Heaven Burialâs innate presence alone instilled fear into the enemies. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
âCelestial Court will not exist after today.â Demon insisted, answering the second apex cultivator.
âIs that so?â Everyone heard a hum but didnât see a blade.
A swordsman descended and his sword dao engulfed the battlefield, infiltrating the mind itself. Everyone felt as if they were looking at a sword dao, not a person.
Individuals saw different things - a sword ocean, a single slash crossing the air, one strike against an immortal...
If these were illusions and visual phenomena, then the firm-hearted would be able to dispel them or at least see the same thing.
However, the emperors and monarchs still all witnessed something different. They were forced to stabilize their mind enough and focus their gaze, only then did a skinny youth appear before them.
He appeared youthful yet the contours of his face told a different story. They seemed to be chiseled by blades and tribulations.
He should exude youthful vigor but there was a sense of vicissitude to him. Others immediately noticed his profound eyes. Deep within was a simple innocence to the point of being obsessed with the dao.
âSword Emperor!â An ancient god shouted after seeing him. Everyone else shuddered after hearing this title.
He was the current lord of Celestial Court, the successor of Nether Emperor.
He and his allies gazed at the invading armies but didnât notice anything peculiar.
âAnd what does Celestial Court have up its sleeve?â Demon retorted.
âEverything. Before the river is our first line, as you can see. Then Fellow Daoist Hao Hai and the others wait beyond the river., and if we juniors cannot win, then the three immortals shall take action.â Sword Emperor spoke earnestly like a child, rendering it difficult for anyone to harbor hatred against him.
He paused for a moment before continuing: âWe can use the heavenly treasureâs power as well. If I were to use it as a sword, I would be able to defeat you, Fellow Daoist.â
Everyone listened attentively and exchanged glances afterward. His answer seemed so genuine and surprising, not hiding his ace cards.
This was a man with blood on his hands. He had ordered massacres against his clan and The People but now, how could anyone associate the current him with the monster in the past?
âIf this is everything you have, the best you can do is cross the river and thatâs it. You will become trapped like birds in the cages, surrounded.â He said.
Although Demon had summoned an incredible force, she might not be able to defeat the multiple lines of defense, let alone take down Celestial Court.
âWhatâs inevitable will come.â Demon said plainly.
âSacred Teacher is coming?â Sword spoke with a demeanor as if he were expecting a long-lost friend, not an enemy. This evoked a sense of anticipation.
âWe do not know Sacred Teacherâs whereabouts, but when he comes, Celestial Court will surely be annihilated.â Demon shook her head.
