I Have A Sword

Boom!

When the hand gave the drop of wine a squeeze, the drop of wine exploded, creating a terrifying shockwave. However, the hand subdued the shockwave with another quick squeeze.

All eyes landed on the figure before Ye Guan.

He was none other than Emperor Yong of the Fourth Heaven.

The Coffin Emperor's expression was grave. The man was someone not to be trifled with, and it was obvious from the air he was exuding. Coffin Emperor felt a pang of relief that he hadn't attacked Ye Guan earlier. The young man had far too many powerful allies.

Tianwu Xin's face darkened in fury, and she clenched her fists tightly in frustration. Another expert has decided to help Ye Guan. Are they stupid?

Dao Emperor Zhaowu stared at Emperor Yong and chuckled. "Interesting."

Without hesitation, Emperor Yong raised his hand and pressed down fiercely.

Boom!

Tianwu Xin and the Coffin Emperor were forced to retreat in disbelief and fear.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu smiled and waved his sleeve.

Boom!

The Ascension World itself shook violently and was further devastated.

The crowd fled in terror, trying to escape the chaos.

In an instant, Dao Emperor Zhaowu appeared before Emperor Yong. He smiled, and his eyes gleamed with excitement as he said, "I never imagined that there would be such a strong expert in the Nine Heavens. This is going to be fun."

Dao Emperor Zhaowu pointed forward with two fingers, and a massive cage appeared in front of them.

“Come on.” Dao Emperor Zhaowu said, stepping into the cage.

Emperor Yong was about to follow when Ye Guan spoke up, "Senior, wait."

Emperor Yong turned, and Ye Guan offered him the Qingxuan Sword.

However, Emperor Yong shook his head. "This sword doesn’t suit my Dao. Keep it and use it wisely."

With that, Emperor Yong entered the cage.

When Emperor Yong stepped inside the cage, Dao Emperor Zhaowu’s smile grew wider. "Let's see what you're made of."

Dao Emperor Zhaowu opened his right hand, and a star field appeared in his palm. With a powerful punch, he sent a wave of star force toward Emperor Yong.

The star force was so powerful that even the people outside the cage could feel its power. Their faces turned pale, and they backed away in fear. Even the ancestors of the Wuma Clan and the Tianwu Clan revealed grim expressions.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu was a legendary figure who was far stronger than anyone in the Path Creation Realm. A single punch from him was enough to kill ten Path Creation Realm elites.

Ye Guan was solemn as well.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu was far stronger than he had ever imagined.

Tianwu Xin became more and more excited at the sight. This was the kind of power she had been hoping to see. Her gamble had paid off, and she knew that she'd be remembered as the one who had brought her clan back to glory.

However, the Coffin Emperor cast a contemptuous gaze at her.

Jimo Lan watched as the Dao Emperor Zhaowu unleashed a powerful punch.

She sighed deeply as she made up her mind. She was not going to take anyone's side. Although Ye Guan was immensely talented and undoubtedly had powerful allies, she knew that they couldn’t match Dao Emperor Zhaowu.

There was also the fearsome Evil Dao Alliance. In other words, helping Ye Guan now would be nothing short of suicidal. Jimo Lan glanced at Ye Guan in the distance, and she revealed a conflicted face.

She had high hopes for Ye Guan, but his enemies were simply too strong.

As Dao Emperor Zhaowu delivered another punch, Emperor Yong clenched his right hand tightly.

Boom!

A giant Great Dao rune formed in his palm, and he threw a powerful punch capable of shattering Daos. When Emperor Yong’s fist collided with Dao Emperor Zhaowu’s fist, the cage around them shattered beneath their strength.

Boom!

The cage couldn’t take it anymore and exploded, sending shockwaves in all directions. Everyone’s faces changed drastically as they scrambled to retreat.

Those who were too slow were obliterated on the spot, and their souls were dissipated into nothingness by the shockwaves.

Ye Guan was forced to retreat a few kilometers away. He gazed at the distant battlefield, shaken by the sight of the fight.

Li Suifeng’s expression was equally grim. “These two are on a level far beyond anything I’ve ever seen.”

They were too strong—overwhelmingly strong.

Everyone’s eyes were glued to the chaotic space up above. Just then, another explosion reverberated, and two distinct shockwaves burst out.

Alarmed, everyone retreated again, unwilling to confront the deadly force.

Li Suifeng stepped in front of Ye Guan and waved his sleeve, releasing a wave of sword light that blocked the oncoming shockwaves.

A thought jumped to Ye Guan’s mind, and he whipped around to look at the Ascension Stele. It still stood tall between heaven and earth, untouched even by the fierce power of Emperor Zhaowu and Emperor Yong.

Incredible! Ye Guan was astonished. The existing Great Dao is more powerful than I had imagined.

Pulling his thoughts back, Ye Guan looked at the battlefield. A myriad of burning star projections had appeared amidst the chaos.

“What's that?” Ye Guan muttered in surprise.

“It’s Dao Emperor Zhaowu…” Li Suifeng said gravely.

Ye Guan frowned and saw Emperor Yong standing in a starry sky filled with burning stars. Each burning star was a manifestation of a Dao, and as the Daos burned, they turned into fist imprints that rained down on Emperor Yong.

In the blink of an eye, millions of fist imprints hurtled toward Emperor Yong.

However, Emperor Yong remained calm in the face of the onslaught. He opened his palm and clenched it tightly.

Boom!

A mysterious, illusory world appeared in his palm, and it was filled with countless ancient runes. These runes formed into a single powerful fist imprint.

When it took shape, a fierce light flashed in Emperor Yong's eyes. Then, he punched forward and shouted, “Annihilation Fist!”

Boom!

The countless runes exploded, flooding the starry sky with an ancient aura.

Everything plunged into darkness, and everyone felt the world collapsing around them. They retreated frantically in an effort to escape the devastation.

Li Suifeng pulled Ye Guan aside as he unleashed his sword intent to shield both of them. However, even Li Suifeng’s sword intent couldn’t withstand the terrifying shockwaves, and he was forced to retreat with Ye Guan in tow.

They only stopped upon retreating a few kilometers away.

Li Suifeng’s face became more serious than ever. He looked up at the battlefield and saw that the Ascension World had become a pitch-black abyss.

Ye Guan turned to the right and saw the Ascension Stele standing firm, seemingly untouched.

Incredible! Ye Guan was in awe. The strength of the two cultivators was beyond the Path Creation Realm, but the Ascension Stele was still standing.

Everyone around them had stopped fighting, as there was no longer any point to their fight. The outcome of the battle between the Dao Emperor Zhaowu and Emperor Yong would decide everything.

Li Han’s expression was just as serious as everyone else. He knew Dao Emperor Zhaowu was strong, but he had never imagined that he'd be this terrifying.

Luckily, Emperor Yong seemed to be as formidable as Dao Emperor Zhaowu.

Amidst the darkness, Emperor Yong and Dao Emperor Zhaowu faced each other. Dao Emperor Zhaowu laughed and remarked, “Good, very good!”

Emperor Yong glanced at him indifferently.

“You’re not too weak after all. Just the right challenge for me.” Dao Emperor Zhaowu grinned. With that, he took a step forward, and everything suddenly froze.

Time itself seemed to stop as spacetime around Dao Emperor Zhaowu congealed in the blink of an eye. The spacetime of the Ascension World froze, and no one could move at all. Everyone’s faces changed, and fear gripped their hearts.

Ye Guan’s face also changed drastically. He opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared, shattering the mysterious force around him. He looked up at the battlefield where everything had frozen.

Before he could do anything, Emperor Yong suddenly clenched his right hand, and a fierce light flickered in his eyes. He raised his hand and slammed it down with a roar, “Break!”

Crack!

The mysterious energy shattered, and a crisp noise akin to breaking glass echoed in everyone's ears. Soon, everything returned to normal.

Emperor Yong leaped into the air, and his fists carried the momentum of mountains as he swung them toward Dao Emperor Zhaowu.

Boom!

The ground beneath Dao Emperor Zhaowu caved in, transforming into an abyss that swallowed down everything, including Dao Emperor Zhaowu himself.

Everything became silent.

Boom!

However, it was just for a brief moment as a white light shot up from the abyss.

A terrifying aura sent Emperor Yong flying tens of thousands of meters away.

Everyone’s faces changed when the aura struck them. Some of the closest cultivators in the Path Creation Realm were forced to their knees by the overwhelming pressure.

Li Suifeng pulled away Ye Guan and retreated a few more kilometers away. His face was filled with fear as he stared at the distant abyss.

The ancestor of the Tianwu Clan, Tianwu Shi, stared intently at Dao Emperor Zhaowu. With a grave expression, he exclaimed, “Half-Step Path Annihiliation Realm!”

Dao Emperor Zhaowu looked at Emperor Yong and smirked, “I'm just a half-step Path Annihilation Realm expert, but I'm already invincible here.

"If I were to take another step, except for the Tianxing Civilization, who could stand against me?"

A half-step Path Annihilation Realm cultivator was strong enough to suppress everyone, making them feel like they were suffocating. Everyone looked at Dao Emperor Zhaowu in disbelief and fear.

Just then, Emperor Yong turned to Ye Guan and said, “Young Master Ye, please don’t forget what I asked of you.”

With that, he turned and approached Dao Emperor Zhaowu. “I have been imprisoned by the Great Dao, and my strength is less than a third or fourth of my peak, but so what?

"I really want to see just how powerful a Path Annihilation Realm expert is.”

Boom!

Emperor Yong's fleshy body erupted into flames.
