So what if Long Zhanguo had severely injured the Six Paths Veritable Lord? The world’s strongest was still the world’s strongest.
Even when fighting three experts alone, the Six Paths Veritable Lord still held the upper hand. The wound on his chest healed slowly. Of course, that was just superficial healing—the bleeding stopped and flesh grew. It would take a long time to recover fully from that injury.
Boom!
After exchanging palm strikes with the Six Paths Veritable Lord, Sect Master Supreme Ascendant rebounded more than three hundred meters.
Suddenly, a powerful energy shock wave came from the distant Gu Hai.
“Huh?” Everyone turned their head and looked.
Many spirit stones quickly drained around Gu Hai, and the surging energy rushed to his body. His aura flourished.
“Oh? Even in death, Long Zhanguo continues to cause trouble? He used his peak energy to help stimulate Gu Hai’s mortal soul?” The Six Paths Veritable Lord’s face sank.
The Six Paths Veritable Lord’s expression changed, as he suddenly recalled that Gu Hai’s mortal soul was one hundred sixty-three meters tall. Many people from eight hundred thousand years later knew this.
Isn’t one hundred sixty-three meters tall a perfect mortal soul?
“Humph! It is too early for you to deal with me!” The Six Paths Veritable Lord’s expression turned cold as he stepped forward to charge at Gu Hai.
“Stop him!” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant said coldly.
“Severing Sword!” the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access roared furiously as he swung his sword.
Rumble…!
“Humph! How troublesome!” The Six Paths Veritable Lord’s expression turned cold as he threw a palm strike.
Boom!
The Four Immortal Executioner Swords Ritual Array shook. The powerful Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array was no match for the Six Paths Veritable Lord.
“Stop the Six Paths Veritable Lord! Don’t let up your attacks!” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant roared.
The Taiji diagram spun even faster, the twisting force of the Yin and Yang pulling on the Six Paths Veritable Lord as the three continuously attacked.
However, the Six Paths Veritable Lord kept knocking the three back. They were already considered extremely strong in this world. However, they were still weaker than the Six Paths Veritable Lord.
“The Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array? It’s only so-so. Metal Deity Body, lend me the holy sword!” the Six Paths Veritable Lord shouted coldly.
As the Six Paths Veritable Lord shouted, he knocked back Sect Master Supreme Ascendant and the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access with his left palm. Simultaneously, he held his right arm straight like a sword.
Shing!
An unparalleled sword conception immediately manifested in the air and turned into an enormous, dazzling, white sword that shot straight at the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access.
Boom!
When the white sword conception appeared, a dazzling white light rushed out into the universe and instantly chopped apart the sword qi from the two Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Arrays.
They were chopped apart, not merely broken. The Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array represented the pinnacle of the sword Dao. However, that sword conception was not even worth a strike before the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s holy sword.
Boom!
The Four Immortal Executioner Swords Ritual Array and the Seven Immortal Executioner Swords Ritual Arrays exploded.
Even with the Taiji diagram pulling on him, the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s holy sword still displayed overwhelming power as it swung at the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access.
“That’s impossible! Of all the sword Dao in the world, mine stands at the peak!” the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access roared ferociously.
To the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access, no one could surpass him in sword Dao—not even the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access. The Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access represented him in another immortal firmament, a copy of himself. At best, they were equal. Even so, that would still be first. No one could surpass him.
However, the Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array could not even put up a fight against this holy sword. No, even two Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Arrays could not rival the holy sword.
The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access refused to accept it. With a savage expression, he attacked with all his might.
“Break!” the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access roared ferociously.
“Humph!” The Six Paths Veritable Lord showed a fierce scowl. He felt extremely confident in his holy sword.
Boom!
The holy sword and the Immortal Executioner Sword clashed again. This time, the spatial tears in the surroundings took the shape of swords, spreading out in all directions.
Boom!
The sword-shaped spatial tears exploded countless stars.
When the two swords clashed, the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access showed a horrified expression when he saw an unprecedented and unrivaled sharpness in the holy sword.
“That’s impossible!” Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access exclaimed.
“The holy sword is a mental sword forged by my metal deity body. If my heart is unrivaled, my sword will be unrivaled. There is no one I cannot kill, nothing I cannot cut. Break!” the Six Paths Veritable Lord roared ferociously.
Boom!
The Immortal Executioner Sword cracked. It was not just the Immortal Executioner Sword; the Immortal Trapper Sword, the Immortal Ender Sword, and the Immortal Killer Sword exploded simultaneously.
The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access’s Severing Sword did not simply use one sword but merged in the Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array, combining the power of four swords. This could be called his strongest sword strike, but it could not match the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s holy sword.
The power of the holy sword was tremendous.
Although the holy sword had lost most of its force after breaking the Four Immortal Executioner Swords, it remained incredibly powerful as it continued towards the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access.
The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access had just used his full power. How could he have the strength to resist?
“Die!” the Six Paths Veritable Lord roared with a malevolent expression, wanting to chop down the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access.
“Eighth Cycle!” A loud shout rang out near the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access.
Countless saber qi appeared out of nowhere and coalesced into a large manifested saber that tore through space, heading for the holy sword.
Boom!
A thunderous report rang out. The shock waves knocked the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access fifty kilometers away.
Blargh! The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access spewed a mouthful of blood.
However, the purple manifested saber managed to knock back the holy sword. No victor emerged from this clash.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai went over to the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access.
“Sect Master Heavenly Access, are you alright?” Gu Hai asked worriedly.
“Hah! Hahahaha! The Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array, the strongest sword Dao in the world?” The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access showed a bitter smile.
The injuries to his body were nothing much. The mental damage was the worst. He had always believed his sword Dao was the strongest in the world. Now, that seemed laughable. How funny was it?
That earlier clash not only injured him but also broke his unrivaled sword heart.
It was not just the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access. The distant Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access’s expression changed as well.
The Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access knew how powerful the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access was. Their sword Dao were on par with each other. However, the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access’s full-powered strike could not compare to the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s sword Dao? This also dealt a massive mental blow to him.
“The holy sword is too strong. I cannot defeat it!” the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access said bitterly.
The Four Immortal Executioner Swords exploded, and his sword heart crumbled. The shock had made his hands bleed, and he felt immense sorrow in his heart.
Gu Hai could see the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access’s pain. He took a deep breath and asked, “Sect Master Heavenly Access, although you have done your best, was the earlier sword Dao your everything?”
“What did you say?” The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access looked at Gu Hai.
“If your sword cannot compare to others, just forge a new one. Why grieve over it? This is not in your—Sect Master Heavenly Access’s—character!” Gu Hai shouted.
“However, my Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array is already at the peak. The earlier sword strike was already the best. I cannot go any further!” the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access said in pain.
“The peak? Then, why is the holy sword stronger?” Gu Hai said.
The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access’s pupils constricted. Then, he suddenly showed a stern expression.
“Indeed, the holy sword is stronger. That only means my sword Dao is wrong. I can still grow stronger. I just need to find where I went wrong and fix my sword Dao. I will not hesitate! The strongest sword Dao can only be mine—Heavenly Access’s!” the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access immediately said fiercely.
The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access’s pride rekindled.
Far away, the Six Paths Veritable Lord looked coldly at Gu Hai.
Gu Hai’s earlier saber strike blocked my holy sword? Even if only a small portion of the force was left, it should not be what he could block.
“Eighth Cycle? Humph! Gu Hai, you truly continuously grow stronger!” the Six Paths Veritable Lord said coldly.
“Holy sword? You borrowed it from your metal deity body, right? That is the metal physical soul of your seven physical souls, right? You borrowed the power of the earlier eyes from the deity king body; that should be the Spiritual Progenitor physical soul of your dantian, right? I feel curious. Of the three spiritual souls and seven physical souls, which one are you?” Gu Hai said coldly.
As Gu Hai spoke, he swung the Life Executioner Saber in his hands again.
When he executed the Eighth Cycle, a gigantic manifested saber appeared in the air and flew at the Six Paths Veritable Lord.
Boom!
The sword and the saber clashed, and the impact knocked Gu Hai back.
“Attack!” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant shouted.
The Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access and the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access attacked together.
The Six Paths Veritable Lord held his holy sword and sent out many dazzling sword qi.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Millions of sword qi flew out, exploding the surrounding stars. The Seven Immortal Executioner Swords Ritual Array’s sword qi could not last even a strike; the Seven Immortal Executioner Swords could only barely resist.
Sect Master Supreme Ascendant waved his hand, and the calabash at his waist flew out. Surging flames gushed out, melting the countless surrounding sword qi.
Gu Hai executed the Eighth Cycle repeatedly, destroying the sword qi. However, the holy sword blocked it every time.
“Eighth Cycle? It is powerful. Unfortunately, it is only so-so. I am not the metal deity body. The metal deity body is the strongest at wielding the holy sword. However, you already fail to compare to me. Holy sword, chop!” the Six Paths Veritable Lord snarled.
“Your holy sword is not at its peak? Haha! My Eight Cycle is not the peak, either. Ninth Cycle!” Gu Hai glared as he swung his saber.
Rumble…!
Gu Hai’s body gave off loud sounds. This saber strike placed an enormous burden on him, many lacerations appearing on his back.
Ninth Cycle? After spending more than two hundred million years in the eighteenth layer of hell, Gu Hai had not reached just the Eighth Cycle but also the Ninth Cycle. Now, only ten Go boards remained in his forehead space.
He could only execute the Ninth Cycle when his mortal soul monopolized his body. The power of his saber strike increased a hundredfold, its might soaring.
A titanic manifested saber extended across the galaxy and swung towards the holy sword.
Boom!
When the sword and the saber clashed, the galaxy seemed to collapse under the manifested saber. All the stars in the galaxy exploded.
The combined power from the mortal soul monopolizing the body and the Ninth Cycle forcefully suppressed the holy sword.
At this instant, Gu Hai’s saber strike dominated the purple heavens.
The Six Paths Veritable Lord, the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access, the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access, and Sect Master Supreme Ascendant goggled.
When Gu Hai’s saber strike landed, it pushed back the holy sword and knocked back the Six Paths Veritable Lord. The powerful saber conception also gashed the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s shoulder. Blood sprayed everywhere. It looked like the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s entire right arm would be torn off.
“That’s impossible!” the distant Supreme Singularity exclaimed.
Gu Hai is this strong? Able to suppress the Six Paths Veritable Lord in force?
“What a strong mortal soul body! You are indeed trouble!” the Six Paths Veritable Lord exclaimed in horror, showing a ferocious expression.
Gu Hai appeared horrified. “Despite being severely injured, you still can block my saber strike?”
Gu Hai had torn his body as the price to execute the Ninth Cycle, sustaining severe damage to attack. He could not execute the Ninth Cycle too many more times. However, the Six Paths Veritable Lord seemed fine, apart from having a part of his right arm torn off.
