“I indeed had my fill of that young girl’s swordsmanship back in the day. She had quite the temper, I nearly got wounded by her.”
The three Palace Masters of the Three Pure Ones Palace recognized the swordsmanship used by Lu Changsheng and were even more intrigued.
“He’s still holding back his strength…”
Yuexi discovered that Lu Changsheng was still concealing his trump card; during their sparring, Lu Changsheng had not used his full strength.
If Lu Changsheng had used his full strength, she would have undoubtedly lost.
Yuexi suddenly understood, Lu Changsheng’s strength was above hers, losing to him was not strange.
“How is this possible?”
Tian Hao, Tian Chengjian, Murong Ba, and others who had lost to Lu Changsheng, were all shocked.
Lu Changsheng was stronger than they had imagined.
Two astonishing sword auras collided, invisible Sword Qi crisscrossed, and time and space seemed to shatter.
“What a joke! I am an unrivaled being in this era!”
Emperor Ku saw that Lu Changsheng’s sword aura was about to match him and was shocked and irate beyond measure.
Lu Changsheng was challenging his emperor’s majesty!
As an emperor, he should be unrivaled under heaven!
Emperor Ku desperately increased his Sword Qi, pouring all his True Qi into the golden Divine Sword, shining with dazzling golden light.
The oppressive might of the Supreme Emperor Body descended, trying to suppress Lu Changsheng’s Sword Domain.
Yet the Sword Domain rose up to meet the challenge, becoming more formidable, even encompassing Emperor Ku within it.
The Fifth Sword Realm was an unparalleled Cultivation Technique created by the Taihua Sword Maiden of the past. Although its ultimate potential was not as high as the techniques created by the Heavenly Emperor, the limit that Lu Changsheng could exert was higher than what Emperor Ku could manage, and that was sufficient.
Emperor Ku clenched his teeth, nearly depleting his True Qi.
Even the Heavenly Emperor behind the curtain couldn’t help but be moved.
Lu Changsheng’s Sword Domain enveloped the entire Martial Arts Platform, turning it into a world of swords.
Here, Lu Changsheng ruled everything.
“I will defeat you!”
Lu Changsheng’s will to defeat his opponent was unwavering.
Emperor Ku had touched his reverse scale, and he had no choice but to win.
This sword shook the world.
With Lu Changsheng’s True Qi, he couldn’t sustain it for long.
“Don’t even think about defeating me!”
Emperor Ku’s veins bulged as he yelled. His golden Sword Qi cut through everything, aiming for Lu Changsheng.
The two powerful Sword Qis collided, completely destroying the ruins of the Martial Arts Platform, turning solid rocks into dust, and the chaotic flow of time and space wreaked havoc.
The Sword Qi raged in frenzy, space shattered, and time was in disarray.
This duel had surpassed the expectations of the Great Experts and Divine King Realm masters present.
Ordinary Immortal Emperors could not exhibit such astonishing combat power.
Lu Changsheng’s body trembled; the backlash from the Fifth Sword Realm pushed every inch of his body to the brink of tearing!
The Fifth Sword Realm was too powerful, and Lu Changsheng barely managed to use it, enduring terrifying backlash.
Even someone with a Cultivation Level like Lin Xuantong would be injured if they were to forcefully employ the Fifth Sword Realm.
Lu Changsheng was still unaware of the extent of the backlash his body would incur under such extreme conditions, but Emperor Ku had enraged him beyond caring, and Lu Changsheng was determined to defeat Emperor Ku at all costs.
The Immortal Sword “Purple Lightning Clear Frost” trembled violently, and bursts of purple lightning shimmered amidst thunderclaps.
An eighth-grade Dao Artifact seemed unable to withstand the power of the Fifth Sword Realm.
Luckily, it was only the first part of the Cultivation Technique of the Fifth Sword Realm, and Purple Lightning Clear Frost barely held up.
If it were the complete Fifth Sword Realm, perhaps the Immortal Sword would have exploded without even unleashing the Sword Qi.
“Hah.”
With a low shout from Lu Changsheng, the Sword Qi of the entire Sword Domain swept in from all directions, aiming straight at Emperor Ku!
Emperor Ku fought with all his might; if Lu Changsheng showed any hesitation, he would be crushed by Emperor Ku’s golden supreme Sword Qi and might fall.
So Lu Changsheng had to exhaust all his True Qi and fight Emperor Ku to the death!
In this duel, neither side held back.
The onlooking parties also hesitated about intervening.
Should someone intervene, one side would undoubtedly be defeated.
If they did not intervene, there might even be casualties.
In the astonishment of the crowd, both sides exhausted all their True Qi and engaged in a final, deadly battle!
The top talents of the Lower Realm and the Heavenly Court clashed fiercely, causing a disturbance greater than a battle between ninth-grade Divine Kings.
“Changsheng…”
Lin Xuantong had faced many life-and-death situations but had never been so anxious, clenching his fists tightly.
He believed in Lu Changsheng, especially since Lu Changsheng had unleashed the sword intent of the Fifth Sword Realm.
“`
Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan and Jiang Family Ancestor held their breath in concentration, even these characters who were accustomed to life-and-death fights could not help but feel an inexplicable tension rising within them.
Jiang Family Ancestor, although discontent with Lu Changsheng replacing Jiang Yu as the successor of Mount Taihua Sacred Land, supported Lu Changsheng unconditionally due to the honor of Mount Taihua Sacred Land.
Lin Qinghan was so nervous that she tightly gripped the corners of her garment.
Lu Changsheng was challenging the number one genius of the Heavenly Court, the son of the Heavenly Emperor; both were going all out, and it was possible for either side to perish!
Xia Ningxue’s lips turned white; among all the people present, she was the most concerned about Lu Changsheng’s well-being.
Representatives from both the Holy Land and the Prestigious Family factions, including Li Changye, the White Immortal Emperor, Yan Zhiqiu, the Banished Sword Immortal, the Tai Shi Holy Maiden, Suxin the Pill Saint, Chongxu Daoist, Daoxuan True Sovereign, the Mother of Yaochi, and others who had some kind of relationship with Lu Changsheng, all paid close attention to the final outcome.
In the Heavenly Court faction, geniuses like Yuexi, Li Cangshui, Chu Wuqing, Tian Hao, Tian Chengjian, and others also wanted to see who would prevail.
In a collision that shook the heavens and the earth, the two terrifying sword intents finally dissipated.
Two figures stood atop the rubble that had become gravel, enveloped by the dust in the air.
The land for thousands of miles was divided into hundreds of thousands of pieces by the crisscrossing sword qi, the clouds were completely shattered, vanishing like smoke.
“Could it be a draw?”
Everyone was shocked.
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng knelt on one knee, supporting his body with the Longsword called Purple Lightning Clear Frost.
Large beads of sweat dripped down; Lu Changsheng gasped for air, his face as pale as golden paper.
“It seems that the Emperor’s son is still superior to the semi-divine challenger.”
“To push the Emperor’s son to such an extent is already incredibly difficult.”
“At the very least, he’s second in the world.”
The powerhouses from various Holy Lands and Prestigious Families, as well as the people from the hundred thousand Divine Palaces, all felt regret.
Lu Changsheng was so close to defeating Emperor Ku.
Emperor Ku was regarded as an invincible existence by everyone.
Such an outcome was unexpected.
A sudden turn of events, the standing Emperor Ku, collapsed with a thunderous fall.
While Lu Changsheng merely knelt on the ground.
The place where Emperor Ku fell was riddled with intersecting sword scars.
There were at least dozens of sword marks on Emperor Ku’s body.
Even with the Supreme Emperor Body, he was still hurt by the sword qi.
“The Emperor… The Emperor’s son has fallen!”
“How is this possible! We from the Heavenly Court have lost!”
“The Emperor’s son is invincible in our age!”
The geniuses from the Divine Palace exploded into a frenzy.
The Emperor’s son, upon whom the Heavenly Court placed great hopes, had fallen in the final fight!
The one who defeated the Emperor’s son was a person from the Lower Realm!
“What an unexpected outcome.”
“Somebody actually defeated a Supreme Emperor Body of the Divine King ninth grade in the Immortal Emperor Realm ninefold. Could it be that the Supreme Emperor Body is not the number one physique in the world?”
The great experts from the Three Pure Ones Palace, Mysterious Lady Palace, Wuming Palace, and Wushen Palace were all shocked by the results of the contest.
No one expected that Emperor Ku, the strongest genius of the Heavenly Court, would be defeated.
Up until now, Lu Changsheng had only become famous in the Immortal Realm and had never caused a stir in the Heavenly Court.
After this contest, probably everybody in the Heavenly Court will know, everybody will know.
“Did Changsheng win?!”
“Incredible, this is a disciple of our Mount Taihua! Defeating the Emperor’s son!”
The people from Mount Taihua Sacred Land were the most agitated; Lu Changsheng came from their land, and now, having defeated the strongest Emperor Ku, Mount Taihua also basked in the glory!
“He really won against the Emperor’s son…”
“It’s unbelievable.”
“Someone from the Lower Realm actually took the title!”
“Am I dreaming?”
People from all the Holy Lands and Prestigious Families couldn’t believe it, as if they were dreaming.
Before the Heavenly Court’s great assembly, everyone thought that unless something unexpected occurred, the Emperor’s son would win the title without any suspense.
However, the unexpected happened.
Lu Changsheng emerged out of nowhere, defeating Emperor Ku.
“That guy, where exactly is his limit?”
Yuexi’s beautiful eyes were full of admiration.
Lu Changsheng brought her too many surprises.
Yuexi once fought Emperor Ku and was not his match, yet Lu Changsheng had managed to break the legend of Emperor Ku’s invincibility.
