Eternal Saber

Regarding Emperor Wu, he felt more curiosity.

Murong Daoye and Yuwen Mao both saw Emperor Wu, their faces changed.

Emperor Wu wasn’t dead, Murong Daoye felt a mix of emotions, including some joy, some guilt, and some fear.

Yuwen Mao’s expression fluctuated, his lips turned pale.

Instantly, he was drenched in sweat, soaking through his clothes.

If it weren’t for Dao Sect being present, he would’ve almost turned and fled!

"You finally decided to show yourself."

Upon seeing Emperor Wu, Dao Sect’s eyes finally showed a slight ripple, like a weight off his shoulders.

Even after so many years, Emperor Wu was still a huge threat in his mind!

In fact, he had arrived long ago.

The reason he hadn’t taken action until now was to wait for Emperor Wu to appear.

But the battlefield situation changed rapidly, Chen Tang appeared, Demon Venerable took action, quickly turning the tide.

If he continued to stand by, the Profound Celestial Eight Sons would all perish here!

"Get lost."

Emperor Wu ignored Dao Sect, his gaze shifted to Murong Daoye and Yuwen Mao, and coldly said.

Murong Daoye immediately bowed his head and retreated.

Yuwen Mao felt relieved, disregarding the strange looks from those present, swiftly turned and fled, quickly disappearing.

Everyone was stunned.

After so many years, Emperor Wu’s influence remained.

With just one sentence, Daqian’s First War God obediently stepped back, without hesitation.

The Grand Commandant Yuwen, who commanded Daqian’s military, was so frightened he fled...

Chen Tang secretly admired in his heart.

Although Murong Daoye once abandoned Emperor Wu, and Yuwen Mao was even more treacherous, committing regicide, Emperor Wu remained clear-headed, avoiding making enemies rashly.

At present, the biggest threats were clearly Dao Sect and Profound Celestial Sect.

And with just a single sentence, Emperor Wu diminished the opposing side by two Grandmasters of Transformation Realm!

Emperor Wu looked at Dao Sect, suddenly chuckled and said, "You’ve cultivated to such a realm, yet you’re still so timid. Is everyone from your place as cowardly as you?"

"Hmph!"

Dao Sect snorted coldly and replied, "Frog at the bottom of the well, you’ve never seen the real world. How would you know the cruelty of the Cultivation Realm? Without such caution, who knows how many times I would’ve died?"

Emperor Wu laughed and said, "You’ve seen the real world, why not return there? Why do you insist on staying in this muddy pit at the bottom of the well, keeping company with us frogs at the bottom of the well?"

Dao Sect’s expression slightly changed upon hearing this, seemingly touched in his mindset.

Emperor Wu’s gaze intensified as he strode forward, crossing the void, his shoulder moved, and that broad saber slashed forward!

Swish!

An extremely sharp sword intent descended from the sky, as if intending to shatter heaven and earth, to obliterate everything before it.

Though the two appeared to be chatting casually, they were actually probing each other’s words, seeking vulnerabilities.

This was a confrontation on a spiritual level, a clash of minds.

Any slight perturbation in one’s spirit would be detected by the other, gaining the advantage!

"Hmph!"

Dao Sect chuckled coldly, his robe sleeves shook.

In an instant, a dazzling golden light burst forth from his sleeve, linking head and tail, crashing into the advancing sword intent.

Clang clang clang clang!

A series of crisp sounds.

The first few golden rays were swiftly shattered by Emperor Wu’s sword intent.

But as time went on, the strength of Emperor Wu’s sword intent weakened.

Soon, Emperor Wu’s sword intent collapsed, not even touching a corner of Dao Sect’s robe.

Emperor Wu retracted his saber, lowered his head to inspect.

Just from the earlier clash, his ’Divine Art’ Treasure Saber now bore a gash.

"Is this your flying sword?"

Emperor Wu frowned slightly.

Floating beside Dao Sect were thirty-two radiant flying swords, extremely mystical, emanating a cold gleam.

"Heh heh."

Dao Sect, somewhat smug, said lightly, "Upon hearing you were still alive, I descended the mountain, went to Celestial Mountain, slaughtered that beast, and took the golden wings from its back, refining them into the flying sword."

"This is my newly crafted Golden-Winged Flying Sword, how does it feel?"

Chen Tang clenched his fists tightly, his gaze cold.

The Golden-Winged Roc on Celestial Mountain was indeed killed by Dao Sect!

Emperor Wu said, "It feels like you’re quite a scoundrel."

Dao Sect’s face briefly flickered with anger, then his lips curled slightly, a hint of mockery in his eyes, "Decades have passed, yet your strength remains the same, no improvement at all."

Chen Tang was infuriated at those words.

Back then, Emperor Wu was schemed against by Dao Sect, ambushed, betrayed, almost perishing on Martial General Mountain.

Even though Zen Sect rescued him through Vajra Relic’s secret technique, his Divine Soul suffered irreparable trauma, staying on Three Thousand Snow Ridges for decades.

Over these years, Emperor Wu’s soul wound remained unhealed, how could he possibly improve?

"You’re right, my cultivation hasn’t progressed."

Emperor Wu nodded, unconcerned, and said, "But my Divine Soul’s wound has healed, and that’s enough to deal with you!"

Before finishing his sentence, Emperor Wu slashed out with his saber once more.

A flash of saber light appeared.

In the next moment, a spark suddenly flared in the void, rapidly spreading, igniting half the sky, and sweeping towards the Dao Sect with an unstoppable momentum!

"Starfire Ignites the Sky!"

Chen Tang exclaimed softly.

This was the last level of the Burning Wood Saber.

Upon reaching this realm, wherever the blade passed, nothing remained unburned.

"Vast Sea!"

The Dao Sect master formed a spell with his hands, and with a light shout.

An endless expanse of sea suddenly appeared between the two, identical to the one Chen Tang had seen in the "Sea of Wisdom Enlightenment Map".

This sea descended, raising towering waves, moving to swallow the raging flames sweeping towards it.

Hiss!

No matter how strong Starfire Ignites the Sky was, it couldn’t resist the power of the vast sea.

This sea was boundless and immense, seemingly containing unlimited power.

Any flame reaching here would be engulfed and reduced to nothing!

Emperor Wu’s expression remained unchanged, but an intense surge of Divine Soul erupted from his brow, channeling the Power of Heaven and Earth, as he gripped his saber’s hilt with both hands and slashed forward again!

"Breaking the River with a Whip!"

With a light shout from Emperor Wu, suddenly, on the edge of the vast sea, behind Emperor Wu, it seemed as if there were a million troops, flags waving, creating an awe-inspiring momentum!

At such a realm of saber intent cultivation, it was already considered all-pervading!

Everyone threw the whips they held in their hands towards the vast sea.

The countless whips in mid-air transformed into beams of saber light, plunging into the sea.

Crash!

Numerous beams of saber light slashed down, directly cleaving the vast sea in two!

An empty space appeared in the middle of the sea.

This meant that between Emperor Wu and the Dao Sect, there was no sea barrier left.

Chen Tang had heard of the ability to cut water with a saber.

And now, Emperor Wu’s saber intent ’Breaking the River with a Whip’, even severed the vast sea into two halves!

"Kill!"

Emperor Wu shouted loudly, striking out with a punch.

"Roar!"

"Ang!"

Instantly, accompanied by a dragon’s roar and a tiger’s howl, a snow-white, majestic Fierce Tiger, following the path paved by saber intent, leaped towards the opposite Dao Sect, like a tiger descending from the mountain, filled with murderous intent.

Alongside it, a Divine Dragon with prominent features and sharp claws soared into the sky with a mighty roar, overturning rivers and seas, descending from above, charging towards the Dao Sect!

Dragon and Tiger Strike!

At this moment, the Sword Sect trembled his long sword in hand, with a gleam of sword light seeming to flicker from his brow, slashing a sword towards the Dao Sect as well.

In mid-air, countless sword lights suddenly appeared, shadows overlapping, dazzling the eyes.

Sword lights were everywhere.

Sword intent was omnipresent!

"Myriad Swords Return to the Sect!"

The Sword Sect master softly called.

In an instant, countless sword lights and sword intents all gathered, forming a single sword, breaking through the air.

The power unleashed by this sword intent was evidently more formidable and terrifying than the sword intent of One Sword Crosses the River and Water Dropping Stone Piercing!

Only when the Dao Sect master appeared did the Sword Sect master unleash his full strength.

The Zen Sect master activated his Divine Soul, suddenly throwing out the eighteen prayer beads in his palm.

Boom boom boom!

The eighteen prayer beads abruptly exploded in mid-air, turning to dust.

"Amitabha."

The Zen Sect master softly chanted a Buddhist verse.

In heaven and earth, mighty power suddenly descended, merging with the eighteen prayer beads.

Whir!

Then, before everyone’s eyes, eighteen Arhat-like towering figures emerged, surrounding the Dao Sect master, looking down with a fierce gaze.

Around the eighteen Arhats, there were countless illusory Buddha figures.

"Buddhas Return to the Sect!"

The Zen Sect master slightly bowed his head, appearing as if he was paying respect to the Dao Sect master.

With his bow, those eighteen Arhats and countless illusory Buddha figures bowed down simultaneously.

With the Buddha’s homage, who could withstand it!

In an instant, heaven and earth trembled.
