"So powerful!" Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji were shocked. Their eyes narrowed to the size of needles as their hearts trembled.
Among the three of them, Zhou Zhidao was a First Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, while Tong Wuming and Lieyan Wuji were both Second Heavenly Layer Grand Primes. Their strength was basically enough to reign supreme on the Cloud Plane. Just a stomp of their feet was enough to make the entire Cloud Plane tremble.
However, the energy that Gongsun Zhi had erupted with was so powerful that it made the expressions of Zhou Zhidao, Tong Wuming, and Lieyan Wuji, who were peak experts of the Cloud Plane, change. Their minds rumbled.
Moreover, what troubled them the most was that the expert who had suddenly appeared and shocked them was actually an enemy of the Martial Soul lineage and Jianchen.
Right now was a crucial moment for the destruction of the Four Symbols Alliance. Just when the protective formations of the Four Symbols Alliance were about to fall, just when the Four Symbols Alliance was about to be destroyed, such a powerful existence had suddenly appeared. This made Zhou Zhidao, Tong Wuming, and Lieyan Wuji's expressions become rather ugly.
At that moment, their subordinates all stopped attacking the Four Symbols Alliance.
Gongsun Zhi wielded Godslayer's sword as dazzling light enveloped him, illuminating the surroundings like a supreme god. He turned into a startling streak of light as he flew into outer space. Before he even approached the Martial Soul Mountain, he suddenly swung Godslayer's sword.
Immediately, the shocking power of Godslayer's sword erupted, causing the world to pale in comparison. The stars in the sky dimmed, and the cold, dark space was cleaved in half by the sword. A huge, pitch-black crack appeared, devouring all light.
As Godslayer's sword swung down, an extremely terrifying streak of light immediately shot towards the Martial Soul Mountain with unbelievable speed. It possessed a presence that could destroy everything in its path with earth-shaking power.
Wherever the streak of light passed by, the cold, dark space would tremble violently, collapsing piece by piece.
The power of the strike was so great that it surpassed the limits of what the space could withstand. Even the slightest ripple of energy was enough to shake up space.
"There's no need to worry about Gongsun Zhi. Although he possesses the Godslayer sword, his cultivation level is still too low. He's unable to perfectly control the power of the Godslayer sword. As long as we are careful, he won't be able to harm us." With that, he controlled the mountain soul to change its position.
The mountain soul of the Martial Soul Mountain moved as quickly as teleportation. In the blink of an eye, it had left its original position and appeared ten thousand kilometres away.
Although Gongsun Zhi's shocking strike possessed devastating power, it did not seem to be able to lock onto the Martial Soul Mountain. As a result, Godslayer's strike missed as soon as the Martial Soul Mountain changed locations. It vanished into the depths of outer space in the end.
Gongsun Zhi bellowed out furiously. He continued to attack with Godslayer's sword. Every strike erupted with devastating power, but the Martial Soul Mountain refused to receive them head-on. They dodged them with ease every single time.
Seeing how his attacks were dodged time and time again, Gongsun Zhi finally could not help but bellow out furiously, "Martial Soul lineage, don't run if you're bold enough. Do you have the courage to face me in a proper battle?"
Jianchen stared at the arrogant Gongsun Zhi from the mountain soul. He frowned as well. If Gongsun Zhi did not possess a protector sword, he would indeed be an ant in his eyes. However, with a protector sword, he had to admit that the puny Divine King was not someone he could deal with.
"But it seems like only Gongsun Zhi has come here out of the six protectors of the Radiant Saint Hall." Jianchen glanced past the Cloud Plane. He let out a sigh of relief after failing to find Bai Yu, Han Xin, and the others.
"The wielder of a protector sword should be completely chosen by the Artifact Spirit. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for junior Bai Yu and Han Xin to obtain a protector sword with their talent. After all, there are just far too many people more powerful than them in the Radiant Saint Hall. It looks like I need to find a way to visit the Tower of Radiance again, "Jianchen thought.
Back in the Tower of Radiance, Gongsun Zhi had expressed hostility and killing intent towards him. The Artifact Spirit should have known about this, yet in the end, the most powerful protector sword still ended up in Gongsun Zhi's hands. Jian Chen sensed that something was off. He could not help but worry for the Artifact Spirit.
"First senior brother, second senior brother, I've experienced the power of protector swords in the past, so my understanding of them far surpasses yours. I'll keep Gongsun Zhi busy. You need to be careful of Huangfu Guiyi and Xu Zhiping. They came with Gongsun Zhi, so they should be together," Yue Chao said sternly. Yue Chao growled. With that, he directly flew out of the mountain soul. His power surged as he charged towards Gongsun Zhi.
Gongsun Zhi wielded the Protector Saint Sword in his hand. His entire person seemed to have transformed into the only blazing sun in this dark starry space, radiating resplendent light that illuminated the entire Cloud Prefecture. He let out a roar of rage and slashed out with his sword, shattering the milky way as he mercilessly slashed towards Yue Chao.
Yue Chao did not dare to be careless against the power of the protector sword. He was stern, and he did not take Gongsun Zhi's attack head-on. Instead, he dodged Godslayer's sword in an ingenious manner.
Afterwards, Yue Chao and Gongsun Zhi engaged in a battle in outer space. Instead of a battle, it was more like a game of cat and mouse. As Yue Chao had a deep understanding of the power of the protector sword, he did not take Gongsun Zhi's attack head-on, nor did he fight back. All he did was dodge.
If he took on Gongsun Zhi's attack head-on, the protector sword was just too powerful. He would be the one to suffer. If he fought back, Gongsun Zhi was protected by the power of the protector sword. The power could even block Martial Soul Force. Any attack would not be able to harm Gongsun Zhi at all unless it could get through the power of Godslayer's sword.
As a result, before he possessed the strength to take on the protector sword head-on, dodging was the only way to deal with the protector sword.
However, Gongsun Zhi discovered that even though he had Godslayer's sword, he failed to even touch the corner of Yue Chao's clothes. He could not help but become secretly furious.
"Hahaha, does your Martial Soul lineage only know how to flee before me? The famed Martial Soul lineage that has existed for thousands of years in the Saints' World actually doesn't even have the right to fight me. How cowardly. I think there's no need for the Martial Soul lineage to continue existing … "
"You should be Yue Chao, right? Yue Chao, you snuck into our Radiant Saint Hall last time and almost died to my hands. I never thought that you would directly flee as soon as you see me this time. Is it because you learnt about my power after your injuries last time and fear me, where you don't even have the courage to fight me …"
"Hahaha, Martial Soul lineage, since you're so afraid of me, I'll let you live. If you hand over Jianchen's head and kowtow to me nine times, I'll let you live."
With no other choice, Gongsun Zhi began to provoke Yue Chao verbally. His attacks with Godslayer's sword were indeed devastating, but they were unable to touch Yue Chao. This made him feel extremely aggrieved. He felt like he had punched cotton, unable to use any strength at all. It was as horrible as it could get.
After all, he was only a Divine King. He was nowhere near as powerful as Chaotic Primes in every aspect. Even with his protector sword, his attacks only possessed the form but not the spirit. He was unable to lock onto Yue Chao at all. As a matter of fact, there were many times when he could not even catch Yue Chao's shadow. Whenever Yue Chao changed location, he would have to look around in search of him.
This was the drawback of the disparity between his strength and his cultivation.
Otherwise, if the protector sword were to fall into the hands of someone with a similar level of cultivation to it, each and every move would be able to seal the sky as a prison. It would completely lock onto the opponent, making it impossible to dodge or escape.
"Gongsun Zhi's cultivation is still a little too low after all. His attacks are just too slow. It's such a waste for such a powerful Godslayer's sword to end up in his hands." On the Cloud Plane, Huangfu Guiyi, Xu Zhiping, and Sha Yun stared at the battle in outer space as well. They shook their heads inside.
