Chapter 2708: Even Those of the Same Rank Are Useless Against My Sword

The celestial phenomena and the vision of the Divine Soul Path gradually faded.

The silhouette of the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor appeared in the starry sky, with a male body and female features, exuding a gentle yet unsettling aura; although attractive, the blend of attributes seemed as if two impossibly stunning individuals forcibly merged together.

This is the presence that left the Sword Dao of the Human Race without a Sword Emperor.

The disgrace has never been washed away.

Though the instinct of Great Sun Sword Cultivation to nourish enemies played a crucial role in this.

“Supreme Great Sun…”

The Nine-leaf Sword Emperor looked towards a Great Thousand World, towards the bustling crowds and trade fleets, spotting a green-clothed youth wandering leisurely.

The green-clothed youth withdrew his gaze from calculating world economic models and likewise looked at the newly ascended Nine-leaf Sword Emperor.

The instant the two Sword Emperors locked eyes, the heavens and time reversed!

Everything turned chaotic, turbulent, and surreal dream-like visions emerged, suppressing the control of the Divine Soul Path over the surrounding world.

This chaos appeared for just a moment, as everything swiftly returned to normal.

“Such dreams and reincarnation!”

The Nine-leaf Sword Emperor was instantly furious.

Clang!

He drew his sword and slashed in all directions, destroying billions of light-years of universe space, obliterating everything around him, and using the Divine Soul Path as a foundation to slice towards the essence of nearby voices to find the true enemy.

However, this terrifying sword found nothing.

It didn’t eliminate any ants or mortals; this horrifying sword did not result in death for any souled beings.

The Nine-leaf Sword Emperor’s heart sank, realizing he was facing a terrifying ancient Seven-character Immortal Scripture expert.

Ancient, in Immortal Path, signifies power, a profound accumulation of background within the same tier, widening gaps against peers; this is ancient.

Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor merely ascended to the Seven-character Immortal Scripture two million years earlier; for any Ancient Emperor, this period isn’t overly long, merely a brief time in life, not to mention the exceedingly challenging Word Immortal Scripture.

But two million years was enough for the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor to become ancient within the same tier!

The Nine-leaf Sword Emperor now felt like a teenage boy facing a well-armored adult.

Though of the same tier, the battle strength gap was intimidatingly immense.

In the terrifying sword that demolished the Star River, the green-clothed youth appeared again, looking at the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor.

“Is this emperor already within a dream realm?”

The Nine-leaf Sword Emperor said in a low voice.

Everything around appeared normal, yet he knew his Divine Soul had plunged into the Sword Intent of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, distorting the divide between reality and dream. Even if he spent thousands of years here, in the outside world, it was merely a moment in time.

In the brutal and perilous battlefield, being engulfed in a dream and unaware of time passing was as good as death.

“Nine-leaf.”

“You are very weak now.”

“Being of the same tier is not a reason to resist me.”

Jiang Ding calmly said.

“Same tier, not a reason…”

The Nine-leaf Sword Emperor’s eyes suddenly turned blood-red.

Same tier isn’t a reason; then what is the reason for victory?!!!

“Kill!”

“Supreme Great Sun, you foul bastard, this emperor shall give you a reason now!”

The Nine-leaf Sword Emperor shrieked purplishly, shaking the Star River.

In the void and Heavenly Dao, brimming eerie blue weeds emerged; the world was somber and fierce, even the Heavenly Dao trembled, many Tao Rules destabilized, and the Star River was enveloped by a soul-slashing life-extinguishing dreadful aura.

The Nine-leaf Sword Emperor wielded the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Swords.

The sword severs human souls, souls of all beings, the sword severs the souls of the earth and worlds, and ultimately the sword severs the Heavenly Dao and universe soul!

Souls are the beginning of all beings.

Without souls, the human world would be but a heap of blood and flesh, organic and inorganic matter, only through souls can these elements unite into life, forming thought and self-awareness; this is the origin of all life in the Endless Starry Sky.

As the sovereign of the Divine Soul Path, the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor’s entire Great Dao and established rules aim to erase beings from their essence!

Now, with his ascension to the Seven-character Immortal Scripture, touching the universe’s more essential authority, this sword became even more terrifying, as if it could extinguish all life in the Star River, especially the brilliant Divine Soul Fire of the green-clothed youth within the layers of dreams.

Unlike Emperor Huanggu, this Nine-leaf Sword Emperor truly ascended through his accumulation, pioneering an unprecedented Divine Soul Path, becoming the true master of his creation, fully mastering the Immortal Techniques and Swordsmanship of the seven-character level upon ascension because this path was his own creation.

Clang!

With countless eerie blue leaves, an unimaginably terrifying sword light that severs the universe soul flickered, and the green-clothed youth in layers of dreams along with his Divine Soul Fire instantly scattered and vanished without a trace, eradicated from the fundamental layer of the Divine Soul.

“This is…”

The Nine-leaf Sword Emperor did not reveal joy.

For he couldn’t determine whether he had truly killed the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, unsure of life or death; this sensation was even more powerless than defeat.

“Ignorance.”

“On the seven-character Immortal Scripture level, Nine-leaf, you are ignorant.”

In the void, once more came echoing tones from the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, resounding endlessly, grandly: “What does it matter if I give you one sword?”

“Not to mention one sword, a hundred swords, a thousand swords, ten thousand swords, what matter?”

“In the Immortal Path, no accumulation is in vain, within the million years past, all the Immortal Dao technological research breakthroughs I took part in, all the enhancements to Immortal Dao productivity limits I engaged in, all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures of utmost quality in the universe I consumed daily…”

“None of these things are illusionary.”

“All these things, all this accumulation is at least dozens if not hundreds of times yours!”

“These gaps won’t vanish merely due to being of the same tier, you must understand this reality, you must know.”

Words like blades, like swords, deeply pierced the Divine Soul of the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor.

“Break!”

The Nine-leaf Sword Emperor didn’t respond, only drew his sword, attacked, drew sword again.

The Grass Blade completely ignored the speaking Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor and instead slashed at the entire dreamscape, cut towards the whole End of Dharma Twilight World enveloping him, clearly demonstrating his extraordinarily acute combat insight, instantly zeroing in on the core of the battle.

Clang!

Clang clang clang!

Indeed, as the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor said, the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor executed one sword strike after another, targeted the surrounding dreamscape, even after delivering tens of thousands of swords, turning the nearby void hazy, the dreamscape nearly shattered, tearing, returning to the real universe.

However, ultimately, this dreamscape did not shatter.

Their Immortal Dao comprehension and mastery of Immortal Dao Technology bore gaps, though indeed of the same tier.

“Understand now?”

“Your folly.”

Jiang Ding slowly, without haste, said, as he gracefully unsheathed the Taiqing Flying Sword amid the clanging sounds.

“Kill kill kill kill!”

The Nine-leaf Sword Emperor finally locked onto the green-clothed youth’s true form, igniting the youthful body living its fourth life, unleashing multiple times more terrifying power cutting towards the green-clothed youth, even advancing the Great Dao in life or death, discerning deeper intricacies of the Divine Soul Path.

Then, the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor felt pain in his chest.

The body became rigid.

In utter disbelief, he glanced at his chest.

A Mystic Gold Flying Sword had somehow appeared, piercing the heart, and the insidious End of Dharma Sword Intent swiftly infiltrated the entire Immortal Body and Immortal Soul, controlling everything, able to execute this terrifying Sword Emperor at the mere thought.

It was execution.

Not killing.

“This sovereign grants you the chance to continue living.”

“If you choose not to live, that too is fine, irrelevant.”

Jiang Ding strode forward, gazing at his defeated and vulnerable foe, saying indifferently: “You can become this sovereign’s Immortal Ascension Ladder, lacking you, this sovereign can still ascend to immortality, no living being can hinder this sovereign from becoming immortal.”

“Especially a waste like you.”

Words echoed softly.

The green-clothed youth’s silhouette gradually disappeared.
