Chapter 2365 - The Heaven-splitting Ancestor
In that moment, many people felt their heads blank out. They could not believe what had just happened before them.
The Celestial Sword Saint had beheaded Tu San with a single stroke!
It had to be mentioned that Tu San had the support of the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, someone who was only second to Grand Exalts.
“Celestial Sword Saint, y- y-” Tu San’s head called out in fright in the air. He knew that if the Celestial Sword Saint wanted to kill him, he would have died long ago. It would have been impossible for his soul to survive.
Afterwards, his head rapidly joined up with his body, becoming one again.
“These are the consequences you speak of...” The Celestial Sword Saint’s response rang out in an awe-inspiring manner. He was completely fearless.
Tu San heard a naked provocation from the Celestial Sword Saint’s words, making him both surprised and furious. He pointed at the Sword God Mountains as his lips trembled, but he did not dare to utter a single word.
At this moment, the endless sea of clouds above the Sword God Mountains suddenly began to churn violently. At the same time, an indescribably tremendous pressure enveloped the entire Desolate Plane.
An extremely terrifying will had crossed through outer space, descending upon the Desolate Plane.
The arrival of the will made the entire Desolate Plane tremble slightly. Everything fell silent and began to shake in fear.
“It’s the Heaven-splitting Ancestor...”
“The Heaven-splitting Ancestor’s will has descended...”
...
The peak experts gathered outside the Sword God Mountains were all stern. They pulled away from the Sword God Mountains as they looked at the sky fearfully.
“Master, you finally came...” Tu San was overjoyed. The personal arrival of the Heaven-splitting Ancestor made his confidence swell. He became fearless, and his vexation caused by the Celestial Sword Saint evaporated in the blink of an eye.
“Master, I was almost slain by the Celestial Sword Saint’s sword. This Celestial Sword Saint doesn’t even plan on showing you any respect...” Tu San fanned the flames, pleading for his master to teach the Celestial Sword Saint a firm lesson.
“Celestial Sword Saint, you’ve gone a little far...”
A tremendous voice boomed out through the surroundings. The mist and clouds churned before condensing into a figure that stood tens of thousand metres high.
The facial features of the figure were very clear. He seemed life-like. He was a man who seemed to be in his thirties.
Even though his appearance was nothing special, he possessed a supreme bearing. He seemed undaunting, causing even the entire Desolate Plane to shake below everyone’s feet.
This person’s arrival seemed to replace the world there, becoming the only god present. The laws of the world began to revolve around him; they were under his control.
The Celestial Sword Saint remained seated on the Sword God Mountains. His ancient figure was like a mountain, completely immovable. He stared beyond the Sword God Mountains calmly, looking at the Heaven-splitting Ancestor condensed from the mist and clouds. He was completely calm, showing no particular emotion at all.
At the same time, Jian Chen emerged from a gloomy cave elsewhere in the Sword God Mountains. He became extremely stern as he stared at the huge figure outside.
Even though he did not recognise this person, he could already guess their identity.
“Why does the Heaven-splitting Ancestor want to take me away?” Jian Chen felt very curious. After all, he had no ties with the Heaven-splitting clan. Why had a supreme figure like the Heaven-splitting Ancestor suddenly started paying attention to him?
Although a supreme Godking had passed away in the Neptunean Divine Palace, he refused to believe that the Heaven-splitting Ancestor would step forward personally for this supreme Godking.
After all, the Heaven-splitting clan was not the Solitary Sword lineage. Mo Cheng was the only successor of the Solitary Sword lineage apart from the Solitary Sword Ancestor, so his death naturally alarmed the Solitary Sword Ancestor.
On the other hand, the Heaven-splitting clan was huge. The Heaven-splitting Ancestor probably did not even know the name of the supreme Godking who died in the Neptunean Divine Palace.
Moreover, the supreme Godking had died to Ming Dong’s hands. Jian Chen was not the one who killed him. There were even fewer reasons for the Heaven-splitting Ancestor to pay attention to him.
Jian Chen thoughts wandered, but he could not understand why.
At this moment, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor took action. He directly sent a palm strike towards the Sword God Mountains with his huge figure condensed from mist and clouds.
With that, space collapsed and the ground trembled. The orderly laws all became chaotic as devastating power pressed towards the Celestial Sword Saint on the Sword God Mountains.
The power was just too terrifying. It had surpassed the limits that space could endure. Even the tiniest slivers of power that leaked out was enough to make space collapse.
The expressions of the peak experts gathered outside the Sword God Mountains all changed in shock when they sensed the power of the palm strike.
“You want to deal with me just with your will? Heaven-splitting Ancestor, you underestimate me far too much!” The Celestial Sword Saint was immovable on the Sword God Mountains. He remained seated on the ground and did not stand up, but a powerful sword intent gathered on him.
Afterwards, he extended a finger, and immediately, it shone with blinding light. All the Laws of the Sword in the surroundings seemed to gather at the finger, shooting out as a strand of sword Qi that shone like a galaxy.
The sword Qi tore through the air, leaving behind a trailing streak of darkness. It pierced through the surroundings.
The Sword Qi collided with the Heaven-splitting Ancestor’s misty hand. The expected boom did not come. The sword Qi directly punched through the hand, tearing through it in an unstoppable manner before directly flying towards the huge figure of the Heaven-splitting Ancestor.
The will from the Heaven-splitting Ancestor was unable to deal with the Celestial Sword Saint’s sword Qi. Wherever the sword Qi passed by, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor’s figure rapidly collapsed.
In the blink of an eye, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor’s arm vanished, and the Celestial Sword Saint’s sword Qi directly punched through his huge body.
Immediately, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor’s body shook and began to blur. He had almost collapsed.
“The Three Lives sword intent. It really is the Three Lives sword intent...”
The mighty voice of the Heaven-splitting Ancestor boomed out as his eyes shone brightly. He stared at the Celestial Sword Saint in interest.
“What! The Three Lives sword intent...” All the peak experts outside the Sword God Mountains cried out in response to the Heaven-splitting Ancestor’s words.
“No wonder. No wonder the Celestial Sword Saint doesn’t even fear the Heaven-splitting Ancestor. Turns out he obtained the Three Lives Sword God’s legacy,” Tyne sighed in amazement in the crowd.
“The Three Lives Sword God was a sovereign of the world from the last aeon. He was a Grand Exalt who specialised in the Way of the Sword. Over a million years ago, the place where the Three Lives Sword God passed away was discovered. When all the experts of the Saints’ World arrived there, it was already empty. The legacy was gone, and no one knew who obtained it. It looks like the Celestial Sword Saint is the one who received the Three Lives Sword God’s legacy...” A peak expert sighed in amazement with mixed feelings.
“The Celestial Sword Saint actually has a Grand Exalt’s legacy, and a Grand Exalt who specialises in the Way of the Sword. No wonder he’s so powerful.”
“I just wonder if he has grasped the Authority of the Grand Exalt. The Authority of the Grand Exalt is truly an invincible technique that instills despair in opponents...”
“It would be impolite of me to not return the favour. My Sword God Mountains is not a place that anyone can trample,” the Celestial Sword Saint said coldly from the Sword God Mountains. A sword hovered above his head, shining with blinding light that illuminated the entire sky.
In the next moment, the sword seemed to fuse with the Celestial Sword Saint. With his power and will, it shot off and vanished from the Desolate Plane.
On the Nine Clouds Plane on the other side of the universe, the white-robed Heaven-splitting Ancestor sat leisurely within a pavilion inside the Heaven-splitting clan that stood supreme on the Nine Clouds Plane. He raised his head slightly and looked at the sky above him.
At this moment, the sky above the Heaven-splitting clan ripped open. A sword churning with a terrifying glow directly shot towards the Heaven-splitting clan.
