Chapter 1473 Lost
Chapter 1473 Lost
The world seemed to bow to Diasho Ken's strike.
His arms crossed, his short sword cutting across with a backhand grip, while his long sword continued forward with a forehand grip. It was as though he was creating a crucifix, passing judgement upon the world from his lofty position above.
Dyon was beaten backward, Ken's strike tearing apart the whole of the valley.
"[World Revolves: Second Revolution]!"
A cross of holy light appeared in the skies. It was only then that Ken's second will appeared, a resplendently gold half-step dao of holy will!
For a youth of his caliber to not only push the ever-illusive sword will with the 9th intent realm, but also a supreme law in holy will as well… It was practically unheard of!
Geniuses of Diasho Ken's caliber weren't like Dyon. Of course, they had the ability to learn numerous wills. If they attempted to, maybe they could learn as many as Dyon although their levels would be inferior. However, everyone agreed that this was a foolish thing to do.
Once one enters the path of daos, what becomes most important is the refinement and tweaking of your path and comprehension. It becomes vital to focus on just a few wills so that they can be brought to the highest level.
It had to be remembered that the only reason Dyon had so many half-step daos wasn't because he was some heaven defying genius with heaven defying comprehension abilities. He quite literally exchanged his life force in exchange for this comprehension he gained! If it wasn't for this, how could it be so easy to reach the One with Dao realm?
There would come a time where Dyon too would likely have to cut down his choices and focus on a select few so that he could reach the pinnacle of their realms, just like Diasho Ken had!
"True God Sacharro, take my strike!"
The battered and bruised Dyon watched as yet another crucifix of holy light descended upon him. If it wasn't for the situation, he would be awed by its beauty. The purity of holy will was truly something that could hardly be matched. It was no wonder why it stood even above celestial will.
The light purified Dyon's attempts to gather up power. It was as though the attack gained a domain of its own, feeding off of False True God Diasho's pseudo sword domain to rain down upon Dyon.
As a celestial, without the ability to gather power from his surroundings, Dyon's strength more than halved. Suddenly, the roles had reversed.
[World Revolves] was a divine grade technique with 33 revolutions. By all rights, until he reached the dao realm, Diasho Ken had no business using this technique. However, there were two reasons he was able to.
The first was because he had entered his Sword God's Harmony battle form! The second was because he was a sword sprite using a sword-based technique. As his race was beloved by the Heavens, how could they not have certain advantages?
Dyon's body was completely enveloped by the holy crucifix.
The walls of the valley shattered, becoming the mold for the cross. Thousands of years from now, when the newest batch of young celestials entered this danger zone, maybe they would no longer call it the howling wind valley, but instead something entirely different…
This was truly the meaning of [World Revolves]. Even its second of thirty-three attacks could fundamentally change the landscape!
Diasho Ken watched his attack descend, his billowing, vertical, golden filaments of hair calming and falling back to their usual black. His face was pale, drained of all blood. It felt as though he had lost half of his body weight…
He turned back to check on his Heavenly Sword Guild. Though they had been suppressed, they shouldn't have been injured. But, his expression could only turn ugly in the end.
The reverberating effects of his and Dyon's battle were too devastating. The members of the Heavenly Sword Guild had been in no position to defend themselves. In the end, the loose attacks from the battle had caused more than 70% of them to be in no fighting condition. In fact, many of them were half dead.
Even if Diasho Ken led what remained of them to claim the surrounding area around Low Gold City, he wouldn't be able to keep it for very long. This didn't even mention the fact that he was completely spent. Soon, he would lose consciousness. There were too many consequences to using Sword God's Harmony.
Suddenly, Captain Diasho's ear twitched.
The cacophony of his attack had been so blaring that he lost his hearing for a moment. So, why was it that he suddenly heard the soft patter of light footsteps?
Diasho Ken turned back to see a beaten and bloodied Dyon. Blood soaked down his body, only to mix in with flying dirt and rocks to form a disgusting murky red color.
Dyon supposedly had two of the three greatest defensive constitutions in existence. Yet, he had used neither of them against Captain Diasho. Was it because he was just a fool?
Of course not. He needed to draw Diasho Ken out, he needed him to go all out and pour everything he had into a final attack.
In that moment, not only did Dyon activate his Bronze-Silk Realm Diamond Skin, he also activated his Silver Mirror Constitution in full force with Bold Type energy!
Seeing Diasho Ken's condition, Dyon didn't say a word. He simply turned to leave.
Diasho Ken's features contorted in rage, but the energy he wasted clenching his fist made it feel as though the whole world was spinning around him. He was far too weak, if he really collapsed in this danger zone, even if he could normally ignore its so-called danger with impunity, he would still die a hundred times over.
Rationality told him that he needed to leave, but his pride and arrogance got the best of him. How could he simply turn and leave? Even though no one had recorded what happened, the whole world would know after today that he, Diasho Ken, had released his Sword God's Harmony and still lost!
