Chapter 1332: Chapter 1330: The Legend of the Blue Robe Sword Emperor
Once again treading the old path, Shi Xiaole was accustomed to the journey and quickly passed through Moral Mount to arrive at the Ming Ancient World.
Humming humming humming...
Layers upon layers of Array System light screens obstructed the way ahead, all of which were peak Sky Origin Array Systems. Although their complexity was not on par with the "Seal Heaven Array," they were still not to be underestimated.
Clearly, the people of the Ming Ancient World had guessed that Shi Xiaole would come to kill them, so they had set up the most ingenious Array Systems in advance, hoping to stop him.
Shi Xiaole activated his soul body and observed the first layer of the Array System with the power of his soul.
As a son of the Holy Monarch, inheriting the Holy Monarch’s soul advantage on top of the fusion and mutation of the souls from his two lives, his level had surged dramatically. It was likely that no one truly realized how terrifying Shi Xiaole’s soul body was.
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
...
Two months later, with thousands of finger taps by Shi Xiaole, which exhausted the painstaking efforts and lifelong dedication of many Array System grandmasters of the Ming Ancient World, the Array System shattered thunderously.
Another half a month passed, and the second layer of the Array System was broken through.
By the time he reached the third layer of the Array System, the time it took Shi Xiaole shortened to one month.
The Array Systems of each world, no matter how profound, each had its own distinct style. Shi Xiaole was getting the hang of the patterns of the Ming Ancient World’s Array Systems, breaking through them faster with each attempt.
The fourth layer.
The fifth layer.
After half a year, Shi Xiaole had finally broken through the nine layers of the grand Array and entered the Ming Ancient World.
"No Supreme Lord?"
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Shi Xiaole quickly arrived at Heavenly City, easily extracting information from the minds of some people.
"The Extreme Wood World has already been conquered?"
The Extreme Wood World, another one of the three great worlds, was filled with strong beings. Excluding the Holy Monarch and Shi Xiaole, its overall strength was even above that of the East Victory World.
As Shi Xiaole had expected, after the Limitless Sword Sovereign and others returned to the Ming Ancient World, they went all out and began to focus their firepower on attacking the other three great worlds.
In the previous eight months, they had already successfully conquered the Extreme Wood World, and they were only half a step away from conquering the Azure World.
Without a second thought, Shi Xiaole charged into one of the Void Channels.
The Azure World, a scene of bleakness between heaven and earth.
Over a month had passed since a group of reinforcements suddenly appeared within the Outer Heaven camp. The top-tier Supreme Lords alone had increased from four to seven, and the number of other Supreme Lords had increased by dozens.
Faced with such an overwhelming advantage, the Azure World had fought until it was completely drained. Only one top-tier Supreme Lord remained alive, and that one was gravely injured. Of the other Supreme Lords, only two or three were left, none of whom were in any condition to fight.
And on this very day, the frenzied Outer Heaven Demons once again launched a fierce attack.
"The heavens doom our Azure!"
A middle-aged man in tattered yellow robes had a look of grief on his face, tears streaming down. He was the last surviving top-tier Supreme Lord of the Azure World.
Beneath him, countless Azure World warriors had expressions of solemn determination as they clutched the weapons in their hands, resolved to make one last effort for their home with their lives.
"Die!"
The Limitless Sword Sovereign laughed maliciously as he commanded. The Supreme Lords and warriors exerted their strength together, striking forward. The Azure World’s Array System, after all not as formidable as the "Seal Heaven Array," began to crack on its surface.
It was about to shatter in the next second.
Clang!
Every warrior present in the Azure World would never forget that sound of a sword’s cry. It was like the most scorching ray of sunshine, piercing through the darkness that loomed over their heads.
A massive sword beam woven of black and white streaked from the endless distance, and as soon as the sword’s cry began, it charged into the vast rear of the Outer Heaven camp.
A series of agonized screams echoed without end.
Countless Outer Heaven experts perished by that sword, along with several first-rate Supreme Lords who also met their end right there.
In the eyes of the Azure World warriors, the seven top-tier Supreme Lords who seemed invincible and ferociously fierce were now seemingly shocked and turned their heads abruptly, no longer caring about attacking the Array System, only thinking of scattering and fleeing.
"What’s going on, could the nine layers of Array Systems not have stopped him?"
"That path, only he could tread, how could he alone break through the Array Systems?"
"Impossible, it’s only been eight months! Except for the Blood Celestial Pole Array arranged by the Celestial Master, those were the highest level Array Systems of our Ming Ancient World!"
"Monster!"
The seven top-tier Supreme Lords flew from different directions, along with those first-rate Supreme Lords, ordinary Supreme Lords, all scattering like frightened birds, fleeing in panic.
Shi Xiaole, wielding the Cold Shadow Sword, sliced through the air like a waterfall, intercepting one of the top-tier Supreme Lords. With three strikes, he slew that Supreme Lord and also several nearby Outer Heaven Supreme Lords and many Outer Heaven experts who had no time to dodge.
Regrettably, the short time had allowed the remaining six top-tier Supreme Lords to escape.
Shi Xiaole pursued them, unleashing the "Little Tri-Union," emitting successive waves of force radially, instantly killing a large group of people. Additionally, more than a dozen of the weakest Outer Heaven Supreme Lords were successively slain by Shi Xiaole.
Fearing Shi Xiaole’s pursuit, as soon as the Limitless Sword Sovereign and others entered the Void Channel, they immediately destroyed their path behind them, causing a large number of Outer Heaven experts to be left stranded.
Shi Xiaole commenced a massive slaughter.
"Gentlemen, even the heavens could no longer stand by and watch, they’ve sent a powerful savior to lift our siege, charge, let’s slay these demons!"
The Mixed Origin Supreme Lord, the middle-aged man in yellow robes, bellowed and took the lead, dashing out of the Array System.
The warriors of Azure World surged with high spirits, as the hatred and rage pent up in their hearts turned into an overwhelming killing intent, swiftly claiming the lives of countless experts from Outer Heaven.
"Senior, may I ask for your esteemed name?"
After the battle had ended, the Mixed Origin Supreme Lord respectfully cupped his fists towards the young man in blue in the distance. He couldn’t sense Shi Xiaole’s life force and assumed him to be an old monster who remained hidden from the world.
"You are too kind, my name is Shi Xiaole, hailing from East Victory World."
Shi Xiaole said.
"What, East Victory World?"
The Mixed Origin Supreme Lord did not recognize the concept of the fifteen worlds, but after listening to Shi Xiaole’s explanation, he understood everything and once again cupped his fists, "Many thanks to Senior Shi for your magnanimous assistance in saving our Azure World!"
"We are all in the same boat, no need for such courtesy. I only hope that the remaining major worlds can form an alliance to confront Ming Ancient World together."
Shi Xiaole said.
"I will abide by Senior Shi’s command."
The Mixed Origin Supreme Lord was overjoyed. With Shi Xiaole’s leadership, how could they fear defeat at the hands of those from Outer Heaven?
And he wasn’t concerned that East Victory World would become the next Outer Heaven. If Shi Xiaole harbored such intentions, he would not have offered his help.
Without delay, Shi Xiaole entered the Life-and-Death Unfounded Cave of Azure World, which also had a Moral Mount, albeit guarded by a different challenger.
However, for Shi Xiaole, the outcome was no different, he breezed through the challenge and once again entered Ming Ancient World.
Those who fled from Outer Heaven must have been frightened, for when Shi Xiaole entered the last un-conquered Grand Wheel World, he found peace and calm.
He guessed that the Limitless Sword Sovereign and the others must have entered different worlds, concealing their whereabouts. In the vast world, if the enemies were intent on hiding, there was nothing Shi Xiaole could do.
"Why haven’t they destroyed the other Void Channels?"
A heavy suspicion suddenly arose in Shi Xiaole’s mind.
After all, by destroying them, no matter how formidable Shi Xiaole was, he would not be able to follow, and the twelve conquered worlds would remain forever in the grasp of Ming Ancient World.
While he bore these doubts, Shi Xiaole wasted no time, first dealing with the experts from Outer Heaven in Grand Wheel World, then entering one by one the twelve fallen worlds, eliminating numerous Outer Heaven elites stationed there, and leading the local resistance to reclaim sovereignty over their worlds.
"Pay homage to the Sword Emperor!"
"Long live the Sword Emperor!"
In twelve worlds, such scenes unfolded one after another, with countless people kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, gazing upon the vanishing figure in blue robes, unable to look away for a long time.
For countless years thereafter, the name of the Blue Robe Sword Emperor was passed down in all the major worlds.
Some say he’s a hidden elder who wanders the world, disdaining fame and fortune, only appearing in times of crisis. Some say he is a messenger sent by the heavens, specifically to punish evil and promote good. Yet others say he is the projection of a shattered void powerhouse...
The rumors were varied and strange, but there was one universally accepted truth: without the Blue Robe Sword Emperor, there would be no history of the major worlds that followed.
...
After settling all affairs, several years had passed. Shi Xiaole returned to East Victory World, but instead of heading to Nine Heavens Mountain, he first went to the Land of Fate.
The surge in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth signified the continuous evolution of the Land of Fate. Now, with the three bodies united, not just non-supreme beings, even Supreme Lords would find it difficult to enter.
Unfortunately, this did not include Shi Xiaole.
With his current power, even if the opening of the Land of Fate was not due, he could forcibly enter.
Heavenly Sword Peak.
Shi Xiaole looked at the branches hanging down, emanating strands of pure Supreme Sword Way power, and without hesitation, leaped upwards.
Ssss.
The calm Supreme Sword Way power turned violent suddenly, transforming into countless tornados slicing towards Shi Xiaole. The power was so great that even first-rate Supreme Lords would avoid head-on confrontation.
Shi Xiaole simply flicked his fingers, shattering the Sword Qi tornados, climbing higher. The branches grew thicker, and the surging Supreme Sword Way power became more terrifying; each whiff contained infinite swordsmanship mysteries.
If a Void Origin Realm Sword Emperor came here, they would either be sliced to pieces or die of mental disorder, for the non-spiritual mind could hardly bear these swordsmanship mysteries.
Shi Xiaole took out the Tortoise Shell of Swordsmanship, and the nine squares lit up like lanterns, suddenly brightening.
This was an object he obtained in the Hundred Flowers Celestial Domain, later said by Shi Xuanzhong to be a gift from a Supreme Lord friend who died in a great war 160,000 years ago.
Whoosh!
The sword power from above grew even stronger, nearly taking on a solid form, beyond what even ordinary top-tier Supreme Lords could endure. Shi Xiaole drew out the Cold Shadow Sword and started slashing to break through these sword forces.
In the end, he had to use the ’Immortal Gate Sword Technique’ and the divine movement skill he had comprehended. Even so, he was still sliced all over by the endless sword forces.
Depending on the Life and Death Path, Shi Xiaole still maintained high speed ascending until he reached a height of a hundred thousand meters, where not even the Life and Death Path could ensure recovery, and he finally stopped.
Looking up, Shi Xiaole faintly saw a gigantic trunk. The trunk was extremely straight, and densely packed branches grew on its surface, each branch radiating the most primal power of the Supreme Sword Way.
If these branches were disturbed, Shi Xiaole reckoned that even with his strength, he might not be able to retreat unscathed.
"This must be the Supreme Sword Way of the heavens and earth. If I can master it completely, I could become the Sword Emperor."
Shi Xiaole once thought he could become the Sword Emperor at the level of Void Origin Realm, only to find the notion laughably naive.
He suddenly remembered the Dustless Sword Emperor saying that a millennium ago, there was a madman in the East Sea who claimed to have almost mastered the Supreme Martial Way, to become the Martial Emperor, but now it seemed it was probably just nonsense from the recorders. (Chapter 1126)
