"How arrogant. Jianchen, I'd like to see who can save you today," Lankyris said coldly. Heavy killing intent appeared in his eyes, and he immediately attacked Jianchen. He crossed several hundred meters with a single step and instantly appeared before Jianchen. He directly slammed his hand towards Jianchen's head. Energy surged from his hand, shaking up the space there and causing pitch-black cracks to appear.
At the same time, the surrounding space froze. Lankyris controlled the space to imprison Jianchen, preventing him from escaping.
The lankyris attacked viciously and decisively. He wanted to kill Jianchen in a single strike and eliminate all future problems. This was because they had already fallen out with Jianchen. If they allowed Jianchen to continue growing like this, he would become an opponent that they could not suppress one day. When that happened, they would not be too far away from their doom.
At this moment, Lankyris had completely forgotten about the threat of the barrier spirit. He had already sensed that Ruijin and the other two were not nearby. Eliminating Jianchen was more important than anything else right now. He had even temporarily cast aside the powerful treasure of the world.
Just when Jianchen wanted to attack, a white figure suddenly flashed. The Holy Emperor of the Peng clan, Cangqiong, had barged into the space that Lankyris had locked down and blocked before Jianchen. With a wave of his hand, he sent a palm strike towards Lankyris with supreme energy, blocking the attack for Jianchen.
Terrifying ripples of energy immediately erupted as the two Saint Emperors clashed, wreaking havoc in the surroundings. The space in a radius of several thousand kilometers shattered and was reduced to darkness. All the volcanoes in a radius of several kilometers collapsed as red lava was thrown into the sky like a waterfall. It dyed the sky scarlet as a blood-red rain of lava began to fall.
In the distance, many of the Holy Emperor retreated. The shockwaves from the battle between the Holy Emperor and the others were enough to injure them. None of them wanted to be caught in the crossfire.
The volcano that Jianchen was standing on had also turned into nothingness. He used the sword light to protect his body as he floated in mid-air and retreated. He stared at Firmament in astonishment. He had never interacted with Firmament before. He really couldn't understand why Firmament would help him block the Tiger Emperor.
In the distance, King's eyes narrowed as he stared at the sky. A trace of viciousness appeared on his face.
Firmament's back was facing Jianchen. His silver hair was fluttering in the wind, and his white robe was fluttering in the wind created by the energy shockwaves. His face was peaceful, and there was no sadness or joy.
The Tiger Emperor's expression was as ugly as it could be. He said in an icy voice, "Cangqiong, what is the meaning of this?"
"Tiger Emperor, our four races are in danger of being wiped out. Our top priority is to stop the World of Forsaken Saints. We can't engage in internal strife or kill each other. That will only weaken our strength. At the same time, Jianchen's talent is extraordinary. He can be described as unprecedented. He'll become a Saint Emperor before long and strengthen our defenses. It's a joyous matter for our four races. It's best that we let go of our past grievances, "Firmament said calmly.
The Tiger Emperor did not waver at all. He growled, "Firmament, are you sure you want to protect him?" The Tiger Emperor had made up his mind to kill Jianchen. He also knew about Jianchen's talent, so he did not wish for Jianchen to become a Saint Emperor. This was because once Jianchen became a Saint Emperor, it would be the end of the Tiger Emperor as well.
"I'm thinking about the bigger picture," Firmament said righteously.
Jianchen's impression of Firmament immediately changed drastically. He clearly remembered that the Holy Emperor of the Peng clan, Firmament, had not taken part in the multiple attempts on his life or the fight for the Saints' Fruit. Yet, he was speaking up for Jianchen even at the risk of offending the other two Holy Emperors, which greatly improved Jianchen's impression of Firmament.
Suddenly, a tremendous pressure crushed down from the sky. Seeing how the Tiger Emperor was being held back by Firmament, Kaiser struck out without any hesitation. His right hand had been injured by the Ziying sword, so he used his left hand to attack. His left hand transformed into a powerful dragon claw, stabbing toward Jianchen's forehead with lightning speed.
Firmament became stern. He was unable to fend off two Holy Emperors by himself. Just when he wanted to flee with Jianchen using the World's Greatest Speed, the Tiger Emperor struck out at this crucial moment, preventing him from saving Jianchen.
With the three Holy Emperors leaving the Ziying sword, the other Holy Emperors all began to move. They no longer paid any attention to the battle between the Holy Emperors. Instead, they charged toward the Ziying sword and surrounded it. However, no one dared to touch the sword. Instead, they used various methods in an attempt to subdue it. There were even a few people who attempted to drip their blood onto the sword.
"Argh!" With a miserable cry, a Holy Emperor attempted to fuse a sliver of his soul into the Ziying sword, but the sliver was mercilessly destroyed. His soul was injured, and his face paled.
Jianchen's right hand glowed with a blinding white light. It radiated with a shocking amount of Sword Qi as it fearlessly met King's dragon claw.
"Ding!"
The dragon claw was very tough. When Jianchen's Sword Qi struck the dragon claw, the sound of metal clashing rang out. Then, a few drops of blood shot through the air. Each drop of blood contained powerful energy waves.
King's body trembled violently. He had a look of disbelief on his face. Jianchen had managed to injure his left hand. One of his fingers had a wound so deep that the bone could be seen. This greatly shocked him.
After all, he was the Holy Emperor of the Beast race. His original form was a mutated earth dragon. Whether it was his combat prowess or his physical defense, he was far superior to other magical beasts of the same level.
"What are you using?" King growled. He could tell at a glance that Jianchen was not a Holy Emperor. The only reason he could injure him was because of that powerful white light.
He had never seen such a strange and powerful energy before. However, there was something familiar mixed within it. It was like Sword Qi, but it was not Sword Qi.
"The Way of the Sword!" Jianchen replied emotionlessly. His face became even paler. With a wave of his hand, the Azulet swords that he had just forged immediately shot down from the sky as streaks of light. They moved as fast as lightning, arriving beside Jianchen in a single instance. They stuck to Jianchen's back in the shape of a cross.
Jianchen drew the Ziying sword from his back and channeled Chaotic Force into it. It immediately erupted with an extremely dazzling violet light, basically enveloping Jianchen's body. However, the violet light failed to harm Jianchen at all.
Whether it was the three Holy Emperors or the various Holy Emperors in the distance who wanted to subdue a sword, they were all dumbfounded at this sight. Disbelief filled their faces.
King, Lankyros, and the path lord's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. They understood the power of the two swords very well. It was impossible for Holy Emperors to subdue them. They were even certain that no one in the world could do anything to the two swords as long as Origin realm experts did not appear. However, at this moment, the two shocking swords were actually in Jianchen's hands obediently. The light that even the Holy Emperor could not block was unable to harm Jianchen. They found this hard to believe.
They even began to wonder if their eyes were playing tricks on them.
"How is this possible? How did you subdue these two supreme swords? Just how did you do it?" The path lord of carnal desires asked in shock.
"These swords were forged by me in the first place, so how can I subdue them?" Jianchen replied.
However, when his words entered the ears of the path lord, the Tiger Emperor, and the King, it was no different from a sudden clap of thunder exploding in their minds. It shocked them so much that they were stunned.
The master of the swords. I never thought that the Tian Yuan Continent would have such a great senior. My brave Dwarven King, the current patriarch of the dwarves, Han Ke, must ask him for guidance on forging weapons. Once our dwarves grasp such a heaven-defying method, it'll be a new era of prosperity. It'll usher in a new era of forging weapons, "Han Ke said excitedly. His face had become bright red.
The other experts of the Hundred Races remained silent. They all stared at Jianchen. They had no idea about Jianchen's background. All they knew was that no one in the world was his opponent now that such powerful swords were in the hands of a young man.
"Just two swords can injure the Holy Emperor. Coupled with the young man's personal strength … This person cannot be defeated. His opponent is not even our world, but the World of Forsaken Saints," sighed the elf. The expert of the Elf Clan exclaimed. She felt that this young man, who had two peerless divine swords, had suddenly become somewhat terrifying.
The other experts of the Hundred Races nodded silently, agreeing with the elf's words.
Suddenly, the clear thrum of a sword alerted everyone. It was a long, drawn-out hum that rang through the surroundings. The Ziying Sword's sword Qi surged into the sky as it shone with a violet light. It was as bright as the sun and moon, illuminating the entire world. It seemed to have dyed the entire region violet.
Jianchen struck out. He used the Illusory Flash and shot toward Kaiser as a blur. He stabbed out with the Ziying Sword, stabbing toward Kaiser's chest as a violet bolt of lightning.
The moment he struck out, Jianchen seemed to have fused with the Ziying Sword in his hand. He was the sword and the sword was him. The two had become one, becoming one.
Kaiser's face changed drastically. He knew extremely well just how powerful the Ziying Sword was. He feared the two swords very much, so he did not dare to receive them. He wanted to dodge.
However, to his shock, he discovered that his presence had been locked onto. He could not dodge no matter what because Jianchen's speed had surpassed the Illusory Flash after fusing with the sword. He turned into a violet streak of light, just like a violet bolt of lightning. He was unbelievably fast.
Kaiser roared at the sky. Fine scales appeared on his body as he transformed into a half-human, half-dragon form. At the same time, he used his claws to block the attack.
Magical beasts rarely used weapons, and Kaiser was even more so. His body was the best armor, and his claws were the sharpest weapons.
The violet light stabbed into Kaiser's claws. Kaiser's tough claws were unable to stop it at all. They were as fragile as tofu before the violet light. The violet light pierced through Kaiser's claws like a hot knife through butter. In the end, it pierced through Kaiser's chest, leaving behind an almost undetectable wound.
The violet light did not stop because of this. Instead, it did not slow down at all, continuing toward Lankyros with an unstoppable force. It pierced through his body and also left behind a shallow mark on his chest.
