“Time Crushing Sword!

  “Disruptive Sword!

  “Impeccable Attack!”


  …


  The Sword Master kept casting ultimate sword spells. Each spell was destructive, even the force of the realm and the stars had to make way for his attacks.

  However, the ultimate sword spells did not work on Jiang Liu. They were powerful but Jiang Liu chopped them away like he was chopping wood!

  The Sword Master had a twisted facial expression. He yelled with disbelief, “This is impossible! How could this be?”


  “You have nine reincarnations, but you’re merely borrowing the power of past Sword Masters. Moreover… These powers were incomplete in the first place!” Jiang Liu looked serious.

  He had advice from the expert and became a professional woodsman. He chopped wood every day and learned cultivation from it. He had the support from the Willow Tree, so he could overpower the Sword Master!”


  “Moreover…”


  Jiang Liu looked at the Sword of Slaughter. “That sword’s owner is me!”


  He pointed at the Sword of Slaughter.

  Clang!

  The Sword of Slaughter trembled and escaped from the grasp of the unfocused Sword Master. It flew into Jiang Liu’s hands.

  “Radiant Sun!”


  “Lotus Lantern Holy Fire, Rise and Burn!”


  Cultivator Junjun and the others seized the chance to cast their ultimate spells at that moment. Endless power caused the Power of Law to increase even further. The Sword Master was in a world of destruction!

  The Lotus Lantern in Goddess Nuwa’s hands spat out colorful flames. It turned into an endless fire that burned the sky!

  The terrifying high heat increased like it was a furnace for the Sword Master!

  The Sword Master snapped out of it. He was clearly maniacal. His long hair drooped over his shoulders as he burst out laughing.

  “Hehe, haha—”


  He picked up his longsword. Instead of backing away, he stepped forward.

  That step was like a step on Wisdom. Ripples turned to terrifying pressure.

  A sky full of Sword Qi made the realm quake. Their ultimate spells were stopped by his Sword Intent!

  “Fate’s so unfair!

  “So be it. This time, I’ll cast my own ultimate spell.”


  The Sword Master felt like the anti-hero giving his last effort.

  He growled, “The Ultimate Sword!”


  Buzz!

  Time and space boiled like water. His invincible Sword Intent erupted and circled them like a dragon. It flew around and churned their ultimate spells into nothingness!

  It was an invincible attack that contained all sorts of spells. It was about the laws of nature. It leaned toward Wisdom!

  However, the Wisdom faded after mixing up all the ultimate spells. It was gone with the wind.

  Everyone was in an anxious daze. They looked at the Sword Master with mixed emotions.

  At that moment, even Xiao Chengfeng was serious. He held his longsword tightly and stood up with respect.

  Jiang Liu was also silent. He looked at the Sword Master as a true sword cultivator.

  The attack of the Sword Master was like a response to what Jiang Liu said.

  He had his own sword cultivation, and it was powerful. He could defeat cultivators with his own glory!

  However, once he cast his ultimate spell, he also released the Elite inside his body!

  In the first place, he took the Sword of Slaughter so he could suppress the Elite inside his body!

  Jiang Liu sighed and felt bad for the Sword Master.

  As a sword cultivator, he naturally understood the pain of the Sword Master. His story was torture that was worse than death for sword cultivators!

  “I’m back. I’ve gone through the ninth reincarnation and am once again reborn!”


  A mysterious and unfamiliar power started to grow inside the body of the Sword Master. A coarse and old voice could be heard.

  His aura was extremely different, too. It was no longer intimidating. It became subtle and fleeting.

  However, it was without a doubt scarier.

  The Big Elder jolted and his pupils dilated. His lips shivered as he said with respect, “Old… Old Sword Master!”


  Everyone else from the Palm Sword Cliff worshipped him anxiously. “Greetings to the Old Sword Master!”


  The Palm Sword Cliff was created by the first generation Sword Master. Nobody had met the Old Sword Master before.

  However, the legend of the Palm Sword Cliff Sword Master was passed down for generations.

  Everyone was shocked and horrified.

  After all, he was an Elite!

  He was one of the most invincible beings ever, an Elite before the Eldritch era!

  An invisible pressure washed over their hearts. Nobody dared to move or breathe.

  That was the authority of an Elite. An intimidating confidence from another level!

  He did not emit it, but everyone felt like they could not match up.

  Boom!

  He gently pressed forward.

  A terrifying power suddenly pressed down on Goddess Nuwa and the others. It knocked them down from the sky. They spat out blood and could not resist at all!

  Cultivator Junjun looked horrified.

  The aura of the Sword Master was stronger than the Minister of the Ministry and the Soul Master. After all, the Minister was not considered an Elite. The Soul Master was a soul.

  The Sword Master, however, was born from reincarnation. He had powers from nine lifetimes, so he was naturally stronger!

  The others looked like they were dead in despair.

  The Sword Master looked at Jiang Liu and said, “I have to properly thank you. You’re a decent sword cultivator, you deserve to be my Sword Intern!”


  He stood on top and ordered like he was doing charity.

  Jiang Liu shook his head and looked at him with contempt. “You’re a cowardly sword cultivator. You want me to be your Sword Intern, but are you worthy?!”


  “Are you trying to die?”


  The Sword Master looked at Jiang Liu with a composed gaze. He looked like he did not want to argue with an insect. He calmly said, “Huh? You’ve borrowed the power of a Memorial Spirit. I’ll overpower the Memorial Spirit sooner or later!”


  Jiang Liu uncontrollably levitated mid-air. He was trapped by an invisible force. He hung in front of the Sword Master as the Sword Master teasingly mocked him.

  He said, “Do you know how much I had to sacrifice back then? I fought the Eldritchs, stopped catastrophes, and saved countless lives. It’s only natural that several cultivators had to sacrifice themselves to revive me!

  “Moreover, my revival’s better than any cultivator! It’s for the countless lives in the Chaos!”


  Jiang Liu stared straight at the Sword Master. He said sternly, “Your past achievements cannot be an excuse for what you’ve done in the present! From the moment you revived yourself by sacrificing other Sword Masters, your past glory is tarnished and tainted!

  “Moreover, the nine generations of Sword Masters were incredible sword cultivators. They had their own sword cultivation. They had their own goals and dreams. They had the chance to become Elites, too. Their lives were incomplete because of you. They were unwilling to die. In my point of view, it’s very unfair!”


  “In that case, I should erase you, too.”


  The Sword Master retained his calm aura when he said that insignificant sentence. However, Jiang Liu groaned and went pale. His body started to tremble.

  He could feel someone crushing his body. Millions of Sword Qi almost ripped him apart. His life was in the hands of the Sword Master.

  Jiang Liu shut his eyes and held his sword tightly. He clenched his jaw and did not beg for mercy. He fully activated his Sword Intent. He knew that he was weak, but he had to shine as a sword cultivator!

  ‘You… Are forced to come and not be free. Three thousand visitors are full of flowers, fourteen states froze over, with one strike of the sword…’


  His mind replayed the poem. A halo shined all over him as he emitted blinding Sword Qi.

  The Sword Master was in awe. He commented, “Nice. You’re truly gifted in sword cultivation. You learned this state of mind in sword cultivation but it’s a shame that you’re still too much of an amateur in my eyes.”


  However, he suddenly sensed extreme danger.

  A string of words slowly floated out from Jiang Liu.

  It seemed to be summoned by Jiang Liu. It emitted a white light!

  “What’s that?”


  The pupils of the Sword Master dilated. An odd fear grew in his heart.

  However, he was daring and bold. He was not overpowered by fear.

  The words shined with power. It disrupted the confidence of the Sword Master. It shined in the air like the sun, becoming the center of attention.

  Then… The scroll slowly unfolded!

  It unscrolled itself a little and the world was filled with white light.

  It was the shine of a sword!

  The cold light blinded everyone, immersing them in a world of blinding white light. They could only see the words revealing themselves slowly.

  They were almost drunk in the Sword Intent. They imagined nothing else except a longsword!

  ‘Three thousand visitors are full of flowers, fourteen states froze over, with one strike of the sword.’


  “What’s this sword cultivation? How can it be so powerful?!

  “No, impossible! I’m an Elite! How can such a terrifying power exist?! Why?!”


  The Sword Master was frantic with fear. He was usually calm and collected because he was above it all. At that moment, he realized how puny he was. It was a power he could never reach!

  Everyone finally saw the fully revealed words. The longsword figure also solidified. That sword was the sword of the realm, the core of the world!

  It was sword cultivation to the extreme!

  The longsword slashed the Sword Master silently. It was as if it slashed through a blade of grass or a flower!

  “Argh—No!”


  The Sword Master yelled in despair. His body was like the freezing ice against the warm sun. He instantly melted and died!

  The light faded.

  The world was at peace again. It was as if that moment was nothing but a dream.

  The Sword Master and the writings were gone from the realm.

  Everyone looked at the empty air with respect. They could not snap out of it.

  “I’m alive?”


  “That…that scroll of words…”


  “So powerful, so terrifying! Who wrote that?”


  “The Old Sword Master of the Palm Sword Cliff… The Elite…died?”


  It was alright if he died, but he was killed by a writing scroll. It was too unreal.

  Everyone from the Palm Sword Cliff was stunned.

  The Old Sword Master was just revived. He was gone before he could brag?

  He had the power of nine lifetimes. He finally reincarnated but was not able to brag. The revival… Was too tragic…


  Jiang Liu was also stumped. He whispered, “The scroll given to me by the expert saved my life.”


  Everyone from the Heavenly Palace was also stunned. They flew toward Jiang Liu.

  They were slightly surprised, but they were used to it.

  Cultivator Junjun pondered and said, “As expected, the expert predicted everything. He gave you the scroll to protect you.”


  Yang Jing said, “But I didn’t expect it to kill the Elite. This is… So awesome.”


  “What a shame for the expert’s writings.” Jiang Liu was in pain. “I always treated it like a lesson from the expert.”


  Xiao Chengfeng said, “Cultivator Jiang, didn’t you see that ultimate sword just now? That sword’s in your heart. You can cultivate a sword to the extreme, too!”


  Jiang Liu sighed and said, “I knew that, but I still feel bad for wasting the expert’s writings.”


  “Where are you going?!”


  “Quick, stop them! Don’t let the Palm Sword Cliff cultivators escape!”


  There was a sudden commotion on the battlefield.

  Everyone from the Palm Sword Cliff was petrified. They were all pale. All they wanted to do was run.

  However, the cultivators from various forces would not allow it. They all attacked and captured them.

  Then, the leaders of various forces went over with friendly smiles. They bowed at Cultivator Junjun and the others with respect.

  A virtuous elder saluted and said, “Cultivators, we’re thankful that you showed up. Otherwise, we would probably be dead. You’re our saviors. Please, let me bow to you!”


  “Yeah, you guys are godsend heroes. You stopped this catastrophe. We hope you gain a lot of Deluxe Merits!”


  “If you ever need anything in the future, I’m yours to order.”


  Nobody dared to be disrespectful. Even the usually cold and arrogant Princess and Saintess had to be humble. They tried to befriend them.

  They went through a near-death experience, but they also experienced several miracles.

  The Garlic could help them detox. It could release poison gas like a backfire attack.

  The spray can could kill parasites. The rare treasures on them were also magical.

  Most importantly, the writings had unimaginable power. It left a deep impression on them. They wanted to worship them.

  Each item was beyond their imaginations. It was not something that could be owned by ordinary cultivators.

  Even fools could tell that the cultivators worked for an Elite. He must be extremely powerful!

  “Cultivators, I wonder who the writer is. We have no other intentions, we only want to give our proper thanks.”


  “Yeah, I’m not a gifted cultivator, but I’m willing to follow orders and help.”


  “This Elite should be famous.”


  Everyone fought to speak. It was obvious that they were trying to be bootlickers.

  “Shut up, do you think you’re worthy enough to know the expert’s name?” scolded Cultivator Junjun. He looked serious and stern.

  ‘I don’t even know the expert’s name…’


  “Also, the expert isn’t someone we can simply discuss or gossip about. The expert loves to lay low and stay humble. Don’t spread the news. Otherwise, no one can save you. Got it?!”


  “Sorry. We were out of line. You’re right to scold us, senior.”


  “We were too shallow and careless.”


  “I was oblivious. Please, forgive me, expert.”


  …
