Chapter 635: The Sea of Swords (2)

Millions of rays of light rained down, filling the sky so densely that even the radiance in the heavens was obscured.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the radiant rain transformed into thousands of blades of slaughter, each blade’s river of stars vanishing into oblivion.

However, on each weapon, the light of the supreme star weapons of the highest level was shining.

Someone roared, “These are all supreme star weapons of the Ten Thousand Sovereigns’ power!”

“No, that’s impossible. How could he have forged a Supreme Star Artifact with the power of ten million swords and ten thousand sovereigns?”

Amidst the startled cries of the crowd, thousands of rays of light burst forth once again.

The hearts of the three kings trembled, and they couldn’t help but look toward the radiant rain in the sky.

A vast expanse of light rain, stretching ten thousand zhang wide, hovered in the void. So dense were these rays that they formed a cloud of light, completely blocking out all illumination from above.

Each droplet of light rain emitted a resounding chime, like the blade of a real sword.

This time, before the light rain could transform into sharp blades, it had already spread out completely.

The radiant clouds transformed into a vast sea of light floating in the air.

Liu Quan’s face turned as pale as chalk. Seeing such a vast expanse of light, his entire body trembled.

The boundless sea transforms into a sharp sword.

Billions, a full billion swords, took shape in the air.

The sword’s clang resounded like thunder bursting across the heavens, shattering the sky and crumbling the peak of a mountain.

These one billion sharp swords, each one possesses nearly three thousand units of power.

The sword clouds formed from the mighty swords densely covered the void spanning fifty thousand zhang.

Above everyone’s head were swords, and wherever they looked, all they could see were swords.

Ten billion sword blades floated in the sky like an ocean.

“Bang!”

Lu Yu snapped his fingers.

Boom… Boom…

Jian Yun moved, instantly transforming into a torrential rain resembling a cascading galaxy, rushing down upon an area of land spanning fifty thousand zhang.

“Roar, roar…”

Simultaneously, numerous fiery dragons emerged, each stretching ten zhang in length. Forming amidst the sword clouds, they swiftly engulfed the entire area.

In an instant, the attack range of fifty thousand zhang expanded to over one hundred thousand zhang wide due to the appearance of the fire dragon.

The Blood King’s gaze froze, and his hands clenched tightly into fists.

Liu Quan collapsed to the ground, as if the apocalypse had arrived, his eyes fixed on the sky with terror.

Jianyun and Huolong landed. The sword split mountains one by one, while the fire dragon shattered boulders into pieces.

The heavens and earth were engulfed in flames and explosions.

Even on the day when the apocalypse descended, they had never witnessed such a terrifying scene.

Such a strike would be enough to destroy several cities in one blow, as its coverage area is too vast.

Destruction, destruction!

It was like a meteor shower falling from the sky, destroying everything in its path upon impact.

Mountains have been flattened, the land transformed into basins, rivers severed, and deep gorges filled in!

In the brief span of five seconds, the world fell silent.

In the eyes of everyone, the Wild Wolf Mountains no longer existed; before them stretched a desolate expanse of land, completely open and without the slightest cover.

In an area spanning dozens of miles in every direction, there was not a single breath of life; all living beings had perished.

Dust and smoke billowed up. One by one, the half-collapsed mountains had already shattered, with countless boulders rolling down.

Liu Quan felt weak all over and realized he didn’t even have the strength to stand up.

Liu Quan refused to accept it, saying, “Impossible! This can’t be! You’re just a human who hasn’t become a king—how can you possess such terrifying destructive power?”

He really couldn’t accept it.

Judging solely by destructive power, Lu Yu’s strike was in no way inferior to the Blood King’s.

At this moment, countless beams of light rose from the ground into the air, beginning to re-coalesce. Gradually, they transformed into thousands of blades of slaughter and once again merged into Lu Yu’s body.

Even the Blood King felt a chill down his spine.

What exactly is contained within Lu Yu’s body? Ten billion powerful star weapons are all housed inside him.

Bai Yang was overjoyed, unable to contain his excitement, he clenched his right fist and swung it heavily.

Liu Jin was overwhelmed with excitement and became even more determined.

Liu Dahai and the old man could only swallow hard, completely stunned by the destructive power of that single strike.

This terrifying blow was delivered without any suppression.

Lu Yu landed on the ground, looked around, and said with satisfaction, “Blood Tyrant, how was that strike?”

“Very well,” said the Blood King.

Such a compliment from a king is already an extremely high praise.

“Who won?” Lu Yu looked at Liu Dahai and the old man.

These two can be considered witnesses as well as referees.

How to rule is their responsibility.

“O-of course we won,” Liu Quan stammered, his voice trembling. “The Blood Heaven King’s attack pierced through hundreds of thousands of zhang, while Lu Yu’s attack only reached a radius of dozens of ten-thousands of zhang. Just in terms of range, it’s no match.”

Bai Yang snorted coldly, “If that’s the case, are you saying that the vast area destroyed by Lu Yu isn’t even comparable to that single line of destruction left by the Blood Sky King?”

The Blood Tyrant coldly snorted and said, “It’s useless for you to argue. You two shall decide this battle.”

As he spoke, Blood Sky King turned his gaze toward Liu Dahai and the old man.

Liu Dahai and the old man glanced around, then whispered together for a moment.

Liu Dahai raised his head, coughed once, and said, “Speaking solely in terms of attack range, the Blood Heaven King indeed surpasses Lu Yu. A distance of five hundred thousand zhang would probably span a third of China on Earth.”

The Blood Sky King nodded his head, clearly satisfied with what the old man had said.

The elder interjected, “However, when it comes to destructive power and radius of destruction, Lu Yu’s is stronger. Both have their strengths and weaknesses regarding area attacks, so it’s difficult for us to choose between them. Therefore, this match can be considered a draw.”

“Okay.” Lu Yu had no objection.

“I’m very dissatisfied with this outcome. However, speaking solely about Lu Yu’s ability in that one strike, I’m truly astonished. Since it’s a draw, I can reluctantly accept it,” the Blood King replied solemnly.

He said so.

But the shock within his heart was indescribable.

If he were to launch this Heaven-ordained strike of his blood, someone might still be able to dodge or resist it.

However, Lu Yu’s attack was completely indiscriminate. Once caught in its range, the chance of survival would likely be zero.

When it comes to destructive power, even the Blood Heaven King has to admit defeat.

This is still before Lu Yu became a king and before he acquired the king’s skills.

If he continues to grow and combines these star soldiers with the King’s skills, then in a future match, he would have no chance of winning.

Therefore, he essentially lost this battle.

But the Blood Heaven King was unwilling to admit it.

Meanwhile, Liu Dahai and the elder had obviously left a bit of face for the Blood Tyrant, causing the Blood Tyrant to immediately develop some favor towards the two elders.

Liu Quan sighed in relief.

Liu Jing also let his shoulders slump slightly, a smile appearing on his face.

A draw, which means they both still have a chance.

Xinghun Wang stepped forward and glared at Flash Thunder King, his voice low and menacing: “Lord Flash Thunder King, should it now be our turn to take action?”

“Do you not think we two should save this battle for last?” Thunder King looked at Star Soul King and said, “After witnessing Lu Yu’s and Blood King’s match, would you still be able to create the same impact if you fight now? Would you still be able to give it your all?”

King Star Soul hesitated for a moment and said, “Very well. Then let the two of us save our match for last, and bring this battle to a perfect conclusion.”

Thunder King said, “Then for the next battle, let two warriors who possess the power of Ten Thousand Sovereigns face off.”

The elder and Liu Dahai nodded, then each selected one warrior from their respective groups of ten-thousand experts through a lottery draw.

These two individuals were also formidable experts within the military, their strength slightly surpassing that of ordinary warriors at the same level.

This battle lasted nearly three hours, and in the end, Liu Quan’s side emerged victorious.

Liu Quan burst into laughter, clearly delighted with the outcome.

Meanwhile, Liu Jing ran to the defeated opponent’s side to comfort him, personally bandaging the soldier’s wounds.

This deeply moved the soldier, whose eyes turned slightly red.

This scene was witnessed by many people, who secretly nodded in their hearts.

Liu Jin’s actions were sincere, which could be seen from his demeanor and expressions, without the slightest pretense.

“The next round will be a contest of wisdom!” Liu Dahai selected one item from those chosen by Liu Quan and Liu Jin.

Liu Quan immediately puffed out his chest and took a confident step forward, chuckling, “Brother, I’m sure your wisdom can’t match mine. You’ve lost again in this round.”

Liu stood still without moving and said, “Yes, I admit that I’m not as wise as you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had to endure in silence all this time. Therefore, I never intended to win this round. You’ve won.”

Liu Jin spoke very modestly.

“Haha.” Liu Quan became even more arrogant and laughed loudly, “That’s right, that’s right. You have a good sense of self-awareness. It seems that although you’re not as smart as me, you’re not completely foolish either.”

Every victory brings me one step closer to the position of the head of the Liu family.

Once gaining the support of the Southern Army, he would have the opportunity to sit equally with those few individuals from the city.

Liu Dahai and the old man didn’t expect Liu Jin to admit defeat so easily, both were taken aback.

Liu Dahai quickly regained his composure and said, “The next match will be a contest of strength. Both sides will step forward, and the fight will end when one side falls or concedes. However, since you two are brothers, no weapons will be allowed in this match—it will be a pure test of physical strength.”

“I won this match as well,” Liu Quan said with a laugh, exuding boundless confidence.

He sneered and said, “Over a year ago, I could chase you to the ends of the earth. Even now, I can still defeat you.”

Liu Jin smiled shyly, as if slightly embarrassed.

Suddenly, the smile on Liu Jin’s face froze, and then he vanished.

Bang!

Liu Quan felt a fist heavily strike his mouth, causing blood to spurt from his nose and mouth, and his skull felt as if it were about to crack open.

Liu Quan flew backward, landing like a dead dog, rolling far away before finally getting up.

“You—this can’t be,” Liu Quan said in shock, staring at Liu Jin. He hadn’t even seen the punch Liu Jin had thrown.

“Brother, I chose my strongest aspect. I admit that I’m not as smart as you, but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid. I don’t have your advantages, but I do have endurance, and I’m willing to endure hardship. For over a year, I’ve been working extremely hard to improve my strength.”

Faint traces of demonic energy seeped from Liu Jin, as if a seal had been broken. It was only then that everyone sensed the immense power emanating from him.

From ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand.

Four thousand statues!

Moreover, it’s also the Hundred Refinements Demon Body!

Baiyang burst out laughing at the side, looking very pleased with himself.

The power sealed within Liu Jin had actually escaped the notice of Lu Yu and even several kings.

This is indeed the method of their Celestial Deity Organization.

Liu had been enduring in silence until now; this outburst surprised everyone present.

Liu Quan was even more confused.

It’s been over a year since they last met—how on earth did Liu Jin become so strong!

“Brother, if you don’t admit defeat this time, get up and fight me,” Liu Jin said. His expression had changed, and so had his demeanor.

He resembled a warrior who had experienced life and death; the indomitable military spirit unique to soldiers stirred faintly within him.

Lu Yu nodded with a smile, “Good kid, it’s been over a year since we last met, and your growth has truly surprised me. At four thousand zuns, your progress in strength has been quick enough. Bai Yang, was this your doing?”

“The Celestial organization may not have many other things, but they certainly have their share of secret methods,” Bai Yang laughed loudly. “Since we are supporting Liu Jin, we will naturally support him with all our strength.”

“Such methods… we’ll talk about this after it’s over,” Lu Yu said, looking at Bai Yang.

Just over a year ago, Liu wasn’t even a Star Lord yet, and within a single year he became a Supreme with a strength of 4,000 zuns—such a feat is simply too extraordinary.

Lu Yu believes that if he acquires such a method, Fang Gang’s strength will become even stronger.
