When the living beings of the continent, trapped in that terrifying illusion, saw a mysterious sword shadow, the Dark War Emperor in reality also caught sight of it.
The sword shadow the Dark War Emperor faced was even grander, its aura majestic and overwhelming!
The black sea of clouds that blotted out the sky was filled with sword light. The thunderclouds were pushed aside, and a colossal silver blade pierced through the cloud sea, as if some unimaginable giant god were swinging a sword from Beyond Heaven. The portion of the blade extending beyond the clouds was vaster than a mountain.
Before such a giant sword, the Dark War Emperor, gripping his spear in both hands, seemed so very small.
After a brief moment of shock, madness surfaced on the Dark War Emperor's face.
"What domineering Sword Intent! I never thought someone in this world could attain such heights in the way of the sword!"
The Dark War Emperor laughed as he spoke, his voice booming like thunder. His aura surged violently, and the long spear in his hands burst with horrifying Black Flame.
The instant his words fell, he clenched the spear in both hands and stabbed fiercely forward.
With that thrust, the sea of clouds in the sky exploded apart in an instant, and that enormous, mysterious sword shadow was fully revealed.
It was a sword shadow larger than any mountain range in the world, its hilt seeming to stand within the universe Beyond Heaven, giving off an overwhelming visual impact.
Rumble—
The berserk Black Flame, like a flood dragon, smashed into that awe-inspiring sword shadow. Almost in the same instant, the continent's living beings jolted awake. In their vision, a mysterious sword shadow blazing with intense light tore the illusion apart and dragged them back to reality.
