Chapter 1028: A Single Blade of Leaf
That sword was not the Divine Daughter’s personal sword alone. It was more as though, through that strike, she had awakened the final resistance of the Northern Frontier Divine Mountain against those so-called deities.
The power of the entire divine mountain, one of the four strongest sects of that era, had been utterly powerless in the face of such a apocalyptic calamity.
Before those so-called deities, these powerful cultivators often seemed no different from insignificant ants. And yet, even so, they had never seemed to choose surrender. Knowing full well they could not win, they still threw themselves into battle without hesitation.
Because there was no retreat.
That will had not dissipated even now after experiencing thousands of years.
The Demon Emperor was not one of those so-called deities. His cultivation realm had not reached such a level. When faced with this sword, he felt the threat of death, and thus fear arose within him.
No one is without fear. Even the most powerful existence, when faced with the possibility of being erased, will instinctively feel fear.
And once fear is born, it inevitably drives one to act in ways to preserve their life.
Just like the Demon Emperor at this moment. The towering dharma idol no longer carried its previous calm. The demonic beasts within its emperor robes all surged out at this moment, blocking the path of that sword.
