As the sword came, it shone brightly and cut through the dark sky.
Suddenly, the darkness rippled.
The ripples spread out and continuously contracted. A huge palm spread out, bringing with it the power of a hundred thousand catties. It suddenly struck out like a thunderous tsunami.
A thunderous boom abruptly thundered out, as earth-shattering sounds shook the heavens. That beam of sword light was instantly smashed apart, and the gigantic hand of darkness was destroyed as well. The aftershock of the attack swept past the crowd, and in that instant, Chen Zong only felt a terrifying destructive might gushing towards him. Chen Zong instantly erupted forth with power, pushing his Heavenly Gold Sword Physique to its limits. Platinum divine inscriptions gushed forth as his tyrannical cultivation base erupted forth.
Around his body, there were wisps of sword radiance, one after another.
But under the destructive aftermath, the sword radiance was shattered, and the defensive power on his body was also shattered. The defense of the Space Splitting Ring was also penetrated, and the shockwave spread to Chen Zong's body.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's Heavenly Gold Sword Body was strong enough. The shockwave was only the aftermath, and it did not cause any harm to Chen Zong. But the power still shocked Chen Zong, and his expression became serious.
Was this the power of an invincible Heaven Rank expert?
Just the shockwave from a single collision had such terrifying power. If he was hit directly, he would not be able to survive.
The sword will was shocking, and the light shone brightly. A figure stood in the sky, as if he was burning. The white flame burned with light, and it was constantly fluctuating. It soared into the sky, becoming more and more terrifying.
As the darkness continued to churn, it continued to compress and condense, but it also became deeper and darker. One could vaguely see a figure there.
The dark figure and the light figure stood opposite each other.
"Light Jiandi, the Connate Holy Lotus is useless to you. Why are you fighting with me?" The Black King's voice was full of anger.
"Black King, is the Connate Holy Lotus useful to you?" The Light Jiandi's voice carried a hint of a smile. Its words unconsciously revealed a kind of shocking sharpness.
"If that's the case, then let's see who's stronger." The Black King paused for a moment, and then snorted coldly.
Shocking power spread out, and it became more and more powerful, filling the sky and earth.
A great battle was about to break out.
"Retreat!" The faces of the Ultra Supremes were extremely solemn as they immediately retreated.
They could withstand the aftermath of the battle between two Heaven Rank powerhouses for a while, but they wouldn't be able to withstand it forever. If they couldn't withstand it, they would be injured or even killed.
As for Chen Zong, he had already stepped back.
Chen Zong was not stupid. He knew that he could not fight back, but he still wanted to save face.
A sudden change occurred. It was as if a gust of wind had blown past. The wind was extremely sudden, and it blew past the vast Thousand Lotus Pond. The lotus leaves on top of the pond instantly swayed endlessly in the wind, as if they were dancing. They were like layer upon layer of dark green waves that surged violently, wave after wave, continuous without end.
Soon after, specks of jade-green light spread out from the countless lotus leaves. They were like fairies, yet also like the stars in the night sky. They were so magnificent.
For a moment, everyone's attention was drawn over.
In the sky, the Black King and Light Jiandi, who were about to engage in a fierce battle, paused for a moment before withdrawing their auras.
This situation … Was the Connate Holy Lotus about to appear?
What happened next was like a miracle. Flower buds appeared out of thin air and slowly grew. Everyone could see them clearly.
In just a few moments, thousands of flower buds grew out from the lotus leaves. They grew to the size of a fist, then quietly bloomed, and an indescribable fragrance spread out.
At the center of the Thousand Lotus Pond, a speck of light gathered in the water and gradually expanded. Then, it floated above the water like a flower bud.
Thousands of blooming lotus flowers swayed endlessly. Specks of light appeared one after another and flowed towards the flower bud in the center of the pond. They continuously merged into it and gradually grew.
Not long after, the flower bud grew to nearly a meter in size and bloomed.
Petals started to bloom, and rays of clear light spread out. It was like clouds and mist, but also like rays of sunlight that shone out and illuminated the sky. In the void, an indescribable chanting sound could be vaguely heard. When one tried to listen carefully, they realized that they couldn't hear anything. However, they could still hear it inadvertently.
That voice was neither male nor female, neither old nor young. It was nothing, but everything at the same time. It was impossible to distinguish.
That voice couldn't be stopped. Even if one closed their ears, they could still hear it. It seemed to be directly transmitted into their minds.
That voice contained an indescribable sense of wonder that spread out in his mind. Unknowingly, it seemed to carry a mysterious meaning that made him understand something.
This was the voice of the Great Dao.
This meant that the Connate Holy Lotus was about to bloom.
In an instant, everyone's hearts were filled with excitement.
In the Thousand Lotus Pond, a one-meter-wide lotus flower had completely bloomed. It was extremely impressive. Gradually, it left the water surface of the Thousand Lotus Pond and slowly rose into the air. As it spun slowly, rays of seven-colored light spread out. The light shone in all directions and dyed the sky and land.
The darkness and light in the sky were overshadowed by the light.
It was a lotus flower, a meter-sized lotus flower. The lotus flower was pure white in color and gave off a sacred feeling. It also seemed to be incomparably clear. As the lotus flower completely bloomed and rose into the air, the thousands of lotus flowers in the Thousand Lotus Pool withered one after another. Soon after, countless lotus leaves withered as if they had lost their moisture. They were charred black as if they had been burned by fire. As a gust of wind blew past, they turned into dust bit by bit and disappeared.
In the sky and land, there was only one holy lotus that kept spinning. It constantly emitted rays of seven-colored light that shone in all directions.
"Connate Holy Lotus …" Someone's voice trembled and he looked extremely excited.
Chen Zong focused his eyes and stared at the lotus flower that kept emitting rays of seven-colored light. He was extremely shocked.
A supreme treasure!
It was a supreme treasure. Just its aura alone made Chen Zong feel an inexplicable strong attraction.
At this moment, Chen Zong had an idea. He wanted to fight for the Connate Holy Lotus.
However, to fight for the Connate Holy Lotus under the eyes of two Invincible Heaven Realm masters and several Super Realm masters was undoubtedly an extremely difficult task. There was no hope at all, and he might even be killed.
No matter what, Chen Zong would give it a try. If he really couldn't fight for it, he would retreat. Saving his own life was the most important thing. However, if there was a chance, he wouldn't give it up.
If he had to fight, he would fight!
The Connate Holy Lotus floated a hundred meters above the Thousand Lotus Pond and stopped rising. It just spun slowly and emitted rays of seven-colored light that shone in all directions. The lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the Thousand Lotus Pond had all disappeared.
It turned into nothingness, leaving behind only the empty pool water.
It was as if the lotus leaves had contributed all their life essence after years of growth to create the Connate Holy Lotus.
The Connate Holy Lotus was a supreme treasure.
Even Hei Wang and Sword Emperor of Light had taken action. Of course, although the Innate Saint Lotus was good, it wasn't of much help to them. After all, they were invincible in the Heaven Rank. They were at the top of the Heaven Rank, and the next step would be the Saint Rank.
The Connate Holy Lotus wasn't of much help to them in breaking through to the Saint Realm.
However, now that they were here, they were most likely here to fight for the Connate Holy Lotus for someone else.
Their arrival made the fight for the Connate Holy Lotus even more complicated.
But what should they do?
There was no other way.
They had to either give up or take the risk.
In an instant, the Black King and the Light Jiandi moved. They burst out with extreme speed and rushed toward the Connate Holy Lotus. Their terrifying aura burst out, making it difficult for others to get close.
The Black King condensed a huge hand out of thin air. The hand of darkness swept across the sky and grabbed at the Connate Holy Lotus. It was obvious that he wanted to take the Connate Holy Lotus away.
It was very overbearing and unreasonable, but the Light Jiandi wouldn't just sit by and watch.
The sword in the Radiance Sword Emperor's hand suddenly slashed out. In an instant, an extremely resplendent sword light tore through the sky, creating a terrifying crack. The darkness was directly torn apart, and a brilliant radiance erupted, illuminating the heavens and earth.
Immediately after, the Sword Emperor of Light swung his sword for the second time. This time, the sword seemed rather relaxed, but it also felt as heavy as a mountain. It was as if the power and dominance of a mountain was contained within the sword.
Sword of Divine Light … Sun Glory!
The sword slashed down like a scorching sun. Its power was terrifying. Not only did it split the huge hand of darkness, it also hit the Connate Holy Lotus.
Although the Connate Holy Lotus was a supreme treasure, it wasn't particularly strong. It might be difficult for a Supreme Realm master to destroy it, but an Invincible Heaven Realm master was much stronger than a Supreme Realm master. The Connate Holy Lotus couldn't withstand the attack.
With one slash, the Innate Saint Lotus was sliced into two halves.
"Bastard!" The Black King was furious, but there was nothing he could do. After the sword light cut the Connate Holy Lotus, it curled up like a rope and wrapped around half of the Connate Holy Lotus. Then, it turned into a sword light and fled without hesitation.
Obviously, the Light Jiandi didn't want to start a real conflict with the Black King. For an Invincible Heaven Realm master, it wasn't easy to determine the winner once they started a fight. It might even take a few days and nights. If that happened, the Connate Holy Lotus would be completely destroyed and they wouldn't be able to get anything.
The Light Jiandi was very rational. It came here for what it wanted. It was very simple and straightforward.
The Black King cursed, but he didn't plan to pursue. Instead, he grabbed the other half of the Connate Holy Lotus and left quickly.
However, dozens of lotus seeds fell from the split Connate Holy Lotus. They all fell into the Thousand Lotus Pond.
When the Light Jiandi and the Black King each took half of the Connate Holy Lotus and left, the group of Supreme Realm masters burst out with extreme speed and rushed to the Thousand Lotus Pond.
Even if they couldn't get the Connate Holy Lotus, they could still get the lotus seeds. That was the essence of the Connate Holy Lotus and a rare treasure.
