The white line was extraordinarily dazzling, constantly spreading toward both sides, and it seemed unlikely to be limited to just a few thousand miles.
With this sword strike, the oncoming tidal wave was immediately torn apart, and the surging sword qi was not hindered in the slightest, continuously pushing forward.
Between heaven and earth, this brilliant white line seemed to want to split the world itself with this sword.
The grand spectacle of countless flying swords before was already something that all the great sword immortals of the current era could achieve, but that was not the sword of the Sword Sect's Sect Master.
That sword could be called the sword of Nepenthe.
While this sword contained a hint of somewhat surpassing Nepenthe.
This was the Sword Sect's Sect Master's unprecedented sword.
The dragon breath was devoured by the sword qi, and the snow-white true dragon reached the brilliant white line.
Afterward, the sounds gradually faded.
The snow-white true dragon that was several hundred feet long was cut down by that sword in this moment. The dragon's head fell into the sea of clouds and then dissolved into white mist, vanishing between heaven and earth.
The snow-white true dragon shattered, and now only the Great Liang Emperor remained to face this brilliant white line.
Even though the Great Liang Emperor possessed the strongest physique of the entire human race, it was not certain that he would remain unscathed before this sword of the human world.
But at this moment, there was no avoiding it, he could only face this brilliant white line head-on.
The Great Liang Emperor's emperor robes fluttered as he felt the myriad sword qi before him, and then he took a deep breath.
Horrific white mist began to materialize in front of him, enveloping the Great Liang Emperor's entire body.
The, the Great Liang Emperor let the mist separate from his body and slowly form a massive dharma idol, still resembling the Great Liang Emperor, but with an expressionless face, like a merciless divinity.
It resembled more like an unrivaled emperor overlooking the world.
In front of the brilliant white line, the massive dharma idol slowly raised a foot and then suddenly brought it down!
A terrifyingly immense pressure descended, causing the entire sea of clouds to tremble. When the brilliant white line was pushed across, it was stomped under the Great Liang Emperor's foot.
The terrifying aura collided with the endless sword qi, and the two began to truly tear into each other.
The Sword Sect's Sect Master suddenly opened his eyes, and his pupils flashed with golden light, shooting out two supreme sword lights that pierced through the entire sea of clouds.
He suddenly rose to his feet, and the flying sword on his knee was unsheathed in an instant.
At that moment, the entire world could hear the sword cry that echoed through heaven and earth.
No matter which corner of the world, at this very moment, the sound was clearly audible.
At this moment, the Sword Sect's Sect Master's unprecedented sword finally fully appeared in the world.
The grandeur of this unparalleled sword was displayed entirely before the Great Liang Emperor.
The Great Liang Emperor looked at this sword and smiled. “It's indeed an excellent sword.”
Extreme Northern Demon Territories.
Before the demon race's royal city, the frozen Onan River had already thawed. Although fragments of floating ice still drifted on its surface, it was no longer a big issue.
The Demon Emperor stood with his hands clasped behind his back on one side of the Onan River, accompanied only by the princess he doted on most, Autumn.
“This sword strike is far superior to the one aimed at Us back then. The so-called number one sword user in the world has indeed advanced a few steps."
the Demon Emperor spoke, his tone laced with mockery. “To be so infatuated with the sword, when all is said and done, it's just foolishness.”
Autumn asked curiously, “Father, can this sword kill the Great Liang Emperor?”
The Demon Emperor shook his head. “The sword isn't complete, how could it kill Chen Che?”
Autumn frowned and said, “This sword is awe-inspiring, probably even surpassing Nepenthe. Yet it still cannot kill him?”
The Demon Emperor fell silent for a moment before replying, “This sword can kill any great demon below Us and all human cultivator except Chen Che. But it cannot kill either Chen Che or Us.”
Among the cultivators of the world, there were distinctions of rank and skill. In the eyes of the Demon Emperor, he naturally stood at the pinnacle. As for other powerhouses, looking across the entire world, only the Great Liang Emperor was qualified to stand by his side.
The rest were not worth mentioning.
“But after taking that sword, can Chen Che still survive?”
The Demon Emperor sounded somewhat wistful.
Autumn froze for a moment before realizing something. “Royal Father... are you planning to kill him personally?”
The Demon Emperor did not speak.
To the demon race, Chen Che was their greatest enemy.
Now that he was gravely injured, how could he be allowed to live?
"We have to at least try."
The Demon Emperor said calmly, "For the sake of the demon race."
Countless rivers of sword qi flowed across the sea of clouds, resembling surging torrents. Each river of sword qi carried overwhelming sword intent.
Any one of these rivers, taken individually, would be equivalent to the full-force strike of a great sword immortal.
However, this was merely one branch of that sword.
The power of this sword could no longer be described with words.
Was there truly anyone in the world who could withstand this sword?!
The Great Liang Emperor's dharma idol had already been destroyed by the sword qi. He was deeply engulfed in the surging torrents of sword qi and had been locked down by the sword. He could no longer escape.
The Great Liang Emperor’s face had been cut by several gashes from the sword qi.
His emperor robe was already in tatters.
He was submerged in that endless sword qi.
The most terrifying sword of this era had been unleashed to kill the most domineering and unparalleled martial artist of this era.
Regardless of who won or lost this battle, it was destined to be recorded in history, never to be altered.
This was humanity’s most powerful battle in a thousand years.
Amidst the endless sword radiance, no one could see the Great Liang Emperor, who had been engulfed by the sword qi.
Perhaps he had already been dismembered by the sword radiance and no longer existed in this world.
Was this most valiant emperor in history about to become a mere figure of history?
The Sword Sect's Sect Master's expression had become incomparably solemn.
The sword had already been unleashed by him. He could no longer deliver a second sword strike in a short time. The boundless sword qi within this great sword immortal's body had now completely surged out, leaving him scarcely stronger than an ordinary person.
Yet, at this very moment, within the sword light in the sea of clouds, an aura was currently emerging. Confronted with this torrent of sword qi, not only was the aura not engulfed, but it grew stronger and stronger instead.
Finally... it erupted.
A beam of light suddenly shot out from the sword radiance, piercing toward the heavens!
The sky itself seemed to be torn open at this moment!
The Great Liang Emperor's towering figure reappeared. The surrounding sword light continued to strike his body relentlessly, but he neither fell nor retreated.
Terrifying auras began surging from every aperture of his body, tearing apart the sword lights around him.
The Sword Sect's Sect Master's unprecedented sword had now passed its peak and was beginning to wane, while the Great Liang Emperor's aura continued to climb higher and higher without ceasing.
With the rise of one and the fall of the other, the tide of the battle had reversed once again.
The Sword Sect’s Sect Master widened his eyes. Yet they did not show terror but rather desolation.
That sword, which he had unleashed fully, could no longer be altered. What left him despondent was not failing to kill the Great Liang Emperor with it, but that this sword... to this very moment... was still only ninety percent complete.
That sword... failed to achieve completion.
