Jin Rou swung his saber. It was just a normal saber which had no terrifying origins or whatsoever. It was made by the most normal materials possible, "I'll show you what is an apex saber dao is."
Han Li had lived through many epochs and eras. He had seen the rise and fall of many behemoths and the appearance of the brilliant geniuses, be it here in Nine Heavens or the other realm. Thus, he also learned and created many dao laws.
And the saber dao he was showing was one of his greatest masterpieces of all time, a shining diamond of all ages.
The saber in his hands took the form of a phoenix. It made a screeching sound as Jin Rou's surroundings turned blurry and appeared to be in slow motion.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three explosions happened around Jin Rou which alleviated the power of the phoenix. His eyes turned sharp as he slashed the saber with a force that could end the Nine Heavens.
"Open!" Alion couldn't just sit there, doing nothing. He activated his grand and heavenly treasures to defend from the attack.
"Bang! Bang!" The treasures absorbed the attack but the effects were too much to take, making everyone in the vicinity back off. Thousand energies flowed and circulated the deity.
"Ultimate Saber Law, first form. Slashing The Heaven's Fury!" Jin Rou stated the name of the attack. Then, the saber energy which circulated Alion became resplendent thorns and came crushing down towards him.
Alion bent his knees and held his saber firmly. He wanted to escape but the saber energy just gave him a tiny and limited space, thus he could only confront it head on, "Breaking Saber!"
Breaking Saber was a strong saber dao law which Alion had painstakingly created. He revised and modified this law for several times before he was satisfied of the result.
A slash to end time. It was the adage why Alion created this dao law.
"Useless resistance." Jin Rou smirked. The thorns from his saber energy was ravaging the slash created by Alion. It might have the power to severe time, truly. But unfortunately, he was faced off against Han Li, someone that held the time by his will.
"Grug!" Alion spurted blood as he was pierced by two thorns. It had stabled him thoroughly that his blood flowed like a river.
He lost. In just a few exchange, he lost like that. Han Li was an insurmountable wall that many deities couldn't overcome. He might be a genius and powerful, but compared to Han Li who was an old monster fighting the old man for trillions of years, he appeared like a joke for thinking of killing such existence in Glory Sky.
"I admire your courage for actually thinking you can kill me." Jin Rou said. It was already over, so he didn't move again.
"I never thought about defeating you." Alion knelt. He felt his legs giving in now because of the blood loss. Nevertheless, his face was still expressionless as ever, "However, if you really come back to that place, you will really die for sure. We can't kill you, sure. But the old man has made more than two epochs preparation to kill you once and for all."
"Oh? Interesting." Jin Rou chuckled. There's no reason for Alion to lie. And judging by the old man's personality, there's a high chance he'd really do this. Remember, the old man was greatly injured from the last challenge. He couldn't afford to be careless.
He paused for a moment before resuming, "I will settler everything once and for all. Since this is my last attempt to kill him, I might as well prepare gifts worthy of two epochs too."
Everyone who heard this gulped. A preparation worthy of two epochs was terrifying. Just think about it, an epoch had several eras and hundreds to thousands of generations. It's a long time before an epoch to be closed, yet Han Li would prepare amounting to that? It's terrifying and the Nine Heavens might be affected once it happened.
"Why do you keep opposing us?" Alion was getting weaker and his eyes were turning blurry but he still asked. If Han Li were to say that he's on the same side as theirs, the old man would be more than happy to keep him and nurture him more. But instead of this, Han Li kept on challenging them, trying to kill the old man, "Do you want his position?"
"Position?" Jin Rou chuckled, "Those old people might have that kind of thought, but I don't. What's the use of that position? I'm doing this because I need something else."
Alion wanted to ask what that was, however his body couldn't take the damage anymore as he slowly turned into dust. Unable to speak, he just looked at Han Li with emotions he couldn't describe.
Eventually, Alion, who was once an existence who looked down in all ages, had died.
Everyone was the same in the face of death. No matter how long one lived, they would still die no matter what. Life and death was part of nature and it's inevitable.
"Prepare, everyone." Jin Rou suddenly said, waking his people from their trance, "A new era will opened by me."
Fog looked closely, he was feeling excited for some reason. Raina was also the same, thinking that she would see another miracle from the young master.
Jin Rou walked where Alion had died. He then closed his eyes and lifted his arms. Then, thousands of runes flowed from his arms going up to the sky. The runes were dancing in the air as they lit up the entire gloomy sky.
"Boom!" A heavenly chain appeared. It was so big that it encompassed the entire sky. Soon, the chain slowly revealed cracks as Jin Rou spoke, "Just a mere heavenly chain, yet you think this will be enough to constrain the Nine Heavens? Foolish old man."
Afterwards, the chain broke into pieces, and the sky released light energy to the world.
By the middle, there was something. A thing that was absorbing energy from the world, it was a circulating energy in a shape of a scroll.
Everyone in the Nine Heavens had seen this and when they did, they knelt down as they said, "The Nine Heavens Will!"
