It was fast, just far too fast. The sword seemed to have travelled from another dimension. As soon as it appeared, it shone with dazzling light that was enough to make the world pale in comparison. It turned into a streak of light and shot towards the ground below with unimaginable speed.
Immediately, sword intent surged. It was terrifying, and the entire Nine Clouds Plane seemed to be enveloped by the supreme sword intent.
Many ancient existences who were in seclusion across the Nine Clouds Plane were roused. They looked in the direction of the sword Qi as shock filled their faces.
"What terrifying sword Qi. I- it's the Celestial Sword Saint from the Desolate Plane …"
"It's the Celestial Sword Saint. The Celestial Sword Saint is actually bold enough to attack the Heaven-splitting clan. I- he's just too crazy …"
"The Heaven-splitting Ancestor is a peak expert only second to Grand Exalts. Is the Celestial Sword Saint so powerful that he doesn't fear the Heaven-splitting Ancestor …"
"A sword has crossed the distance of galaxies and directly attacked the Nine Clouds Plane from the Desolate Plane. The Celestial Sword Saint is even more powerful and terrifying than I imagined him to be …"
Many peak experts sighed in amazement from various places on the Nine Clouds Plane. They hovered in the air as they stared at the Heaven-splitting clan from afar.
The protective formations of the Heaven-splitting clan had already risen up, enveloping the entire clan. The Heaven-splitting Ancestor suddenly vanished from the pavilion as well. When he reappeared, he was outside the protective formations of the Heaven-splitting clan, where the sword had to pass through.
The Heaven-splitting Ancestor's bearing was otherworldly. Even though he did not give off any presence as he hovered in the air, he gave off the presence that could control everything in the world.
It was as if he had already stood above the world and surpassed everything. He had become the laws of the world and could control the operation of the laws.
Of course, this was merely a feeling. It was a concept that appeared naturally when one comprehended the Laws of Heaven and Earth to an extremely profound level. He was still a small step away from the supreme realm of becoming a part of the Heavenly Dao.
The flow of time on the entire Nine Clouds Plane seemed to become abnormally slow at that moment. After the Heaven-splitting Ancestor appeared in the sky, the flow of time on the Nine Clouds Plane seemed to be affected as well. The laws of the world seemed to change, causing the Celestial Sword Saint's sword to seem slow.
Wherever the Heaven-splitting Ancestor went, the laws there would change with him. With a single thought, he could influence the order of the world. With a single thought, he could create new laws. With a single thought, he could turn an entire region into his territory. He was extremely powerful.
This was the strength that was second only to Grand Exalts.
However, the Celestial Sword Saint was not weak either. His sword possessed the power and will of the Celestial Sword Saint, making it seem like the Celestial Sword Saint had personally arrived. The sword condensed the Laws of the Sword as it clashed with the Heaven-splitting Ancestor.
"Whoosh!"
The sword light was like a river of stars. It pierced through all obstacles and arrived above the Heaven-splitting Ancestor's head.
No matter how the Heaven-splitting Ancestor controlled the Heavenly Daos of the world to stop it, it was to no avail.
A gleam of light flashed through the Heaven-splitting Ancestor's eyes. His expression remained unchanged as he slowly raised his hand.
He seemed to raise his hand slowly, but it was actually extremely fast. This was a phenomenon caused by the interference of the Laws of Space and Time.
At that moment, the Celestial Sword Saint's sword was grabbed by the Heaven-splitting Ancestor. Energy and laws condensed in the Heaven-splitting Ancestor's hand, wrapping around the Celestial Sword Saint's sword with extreme power.
Afterwards, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor suddenly pulled his hand back. Immediately, the light of laws appeared, and all the energy in the surroundings seemed to fuse into his hand. A terrifying power that could destroy the world condensed in a single instance, wanting to trap the Celestial Sword Saint's sword.
At that moment, the sword shone brightly as the Celestial Sword Saint's figure seemed to appear. The sword intent of the Three Lives Sword God suddenly erupted as it clashed intensely with the Heaven-splitting Ancestor.
Boom!
High up in the sky, a dull rumbling sound came. The two supreme powers collided, causing the rules to tremble.
The sword Qi on the sword shattered, and countless streaks of light shot out in all directions like a dense rain. They ripped through space and shot towards the ground below with devastating power.
"Crack!" The Heaven-splitting Ancestor's first bellow seemed to represent the will of the world. With that, spatial cracks appeared out of nowhere one after another. They were densely packed, blotting out the sky. It was a shocking, terrifying, and magnificent sight. It was as if the entire sky was collapsing.
Every single crack appeared where the sword Qi had to pass through. They were like huge mouths that devoured everything.
As for the scattered rain of swords, they disappeared after entering the cracks.
In the end, all the sword Qi was devoured. The rain of sword Qi that was enough to cause a disaster on the Nine Clouds Plane was nullified in such a simple manner.
The Celestial Sword Saint's sword flew out of the Heaven-splitting Ancestor's hand. It shone with dazzling light. It ripped through the space of the Nine Clouds Plane and vanished.
The sword did not launch a second attack after retreating from a single strike.
The Heaven-splitting Ancestor remained calm. He stared at the sword that had left and did not continue to attack. If one paid close attention, they would discover that a faint, bloody mark had appeared on his hand.
The Heaven-splitting Ancestor, who was only second to Grand Exalts, had actually been injured by the Celestial Sword Saint's attack.
Even though his injuries were not heavy, only superficial wounds, it was still shocking enough.
"Celestial Sword Saint, since you've obtained the Three Lives Sword God's legacy, I'll give you face and wait three years," the Heaven-splitting Ancestor said slowly as he stared at where the sword had vanished. He was calm and emotionless.
As he said that, on the distant Desolate Plane.
The one hundred thousand feet tall figure formed by the endless sea of clouds let out the same voice.
Not only were all the peak experts on the Nine Clouds Plane surprised by the Heaven-splitting Ancestor's concession, but even the peak experts who had gathered around the Sword God Mountains on the distant Desolate Plane, ready to see how the Heaven-splitting Ancestor would suppress the Celestial Sword Saint, were extremely surprised and shocked.
The Celestial Sword Saint had almost caused the Heaven-splitting Ancestor's sea of clouds to collapse. Not only was this a provocation to the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, the strongest expert below Grand Exalt, but the Heaven-splitting Ancestor actually did not pursue the matter.
Such an outcome surprised all of them.
"It looks like the Celestial Sword Saint is powerful enough for the Heaven-splitting Ancestor to take him seriously …"
"The Celestial Sword Saint has obtained a Grand Exalt's legacy. Although he might not be able to reach Grand Exalt's level, he'll be able to reach the Heaven-splitting Ancestor's level at the very least. Clearly, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor doesn't want to offend the Celestial Sword Saint over such a small matter …"
"Indeed, it's really irrational to provoke such a powerhouse over such a small matter …"
