Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
The White Emperor Zenith Sword was said to be the Church of Universal Truth’s strongest Divine Equipment, forged from a section of the bones in the God of Universal Truth’s hands. It had an extraordinarily strong prowess that could split the world apart and was a legend amongst legends.
It was only after speaking with and exchanging information with the Immortality Saint that Fang Xingjian got to know about the real information concerning the White Emperor Zenith Sword.
As to whether this great Divine Weapon came from the God of Universal Truth, that was something which had happened too long in the distant past to be ascertained. However, there was no doubt as to how powerful it was.
The White Emperor Zenith Sword had a total of 21 sections, each having different mysterious abilities. The more sections were activated, the more massive the Divine Equipment’s prowess would be. Legend had it was that when all 21 sections were linked, the unleashed prowess could split the world apart and recreate the mortal world.
However, no one in the course of the Church of Universal Truth’s history had managed to activate all 21 sections, fully unleashing the explosive prowess of this Divine Equipment.
Back then, the previous Pope told the three Saints his last words and handed them the White Emperor Zenith Sword. He had ordered them to hand the White Emperor Zenith Sword over to Fang Xingjian in the future so that he could stop the seventh onslaught.
It was a pity that the three Saints were unwilling to hand over the White Emperor Zenith Sword. This sword was also split into three parts, with each of the Saints getting seven sections.
Right now, Fang Xingjian was working together with the Immortality Saint, and they instantly erupted a path of light that was several ten thousand kilometers long. Fang Xingjian could even feel that there were seven light spots lit up in his body. They were the White Emperor Zenith Sword’s seven sections erupting in turn.
If it could be said that Fang Xingjian felt the power which erupted from the first section was not bad, then his countenance would have already turned grim by the time the third section erupted. So, when the power in the seventh section erupted, even Fang Xingjian could not help but appear astonished.
“The White Emperor Zenith Sword? The explosive prowess of the seven sections is not far off from Ulpian now. As expected of the best Divine Equipment in the lands throughout the past over ten million years.”
Sensing the powers of the light sword in his hand, Fang Xingjian’s battle will seethed.
As the light sword charged up into outer space and pierced through countless stretches of the Sun’s flames, both parties present could sense the endless streams of powers gathering toward the light sword from void space.
This was the power of the seven sections of the White Emperor Zenith Sword that the Immortality Saint had. It could communicate with void space, drawing powers from other parallel worlds.
This meant that once the White Emperor Zenith Sword was activated, there would be no end to its energy. The only problem would lie in how much the user could control.
Fang Xingjian’s Instant Sword was also activated together with the White Emperor Zenith Sword.
Ever since the swords, the sword formation, and Sword Realm were detonated concurrently, Fang Xingjian recreated his Divine Country, and his Sword Realm and his powers were now all gathered together.
Usually, his Sword Realm would be condensed within his body. Once it was activated, it would surge up and instantly overlap with the real world in the surroundings.
The Sword Realm contained the powers from all of Fang Xingjian’s sword techniques and could be said to have gathered all the greatness of Fang Xingjian’s sword arts. As a result, each slash would hold the prowess of the Instant Sword, Light Pursuit Sword, All-Conquering Sword, and the Infiltrating Void Sword at the same time.
Many cracks radiated outward from the center of Fang Xingjian’s body. The Sword Realm had opened up, and a myriad of swords had descended.
Fang Xingjian had used this to activate the Instant Sword.
Concurrently, countless sword marks appeared abruptly in the surroundings of the White Emperor Zenith Sword and moved together with the light sword. It was as if each and every movement by the White Emperor Zenith Sword was shattering space incessantly.
The White Emperor Zenith Sword and Instant Sword were activated simultaneously, and the Immortality Saint’s and Fang Xingjian’s powers were merged together.
With this slash, it was as if the wind, water, earth, and fire elements were re-established. It was like the heavens and earth had been severed, and all living creatures in the world were wiped out.
However, the strange thing was that although the prowess of this sword was immense, Ulpian’s Sudden Inspiration did not sense any threat from it.
It was as if a person had seen someone slashing at him with a watermelon knife. It was obvious the slasher could stab him to death at the next moment, yet he did not sense any threat at all.
Ordinary people would definitely find it very strange and awkward if they were to sense something like this. However, Ulpian had the Sudden Inspiration, so he believed in his own feelings and continued to push forth with his punch.
The fist and sword light clashed fiercely together.
Ulpian’s fist sent out absolute darkness while the White Emperor Zenith Sword kept drawing powers from other worlds, unleashing a white light that could melt any matter.
Boom!
The colours of black and white each filled up a direction. After one collision, they unleashed explosive powers toward the left and right respectively. It was as if two worlds had collided fiercely.
With the powers from the seven sections of the White Emperor Zenith Sword, Fang Xingjian managed to hold off Ulpian’s attack for the first time ever and was evenly matched with him.
However, just as the sword and fist collided, two surges of powers that could destroy all of mankind crashed against each other crazily, creating two worlds—one black and one white.
At this moment, a stream of black sword mark was suddenly created. It came abruptly like someone had already slashed opened the space ten million years ago. The sword mark came and left without anyone knowing where it had come from and where it had gone to. By the time Ulpian sensed this sword attack, the sword mark had already engulfed him instantly.
During the entire process, Ulpian’s Sudden Inspiration had not sensed any threat or abnormality in advance. He was instantly engulfed by the sword mark, then he disappeared without a trace.
As Ulpian disappeared, the black void suddenly started to dissipate. Within 0.001 seconds, it was completely engulfed by the White Emperor Zenith Sword.
Watching as Ulpian disappeared, the Immortality Saint felt surprised and doubtful. “What happened?” Even the Immortality Saint did not understand what had happened with that earlier sword attack.
“He’s gone. He has gone to another universe and can forget about ever coming back.”
Hearing Fang Xingjian’s reply and recalling the earlier scenes, a series of memories flashed through the Immortality Saint’s mind. Then he immediately reacted, “That attack from earlier… was the Instant Sword… So that’s how it is. I understand it now.”
The Immortality Saint had really understood. The series of exchanges earlier had simply been to prepare for Fang Xingjian to slash out this winning sword attack.
‘Even with the energy from the White Emperor Zenith Sword, all the Instant Sword can slash out is still an ordinary-sized sword mark?
‘This sword attack is too powerful. It’s absolutely powerful to an unbelievable extent. Therefore, the required energy exceeds the requirements of any other moves. Even with the White Emperor Zenith Sword drawing energy from other universes, the Instant Sword is still only able to slash out an ordinary-sized sword mark.
‘Meanwhile, the effect of this sword attack is to tear apart void space. No, it isn’t tearing apart but to apply pressure. It sent Ulpian directly to another universe.
‘When one is trying to reach a breakthrough in the Divine level, small changes affect the bigger picture. The ends of the microscopic world are beyond space-time. They are at a place that transcends the concept of time and space—a passageway to other universes. The Instant Sword is a sword attack that surpasses and breaks through the restraints of space-time, slashing open the quantum passageway at the end of space-time.’
