Chapter 114: Witness of the Era (11)
In a grand era, countless smaller eras existed. Under the suppression of a single Emperor, the cultivation paths of all living beings grew ever more arduous—until that Emperor entered their twilight years.
During the decline of an Emperor—from their peak to their fall—there arose decay, dharma-ending ages, and fleeting revivals. Innumerable smaller eras produced innumerable invincible figures. Some chose to shatter their shackles and die without regret. Others, seeing no path forward, sealed themselves away to await the arrival of a new grand era.
Among the invincible, some were mighty, others merely strong.
Ji Xuanxiao had been born in a dharma-ending age when Saints no longer appeared and divine or sacred physiques were nearly extinct. He had battled and defeated every genius of his time, then sealed himself away as the undisputed invincible one—waiting for a new great era.
To Su Chen, Ji Xuanxiao seemed utterly laughable—like a frog at the bottom of a well, blind to the splendor of a true grand era.
Su Chen drew his sword. This single strike fused his martial dao will into a radiant sword beam unlike anything Ji Xuanxiao had ever witnessed.
The manic grin on the latter's face froze. One after another, the puppet-like figures—former prodigies defeated and soul-bound by Ji Xuanxiao—shattered like fragile porcelain.
In front of Su Chen, those once-era-defining souls were no different from cannon fodder.
"How is this possible? How can you be this strong?"
