Jiang Ding swung his sword.
This sword was called Moonlight's Illusory Realm Sword.
It was one of the Moon lineage's supreme sword arts of the Sun Moon Sword Pavilion. Under the greater circumstances, it had been forced into offering and now belonged to Jiang Ding, who unleashed this sword honed over a hundred years.
As this sword fell, the world seemed to become two separate worlds.
Before the Azure Sky Imperial Son stood a Flame Liu Imperial Son.
Before the Flame Liu Imperial Son stood an Azure Sky Imperial Son.
That was perfectly normal.
Yet these were two worlds, two Flame Liu Imperial Sons, and two Azure Sky Imperial Sons. That was somewhat eerie.
The Azure Sky Imperial Son and Flame Liu Imperial Son each had their own opponent. Wielding heavy weapons, they fought fiercely. On closer inspection, their opponents used the same methods of the Horned Demon Tribe: hundred-zhang demonic bodies and ten-zhang Indestructible Chaos Spaces, utterly identical.
Yet upon even closer examination, one would find that their opponents were somewhat hazy. Their bodies were formed from Sword Qi, and their attacks were likewise formed from Sword Qi—an equivalent effect forcibly simulated through the sword path.
After correction by the Immortal Sect and the eight great powers, they estimated that this sword technique, Moonlight's Illusory Realm Sword, had a ninety percent chance of not triggering the Great Emperor contingencies upon the two Imperial Sons.
A Great Emperor hoped their children would grow into jade pillars holding up the heavens, not become useless trash. Naturally, they would not trigger Great Emperor methods merely because they encountered an opponent of the same rank, even if that opponent was somewhat strange.
Otherwise, they might as well stay home and be raised for the rest of their lives, never allowed outside.
