chapter 5597: hopeless
despair was an interesting battle aura. just-once dao lord was someone who only needed one victory after a hundred defeats, honing his sword skills continuously. he loved battles, no different from his patriarch.
he was far from a star during his dao debut. his shallow cultivation meant that he was always on the losing side. nevertheless, he never became discouraged and always fought until victory became possible.
this type of dao search became the best tradition of daoist sword ground. the love for battle was carved into its membersâ bones.
just-once traveled far on this path, eventually becoming a dao lord. nonetheless, he didnât stop and still traveled to the immortal continent.
outsiders didnât know the story of how he joined celestial court. a relatively reliable explanation suggested that a fight with celestial court ended with a promise to join.
his aura had two effects - boosting his determination while lowering the enemiesâ morale. this differed from war god dao lordâs whose aura invoked heroism and courage into his allies.
one lowered battle spirit while the other did the opposite. it was interesting that these two cultivators came from the same branch.
âthe dao of war emphasizes the courage to advance.â war godâs aura beat like a drum.
âvictory is when the enemy is defeated.â just-once attempted to suppress war godâs aura.
âclank!â the emperors of celestial court penetrated jadesword dao lordâs ocean of blades. he was pierced in several places, being pushed back continuously.
âboom!â skysplitter conquerorâs lightning waves were oppressive and destructive. unfortunately, they were eventually extinguished.
âback to momentous frontier!â he knew that there was no point in fighting a losing battle.
âto momentous frontier!â dao portals appeared around kingdoms and sects in dao city. their cultivators began retreating toward dao frontier while the emperors fought to buy time.
meanwhile, the armies marched forward through the collapsed barriers.
light descended and imprinted celestial courtâs special markings on the land, seizing the territories.
emperors and dao lords could only watch their sects and kingdoms being taken away. unfortunately, they were powerless to stop the process without the help of immortal dao city. the battle was already grim enough and celestial court still had other apex cultivators.
âboom!â luminous gathered all the lights nearby to stop war and a suppressive beam originating from celestial court. he illuminated the entire world - a testament to his title.
âwithdraw to momentous frontier!â he withstood the attack while continuing to move backward before shouting.
the remaining combatants heard his command. anyone with enough power to run immediately headed in that direction.
