Chapter 790: Defeating the Sword Sovereign

Translator: jinzeffect

In the Swordsmen Guild headquarters’ garden, everyone emerged from the sword-shaped door of light.

The Tiger Fang Sword Saint was already waiting there.

“How is it? Everyone benefited greatly right? Only you people are able to enter the Sword World once every 20 years. Once you are at the Soul Merge Realm, you can only enter once every 100 years. Furthermore, it only lasts for seven days.”

The Sword World was greatly beneficial even for sword dao saints, after all, it was created by the Unbounded Doyen.

“It is good, but the duration is too short.” Yuwen Haojie wished he could continue.

Inside the Sword World, half the time was used to comprehend the sword dao law, while the other half was used to search for sword dao lights. He was almost going to capture a first rate sword dao light, but the time limit was up and he had been forced to exit.

The Tiger Fang Sword Saint laughed but he didn’t reply to Yuwen Haojie. He said to everyone, “You are our Swordsmen Guild’s strongest sword emperors. Be prepared as the Saint Spirit Continent’s Great Emperor Rankings will be reset in around half a year. But then, release your qi presence and do your best to enter the top rankings. Remember, don’t think that being nameless is good. Being ranked on the Great Emperor Rankings will give your saint spirit qi fate. The qi fate will be crucial for your future.”

The Saint Spirit Continent’s Great Emperor Rankings was a very mysterious treasure. Just like the Sword Emperor Rankings, it would only refresh every 20 years, but if you didn’t take the initiative to release the qi presence, the Great Emperor Rankings would ignore your existence and wouldn’t list you in the rankings. It was the reason why there were plenty of individuals stronger than the people ranked on the Great Emperor Rankings. However, in the Tiger Fang Sword Saint’s opinion, apart from people with particular reasons, those who didn’t want to be listed in the Great Emperor Rankings were fools. The Saint Spirit Continent was a high-class continent and with the Saint Spirit Continent’s qi fate, everything done in the future would be much smoother.

“Understood.” Everyone nodded.

Everyone naturally knew the benefits of being on the Great Emperor Rankings, they too wanted to know what their ranks would be when the Great Emperor Rankings were reset.

“I wonder what the Great Emperor Rankings are like?” Li Fuchen’s eyes had a flash of radiance.

The Great Emperor Rankings were also called the Saint Spirit Great Emperor Rankings. It was a treasure that gathered the Saint Spirit Continent’s qi fate. On the Great Emperor Rankings, the higher the rank the stronger the qi fate. It was said that anyone that could maintain 1st rank for 100 consecutive years would immediately progress into a saint and there wouldn’t be any hidden problems.

Right now, the 1st ranker of the Great Emperor Rankings, the Heaven Emperor, was 1st rank for 80 years. He still required another 20 years before fulfilling the 100 years requirement.

Of course, it was truly too difficult to stay 1st rank on the Great Emperor Rankings for 100 years. In reality, the strength difference between the top rankers wasn’t too huge. As long as they didn’t improve fast enough, they might just be surpassed.

The Heaven Emperor had truly terrifying strength to maintain 1st rank on the Great Emperor Rankings for 80 years. Even the Sword Emperor was only able to retreat unscathed after a fight with the Heaven Emperor. It was basically impossible for the Sword Emperor to be a threat to the Heaven Emperor. Everyone was sure that the Heaven Emperor would stay 1st rank on the Great Emperor Rankings for 100 years and no one would be able to seize his rank.

“Half a year huh? That should be enough.”

Li Jianxin believed that he had great progress in the Sword World. After absorbing one top rate sword dao light, he had already comprehended the fourth move of the Skyline Sword Art. For the next half a year, what he had to do was to further improve himself.

The Tiger Fang Sword Saint left early, as a sword dao saint, he wouldn’t possibly stay to have a casual chat with Li Fuchen and the others. Even if Li Fuchen and the others had better innate potential, as long as they weren’t saints, they wouldn’t be able to talk equally with saints.

Once the Tiger Fang Sword Saint left, the Sword Sovereign Shangguan Jiuli said to Li Fuchen, “Let’s fight!”

After suffering a loss in the Sword World, Shangguan Jiuli wasn’t going to let things stay this way. His sovereign sword dao didn’t allow him to have any hesitation.

“Sure.” Li Fuchen also wanted to experience the Sword Sovereign’s sovereign sword dao.

After all, the sovereign sword dao was a top rate sword dao and even had the potential to become a supreme rate sword dao.

“They are going to fight?”

The Heart Sword Sovereign was surprised, but he naturally knew that the duo had some conflicts in the Sword World.

The headquarters’ garden was very big and it was protected with a class 9 array. The duo chose a spacious land and prepared for the fight.

The rest of the people observed from the side, including Sword Emperor Mo Hen.

“Sovereign Pilgrimage!” The Sword Sovereign immediately used his signature move.

He knew clearly that normal moves wouldn’t be a threat to Li Fuchen. Only signature moves and kill moves would have chances.

In the air, there were thousands of sword lights that burst out and it felt like they were doing a pilgrimage.

The move Sovereign Pilgrimage was similar to Li Fuchen’s Sect Origin Sword, but they were inherently different.

Hum…

When this move was executed, apart from the Sword Emperor and a few others, the other swords let out a humming sound as though they might be unsheathed at any moment.

“Such a terrifying sword move.” Murong Youyu pressed down the sword hilt and felt shocked.

“Break!”

Before entering the Sword World, Li Fuchen might have to use the Sect Origin Sword in order to neutralize the Sovereign Pilgrimage. After entering the Sword World, Li Fuchen’s sword dao strength had increased by more than ten times. It was simply a rebirth.

With the Flowing Merciless Edge, the entire place was filled with sword threads.

Bang Boom!

The Sword Sovereign’s Sovereign Pilgrimage was wiped clean.

“His strength is multiplied by too many times.”

Seeing this sword move, the Heart Sword Sovereign sighed and was truly convinced.

How could the Heart Sword Sovereign not see that the Flowing Merciless Edge was just a normal move from Li Fuchen. It wasn’t even considered a signature move, but it easily broke the Sword Sovereign’s Sovereign Pilgrimage. This level of strength was significantly stronger than the time Li Fuchen was at the Swordsmen Tournament.

If the Heart Sword Sovereign’s sword dao progress was a slow walk, then Li Fuchen’s sword dao progress was a sprint. Let alone catching up, it was already praiseworthy not to lose sight.

“Sovereign Sword Descent!”

After the signature move was the kill move. The Sword Sovereign brandished his sword and there was a sword shadow that descended from the void. It felt like the dictator of the world that wielded a terrifying sword dao law. It then slashed at Li Fuchen.

They might not be facing this sword personally, Tang Xing, Murong Youyu, and the others were all retreating. It seemed like they couldn’t withstand the sword prowess’ pressure, especially the Wind Chasing Sword Emperor Zhu Lang whose legs went soft and he nearly knelt on the ground. It made his face red with embarrassment while he was appalled.

“Just in time.”

Li Fuchen twisted his sword and it felt as though the void had been pierced through.

Clang Clang Clang Clang…

In the next moment, the two sword moves clashed together.

Sparks burst out while the Sword Sovereign’s sword shadow was shattered. Li Fuchen’s sword continued straight for the Sword Sovereign’s face.

“World Bend!” The Sword Sovereign yelled out while a world-pressuring sword intent burst out.

The sword intent was unimaginably tyrannical and it felt as though even the heaven dao had to submit to this sword.

“He has already reached this level?” The Emotionless Sword Emperor Ning Que squinted his eyes.

The Sword Sovereign Shangguan Jiuli was certainly superior. Let alone World Bend, the Emotionless Sword Emperor couldn’t even resist Sovereign Sword Descent.

“The World Bend is incredible, but it is unfortunate that it is useless against me.”

After executing the Meteor Fall, Li Fuchen immediately penetrated the Sword Sovereign’s sword prowess and his shoulder.

The sword speed was so fast that only a few were able to see it clearly. Even the Emotionless Sword Emperor was only able to see the glimpse of the radiance. Furthermore, this was because he was an observer by the side. If he was in combat with Li Fuchen, he would never be able to capture any trace of this sword move.

“Is this defeat?”

The Sword Sovereign didn’t want to believe that he was defeated so simply, and there wasn’t any chance of a comeback.

Lifting his head, the Sword Sovereign looked at Li Fuchen.

Li Fuchen was calmly sheathing his sword and there wasn’t any qi presence wave at all.

“I didn’t think that I, the Sword Sovereign, would be defeated by a nameless person. But I am convinced of my defeat. You won.”

The Sword Sovereign might feel bitter in the heart, but he didn’t lose his fighting spirit. The sovereign sword dao was indomitable, the stronger the opponent, the more intense his fighting spirit. There would be a day when his sovereign sword dao would rule the universe and make all worlds shiver in fear.

“Thank you.”

Li Fuchen then shifted his eyes towards the Sword Emperor Mo Hen, “Aren’t you coming for a fight too?”

Since Li Fuchen had already witnessed the Sword Sovereign’s sovereign sword dao, it would be a waste if he didn’t witness the Sword Emperor’s solipsism sword dao.

“What? He still wants to challenge the Sword Emperor?” Murong Youyu was shocked.

Unknowingly, Li Fuchen gave off a different feeling to her. It felt like his shadows were shrouding the entire world and gave off an overwhelming pressure.
