1383 Sword Rises
Fiddling with time and cutting through the past was an ability that cultivators could master but they definitely couldn’t achieve such proficiency and control.
This was because this was the god’s authority.
This was the meaning of being omniscient.
In the eyes of the god, everything was recorded on the bodies of all living beings. Everything in the past overlapped with the present and was extremely clear.
At that moment, the River of Time churned and enveloped the human world. Countless past bodies of Zhao Youde rapidly approached him.
However, Ruler was a realm second only to a Quasi-Immortal in the cultivation system. Moreover, Zhao Youde, who had hidden in the human race for many years, was a half-step Peak Ruler.
With such cultivation, he had the strength to fight even gods.
Faced with this seemingly fatal divine authority, he raised his right hand and grabbed at the sky.
With this grab, the sky reversed as though the sky had been changed.
The sky was replaced by a vast starry sky.
This starry sky was so large that it enveloped everything in the surroundings. At the same time, it seemed to separate this area from Wanggu, making it into a universe that belonged to him, Zhao Youde.
In this universe, although there were countless of his past bodies, there were more stars.
The instant the countless stars shone, Zhao Youde’s thoughts undulated and the stars shattered in unison.
The destruction of countless stars affected the entire universe, causing it to collapse.
As they collapsed, they turned into a depression that formed a huge pulling force.
It was like the universe had become a vast black hole.
In an instant, all of Zhao Youde’s past bodies were devoured by the collapsing universe under the guidance of this majestic devouring force.
Not a single one was left!
Cutting through time and manifesting the past to counterattack the main body seemed like a certain victory. Since both of them couldn’t die, there was only one way to resolve it.
Suppress, seal, and return to one.
All of this took a long time to describe but in reality, it happened in the blink of an eye. The instant all his past bodies were devoured by the collapse of the universe, Zhao Youde grabbed fiercely.
Immediately, the world returned to its original state.
The universe that belonged to him shrank and finally transformed into a black bead that landed in front of Zhao Youde.
Without any hesitation, he looked at Purple Green and flicked the bead.
This bead suddenly rose into the air.
He instantly disappeared and reappeared in the sky.
“Suppress!”
Zhao Youde spoke stiffly.
At the next moment, the black bead that flew to the sky suddenly erupted and covered the sky, changing the sky again.
However, this time, the sky transformed into a galaxy.
It suppressed the ground and the River of Time that was drawn out by Purple Green.
Using the galaxy to suppress the River of Time.
When Crown Prince Purple Green saw this scene, he chuckled.
“Interesting.”
“You can suppress your time, but what about my time?”
As Crown Prince Purple Green spoke, he tapped his forehead.
The instant the finger landed, the void around Crown Prince Purple Green instantly distorted. His past also appeared in all directions.
However, they were all blurry and couldn’t be seen clearly.
One could only feel endless resentment and madness. Carrying unwillingness, they transformed into waves of monstrous roars that erupted from the peak of the world.
As for himself, his expression was still gentle. At that moment, he lifted his finger and casually grabbed at the illusory blurry surroundings.
He had cut off a portion of his time from his previous life and manifested it in the main world, pressing it into the River of Time.
The vast River of Time churned intensely at this instant, and huge waves surged into the sky.
In the river, a huge white jade finger broke through the surface of the water with destructive force, sweeping up the power of his previous life and shaking the Dao of heaven and earth as it rushed out of the River of Time.
From afar, it looked like a pillar that supported the world.
Its peak aura shook the world.
It then collided with the galaxy that was falling from the sky.
The galaxy trembled and shone intensely. In the end, it collapsed, revealing the gloomy Zhao Youde behind it.
That earth-shattering white jade finger didn’t stop at all and headed straight for Zhao Youde.
It was about to get close.
In the sky, Zhao Youde took a deep breath and quickly performed a series of hand seals with both hands. He then spread out his thumbs and index fingers in front of his chest.
It formed a rhombus shape and pushed down on the white jade finger.
Immediately, the galaxy erupted from it and the power of the Great Dao flowed like a river, churning toward the white jade finger.
This Great Dao contained the power of space.
This was Zhao Youde’s Dao and the main reason why he could hide in the human race until now.
At that moment, as the power of the Great Dao swept out, Crown Prince Purple Green’s white jade finger suddenly trembled.
It actually transformed into a painting in the air.
This painting was unstable, as though it could collapse at any moment.
Zhao Youde’s breathing was hurried. He performed hand seals with both hands and pressed down again.
Immediately, the white jade finger that had become a painting folded under the power of the Great Dao, forming a white line.
Zhao Youde’s eyes turned bloodshot as he pressed down for the third time.
This white line became a white dot!
Zhao Youde was about to chant for the fourth time when an earth-shattering aura emitted from the white dot, accompanied by a deafening boom.
This dot directly exploded.
From within, the white jade finger tore through space and landed in front of Zhao Youde.
A rumbling sound spread through the world.
Zhao Youde spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated abruptly. His expression was incomparably solemn. As he retreated, his body was constantly covered in wounds and blood splattered everywhere.
“Jade Capital Immortal Finger!”
“You are that Crown Prince Purple Green from back then!”
“But now… you are neither human nor cultivator nor god, neither alive nor dead nor existing!”
Zhao Youde’s pupils contracted.
The ones who were even more shocked were the other cultivators.
Everyone knew how mysterious the State Preceptor was, but his combat strength had exceeded their imagination. Now, his identity was revealed…
When the name ‘Crown Prince Purple Green’ was spoken, it was like thunder rumbling in the sky.
Not everyone knew the identity of the State Preceptor, so the vast majority of officials felt their hearts stir at this moment.
Xu Qing’s expression was cold. He saw the scene he wanted and confirmed his judgment.
Only the Empress didn’t glance at Purple Green. The divine fire on her body had reached the final moment and vast divine authority was erupting.
The Sword Holding Great Emperor also didn’t show any response.
Seeing this, Zhao Youde, who was in the air, turned and was about to leave.
He knew that it was impossible for him to extinguish the divine fire today.
However, Crown Prince Purple Green clearly didn’t want this Ruler to leave just like that.
“First, it was the universe, then the Great Dao. My goal in telling you so much is to see your fate.”
“Now, I see it.”
Crown Prince Purple Green spoke softly. He raised his right hand and grabbed at the sky. Immediately, the blood that fell from Zhao Youde’s body gathered together and finally floated in Crown Prince Purple Green’s palm.
With a squeeze of his palm, the blood transformed into a red thread.
After that, under the gaze of everyone and under Zhao Youde’s drastic change in expression, he connected this thread to his hair.
They merged into one.
After that, he inhaled.
A bizarre and unbelievable scene appeared in everyone’s eyes at this moment.
In the air, Zhao Youde’s body trembled violently and he let out a mournful wail. His body weakened rapidly, as though some precious existence had disappeared from his body.
It was absorbed by Purple Green who had seen his fate.
At this critical moment, Zhao Youde pressed his forehead.
His body instantly transformed into a painting, then a line, and then a dot. After that… he vanished without a trace.
“A portion of his fate has been sucked away!”
The Sun God suddenly spoke.
Not many people could see the mysteries of this scene. Only someone at flawlessness stage or higher could see the truth.
“Connecting fate and absorbing it…”
“Such a divine technique is the same as Father’s Wanggu Devouring Art.”
The Sun God’s expression was solemn as They looked at Purple Green.
“I think this is a way for you to recover your cultivation from your previous life.”
Purple Green smiled gently, not replying. Instead, he walked toward the sky.
He naturally wouldn’t let go of a tonic like Zhao Youde.
With a step, he chased after Zhao Youde’s traces and vanished into the horizon.
The human world fell silent.
The gods who came to obstruct the ritual, regardless of whether it was the Blazing God, the Night God, or the god of the Northern Fate Royal Family, all retreated in silence.
Since they couldn’t stop the ritual, there was no point in staying anymore.
90% of the divine fire on the Ancient Sovereign Planet had already twisted golden. As for the past human emperors in the five vortices in the surroundings, the god aura on their bodies grew increasingly intense as their divine authorities solidified.
The Empress’ god aura was even more dense.
The ritual would be finished in just fifteen minutes now.
However, at this moment, a shattering sound rang out from the sky!
It was the sound of the wind blowing through the Wanggu’s sky.
A strong wind blew in the human capital.
Someone slashed in the direction of Wanggu from the Mystic Nether Holy Land.
This slash traversed the starry sky, and seemed capable of cutting the ancient times and ending the present. It carried endless momentum and the might to destroy the world, landing in Wanggu.
It appeared at the top of the sky above the human palace.
It formed a huge crack that was 500,000 kilometers long. It was endless and altered into a saber shadow, like a true heavenly saber.
The moment it appeared, the color of the sky changed and the wind blew. A suffocating feeling descended on the world.
Compared to the Wanggu’s gods and the Wanggu’s races, the one who didn’t want the Empress to become a god and leave their control the most was naturally the Mystic Nether Holy Land!
Therefore, the power of a Great Emperor was used!
The saber slash of a Great Emperor!
A sigh rang out in the human world.
The withered figure in the Sword Holding Palace opened his eyes.
That one sword strike of his was to be utilized against the gods or… the holy land!
“You still made a move in the end.”
The figure in the Sword Holding Palace muttered hoarsely. His voice contained the vicissitudes of time and endless complexity.
After that…
The Emperor Sword in Xu Qing’s body trembled unprecedentedly. Endless sword light flickered shockingly from his body.
