Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Novel

Chapter 922 Immortal Sovereign's Might

Although the four spent 45 years in the court, only a day passed outside. Wang Wei did not want their discussions to affect the political situation in the world, so he used his Time Dao to change the rate of time outside and in the court.

As such, a day later, Feng Heng, Ao Shen, and Huo Fenghuang left the court and returned to their factions–at least, they tried. Huo Fenghuang teleported to the moon, which is the entrance to the Ancient Clan's Small World.

However, a visitor was waiting for her—an elderly man dressed in all black slowly caressing an all-white sword while sitting cross-legged on a moon rock. A sharp aura naturally emanated from the man's body. If a mortal looked at him, their eyes would bleed like a sharp object pierced their pupils.

"You're from the Sword Casting Villa?" asked Huo Fenghuang.

"That's correct."

"Haven't you people given up already?"

"The Ancient Clan do not have the right or power to monopolize all the God Positions in the Eastern Continent,' said Jian Sha.

"But you guys get to control an entire region of the sea?"

"You and I both know the sea is not as valuable as any of the continents. Furthermore, our territory does not house too many powerful Emperor Lineages–unlike yours," calmly responded Jian Sha without stopping to caress his swords; it was as if he had not seen or touched it for a long time and was very nostalgic about it.

"All I'm hearing are excuses and rhetorics," snorted Huo Fenghuang.

"This conversation is pointless. You and I are only pawns on this chessboard, but it seems your Ancient Clan has offended the chess player."

Huo Fenghuang's pupil squinted, "Yes, our battle is inevitable." She took out her White Tiger Killing Sword, releasing a terrifying killing intent.

"Such a beautiful and powerful sword is wasted on a Sword User like yourself," said Jian Sha as he stood up, releasing a killing intent as pure as his opponent.

"The obsession you people have over the purity of the sword is disgusting and unsavory," replied Huo Fenghuang.

"You wouldn't understand," replied Jian Sha, shaking his head. "However, what should I expect from people who only see the sword as nothing but a tool?"

His aura changed, becoming more ethereal and elusive; he resembled a supreme immortal swordsman who had slaughtered Gods, Demons, Buddhas, and Great Emperors. Jian Sha mobilized an immense amount of Immortal Qi before rushing forward. In an instant, he appeared before her and slashed his sword downward.

Clink!

Huo Fenghuang blocked the attack, but her pupil squinted. She discovered a vast energy that offset her Killing Heaven Law.

Clink! Clink! Clink!

Jian Sha released a barrage of sword strikes, each faster and more potent than the previous one. In an instant, their swords clashed thousands of times. Then, Huo Fenghuang suddenly felt something was wrong as her intuition warned her of danger.

So, she used her Yin-Yang Dao to control push and pull. A powerful force manifested out of nowhere, pushing Jian Sha a hundred meters away.

Push!

Thousands of sword marks appeared on Huo Fenghuang's body, destroying her clothes and revealing her jade-like skin. She was calm throughout the process, not showing an ounce of pain.

"The Undefendable Sword Art?" she asked as her body naturally healed. However, not all the sword marks disappeared.

"You're quite knowledgeable, little girl," said Jian Sha. The Undefendable Sword Art was an ancient technique that existed before the Null Era. No one knows who created it, but this technique was famous because it was often used to deal with non-Emperors.

The technique was extremely difficult to block, so Immortal Venerables and Dao Ancestors would use it against their own kind, inflicting heavy injuries on their opponent; the idea of this technique is to take advantage of the fact the other paths do not have the healing factors of the Emperor Path.

Huo Fenghuang secretly sneered after figuring out the opponent's tactic. Although she did not have the unnatural healing factors of Eternal Emperors, she had the Phoenix Bloodline to make up for it. So, she only needed to be on guard for the opponent's other tricks and schemes.

After her body naturally regenerated, Huo Fenghuang prepared to go on the offensive. However, before either acted, a voice echoed in their surrounding:

"Could you guys fight someone else? I don't want your battle to destroy the moon."

"The Moon God?" said Huo Fenghuang.

"Yes, and your battle can affect my domain. So, please fight someone else."

Huo Fenghuang and Jian Sha looked at each other before disappearing. They appeared near the world's barrier to ensure their battles did not affect other people.

[Immortal Lotus Step]

Jian Sha used a spell that increased speed. In an instant, he appeared before his opponent, leaving numerous lotus shining with immortal lights in his thrall.

Clink! Clink! Clink!

His sword clashed with Huo Fenghuang. However, he discovered she did not hesitate to fight him head-on despite knowing about the Undefendable Sword Art. Soon, he knew why.

His sword technique failed. A subtle white and black shield appeared around her body, blocking the attack.

"Are you surprised?" asked Huo Fenghuang. "This technique is ingenious, using cause and effect to ignore any defenses. However, as long as I can block the karmic connection between me and you, it's easy to defend against it."

"The sect master warned me about you, telling me I should not treat you lightly because you're a member of a terrifying generation. I should have listened to him," sighed Jian Sha.

"You should have listened to him," she said with a sneer.

[killing Sword]

She slashed her sword and manifested a terrifying white tiger that rushed toward Jian Sha. The latter tried to use his speed spell to evade, but he soon realized he was caught in a trap. Yin-Yang was reversed, so up was now down, left was now right, and moving was now stopping.

When he thought to move, he was actually telling his body to stop. Jian Sha's mind was fast, and he quickly figured out the ins and outs of this technique, so he told his body not to defend, which, in fact, generated a protective field around him.

Unfortunately, the sword slash bypassed his defense and entered his body, heading directly into his Immortal Mansion.

"Is that your plan? To kill my Immortal Mansion and render me useless? Unfortunately." Jian Sha released a terrifying energy fluctuation that broke Huo Fenghuang's Yin-Yang Technique.

"Your Immortal Qi…," muttered Huo Fenghuang with a frown, but Jian Sha did not explain.

It's a hundred times harder for Insurgent Immortal Venerables to cultivate to the Immortal Sovereign Realm, so Emperor Lineages will only choose regular Immortal Venerables with normal Immortal Qi to cultivate to Tier 11.

However, after becoming an Immortal Sovereign, Jian Sha was lucky to discover a unique Qi in the Source Qi Space. The Killing Qi perfectly fused with his Immortal Qi, granting a unique attribute.

The Qi was not enough for him to become a Tier 11 Insurgent, but it did drastically increase his battle prowess among his peers. His strength was one of the reasons he was not injured and was sealed by Heavenly Dao.

"Little girl, I admit I've underestimated you. However, I have survived countless eras and too many Eternal Emperors, some I don't even remember. So, today, no matter what, you will be defeated and forced to hand over the God Positions."

"Old geezer, you have too much nonsense coming out of your mouth."

"*Sigh* The world is truly unfair. If this was the upper dimension, why would I care about a mere Primarch?"

Huo Fenghuang wanted to tell him it was his fault for choosing such a rubbish path. However, she was smart enough to know countless people were watching this battle, and if she said these words, she would offend every Immortal Path cultivator in the Myriad Emperor World.

So, she decided to go on the offensive by summoning a colossal phoenix composed entirely of beautiful blue flame. However, Jian Sha's response was calm as he only said one word: "Kill."

The character for [killing] manifested in the sky with a bright red color. Then, without hesitation, he slashed his sword. A white light enveloped the world as a terrifying sword energy emanated from the sword.

Subsequently, the Flame Phoenix instantly turned into trillions of perfectly cut pieces.

"Kill," said Jian Sha, manifesting the second character. He slashed his sword a second time, condensing a massive amount of Immortal Killing Qi. Huo Fenghuang raised her hand to summon her Killing Heaven Law. Her palm easily absorbs the technique, even using it as nourishment.

Jian Sha frowned briefly before two more killing characters manifested between Heaven and Earth. His aura rose drastically as the space around him twisted without much effort.

So far, he has used four killing characters in his [7 Killing Sword Art]. He was confident in his sword but knew not to underestimate his enemy. A brilliant sword energy that was as vast as countless galaxies descended on Huo Fenghuang to eradicate her from the world.
