An hidden eighth-tier Great World.
Not long ago, the Sword Realm, the Chaos Tribe, and the Realm of Life and Death had scoured the entire Ninth Land, yet they could not find this hidden world.
Even the Yin-Yang River’s probes had failed to detect it.
Who could guarantee that there weren’t other hidden worlds?
Dozens of Great Emperors appeared, but they did not engage in combat.
Their combined might was insufficient to alter the tide of the current battlefield.
“Form the array.”
Thus, the Realm Master directly issued the command.
All the Great Emperors sat down simultaneously. From the Realm Master’s body, a small wooden carving, imbued with the will of the Black Saber, flew out.
*Hum.*
The strength of everyone surged into the wooden carving.
The carving instantly expanded, forming a gate of light.
On the battlefield, the Black Saber flashed and vanished: “Hold on…”
He felt the summoning of kindred power.
Within the wooden carving of the Black Saber, his Great Dao power was already present.
Now that it was opened, his true self could naturally sense it.
The summoning from that side was far stronger than this side.
Here, the void rift was such that the Pagoda and the Black Saber could only descend by force; the other side was different.
“Good.”
The owner of the Pagoda nodded.
One person bore the brunt of two opponents’ attacks. The Pagoda constantly shifted its form, and the rift was rapidly shrinking.
“It’s up to you now.”
The Lord of Light wished to break free from the battlefield.
However, at this moment, the Pagoda’s power surged instantaneously, trapping the Lord of Light and the Illusion Sect within their current positions.
As the Evil Monarch’s body was about to move, a familiar voice echoed in his ear: “Don’t go, let him descend.”
It was Chen Fan’s voice.
The Evil Monarch glanced at Chen Fan and nodded defiantly.
If the person behind the Black Saber were to descend, he should be very powerful, right?
The Evil Monarch thought this, and a strong fighting spirit rose within him.
He needed a stronger opponent.
Others attempted to intervene, but they were all stopped by Chen Fan.
“Let him descend.”
No further words were needed; these four words were sufficient.
No one objected.
“Hahaha.”
The Black Saber walked completely out of the gate of light.
Following closely was an arm wielding the saber, and then… a middle-aged face, filled with immense excitement, passed through the gate of light.
He was about to descend.
“Hahaha.”
At this moment, the Pagoda’s owner burst into laughter: “You are finished, hahaha…”
He had finally descended.
Every time a million tribulations arrived, those who descended first gained the greatest benefits.
Of course, this excluded the Dao Lords of the various heavens.
“Heh heh.”
Unexpectedly, the Illusion Sect and the Lord of Light suddenly calmed down.
The Pagoda had already been battered, its silver paint peeling off, and the bone ornaments on its eaves were almost entirely shattered.
No matter how powerful the Pagoda was, it was controlled by a wisp of will from a strong individual. Facing the combined might of two Ninth-Tier experts, it had held on commendably.
The restrictions were lifted, but the Illusion Sect and the Lord of Light did not leave.
The urgency that had been on their faces was gone.
“Hmm?”
The Pagoda sounded perplexed: “Why aren’t you stopping him?”
The body within the gate of light was almost entirely out.
There was still a sliver of a chance to stop him now. If they didn’t act, it would be too late once the opponent was fully out.
“Why should we stop him?” the Lord of Light retorted.
The Pagoda: “???”
So what…
He couldn’t quite comprehend their thought process.
“Heh.”
The Illusion Sect smiled slightly: “We can take our time and perhaps watch the battle on the other side…”
The Pagoda: “……”
He sensed the absolute confidence radiating from the two.
“What are you relying on?”
The Pagoda’s tone held a barely perceptible trace of solemnity: “Do you know the strength of a Ninth-Tier expert who commands a six-segment Dao Spirit?”
The two scoffed: “Is sixth-tier strong?”
The Pagoda: “???”
He was even more bewildered.
Where did this confidence come from?
The two of you, with four-segment Dao Spirits, are looking down on someone who commands a six-segment Dao Spirit?
Unfortunately, the Pagoda had no idea that these two had fought against the Thunder Lord.
That individual from back then had commanded an eighth-tier Dao Spirit.
A true member of the elite, standing at the pinnacle of the Ten Great Realms, a formidable being capable of presiding over the Upper Three Heavens.
Compared to the Thunder Lord, it wasn’t that the two were looking down on a six-segment, but rather… they genuinely didn’t consider it that formidable.
And the foundation of their confidence finally appeared.
*Hum.*
Space warped, and Chen Fan appeared in front of the gate of light.
The expert holding the Black Saber, named Black Magus, sneered at Chen Fan: “You want to stop me? It’s too late…”
The last foot was also about to emerge.
Chen Fan shook his head: “You can be faster.”
Black Magus: “???”
He wore the same bewildered expression as the Pagoda.
What did that mean?
The next moment, he understood.
“Haha, how arrogant.”
Black Magus roared with laughter and pulled his last foot out of the gate of light.
He clenched the Black Saber in his hand with a sinister grin and looked at Chen Fan: “How do you wish to die?”
*Clang.*
Chen Fan did not reply.
The Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi appeared in his hand, and he thrust it forward.
The piercing sound of air being torn apart, accompanied by the force of wind and thunder, descended, striking towards Black Magus’s brow.
“You still dare to attack?”
Black Magus’s expression grew even more ferocious.
He seemed to have devised a perfect plan to tear Chen Fan limb from limb.
He abandoned the Black Saber and reached out with his bare hand.
Dark demonic martial energy covered his palm as he contemptuously grasped at the long sword.
He was utterly confident.
“Pfft.”
The long sword pierced through his palm as easily as a knife cutting through tofu.
The sword’s body did not stop, and with unstoppable momentum, it pierced through Black Magus’s heart.
With a ‘bang,’ the sword intent spread, shattering Black Magus’s heart, and simultaneously… the sword intent expanded, tearing his physical body apart.
Only the arm wielding the Black Saber remained floating, intact.
In the distance…
The Pagoda: “???”
What was that?
He was completely dumbfounded.
In the very first moment of engagement, Black Magus’s physical body had exploded?
Although his Great Dao remained, and Black Magus’s physical body was being recondensed, the confusion in the Pagoda’s mind did not dissipate.
“Kid.”
Black Magus’s face was extremely grim: “What kind of weapon is that?”
He sensed something unusual.
That divine weapon was indestructible, and it had easily broken through his protective Great Dao.
For a moment, he failed to recognize it as a divine weapon.
Or rather, he simply didn’t know of the existence of divine weapons.
Therefore…
“Kill.”
Wind and thunder converged, and a colossal sword lotus formed, directly engulfing Black Magus.
Indestructibility was the inherent quality of the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi itself; its sword intent could not yet achieve such absolute indestructibility.
*Clang, clang, clang.*
The sword intent cut at Black Magus’s physical body, but it produced sounds like sparks, like being tickled.
It couldn’t penetrate.
*Boom.*
A colossal aura surged from Black Magus’s body.
The terrifying aura boiled instantly, shattering the sword lotus that felt like an itchy scratch.
A storm gathered, and ferocious blood threads, like winding little snakes, climbed onto his pupils. Black Magus licked his bloodthirsty lips, and a greedy voice emerged: “A good weapon. Given the magnificent gift you’ve brought, I shall spare your corpse.”
His aura swept across heaven and earth like a storm.
Boundless pressure spread.
“Roar.”
The roar of the Dao Spirit flashed and vanished.
Black Magus unleashed his strongest attack, directly summoning his Dao Spirit and integrating it into the Black Saber.
As the Black Saber swung, heaven and earth changed color.
