Chapter 1372
Chapter 1372: Chapter 1374: The First Challenge_1 Chapter 1372: Chapter 1374: The First Challenge_1 An Honorable Sovereign is a person who stands high above all in the universe, looking down on all sentient beings.
In the whole universe, there are only eight such people!
It was Lin Zhen’s first time facing an Honorable Sovereign, but he wasn’t afraid at all.
No matter who his opponent was, or how strong they were, Lin Zhen never backed down because of the opponent’s status.
The Heavenly Brilliance’s Qi Sword of the Gold Element Respected Status was not his exclusive skill.
Lin Zhen himself once swept thousands of troops in the Original World and Skyfire City with his Qi Sword.
For the first time in countless years, Heavenly Brilliance felt that his position was being strongly challenged.
…
Someone could actually rival him in the cultivation of the gold Qi, this made him feel threatened.
“The kid is seeking his own death!”
With murderous intent rising in his heart, Heavenly Brilliance fiercely counterattacked with his Gold Qi Sword!
The two golden Sword Qi fiercely collided.
A Qi Sword is quite different from a real weapon.
It could be said to be fragile, susceptible to breaking at any moment.
Yet it could also be said to be strong, with the ability to reassemble at any moment.
When a Qi Sword meets another Qi Sword, it all comes down to the owner’s Divine Power.
The two long swords cutting through space collided, not making a metallic clashing noise, but rather a booming sound like a drum.
!
The long swords in both people’s hands turned into tiny spots of starlight that scattered around.
The two people simultaneously stepped back, their faces changing color.
The simultaneous breaking of the swords!
This could only mean one thing, their Divine Powers were on par!
This reality made Heavenly Brilliance’s face extremely grim.
Not only is he a Sovereign, but he is a Respected Status amongst Sovereigns, with eight Gold Element Sovereigns under his control.
Such a person standing at the peak of the universe is actually on par with a person who is not a Sovereign in terms of Divine Power; what a blow to his dignity!
While his face was hard to behold, the other people breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Since he’s about as strong as Heavenly Brilliance, then this task is surely achievable.
If they all gang up on him, there will be someone who can kill him.
Hum~~~!
Both people simultaneously launched long swords from their hands again, quickly intertwining with each other.
They clashed at close quarters, the intense close combat fight has begun.
The longer the Qi Sword is, the more dispersed the power.
The swords in both their hands were only three feet long, a distance that could maximize their divine power.
Lin Zhen’s Divine Power was a hundred million and Heavenly Brilliance’s was about the same.
For Honorable Sovereigns, the minimum requirement of Divine Power is also one hundred million!
Heavenly Brilliance was just over one hundred million, but Lin Zhen’s Divine Power was used 100%, so he didn’t have any advantage.
When their strength was similar, it was all about combat skills!
In the battles of the Sovereign Level, endless sword light intersects, and the space is shattered in their battle.
The speed of their moves was so fast that it couldn’t be seen clearly.
There were only two bright sword lights, occasionally entwined, flashed apart like lightning, and collided like lightning.
The howling blade storm swept through hundreds of kilometers of space around Lin Zhen, and the mountains under Lin Zhen’s feet were constantly being flattened.
In the distance, the other Sovereigns were watching.
Next was a Wood Element Sovereign after Heavenly Brilliance.
This Sovereign named Ham was praying something in his mouth.
Slo, the Wind Element Sovereign who was scheduled to play third, asked, “Ham, what are you muttering?”
“I hope Heavenly Brilliance loses and that he and this unknown Martial Artist hurt each other badly.
In this way, I can finish this supreme task without even lifting a finger.”
Slo’s eyes turned, and he too started to mutter.
“What are you praying for?” asked Ham.
“I hope Wu Ming defeats Heavenly Brilliance while injured, and then defeats you while severely injured.
That way, I can benefit without doing anything.”
The two glared at each other, neither wishing for the other to prosper.
The fourth person to appear was the Fire-element Sovereign, who looked at them and snorted, “Foolish.
As Sovereign Strongmen, you’re relying on prayers?
To whom are you going to pray in this universe?
Is there anyone who can still protect us?”
The Tyrant Sovereign also scoffed in the distance, “Without the ambition to stand alone above heaven and earth, you’re destined to never reach the absolute peak.
Among the sovereigns, you two are mere bottom-dwellers.”
Ham and Slo stayed silent, a look of shame on their faces.
Even for the sovereigns, they had also started out as ordinary people.
Not everyone possesses an absolutely strong mind.
Nevertheless, they still wished for miracles, hoping that Heavenly Brilliance would lose.
In fact, this was the hope of a majority of the sovereigns.
**********
The battle finally started to change in the fifteenth minute.
Clusters of bright Sword Light rained down like a stormy wind and rain, all focusing on Lin Zhen.
At this moment, Lin Zhen had to admit that directly clashing with Heavenly Brilliance in this area wasn’t a wise choice.
As expected of a Honorable Sovereign, with Lin Zhen’s current capabilities, he was gradually falling behind.
Now, Lin Zhen had a clear understanding of his own strength.
A billion Divine Powers, roughly enough to contend with some of the Honorable Sovereigns.
However, his goal today was not to defeat a sovereign, but to survive.
This was the last day of the eighth world.
The opponents had forty-eight sovereigns, and Lin Zhen believed that they would not gang up on him until everyone had finished their rounds.
Because by then, it would be unclear who completed the supreme task.
In this process, those who were not Honorable Sovereigns or Special Sovereigns were not too challenging to deal with.
The real difficulties lay in the eight Honorable Positions and four Special Sovereigns.
Among the eight Honorable Positions, Gold Element Heavenly Brilliance, Thunder Sovereign, and Sovereign of Light were the hardest to deal with.
The real challenges numbered only seven.
If he pulled out all the stops, Lin Zhen was confident of defeating Heavenly Brilliance quickly.
But the battles that followed would be harder to fight as he not only had to win but control the time it took to secure the victory.
Simultaneously, Lin Zhen used the Dimensional Universe for calculations.
Where each difficulty lay, and their duration.
How long to spend on each difficulty for maximum efficiency.
Dragging it out today, past these eleven hours, would allow Lin Zhen to complete the survival task for this world.
It was all because the Cosmic Origin had clearly marked today as the last day in its task assignment, providing the sovereigns with ample time to plan and strategize.
Getting past this day was not so easy.
By the fifteenth minute, Lin Zhen knew this first battle was almost over.
He concentrated all his strength into his sword, aiming straight for Heavenly Brilliance’s face!
Invincible!
Along with his Martial Intent, this sword strike displayed formidable power!
Heavenly Brilliance lamented inwardly.
Although this unknown martial artist was young, his combat experience was seemingly no less than his own, the product of countless years of immersion.
While Heavenly Brilliance held a slight edge due to his superior mastery over the Qi Sword, he found it arduous to swiftly defeat his opponent.
Given the current situation, it was evident that his opponent was going all out.
If this continued, he was afraid he would struggle to triumph in the end, providing an opportunity for those who followed.
Heavenly Brilliance did not wish to be cannon fodder, so he chose to dodge, rather than go head on.
However, he never expected that this was precisely what Lin Zhen had planned!
The Qi Sword changed into a finger midway!
Chaos Tribulation Finger!
Lin Zhen’s Sovereign combat skill was impressively unleashed!
Heavenly Brilliance’s subtle evasion turned out to be his downfall, making it difficult for him to resist Lin Zhen’s finger.
Although he managed to block it, he couldn’t entirely deflect it.
