Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5408  You Go First

Just as Gong Miaoyi voluntarily revealed her Eternal Treasure, Bai Junwang sensed that something was amiss.

Indeed, the other party was not an ignorant fool. At a glance, they discerned the power of the Eternal Treasure.

While it wasn't apparent during the earlier confrontation, breaking through the purple thunder and tearing through space with a force-based technique indicated either a significantly superior strength or possession of a rare treasure.

Gong Miaoyi fell into the latter category, directly exposing the formidable might of the Bloodfall Crystal. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

"Humph, for now, let's think about how to escape since Jian Wushuang is dead!" Despite the lack of expression on Gong Miaoyi's face, there was a hint of excitement in her heart. The clash of titans had eased her tension.

However, she couldn't afford to be too complacent. If Jian Wushuang truly fell, it would be troublesome for her.

At that moment, Bai Junwang wouldn't intervene to stop Kun Tai on her behalf.

Seeing Jian Wushuang determinedly obstruct Kun Tai, a fleeting glint appeared in Gong Miaoyi's eyes, but it quickly dissipated.

Jian Wushuang wasn't doing it for her; it was for a greater benefit—for the Origin Source within her body.

Although both were maintaining their speed, Bai Junwang couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Despite knowing Jian Wushuang's capabilities, facing a tier 5 Emperor was no trivial matter. What if Jian Wushuang fell?

Even though the Origin Source had been refined for him, he was unwilling to give up on such a powerful ally as Jian Wushuang.

"You go ahead. I'll help Jian Wushuang!" Bai Junwang made up his mind.

The moment he spoke, Jian Wushuang's voice echoed in their ears.

"Don't mind me. Go to the Black Demon Sea. There, the space is chaotic, and you'll be safe wherever you go!" Jian Wushuang's voice sounded hoarse, indicating that he had sustained severe injuries.

The formidable physical body indeed made a significant impact.

At least this time, the Origin Source was unharmed, and with the Origin Source intact, anything was possible.

While the physical body continued to recover, the divine body required treasures.

The godstones from before, exchanged for treasures upon leaving Great Xia, and obtained a fair share from that old lady before setting out, were all swallowed without considering whether they could be consumed.

The Boundless Divine Body, like a devouring behemoth, constantly digested and fused.

The divine body began to rise.

Sensing Jian Wushuang's aura rising, Bai Junwang gritted his teeth and had no choice but to leave first.

He then transmitted a message to Jian Wushuang, "Kid, don't you dare die!"

"Hehe, keep an eye on Gong Miaoyi. If she runs away, I'll definitely take your life!" Jian Wushuang self-mockingly smiled.

It wasn't easy for him to die, at least not at the hands of this tier 5 Emperor before him.

If he could be killed by this Emperor, he wouldn't bother protecting Gong Miaoyi.

Compared to his own life, nothing else mattered.

"You're not dead yet!" Kun Tai's expression had shifted from surprise to a feeling of incredulity.

A seemingly tier 4 Emperor had first trapped him and then withstood a punch at full strength without dying.

Jian Wushuang revealed only his eyes, enveloped in black armor, and sneered, "Trying to kill me? Not that easy!"

"One Thought!"

Instantly, Thought power surged!

The sea trembled!

"Universe!"

Buzz!

The Swirling Sea transformed into a vortex, where fish and shrimp resembled stars, and the vortex was the universe.

Kun Tai's eyes contracted to a point, witnessing this technique for the first time.

The space within billions of miles solidified, merging the original nine layers into one.

On both sides of the vortex, two colossal stars emerged.

One icy cold, the other scorching hot!

The Dao of All Things!

The Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two!

These two are the two extremes.

The two extremes give birth to four images!

Continuously evolving, the universe was born.

Jian Wushuang's understanding of the Extreme Dao was profound now, no longer vague as before, only perceiving the One Thought Universe as a domain.

He preferred to believe that this universe truly existed.

Perhaps not at this specific moment, but in the future, this universe would be real.

Just like the starry sky he set out for years ago.

A star eventually transformed into a planet of life.

From that ancient giant, it evolved into a race.

The giant with a stone axe, like him.

Both were great pioneers.

The former opened up a tribe!

He wanted to open up a universe, even open up a stretch of the starry sky; he wanted to overlook all the races throughout eternity.

From the beginning of time to its end, everything must be under his rule.

"Today, I want to see how strong a tier 5 Emperor truly is!"

Jian Wushuang was somewhat manic. It had been a long time since he went all out in a battle.

Then, he muttered softly, "Let's also see how strong I am!"

Boom!

The forces of the universe converged within Jian Wushuang. A primordial longsword appeared in his hand, much like the Ultimate pillar of Sword Dao standing in the Origin Source Sea.

All paths, all Dao, converged into one sword strike.

"Suppress!"

On a whim, Jian Wushuang actually wanted to suppress and kill this tier 5 Emperor. He himself didn't know where he got the courage.

But when this word was uttered, Kun Tai started to panic.

"Luo Chuan, go intercept those two!"

Kun Tai took a deep breath. He knew that this time, he probably wouldn't have the chance to pursue personally.

In the upcoming battle, he might even face the possibility of falling.

Luo Chuan hesitated. He wanted to intercept, but he didn't have the strength for it.

What level was Luo Chuan at now?

Although he didn't exert his full strength when fighting Jian Wushuang, in a real fight, he could only barely hold off a peak-level tier 4.

Gong Miaoyi possessed an extraordinary Eternal Treasure; he wasn't a match for her.

If he failed to intercept properly, he might end up sacrificing himself.

Bai Junwang's strength was ferocious; he couldn't be stopped.

With these two combined, even a regular tie 5 Emperor wouldn't be able to stop them.

There was no way out now.

"Call for reinforcements!" Luo Chuan resigned.

But he wouldn't call the troops from the Mo Luo army; he had already sent a message to his master.

A tier 6 peak-level Emperor traveling from Turtle Spirit Island to here wouldn't take much time.

Moreover, the sensing ability of a tier 6 Emperor was astonishing.

As long as the escape wasn't too far, he could trace the opponent based on spatial traces.

Seeing Luo Chuan unmoved, Kun Tai understood.

Although Luo Chuan was envious, he hadn't lost his mind.

But Kun Tai was different; he came from humble beginnings, and he wasn't willing to give up. If he obtained the extraordinary Eternal Treasure, he could retire directly.

No need to serve as a dog for Mo Luo Nation anymore.

With the treasure in hand, he could go far away, abandoning everything – family, sect, disciples, and descendants. Everything could be forsaken.

His current Origin Source realm was just an ordinary tier 5 Emperor.

If he could obtain an extraordinary Eternal Treasure and comprehend the patterns within it, he could elevate his Origin Source, perhaps even reaching the pinnacle of the tier 5.

With the addition of the treasure, he would possess peak combat power.

As long as a tier 6 Emperor didn't appear, he would be invincible.

No longer relying on others, he himself would be the support.

He was determined!

Facing Jian Wushuang, Kun Tai began to burn his Origin Source, even burning his divine body.

Directly burning one percent, doubling his strength.

Jian Wushuang's expression also changed.

He was ready to sacrifice everything.

To deal with a Dao Lord like him, burning the Origin Source and divine body.

"You've forced me to this point; I have to admit you're quite extraordinary!" Kun Tai spoke each word slowly, and his strength continued to climb.
