Chapter 999 - 999 Two Swords, Slaying the Mighty Figure
999 Two Swords, Slaying the Mighty Figure
Han Muye could never have imagined that he would see the third Nine Essence Sword Tower so quickly.
Before him stood a black-faced general dressed in golden armor, wielding a long sword that shimmered with brilliance. A golden sword tower hung high in the air, surging with sword intent.
The nine-story sword tower radiated layers of sword light.
“General Yangwei, Shao Yuan.”
Han Muye’s gaze landed on the general, his eyes revealing a profound depth.
“So, it was you who took action when the Divine Court collapsed.”
General Yangwei, Shao Yuan, was a direct disciple of the Divine Emperor Murong Zheng. With a sword tower in his hand and command over a large army, if he were in the Divine Court, he could have held out for at least a moment.
If the Divine Court had a moment of respite back then, they could have awaited reinforcements.
However, this General Yangwei’s body was now in the Endless Sea.
It was a body that had been taken over.
“Kid Han, you have a good opportunity.”
On the opposite side, the black-faced general spoke lightly, his voice clearly that of the Endless Heavenly Venerable.
The Endless Heavenly Venerable had taken over the body of General Yangwei, Shao Yuan, and turned it into a clone.
Shao Yuan was already a powerful figure in the Divine Court, his cultivation had reached the level of the Heavenly Venerable. But he perished here.
From this perspective, the one who had always been the most hidden was, in fact, this Endless Heavenly Venerable.
“Senior, are you trying to snatch the Nine Essence Tower from me?”
Han Muye raised his hand, and the same Nine Essence Tower appeared.
“Boom!”
In the Endless Sea, waves rose, shattering the surrounding void.
Even though they were separated by countless miles, the sky above the Scattered Stars Island was obscured by turbid waves.
Numerous cultivators gathered on the island, trembling as they gazed at the world outside the island.
Never before had the Endless Sea witnessed such a scene.
Shao Yuan, or rather, the Endless Heavenly Venerable, looked at the Nine Essence Tower in front of Han Muye, and a sword intent emerged from his body.
The Endless Heavenly Venerable raised his hand, and a long sword in his palm shimmered with golden radiance.
The brilliance of the flowing light covered the surrounding brightness.
Amidst the darkness, there was radiance in his palm.
As Han Muye looked at the flowing light of the long sword, a certain feeling arose in his heart.
“If you can defeat the sword in my hand and take the Nine Essence Sword Tower, you will have the qualification to continue cooperating with this divine lord.”
“But if you cannot win.”
A faintly imperceptible emotion permeated the Endless Heavenly Venerable’s voice.
“If you can’t win, I, the Heavenly Venerable, will refine your body, take hold of the Nine Essence Tower, and wield authority over the Nine Heavens.”
The Endless Heavenly Venerables was already the master of this dark realm, but now, he harbored thoughts of ruling the entire world, becoming the master of this realm!
He blocked Han Muye because of the sword tower in his hands and his identity as the inheritor of the Divine Emperor.
The long sword came face to face.
This was the sword of the mighty General Shao Yuan, and also the sword of the Endless Heavenly Venerable.
General Yangwei Shao Yuan’s swordsmanship was renowned even in the ancient Divine Court, and although the Endless Heavenly Venerable hadn’t heard much about his sword path, being able to suppress Shao Yuan meant his swordsmanship was undoubtedly exceptional.
This powerful being who had lived for countless millennia had plenty of time and energy to cultivate various martial arts and sword techniques.
The sword shimmered, heading straight towards Han Muye.
That sword carried an immense force capable of crushing a realm.
Han Muye looked at the sword before him, his expression solemn as he nodded, and the sword sheath behind him trembled.
TTwo swords, one green and one red, appeared in his hands.
“The Green Destiny Sword, bestowed by Master Mo Yuan.
“The Purple Flame Sword, Patriarch Tao Ran’s sword. It was obtained by chance at the Nine Mystic Mountain Sword Pavilion.”
The two swords intertwined, emanating a swordlight that sent shivers down one’s spine.
“Since I embarked on the path of cultivation, there have been moments of fear, hesitation, and wavering will in my heart.
“But I have never doubted that I am a sword cultivator.”
Swords.
Behind Han Muye, the nine-story sword tower condensed into a beam of sword light.
Holding the two swords, he took a step forward, and the swordlight behind him gathered, spanning millions of feet. With a single slash, the sword descended.
“Clang—”
Shao Yuan raised his sword to block the attack, then retreated thousands of miles.
With a single sword strike, an ancient sword master was forced to retreat!
This sword had traversed countless ages and surpassed numerous great sword cultivators.
Han Muye took another step, and the sword light from the tower behind him converged, infusing his body.
“From cultivating the Ancestral Return of 10,000 Swords, I comprehended One Sword to 10,000. Then, myriad swords became one, and all things became swords. To this day, all techniques are with me, and myriad swords follow my heart.
“I cultivate the Heavenly Cycle Sword Formation, from forming a formation with one sword, to turning the formation into the heavens, and then turning the heavens into a sword. The sword is me, and I am the sword.”
The sword light merged with his body. His Primordial Spirit and body condensed into a long sword. The sword slashed down and he moved forward.
Sword Dao, the dao of breaking and building.
Disregarding time and space, focusing only on the rise and fall of this realm, this sword reached its pinnacle!
“Slash—”
The long sword cut through the void and appeared in front of Shao Yuan.
Shao Yuan, thousands of miles away, widened his eyes and shouted loudly. He raised his hand, and the Nine Essence Sword Tower was thrown directly, meeting Han Muye head-on.
“Kill—”
The Nine Essence Sword Tower stirred up the waves in the Endless Sea. The murky water and the swordlight intertwined, forming a myriad feet of swordlight that clashed against Han Muye’s transformed sword.
Silent and invisible.
As the Nine Essence Sword Tower collided with Han Muye, it instantly dissipated.
“Shao Yuan, you—”
The furious shout of the Endless Heavenly Venerables resounded in the void.
Shao Yuan, General Yangwei, who stood in place, trembled. Eventually, a smile appeared on his face, and his entire form dissolved into nothingness, meeting Han Muye’s sword light head-on.
With a single sword, Shao Yuan, the General of Yangwei in the ancient Divine Court, and the Endless Heavenly Venerable’s clone in the Endless Sea, were both severed!
Before Han Muye, on top of the golden sword tower, a gentle voice sounded, “I’ve finally been waiting for you…”
The sword tower gently revolved and merged with the sword tower behind Han Muye.
The third Nine Essence Sword Tower!
Boundless golden light burst forth from Han Muye’s eyes as he let out a long roar. The raging waves in the Endless Sea were shattered, and the swordlight on his body illuminated the heavens and the earth, reaching the depths of the world!
