Boom!
Another glorious explosion shook the skies, with the raging fires leaping high above, from Qiao’er’s second Dragon Breath Pill she threw at Baili Yutian.
The result was the same as the first time unfortunately. Following the flashes of lightning, the fire soon got pulverized into nothing. Only the lightning remained, flashing across the skies, a hymn to the coming of an overlord…
Baili Yutian had no hair out of place, taking his time to walk ever nearer to the sweet girl with a smirk on his face.
“Miss, what you got may stop others, but never myself. Can you see why? Ha-ha-ha, because I am just that much stronger. Every law, limit, rule in this world is nothing to the truly strong, one such as I!”
Qiao’er shivered, looking shocked and stumbling back. She had lost her confidence and was now sinking into terror.
[His strength is inhuman, like a sacred beast. But more of a fledgling, having yet to mature.]
Regardless, Qiao’er still found it dismal how such an aberration walked this earth, besides her dear dad, of course.
At least Zhuo Fan got a Sovereign’s legacy, while he…
Qiao’er’s eyes widened, staring hard at the incoming firm steps with a lost look.
[Or maybe this old coot grasps the Sword Sovereign’s essence?]
[It all makes sense now, why Invincible Sword is so ridiculously strong compared to the other Sword Kings. He has come to touch upon the core of Sword Sovereign’s swordsmanship, having gleaned into its fundamentals.]
Not even Zhuo Fan could top that. He was more quantity than quality, taking every legacy he got for a trial run and not delving deeper into their core values.
As for Invincible Sword, he only had Sundering Sword’s swordsmanship and even that was just a fraction from the Sundering Sword. This, however, proved enough to take him to the pinnacle of power in this domain.
Zhuo Fan and Invincible Sword, both learned Sovereign paths. But as to who would come on top, be it the broad approach or the focused approach, remained to be seen.
Though facts already tipped the balance in Zhuo Fan’s favor. He had widened his gaze while Invincible Sword focused it instead, making it one of the main reasons for going after the other divine swords.
He learned all the Sundering Sword Art had to give him, and to go further, he needed the other arts to rise above this stagnation.
Qiao’er had lost her precious calm, her palms feeling clammy.
She knew then that she wasn’t facing some average cultivator, but a future Zhuo Fan. As for Zhuo Fan’s capacity for growth, she based it off of dragon ancestor describing Zhuo Fan’s limitless future.
A Sovereign inheritance was a huge deal. Even with a shoddy perception, you’d still rise above the masses. This went double for Invincible Sword and Zhuo Fan, cultivation geniuses the world had never seen. Add to that a Sovereign’s inheritance and they would become something the sacred beasts would come to pay attention to.
Qiao’er had the minor Dragon Breath Pills dragon ancestor gave to her for protection, but they proved to be nothing but parlor tricks before the one grasping Sundering Sword’s complete Sundering Sword Art.
“I’m going to end you!”
Qiao’er shook hard, staring at the man coming ever closer, and five Dragon Breath Pills showed in her hand before throwing them all at him.
Boom!
The first unleashed sky-high flames upon contact with Invincible Sword. Before the golden inferno suffered the same fate the last two times, the second Dragon Breath Pill vame, unleashing another huge explosion.
The second wave of flames overlapped the first, swallowing Baili Yutian completely.
Then came the last three, throwing inferno after inferno at Baili Yutian.
The purple lightning flashed nonstop, to scatter the flames, but five raging fires were too much indeed. Even under the constant lightning strikes from the heavens, the fire never died out.
The three Sword Kings grew grave once more with worry. Despite it all, Baili Yutian’s footsteps never wavered, still walking on, yet a slight frown was still noticeable.
“Aah!”
A sudden cry came from him, unleashing all his power. As the five searing waves of fire were about to enclose him, booms resounded as lightning gushed from within, tearing at the fires. The dreadful lightning flashed and punched a hole in the inferno, helping the lightning coming from above to attack it from the outside until no golden flames remained.
The Sword Kings gasped, unwilling to believe what they were seeing.
“Patriarch’s power exceeds that of the world’s?” Baili Yuyun glanced at the other two, his voice shaky, “Any other Genesis Stage expert relies on the world’s power for their strength, even we, Sword Kings, are no different. Yet Patriarch…”
“Yeah.”
Another Sword King nodded, “Some say the world’s power has a limit. If one comes to overcome it, they would be able to tear the world apart. I always thought it to be a myth. How can the world have a limit? Now I know that Patriarch had already attained this realm. It’s inconceivable! We all saw how the world’s power barely put a dent in the thick flames, yet the Patriarch’s own strength cleaved them. What more proof is there?”
The other two nodded, their eyes shining with excitement.
It was pride in their clan that the Invincible Sword was indeed the strongest in the five lands. Not even the world could stop him.
They had no way of knowing that the world’s power had no limit. It was this domain’s scope that had a limit.
A limit that not even Sword Kings could touch upon, but Baili Yutian did.
It was solid proof he had outgrown the mortal domain and could no longer be classified as such.
The mortal domain was a mere dimension, array, that Heavenly Sovereign formed, thus having its limits. But like Baili Yutian said, enough strength could crush those limits.
He came before it, but only probing about, unable to understand its intricacies.
He was still in the dark that he was among the very few in the mortal domain qualified to enter the Sacred Domain…
Hu~
A biting wind swept the area, with a black dust blowing everywhere. Baili Yutian stood in the air and smiled victoriously, “Miss, five Dragon Breath Pills can overlap, but it’s unfortunate they couldn’t combine into a single strike, coming utterly short of a true expert’s might. The middle part, that of connecting them, is the biggest flaw. So no matter how many you throw at me, they can’t, ugh…”
Baili Yutian declared smugly, like instructing a child, but then found his audience wasn’t there to humor his flair of the dramatic.
[The twerp is sly!]
“Patriarch, she threw the five Dragon Breath Pills not to beat you, but to run away!” Baili Yuyun popped over and exclaimed.
Pa!
The resounding slap sent him reeling, with Baili Yutian barking, “You think I don’t know that? Humph, don’t just stand there, go and find her! I wanted Zhuo Fan and the three divine swords, but now I also want her. She thinks she can toy with me? Humph, I’ll show her the real meaning of strength!”
“Yes!”
They all bowed at once, following his orders.
Meanwhile, Zhuo Fan’s gang were speeding away when they heard a loud commotion behind that drew their attention. They gasped at the sight of the golden inferno.
[How is that wee lass so strong, and at such a young age?]
The flames barely held for a few seconds before purple lightning snuffed them out.
Ouyang Lingtian cried out, “I-Invincible Sword, that’s his might when using the world’s power. He caught up. Will the young girl be able to stop him?”
“Hey dad, don’t worry, our Zhuo clan’s the strongest there is. A child can handle three lousy Sword Kings, so there’s no way Invincible Sword stands a chance either against our clan’s young miss, he-he-he…” Ouyang Changqing gave a dismissive wave.
Ouyang Lingtian’s face twitched, “Boy, you sure switch camps fast, not waiting for me to die before relinquishing your history and ancestors.”
“What are you saying, dad? I’m still Ouyang and not turning my back on my ancestors. It’s merely showing respect to my big brother. My big brother Zhuo and I will do great things together. Ain’t that glorious?”
Ouyang Lingtian rolled his eyes, turning serious as he glanced at Zhuo Fan. Since he was of the Sea Bright Sect, his son would become the sect’s successor. Though with Zhuo Fan being so outstanding, a real go-getter, he showed incredible potential and promise.
For his son to follow him might not be such a bad idea after all. By all accounts, this was a breach of sects’ rules, though Ouyang Lingtian turned a blind eye.
Anyone would strive to grow, and only a fool would be blind to Zhuo Fan’s prospects to not follow.
Although, Murong Xue always seemed to be against him, “Humph, spineless coward, falling in with devils.”
Boom!
A huge explosion came from behind just then, with a golden glow reaching high in the sky, before it was soon covered in purple.
Zhuo Fan shook, stopping for once, “There’s no point rushing it. Qiao’er can’t hold them. Prepare to fight…”
