New Chapter: The True Purpose
"What's going on? Is the Great Red Sky Saber chasing a giant ship?" Outside, some people were surprised to find that the blade's light occasionally flashed, indicating that it was pursuing a mysterious warship.
The Great Red Sky Saber was extremely tired and in danger of breaking. At the very least, the old wound on the blade where it had been struck by the spear tip had developed a small crack.
It fled far away, but could not get rid of the "villain" who kept swinging and hitting it. It was only when it was caught up that it was forced to fight back and unleash its crimson glow.
"Hmm, something's strange. The Imperial Dao Spear is chasing the Great Red Sky Saber, but the Great Red Sky Saber is also following its own rhythm. Is it chasing a giant ship?"
Of course, what they see is a severely delayed scene; the images are only captured when the prohibited items fly past certain star nodes.
Most of the time, the two treasures traverse the void, and sometimes even travel through Space-time Vortex, making them difficult to track. Only when the battle stops can they be seen from afar.
Outsiders, many factions are puzzled: guns smashing knives, knives cutting ships—what kind of chaotic relationship is this?
Only within the dark web of the Fallen One, some people discussed it with dread, wondering whose vehicle it was and what its connection was.
"Our industry's titans, Zhuo Kong and the Dragon Hunter, are being hunted down by the Great Red Sky Saber. Has the tide turned?!"
Zhuo Kong, the Dragon Hunter's friends and disciples were all terrified. This cold-blooded reaper, Number 63, was breaking the Rules and trying to kill his collaborators.
The giant ship ahead split into eight vessels, each heading in a different direction. As a result, the blade targeted one of them and relentlessly pursued it.
"It's caught up with us. It seems that the tomb and we were never on the same side. In the past, it was just a cooperative partnership based on mutual needs!" Zhuo Kong sighed.
The Dragon Hunter said, "Old friend, it seems we can't leave. I'm going to break down the divine core, hoping to communicate with it in the dark and reunite my Mental Secret Power in another place."
Zhuo Kong shook his head and said, "I don't think that will work. That's the Great Red Sky Saber, one of the most top-tier prohibited items. It can directly extract scattered spiritual energy."
The Dragon Hunter's face turned ashen. "So, you're destined to be harvested by the tomb? I'm not willing! I absolutely cannot give him the divine core that I've painstakingly cultivated my whole life, even if it means exploding it, burning it to dust, and being annihilated from body to soul!"
"Take care, old friend, and good luck!" Zhuo Kong sighed, patted his shoulder, and then sat down to take a sip of tea.
"What do you mean? Still drinking tea, you're relaxed even as you're about to die?" The Dragon Hunter was surprised; his old friend really had a good attitude.
Zhuo Kong put down his teacup and said, "So be it. This is a naturally formed Innate Divine Body that I have nurtured, containing 30% of my divine core power."
"I...!" The Dragon Hunter's mind shattered. The old friend before him wasn't the main body, but merely an extremely important divine body? This made his vision go black. In the end, was he the only honest one among the Four Great Fallen Ones? To wait for death in a desperate situation.
Given their status as powerful figures, they usually keep their spiritual power hidden and would never test each other's divine cores, as that would trigger a dangerous battle. He truly did not know that Zhuo Kong's body only contained one-third of a divine core.
Now, the Dragon Hunter felt terrible. The four giants, Mu Ruthless and merciless, had made their move against them. Yuan Dao was smarter than a dog, sensing the danger in advance and avoiding the risk. Zhuo Kong had Innate Divine Body to keep him company here, but he was the only one waiting to die.
"Holy crap!" At the last moment, the Dragon Hunter's brow split open, and his spirit burned fiercely!
He was so unwilling to accept it. Although he knew that this high-risk industry shouldn't involve genuine feelings and that he shouldn't trust any collaborators, he was still depressed and felt that everything was too bleak.
Sizzle!
The Great Red Sky Saber caught up, and with a single slash, the massive ship disintegrated and exploded, with dazzling crimson light transforming into runes to collect the scattered spiritual energy.
Even if the two giants self-destruct, they are covered by the Great Scarlet Sky Light, which draws away the power of their divine cores. The most powerful forbidden item is mysterious and unpredictable, and its methods are heaven-defying.
However, although this delay was only momentary, Great Red Sky Saber was caught up again and took several shots, which rang out in a fierce battle.
"A sinister wind is blowing. The tomb is harvesting the Dragon Hunter's divine cores. Perhaps this is just the beginning?"
In another part of the starry sky, Yuan Dao whispered. He knew the Number One Person in the fall very well and was extremely wary of him.
"Why are you still not stopping?!" The Imperial Dao Spear was annoyed during the chase. It felt that it had cracked the opponent, yet it had managed to hold on until now, making it even more ferocious.
"If I hadn't had this old injury, the one that broke back then, how could you have hurt me?" Great Red Sky Saber retorted, feeling aggrieved and indignant.
Imperial Dao Spear said, "Then it can only mean that you are very weak. You have been broken by others before, but I have never been. I have always been the one to shatter others. You are about to be blasted in half by me now."
The Great Red Sky Saber refused to admit defeat, saying, "I have never been defeated. I only suffered mutual injuries when I fought another top-tier forbidden item. If I enter the Extraordinary Central Universe, I will be even stronger than I am here. Even if I am injured, I will surely kill you!"
"What are you bragging about, Broken Blade? You've broken before!" the Imperial Dao Spear retorted.
"You are only the strongest in your own Mother Universe. Once you leave here, enter other universes, and appear at the center of the Supernatural World, you will become weaker and no longer be ranked!"
"What are you bragging about? You've shone the Great Scarlet Sky Light on me before, Broken Blade, you've broken it!" The Imperial Dao Spear simply and bluntly repeated the fact that the other party had broken it.
"A treasure from a remote place..."
"You broke it!"
When!
The Great Dao Divine Sound resounded, and the tip of the Imperial Dao Spear pierced through space and time. Countless strands of auspicious light struck the longsword, causing it to emit a clear cracking sound as if the rules were breaking. A terrible crack appeared on the blade's surface; another blow would truly break it.
The outside world is unaware of the current situation of the Great Red Sky Saber, only that it is on the run, having been blasted away once again and plunged into Space-time Vortex.
In fact, even the deep and reserved Number 63 was unaware that the Great Red Sky Saber had developed cracks; he remained calm.
At this moment, someone contacted Number 63, and a middle-aged man appeared on the spaceship's screen, and they spoke with him.
"Thank you for your hard work, tomb." The middle-aged man nodded and smiled, then asked, "What level would you assess Wang Xuan to be?"
Sure enough, Number 63 was the tomb, and the person on the other side called out their identity.
Mu said, "He has most likely reached the ceiling of the Great Universe Error Correction and improved even further. He should be even stronger than he is now."
"So powerful?" The middle-aged man on the big screen frowned, nodded, and said, "This time, it was indeed necessary to hand the knife to Zhuo Kong, the Dragon Hunter, and No. 72 and let them blaze a trail. Hmm, Zhuo Kong, Yuan Dao, and the others are not from our faction, so it's time to take them down as well."
The middle-aged man relaxed his brows, his eyes shining brightly, and said, "It should be time to knock on the Heavenly Gate."
"Something unexpected happened. The Great Red Sky Saber didn't stay there long enough; it didn't fight to the bitter end as originally planned." Mu tapped the table.
The middle-aged man said, "No rush. Although the detectors in that area have all been destroyed, our spaceship has gone there, and we will know the results soon."
The tomb said, "The problem shouldn't be too big. After all, it's the Great Red Sky Saber, one of the strongest forbidden items. It's fiercely clashing with the number one treasure of this universe. There will be good news."
The middle-aged man said, "If the Heavenly Gate is not opened, and you personally wield the Great Red Sky Saber this time, are you confident you can take down the Giant Whale? Its body and spirit are connected to a stable Exotic Power Space Pool, which is of paramount importance to us!"
Number 63 shook his head and said, "I will not fight him. In the Correction of the Present World, it is extremely dangerous for him to be climbing up the ceiling."
"Alright, then let's wait for the Heavenly Gate to open." The middle-aged man nodded, his tone suggesting a discussion, not a demand.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man received a secret report and became slightly excited, saying, "Not only is there a thick fog there, but there's also a strong wind, and strange noises are coming from there, as if it's piercing through Planar Crevice!"
"The Heavenly Gate is about to open?" The tomb's metal eyes shot out divine light, its aura becoming incomparably sharp and intimidating, and it sat up straight.
The middle-aged man said solemnly, "Over the years, fog has occasionally spilled out from there. Fortunately, we have taken it seriously and have been communicating and analyzing the area for many years. We have roughly determined that the message coming from the other side is from our people, who are trying to open up a passage."
The tomb nodded and said, "Over the years, we have tried every means to communicate with the other side and have sent out a lot of signals. It seems that we have not failed completely. The other side has a vague sense of this and has prepared contraband. Today, both sides have used the most precious treasures of our universe. The Heavenly Gate is finally about to open."
Soon, the middle-aged man received feedback that there was new information.
"At the cosmic rift, the fog is thick and the wind is howling. There are faint Supernatural Factor seeping in, but it seems that there are only barely visible gaps. There are constant thumping sounds from that side, which means that prohibited items are being used to bombard it, but they cannot fully open the passage."
The middle-aged man continued, "We also need the Great Red Sky Saber to bring the Imperial Dao Spear along to bombard it. The Heavenly Blade has old wounds; it's a flawed key. It needs the indestructible spear to work together to pierce the passage."
"When the Great Red Sky Saber approaches this area, I will communicate with it." Mu nodded.
This was their true objective: to use the battle between the Imperial Dao Spear and the Great Red Sky Saber to open the Heavenly Gate and break through the passage.
As for the rest, they were all preludes, all harvests that followed the trend.
Just then, the composed Number 63, also known as Tomb, suddenly had his eyes flash with light and stood up abruptly, the situation exceeding his expectations.
"When!"
The Great Dao Divine Sound bloomed in the universe, and the dazzling ripples, like the undulating surface of a magnificent sea, pierced through a whole Starry Ground and then destroyed it, annihilating it.
The outside world was shocked and terrified.
Because the Great Red Sky Saber flew out horizontally and broke apart!
The blinding crimson glow engulfed the starry sky, like fireworks bursting forth, extremely brief, and then extinguished in an instant. One of the most serious contraband items, broken in the middle!
This time, the Imperial Dao Spear did not attack as a long staff, but rather with its tip precisely and domineeringly piercing the vital point, breaking the Heavenly Blade in one strike!
The middle-aged man also saw the latest battle situation and stood up abruptly. Like the tomb, he never expected that the Great Red Sky Saber would be destroyed.
"Tomb, don't hesitate! Let the broken Great Red Sky Saber charge in! No matter the cost, open the Heavenly Gate!" the middle-aged man shouted urgently and anxiously.
