Chapter 1185 -1134-1135 Sword Master of Divine Might Yin-Yang and Five Elements Magic Sword
Even after a fierce battle that left the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting’s essence, qi, and spirit somewhat wilted, he showed no sign of retreat. His unshakeable belief fortified his will, rendering it indestructible.
He was like a lone wolf; though solitary in figure, he kept a firm gaze on the Da Xue Country Lord, seeking for any trace of weakness.
Should the Da Xue Country Lord reveal the slightest flaw, he would launch his most ferocious attack, showing no mercy.
As a swordsman who had risen through slaughter as an Independent Practitioner, the resilience and decisiveness of the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting were extraordinary. Perhaps fighters like him possessed an even stronger will than those born of powerful sects, precisely because they had no path of retreat.
Time trickled away, and impatience became increasingly evident on the face of the Da Xue Country Lord. Yet, he still did not take immediate action.
After all, he was waiting for his opponent to give up, for him to lose his last breath. By doing so, the Lord could conserve energy for the subsequent battles.
At any other time, the Da Xue Country Lord, with his domineering nature, would have employed thunderous methods to obliterate the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting, should he dare such insolence, just to uphold his own sovereign dignity.
However, at this moment, the Da Xue Country Lord still endured it, because his true adversary was not the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting before him, nor the Sword Master of Divine Might, who, despite having obtained the Divine Tree’s fruit, had sustained severe injuries.
His real opponents were the other Supreme Overlords who, after seizing the fruit of the Divine Tree, would swarm towards him with intent to kill. Those were the ones truly obstructing him from possessing the fruit of the Divine Tree.
But while the Da Xue Country Lord didn’t make a move, neither did the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting. One reason was the lack of visible flaws, and the other was that he aimed to delay, for the sake of buying the Sword Master of Divine Might more time to heal.
The two of them were in a standoff, the aura of the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting growing fainter, like a candle in the wind that might go out at any moment.
The Emperor Robe of the Da Xue Country Lord billowed, his pale and long hand gripping the hilt at his waist as Sword Intent flowed and climbed continuously, as if marshaling a lethal blow.
This strike would surely be earth-shattering.
A cold light flickered in the eyes of the Da Xue Country Lord, his expression becoming cold and grim.
He was growing weary of waiting and did not want to continue any longer.
“Heavenly divine sword, annihilate the heavens and earth!” The Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting surged forth, his terrifying will to fight piercing the skies. The divine sword in his hand erupted with peerless sword light, slashing towards the Da Xue Country Lord.
Destroying all in its path, shattering the vault of heaven.
This was the pinnacle killing move derived from the Sword Path of the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting–with this strike being his most brilliant, a desperate attack ready to burn both jade and common stone alike.
The Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting knew that even at his peak strength, he stood little chance against a Supreme Strong like the Da Xue Country Lord, let alone now, weakened by heavy injuries.
So rather than prolong the duel, it made more sense to leverage his remaining strength and release his most dazzling strike, which held a slim chance of success.
Seeing this sword move, a trace of surprise flickered through the eyes of the Da Xue Country Lord, his features changing slightly.
“Die!”
Instead of drawing his divine sword, the Da Xue Country Lord unleashed a palm attack.
Terrible force erupted from him as countless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi gathered, roiling around him. Even heaven and earth quaked under the fearsome power he wielded.
In an instant, an overwhelming oppression flooded everyone’s hearts.
The sky, which was supposed to be in the midst of autumn, suddenly dipped in temperature as if plunged into harsh winter.
In a flash, a Chi Dragon thousands of feet long rose behind him, coiling in the sky, eclipsing the sun, dimming the heavens, trembling mountains.
Countless ice crystals swirled around him; with his palm thrust, they transformed into a Chi Dragon that howled toward the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting, as if to swallow him whole.
The might was enormous, shaking both heaven and earth.
This inherited skill of the Da Xue Ancient Country, now in the hands of the Da Xue Country Lord, displayed an unimaginable power, earth-shaking.
Boom!
The divine sword shattered, and the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting, a supreme figure on the Sword Path, fell by the hand of the Da Xue Country Lord.
“No! Xue Wuji, I will not rest until one of us is dead!”
A cry of sorrow was followed by an enraged curse that resounded through heaven and earth, then a sword slashed from afar.
Xue Wuji was the given name of the Da Xue Country Lord.
The one who spoke was none other than the Sword Master of Divine Might, who had been healing nearby.
As many had surmised, the Sword Master of Divine Might was recuperating in the vicinity. For if not, the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting would not have fought to his death to obstruct, and the Sword Master of Divine Might could not have healed in peace.
At the moment the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting struck, the Sword Master of Divine Might sensed that final, desperate Sword Intent. He knew that something must have forced the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting to deploy such a move in a do-or-die effort.
The healing Sword Master of Divine Might, faced with the peril of his brother-in-arms, the Sword Master of Heaven Uplifting, immediately ceased his healing to prepare to come to the rescue.
Just as one pledges to accompany his lord through life and death, so too must he repay with his life.
Though the chance of Becoming Immortal comes but once in ten thousand years and losing this opportunity for the fruit of the Divine Tree meant that seeking another chance to certify the Tao and become immortal was uncertain or perhaps forever lost,
