There were not many people watching this battle, but they were all famous figures, such as Xu Yuan of the Earth Sword Sect, Master Yuan Sword Sect, who was on good terms with the Sky Sword Sect, and the eldest disciple of the Sky Sword Sect, Master Wind Lightning Sword Sect. Although these people were not as famous as the Sky Sword Sect, they were still in the top ten or twenty among the Sword Dao Grandmasters.
"Master has been injured."
Wind Thunder Sword Master was more than seventy years old, but still seemed to be in the prime of his life. His mouth was wide open, his face full of disbelief. He knew that Ye Chen had defeated his master, Master Sky Sword. According to his master, Ye Chen had only won by relying on the Defensive Sword Art. Without the Defensive Sword Art, the two were equally matched. However, this West Ocean Sword Master seemed to have defeated his master easily. The difference was too great.
Dozens of li away, Master Sky Sword stopped retreating, blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth like a snake.
"What a great move, Ocean Shifting Sword Qi. This is the most majestic and powerful sword move I've ever seen. You've indeed surpassed your master, far surpassing your master."
Master Sky Sword's expression was solemn. He had never been suppressed like this in a battle between sword masters. Even Ye Chen was only slightly better than him with the Defensive Sword Art. If they were to fight to the death, even if he was killed, Ye Chen wouldn't feel good.
"Hm? I still have the power to fight. "
Liu Wujian was slightly surprised. This sword contained the profoundness of wind and water. The water profoundness was already at minor completion, and the wind profoundness was close to minor completion. When combined, it was far beyond mid-grade profound martial arts. Adding the ingenious use of power, no profound martial arts of the same level could block it.
"Unfortunately, I have developed a new Sky Sword Style in the past year. Now, I will use you to test it!"
Master Sky Sword said lightly.
"Haha!"
Hearing this, Liu Wujian laughed, "Using me to test your moves? I'm afraid I won't be impressed by your sword moves. But I will give you a chance. Go all out!"
Liu Wujian quietly waited for Master Sky Sword's strongest move.
Master Sky Sword didn't get angry. He raised his arm and placed the longsword in front of his chest, as if performing the most pious sword salute.
"Sword of Understanding!"
With a slash of the long sword, the Heavenly Sword Sect unleashed the latest Heavenly Sword Style.
No one could describe how fast this sword was. This sword seemed to have caused time to stop, and thoughts to stagnate. Liu Wujian, who bore the brunt of this attack, could feel the terror of this sword the most. If Sect Master Sky Sword's previous attack had only piqued his interest, then this Sword of Understanding had already brought him some threat.
"Ultimate Kill — A Thousand Miles Thread!"
The Heaven Sword Sect had the Sword of Understanding, but Liu Wujian also had his own trump card. Before this, he hadn't been serious at all. He grasped the sharp longsword in his hand and swung it in the air. A moment later, a white ray of light shot out. At a glance, it was like the line between the sea and the sky, vast, profound, and unreachable.
Puff!
Master Sky Sword's Sword of Understanding was extremely powerful. His sword qi condensed into a straight line, while Liu Wujian's Thousand Miles Thread was similar, condensing into a straight line. However, when the two attacks collided, the one that collapsed was Master Sky Sword's Sword of Understanding. That was because Liu Wujian's attack contained too much power, and there was no end to it at all. No matter how powerful the Sword of Understanding was, how could it block it?
"What a profound water profound."
Master Sky Sword's eyes narrowed. How could he not see that Liu Wujian also contained the two profound essences of wind and water? But it was different from the Sea Shifting Sword Qi. This Thousand Miles Thread used the water profound as the main element, displaying the water profound to the fullest. When facing this move, it was like being in the sea. Although one could see the line between the sea and the sky, no matter how fast one was, one would never be able to reach it.
Creak!
The Thousand Miles Thread shattered the Sword of Understanding and slashed at Master Sky Sword's chest at a speed that he couldn't dodge in time. In the next moment, a loud metallic sound resounded. Master Sky Sword's hair was disheveled as he flew back while spurting blood. Unlike the previous time, his injuries were extremely severe. His five viscera and six bowels were almost displaced, and his blood was flowing in reverse.
"To be able to force me to use Thousand Miles Thread, you should be proud of yourself. Unfortunately, your potential has been exhausted. In the future, the gap between us will only grow bigger and bigger."
Sheathing his longsword, Liu Wujian said to the majestic young man and the multicolor-robed woman, "Let's go!"
Swish! Swish!
Swish! The three disappeared from everyone's sight like flickering lights.
"Master, are you alright?"
Master Tempest Sword immediately rushed over to support Master Sky Sword.
Master Sky Sword's face was ashen as he waved his hand, "I won't die."
Master Earth Sword sucked in a deep breath and asked, "Master Sky Sword, in your opinion, what is the extent of this Liu Wujian's strength?"
"Him! I reckon he can sweep through all Sea of Soul Masters on True Spirit Continent. "Master Sky Sword pondered for a while before speaking.
"What? How is that possible?"
Master Earth Sword and Master Yuan Sword were astonished.
"Isn't there still Ye Chen?" Xu Yuan blurted out.
Master Sky Sword smiled bitterly, "In the past year, I've created the Sword of Understanding, and my strength has improved by a lot. A year ago, Ye Chen's strength was higher than mine. If he had continued to make rapid progress, he would at most be on par with the current Liu Wujian. However, I can feel that Liu Wujian's true strength is far from this. He hasn't used all his trump cards yet."
Master Sky Sword originally believed that Liu Wujian's strength was only at this level. However, as soon as Thousand Miles Thread appeared, he immediately sensed that Liu Wujian had an even stronger trump card. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant. If Ye Chen wanted to defeat him, it would be extremely difficult.
"This …"
Xu Yuan and Master Yuan Sword exchanged a glance.
"Sigh, I hope my guess is wrong."
Master Sky Sword shook his head once more and left under the support of Master Wind Lightning.
"This matter is getting out of hand."
Xu Yuan's face was filled with worry. As a Master of True Spirit Continent, he didn't want to see all the Master Sea of Soul realm experts of the continent being swept by a youngster of West Ocean.
"Perhaps there will be a turn for the better!"
Master Yuan Sword said in a low voice.
…
In the depths of North Ocean was a group of floating islands.
At the center of the group was an inverted cone-shaped floating island. This island was boundless, with mountains, basins, forests, volcanoes, rivers, plains, and valleys. At the edge of the floating island, large and small waterfalls cascaded down, pouring down on the floating island below. At the same time, waterfalls also cascaded down from the floating island, flowing down to the floating island below. From afar, this group of floating islands was like a paradise, a wonder of the immortal world. It was truly beautiful, magnificent and exquisite at the same time.
On the inverted cone-shaped floating island, there was a huge palace that occupied several thousand hectares. Inside the palace, a middle-aged man and a youngster were standing one after another. In front of them was a model of a continent. Based on its shape and geographical distribution, one could tell at a glance that it was a model of True Spirit Continent.
Above the model were numerous sparkling and translucent lines intertwining, covering the entire sky above the model. At a glance, it was simply impossible to count. There were at least millions of them intertwining together.
The middle-aged man waved his finger, and a light dot landed on the thin line at the center of the continent. That was the central region, Sky Martial Region.
"Tian 'er, go to Sky Martial Region!"
The youngster said respectfully, "Master, why do you want me to go to Sky Martial Region?"
"If my guess is correct, the forbidden region carrying Four Extreme Emperor's graveyard will move to Sky Martial Region within a year. You possess the first style of Void Shattering Finger and Sky Scorpio King's key, which means that this graveyard is fated with you. However, fate is fleeting, and you have to fight for it yourself."
"Four Extreme Emperor's graveyard will move to Sky Martial Region?" The youngster sucked in a deep breath and bowed respectfully, "Yes, Master."
"Remember, Void Shattering Finger has four styles, and there are also four keys to open the graveyard. The other three keys should be in the hands of others. If you can snatch them, do it. If you can't, then cooperate with them. I have a premonition that with the four Void Shattering Finger styles and the four keys, you should be able to enter Four Extreme Emperor's graveyard."
"Rest assured, Master. With my strength, unless it's a half-step King or a Life and Death King, nobody can be my opponent."
A cold light flickered in the youngster's eyes.
"Your master knows your strength the best. However, Sky Martial Region is a holy land for geniuses. Perhaps there aren't many who can contend against you, but there are certainly some who you can't kill."
"I can't kill them?"
The youngster declined to comment.
"Alright, you can go now!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand.
"Farewell, Master."
The youngster turned around and left the palace, soaring into the sky and flying in the direction of True Spirit Continent, soon disappearing without a trace.
Waiting for the youngster to leave, the middle-aged man clasped his hands behind his back, "Four Extreme Emperor's graveyard has appeared. It's time for me to take a look. I wonder what level the strength of those fellows from True Spirit Continent has reached. I hope they won't disappoint me. Dragon King should come out of seclusion soon."
With a wave of his hand, the model of True Spirit Continent disappeared into the void, and the middle-aged man's figure flickered, disappearing from the palace.
…
Emperor Canyon …
Ye Chen and the rest had long since left. On Emperor Scar Stele, the traces left behind by Four Extreme Emperor flickered faintly like an illusion.
In the following month, Ye Chen and the group traveled to a lot of places. There were natural wonders and strange terrains caused by ancient king level battles. There were countless of them.
A month passed, and everyone went their separate ways. Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng didn't return to South Rudra Region. It was already August, only a month away from eighteenth of September. If they went back, they wouldn't have enough time. Therefore, they might as well stay in Sky Martial Region.
During this period of time, the news of West Ocean Sword Master Liu Wujian defeating Master Sky Sword spread like wildfire. Soon after, the incident at White Cloud Restaurant spread as well. Combining the two matters, it immediately created a sensation. Many people knew that a Sword Master named Liu Wujian had come to West Ocean. Apart from defeating Master Sky Sword in his master's stead, he was also going to meet the geniuses of True Spirit Continent on eighteenth of September.
West Ocean Sword Master, Continent's Sword Master … this was just a gimmick.
Adding Liu Wujian's arrogant words, Nine Dragon Lake once again welcomed a golden age after two years. At that time, the number of people heading to Nine Dragon Lake would probably surpass that of the past, because this time was different from the last. This time represented the dignity of True Spirit Continent. If all of them were defeated by Liu Wujian, it would be tantamount to admitting that True Spirit Continent was inferior to West Ocean.
