Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 393: Chapter 389: Slashing the Extreme Heaven Sect

A sword came from the east.

In everyone’s line of sight, only a single, supremely glorious flash of sword light remained.

It was so dazzling, so immense, that everything else between heaven and earth paled in comparison. Only that sword light seemed eternal.

Ignoring all spatial distance, it appeared before Ning Jiang in an instant, and he seized it in his grasp.

Then, without a moment’s hesitation, Ning Jiang gripped the sword and slashed it toward the heavens.

SHREEEAK!

A blazing Sword Aura surged skyward, engulfing the entire space and instantly tearing the giant hand to shreds.

"This..."

Countless people were so horrified they were rendered speechless.

At that moment, they also felt an indescribable sword might emanating from the blade.

CLATTER.

To the sound of a unified clatter, countless Martial Artists involuntarily dropped to their knees under this sword might. Even the Earth Martial Realm experts could not withstand it and were forced to one knee.

"How is this possible? How can this be? This is the might of a King!"

True Monarch Yun Xiao and the other two Heaven-Reaching Realm experts were shocked beyond measure. Before this sword might, even they could only struggle to stay standing.

After reaching the Heaven-Reaching Realm, they once again felt the chasm that separated them, like ants before a giant.

That’s right. Before this sword, they felt as weak as ants, completely out of their league.

’So this was his trump card.’

Only then did the many Martial Artists understand that they had gravely underestimated Ning Jiang.

Ning Jiang’s actions weren’t born of arrogance or conceit, but from holding a sufficient trump card. That was why he dared to set foot in the Extreme Heaven Sect, why he dared to be so aggressive, refusing to back down an inch even when facing the Extreme Heaven Monarch.

"Hmph. I underestimated you. To think you possessed a King’s Weapon."

A cold snort echoed from the high palace. The next moment, a foot stepped out from the grand entrance.

The moment this foot appeared, the winds and clouds between heaven and earth began to stir.

Following that, a middle-aged man clad in Profound Gold Battle Armor walked out, revealing himself to all.

He was a heroic-looking middle-aged man with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His wide shoulders looked as if they could hold up the very sky.

He had a high, straight nose and thin lips. His eyes were like two black holes, his gaze intensely focused, yet it was impossible to tell where he was looking. A single glance felt as if it could suck one’s very soul inside.

With his appearance, a tremendous aura crashed down, rivaling the sword might of the Demon Slaying Sword.

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

The three True Monarchs immediately felt the pressure on them lighten and hurriedly clasped their fists in a bow toward the middle-aged man.

"Extreme Heaven Monarch, you’ve finally shown yourself." Ning Jiang’s eyes slowly narrowed.

"Brat, to be able to force my hand, you continue to surprise me."

The Extreme Heaven Monarch stood there, his pair of black crystal pupils gazing over.

CRACK!

Two streaks of black lightning flashed through the void. Ning Jiang felt a mountain-like pressure crash down on him from all sides, nearly suffocating him and almost forcing him to his knees.

Anyone else in his place would have long since succumbed to the pressure and knelt in submission.

But the Demon Slaying Sword in Ning Jiang’s hand trembled lightly, and a brilliant light flashed, filling the space dozens of yards around him and blocking the overwhelming might.

"Extreme Heaven Monarch, I came here today for one thing only: an explanation. If your Extreme Heaven Sect gives me that explanation, this matter ends here. If not, don’t blame me for cutting down the Extreme Heaven Sect, destroying your legacy, and annihilating your Sect!"

A towering killing intent erupted from Ning Jiang’s eyes.

This single statement shocked everyone present.

Destroy your legacy and annihilate your Sect—how arrogant were those words?

"Good. Very good. For many years, no one has ever dared to threaten me like this. You are the first. For those words alone, your Divine Spirit deserves to be obliterated!"

The Extreme Heaven Monarch’s eyes were icy, his voice just as cold. He glanced at the King’s Weapon in Ning Jiang’s hand and gave a cold smile. "This sword is indeed a King’s Weapon, but unfortunately, you are no King. Moreover, this sword has been damaged. The Power in it now is likely finite, diminishing with every use, is it not?"

"You have sharp Eye Power."

Ning Jiang admitted coolly.

The Extreme Heaven Monarch was not wrong. The Demon Slaying Sword itself was severely damaged and had long since lost its spirituality. When Ning Jiang first found it, the Demon Slaying Sword was no different from a piece of scrap metal.

As for its current might, he had used a Devouring Array to absorb the power of the earth’s veins from a thirty-mile radius and condensed it into the blade.

The Devouring Array was initially a small array he had set up with one hundred and eight Array Banners. To grant the Demon Slaying Sword its current level of power would have taken several years of accumulation.

But not long ago, he had Yue Wenfu and the others expand the Devouring Array from one hundred and eight Array Banners to ten thousand eight hundred, increasing its scale a hundredfold. This caused its Devouring Power to skyrocket, allowing it to gather enough Power in just a few short days.

"This sword is named the Demon Slaying Sword. It belonged to the King, Xie Liuyun, from several hundred years ago. With this very sword, Xie Liuyun once slew a Blood Demon King in Qing Province. This blade carries with it endless glory."

Ning Jiang’s voice grew louder, echoing between heaven and earth.

This act was also to ensure the world would know the name Xie Liuyun.

"Today, I shall use this Demon Slaying Sword to test your Heaven-Reaching Martial Arts!"

As his words fell, a soaring battle intent rose from Ning Jiang’s body.

"If you were a King holding this sword, I would turn and leave without a second thought. But with your meager Cultivation, what can you possibly do? Young man, you are far too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"

The Extreme Heaven Monarch snorted in fury and took a heavy step forward, a vicious light surging in his eyes like a raging tide.

Heaven and earth themselves seemed to tremble in rage. Terrifying fluctuations filled the air in all directions, and many Martial Artists with weaker Cultivation had their qi and blood thrown into turmoil, causing them to spurt blood.

Countless people were terrified!

Was this the might of the Extreme Heaven Monarch? It struck terror deep into their hearts.

"No wonder they say the Extreme Heaven Monarch is the one closest to becoming a Celestial Martial Realm King. With Cultivation like this, he can’t be far from a King’s Realm, can he?"

"Ning Jiang has a King’s Weapon to rely on, while the Extreme Heaven Monarch is known as the strongest man beneath the Kings in the Six Eastern Provinces. This battle is sure to be world-shaking."

The crowd’s minds reeled, and they could hardly wait to see this great battle.

Everyone, no matter who they were, understood that today’s battle would shake the Six Eastern Provinces, an event even more stunning than the founding of the Myriad Swords Sect.

"Everyone, let’s join forces to protect the Extreme Heaven Sect."

The other three True Monarchs quickly gathered the other Earth Martial Realm experts, unleashing their Domain Power to envelop the entire Extreme Heaven Sect.

Otherwise, even the slightest aftershock from the battle between these two could cause terrifying destruction to the Extreme Heaven Sect.

"I’d like to see just how long the Power of that King’s Weapon of yours can last."

The Extreme Heaven Monarch’s gaze turned cold, and he was the first to strike.

He waved his sleeve, and a terrifying fluctuation of Power, vast as the ocean, surged toward Ning Jiang. The air instantly compressed into a solid disc. A single strike like this could claim the life of a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert.

"Slash!"

Fearless, Ning Jiang chopped down with his sword. A beam of Sword Aura shot across the sky, tearing everything in its path.

And with that, the earth-shattering battle erupted!
