Chapter 1027: One More Time
The battle between the Divine Daughter and the Demon Emperor, from a certain perspective, was a contest between two great powerhouses from this era and the previous one. However, that was not entirely accurate, because neither of them seemed capable of representing the strongest expert of their respective era.
But since it was a clash between Fuyun Realm powerhouses, no matter how weak it might be, it could not possibly be weak by much.
Autumn and Yu Xiyi had previously engaged in a brief contest of swords. Although Yu Xiyi had gained the upper hand, the battle had been too short. Moreover, while Yu Xiyi's sword dao cultivation was indeed impressive, his realm was ultimately... not that high.
Now that the Divine Daughter was drawing her sword, the spectacle was vastly more magnificent. Furthermore, because she came from the previous era, the sword dao she had learned differed from that of the sword cultivators of this age. Thus, although she and the Sword Sect's Sect Master were both Fuyun sword immortals, their swords were worlds apart.
The snow-white flying sword in the Divine Daughter's hand thrust out again and again. Each time she struck, it was as though a gust of wind and snow appeared between heaven and earth. After several sword strikes, despite the clear blue sky moments ago, the skies above the Divine Mountain were now filled with howling wind and snow.
It was as though heaven and earth had entered winter in an instant.
The Demon Emperor's vast demonic qi was suppressed and driven back little by little by that wind and snow. Yet in truth, that wind and snow was also sword qi. As it swept forward, it carried boundless killing intent. The razor-sharp sword qi effortlessly tore open the surrounding space. The Demon Emperor continued to gaze ahead with the same calm expression, but the flow of his demonic qi was no longer as smooth as before.
Having ruled over the Demon Domain for so many years, this ruler of myriad demons had long cultivated an aura that few others could possess - the bearing of one who stood supreme above all, invincible beneath heaven. Much of the time, this had nothing to do with cultivation realm and everything to do with one's status in the world.
With such bearing, one's opponents would inevitably feel a few extra degrees of apprehension when facing him.
