History's Number 1 Founder

Heavenly Born Holy Man stretched out his hand and pushed it against the brim of Crucible of the Divine Lands. That seemingly ordinary but in fact tremendous strength somewhat shocked the Divine Lands.

A dance of the fingers on Luo Qingwu’s left hand summoned a sword mantra, as her right hand, wielding Xuanche Sword, jabbed at Heavenly Born Holy Man.

The stabbing, coupled with the vibration of Crucible of the Divine Lands, upheaved the entire heaven and earth and the void.

A blinding light flashed before Heavenly Born Holy Man, as he felt all of the spiritual energy in the Divine Lands were drawn, then continuously converged. Surrounding him in all directions was a thick sword aura and sword will.

In that instance, even for someone as powerful as Heavenly Born Holy Man, he somewhat felt that the whole world was against him, as if the landscape before his eyes had vanished in entirety. The Greater Worlds and Divine Lands morphed into a longsword and jabbed at him.

This feeling reminded him of the past, when Saintly Celestial Sword drew the sword aura from the heaven and earth, and how it turned the Greater Worlds into its blade.

The only difference was that Saintly Celestial Sword’s heaven and earth sword will felt ethereal, grand, and vast.

Whereas Luo Qingwu’s blade, forged with Crucible of the Divine Lands, was sturdy like the earth, compact and concise to the extreme. Seemingly heavy yet functional, clumsy yet dextrous.

As the intense sword will pushed forward, the void shattered and gave way.

Heavenly Born Holy Man used Heavenly Six World Holy Ritual to assist his ultimate level spell. But right then, against this sword, it was continuously split open. The strength of many realms, under the blunt yet overwhelming sword, was also gradually ruptured.

“Not too bad,” thought Heavenly Born Holy Man as he nodded his head, impressed. As a brilliant light shimmered in his palm, he became all the more mysterious and unpredictable.

Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light circulated and the sword that Luo Qingwu forged with Crucible of the Divine Lands immediately was bumped out of its trajectory.

But also in that moment, Heavenly Born Holy Man suddenly frowned. He turned around and raised his other hand, arched one finger and flicked lightly.

From within the void, a dash of very somber sword will, devoid of any coloration, like the deepest darkness, appeared right beside Heavenly Born Holy Man.

After Heavenly Born Holy Man’s flick, that somber sword will instantly extinguished. A human figure emerged from within it, wielding a nine-feet-long ancient golden sword. Clad in black, it was Chu Yang.

After a failed strike, Chu Yang’s figure and sword fused and in a flicker, landed on Crucible of the Divine Lands.

His expression was calm and focused, staring at Heavenly Born Holy Man. But he first turned to Luo Qingwu and said, “fellow Luo, thank you very much.”

Luo Qingwu said, “fellow Chu, it is not me you should thank. My master knew this was going to happen.”

Chu Yang nodded his head and said nothing more. The feeling he had for Luo Qingwu never changed deep inside his heart. But he knew that was not the priority right now.

Before him was an opportunity that Lin Feng created for him. He ought to make good use of it.

Heavenly Born Holy Man looked at Chu Yang, then his gaze fell onto the nine-feet-long sword held by Chu Yang. recalling the sword will that Chu Yang produced just now, he had an epiphany and asked, “Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword, and Southwest You Heaven Sword, then, this must be Nine Heavens Sword then?”

Heavenly Born Holy Man stared at the longsword in Chu Yang’s hand and said, “this is not just a spell-manifested sword will, but an actual magic treasure had been smelted!”

The golden longsword that Chu Yang brandished was circulated with sword luster. Without any decoration or pretense, a magnificent sword will overflowed, as if the nine heavens and ten thousand ways all manifested within it. It was like an incredibly diverse Destiny World.

In the supernatural awareness of Heavenly Born Holy Man, Luo Qingwu, and Tang Jun, they could somewhat sense that paths between the heaven and earth encircled and converged to Nine Heavens Sword, ever-changing.

Judging from the energy aura of the magic treasure, based on sword will, it was almost comparable to the sword that Luo Qingwu forged with Crucible of the Divine Lands previously.

But Heavenly Born Holy Man was way more experienced, as he observed that the Nine Heavens Sword wielded by Chu Yang was not actually completely refined to perfection. It was just a tiny step away from that.

It was like the distance between two sides of a piece of paper, but it separated two different worlds. To totally succeed, there was still something lacking.

Naturally, Chu Yang himself was completely aware.

Years ago, he obtained Nine Heavens Sword Sword Shadow. Subsequently, in his quest to collect magic treasures to refine Nine Heavens Sword, with the aid of Celestial Sect of Wonders, he acquired eight of them.

After Celestial Sect of Wonders obtained Heavenly Imperial Jade, Chu Yang received intel from it that the last magic treasure was always in the collections of Great Void Sect.

Similarly, with the help of Celestial Sect, Chu Yang eventually laid hands on the last magic treasure, allowing him to finally smelt Nine Heavens Sword.

However, Nine Heavens Sword had not actually fulfilled its destiny yet. Just like many years ago, before Immortal Dragon City and Longevity Lotus Seat overcame the final obstacle.

As such, the reason why he was here today was to seek an opportunity to overcome this last obstacle.

Heavenly Born Holy Man stared at Nine Heavens Sword, feeling its sword will. He mulled over the situation and came to a realization. He said, “I get it now. It has to be Nine Heavens VS Nine Heavens. For the Nine Heavens Sword to fulfill its destiny, the final opportunity actually lies in my Great Void Sect’s Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells?”

His expression was somewhat peculiar, as his gaze shifted. Looking at Chu Yang’s Nine Heavens Sword, he said nothing more.

But Luo Qingwu and Tang Jun became very cautious, because since they started observe Heavenly Born Holy Man, this was one of the rare occasions when he revealed his true emotions.

His eyes, usually tranquil as the surface of a lake, in that moment rippled. It betrayed that deep down, Heavenly Born Holy Man was not as emotionless as he seemed to be.

But almost instantly, his gaze returned to normal, without any disturbance. Seemingly, the waves of emotions just now never actually existed at all.

Heavenly Born Holy Man smiled wryly and looked at Chu Yang. He said, “well, aren’t you a tricky one.”

As Nine Heavens Sword had not actually fulfilled its destiny, if Chu Yang sustained Heavenly Born Holy Man’s Power-Destroying Catastrophe, the injury would be dire.

Hence once Chu Yang missed, he immediately landed on Crucible of the Divine Lands. He nodded towards Luo Qingwu, then crossed his legs and suspended himself mid air, with Nine Heavens Sword lying horizontally on his knees. Not before long, his figure submerged into the body of Crucible of the Divine Lands.

Surrounding Crucible of the Divine Lands, an abundance of shine and air current boiled over, gradually turning into a brownish-yellow realm, just like the Divine Lands.

But from below the ground, a silent thunder rattled. Torrents of sword will soared and slashed away at Heavenly Born Holy Man.

That sword aura and sword will dispersed in the void, and as if the milky way was falling down, it crashed onto Heavenly Born Holy Man. In that galaxy, all sorts of strange scenes flashed pass, in astronomical numbers.

Above the surface of the river, one after another scorching sun rose above, illuminating the heaven and earth with a golden rays.

In the undercurrent of the river, countless dark shadows flashed, turning into an expansive darkness, deep as the abyss.

A giant furnace floated to the surface of the water, burning all life forms as coal and using the heaven and earth as furnace.

A white lotus bloomed, then another. Not before long, they filled the surface of the river.

Many shadowy figures traversed over the surface of the river. Righteous and energetic, they chanted a mantra.

Moreover, buddhas and monks emerged from the river, surrounding by a magical glow of the marble, and exuding the essence of peace and knowledge.

Emerald Dragons wallowed in the water intermittently, spouting emerald flames as they please.

A primordial Xuanwu, resembling both a turtle and a snake, heavy and sturdy, crouched on the riverbed. That was the Ancient Heaven’s Gate Sect’s excavation of a Xuanwu fossil, which was incorporated into the will of the sword.

In the galaxy, a faint bloody glow appeared. A white smoke lingered, revealing the mysticism of the heaven and earth.

Where the river flowed, it seemed to have teleported through ten thousand realms and countless dimensions. It embraced all their essence of reason and logic, then crashed down upon Heavenly Born Holy Man.

Heavenly Born Holy Man’s gaze shifted as he calle upon Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light. The galaxy quivered and miss him by a hair, while Heavenly Born Holy Man himself once more approached Crucible of the Divine Lands. Opening up both of his palms at once, bolts of golden light and Yin Yang energy appeared together, forming a Destiny World of their own. Resuming the identity of Shen Heaven Holy Paradise, it imposed upon the land of shadows created by Crucible of the Divine Lands.

The parties collided in mid air. Sitting at the edge of Crucible of the Divine Lands, Luo Qingwu’s expression was unfazed. She held her Xuanche Sword up horizontally.

Under her will, Crucible of the Divine Lands had completely relinquished all intentions to attack, instead focusing entirely on defense, making it difficult to overcome even for Heavenly Born Holy Man.

Simultaneously, the bronze crucible once more spouted a sword luster, turning into various constellations and washed over Heavenly Born Holy Man. This attack perfectly complemented the defense of Crucible of the Divine Lands, harmonious and mutually beneficial.

Heavenly Born Holy Man grinned slightly. A mysterious light shimmered around him as he took the attack of Nine Heavens Sword head on.

Abruptly, Chu Yang felt that he had seemingly lost some control over the workings of Nine Heavens Sword.

Subsequently, a divine light shined and the sword luster, like a galaxy in the nine heavens, turned around and instead landed on the world fabricated by Crucible of the Divine Lands!

Luo Qingwu, Chu Yang, and Tang Jun were not at all surprised, because they had certain knowledge of Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light.

From a certain perspective, a Great Void Sect cultivator who has mastered Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light would be the least concerned about being cornered by enemies. Within a reasonable limit, the number of enemies around the same level as themselves did not matter that much. Conversely, they could redirect the strength of one enemy against another.

As the highest form of Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells, it was only countered by Lin Feng’s Inverse the Universe. But still, it was difficult to deal with it nonetheless.

However, if Heavenly Born Holy Man wanted to turn their attack against their defense, it would also be a herculean task.

Crucible of the Divine Lands and Luo Qingwu’s sword force simply endured Chu Yang and Nine Heavens Sword’s assault, without blocking it or deflecting it, just silently receiving the attack.

In that moment Crucible of the Divine Lands was like the expansive earth which quietly supported all life forms. Indeed, it had the ability to bear this burden.

Unexpectedly, Nine Heavens Sword’s attack created a bizarre resonance with Crucible of the Divine Lands, seemingly assembling into a complete world of their own. With the sky above and land below, superbly balanced, superbly harmonious, and superbly natural.

In the next instant, this seemingly fused world expanded at once and piled onto Heavenly Born Holy Man!

Seeing such, Heavenly Born Holy Man gently raised his eyebrows. As the divine light flowed around him, he dodged towards on side and avoided the crush of that realm.

The balance between the heaven and earth gradually dissipated, once again splitting into the strength of Crucible of the Divine Lands and the sword luster of Nine Heavens Sword. However, it was as if Chu Yang did not learn a lesson, he once more raised his Nine Heavens Sword and another sword luster beamed out from the mouth of the crucible and sliced down on Heavenly Born Holy Man.
