That last sword strike had been no simple attack.
He had used Heaven's First Sword to bring together every sword technique he knew, along with the full power of Night Rain Cage · Blood-Mud Blossoms and Rain Calamity Without End.
—It had drained every last drop of his Spiritual Power!
That strike had been more than enough to kill an Immortal Species.
Time had stopped, too.
The strike could not miss.
His enemy had also thought Xu Yuan would keep resetting time to torment him.
So the strike had caught him off guard as well.
Why had it been blocked?
Xu Yuan tightened his grip on the Youhuang Sword, only to find that all the power in the blade had vanished.
—When his sword struck the scale, there had not even been the slightest recoil.
It was too strange.
Xu Yuan had no time to think. He retreated on instinct.
In that patch of Void where his sword had struck, the scale appeared again.
An aura Xu Yuan had never felt before rose from the scale and instantly spread in every direction—
It was an Art.
An Art he had never encountered!
"Let's go."
Xu Yuan made his decision on the spot. He seized Xi, and the two of them vanished together.
Where were they going?
In an instant, Xu Yuan had decided.
—Back to the future!
This final battle had gone beyond anything he could handle.
Even if he could never obtain another Crown, he could not keep fighting.
Because there was no point.
—His opponent had effortlessly blocked his all-out strike and still had power to spare for some Art that made his hair stand on end.
No Immortal Species could do that.
Because that sword strike had gathered the Crown Imago, it possessed power beyond the “standard”!
