I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World
Chapter 340 - Sword LawNine Sun Sect, Outer Court
The murderous aura laced with dense killing intent and covered the distant skies was something the first and third elders had never seen before.
Only those who had stepped into the Spirit Refinement Realm and above were more sensitive to the 'intent' of others, which was a manifestation of one's will, one's spirit.
When the murderous aura condensed into a sword, the pressure was less evident, but the threat it posed became even more alarming!
Killing Intent! Merged with Sword Intent!
The person was a peerless expert!
The first elder took in a deep breath to relax his nervous tension.
"I've never seen such a horrible killing intent… The owner of this killing intent shouldn't be from our world…" the first elder determined.
"Un." The third elder nodded.
"The owner of this dense killing intent might even be from the legendary realm of immortals that we all dream of stepping foot into one day," the third elder made a bold guess.
However, the first elder shook his head and said, "The path of heaven is opening, but it hasn't opened yet."
"That's right," another voice suddenly interjected.
Swoosh!
A young-looking man suddenly landed on the pavilion's roof and joined the first and third elders in observing the distant murderous aura.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe has sharp brows, golden eyes, black hair with strips of white, and wore a golden robe with the marking of the nine suns, giving him an overall flair of majesty and authority.
When the first and third elders saw him, their expressions turned respectful.
"Sect Master."
"Sect Master."
The two elders greeted.
"Un," the sect master acknowledged their greeting before he said, "It is as the first elder said. It is stated in the prophecy that the gate of heaven will only open at the end of the spiritual rejuvenation era."
"Right now, spiritual energy is returning to the world, but it is still far from reaching the density level of transforming into divine energy, the energy of immortality."
"That's true," the first elder agreed with the sect master's words before he added, "Still, this rising spiritual energy grants us all an equal opportunity to become Demigods before the realm of immortals opens."
"By the way, were you also attracted by the murderous aura, Sect Master?" the first elder asked.
"That's right," the sect master nodded before strictly saying, "Although the owner of this murderous aura isn't from the realm of immortals, he is someone we must avoid offending at all cost! Otherwise, we will all die!"
"Even you, Sect Master?" the third elder expressed her shock before adding, "But you're a Demigod…"
"I might be a Demigod, but I've only stepped into this realm. I'm only at the entry-level while the owner of the killing intent is most likely at the Peak-stage or even Half-step True Immortal," the sect master stated.
Although he looked much younger than the two elders, it was due to the effect of reaching the Early-stage of Spirit Manifestation Realm.
Suddenly, the first elder's expression changed before he alarmed the others, "Sect Master! Third Elder! Take a look! The murderous aura sword is pointing towards us!"
"That can't be. Why would it point—"
The sect master casually turned his head to look before his expression quickly turned grave and solemn.
"Impossible. Why is it pointing in our direction?" the sect master furrowed his brows deeply and wondered, "Did our disciples offend the owner of the killing intent?"
"But even if they did, the person shouldn't have been able to pinpoint our location so accurately even if they were to learn its general location…"
"It should just be a coincidence… Just a coincidence… Hahaha…" the sect master laughed nervously before waving his hand to dismiss the elders, "It's nothing to worry about. Go and teach your disciples or something… Hahaha…"
The thought that the owner of the killing intent was the Dark Emperor did cross the sect master's mind, but he did not dare to think about it.
The consequences were too dire to accept.
Assuming the Dark Emperor did find quadrillions of lives to cultivate his tyrannical killing intent, the sect master would be the first target on the Dark Emperor's killing list for opening the sect.
"Then, we shall take our leave, Sect Master."
The first and third elders glanced at each other before bidding farewell to the sect master.
They hopped on their flying swords and departed the pavilion's roof, heading back to their own pavilions to guide their personal disciples in cultivation.
At the same time, the sect master watched the elders leave before his expression suddenly stiffened.
The corners of his eyes had picked up the murderous aura sword's movement!
It really was aimed at their sect!
No, more precisely, it was aimed at him!
Albion's Sword Soul crossed the distance with incomparable speed and precision, heading straight for the sect master.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe sect master wanted to leave, but it was as if he had been locked into place, forced to take the murderous aura sword head-on.
"Dammit! Fine, I'll take you—Owarghhh!"
The sect master could not even last a split second before he was obliterated along with the pavilion and everything else in the murderous aura sword's path like a laser beam that harnessed the power of the sun.
The murderous aura sword dissipated shortly after, returning to Albion.
"Sect Master?"
The first and third elder turned around after hearing the sect master's voice, but everything was gone in an instance, pavilion and all.
"Sect Master—!!!"
The first and third elders' cries rang throughout the Nine Sun Sect's Outer Court at the tragic loss of their Demigod sect master.
…
…
…
Back in Silvercove city, Albion was startled by the power of his attack.
He intended to warn the sect with that shot, but instead of firing an RPG, he had dropped a nuke on them.
The power of his Sword Soul had far exceeded the level granted to him by his sealed cultivation at the Peak-stage Spirit Refinement Realm.
It was not bound by his physical limits nor his cultivation base but something beyond.
It was the power of a Supreme Law!
The Sword Law!
