A Single Sword Annihilates a Supreme

But this line of reasoning was quickly overturned by everyone.

They had seen the Young Heavenly Emperor's unyielding nature and indomitable conviction throughout his journey.

He cultivated diligently, was exceedingly harsh on himself, and bore a Blood Feud upon his back.

Even if he refused to be used as a pawn by the Heavenly Secrets Sect, he would never come here to throw his life away!

For a moment, everyone fell into confusion.

He could not win, yet he was not here to seek death—so what had he come for? Could it be that he had come to tip Wang Teng off?

They truly could not make sense of it.

At that moment, someone said, "We naturally have no way of knowing why the Heavenly Emperor came, but there is one strong possibility: the Heavenly Emperor's Sword Heart was destroyed by Wang Teng's hand."

These words made perfect sense.

Gu Changqing walked the path of invincibility. He was destined to crush all things and suppress every stumbling block that barred his path forward.

And Wang Teng was undoubtedly a towering mountain. At present, Gu Changqing simply did not possess the qualifications to move this mountain aside.

In that case, his Sword Heart would naturally shatter!

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was somewhat disappointed.

He had originally been almost certain that the Heavenly Emperor had committed the vile act of betraying his master and destroying his lineage, leading to the destruction of his Sword Heart.

After all, that possibility was extremely high. The Heavenly Emperor had concealed that part of his past from everyone; that alone was exceedingly strange.

Yet disappointed as he was, he still felt a slight anticipation in his heart.

Ever since Gu Changqing began cultivating, he had almost swept through everything in his path. His heroic bearing when he, as a great cultivator, slew a Saint King had left far too deep an impression on everyone.

Even after his Dao foundation was destroyed and he was beaten up by those few cultivators, this fellow's bones had remained hard as iron.

Ye Chen was rather looking forward to seeing what Gu Changqing would look like after this so-called Invincible Sword Heart was destroyed.

"I came to kill you."

Four brief words revealed his purpose.

They also directly gave all those old monsters outside the mirror an answer to their guesses.

Wang Teng, however, was somewhat taken aback.

There was no other reason—this fellow was far too open and aboveboard. How did he look anything like an assassin?

"This one has a grudge against you?" Wang Teng narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the other party, his mind racing as he tried to recall when he had provoked such an enemy.

Gu Changqing shook his head and answered truthfully, "Someone hired me to kill you. As for which faction I belong to, I will not tell you."

Wang Teng nearly laughed from anger.

Were assassins these days all like this? No tricks, no pretense at all?

I respect you as a real man.

Since his purpose and intentions had already been made clear, Wang Teng naturally had nothing to hesitate over. "Follow me—come!"

With a thunderous shout, he took the lead and flew deep into the sea of stars.

Gu Changqing glanced at the living beings on the ancient star. Without hesitation, he followed.

Supremes were extraordinarily terrifying!

Becoming a Saint King was difficult, but the Northern Profound Continent was vast. Across the Three Realms, no one knew how many Saint Kings there were.

But Supremes could be counted on one's fingers.

Such existences needed only a single glance to destroy a Saint King. Once a battle of this level was fought with all their strength, corpses would float for ten thousand miles.

"Make your move, sir. Since you dared come to kill this one, I presume you have some skill?"

Wang Teng stood proudly in the depths of the starry sea, terrifying momentum erupting around him.

His impression of Gu Changqing was not bad. At the very least, this fellow did not seem like the sort who resorted to underhanded tricks.

For that reason, he was willing to give the other party a chance to attack.

After all, the other party looked far too young. If he made the first move, this fellow would become a joke.

Who would have thought that the youth opposite him would merely shake his head. "You make the first move. You and I bear no grudge against each other, so I am willing to give you a chance to attack."

"Pfft."

Wang Teng was angered into laughter once again.

He, Wang Teng, considered himself arrogant to the extreme, yet this fellow opposite him seemed no less arrogant than himself.

Where did a teenage boy get such courage?

"Enough. This one has no time to play with you."

The gathered momentum around Wang Teng suddenly erupted. A heaven-shaking roar exploded, and countless ancient stars instantly disintegrated into dust.

He gathered the grand momentum of heaven and earth, drawing forth endless chains of laws and condensing them into a single fist.

The next instant, it erupted forth.

At that moment, the entire sea of stars exploded completely. Chaotic energy surged hundreds of millions of zhang high, a stretch of time and space was pierced clean through, and even the River of Time and Space was severed by this peerless Supreme!

Countless laws condensed into a towering pillar that reached the heavens, crashing toward Gu Changqing with unstoppable force.

Gu Changqing remained utterly calm.

At a certain moment, a cold glint flashed through his eyes.

Without any flashy embellishment, he swung his firewood cleaver.

Sword light erupted, spreading hundreds of millions of li in an instant.

Like a vast curtain of stars, incomparably brilliant and magnificently grand, it illuminated the entire starry cosmos. That immense chaotic spacetime was split cleanly in two by this single sword strike.

The sword momentum was terrifying, but the sword intent was even more terrifying.

At that moment, it was as though countless ancient Gods and Devils slumbering in the River of Time had awakened, unleashing earth-shaking roars that carried boundless battle intent!

This sword strike seemed to bear the weight of ten thousand Daos, its bearing vast and majestic.

Visible terror rose in Wang Teng's eyes.

Only now did he finally understand that this youth had asked him to make a move not out of arrogance, but confidence!

But by the time he realized it, it was clearly too late.

That sword strike was terrifying to the extreme. It was not merely its might, but its true intent, that made him feel compelled to submit.

A Supreme who dominated heaven and earth actually found himself unable to summon the courage to resist this sword!

"Riiip!"

Where the sword light passed, everything was annihilated. Though the fist radiance was mighty, it was still crushed without reason by the sword light.

Endless sword momentum surged like a tide, piercing through the body of this peerless Supreme.

In the final explosion that resounded through the distant Sea of Chaos, the entire chaos churned. This one sword strike destroyed an unknown number of countless stars across the sea of stars.

The number-one prodigious Supreme publicly recognized by the Northern Profound Continent had thus fallen in the sea of stars.

After Mei Gongzi neutralized Cao Yuwei's attack this time, she did not rush to counterattack. She merely stood where she was without moving.

Cao Yuwei's brows furrowed slightly. Was this little girl's perception truly so keen? After he had transformed flames into armor, he still had other methods at his disposal. If Mei Gongzi had followed up with an attack, he was confident that he could use that method to restrain her. But Mei Gongzi had not advanced, forcing the ability he had been holding in readiness to be interrupted.

The battle blade slashed out again, its powerful blade intent several degrees stronger than before. Cao Yuwei moved with the blade, man and blade as one, charging straight at Mei Gongzi.

The Heavenly Secret Plume in Mei Gongzi's hand formed the Heavenly Mysterious Circle once more, and with an instantaneous teleportation, she switched positions. While neutralizing her opponent's attack, she also broke his lock-on. In the next instant, she was already on the other side. A flash of golden-red light flickered across Cao Yuwei's body; had she not dodged quickly, another ability would undoubtedly have descended upon her.

A battle of attrition! It seemed she intended to exhaust Cao Yuwei.

Yet no one doubted the origin of this ability. After all, the Peacock Demon Race's greatest innate talent had always been Stellar Transposition. Her technique shared the same marvelous essence as Stellar Transposition.
