Eternal Reverence - Chapter 785

The sword move, Unmoved, was actually comparable with Li Fuchen’s Sword Sea Horizon. In fact, in terms of sword dao level, it was far beyond the Sword Sea Horizon.

It was unfortunate that Li Fuchen could withstand the attack of Unmoved, while the Emotionless Sword Emperor couldn’t withstand the attack of Sword Sea Horizon.

The Emotionless Sword Emperor wasn’t a body refinement emperor, even if he was a body refinement emperor, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it too.

A regular body refinement emperor’s defense was negligible when facing such attacks.

“Li Fuchen has such a tough defense. The Emotionless Sword Emperor’s attack actually couldn’t injure him.”

“He is at least a completion level body refinement emperor.”

“That’s right, both attacks might have been weakened mutually, but even if only 15% of the power remained, it wouldn’t be so easy to withstand it too. The Emotionless Sword Emperor is a good example.”

“The Emotionless Sword Emperor didn’t lose for no reason. Even the Sword Emperor and Sword Sovereign wouldn’t be able to deal with Li Fuchen.”

Everyone was shocked.

Li Fuchen’s sword dao strength was already so terrifying, but his body refinement strength had also reached such a high level. How was anyone going to win him? Let alone having a comparable strength with Li Fuchen, even if the opponent had a superior strength, it was also difficult to defeat Li Fuchen.

“If I don’t eliminate this child today, it will be hard to do so in the future.”

Inside the top-class private room which gathered the Gao clansmen, the River Snap Saint knitted his brows tightly. He didn’t know if dealing with Li Fuchen was a wise choice. He was naturally able to kill Li Fuchen, but if he couldn’t, the consequences would be detrimental.

“Dual cultivation of sword dao and body refinement!” Inside a mid-class private room, the Devil Sovereign had a grave expression.

On the extreme dao mountain, he had exchanged moves with Li Fuchen. But back then, Li Fuchen didn’t use his sword dao strength and used his body refinement strength instead.

Therefore, the Devil Sovereign knew better than everyone that Li Fuchen’s body refinement strength was stronger than everyone’s imagination. During that battle, Li Fuchen was only slightly inferior to the Devil Sovereign.

If Li Fuchen’s sword dao strength was comparable with his body refinement strength, the Devil Sovereign wouldn’t have so many thoughts. However, Li Fuchen’s sword dao strength was obviously superior to his body refinement strength. Even though the Devil Sovereign had a breakthrough on the extreme dao mountain, he didn’t have any confidence to defeat Li Fuchen.

“The sword dao isn’t a lonely path. Even the Sword Emperor would feel pressure!” The Sword Sovereign grinned and had intense battle intent.

In the past, the Sword Sovereign was the only person on the same level as the Sword Emperor. But to be serious, he was still lacking quite a bit as compared to the Sword Emperor. Furthermore, he never knew if the Sword Emperor had used his full strength yet.

Right now, there were suddenly two individuals who were comparable with the Sword Sovereign, and it made him rather excited.

They might not be able to threaten the Sword Emperor now, but after a period of time, everything would be unknown.

Li Fuchen’s face had a flash of admiration while standing on the martial stage.

The Emotionless Sword Emperor’s sword move was nearly stronger than his Sect Origin Sword in terms of sword dao level. If the Emotionless Sword Emperor had the sword heart, Li Fuchen might not be a match even if he executed the Sect Origin Sword.

It was a pity that the Emotionless Sword Emperor didn’t have the sword heart.

The difference between having and not having the sword heart was extreme.

Without the sword heart, it wouldn’t be possible to control the sword dao law perfectly. With the sword heart, one would have full control of the sword dao law.

As for the reason why Li Fuchen didn’t use the Sect Origin Sword to defeat the Emotionless Sword Emperor in a clean manner, he had his own considerations.

There were too many spectators in the Swordsmen Tournament and there might be formidable enemies. Once he revealed all of his trumps, it would only be disadvantageous to him. Even if he still had the Hand of God.

Of course, if Li Fuchen couldn’t defeat the Emotionless Sword Emperor with the Sword Sea Horizon, Li Fuchen would still execute the Sect Origin Sword.

He was determined to take the 1st rank of the Swordsmen Tournament.

“This year’s Swordsmen Tournament is truly surprising. Tiger Fang Sword Saint, you may go and announce the result!” The Mystic Deep Sword Saint smiled.

“Sure.”

The Tiger Fang Sword Saint flashed and instantly exited the supreme private room.

In the sky, the Tiger Fang Sword Saint stood straight and announced, “This year’s Swordsmen Tournament has ended nicely. The ones that are qualified to enter the Sword World are Li Fuchen, Ning Que, Li Jianxin, Xiao Yuan, Tang Xing, Murong Youyu, Liu Huo, Song Shanhe, Yuwen Haojie, and Zhu Lang.”

For the Swordsmen Tournament top 10, apart from being able to enter the Sword World, there were great amounts of guild points as reward. The 1st place would obtain five million guild points, the 2nd place would have two million guild points, the 3rd place would get one million guild points. The 4th to 10th place would get 500 thousand guild points.

As for the 11th to 20th place, they might not be able to enter the Sword World, but they would still be rewarded with 500 thousand guild points. They would also be able to receive guidance from sword dao saints in a group. The guidance from a sword dao saint might not be comparable to a visit into the Sword World, but it was already 100 times or even 1000 times better than all the others.

“It is finally over. This year’s Swordsmen Tournament is truly filled with twists and turns!”

“Isn’t that right? Li Fuchen clearly has the shadow of the Sword Emperor while Li Jianxin has the shadow of the Sword Sovereign. It is a pity for the Emotionless Sword Emperor and the Heart Sword Sovereign.”

“In my opinion, the Emotionless Sword Emperor is already comparable with the Sword Sovereign. Only the Sword Emperor is able to stand at the pinnacle of the sword dao circle. The others aren’t that stable.”

“Mm, yes. Apart from the Sword Emperor, be it the Sword Sovereign, the Emotionless Sword Emperor, or Li Fuchen, they aren’t competent enough to convince everyone. Of course, Li Fuchen is definitely the most qualified to challenge the Sword Emperor.”

Everyone was still rather respectful towards the Sword Emperor, after all, during his year’s Swordsmen Tournament, the Sword Emperor took the 1st place with absolute strength. Even the Sword Sovereign wasn’t a threat to him.

Once the tournament ended, everyone started to leave.

Li Fuchen and the rest of the top 10 followed the Tiger Fang Sword Saint to visit the Swordsmen Guild headquarters.

The Swordsmen Guild headquarters had a garden within. The Tiger Fang Sword Saint didn’t open up the Sword World immediately. He was waiting for the Sword Emperor and the Sword Saint to arrive.

“Shangguan Jiuli pays his respects to the sword saint.”

Shortly after, a young man arrived.

The young man wore a golden crown and had a stalwart figure. His qi presence wasn’t prominent, but when he walked, he gave off a sovereign aura. Everyone here were the elites of the sword dao circle and could see that the sovereign aura wasn’t the authoritative kind, it was a distinctive sword dao aura.

This young man was none other than the 2nd ranker on the Sword Emperor Rankings, and the 7th ranker on the Great Emperor Rankings, the Sword Sovereign Shangguan Jiuli.

The Tiger Fang Sword Saint smiled, “Shangguan Jiuli, if you don’t comprehend the sword dao completely in this visit to the Sword World, you will probably be surpassed.”

Shangguan Jiuli let out a faint smile and said confidently, “I have watched the Swordsmen Tournament and it is indeed exciting. But the path of the sword dao is a never ending path. A moment of glory means nothing. I shall be waiting for them in the distant future.”

Without absolute confidence, he couldn’t become a sovereign of the sword. Li Fuchen and the others were indeed strong, but it wasn’t so easy to stand firmly in the sword dao circle. A few dozen years ago, the Sword Emperor Rankings’ 1st and 2nd rankers weren’t him and the Sword Emperor. But the two of them were the ones that everyone remembered in the end, and that clearly stated something.

The Tiger Fang Sword Saint nodded and looked at the entrance of the garden. There was a thin young man with a straight back and black clothes that walked over.

The black-clothed young man had indifferent and cold eyes. It was different from the Emotionless Sword Emperor’s indifferent and emotionless eyes. It was also different from Li Jianxin’s cold and prideful eyes. It was a transcending kind of indifferent and cold feeling.

“This person should be the Sword Emperor Mo Hen.”

Li Fuchen’s eyes landed on the black-clothed young man.

“Mm?”

Just a glance was enough for Li Fuchen to feel the power of the Sword Emperor. When the Sword Emperor walked over, it felt as though the spatial zone was distorted. The heaven and earth law was gradually shattered. Li Fuchen was certain that the Sword Emperor did use his sword intent and qi. Just the mere emission of qi presence was already creating such a horrific phenomenon.
