âGuh, guh, guhâ!!!â
âUrgh!â
âThis⦠this is impossible!â
In an instant, the atmosphere shifted.
The scorching heat gripped the martial artists of the Alliance, forcing them to clutch their chests. It wasnât just the heat; the oppressive pressure reverberated in all directions.
The air grew dense.
Simply breathing was exhausting. Those whose cultivation surpassed the peak realm barely managed to endure.
âGhhkkâ¦â
âUghhhâ¦â
Those beneath that threshold foamed at the mouth and collapsed. Their mental fortitude couldnât withstand it. And the intensity kept growing stronger.
The heat and pressure surged endlessly. At this rate, someone might die from the suffocating force.
âStar King.â
Screeeech!
At that moment, the Sword Emperor uttered those words and gripped his sword tightly.
Wheeeeeeenngâ!!!
The sword let out a resonant cry. Vibrating intensely, the blade wailed, and its sharp resonance began to push back against the pressure.
The Sword Emperorâs aura clashed fiercely with Gu Yangcheonâs overwhelming energy.
Screeeeechâ!!!
The immense energies collided, distorting the space between them. Neither side yielded an inch. In other wordsâ¦
âThe Division Leader of the Celestial Dragon ranks equally with the Sword Emperor?â
âThatâs absurdâ!â
This implied that Gu Yangcheon was an equal to the Sword Emperor in martial prowess.
The youngest king. The one destined to be the worldâs greatest. Titles such as âFuture Supreme Oneâ and âThe One Above Allâ often described Gu Yangcheon, but the Sword Emperor was no less renowned.
No, if one were to compare, the Sword Emperor boasted far more accolades.
The Guardian of the Martial Alliance. One of the Ten Supreme Masters.
Moreover, alongside the Plum Blossom Immortal, he was deemed one of the three martial artists closest to transcendence.
Even this alone demonstrated the Sword Emperorâs value and strength.
âAnd yet, the Star King is not being overwhelmed by the Sword Emperorâ¦?â
It was truly an unbelievable sight.
Impossible to believeâif it had only been described in words.
âBut itâs real. Itâs really happening.â
Gu Yangcheonâs actions made it undeniable.
