Chapter 574: The Sword Emperor's Dao, You're No Sword Emperor, I'll Take It

Swordsman Gu used his body as a sword, but Chu Kuangren had still sliced him into halves.

The Sword Tribe's cultivators were trembling in fear at Chu Kuangren's otherworldly abilities as they stared at him like he was the devil.

"Swordsman Gu!"

Not far away, Swordsman Yin was devastated to witness Swordsman Gu dying so effortlessly in Chu Kuangren's hands.

He then struck out his sword, forcing Swordsman Mei to take a few steps back before transforming into a light ray that charged towards Chu Kuangren.

The light ray vanished into the realm and appeared sporadically in random locations. Swordsman Yin was unpredictable and enigmatic.

In the blink of an eye, the light ray reappeared right in front of Chu Kuangren.

"Do all those gimmicks even help?"

Chu Kuangren said faintly as he swung the Self Descendant Sword in his hand and landed a precise strike on Swordsman Yin.

Although it seemed executed at a whim, Chu Kuangren's strike had locked Swordsman Yin's movement precisely at where it needed to be. There was no way Swordsman Yin could use his techniques to retaliate.

With his sword out, the sword qi tore Swordsman Yin to death on the spot!

His death had ended similar to Swordsman Gu's.

Gulp...

The cultivators were incredulous.

Swordsman Gu and Swordsman Yin were the strongest amongst them. Yet, Chu Kuangren had killed them both with one strike. They posed no threat to him at all.

Chu Kuangren was unstoppable.

"We're no match for him. He's too strong."

"D*mn it! There's no way he isn't a Sovereign. This b*stard's too powerful!"

Chu Kuangren slowly made his way to the palace under the fearful stares of the cultivators.

Just then, Chu Kuangren felt a strange commotion from his surroundings.

The scattered sword marks began to emit a powerful sword aura that locked Chu Kuangren in his place.

"What a powerful energy. Oh, Sword Daoist, what surprises have you brought for me?"

Chu Kuangren stared into the palace with excitement.

A glorious sword ray shot out the palace and transformed into a magnificent sword qi pillar.

From the palace, a figure in gold attire slowly walked.

His entire physique was bathed in thick and fortified sword qi, as if he was a superior God of Sword. In his hand was an emerald-colored ancient longsword. It was known as the Qingxuan Divine Sword, an Emperor Weapon used by the deceased Sword Emperor Qingxuan!

The person was none other than the Sword Daoist, who had just refined and absorbed more than half of the Sword Emperor's inheritance.

"Chu Kuangren, I don't care how you've managed to find your way here. But today, you'll die in this exact spot!"

The Sword Daoist said triumphantly.

He swung his divine sword lightly, causing the surrounding sword marks to reanimate and surge into the sky!

It was the Sword Emperor's Dao!

After refining the Sword Emperor's inheritance, the Sword Daoist had learned to control the Sword Emperor's Dao that were infused within those sword marks!

"Experience the anger of Sword Emperor Qingxuan!"

The Sword Daoist lifted the Qingxuan Divine Sword and commanded the surrounding Sword Emperor's Dao to his side, forming a gigantic green sword shadow. A boundless Emperor's Aura emerged, seething with the overwhelming hatred and reluctance that were once harbored by the Sword Emperor!

With a loud grunt from Sword Daoist, spiritual powers surged and fused with the Sword Emperor's Dao. As such, the sword shadow grew even more magnificent before it fell toward Chu Kuangren!

However, before the sword shadow could even reach the land, a violent typhoon ensued.

Jian Changfeng was clutching onto Chu Kuangren's robe as his figurine body swayed in the air. Swordsman Mei was also forced to channel her spiritual powers to stabilize herself.

However, Chu Kuangren did not take a single step back at all. He retained his suave demeanor while showing no signs of fear.

"The Sword Emperor's Dao? Well then, I shall help myself to it."

Chu Kuangren swung the Self-Descendant Sword in his hand, unleashing a magnificent and blinding purple sword ray into the void.

This movement was imbued with Chu Kuangren's Invincible Dao!

Combined with the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique, it formed an invincible sword technique!

As soon as the purple sword ray crashed into the green sword shadow, the impact caused the surrounding structures to crumble!

The Sword Tribe's cultivators were blown away by the impact.

Being the first in line, Chu Kuangren and the Sword Daoist received the greatest amount of damage.

With his domineering Supreme Sage Physique, Chu Kuangren was unafraid of the blast wave. As for the Sword Daoist, he was forced to retreat several steps back as blood began to froth from the edges of his lips.

Once the sword qi dissipated, the cultivators noticed Chu Kuangren was still in his battle poise. His white clothes were still as good as new.

Meanwhile, most of the Sword Tribe's members had collapsed onto the ground, suffering from great injuries. Even the Sword Daoist was barely holding himself together as he kneeled on the ground.

"You've got to be kidding me! Not even the Sword Emperor's Dao could do him any harm!"

"How's he so strong?!"

The Sword Tribe's members were mortified by Chu Kuangren.

Jian Changfeng and Swordsman Mei had nothing but fear and admiration as they stared at Chu Kuangren from behind.

"The Sword Emperor's Dao is remarkable indeed, but the passage of time has weakened the Dao in the sword marks. Furthermore, you're no Sword Emperor!"

Chu Kuangren uttered calmly to the Sword Daoist.

Although the sword marks left by the Sword Emperor were exceptional, its energy had been severely undermined by the countless eons that passed. The Sword Daoist could only reanimate the Dao using the Qingxuan Divine Sword and the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart. However, he was no Sword Emperor, so there was a limit to how much power he could draw from the sword marks.

"Let's go!"

After realizing that he could not defeat Chu Kuangren even with the Sword Emperor's Dao, Sword Daoist decided to leave immediately.

Sword Daoist may have acquired the Sword Emperor's inheritance, but he had yet fully refined it. Until then, he was no match for Chu Kuangren.

What he needed now was a place to fully process this Sword Emperor's inheritance. Only after refining the sword emblems would the Sword Daoist be more confident in facing Chu Kuangren!

"Where do you think you're going?"

Chu Kuangren activated the Spatial Conveyor Skill and teleported before the Sword Daoist.

"Wind and Earth of the Sword!"

The Sword Daoist grunted and unleashed two blinding rays of light.

A green and yellow orb levitated from his body and transformed into two distinct sword rays that charged towards Chu Kuangren.

One of them was infused with the devastating power of wind, the other was dense beyond limit as if it contained the weight of all the mountains and rivers within this world.

These were the Wind Sword Emblem and Earth Sword Emblem.

"Oh, are those the treasures you've found?"

Chu Kuangren enquired casually as he swung his sword forward, repelling the two sword rays away while retaining his steps.

"D*mn it. If this goes on, I won't be able to leave at all."

The Sword Daoist's face sunk.

As such, he took out the Fire and Water Sword Emblems that he retrieved from the Sword Emperor's corpse.

Although the sword emblems were still unrefined, he could still draw a significant amount of power using his Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart.

The Sword Daoist grunted and activated his Daoist Physical Transformation. Above him, the Sword of The Heavens projected the Fire and Water Sword Emblems. As it resonated with the Wind and Earth Sword Emblems, the Sword of The Heavens circled and unleashed the boundless power of the Four Mystical Elements on Chu Kuangren.

"I see it now. Well, I'll gladly take these sword emblems for myself."

Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up, and he took out the Sacred Emerald Sword Case. From there, he retrieved twenty-four longswords to form the Four Seasons Sword Formation.

When the sword formation and sword emblem clashed, the intersection of energies from the Four Season and Four Mystical Elements exploded into a glorious display of colors.
