Chapter 1879 - 194: Not Second Under Heaven, But First

Outside the Royal Capital City skies.

As that sword was drawn, a rift appeared.

The sound of the sword’s song resonated clearly and intensely, like a dragon’s roar in the nine heavens, like a thunderclap bursting forth.

That sound echoed in all directions, sometimes seemingly from the heavens above, sometimes as if from the depths of the underworld, and sometimes resounding simultaneously from all four corners, causing the earth and sky to vibrate in unison.

The sound of the sword song instantly shook the minds of all the powerful in the city, their Divine Souls in turmoil, consciousness blurred, in utter confusion.

The next moment.

Clang—

The long sword left the scabbard, its presence even more resonant, akin to the cry of dragon and phoenix, reverberating through the lands.

Then, the sword light suddenly emerged, a white arc traversing heaven and earth, illuminating the entire Royal Capital, even overshadowing the brilliance of the Great Sun above.

All things under heaven, under the reflection of this white arc, instantly turned a stark white, losing their color.

And at this moment, the sword scabbard being held was disintegrating inch by inch.

As if weathered for thousands of years, unable to endure any longer at this moment.

Witnessing this scene, Jiang Ning’s pupils slightly contracted.

He saw that the moment the sword was drawn, the other did not swing the sword, yet the blade spontaneously erupted with a powerful unmatched sword light.

Clearly, this sword stroke did not come from the hand of the White-robed Sword Immortal but was instead sealed within that sword and scabbard.

In his mind, the words of the White-robed Sword Immortal had just flashed by.

"The Immortal’s Sword, huh..." he murmured in his heart.

The world in his eyes was now occupied by that sword light crossing heaven and earth.

All things in existence had paled into insignificance because of the presence of this sword light.

At this moment.

Everyone looked up at the sky, their vision also dominated by this sword light, with nothing else in their eyes.

Boom—

With a loud rumble.

A vision of annihilation appeared in the void, a storm tearing open space, spreading wantonly with a sense of destruction.

Everyone’s gaze was firmly locked on a corner of the sky.

Because that place was where Jiang Ning was located.

Between breaths, the previously crazily expanding storm gradually returned to calm, and the vision gradually became clear.

The next moment.

The crowd then saw, in the center of the pitch-black storm, a strong golden light still persisted.

Then, as the storm receded, a golden figure about one zhang six tall stood majestically in the void.

The golden figure was entirely made of golden glaze, emanating a strong golden light.

Outside the golden light, layers of black and white mystical light spread.

Behind it, there was an even larger virtual shadow of a Primordial Spirit.

That shadow was three zhang tall, even more majestic and divine compared to the one zhang six tall Golden Body.

Witnessing Jiang Ning almost unharmed, the expression on the White-robed Sword Immortal’s face immediately changed greatly.

Bringing the Immortal’s Sword was his strongest means.

But this sword falling upon Jiang Ning’s body clearly did not see the effect he wanted.

Although he did not see Jiang Ning beneath the golden figure, from the still blazing and intense aura, he could feel that Jiang Ning’s state was unaffected.

"Unconquerable!" the thought arose in his mind, and he was ready to retreat.

On the other side.

Jiang Ning was still somewhat surprised in his heart.

This lying Immortal’s Sword, though with immense momentum, did not give him a sense of threat.

Using the one zhang six Golden Body, still to avoid capsizing due to carelessness.

After all, this is the Immortal’s Sword, not an ordinary sword.

"It seems my strength is stronger than I previously estimated!"

The thought flashed across his mind, his gaze focused.

"Since that’s the case, there’s no need to waste time anymore!"

"With no Immortals emerging, no one can threaten me now!"

With that thought settled, his form moved accordingly.

Boom—

Heaven and earth shook together, and the tall figure instantly turned into a golden arc, rushing straight towards the White-robed Sword Immortal.

"Not good!" The expression on the White-robed Sword Immortal’s face immediately changed greatly, a strong sense of mortal danger instantly looming over his head.

The next moment.

Buzz—

He pinched the sword technique, and the sound of the sword’s thunderous song echoed through the heavens and earth.

A strong sword light instantly enveloped him.

"Since you’re here, don’t think about leaving!" Jiang Ning’s voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Then, he saw the golden arc of light suddenly accelerate again without warning.

In just an instant, it crossed the heavy void.

Boom—

With a rumbling sound, a cloud of blood mist burst in the sky.

At this time, the golden arc of light only stopped its form behind the blood mist, revealing a tall silhouette.

Jiang Ning raised his hand forward.

Buzz—

A sword song resonated, a streak of sword light tearing through the air, appearing in his hand.

The long sword in his hand was precisely the one that the White-robed Sword Immortal had just sheathed.

"Cracked? Seems that sword bore a huge burden! The sword might be considered broken, but the material of the sword body should be excellent!" the thought flashed through his mind.

He then slightly opened his mouth, and the long sword in his hand instantly turned into a stream of light, swallowed into his abdomen.

After finishing this, he slowly descended towards below.

In that moment just now, he also made an initial attempt at the power of time.

With the manipulation of the river of time, his speed instantly surged by more than double.

With the sudden burst of extreme speed, the White-robed Sword Immortal didn’t have time to react and was instantly punched into a mist of blood by him.

Through this battle, he also gained a clearer understanding of his strength.

...

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

On a mountain outside the Royal Capital City.

A man in a dark yellow robe stood under a large tree with lush branches and leaves.

This man was precisely Xia Xuanyan.

At this moment, Xia Xuanyan was watching the slowly descending figure in the sky, his gaze extremely solemn.

"Unexpectedly, in an unnoticed moment, he has already possessed such strength! No wonder he repeatedly refused my recruitment before, it seems he was fooling me all along! With such a physique, such a body, Curse Killing Skill can’t harm him in the slightest!"
