Chapter 2050: 850, Sword Dao Overlord, Sword_2

Han Muye whispered, his body enveloped in spiritual light, and then his figure moved and disappeared.

…

The Endless Void.

A world permeated with an illusory atmosphere.

Between the heaven and earth there, stood a massive altar.

The azure-gray altar was a billion miles in both length and width, solid and boundless.

Above the altar, divine patterns crisscrossed, exuding an aura of ancient times.

Within each crevice of the divine patterns, golden blood flowed.

The source of these bloodstreams was a series of colossal stone pillars soaring a hundred thousand zhang high.

The pillars, a thousand zhang in circumference, were adorned with spiraling Flowing Light textures, emitting a profound aura.

At the top of each pillar, hung various figures.

Some were the massive bodies of divine beasts, others the lean figures of the human race.

There were also all kinds of withered foreign races.

Without exception, all these bodies radiated powerful strength but were weak in spirit.

“Phoenix, rest assured, I will definitely find a way to save you and get you out of here.”

Atop a lofty pillar, a Defiant Dragon with a mouthful of sharp teeth was bound in golden chains.

Looking at another pillar where a body blazed with flames, the Defiant Dragon’s eyes shone bright.

“Ah, if I had known you were here, I would have come sooner.”

His voice was filled with eagerness.

On the other side, the figure within the flames was too lazy to move.

“Save your energy. When your origin power is no longer enough to sustain you, you’ll understand pain,” came a gentle female voice from the opposite side.

This response made the Defiant Dragon even keener, and he burst into hearty laughter.

“I knew it; Phoenix, you still care about me. All these years since leaving the Desolate Wilderness, I have been searching—”

Before he could finish, a voice from not too far away interrupted, “Ptui, you still have the face to mention the Desolate Wilderness.”

It was a rough voice, filled with impatience.

On another stone pillar, an Azure Dragon’s vast, yellow body coiled, bound by blood-red chains.

Blood flowed along the chains, then was drawn into the altar’s divine patterns through the grooves on the pillars.

“Azure Dragon, you’re not up to scratch, failing to even protect the Phoenix.”

“I told you back then, you’re not worthy of the Phoenix.”

The Defiant Dragon’s voice was loud and resonant.

This voice echoed around, and the many figures hung upon the pillars all looked up.

Perhaps, this was the most interesting thing to have happened in countless years.

There, the Azure Dragon’s body trembled, and a fierce aura surged.

This only quickened the speed of the blood flow.

“Azure Dragon, ignore his nonsense. He won’t last much longer,” a voice came from afar amidst the flames.

The surroundings fell into silence again, with only a few Heavenly Demon beasts’ silhouettes fluttering about.

“Don’t disbelieve,” said the Defiant Dragon, raising his head to look at the even more majestic spinning light array connected to the altar above.

“I will soon be able to…”

…

Continuing to move freely, a month later, Han Muye arrived a million miles outside the altar.

“The Gate of Planes.”

There was a tremble in the voice filled with chaos.

“Such a gate only existed in legend; I never expected it to really exist.”

It was said to exist.

But not really.

As far as Han Muye knew, the last of the Shepherd Star Clan left through this Gate of Planes.

Of course, whether Sword God Lu Yue left through here, he didn’t know.

But he was aware of another fact.

The master of Nine Mystic Mountain had stepped out from here once, and he was the only one who ever returned.

However, Han Muye’s knowledge was very limited.

Many memories related to this gate were extremely vague.

It is likely that such an entity could easily affect the Rules of time and space.

“For what purpose are these divine beasts, the beings of Overlord level, imprisoned here?”

Chaos looked at the pillars on that altar, his body shivering.

On each of those pillars was a Half-Step Overlord, or even someone of the Overlord Level.

How many top figures from so many universes have been imprisoned here?

Who could accomplish such a feat?

Han Muye shook his head.

He didn’t know.

Was it the soul avatar of the Nine Mysteries Peak Master?

Or some other powerful being?

What kind of being could gather so many peak powerhouses?

Around the altar, countless Heavenly Demonic beasts flashed and danced in and out of sight.

These Heavenly Demonic beasts were all infusing their own Origin into the altar.

“Boom—”

Not far away, a thunderous sound erupted.

Several Heavenly Demonic beasts’ bodies were shattered, turning into Heavenly Beads.

Streaks of flowing light shot through the air.

Strong fighters from the myriad domains either joined forces or acted alone, all beginning their hunt for the Heavenly Demonic Beasts.

Here, Heavenly Demonic Beasts seemed endless, and the weakest among them were at least Fourth and Fifth Rank.

For these top fighters, killing one was equivalent to acquiring a treasure.

Figure after figure charged at the dispersed Heavenly Demonic Beasts.

As for the altar, everyone had seen it.

However, these powerful beings knew very well that they definitely couldn’t do anything to the altar.

Even the Supreme First-Class Heavenly Demon Beasts guarding the altar were something they needed to be wary of.

If these Heavenly Demon Beasts made a move, they would have to retreat.

To take down a Supreme First-Class Heavenly Demon Beast, they needed to work together to stand a chance.

The battles in the void drew attention from the altar above and its surroundings.

Figures atop the stone pillars looked up.

“Celestial Honor Peak Strength, not bad.”

“The Puppet Fighters of the Galaxy Universe, with their enhanced combat strength, can reach the Immortal Venerable realm, not bad.

“That sword array is sharp indeed, concentrating power, should it reach Half-Step Overlord Level?”

Whispers drifted over.

Han Muye stood still, his eyes emitting a sharp gleam.

With a movement of his body, he quietly flew toward the direction of the altar.

He sought to find the answers he desired.

He wanted to know who had built this altar and what purpose it served.

“Roar—”

A Heavenly Demon Beast swooped down, blocking the way in front of Han Muye.

This Heavenly Demon Beast had a massive body, and its ferocious face showed anger.

The roar reverberated in all directions, wings spread open behind countless Heavenly Demon Beasts, flying towards Han Muye.

“Clear the path for Void Sword Immortal,” Huang Zhihu’s voice rang out.

Following her command, all thirty thousand cultivators of the Myriad Domains Battleground formed a battle formation, wielding a Ten Thousand Li Sword Light that slashed directly in front.

No one hesitated.

This was discipline in action.

This was why the battle formation organized by Huang Zhihu possessed such combat strength.

The sword light swept across, no Heavenly Demon Beast could resist.

The dazzling sword light cut through the void, invoking howling gusts of wind, tearing apart Heavenly Demon Beast after beast.

All that stood before the sword edge were directly felled.

In an instant, Heavenly Beads rained down like a deluge.

Countless streaks of light flew in all directions.

The scattered Origin Force surged, forming into thick columns of dense vapor, charging towards the altar.

The columns struck the altar, seemingly activating the golden flowing light on it, causing the golden halo emitted to start sparkling.

As the golden light sparked, the chains binding the divine beasts and the powerful beings shackled to the pillars lit up as well.

The once silent and vast altar of billions of miles seemed to come to life.

The divine beasts and the strong beings, who had previously hung their heads low, now slowly lifted their heads.

“They’re trying to assault the Azure Heaven Altar?”

“Have they gone mad? The last one who tried, it was Sword God Lu Yue, right?”

“Could it be he wants to reopen the Azure Heaven Altar, to unlock the gateway to other planes?”

“Impossible, apart from the Nine Mysteries Peak Master of the past, no one could…”

“Don’t say that, doesn’t that guy look a lot like the Nine Mysteries Peak Master? It’s just, I seem to have forgotten what the Nine Mysteries Peak Master looked like…”

Huang Zhihu led the way with her long sword, forging a path forward.

Behind her, the battle intent of all the elites from the Ten Thousand Domains soared.

Ahead, two Supreme First-Class Heavenly Demon Beasts swooped down.

Supreme First-Class.

Wasn’t this what they had been looking forward to?

“Kill.”

Huang Zhihu shouted loudly as she wielded her giant sword, which detonated into billions of streaks of sword light.

The sword light shot around the two Supreme First-Class Heavenly Demon Beasts, forming a cage around them.

She soared into action, a golden armor phantom emerging around her, and above the armor, another layer of Golden Radiance Armor took shape.

With a three-foot-long sword in hand, the combat strength emanating from Huang Zhihu turned into a power that could soar to the skies.

“Leveraging the Power of Artifact Refining, combat strength increased by a hundredfold; this is the method of the Galaxy Universe,” someone on the altar’s pillars whispered.

“Among the younger generation, there are already such elites?” An old man locked to a pillar looked up with a look of relief on his face.

Huang Zhihu, wielding her sword, went to kill a Heavenly Demon Beast trapped by billions of sword lights.

The rest of the thirty thousand elites charged at the other one.

At that moment, Han Muye, who had dashed out, landed on the altar.

He slowly crouched down, extending his hand to touch the rough and heavy altar.

“Boom—”

An endless flood of memories poured into his mind.

Blood spurted from Han Muye’s seven orifices instantaneously.

His eyes bled, yet they shone with endless divine light.

“The Azure Heaven Plane, the Great Dao Origin intact and flawless?”

“Suppressing all illusory planes, only by entering therein can one find eternity?”

Above the sky, a golden vortex began to spin.
