1708 You Are Not Worthy Of Holding That Sword, Killing You With One Slash

"The Spiritual Sword Tribe is getting weaker." Tian Hong looked at Ling Fei with a scornful grin.

Upon hearing his words, Ling Fei struggled and tried to break free. He channeled his energy to the limit, but it was no use as he was pinned down to the ground.

"The gap between your strength and mine is so drastic. How are you going to break free from my grasp?"

"Stop it!"

Feng Qingxue and Han Xingyu tried to help by attacking Tian Hong, but the other Imperial soldiers stopped them.

Feng Qingxue was a Prodigy on the Heavenly God Leaderboard, which made her slightly stronger. However, she was still no match for the soldiers.

As for Han Xingyu, she was just a Gilded Immortal. Hence, she was smacked and slammed on the deck. The Void Sword that she safe-kept for Chu Kuangren fell as well.

When Tian Hong saw the Void Sword, his eyes gleamed with interest. "This sword is rather interesting."

He tried to reach out for the sword, but a strong sword aura burst out from its black sheath.

Seeing that he could not move past the sword aura, Tian Hong's eyes narrowed. "What a good treasure. I never thought I'd be in for a surprise."

He channeled his energy and tried to reach out for the sword again.

That was when a cold voice sounded. "You're not worthy of holding that sword."

As soon as the words subsided, the Void Sword responded by releasing a stronger sword aura, forcing Tian Hong back.

Tian Hong's eyes narrowed as he looked up at the pavilion.

The pavilion was erected at the top of the ship, and it was where the voice came from.

"Hmph! Who dares play tricks in front of me?"

"Get him!" he said to his soldiers.

Following a creak, the door of the pavilion opened.

A white figure walked out slowly. He was surrounded by glimmers of Immortal Sparks, and his presence was vast as the sky and boundless as the ocean. In other words, it was unpredictable!

"Imbecil, who allowed you to use force in front of the Heavens?" he bellowed.

Chu Kuangren waved his sleeve and released his boundless Immortal's Core energy, blasting the soldiers out of the ship.

Tian Hong was startled by Chu Kuangren's move. When he heard Chu Kuangren calling himself the Heavens, his heart started to pound anxiously.

"Calling yourself the Heavens? I'm sure you're the Heavenly Sword who has been garnering attention lately."

While searching for the fragment, Tian Hong had heard a lot about the Heavenly Sword.

Although he had never seen the Heavenly Sword in person before, he was certain that Chu Kuangren was the one.

"For boarding my ship and hurting my followers, your punishment is death!"

Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes and unleashed surges of fierce sword qi from his body. The sword qi wreaked havoc around the area like a tornado.

The sword qi locked onto every soldier around, forcing them to enter a defensive stance.

However, Chu Kuangren's sword qi was not something they could easily defend against.

Cultivators below the Arch Gilded Immortal Realm would die upon contact with them.

In the blink of an eye, multiple clouds of blood mist burst around the ship.

Only seven to eight soldiers were left alive.

The survivors gasped in shock when they saw their comrades killed by the sword qi.

"He's going against the Emperor Tribe?"

"What a terrifying sword qi!"

"Those under Arch Gilded Immortal Realm would die upon contact, and it's just his sword qi. If he attacked with his full strength, how terrifying would it be?"

The residents of the Holy Merchant Ancient Planet also noticed the conflict on Chu Kuangren's ship.

A heated discussion was sparked among the cultivators, and they all looked at Chu Kuangren in shock.

Tian Hong, on the other hand, reacted with a bitter look. "Even if you are the Heavenly Sword, you cannot afford to defy the Emperor Tribe!"

"Emperor? I am the Heavens. What could the Emperors do to me?" Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly.

"Hmph!" Tian Hong grunted.

At that moment, he accidentally spotted the ring on Chu Kuangren's finger, and the jade talisman on him started to glow and buzz when Chu Kuangren appeared.

Tian Hong was rather surprised. "It's on you? Hand it over, and I'll pretend none of this happened."

"Unfortunately, your actions have offended the Heavens, and the only punishment is death."

Chu Kuangren knew Tian Hong came for the ring on his finger.

The ring was one of the treasures he got from the Galaxy God King's treasury, and it contained a fragmented soul inside. Who would have thought that it would attract the attention of the Emperor Tribe?

However, he had no intention of handing the ring over.

"In that case, you will have to die!"

Tian Hong and the rest of the Arch Gilded Immortal soldiers attacked at once.

"Arch Gilded Heavenly Emperor Palm!"

"Heavenly Emperor Sword Art!"

Some of them used their palms, unleashing golden palm seals at Chu Kuangren that felt like the sky was crashing down on him.

Some used swords, swinging their golden blades at Chu Kuangren with an Emperor's avatar behind them.

Tian Hong was the strongest out of them all. He channeled his Arch Gilded Intent with both his hands, gathering golden light in between his palm that was surrounded by countless mystical Daoist patterns. The energy filled the entire ship and formed an invisible domain.

"Almighty Supreme, Emperor Domain!"

It was an extremely powerful cultivation technique unique to the Emperor Tribe. It could transform a certain terrain into an energy domain that would benefit the user and suppress the opponent.

It was something like an enchanted boundary.

As soon as the Emperor Domain was cast, Chu Kuangren felt an immense pressure weighing over him as if countless ancient planets were on his shoulders.

The other Arch Gilded Immortal's ultimate techniques were already hurled at him.

"Are you trying to defy the Heavens with that? How naive."

Chu Kuangren pointed his sword hand sign forward, and sword intents appeared at the tip of his finger. As he pointed it forward, the boundless and terrifying sword qi, carrying Life-Death Samsara energy, gushed out.

As multiple sources of energy clashed, the stray energies destroyed the nearby planets.

As a result of the impact, a violent energy storm erupted.

Chu Kuangren flew to Ling Fei, Han Xingyu, and Feng Qingxue. With a swing of his sleeve, he sent them out of the battlefield.

"We must leave now!" Ling Fei said with gritted teeth, and there was a look of reluctance in his eyes.

They would only burden Chu Kuangren by staying back, so they flew back to the Holy Merchant Ancient Planet to wait for him. The planet had a massive amount of runes etched on it, so it would not collapse so easily.

The warship exploded and turned into cosmic dust.

Even so, Chu Kuangren and the Arch Gilded Imperial soldiers continued to fight.

Looking at his destroyed ship, Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes. "You've angered the Heavens."

With that, he grabbed the Void Sword beside him.

As his hand held the hilt, a tremendous sword aura flooded the airspace.

"Sword, Thousand Terrains!"

As he swung the sword forward, the sword intent transformed into a thousand terrains and the cycle of rebirth!

A powerful sword shadow slashed forward, tearing through the starry sky, and was aimed at one of the Arch Gilded Immortals. The unlucky one failed to block the energy and was killed by the sword qi on the spot.

The others who survived were not in a good state either.

Other than Tian Hong, those struck by the sword qi's energy burst into clouds of blood mist that stained the dark space red.

It took Chu Kuangren one slash to kill multiple Arch Gilded Immortal elites!

The power of that sword attack made Tian Hong rethink his action. He yelled and channeled his energy to the limit.

Having mastered at least three of the five qi in the Five Qi realm, he was considered an elite even within cultivators in the Five Qi realm. Therefore, he had the absolute advantage against a Trinity Flower-realm cultivator.

Unfortunately, Chu Kuangren was not just any Trinity Flower-realm cultivator.

"I will kill you with one slash!"

Chu Kuangren looked at Tian Hong, and his vast sword intent surged and impacted the whole Emperor Domain.
