Chapter 41: One Sword Annihilates The Supreme

But this deduction was soon overturned by everyone.

The young Heavenly Emperor’s journey, his unyielding nature, and his indomitable conviction were all seen by the crowd.

He trained rigorously, was stern with himself, and was determined to take revenge in the future.

Even if he refused to be treated as a pawn by the Tianji Sect, he would never come here to die!

For a moment everyone was bewildered.

The young man couldn’t defeat Wang Teng, and he wasn’t here to seek death—then what was he here for? Was he here to warn Wang Teng?

The crowd really couldn’t fathom it.

At this point someone said, “We may not know why the Heavenly Emperor came, but now there is a great possibility that the Heavenly Emperor’s sword heart was destroyed by Wang Teng’s hand.”

This remark made a lot of sense.

And Wang Teng was undoubtedly a great mountain to him. Gu Changqing right now simply wasn’t qualified to remove such a mountain.

Thus his sword heart would naturally be shattered!

Hearing this, Ye Chen felt a bit disappointed.

He had nearly been convinced that the Heavenly Emperor’s sword heart was destroyed because he had committed sacrilegious deeds against his masters and ancestors.

After all, this possibility was enormous: the Heavenly Emperor concealed this part of his past from everyone, and that alone was truly strange.

Despite the disappointment, he still harbored a small hope.

Since Gu Changqing began cultivation he had almost steamrolled everything—at Great Power he managed to cut down a Saint King—and that heroic bearing left a deep impression.

He even fought those cultivators when his dao foundation was in shambles. This guy had a really strong backbone.

He was quite eager to see how this so-called invincible sword heart would look when destroyed.

“I have come to kill you.”

Those brief six words made his intent clear.

That also gave the cultivators outside the mirror the answer to all their speculations.

Wang Teng was somewhat taken aback.

He was taken aback simply because this fellow was too open and aboveboard. He didn’t resemble what a killer should be.

“Do I have an enmity with you?” Wang Teng squinted, evaluating the other, his mind rapidly thinking when he had offended such an enemy.

Gu Changqing shook his head and said truthfully, “Someone hired me to kill you. As to which faction I’m aligned with, I won’t tell you.”

Wang Teng almost burst out laughing in amusement.

Were assassins these days like this? No games at all?

He actually gained some respect toward Gu Changqing for being so upfront instead of making a sneak attack.

Since the purpose was clear, Wang Teng had no hesitation. “Follow me, come!”

He shouted and was the first to fly deep into the star sea.

Gu Changqing glanced at the beings within the ancient stars, did not hesitate, and followed.

Wang Teng was at Supreme level, an extraordinarily terrifying man!

Becoming a Saint King was already difficult, but there were still countless numbers of them throughout the vast Beixuan Continent and the Three Realms.

But Supremes could be counted on one hand.

Such an existence could annihilate Saint Kings with a single glance. When battles of this level were fought with full force, they would leave corpses in their wake for tens of thousands of miles.

“Sir, make your move. Since you dared come to kill me, you must have some skill, right?”

Wang Teng stood proudly in the depths of the star sea as terrifying aura erupted around him.

His impression of Gu Changqing was fairly good. At the very least, this guy didn’t seem like someone who used underhanded tricks.

Because of that, he was willing to give the other a chance to strike first.

After all, this opponent looked too young and inexperienced. If Wang Teng made the first move, then this boy might as well not have come at all.

To his surprise, the young man across from him calmly shook his head. “You strike first. We have no enmity, so I am willing to give you the opportunity to attack.”

“Pft.”

Wang Teng burst out laughing again.

Wang Teng prided himself on supreme arrogance, yet it seemed this guy across from him was no less arrogant.

This young man was merely a teenager. Where did his courage even come from?

“Enough. I don’t have time to play with you.”

The gathered aura around Wang Teng violently erupted. Billowing shockwaves exploded, and countless ancient stars were instantly pulverized into dust.

He condensed the grand momentum of heaven and earth, drew upon infinite chains of laws, and concentrated them into a single fist.

In the next moment, it suddenly burst forth.

At that moment, the entire star sea completely exploded. Chaotic qi surged for tens of millions of miles, a stretch of spacetime was pierced through, and even the river of time and space was severed by this peerless Supreme!

Countless laws condensed into a towering pillar that split the heavens, striking toward Gu Changqing with unstoppable force.

Gu Changqing remained calm and unhurried.

At one particular moment, a flash of cold light glinted in his eyes.

Without any flashy moves, he swung his axe.

Sword light erupted, extending millions upon millions of miles in an instant.

Like a grand curtain of a galaxy—dazzling to the extreme, magnificently vast—the entire cosmos was illuminated, and that immense chaotic spacetime was split in two by this sword.

The sword momentum was terrifying, his sword intent even more so.

At that moment, it was as if countless ancient gods and demons sleeping in the river of time awoke, unleashing deafening roars and spreading terrible battle intent!

This sword seemed to carry ten thousand paths upon it, its grandeur vast.

Amazement rose in Wang Teng’s eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In that moment he finally understood: the reason the boy let him strike first was not arrogance, but confidence!

But it was clearly a bit late by the time he realized it.

That sword was terrifying to the extreme—not only in might but in true intent—causing him to feel compelled to submit.

A majestic Supreme who dominated heaven and earth actually found it hard to summon the courage to resist this sword!

Skrree!

Where the sword light passed, it annihilated everything. Though the radiance from Wang Teng’s attack was mighty, it was still ruthlessly crushed by the sword light.

Infinite sword momentum, like a tide, pierced through the body of this peerless Supreme.

Finally, with the explosion in that distant chaotic sea, at that moment the entire chaos boiled. This sword destroyed untold hundreds of millions upon millions of stars in the star sea.

The Beixuan Continent’s universally acknowledged top prodigy Supreme actually fell just like that, perishing into the star sea.

Like those endless ancient stars, he was silently extinguished into the chaos.
