Chapter 734: Splitting the storm
No one could wield the name of an entire Royal Family other than the Royal King himself, and precisely, that was the identity of the man with the poisonous sword and dagger. He was none other than the Alchemy Sword Royal King, a direct descendant of the Seventh Emperor of the Godslayer Humankind, the Alchemy Sword Emperor.
The Alchemy Sword Emperor had controlled the Godslayer Humankind Empire before the rise of the current Golden Emperor. He had reached the absolute peak in two aspects of cultivation: his swordsmanship and alchemy, merging the weapon and profession into a battle style unique to him.
This supernatural martial style intertwined the refined artistry of swordsmanship with the arcane secrets of alchemy, focusing on the creation and utilization of various toxins and poisons that could be flawlessly deployed through sword skills.
As one becomes stronger and rises in the cultivation ranks, their immune system becomes more refined and powerful, making poisons and similar techniques less effective.
For thousands of years, many across Aether believed no poison or toxin could generate a lasting impact on those who reached the Peak Divine Ascension Realm. However, the Alchemy Sword Emperor proved otherwise.
Despite not being overwhelmingly strong and only able to inflict superficial cuts with his swordsmanship, the poisons the Alchemy Sword Emperor could create with his alchemy could inflict crippling wounds in the bodies of True Titans and True Gods.
Even surviving a clash with the Alchemy Sword Emperor meant spending hundreds, if not thousands of years, trying to expel the poison from your body. Otherwise, it would consume your flesh, blood, vitality, and energy until nothing was left.
Such a venomous battle style was why, before ascending as Emperor, the man was known as the Venomous Blade Alchemist, feared by all across Aether.
Since his departure was less than a thousand years ago, the teachings and inheritance of the Alchemy Sword Emperor were still fresh within the Alchemy Sword Royal Family, making them one of the strongest forces in the entire Godslayer Humankind Empire.
Yet, despite understanding the enemy's immense power, the Collapsing Lightning Duke and First Collapsing Lightning Pillar stared at the Alchemy Sword King without an ounce of fear. The same could be said for the eighteen Divine Ascension Masters behind them.
