Eternal Reverence Chapter 699– Sword Emperor

Chapter 699: Sword Emperor

The Skull Great Emperor was in a seclusion previously as he was planning to completely refine the White Bone Saint Crown.

It was unfortunate as the White Bone Saint Crown was still a heaven class high-tier cardinal artifact after all. Most importantly, its main material was the bone of a saint. It was basically impossible to refine it without dozens to a hundred years. Until now, the Skull Great Emperor had only refined it to around 50% and was only able to use 20% to 30% of its effects. If it was completely refined, no one would be a match for him in the Heaven Pillar Continent, including the Heaven Pillar Great Emperor.

With the support of the White Bone Saint Crown, the Skull Great Emperor's strength increased drastically. The Heaven Fire Doyen was in a miserable state and suffered some injuries,

“Heaven Fire Guild Master, leave the Skull Great Emperor to me. Please deal with the Zombie Great Emperor.” Li Fuchen suggested.

“Alright.”

The Heaven Fire Doyen knew that this wasn't the moment to act strong and quickly flew over to Li Fuchen's side.

“Who said you can leave?” The Skull Great Emperor executed a palm strike that looked like a series of bone waves at the Heaven Fire Doyen.

“Extinguish!”

Li Fuchen slashed with his sword, producing a giant translucent blade to cleave the bone waves apart.

The Skull Great Emperor might be powerful, but Li Fuchen's attack power had also reached the extremity of great emperors and was actually beyond great emperors. It was enough to withstand the Skull Great Emperor's attack.

“Kid, you came just in time.”

The Skull Great Emperor's body shook a little and a dreadful field extended out.

Just by using the technique field, the Skull Great Emperor wouldn't be able to stop Li Fuchen from using his sword shift. But with the support of the White Bone Saint Crown, the field power was enhanced and if Li Fuchen wanted to use his sword shift, it would definitely be slower.

When feeling the pressure from the Skull Great Emperor's field power, Li Fuchen immediately released his divine flame sword energy field too. With the enhancement from the sword heart, Li Fuchen's divine flame sword energy field was extremely powerful. It was comparable with a great emperor's field, but as compared to the Skull Great Emperor's field, it was still inferior and rather helpless.

“No wonder the Heaven Fire Doyen couldn't withstand.” Li Fuchen understood.

“Lay down.” The Skull Great Emperor circulated the White Bone Saint Crown's power frenziedly and slammed a palm at Li Fuchen.

“Just in time.” Li Fuchen didn't have any fear and slashed with the Joint-Heaven Sword.

Boom!

Li Fuchen was sent back by a few miles, while the Skull Great Emperor remained in place.

In terms of attack power, Li Fuchen was still slightly inferior to the Skull Great Emperor.

“Devil Skull Rampage!”

The Skull Great Emperor executed another palm strike.

This palm strike was the signature move from the Devil Skull Palm. Devilish qi overflowed while skeleton shadows were marching over.

Bang!

Li Fuchen was sent back by another seven or eight miles.

“Devil Skull Extinction!”

There was a sharp yell as the Skull Great Emperor executed the ultimate kill move of the Devil Skull Palm.

This was a move that the Skull Great Emperor didn't even use on the Heaven Fire Doyen.

Roar!

In the void, a devil skeleton illusion appeared and it roared before blasting a palm strike at Li Fuchen.

In the face of this palm strike, everything lost its significance. There was only death and destruction.

This time, Li Fuchen was sent flying as the Void Heaven Sword Art couldn't' withstand the Devil Skull Palm's kill move at all.

“It should be over right?” The Skull Great Emperor looked at Li Fuchen who was sent flying.

Li Fuchen didn't fly for long and forcefully stopped himself after flying for a few dozen miles.

“Not injured?” The Skull Great Emperor raised his brows and was bewildered.

He was confident that his palm strike could even deal severe injuries to the Heaven Fire Doyen. Li Fuchen might be strong, but his cultivation was still low and his survivability shouldn't be better than the Heaven Fire Doyen, therefore Li Fuchen should have been severely injured.

But from the looks of Li Fuchen's reaction, there weren't any signs of injuries and only a slight stir in his qi blood.

“It is fortunate that I have the law field on the surface of my body.”

If Li Fuchen was only a regular body refinement emperor at the initial level, this palm strike would have injured him.

It was a pity that Li Fuchen wasn't a regular body refinement emperor at the initial level. Furthermore, Li Fuchen had already used the Void Heaven Sword Art to cancel out most of the force, leaving a small portion of the force to be evenly distributed across his body.

“It is my turn, Void Reality.”

Li Fuchen brandished his sword and instantly emitted an illusory sword light that was like gauze.

The Skull Great Emperor couldn't even dodge in time as Li Fuchen's sword move was omnidirectional. There wasn't any method to dodge, unless he executed the skull shift. However, the Skull Great Emperor had a feeling that even if he used the skull shift, he still wouldn't be able to dodge the sword light.

In terms of difficulty, the Void Heaven Sword Art's first move, Void Reality was harder to avoid than the second move, Blade of Void. However, the latter had great lethality.

Bang Bang Bang Bang…

The Skull Great Emperor was constantly stepping back as there was a radiance at the surface of his body that was resonating.

With the White Bone Saint Crown, the Skull Great Emperor didn't suffer any injury.

“Meteor Fall.”

Right at this moment, Li Fuchen turned into a streak of light and vanished.

Boom!

The Skull Great Emperor's body shook violently and even appeared with a crack that flashed and vanished.

As for Li Fuchen, he was already behind the Skull Great Emperor.

“Such speed. No, the flow of time has gotten slower.” The Skull Great Emperor was astonished.

Li Fuchen's Void Heaven Sword Art might be incredible, but it would still stir the spatial zone. As long as there was a stir in the spatial zone, the Skull Great Emperor was able to sense it.

However, Li Fuchen's Meteor Sword Art was purely and extremely fast.

When facing such speed, not even the senses would have time to react.

“Such a powerful defense, it is even tougher than the Zombie Great Emperor.”

After reaching the 3rd level of Law Phase Realm, Li Fuchen's Meteor Sword Art reached a whole new level.

It might be a heaven class high-tier sword move previously, but when executing it, the effects were still restricted.

Now that his cultivation had a breakthrough, when Li Fuchen executed Meteor Fall, he felt as though he was the meteor and the sword light itself.

It was at the extremity of the Union of Man and Sword.

Li Fuchen had already achieved the Union of Man and Sword, however, there wasn't a limit to this union.

The initial stage would be the union of man and sword, but in the later stages, it would be the union of man and sword dao law.

Or it could be said to the union of heaven and man.

Heaven naturally meant the great dao.

Li Fuchen's speed was too fast and the Skull Great Emperor couldn't catch Li Fuchen's trajectory at all. He had no choice but to repeatedly get attacked.

It was fortunate that the White Bone Saint Crown gave him additional defense, otherwise, he would have already been injured.

“Such an incredible Union of Man and Sword. This world has an additional Sword Emperor.”

The Heaven Fire Doyen was impressed and in admiration as he fought with the Zombie Great Emperor.

The Heaven Pillar Continent did produce extremely incredible sword dao great emperors, but during the past millennium, no one was qualified to be called Sword Emperor.

After all, there were plenty of people that used the sword and in order to receive the title of Sword Emperor, one would need to see their proficiency.

If the Sword Emperor title couldn't bring one any honor and wouldn't be acknowledged by others, then there wasn't a need for such a title.

“Skull Boundary.”

Receiving a beating wasn't the Skull Great Emperor's style. His left hand grasped at the void and created a giant boundary to envelop Li Fuchen and himself.

“Divine ability?” Li Fuchen narrowed his eyes.

At the great emperor's level, regular divine abilities would be of much use.

Even if an 8-star bone frame pattern was comprehended to the extremity, the divine ability's power would only be at the emperor's level and not even at the great emperor's level.

Only an 8-star special bone frame would have a divine ability that was superior to great emperors.

It was obvious that the Skull Great Emperor's bone frame was the 8-star special bone frame, skull bone frame. The skull divine ability that he comprehended was naturally powerful.

Without any sound and presence, the Skull Great Emperor vanished and when he reappeared, he was already behind Li Fuchen.

Within the Skull Boundary, the Skull Great Emperor was able to shift around instantly as he pleased. This was even better than the skull shift. Most importantly, it would produce any spatial wave.

Clang!

The sword light twisted as Li Fuchen clashed with the Skull Great Emperor.

Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang…

In the dusky Skull Boundary, a sword light and a black shadow was frenziedly clashing.

Li Fuchen's spiritual awareness was too formidable. Even if he was in the boundary, he was still able to predict the Skull Great Emperor's attack in advance.

When in the Union of Man and Sword, Li Fuchen didn't worry he would be suppressed by the Skull Great Emperor. Everytime he was pushed back, his sword light would turn back and cover up the difference.

Li Fuchen and the Skull Great Emperor were in an intense battle, on the other side, the Zombie Great Emperor and the Heaven Fire Doyen were also evenly matched.

None was able to take the upperhand.

As for Yan Qingwu, she had already retreated to the side and was standing guard against the Skull Army.

Crackle!

The Skull Boundary cracked open, allowing everyone to see Li Fuchen and the Skull Great Emperor.

“You are rather good.” The Skull Great Emperor's voice was deep and there was a trace of helplessness and fury.

He had already used all of his trump cards and still wasn't able to deal with Li Fuchen.

It was fine if Li Fuchen was the Heaven Pillar Great Emperor, but Li Fuchen was a junior that had recently progressed into the Law Phase Realm.

“You aren't bad too. You have a reputation for a reason.”

Li Fuchen knew of his situation. He had certain aspects that were far too outstanding and were far beyond the great emperors. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a match for the Skull Great Emperor.

“Hmph!”

Without wasting words, the Skull Great Emperor left with the Skull Army.

He might not be able to deal with Li Fuchen now, but once he refined the White Bone Saint Crown to a certain degree, he was confident he could take down two Li Fuchens.

Once the Skull Great Emperor left, the Zombie Great Emperor didn't dare to stay behind and scuttled away with the Flying Corpse Emperor.

“Many thanks for Young Hero Li and Young Lady Yan's help.” Yang Deng and Yang Long flew over and cupped their fists respectfully.

Without Li Fuchen and Yan Qingwu, even if the Heaven Fire Doyen was here, the Yang Clan would have been exterminated.

The Skull Great Emperor might have been here because of Li Fuchen, but when investigating the root cause, it would be due to the Yang Clan.

“Young Hero Li's sword art is unparalleled. This old one is in admiration.” The Heaven Fire Doyen had also cupped his fist.

Li Fuchen said, “This is because the Heaven Fire Guild Master is holding the Zombie Great Emperor back. If I have to fight two of them, I will probably lose.”

The Heaven Fire Doyen let out an awkward smile. He wasn't holding back the Zombie Great Emperor, he wasn't able to contest with the Skull Great Emperor, therefore, he had no choice but to switch his opponent to the Zombie Great Emperor. Not wanting to harp on this topic, the Heaven Fire Doyen said, “Young Hero Li's sword art is unparalleled and should have a title. In my opinion, Young Hero Li is worthy of the title of Sword Emperor. It has been over a thousand years since there is a Sword Emperor in the Heaven Pillar Continent. Young Hero Li might not be from the Heaven Pillar Continent, but no matter where you are from, you are still worthy to be the Sword Emperor.”

“That's right, only Young Hero Li is worthy of being the Sword Emperor.”

“Why are you still calling him Young Hero Li? It should be the Sword Emperor.”

Yang Deng and Yang Long quickly responded.

Li Fuchen didn't accept or refuse. The Sword Emperor was just a title, and it was just a conventional greeting. As for what others called him, it would be up to them.

Of course, in his heart, Li Fuchen didn't think he was worthy for the title of Sword Emperor.

The battle between great emperors was resounding and in just a few days, it spread out to the upper echelons of the Heaven Pillar Continent.

At the same time, Li Fuchen's title as Sword Emperor had also spread throughout the continent.
