Chapter 1107: Paragon Sword King
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Surrealism was something boundless, a high-level law in the world. Not only does a world have spatial law, it has surrealism law as well. This was what they meant in buddhist sayings that an entire world could fit into a mustard seed.
Using this law, an entire world in a seed could hide as a speck or a particle in a boundless universe.
Surrealism law contains mystical capabilities. It was just like now when the heaven chosen from the Skymist Immortal Empire attacks, motes of particle-size light could transform into gigantic demonic elephants, radiating true terrifying might that could destroy the world.
The expressions on the experts from the Evergreen Immortal Empire all turned unsightly to behold. They stared at the battle platform. Right now, the situation was totally controlled by the Skymist Immortal Empire's expert. Each mote of light was a gigantic demonic elephant that could smash anyone in its way. The descendants of nobility from the Evergreen Immortal Empire were pretty powerful as well, using mighty attacks to destroy the elephants. However at this moment, the other experts of the Skymist Immortal Empire didn't forget to take the chance to launch attacks when their opponents were distracted. In the blink of an eye, several experts from the Evergreen Immortal Empire were injured.
The combat has only been going on for a short period of time, but the victor was almost already decided.
"That person's talent is extremely high." Qin Wentian stared at the eighth-level immortal-foundation expert. The immortal-foundation of that person had reached the flawless state, it was a fifth-tier king-graded immortal-foundation. In addition to his proficiency in surrealism and the divine elephant, he still had other laws to fall back on to power his attacks. It was terrifying to the extreme to fight against him.
For this battle, the Evergreen Immortal Empire would lose for sure. Nobody would be able to stand equal to such a character.
And as expected, the situation was one-sided. Under the control of the Skymist Immortal Empire's terrifying genius, the experts from the Evergreen Immortal Empire were injured one by one and the combat quickly ended.
Everyone was somewhat in a daze as they watched the battle. They didn't expect the Evergreen Immortal Empire would be defeated so quickly and so miserably. The envoys of the Skymist Immortal Empire, for the upper-tier immortal-foundation characters, won a complete victory against the descendants of nobility from the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
"Thanks for showing mercy." Skymist Jiang had a wide smile on his face as he spoke. He then continued, "Prince Longhao, seems like after the internal warfare in the past, the vitality of the Evergreen Immortal Empire was heavily damaged leading to the inferior talents of the junior generation. If this is the case, if there is another internal warfare happening in the future, I'm afraid the Evergreen Immortal Emperor might fall once and for all."
The words of Skymist Jiang contained an undisguised threat. It was like he was using this battle to remind the Evergreen Immortal Empire of something.
"It's natural that the strength of juniors are weak. Prince Jiang, isn't it ridiculous that you are using a battle among juniors to evaluate the strength of my Evergreen Immortal Empire? Back then, the Skymist Immortal Empire didn't believe in the strength of my father. But ultimately, who became the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, gaining control of this boundlessly vast territory and was strong enough that other empires are unable to encroach upon it? It would be the same in the future as well." Evergreen Longhao smiled, his words also containing another layer of meaning, saying that if the Skymist Immortal Empire interferes and engineered another internal warfare, the other party would similarly be defeated this time around.
"Haha, that might not be so. The strength of juniors does indicate a certain aspect of the strength of an empire." Skymist Jiang laughed uproariously.
"What a joke, you guys prepared so hard just to obtain a victory and want to use this fact to overwhelm us? Aren't you thinking too much of yourselves?" From afar, a voice thundered out. Numerous figures soared through the air, all of them extraordinary. They all stopped when they arrived in Evergreen Longhao's surroundings. These people were all the marquises and kings of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
"Things are getting more and more lively." Skymist Jiang didn't mind it and smiled. The people on the platform have already retreated. But right now, in the direction of the Paragon Sword Sect, the expert in the lead laughed, "Who would have thought that the combat would be so fascinating? Since this is the case, my Paragon Sword Sect would like to join in the fun as well. We would like a spar against the juniors of the Evergreen Immortal Empire too."
As the sound of his voice faded, nine experts simultaneously stepped out, moving up the battle platform. These nine experts were all at the middle-tier of immortal foundation, from the fourth to sixth level.
At this instant, the gazes of everyone stiffened. This move by the Paragon Sword Sect seemed too timely and as the sound of that immortal king from the Paragon Sword Sect rang out, the nine experts from the junior generations seamlessly moved out so naturally, like everything was pre-planned. If this is said to be a coincidence, there would probably be no one who believed it.
Evergreen Longhao's countenance instantly sunk. This was different compared to the Skymist Immortal Empire. The combat with the Skymist Immortal Empire was something they had already anticipated, everyone knew the Skymist Empire came with ill intentions to demean the Evergreen Immortal Empire, wanting their most outstanding princesses to be married off to that wastrel Skymist Hai.
But the Paragon Sword Sect's act was something nobody had predicted. The Evergreen Immortal Empire didn't expect that at this moment, the Paragon Sword Sect would request the same thing, wanting a spar against them. This indicated that there's a high possibility that the Paragon Sword Sect has already joined forces with the Skymist Immortal Empire.
Among the peak powers in the Eastern Regions, the Evergreen Immortal Empire was situated right smack in the center. To their north was the Skymist Immortal Empire, and to their south was the Paragon Sword Sect. The Evergreen Immortal Empire was in the middle of these two powers and if these two powers were to simultaneously launch an attack together, things would definitely be extremely unfavourable to the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
By making this move at this situation now, there was definitely another layer of meaning behind the Paragon Sword Sect's actions.
The expressions of experts from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect also changed slightly. These people here were all intelligent individuals, how could they not sense what was going on. Before this, Qin Wentian noted that the Paragon Sword Sect was polite to all the other powers, even he also didn't expected that they would be working together with the Skymist Immortal Empire.
"The Evergreen Immortal Empire is situated in the middle of the Skymist Immortal Empire and the Paragon Sword Sect. If these two joined forces to deal with the Evergreen Immortal Empire, it would mean catastrophe to them. If our Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect interferes in this, we might be implicated by this." An immortal king beside Qin Wentian transmitted his voice over.
Right now, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect was considered a newly risen-up power that was among the weakest of peak-tier powers in the Eastern Regions. They were surrounded by several hegemons, and hence, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect wanted to make more friends. For example, Qin Wentian's relationship with Qing`er meant that there was a possibility of both the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect and Evergreen Immortal Empire being in an alliance. But similarly, they would suffer the enmity of the Skymist Immortal Empire. This was an equivalent exchange, with benefits and disadvantages.
But with the addition of the Paragon Sword Sect, if the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect still stood on the side or walked too closely with the Evergreen Immortal Empire, the disadvantages were evidently much more in comparison.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly, he naturally understood this logic.
Logically as a third party, he should step aside and ignore this matter. But earlier, Skymist Hai used Qing`er as an excuse and even insulted her. This was something he could never accept.
The atmosphere of the banquet gradually grew more and more sinister. Everyone present could see the scheme layered against the Evergreen Immortal Empire slowly progressing step by step. The Skymist Immortal Empire used sparring as a pretext while the Paragon Sword Sect joined them, publicly smacking the face and prestige of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
In addition, from the start until that moment earlier, the Paragon Sword Sect didn't do anything special. And because this platform was designed for the sparring purpose, the Evergreen Immortal Empire had no grounds to reject when they said they wanted to spar against the juniors of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
A cold light glinted in Evergreen Longhao's eyes as he stared at the people around him. The internal warfare of the past had truly weakened their empire's strength as many geniuses died in the chaos. Right now, it was clear that their level of strength as a peak-power was below the Skymist Immortal Empire. In fact, they didn't even know if they could measure up as equals to the Paragon Sword Sect.
It was as though these two peak powers were using this chance to suppress the growth of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
"Please provide us with some guidance." On the battlefield, the experts of the Paragon Sword Sect spoke and urged Evergreen Longhao. This caused many middle-tier immortal-foundation characters of the Evergreen Immortal Empire to step out, eager to prove themselves.
Finally, Evergreen Longhao chose nine experts, allowing them to go up onto the battle platform.
Instantly, the nine experts from the Paragon Sword Sect radiated boundless sword might. The one standing in the center of the nine was the strongest. His cultivation base was at the sixth-level, the sword intent gushing forth from him was a sword intent that belonged to a king. His eyes were incomparably sharp and with it seemed that with a mere twitch of his finger, he was able to freely control the sword might generated by others.
"Damn." The countenances of the Evergreen Immortal Empire all changed. This man was actually the legendary sword king of the Paragon Sword Sect. He had an innate talent that allowed him to control any sword qi and sword might, even sword force from the bodies of others can be used by him. He was truly, a paragon of the sword.
"The heaven chosen from the Evergreen Immortal Empire are in for it. They will lose for sure." Many people stated in a low voice. Qin Wentian turned his gaze towards the immortal king by his side. The immortal king spoke in a low voice, "The Paragon Sword Sect has a special inheritance. For those supreme demon-level geniuses, they are able to manifest a paragon sword soul after they cultivated the inheritance. However, there's only one among tens of thousands, and everytime a character like that appeared in the Paragon Sword Sect, they would earn the title of Paragon Sword King and be a commander. They would be fully nurtured by the sect and were a successor-in-training to take over the Paragon Sword Sect in the future. These characters have statuses equal to the Holy Successors of the Southern Phoenix Clan. However, a Holy Successor would appear after ever hundred years but such a character might not appear in the Paragon Sword Sect even for thousands or ten thousands of years."
As the two of them spoke, combat already erupted. Qin Wentian turned his gaze over and saw the Paragon Sword King unleashing his might. The sword intent of all the other eight swordsmen were focused completely on him. Every sword slash he made was imbued with lightning, ripping through the defenses of the Evergreen Immortal Empire's experts. Although the power was great, he didn't kill anyone. This indicated how perfect is control of strength was.
He then flicked his finger in a certain direction, unleashing beams of sword light that were so fast that the naked eyes couldn't follow the speed. With a piercing sound, the body of his target was cleanly pierced through.
"There will be no suspense." Qin Wentian stared at this scene as he mused. Everyone was thinking the same thing as well. Upon seeing the current situation on the battle platform, the Evergreen Immortal Empire's experts could only wait for their inevitable fate - to be defeated one by one.
