Heavenly Sword War God disappeared, leaving only the Violent Rats gnawing at corpses, looking puzzled.
Where is the master?
Never mind, keep eating.
...
Sword Heaven Illusory Dream.
As always, upon entering, Chen Lan summoned an Illusory Dream, two forces opposing each other, canceling out.
The Heavenly Sword War God was not surprised by this; he never intended to suppress Chen Lan with an Illusory Dream, merely wanting to switch to a more advantageous place.
With just a thought, countless blades began circling the Heavenly Sword War God, these blades in the Sword Heaven Illusory Dream were indestructible.
On the other side, Chen Lan watched the Heavenly Sword War God indifferently, and with another thought, countless ghosts and demons appeared behind him, all summoned from Hell!
"So, this is the Demon Dao? Interesting, let’s see if your demons are mightier or my blades are mightier." The Heavenly Sword War God sneered.
He had once challenged a Divine Daoist of the Demon Dao, a woman with overwhelming power who defeated him in just two moves, challenging her for tens of thousands of years without a single victory!
But that was the second-ranked Divine Dao powerhouse. Although Chen Lan could defeat a Divine Daoist to break through, it may not be that particular challenger; that final one was a man in wolf’s clothing, whom he challenged for three thousand years and eventually defeated.
He refined the origin of the Demon Dao into the Sword Dao.
Only cultivating one path allows quicker entry into the realm of the Emperor, making one stronger.
In an instant, countless blades whistled towards Chen Lan, while the Fierce Ghosts and demons behind him let out harrowing howls, pouncing at the blades.
Though they couldn’t be destroyed, they could be blocked.
Chen Lan’s figure flickered and vanished, and the Heavenly Sword War God casually turned and struck, parrying Chen Lan’s offensive.
"Not bad speed, but that’s all."
In his eyes, Chen Lan’s speed wasn’t considered fast, visible to the naked eye.
Chen Lan squinted slightly, surprised his speed was seen through; as he expected, this person is not easy to deal with.
"As a member of the Human Race, you’re actually serving the Evil Race, truly disgracing the Human Race." Chen Lan spoke calmly.
The Heavenly Sword War God before him was not part of the Evil Race, but a pure member of the Human Race.
"As long as I can survive, does it matter who I serve? Once I served the Human Emperor, served the Heavenly Dao, wasn’t it all serving?" The Heavenly Sword War God sneered, shaking his head, "Lord Demon Emperor, you haven’t been forced by the Evil Race, you simply cannot relate to our pain."
Hearing this, Chen Lan’s heart trembled.
He seemed slightly unaware of the situation.
If it weren’t for the sake of survival, most people wouldn’t willingly pledge themselves to the Evil Race; it’s all for survival.
As Chen Lan fell silent, a mysterious smile crept onto the Heavenly Sword War God’s lips, his gaze briefly flickering with pain, then he roared furiously: "Have you humiliated me enough? Prepare to die!"
The Heavenly Sword War God’s sudden roar startled Chen Lan, who quickly dodged, a strand of his hair being cut off by a passing sword qi.
He looked at the Heavenly Sword War God, whose emotions seemed somewhat unstable. This situation appeared more like he was being manipulated, or perhaps his inner desires were magnified.
It seemed the Celestial Emperor had gained control over the Heavenly Sword War God’s soul.
"Sword Rain!" The Heavenly Sword War God roared, and a massive Array unfolded behind him.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
In an instant, countless sword blades flew out from the Array, shooting towards Chen Lan.
Seeing this, Chen Lan opened a Space Tunnel with one hand, redirecting the Flying Swords back.
Yet when another Space Tunnel opened, the Flying Swords returned again, not heading towards the Heavenly Sword War God.
It seemed these Flying Swords had their own space lock, rendering avoidance impossible.
"Explode!"
