Chapter 944: Chapter 21: Heavenly Sword (3)
This matter seems not to affect their Feixian Star, but preparations are still necessary.
…
Meanwhile, in the Shattered Star Sacred Land.
The Shattered Star Sacred Land, including the Shattered Star Saint Master Yuanhua, comprises ten Saint Emperors, making it more formidable than Feixian Star.
Several Saint Emperors carried injuries, but none were too severe.
“Even a declining Saint Emperor’s final outburst can be terrifying, fortunately, we were prepared.”
“Regardless, the hunt was successful, and the outside entities must be utterly shocked…”
Hunting a Twelve Realm Saint Emperor is a matter of pride for the Saint Emperors of the Shattered Star Sacred Land, even though they acted collectively in this hunt.
But it must be noted that only four Saint Emperors actually made a move, while the others were on standby.
Before long, Yuanhua appeared, saying: “This time was a success, but things are far from over. Make your adjustments quickly; soon, it will be time for the next one. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find them later.”
Everyone naturally dared not oppose Yuanhua’s suggestion and respectfully replied, “Yes, Holy Master.”
Of course, someone did ask, “Holy Master, what if our actions are exposed?”
Yuanhua’s voice was emotionless: “So what if we’re exposed? No one would dare cause trouble, they would just retreat further into their shells.”
The group was momentarily stunned but then relaxed completely.
Indeed, so what if they are exposed? Even among top factions, he will not fear, unless three or more top factions join forces, but that is impossible.
They also settled down, listening to Yuanhua’s arrangements.
As they were choosing their next target, Wang Sheng used his spatial abilities to continuously lock onto several locations mentioned by Long Yue.
“Xuan Tian World, Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor… Qinghong Star, Pengyu Saint Emperor…”
Long Yue provided the locations of five Saint Emperors whose life spans were nearing their end.
Some of these were well-known, while others were secretly hidden.
But invariably, their life spans were nearing an end, and their strength was beginning to decline, making them likely targets.
Aside from this, to prevent unexpected incidents, he also kept an eye on numerous Saint Emperors who had fixed residences and rarely left, as they could also be targets.
Upon locating them, he began to wait.
“If it truly is the Shattered Star Sacred Land, then they undoubtedly would not delay and would surely wish to open a passage soon… wait ten years, and if there is no action, then head to the Xuan Tian Star Domain!”
Because Wang Sheng gave significant attention to several places.
As expected, the Twelve Realm, millennia-living Saint Emperors, naturally noticed anomalies.
Or rather, even if there weren’t anomalies, they didn’t want their twilight years to be marred by assassinations.
Some made secret contacts.
“Qiong Hua is still unlucky, facing misfortune in later years after exchanging treasures with me, saying they wanted to prepare more for their successor!”
“Which faction is responsible, aren’t they afraid of hostility from all sides?”
“Hostility? What if those taking action don’t fear hostility?”
“…”
“Sigh, let’s move, to avoid being found when the time comes…”
Ultimately, of the four aging Saint Emperors, three chose to leave their chosen burial sites.
They were facing death, and they didn’t want to die unexplained, leaving everything unprepared.
Only one Saint Emperor took no action.
The Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor!
He merely went to a desolate planet near his original world, not hiding himself at all.
Seemingly deliberately exposing himself.
Moreover, Sword Intent surged around him, like a supreme sword about to be unsheathed, ready to cut down everything.
The originally declining strength seemed to regain some, becoming peak condition.
Wang Sheng’s attention was also focused more on the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor.
Not only him, but many factions also focused on the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor, knowing that he was waiting for the forces that killed the Qiong Hua Saint Emperor to arrive.
Waiting for them to come.
“Holy Master, do we need to change our target? Many strong ones are focusing on the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor…” inquired a Saint Emperor from the Shattered Star Sacred Land.
Yuanhua, showing no change in expression, said, “Change? Why change when we’ve been invited by the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor himself? Are we supposed to be afraid? As for exposure, then let it be exposed. The old place will fall into chaos, so let us be the ones to start it.”
“Yes!”
Time passed, a month since the fall of Qiong Hua Saint Emperor.
The Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor had been waiting for over half a month, nurturing his sword and gathering strength.
On this day, he opened his eyes.
“Finally here? I almost thought you were scared!”
At the same time, a voice came: “The illustrious Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor’s invitation cannot be ignored by us.”
As soon as the words fell, Yuanhua Saint Emperor appeared with a group.
They did not hide, appearing openly.
The Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor said: “So it is indeed you, though I know not your purpose, but if you wish to claim my life, be prepared to have your teeth shattered.”
Even in the face of Yuanhua, he showed no fear.
Yuanhua was indifferent: “Is that so?”
He then waved his hand, releasing a massive ring.
The ring erupted with roars, enveloping the nearby stretch of starry sky.
At this moment, Wang Sheng, hidden in the shadows, was alerted by the ring: “Spatial powers, similar to the Secret Treasure controlled by the Shattered Star Sacred Land? Used to sever space, no wonder no one discovered anything; not a trace from Qiong Hua Saint Emperor was transmitted.”
The Shattered Star Sacred Land’s Oath Secret Treasure could sever time, erasing it completely.
While now, this ring merely turned time into space, with similar functions, the Shattered Star Sacred Land used this ability to seal everything.
“A matched secret treasure… what a pleasant surprise…”
