745: Chapter 193: A Sword_3 745: Chapter 193: A Sword_3 He wasn’t feigning calmness, but truly at peace, as if the Deposed Crown Prince taking the Dragon Ball from the Mountain and River Ding had no effect on him whatsoever.
A million miles away, the Deposed Crown Prince burst through the clouds and landed on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
He couldn’t afford to care for his injuries as an attendant promptly presented a box.
The Crown Prince swiftly placed the Dragon Ball into the box, took up a brush to inscribe Talisman Runes, and laid the runes on the box, sealing the Dragon Ball tightly.
“Your Highness!” A young attendant by his side, perplexed, questioned, “Why do you not use the treasure that was so difficult to retrieve and instead seal it completely?”
The Crown Prince knew exactly what he was doing.
Taking advantage of Emperor Luan’s severe injuries, he had seized back the Dragon Ball from the Mountain and River Ding—this Dragon Ball represented not mere worldly power but the authority of the “Prison” itself!
Possessing the Dragon Ball could elevate one’s authority to incredible heights—even a Crown Prince could advance further beyond any pinnacles!
The Deposed Crown Prince shook his head.
He knew Emperor Luan all too well.
After studying him for a hundred thousand years, he knew Emperor Luan would never reveal how many stratagems he had up his sleeve.
Who knew if Emperor Luan had realized about the Dragon Ball?
It’s possible that he had placed tricks on it long ago.
Regaining the authority was just to hinder Emperor Luan; he himself would never use it!
“Si, go investigate about Emperor Luan’s lineage, who perished in this battle,” the Deposed Crown Prince spoke in a low voice.
Emperor Luan was no fool, and neither was the Mystery Huang World.
The fools were probably those who had died.
As the Deposed Crown Prince spoke, he vomited another mouthful of blood.
“Your Highness!” The hands of the attendant holding the box trembled slightly, and his breathing grew heavier as he observed the Crown Prince’s pallid complexion.
The Deposed Crown Prince shook his head, with a faint trace of mirth in his eyes.
Emperor Luan, with the Mountain and River Ding in hand, was too powerful.
Had Emperor Luan controlled the country’s fate with his left hand and the Mountain and River Ding with his right, disregarding all his ministers and generals, it’s uncertain he would’ve lost to the White Dragon of the Mystery Huang World.
He could finally break free from the battle formation!
Without a Divine Artifact of equal standing, it was impossible to confront Emperor Luan.
The Deposed Crown Prince turned to look outside the Baiyun Palace, wondering how Yaozi was doing.
Yaozi hadn’t listened to his orders and hadn’t returned.
The Crown Prince didn’t blame him.
There’s a saying, “When on a mission, one doesn’t always follow the monarch’s orders.” It must be that Yaozi discovered the Immortal Sword could be seized, or perhaps something else more important had arisen.
If it’s not before you, you must act appropriately in urgent situations, and deciding on your own is not a problem!
If Yaozi could retrieve that Fairy Sword, then facing Emperor Luan again, they’d stand a chance.
…
Outside Baiyun Palace, amidst the Dark Tide.
Lost in the Dark Tide, the surroundings became indiscernible.
The unchanging Dark Tide for ten million years suddenly erupted with a thunderous boom, followed by the crackling sound of shattering mirror surfaces.
A burst of golden light spread, and one could see the Crown Prince, who had been pursuing Su Huanian along with a Stepping Sky Six-fold, had his Bronze Mirror pierced by a sword strike.
The Bronze Mirror turned back into golden light and returned to the Crown Prince’s Sun Treasure Mirror.
The Crown Prince didn’t wait for the Stepping Sky Six-fold’s Divine God Soul to scatter, turning him into a walking corpse, before he struck with his palm, pulverizing him to dust.
Yet, in the moments before his death, that Stepping Sky Six-fold wore a look of gratitude and surprise as he glanced at the Crown Prince.
Dying in the Dark Tide meant there was no possibility of rebirth, but being suppressed by the Crown Prince before the Dark Tide might grant a chance for rebirth?
The Crown Prince destroyed his follower with a palm strike, and with a sudden flash, he dodged the attacking Spirit Immortal Sword.
With a stomp, a Formation rose beneath him, bars of rosy light fell, and suppressed the Fairy Sword.
The Fairy Sword buzzed and trembled but was unable to break free.
Despite having suppressed the Fairy Sword, not the slightest hint of joy appeared on the Crown Prince’s face.
That woman who escaped!
The one who had tangled with him for days turned out to be just an Avatar!
Had he not initiated a great tremor that shattered the Avatar, he may not have realized it till now!
Just a single sword had dueled with him until now and even shattered his attendant’s Bronze Mirror.
It had even tried three times to cut open his Sun Treasure Mirror above his head, but unfortunately, his Sun Treasure Mirror was his true body, so how could it be shattered from the outside?
This isn’t the point at all, it’s clearly a sword, and even though its owner has left, he still couldn’t control it.
The sword had thoroughly recognized its master, and he couldn’t even refine it!
His True Yuan and Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate the Immortal Sword at all.
The Princely Heir gathered the Yuan Qi that Su Huanian’s avatar had scattered with a wave of his hand.
The visibility in the Dark Tide grew even shorter, but with this Yuan Qi, he could pursue Su Huanian’s true body.
By killing the true body and severing the Immortal Sword’s master, he could then re-refine the Immortal Sword.
The Princely Heir controlled the Formation with one hand to suppress the Immortal Sword, and gathered Yuan Qi with the other.
With a flick of his finger, the Yuan Qi transformed into an arrowhead pointing into the distance.
A gleam flashed in the Princely Heir’s eyes as he picked up the Big Array, suppressing the Immortal Sword whilst following the direction of the arrowhead to give chase.
It took less than half a day to spot a figure flying swiftly through the Dark Tide from afar.
A smile curled up at the corner of the Princely Heir’s mouth.
This woman, without the Immortal Sword, was relying solely on her Escape Skill, achieving only the speed of Stepping Sky Five-fold.
Although a monstrous talent that defies Heaven within the same Boundary Status, she was nothing in front of him.
The eyes of the Princely Heir sharpened.
This woman had great fortune, not only possessing the Immortal Sword but also having the means to survive in the Dark Tide, whether it was Pill Medicine or Magical Treasure, he was determined to get them!
That thing she carried would be of great use to my father!
When he saw Su Huanian, the Immortal Sword was completely suppressed by the Formation.
As expected, it is fated to be mine!
The Princely Heir laughed, accelerating towards Su Huanian while simultaneously reaching back to catch the Immortal Sword as it bounced into the light of the Sun Treasure Mirror.
He grabbed for it.
But at that moment, the woman who had been fleeing ahead suddenly stopped, turned around, and with a flick of her finger, the Immortal Sword he had grabbed broke free from his grip and stabbed upward towards the Sun Treasure Mirror above his head.
The Princely Heir was shocked and then filled with rage.
Damn it!
This woman is using deceit!
The Sun Treasure Mirror’s light enveloped him like an umbrella, and from outside to inside, the Immortal Sword couldn’t break through it.
He was like a turtle in its shell, invincible.
The woman had intentionally thrown away the Immortal Sword, pretending to let him suppress it, prompting him to draw the Immortal Sword into the Sun Treasure Mirror.
Then she suddenly broke free from suppression and struck directly at the Sun Treasure Mirror.
“Bitch!”
The Princely Heir’s complexion changed drastically as he raised his hand to strike at Su Huanian.
He didn’t aim for the Immortal Sword, because judging by the force with which the Immortal Sword had broken free, he couldn’t stop it.
Only by killing this woman would the Immortal Sword stop.
This woman didn’t have the means to use Reverse Cut Root to suppress someone of Stepping Sky Seven-fold!
Otherwise, that strike should have landed on him!
She knew that even if she used the Immortal Sword to slay him, he could resurrect instantly.
The chance to strike afforded by her ploy was only good for one strike.
As a mighty Stepping Sky Seven-fold, if he allowed her a second strike, he might as well plunge into the Dark Tide and kill himself!
With one strike, she could only target the Sun Treasure Mirror!
As the Princely Heir lashed out with his palm, the woman before him did not panic at all but crashed into the palm wind, shattering and turning into a snowstorm.
It was another avatar!
The Princely Heir’s expression changed once more, followed by a crisp sound.
Ding!
The Immortal Sword struck the Sun Treasure Mirror.
The power contained within the Immortal Sword burst forth instantly, a beam of sword light piercing through and breaking the Sun Treasure Mirror, sending the Immortal Sword soaring through it, straight for the Nine Heavens.
