Chapter 1085: Looking at Each Other Across the Sky

In this sigh, there was some regret, some emotion, and some envy.

But very soon, he realized that his thoughts were not right. After all... they were once his enemy.

He must not be envious of his enemy.

"It's fine to die, but you have to die twice."

Yu Liuchen snorted coldly, retracting his gaze from the horizon.

"However, in this era where True Gods are rare and Divine Lords are asleep, your story is about to come to an end, and my story... is about to begin."

At this moment, the eastern sky of the Wanggu continent was empty.

Three of the four mystic Holy Lands that were floating there had collapsed under the sword of Swordsage Great Emperor.

The remaining Demon Feather Holy Land was also given to the Empress by Swordsage Great Emperor.

Only Demon Feather Emperor had escaped without a trace.

Then, Swordsage Great Emperor strode toward the south of the sky.

The Empress and Xu Qing followed behind.

Originally, the distance between them seemed to be endless. However, under the shocking aura of the sword, it seemed to shrink. In the time it takes an incense stick to burn, he led the two of them across a region to appear in the southern part of the Ancient Gaze.

In the distance, there were three Holy Lands shining with brilliance.

The battlefield in the south was not protected by formations like in the east. The Great Luo Race located in the south had turned the entire south into a sea of fire.

Fire was the most suitable environment for them.

Using fire as a sea, they could exert the full battle strength of the Great Luo Race.

And during this period of time, the war between them and the Holy Lands was also extremely fierce.

Standing in the sky, Xu Qing could see that the land that was filled with a sea of fire was full of charred corpses, as well as countless collapsed buildings and magic weapon fragments. Some came from the land of the Great Luo Race, and some... came from the collapse of a Holy Land.

In the south, a Holy Land was destroyed and a Great Emperor was killed.

As a result, there were only three Holy Lands left of the original four.

And the arrival of Swordsage Great Emperor immediately attracted the attention of both sides. The pupils of the cultivators of the Great Luo Race shrank, and under the command of their God, retreated like the tide.

As for the Holy Land, the defensive formation was fully activated, and the three Great Emperors dared not show themselves.

What happened in the east had long been perceived by all sides.

In the face of someone who clearly possessed the battle prowess of the Summer Immortal, not only did the Sacred Land feel a strong sense of dread, but even the Crimson Land Exalted Tribe was on high alert.

But to Sword Wielder, whether or not the Crimson Land Exalted Tribe remained vigilant had nothing to do with him. What he needed to do now was impart his own sword art.

Thus, when their gazes landed on the three Holy Lands, the sword-wielding voice reverberated in the minds of the Empress and Xu Qing.

"The second style of the sword I comprehended is called …"

"Space Rend!"

Martial Swordsage Great Emperor said calmly. He raised his right hand and pressed it gently in the direction of the three Holy Lands.

The hearts of the Exalted from the Crimson Land were in turmoil, the sky dimmed, and the sea of fire on the ground was instantly extinguished.

The three Holy Lands floating in the air, along with a large area around them, suddenly became blurry.

A terrifying force seemed to descend from the sky and landed in that area, isolating it from the outside world.

Then, this power erupted, as if it was sucking away that region's aura!

Martial Swordsage Great Emperor's pure voice was also explaining his sword art.

"This sword art was created by me when I was conquering thousands of races for the Ancient Emperor. It's meant to wipe out enemies on a large scale. Not only does it have to retain its lethality, but it also has to cover a large area … Thus, the principle is to suck away all the aura in an area.

"Turn that area into a vacuum.

"Using the pressure of the vacuum itself, it can shatter the void and everything within it. The traces of its destruction are sword scars.

"These sword scars are boundless. When gathered together, they can become a sword that can split the void!"

As Martial Swordsage Great Emperor spoke, the area around the three Holy Lands that was isolated suddenly collapsed.

As all the aura was sucked away, the pressure erupted. Coupled with the support of Martial Swordsage Great Emperor's will, the expressions of all living beings in that area changed drastically.

The first to crack was the defensive formation of the three Holy Lands.

Under the pressure of the vacuum, the formation shook violently. More and more cracks appeared on it until it could no longer withstand the pressure and shattered.

Thus, an even greater pressure erupted within the three Holy Lands.

For a moment, it was incomparably miserable.

However, the screams could not be heard. They were isolated within.

Only the powerhouses of the three Holy Lands, such as the Great Emperors and Sovereigns, had bloodshot eyes. They all used their trump cards in an attempt to resist.

But … it was meaningless.

The collapse continued, and more cracks appeared.

Those cracks all turned into sword scars.

In the end, countless sword scars rose and gathered to form a shocking sword. In the isolated vacuum, sword light spread, sword Qi destroyed everything, and sword intent suppressed heaven and earth.

After a long time, the isolation dissipated. Countless fragments of the Holy Lands fell to the ground.

There was no flesh and blood. What fell with the fragments was dust formed by life.

All the life became nutrients that pushed Martial Swordsage Great Emperor forward. They surged into his body, causing his combat strength to rise again.

Under the sweeping aura, the gods of the Crimson Land Daluo Tribe also chose to retreat. They were unwilling to fight.

"If a True God doesn't appear, against Summer Immortal … we won't be able to resist."

After a long while, when Martial Swordsage Great Emperor left with Xu Qing and the Empress, a calm voice slowly came from the Crimson Land Daluo Tribe.

At the same time, the destruction of many Holy Lands and the death of many Great Emperors spread throughout the Wanggu Continent like a storm.

It shocked countless races in the Wanggu Continent, and many gods chose to remain silent.

The former glory of the Human Race also appeared in the hearts of all races at this moment.

At the same time, the Profound Level Holy Lands in the western and northern parts of the Wanggu Continent were incomparably terrified and shocked by this storm.

Therefore, the Holy Lands in these two areas contacted each other. On one hand, they activated their defenses with all their might. On the other hand, they asked for help from the starry sky outside the Wanggu Continent.

At the same time, they did not hesitate to immediately leave their places and gather together.

After coming to the Wanggu Continent, they could not leave. At this moment, the only path in front of them was to gather together.

Only by gathering the strength of several Holy Lands would they be able to hold their ground and wait for the arrival of the Earth-Level Holy Land and the only Heaven-Level Holy Land.

However, their plan would not go smoothly.

The Netherworld Origin Race in the west and the Northern Life Royal Tribe in the north were fighting against the Holy Lands that had descended upon their land. They would definitely seize the opportunity.

Therefore, the battle between the west and the north became even more intense.

The cultivators of the two races were fully mobilized to stop the Holy Lands from leaving.

Just like that, as the sounds of fighting echoed in all directions, Swordsage Great Emperor appeared in the sky of the Western Wanggu.

"The third style of the sword I've comprehended …"

"It's called the Heavenly Palace."

"I comprehended this move before the Ancient Emperor Xuan You unified the world. It's killing intent is too great and its methods are too cruel. It only targets cultivators and harms the harmony of the world … That's why I never used it after the gods descended."

Swordsage Great Emperor looked at the Holy Lands in front of him and said softly.

He then raised his hand and waved it forward.

Following this, a scene that made Xu Qing's eyes widen suddenly appeared.

Although Xu Qing was shocked when the Holy Lands in the east and south collapsed, he was not as shocked as he was now.

The truth was … the sword of the Heavenly Palace was indeed as Swordsage Great Emperor said. It only targeted cultivators and was cruel.

The reason being … the so-called Heavenly Palace was not a palace in the sky, but a Heavenly Palace formed inside the body of every cultivator in the Core Formation Realm and above!

Their Heavenly Palaces collapsed at this moment as if they were under the control of the sword. They turned into illusionary swords that broke out of their bodies!

It was extremely tragic.

Countless cries of agony.

It was like a killing move that gathered and formed a sea of swords that swept across the Holy Lands in the west.

It was a calamity for cultivators in the Core Formation Realm and above.

As for cultivators in the Core Formation Realm and below, it was even more difficult to escape death. They were all destroyed by the sea of swords.

This continued until the Holy Land itself shattered under the destruction of the sea of swords.

Everything collapsed and all living beings died.

Only Swordsage Great Emperor's voice broke the silence and echoed in the ears of Xu Qing and the Empress.

"Using the enemy's Heavenly Palace as a sword, this is the Heavenly Palace Sword."

"As for the fourth sword …"

"Its name is Starlight!

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Heavens rumbled, as if the Heavens were being split open. Day faded away, and night fell.

In the dark night, countless stars twinkled.

Countless starlights appeared in the world, turning into streaks of sword light and long swords, sprinkling down on the world.

Swordsage Great Emperor took a step forward and landed on a beam of starlight, bringing Xu Qing and the Empress with him.

With the pure white snow as the background, the starlight was resplendent and reflected the snow, and it was dazzling and brilliant, and it drowned the Holy Land here.

From afar, a huge vortex of starlight had appeared, swallowing everything.

At this moment, everyone was speechless.

The myriad races were silent as the deities watched.

At this moment, Sword Emperor Great Emperor became the brightest star in the entire Wanggu Nation and rose from the vortex.

Under the influx of endless vitality, his aura continued to explode, pushing his battle prowess to the peak of Summer Immortal's level.

The heavens trembled and the earth rumbled.

However, the death aura on his body had grown extremely strong too.

His voice also became hoarse.

"As for the last sword … I want to leave it there."

Sword Emperor Great Emperor Great Emperor raised his head, and his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the sky and look beyond the starry sky.

At this moment, in the starry sky of the Wanggu Continent, five shocking Holy Lands had already arrived.

At the front were four Holy Lands.

Regardless of size or aura, they were all far beyond the Profound level.

They were Earth-level Holy Lands.

As for the last one … it was shaped like a huge heart. As it beat, it erupted with an incomparably terrifying power that surpassed all others.

That was … the only Heaven-level Holy Land!

On the Heaven-level Holy Land, on an ancient tower, an old man in a black robe stood.

He had his hands behind his back, and his face was full of wrinkles. He seemed to have experienced countless years and witnessed all of history. At this moment, he had returned.

His gaze fell on the Wanggu Continent.

The eyes of the Sword Emperor Great Emperor looking across the sky.
