I Have A Sword

Chapter 1000: The Tianxing Ruler!

Fu Wu continued on her way to the Tianxing Ancestral Land. After a couple of steps, she stopped in her tracks and looked up. The previously shattered spacetime began to rapidly restore itself, and in no time, spacetime was completely back to normal.

Yi Nian appeared in that spacetime, and her figure appeared illusory and bizarre.

It was like she had become one with the spacetime and not at the same time.

Fu Wu was surprised. She was genuinely taken aback. It was a genuine restoration of spacetime. In addition to that, it encompassed many bizarre techniques involving spacetime manipulation. Yi Nian's understanding of spacetime exceeded the Tianxing Civilization’s understanding of it.

Fu Wu looked at Yi Nian. Then, she opened her hand before slowly clenching her fist.

Crack!

The spacetime around Yi Nian cracked open. Yi Nian's expression turned grave as she quickly waved her hands, distorting the spacetime around her.

Just then, Fu Wu vanished into thin air.

In the distance, Yi Nian raised her right hand and brought it down violently.

The spacetime around her was set ablaze, and waves of destructive energy swept across the battlefield.

The denizens of Tianxing were shocked, and they hurriedly retreated.

Just then, Fu Wu rushed forward. She placed her two fingers together and pointed forward.

Boom!

The burning spacetime trembled violently and exploded. However, the waves of destructive energy had yet to be dealt with, and they swept toward her like a tidal wave.

Fu Wu furrowed her brows and waved her sleeve.

Rumble!

The spacetime between the two ladies exploded like fireworks, forcing them to retreat simultaneously.

Upon taking a few steps backward, Fu Wu stopped and disappeared.

Bang!

A deafening explosion reverberated as Fu Wu made a beeline for Yi Nian.

Far away, Yi Nian had just come to a stop when Fu Wu appeared before her.

Yi Nian’s heart jumped, and she quickly manipulated spacetime to defend herself.

In response, Fu Wu waved her sleeve, causing the spacetime around Yi Nian to shatter.

A mysterious energy enveloped her at the same time.

It was a Domain! This was the first time Fu Wu had ever unleashed a domain since this long, drawn-out fight had started!

Suppressed by Fu Wu's domain, Yi Nian could no longer manipulate spacetime.

The spacetime around her shattered and was destroyed.

However, Yi Nian was unharmed. Her figure was in another spacetime!

"Break." Fu Wu pointed at her.

With that, a terrifying scene unfolded before Yi Nian's eyes as the spacetime in front of her began to shatter layer by layer. A myriad of spacetime layers were destroyed, and Yi Nian was forcibly dragged out from another spacetime.

Yi Nian clenched her hands tightly. The spacetime that had just shattered restored itself.

She was forcefully restoring the spacetime around her.

Unfortunately, Fu Wu was not going to let her do that under her watch.

Fu Wu waved her sleeve once again.

Boom!

The spacetime shattered and disappeared into nothingness.

However, Fu Wu didn't attack the exposed Yi Nian.

Yi Nian's face turned as white as a sheet of paper at the sight.

Fu Wu had yet to display her true power. She wasn't even taking her seriously.

Fu Wu looked at Yi Nian and commented, "Your ability to manipulate spacetime is quite impressive."

When her words fell, she flipped her palm and raised it. An invisible hand grabbed Yi Nian, immobilizing her.

The surrounding spacetime was suppressed, and Yi Nian could no longer manipulate it.

Fu Wu raised her right hand and was about to bring it down when a resonant sword hum pervaded the skies. The next moment, the invisible hand gripping Yi Nian shattered with a crisp noise.

Ye Guan appeared next to Yi Nian with the Qingxuan Sword in hand.

With a casual flick of her sleeve, Fu Wu sent a wave of energy streaking across the air.

Ye Guan's expression changed. Without hesitation, he pulled Yi Nian behind him and gripped his sword tightly with both hands. Then, he slashed out with every ounce of strength he could muster.

Bang!

The sword light shattered upon impact. The force sent both Yi Nian and Ye Guan tumbling through the air. When they finally came to a halt, the spacetime behind them disintegrated into nothingness.

A thin line of blood seeped out of the corners of their mouths at the same time.

Fu Wu watched Ye Guan silently, and her eyes were calm and unreadable.

Ye Guan wiped away the blood from his lips, and a heavy weight settled on his heart. He stood no chance against Fu Wu.

A bitter smile tugged at his lips. He had just mastered the Tianxing Physique, but he was still nothing but an insignificant fly before Fu Wu's overwhelming power.

What miserable luck!

Sensing his thoughts, Little Pagoda shattered the silence, remarking, "You’re starting to look a lot like your father. He had his share of days like this, too."

Ye Guan asked through gritted teeth. "Was my dad even more pathetic than me?"

"Oh, by about ten times, give or take."

Ye Guan had no idea what to say.

"That lady is terrifying, and she's not even taking you seriously. You and Yi Nian aren’t her match even if you join hands."

Ye Guan’s gaze drifted toward Fu Wu in the distance. The presence she exuded was reminiscent of someone he had encountered long ago—Clan Leader Jing.

As for who was stronger between them, he couldn’t say for sure.

From across the battlefield, Fu Wu’s eyes briefly landed on the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Guan’s hand.

"Nice sword," she remarked coolly.

Without another word, she turned around and began making her way toward the Ancestral Land. Her figure disappeared into the distance.

Ye Guan glanced at Fu Wu but made no further move.

She had already shown mercy. To push any further would only be reckless and ungrateful. Yi Nian’s eyes flickered with a mix of emotions, but she refrained from making any moves as well.

She knew that even if she and Ye Guan were to join forces, they wouldn't stand a chance against Fu Wu.

How tragic.

This generation of Tianxing citizens was going to bear the sins of a late Tianxing Ruler.

Under the watchful eyes of the denizens of Tianxing, Fu Wu walked into the ancestral land.

There was no one left to stand in her way.

There were countless stone pillars inside the Tianxing Ancestral Land, forming an endless sea of towering stones. Upon each pillar sat a crystal, and within those crystals lay seeds, shimmering like gemstones.

Those seeds were the Life Seeds—the essence of the Tianxing Civilization. Whenever a fruit of the Tianxing Civilization ended up perishing, they'd return here. Their souls would be encapsulated in a seed, awaiting the next cycle of reincarnation.

At the center of this vast forest of pillars stood a towering stone, crystalline blue, shining like a cluster of stars. It rose several dozen meters into the air, emitting a radiant light.

It was none other than the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone.

The Reincarnation Ancestral Stone of the Ancestral Land and the Tianxing Life Tree were the most sacred artifacts of the Tianxing civilization. Destroying either of them meant severing the civilization’s future.

And Fu Wu had come here to destroy the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone.

With a single step forward, an overwhelming power surged out from the ancestral land, rippling through the air like a tidal wave. Fu Wu's goal wasn’t just the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone—she intended to obliterate every single Life Seed.

She was here to bury the Tianxing Civilization.

Just then, the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone trembled violently. In the next instant, a brilliant green light shot out from its core, surging toward Fu Wu with terrifying speed.

Fu Wu raised her delicate hand and waved it gently.

Boom!

The green light shattered into pieces.

Still, the force pushed Fu Wu a hundred meters away. She stared at the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone, watching as it trembled violently. Soon, a shadowy figure emerged from within the stone.

The denizens of Tianxing looked on in confusion and doubt.

Could it be the spirit of the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone?

The shadowy figure solidified, taking the form of a lady in a flowing green dress. Her long hair was tied high into a ponytail, and she had a sheathed blade in her right hand. She had an ethereal presence, as though she stood beyond the confines of the mortal world.

"She's the Tianxing Ruler, Hou Qing!" someone exclaimed in disbelief.

Hou Qing was the fourth Tianxing Ruler of the Tianxing Civilization. The Tianxing Civilization have had six Tianxing Rulers so far. During Hou Qing's era, the Chief Enforcement Officer wasn’t the strongest; it was the Tianxing Ruler.

It wasn’t until Fu Wu that the civilization had someone capable of rivaling the Tianxing Ruler.

Before Fu Wu's generation, the Tianxing Rulers were invincible—they were the strongest of all Tianxing fruits.

Hou Qing's return filled everyone with hope and excitement. They had no idea that the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone had such a trump card. But in hindsight, it made perfect sense. How could this place not have a trump card?

Fu Wu stared at Hou Qing, and her face was impassive and unreadable.

Hou Qing’s gaze also fell onto Fu Wu.

The two ladies exchanged glances. "Ancestral Stone, please," Hou Qing suddenly said.

The Reincarnation Ancestral Stone trembled violently. Then, the crystals turned into steaks of blue light and converged in one place.

All the Life Seeds had been collected!

Ye Guan looked at the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone with surprise. It was evident that the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone was sentient. It appeared quite powerful, but Ye Guan was not sure just how strong it was.

Once the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone had gathered all the Life Seeds,

Hou Qing’s gaze returned to Fu Wu.

"Let’s go!" she exclaimed.

Words were unnecessary at this point, and Hou Qing did not bother asking Fu Wu about the reason she had decided to do all this. Fu Wu had come this far to kill, and there had to be a good reason for it.

What Hou Qing could do at this point was prepare for the final battle!

Reasons were no longer important.

"You go first," Fu Wu said, calm.

"Alright!"

With that, she stepped forward, and a wave of saber light tore through the heavens and earth, crashing down fiercely toward Fu Wu.

Boom!

Fu Wu remained motionless at the sight.

Hou Qing struck again.

Fu Wu waved her sleeve.

Bang!

The saber light shattered, but she still didn't budge even an inch.

Hou Qing took to the air, and the spacetime above Fu Wu exploded.

A terrifying saber light fell straight down.

Bang!

Fu Wu pointed at it, and the saber light shattered.

Fu Wu was still unmoving!

Swoosh!

Fu Wu vanished into thin air.

Hou Qing stopped dead in her tracks, as Fu Wu had reappeared behind her.

The saber in Hou Qing’s hand shattered and disappeared completely in the proverbial blink of an eye.

Fu Wu shook her head, and disappointment was evident in her eyes as she turned to the Ancestral Stone in the distance, saying, "Let the first Tianxing Ruler come out, or let them all loose!"

Fu Wu's declaration rendered both heaven and the earth silent!
