Book 6: Chapter 066: Sect Master Heavenly Access vs. Sect Master Heavenly Access
Boom!
A leg extended from the black hole. When that leg stepped out, even more purplish-black aura soared into the sky. At the same time, millions of sword qi appeared out of nowhere, surrounding this slowly emerging figure.
When Gu Hai started to lay the ritual array, Sect Master Heavenly Access had not thought much of it. After all, his Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array was the strongest sword Dao offensive ritual array, unrivaled in the world.
This was especially so after six years ago, when he fused the fragments of the Heaven Splitting Ax, the Primal Chaos Bell, the Universe Cauldron, and the Cross Annihilation into his Seven Immortal Executioner Swords. He believed that no enchanted treasure in the world could match his Seven Immortal Executioner Swords.
He even felt confident of shattering the ritual array if Old Mister Guan Qi laid it, what more the insignificant Gu Hai?
When Gu Hai had said “invites Sect Master Heavenly Access over,” Sect Master Heavenly Access thought he knew what ritual array it was. Isn’t this Old Mister Guan Qi’s ritual array from back then? The one to manifest cloud beasts to imitate experts?
I do not fear Old Mister Guan Qi laying ritual arrays, what more your Go Dao ritual array?
To imitate an expert, one needs to know the expert like the back of one’s hand. Do you—Gu Hai—understand me? How laughable! Even Old Mister Guan Qi would not dare say he could manifest me. To think you are not embarrassed to manifest me?
Sect Master Heavenly Access initially looked down on this cloud beast.
However, when that leg emerged, his pupils suddenly constricted.
Sword qi!
That’s right. The sword qi surrounding that cloud beast contains a ferocious aura. This is something unique to me. The cloud beast can also bring it out?
The sword qi manifested as a defensive measure. Clearly, that cloud beast has not appeared yet, but he has already started covering his surroundings to protect himself.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out, and the ritual array that Gu Hai laid withdrew. The black hole disappeared. However, he had already manifested that “cloud beast.”
The figure surrounded by a purplish-black aura seemed somewhat similar to Sect Master Heavenly Access.
As that figure descended, the surrounding aura and sword qi slowly dissipated.
Soon, a black-brocade-robed man with an extraordinary bearing appeared. He did not radiate much of an aura as he stood in the air. However, he exuded indomitability as though only he remained in the world.
Countless swords in Borderless Heavenly Capital started trembling.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Countless people clutched their swords with horrified faces.
“My Taiji Sword? This is…?” Zhang Sanfeng pressed down on his sword with shock.
Dongfang Bubai’s slender needles also trembled intensely.
“What is going on?” Dugu Qiubai exclaimed.
“The swords? They seemed to be saluting a sovereign!” Ximen Chuixue said with a frown.
“Saluting a sovereign?” Dongfang Bubai’s face sank.
“Yes. This black-clad man seems like the sovereign of all swords in the world. His appearance moved the hearts of millions of swords as though in worship of him.” Ximen Chuixue’s eyelids twitched wildly.
The black-clad man stood in the sky, not looking at anyone. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the sky. Then, he took a deep breath and guffawed somewhat excitedly, “The Six Paths Immortal Firmament? Hah!”
“Greetings, Sect Master Heavenly Access!” Gu Hai suddenly shouted.
That black-clad man turned his head in response.
“Huh?” Everyone’s face stiffened.
“This is Sect Master Heavenly Access? There is no resemblance!”
“Indeed. Aside from the similarity in their sword Dao auras, they do not look alike at all!”
“This is the Sect Master Heavenly Access cloud beast His Reverence manifested with the ritual array?”
Everyone suddenly felt like they saw a counterfeit Heavenly Access, the most important reason being that the newly arrived Heavenly Access did not match the first one.
Although doubts filled their hearts, no one said anything.
When that black-clad man saw Gu Hai, he suddenly showed a faint smile. Then, he bowed slightly. “The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access greets Mister Gu!”
“The Han Nation is in trouble, so I asked Sect Master Heavenly Access to come here. Do forgive me for this,” Gu Hai said with a slightly bitter smile.
“Hahahahaha! There’s no need. I’m happy you called me over,” the black-clad man guffawed.
“The attacker is also a Sect Master Heavenly Access. You should know him,” Gu Hai said.
“Oh?” The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access turned his head to look.
The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access’s scrutiny did not affect the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access. However, Xuan Du shivered, feeling as though heaven pressed down on him, and nearly knelt.
Far away, Ao Sheng and Prime Feng Yue gaped.
“This-this aura? It’s not weaker than Sect Master Heavenly Access’s?”
“Indeed. What a strong aura!”
The two felt bewildered as they spoke. Are we seeing a ghost?
First, Sect Master Heavenly Access showed up. Then, another Sect Master Heavenly Access appeared?
The distant Mosquito Daoist was also shocked.
The Mosquito Daoist suddenly felt a chill.
“How-how did he bring out a Heavenly Access on demand? Their auras are practically identical! Huh? No, they are slightly different. However, they are equally ridiculous! They are both ridiculously powerful!” the Mosquito Daoist exclaimed in horror.
Although the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access’s scrutiny did not pose much of a threat to the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access, that gaze made the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access narrow his eyes.
“Sect Master Heavenly Access? Which generation are you? Why does this sect master not recognize you?” the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access asked as his eyes turned cold.
This person does not look like me. Could it be one of the other Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Sect Master Heavenly Accesses from when I was reincarnating? After all, those Heavenly Accesses only received my inheritance and were not the first generation. They were just puppets I used to search for my sword Dao’s conception. However, this person is not among those puppets.
The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access curiously eyed the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access.
The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access had gained an understanding of the Six Paths Immortal Firmament while Gu Hai was in Earth’s immortal realm. He had heard from Gu Hai that there was someone with the same name as him. It turned out to be this person.
“Humph! This sect master does not care who you are. This world can have only one Sect Master Heavenly Access!” the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access said coldly.
As the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access spoke, he flung out his sleeve.
Shing!
A purple sword suddenly appeared in his right hand.
This sword looked plain and simple but gave off a terrifying aura. One’s heart pounded heavily at just a glance at it. Earlier, the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access only used a sword light from the Immortal Executioner Sword. Now, this was the Immortal Executioner Sword itself. This showed how seriously he took the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access.
When the Immortal Executioner Sword appeared, the trembling of the countless swords in the surroundings intensified. This time, they seemed to worship and salute the Immortal Executioner Sword.
Xuan Du withdrew quickly with some horror.
No matter how strong Gu Hai’s manifested cloud beast is, it is clear that the battle will be horrific based on how seriously the sect master is taking this. Xuan Du did not want to get caught up in the shock waves, so he beat a hasty retreat.
The Immortal Executioner Sword was the strongest sword in the world. When wielded by the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access, all factions would have to avoid it, no matter which.
The experts in Borderless Heavenly Capital felt worried. Even Gu Hai clenched his fists tightly as he waited.
“Oh? The Immortal Executioner Sword?” The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access’s eyes lit up.
In the next moment, the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access also flung out his sleeve.
Shing!
Suddenly, a purple sword appeared in the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access’s right hand as well.
This sword looked plain and simple, identical to the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Immortal Executioner Sword. It also gave off a purple aura, and myriad purple lightning motifs covered the sword’s surface. Like before, countless swords trembled intensely in the surroundings when the sword appeared.
Exactly the same?
If not for the two Sect Master Heavenly Accesses’ appearances being different, most would have thought one to be a mirror image.
“Another Immortal Executioner Sword?” Kong Xuan exclaimed in shock.
It was not just Kong Xuan; everyone was stupefied. It was one thing for Gu Hai to manifest a counterfeit Heavenly Access, but manifesting a counterfeit Immortal Executioner Sword was another thing altogether.
“It’s the real Immortal Executioner Sword?” The distant Mosquito Daoist opened its eyes so wide that they nearly popped out.
While others could not differentiate the real from a fake, the Mosquito Daoist had suffered from the Immortal Executioner Sword before. Furthermore, he had some innate racial talents that allowed him to be certain with a glance.
There is a second Immortal Executioner Sword in this world?
At this moment, the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access felt the same as the others—stupefied—but also depressed.
Do you think that the Immortal Executioner Sword is that easy to forge? After so many years, I only have one Immortal Executioner Sword, yet Gu Hai’s ritual array can manifest one?
This counterfeit standing before me is getting increasingly stranger.
“Gu Hai, your Go Dao ritual array is pretty good. Hah! Unfortunately, what is fake is ultimately just fake. Can you handle this sect master’s sword strike?” The Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access’s eyes turned cold.
As the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access spoke, his figure flashed, and he swung down the Immortal Executioner Sword in his hand.
Boom!
The Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access’s full-power strike was extremely horrifying. When the sword swung down, what it sent out was not just a sword aura but a heavenly aura.
The sky behind the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access seemed to crumble and collapse into the Immortal Executioner Sword. Then, it surged towards the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access.
That sword strike was like the apocalypse, a cataclysm.
When the experts saw that sword strike, they trembled in fear. Faced with this sword strike, they did not think of resisting. They only despaired.
Just as the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access swung his sword down, the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access made his move.
“Using the power that severed heaven and earth for yourself? The Severing Sword? I know that too!” Excitement at the prospect of fighting flashed in the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access’s eyes.
Boom!
The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access also swung his sword.
When the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access swung, the sky on his side seemed to crumble, then rushed to the other side.
The same Immortal Executioner Sword and the same sword technique. They both carried a might that could destroy the world as they clashed in midair.
In that instant, Xuan Du, Ao Sheng, and Prime Feng Yue felt chills run down their backs. At the same time, they felt incredibly terrified. What was wrong with me? Why did I dare to come and try to destroy Borderless Heavenly Capital previously?
When the two swords clashed, space started tearing near the swords’ tips.
Boom!
Countless tears ripped open in space, shredding everything they reached. A large black hole started expanding from the center of the explosion.
Gu Hai’s expression changed. “Oh no!”
Gu Hai quickly used the Life Trapper Saber to lay a ritual array to protect Borderless Heavenly Capital. Even so, the black hole engulfed Borderless Heavenly Capital, threatening to shred everything.
“Roar!”
The golden blessings dragon above Borderless Heavenly Capital roared. Surging blessings rushed to the surroundings of the ritual array, barely protecting Borderless Heavenly Capital. However, this protection would not last long.
Fortunately, the two Sect Master Heavenly Accesses withdrew their swords after their clash.
Rumble…!
A surging windstorm swept up countless mountains, rivers, and trees to fill the black hole.
Some time passed before the large black hole closed amid dust clouds.
Borderless Heavenly Capital shook, nearly crumbling.
Gu Hai felt startled and unnerved. That was a close call.
The fog slowly scattered. The others seemed to have forgotten the earlier danger, impatient to see the two Sect Master Heavenly Accesses.
