Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 175 The war ends
Once you master the seventh level of sword cultivation, you can be crowned a Sword Saint.

Once a Sword Saint has mastered Sword Eight, they can condense the Profound Qi of the Sword Dao and become a powerful Sword Saint.

The Azure Feather Sword Saint and the three great sword saints of the Eastern Region, when they were at the Saint Realm, all cultivated the Eight Swords and were powerful sword saints who condensed the profound energy of the sword path.

Ling Feiyu was the most outstanding figure in the Kunlun Realm three hundred years ago, and the person with the highest sword talent in the Kunlun Realm after Sword Emperor Xue Hongchen and Empress Chi Yao.

Sword Nine, which is above Sword Eight, was rarely mastered even by those at the Saint Realm, even in the medieval era 100,000 years ago.

The Sword Emperor of eight hundred years ago could not do it, and neither could Empress Chi Yao back then.

Ling Feiyu's purple robes, adorned with lightning, shimmered with light. His long, black hair flowed freely in the wind, and the Burial Heaven Sword in his hand turned pure black.

She stood in the void, with a phantom soul appearing above her head—not a holy soul, but a sword soul.

By cultivating Sword Nine to its peak, one can condense a sword soul that belongs only to oneself.

With his sword spirit, he can take a person's head even from a thousand miles away, and the power of his swordsmanship is several times stronger than when he was Kenpachi.

Four-colored light emanated from her body, compressing the power of the ancestral holy soul of the Burial Sky Sword lineage into a single sword strike.

It is not the Nine Lives Sword Technique, the Nine Deaths Sword Technique, or the Nine Reincarnation Sword Technique, but the true Nine Lives, Nine Deaths, Nine Reincarnation Sword Technique.

The sword light pierced through the starlight barrier, passed the Azure Ember Divine Wheel, and headed straight for the Azure Heaven Blood Emperor.

Along the way, the rules of swordsmanship in the world were in turmoil, with the power to make one rule overshadow all others.

Countless ancient swords within the Sword Tomb flew up and converged into a river of swords, resembling a blue dragon.

The Azure Blood Emperor sensed danger from this sword strike and did not choose to take it head-on. Instead, he used a mid-level holy technique to try to deflect the sword strike.

When wielded by a supreme Saint King, a mid-level Saint Art truly possesses the power to change the world, capable of transferring destructive power elsewhere while remaining completely unaffected.

Suddenly, the Azure Blood Emperor's blood energy swirled around him, and his left hand reached out, merging with the vortex, and struck the sword light unleashed by Ling Feiyu.

The sword light fell into the vortex and flew out of the sword tomb in the blink of an eye, landing on the ground outside the sword tomb, leaving behind a huge ravine that was a thousand miles long.

The Azure Blood Emperor unfurled his blood-red wings, retracted the Azure Ash Divine Wheel, and calmly put his left hand behind his back, appearing to be completely unharmed.

Both Di Yi and Ling Feiyu are people with keen senses, and they noticed the subtle changes in the Azure Blood Emperor.

After unleashing a sword strike, Ling Feiyu's aura did not weaken; instead, it became even more solid, as if he had entered a completely new realm and achieved a phoenix-like rebirth amidst the flames.

The sword spirit hovered above her head, gathering all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the rules of swordsmanship. The 100,000 ancient swords in the sword tomb converged into a river, hanging behind her.

Di Yi, carrying the Heaven-Sealing Sword, stood shoulder to shoulder with Ling Feiyu. His black robes billowed with sword energy, making his body appear exceptionally tall and imposing.

The Azure Blood Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly; only he himself knew the power of Ling Feiyu's sword strike just now.

Although he used holy magic to transfer most of the power, the sword energy still pierced his arm, severing some of his meridians. Although it was not fatal, it would affect his combat power for a short time.

Yinghuo's attempt to infiltrate the Sword Tomb failed, and Ling Feiyu broke through his cultivation level, reaching the profound realm of swordsmanship.

Furthermore, there is the variable of Emperor Yi in the background.

The two Blood Emperors, Jingtian and Xuetian, were blocked outside the Sword Tomb and were fighting with a mysterious expert. Their situation seemed to be quite bad.

The Undying Blood Clan has been plotting for months in their second battle against the Underworld Sword Tomb, but their chances of winning have become slim.

The Demonic Blood Emperor withdrew from the battlefield and landed beside the Azure Blood Emperor, frowning as he asked, "Are you injured?"

"It's alright." The Azure Blood Emperor shook his head slightly and looked down at the ground.

With Wan Canglan wielding the Burning Heaven Sword, the Undying Blood Clan's army failed to gain any advantage, suffering heavy casualties, with even some core members at the Saint King level dying in battle.

"It's the swordsman again!"

The Azure Blood Emperor loathed the words "Sword Bearer" to the extreme. They were clearly ants that could be crushed at will, but because of the Sword Bearer's identity, he borrowed the power of a group of old ghosts and caused them such great losses.

"If we can't take down the Sword Tomb today, it will be even more difficult to make a move in the future."

The Demon Blood Emperor remained silent. In the current situation, if the fighting continued, the Undying Blood Clan would find it difficult to gain any advantage.

The Central Region is, after all, the stronghold of the imperial court, and is full of powerful figures. Even though Empress Chi Yao is missing, the powerful figures of the imperial court are not ordinary people, and many of them have strength no less than theirs.

The Azure Blood Emperor said, "Using the Blood God Sacrifice to draw upon the power of the gods within the Azure Ash Divine Wheel, I will break through the Sword Tomb today and utterly destroy all six old ghosts."

The Azure Blood Emperor made a ruthless decision. The Blood God Sacrifice required an extremely high price. Once activated, he would be in a weakened state for a long time afterward, which would also affect his future cultivation.

“Even if we activate the divine power within the Azure Ash Divine Wheel, we may not be able to break through the Sword Tomb. Today, there is a mysterious powerhouse eyeing the Sword Tomb. I am worried that the person who came is a true Great Sage who can hold back Jing Tian and Xue Tian with his own strength.”

"Perhaps he is waiting for us to use our trump cards, and then strike after we are weakened. At that time, let alone breaking through the Sword Tomb, it will be difficult to even protect ourselves."

The Demon Emperor had already decided to retreat and was unwilling to make any more pointless sacrifices.

The Azure Blood Emperor was filled with murderous intent, but the Demon Blood Emperor's words brought him back to his senses.

The Pure Heaven Blood Emperor's spiritual power reached the peak of the 59th level, making him the second strongest in the Undying Blood Clan in terms of spiritual power.

Blood Emperor Xue Tian was a capable general under Blood Empress eight hundred years ago. In terms of combat strength, he was second only to Blood Emperor Qi Tian among the Ten Great Blood Emperors. The person who could restrain both of them simultaneously must possess abilities comparable to a Great Sage, even if they weren't one. It's indeed possible they were waiting to ambush them.

His brow furrowed deeply, and he said coldly, "Are we just going to return empty-handed like this, suffering two consecutive setbacks at the Underworld Sword Tomb? If word gets out, it will be a great damage to the prestige of our clan."

"The reputation of the Undying Blood Clan relies on us, on our strength, not on temporary gains or losses. If we are taken advantage of by human powerhouses, that would be the greatest loss. Huang Tian and Feng Tian have already paid the price of their lives for underestimating the enemy. I do not want you to repeat their mistakes," the Demon Blood Emperor said solemnly.

As the two Blood Emperors argued, a supreme holy might rose from the direction of the Yuan Mansion, with a blue light shooting straight into the heavens.

The Demon Emperor's expression changed slightly, and he said, "It is the Chi family's sacred artifact, the Azure Sky Pagoda. The Heavenly King Lingxiao has actually come all the way from Shengming City."

A moment later, four-colored sword lights appeared from another direction, their power no less than that of the Azure Sky Pagoda.

Qingyu Sword Saint landed beside Di Yi and Ling Feiyu, looked at the four-colored sword light, and exclaimed in surprise: "The Four Symbols Sect's sacred artifact, the Four Symbols Sacred Sword, it seems that the Four Symbols Sect's Ancestor Chongxu has arrived."

Ancestor Chongxu was the number one expert of the Four Symbols Sect. He lived for over a thousand years. Unlike Ancestor Taiyi, who lived in seclusion, Ancestor Chongxu was active in the Void Realm battlefield all year round. He was the strongest person in the open among the four major Daoist sects.

The Four Symbols Holy Swords, individually, are not supreme holy artifacts, but when combined, their power is no weaker than that of supreme holy artifacts.

Almost simultaneously, just 20,000 miles outside the Sword Tomb, a third supreme holy might rose—the Yama Bell.

Two figures carrying overwhelming blood energy plummeted from the void like two meteors, crashing onto the ground outside the Sword Tomb, causing the earth to tremble.

Blood Emperor and Pure Emperor were in a sorry state, covered in wounds. Even with two against one, they were still no match for Nangong Shi and were forced to reveal their trump cards.

The Pure Heaven Blood Emperor transmitted his thoughts to the Azure Heaven Blood Emperor and the Demon Heaven Blood Emperor: "Nangong Shi's cultivation has greatly improved, and his strength is no weaker than that of a Great Sage. He cannot be defeated by force. Retreat quickly!"

Only then did the Azure Blood Emperor make up his mind and issue an order to withdraw the Undying Blood Clan army in the Sword Tomb.

Then, together with the Demon Emperor, they withdrew from the Sword Tomb, and joined forces with the Pure Heaven and Blood Emperors, retreating northward.

The Azure Sky Pagoda, the Yama Bell, and the Four Symbols Holy Sword did not give up and continued their pursuit.

With the Blood Emperor retreating, the Saints of the Ancient Prison Clan, who had previously been severely defeated, began their counterattack under the leadership of Shi Qiankun and the Shen family patriarch.

The head of the Shen family possessed extremely high mastery of array formations, ranking among the grandmasters and only one step away from becoming a saintly array master. He repaired part of the array outside the Sword Tomb at the fastest speed, blocking a large number of the Undead Blood Clan army that wanted to retreat.

Shi Qiankun took the lead, using his own holy blood to outline the Saint-Suppressing Talisman. With each talisman he cast, a large number of undead blood clansmen were annihilated.

Di Yi, Ling Feiyu, Qingyu Sword Saint, Wan Canglan, the Holy Book Talent, and others also joined the battle, pursuing and killing the Undying Blood Clan army.

After leaving the Sword Tomb, the eighteen ancestral saint souls receded, and Di Yi's power declined. At the same time, he also lost the Sword Tomb's blessing on sword cultivators. Relying on his physical body and spiritual power, Di Yi was still able to maintain a combat strength close to that of a Xuanhuang realm saint.

The chase lasted for two full hours, leaving the Undying Blood Clan with tens of thousands of corpses and suffering heavy losses.

But the Zhenyu Ancient Clan suffered even greater losses, with most of its members killed or wounded, and the land filled with mourning. By tomorrow, the entire Zhenyu Ancient Clan will be draped in white mourning clothes, with everyone wearing their own.

When Di Yi returned to the Sword Tomb, his black robe was soaked with the blood of the Undying Blood Clan. After the blood dried, the robe became stiff, and the hem of the robe curled up as if defying fate.

The talented scholar stood amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, now dressed in a clean white Confucian robe, her long hair simply tied up. Upon seeing Emperor Yi's return, her eyes shone with excitement.

Wan Canglan descended from the sky, landing beside the talented woman of the Holy Book. She wore crimson women's armor, which only protected her vital parts. Phoenix flames burned all over her body, exposing large areas of her skin, giving her a flamboyant and wild beauty.

"Di Yi, I used to scoff at the idea that you were the greatest talent in the Kunlun Realm since the Middle Ages, but after today, I, Wan Canglan, will accept that title."

Wan Canglan was in a good mood. Since the birth of the Undying Blood Clan, she had never fought against them so freely.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden served the Empress year-round, and although Wan Canglan had the title of Martial Saint, he rarely had the opportunity to participate in life-or-death battles.

This is the first time I've had such a thrilling and exhilarating battle.

With the atmosphere ruined by Wan Canglan, Di Yi lost interest and took out the Sacred Book of the Confucian Ancestor, returning it to the talented woman who knew the book.

"Danqing, thank you very much."

The talented woman smiled and shook her head: "It's just a loan, not a gift. There's no need for such formalities between us."

Emperor Yi smiled, said nothing more, and turned to walk into the Sword Tomb.

Wan Canglan stood there, overhearing the conversation between the two, his eyes widening in astonishment.

"Danqing, what's your relationship with him? You haven't fallen for him, have you?"

The talented woman looked at her angrily and said, "Sister Canglan, what are you saying? Between him and me, we are just friends, friends who would die for each other."

Wan Canglan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, as the Nine Heavens Mystic Maidens were all one entity, their thoughts connected.

If the talented woman of the sacred book were to fall in love, it would be a rather awkward situation for the other eight goddesses among the Nine Heavens Mystic Maidens, something they would find completely unacceptable.

"By the way, Danqing, the Blood-Reflecting Mirror you had earlier, it wasn't found in the Imperial City's Treasure Pavilion, was it? If I'm not mistaken, it was given to you by Di Yi?"

Although Wan Canglan acted straightforwardly, he was by no means a fool. Realizing this too late, he easily overturned the previous statement made by the talented woman of the sacred book.

The Imperial City Treasure Pavilion is managed by the Goddess of Fate, so there's no reason why the Holy Book Talented Woman would find something that even she couldn't find.

The talented woman from the Sacred Book gestured for her to be quiet and transmitted her voice through her spiritual power: "This matter is of great importance. Sister Canglan, please do not mention it again. If it is leaked, it will bring about utter destruction."
