1768 The Heavens Have Given You a Chance, But You Can’t Seem to Seize It, The King’s Mark



"Unsheathe your sword now, you fake!"

Gu Qingshan raised his hand and casually grabbed an incoming sword.

That sword was one of the top-tier Arch Gilded Immortal Weapons from the Thousand Sword Peak.

Chu Kuangren held the Void Sword by its sheathe. Then, he made a sword hand sign and gestured the Void Sword to unsheathe itself. Its black surface was akin to a black hole, sucking all light from the world into it!

It was the king of all swords, and every sword in the universe had to submit it!

The countless swords hovering in the air started trembling uncontrollably as if something terrifying had appeared.

The Void Sword…

The sword had been on the Thousand Sword Peak for countless years, so all the swords in that area knew to fear its aura.

At the Void Sword's appearance, the remaining swords were on the brink of shattering. It was as if they were facing their ruler.

Clang! Clang!

Numerous clangs of metal sounded as thousands of swords collided in the air and fell to the ground. None of them dared to release their power before the Void Sword!

"Wonderful! This Void Sword truly deserves to be my sword!"

After seeing the Void Sword's sharpness, Gu Qingshan's eyes burned with desire. He wanted to make this sword belong to him!

Meanwhile, having noticed the greed in his opponent's eyes, Chu Kuangren could not help but sneer.

He did something unexpected the next instant.

"You want it? Sure, here you go!"

Chu Kuangren tossed the Void Sword high into the air toward Gu Qingshan!

The ruler of all swords was abandoned just like that!

Everyone was stunned and speechless. 

'Doesn't that guy know how valuable the Void Sword is? Why is he willingly giving that precious sword to his opponent?!'

For the Spiritual Sword Tribe cultivators, their sword was like their most important partner in battle. Having a good sword was crucial to everyone. Hence, they were puzzled to see what Chu Kuangren did.

Gu Qingshan was also a little stunned when he saw that.

However, he then tossed away his sword, raised his hand, and reached out to grab the Void Sword. The moment the Void Sword was in his grasp, he could not help but burst into laughter. "Haha, how wise of you to return this sword to its rightful owner."

He thought that Chu Kuangren had given up on the battle.

Boom!

However, the Void Sword started to tremble violently, and it released a terrifying sword aura. The Void Sword was trying to escape Gu Qingshan's grasp!

Gu Qingshan's expression sank. "How can this be…"

'According to legends, the Void Sword is the Heavenly Sword's personal sword. Why… Why is the Void Sword rejecting me so much?!'

"No, it's impossible! I'm the true Heavenly Sword. As for you, Void Sword, you must submit to me!"

Gu Qingshan roared. He channeled his Heavenly Sword's ultimate intent to the limit, hoping to suppress the Void Sword. Alas, the Void Sword's resistance only grew stronger!

It was the Void Sword's sword intent versus the Heavenly Sword's ultimate intent!

As the two energies collided, the sword chime from the Void Sword rang out. The surrounding swords trembled continuously, seemingly out of fear!

They could sense that the Void Sword was enraged!

Not everyone was qualified to control the Void Sword.

It was no doubt that Gu Qingshan's Heavenly Sword's ultimate intent was very powerful. He might even achieve unprecedented feats in the history of Sword Dao in the future.

If it were back then, the Void Sword would have submitted to him already.

However, after being by Chu Kuangren's side, it had witnessed the true limit-breaking peak of power!

Chu Kuangren was the best individual worthy of wielding it!

Having experienced the best, Gu Qingshan seemed ordinary to the Void Sword now.

Hum!

The Void Sword's resistance grew more powerful until finally, Gu Qingshan could no longer control it. The Void Sword escaped from his hand!

After returning to Chu Kuangren's possession, the Void Sword let out a clear and pleasant-sounding sword chime as if it was voicing its delight and joy!

If it could talk, it would say, "Only this person is worthy of wielding me!"

"How is this possible…"

Gu Qingshan was very confused as he watched that happen.

'Isn't the Void Sword supposed to be the Heavenly Sword's personal sword?'

'How could this be?'

"The Heavens have given you a chance, but you can't seem to seize it," Chu Kuangren said indifferently.

The Sword God King's eyes flickered while watching the scene play out from afar. "It looks like the results are clear." 

The crowd of Prodigies looked at each other with doubt.

"How can this be? Isn't Gu Qingshan the Heavenly Sword?"

"Have we been following the wrong person all along? However, how does that explain his Heavenly Sword's ultimate intent?"

"Are there two Heavenly Swords now?"

Everyone did not understand what was going on.

However, Gu Qingshan's expression darkened, and his sword intent erupted at peak level. The surrounding swords responded to his screams and rose into the sky, prompting a terrifying surge of sword aura to spread!

"I'm the true Heavenly Sword!"

"I don't care who the hell you are. Today, I'm going to kill you once and for all!" Gu Qingshan said in a chilling tone filled with killing intent.

There was no way two Heavenly Swords could exist in this world. Since that was the case, he decided to kill Chu Kuangren. Once he did that, he was eager to find out whether the Void Sword would submit to him or not!

Chu Kuangren held the Void Sword, and his chilling aura and sword intent erupted. His disdainful gaze landed on his opponent!

"Who else dares to proclaim themselves the Heavens other than me?!"

Boom!

The entire Divine Sword Peak trembled as horrifying surges of sword intent rose into the sky, turning into a gigantic sword shadow!

That sword shadow looked alike to the Void Sword!

Its sword intent swirled and locked onto Gu Qingshan!

Gu Qingshan grunted, channeling his energy to the maximum. "Ultimate Heavenly Sword, Heavenly Myriad Sword Retaliation!"

Countless swords gathered in the sky and turned into an incredibly ferocious sword dragon. Under the control of the Heavenly Sword's intent, the dragon began charging toward Chu Kuangren!

At that moment, the gigantic sword shadow also came crashing down!

The two energies collided in what was known as the pinnacle of sword fights below the level of God Kings!

Countless sword cultivators of the Spiritual Sword Tribe watched attentively as the scene unfolded. None of them dared to look away for even a second.

With a boom, the ultimate sword techniques clashed in the sky!

A great explosion followed, sending shockwaves into space! 

As Daoist patterns clashed and Immortal's Core energies intertwined, colorful bursts of energy illuminated the sky. The remnant sword qi that spread everywhere reduced the surrounding terrain into rubble.

The clash of that attack caused the whole Ancient Spiritual Sword Planet to rumble!

The countless sword qi soon formed a pillar of light that reached into space, blowing up any planets in its way!

Amidst the dazzling Immortal Sparks, a figure suddenly fell from the sky.

It was Gu Qingshan!

He was sent flying from battle, crashing through several mountain peaks!

As billows of smoke and dust rose from the earth, countless swords began to fall on the ground. Everyone was stunned.

"Has Gu Qingshan lost?! Isn't he the real Heavenly Sword?"

"This means he isn't the real Heavenly Sword!"

"Tsk tsk. Sure enough, there's only one Heavenly Sword."

The Spiritual Sword Tribe cultivators discussed among themselves.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Gu Qingshan's grim expression was visible. His black robes were riddled with tears and holes, revealing his muscular upper body.

"How can this be?!"

"How can I lose in a battle of swords?!"

After all, he was the Heavenly Sword!

Dissatisfied with the outcome, a mysterious rune started swirling in his eyes. That rune soon lit up, causing the power of his aura to skyrocket!

Boom!

A terrifying burst of sword qi erupted and sent some of the Spiritual Sword Tribe cultivators nearby flying.

Some were even torn apart by the burst of sword qi!

In a panic, everyone quickly retreated.

Gu Qingshan was so enraged that he could not care less about killing his own tribe members. It was evident how enraged he was at that time.

"Oh, this strange aura…"

Chu Kuangren noticed the swirling rune in his opponent's eyes.

That rune was extremely mysterious, so mysterious that one could seemingly witness the manifestation of the Dao itself. Instead of saying it was a rune, it looked more like a completed strand of Dao!

That strand of Dao was like a sword, sharp and unstoppable!

"Sure enough, that's the King's Mark!" the Sword God King said.
