Chapter 5949 The Divine Sword’s Power
“The Dragonblood Legion is here. Anyone not of the Devil Eye Water Lily race, scram immediately. Those who stay... die!”
This cold declaration echoed like a divine edict, resonating across heaven and earth with overwhelming killing intent.
Lian Sanqiang’s heart shook. He instantly recognized it as Long Chen’s voice.
In the blink of an eye, space twisted around him, and a blurry figure silently emerged. Lian Sanqiang and the other four Sovereign Lords were all startled. What kind of power could bypass their perception and launch a sneak attack through the void?
“Die!”
Lian Sanqiang reacted instantly. As a whirlpool of spatial energy formed, he struck it with his palm, unleashing a tide of Sovereign qi. He didn’t give the mysterious figure even a breath of time to attack.
BOOM!
That figure was blown apart, but Lian Sanqiang’s expression changed.
When he withdrew his hand, blood covered his palm. Worse yet, it was crawling with fingernail-sized talismans that clung to his skin, and they were moving, climbing higher up his arm like living parasites.
He had fallen into a trap. No wonder the figure hadn’t attacked. It was bait.
“Insignificant trick!” Lian Sanqiang sneered.
Just as he began circulating his power to dispel the talismans—
Slash!
A streak of sword-light flashed, and his arm was severed at the shoulder.
“What?!”
The Sovereign Lords all cried out. What kind of Sword Qi could pierce through Sovereign qi and sever a Sovereign Lord’s arm in one clean strike? They had never encountered such terrifying sword intent.
The severed arm twisted through the void, fleeing on its own.
“Courting death!”
Enraged, Lian Sanqiang tried to snatch his severed arm back. But as he reached out, a dragon scale shield suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking him.
It was Guo Ran.
“Die!” roared Lian Sanqiang.
BOOM!
The shield exploded, and Guo Ran was sent flying, blood spraying from his mouth.
“S-So this is a Sovereign Lord’s power?!”
Even Guo Ran was stunned. His full-power defense had been shattered by a single casual blow.
But as shocked as he was, the Sovereign Lords were even more stunned. How had a mere Heaven Saint blocked an attack imbued with Sovereign qi?
At that moment, Long Chen appeared and snatched Lian Sanqiang’s severed arm, tossing it into the primal chaos space.
As soon as it vanished, Lian Sanqiang’s roar of fury shook the skies. His connection to the arm—and the Sovereign qi it contained—was completely severed.
That arm had held twenty percent of his Sovereign qi, concentrated there to defend against sneak attacks. Now it was stolen... just like that.
Most frightening of all, he tried to regrow a new arm but was shocked to sense some terrifying power on his wound, a terrifying force that even his Sovereign qi couldn’t overcome. He couldn’t regrow the arm.
“Impossible!” he roared, panic flashing in his eyes.
Just then, the azure-robed Yue Zifeng appeared.
He held his sword with both hands, pointing it toward the heavens. Sword will exploded from him, sharp enough to cut through the soul. Even the Sovereign Lords felt a stabbing pain in their hearts and instinctively retreated.
Their faces changed. This sword will wasn’t just powerful—it had already locked onto Lian Sanqiang.
How could a mere Heaven Saint suppress a Sovereign Lord?
“Wavecutter.”
Yue Zifeng’s voice was calm.
The sword slashed down, and a sharp cry echoed from the blade as the world seemed to split in two. A black crack tore through the sky, heading straight for Lian Sanqiang.
An expression of terror finally appeared on Lian Sanqiang’s face.
Death.
This sword made him feel true death. In his eyes, this fellow was even more terrifying than Long Chen.
Back then, although Long Chen managed to deal consecutive critical blows to Yan Yang, the truth was that Yan Yang had been heavily wounded by Liu Changtian. Even then, Long Chen had only managed to erode Yan Yang’s Sovereign qi bit by bit.
In contrast, Yue Zifeng’s sword was something that ignored all laws, all defenses. It could kill Lian Sanqiang.
With a roar, Lian Sanqiang summoned his divine weapon—a black lily glowing with bloody light.
The Sovereign Blood Black Lily.
He had previously used a different weapon against Liu Xihua, but that weapon was exhausted after that battle and needed to recuperate. This lily was his innate divine weapon—something he rarely brought out.
BOOM!
The world exploded.
Sword Qi ripped through the sky. Space twisted, collapsed, and then shattered entirely. An invisible sword will surged forth.
Lian Sanqiang let out a miserable screech. Only now did he realize Yue Zifeng’s attack had a second layer—it didn’t just target his body but also struck his soul.
In one strike, the sword split the Sovereign Blood Black Lily open and wounded Lian Sanqiang’s soul.
The other Sovereign Lords also cried out, clutching their heads. That sword had pierced their souls as well.
Then—
Millions upon millions of Demon Emperors fell from the sky, their souls extinguished instantly.
All four Sovereign Lords were terrified, gazing at Yue Zifeng who was standing in the air. How could his sword will be this terrifying? Just who was he?
Hovering in the air, Yue Zifeng trembled. His skin was deathly pale, and his hand shook uncontrollably as he held his sword.
“The Divine Sword... its power is monstrous. But... I still can’t fully control it,” he muttered.
Even Yue Zifeng was shocked. This was the first time he had drawn upon the full power of the Divine Sword—and he had paid the price. His body and soul were both wounded.
Yue Zifeng was also shocked. This was his first time unleashing the power of the Divine Sword. He himself also received a heavy wound. But still... he smiled.
He had touched the edge of true sword will. And with that, his cultivation had taken a leap forward.
“YOU LITTLE BASTARD!!”
Lian Sanqiang’s roar was like that of a wounded beast. He had gone completely mad.
The sword attack had left no openings, covering the entire land. Even the Devil Eye Water Lily race’s heavenly geniuses hidden in an underground palace were wiped out.
It was a sword of absolute death, merciless.
With his eyes crimson and igniting Sovereign qi, Lian Sanqiang charged at Yue Zifeng. He had truly gone crazy.
BOOM!
All of a sudden, a giant figure appeared in front of Lian Sanqiang, its mix of devil qi and Sovereign qi terrifying. Then, a giant fist, wrapped in apocalyptic force, smashed toward Lian Sanqiang.
