Chapter 366 To Dominate the World with One Sword Stroke
Cloud was keenly aware of the signal that someone had landed at the headquarters of the Samsara Palace from a high alt.i.tude.
The signal was a small red dot.
It was a color that did not belong to the signal of its side. It appeared on the screen of Cloud, flashing constantly, and finally merged wholly with the dense signals from the headquarters of the Samsara Palace, completely stationary.
Xuan Ming, who was standing behind w.a.n.g Tianzong, was a little excited but also had a sense of complexity and tension of getting involved in the general trend.
He hadn’t expected that after three days of waiting, His Majesty had actually found his prey.
Was it the Master of Samsara Palace?
If the one who returned to the headquarters was the Master of Samsara Palace, what did that mean?
Within a few days of the collapse of the Polar Ground Alliance, the Samsara Palace would be destroyed entirely?
From the fall of the Night Spirit three years ago, the final battle in Heaven Capital, the three-year chaos in the Dark World, the collapse of the Polar Ground Alliance, to the powerful Eastern Europeans fighting for supremacy today, if the Samsara Palace were destroyed today, how chaotic would the Dark World be?
He gave a subconscious glance at w.a.n.g Tianzong.
w.a.n.g Tianzong’s expression was calm and indifferent.
He did not know whether the latest signal was the Master of Samsara Palace.
But he could check it.
“Have a look,” said w.a.n.g Tianzong.
Xuan Ming picked up the intercom in the submarine and ordered.
The w.a.n.g family of Beihai’s technicians, who had been busy for several days and only needed to finish the last step, hacked the network of the headquarters of the Samsara Palace almost immediately.
The firewall of the Samsara Palace’s headquarters reacted violently. The alarm sounds and warning signals appeared on every computer in the headquarters. The whole process took less than three seconds, and then the screen in front of w.a.n.g Tianzong’s eyes suddenly turned black.
The Samsara Palace’s headquarters had completely cut off the network.
This process was short.
But w.a.n.g Tianzong had seen what he wanted to see.
A helicopter was parked in the middle of the island in the Samsara Palace’s headquarters.
Next to the helicopter, a woman, weak in the aura and wrapped in a cloak, stood there.
The island was illuminated by lights bright enough to disperse the darkness.
Her figure stood in the light, a little fuzzy and yet a little dazzling.
w.a.n.g Tianzong narrowed his eyes.
All the calmness and indifference completely disappeared from him.
He stood silently, but with a sense of indescribable sharpness.
His grievances with the Li family many years ago, his friendship with the Lin Clan, the losses he suffered after he attacked Li Honghe, the anger he had after Summer Solstice was seriously injured by the sneak attack, and the threat that Li Tianlan, someone talented like the Chosen One, posed to him…
Everything was buried deep in his heart.
After three days of meditation, his sword intent had reached its real peak.
w.a.n.g Tianzong turned slowly.
“Be careful, Your Majesty.”
Xuan Ming took a deep breath and said cautiously, “Even now, we cannot rule out the Samsara Palace’s headquarters as a trap.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong smiled and did not speak.
He was Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State. With one sword in hand, he could crush all the traps and plots in the world.
The headquarters of the Samsara Palace had no day or night.
The light seemed to surround this delicate island forever.
The sunlight faded.
The lights appeared.
The dazzling light shrouded every corner of the island, showing everything.
Neither night nor stars could be seen here.
The only thing here was light.
The light had alternated three days and nights on the island.
Countless beams of light slowly whirled around the island, illuminating the sky and penetrating the ocean. The beams of light flowed in the night, with psychedelic trajectories.
The helicopter landed at the highest point of the entire island.
This area, which could be regarded as the tarmac, was small but extremely flat.
The poor woman covered in a black cloak stood quietly at the highest spot of the Samsara Palace’s headquarters, overlooking the entire headquarters.
The headquarters of the Samsara Palace was extremely beautiful.
But the lights were so pale that everything they shone on lost the colors they should have.
She stood silently for a long time.
A few figures slowly came over, bathed in the light of the island.
They came behind her and bowed silently.
The wind blew on the island.
Her black cloak fluttered in the wind, a little impressive.
Under the pale light, clad in black, she was like a little black spot that should not have appeared.
“How are things going?” she suddenly asked in the night wind, her voice stiff.
A man with a long sword on his back took one step forward and answered calmly, “The Demon Legion had evacuated a week ago. Most of our researchers have also left, and everything is ready.”
The man was dressed as white as snow and seemed to blend in perfectly with the glare of the lights. He was extremely good-looking, with long hair over the shoulders that was unusual among men.
The night breeze stirred his hair up, and the long sword behind him trembled slightly. He carried an extraordinary air of masculinity and unruliness.
He was Swordsman, one of the 12 Super Masters of the Samsara Palace.
She turned around and glanced at Swordsman.
She also glanced at the others.
All the people around Swordsman were experts who were famous in the Dark World.
Asura, Super Master of the Samsara Palace.
Azure Dragon, Super Master of the Samsara Palace.
Doctor, Super Master of the Samsara Palace.
In addition, there were several heavyweights who were not Super Masters but were not inferior to Super Masters in the Samsara Palace.
She asked, “Aren’t you leaving?”
Everyone said in unison, “We’re willing to die for Your Highness.”
This time, they did not bow, and every one of them stood straight in front of her, looking calm.
Under the cloak, she turned and looked at the undulating and rotating beams of light over the Samsara Palace’s headquarters.
The beams of light shook the night with a subtle frequency, blurred and dreamy.
Inside the cloak, her eyes changed from blurred to cold.
She lowered her head and looked at the sea surface.
The sea surface was glistening with lights.
Her eyes seemed to cross the surface of the sea and land in the depths of the sea.
“It’s right there.”
She reached out and pointed at the sea.
“Boom…”
The whole sea suddenly quaked.
There seemed to be unimaginably powerful force surging at the bottom of the sea. Like a mighty mountain, the tremendous power penetrated the seawater with incredible fury and might.
The whole island seemed to be trembling.
All the eyes were fixed on the sea surface in an instant. It was as if they were going to penetrate the seabed.
The seabed was not the bottom.
There was water both five hundred meters above and below.
The tremendous pressure came from all directions and seemed to wipe out w.a.n.g Tianzong’s vitality thoroughly.
The environment in the deep sea was tranquil.
w.a.n.g Tianzong stood in the water as if on flat ground. The whole sea was surging silently. He could feel the crisp sounds of his bones crunching under the impact of the seawater and the sharp pain of being torn apart and crushed at any moment.
But his eyes remained calm, without any emotion at all.
The calm but terrifying currents of the deep sea went south.
w.a.n.g Tianzong’s feet were like anchors nailed in the deep sea. He stood firmly, adapting to the pressure that almost choked him, and remained motionless.
The sword intent stirred the seawater with difficulty.
A sword domain of several meters appeared around w.a.n.g Tianzong’s body.
w.a.n.g Tianzong neither moved nor breathed.
Tides whizzed past his body.
Gradually adapting to this pressure, w.a.n.g Tianzong slowly took a step in the seawater.
The seawater was heading south.
He was, however, heading north.
As he went against the water, all the overwhelming water pressure seemed to become his power in an instant.
He stopped his pace.
The whole sea area surged instantly.
The deep seawater, centered on w.a.n.g Tianzong, turned immediately into the white waves all over the deep sea. An immense amount of seawater utterly twisted in the sheer fury of the sword intent and the power. The small-scaled submarine “Cloud” was pushed straight out by the distorted seawater.
The unimaginable force spread from the bottom of the sea to the sea surface. The sea, where the tide had ebbed, began to fluctuate and wave continuously.
w.a.n.g Tianzong took the second step forward.
His movements were extremely slow, but his strength and sword intent grew stronger.
w.a.n.g Tianzong clutched the long sword in his hand.
It was the sharpest famous sword of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai nowadays.
It was called Listen to the Sea.
To listen to the sea in the deep sea.
w.a.n.g Tianzong finished taking the third step.
His eyes were instantly focused.
In the madly stifling seawater, he suddenly thought of his life and the glory of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai that lasted for hundreds of years.
He thought of many people, including Summer Solstice, w.a.n.g Shengxiao, w.a.n.g Yuetong, w.a.n.g Xiaoyao, Li Honghe, Li Kuangtu, Lin Fengting…
Too many people.
He had a beauty as well as strong enemies at his side. He was unrivaled and powerful.
What did he ask for in his life?
He finished taking the fourth step.
The sword domain composed of pure Sword Energy was expanding wildly, squeezing the seawater.
Water was the softest but also the strongest.
The moment the infinite seawater was pushed out, it came back with even greater momentum.
w.a.n.g Tianzong maintained the sword domain with difficulty, teetering.
His body seemed to be breaking, and he was having difficulty breathing.
The feeling was so familiar.
In a trance, w.a.n.g Tianzong laughed with great clarity.
He thought of what he asked for.
Everything he had done in his life, including all sins as well as despicable, insidious, and shameless acts, was to protect the honor of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.
The honor and cultural resources that had lasted for hundreds of years were so powerful, abundant, and heavy.
Heavier than seawater.
He would not allow anyone to spoil such honor and majesty.
He grasped the hilt of Listen to the Sea.
He finished taking the fifth step.
He drew out the sword!
The bright edge of the sword pointed upward.
His figure was rising.
w.a.n.g Tianzong’s eyes were focused. There was no emotion in his eyes, only the sword intent.
Samsara Palace?
No.
He wanted the world to behold this sword stroke.
The Polar Ground Alliance collapsed. So what?
Drastic changes occurred in Eastern Europe. So what?
The w.a.n.g family of Beihai had hidden danger. So what?
At his peak, everyone was nonent.i.ty facing his sword.
The blade was unsheathed little by little.
His figure rose little by little in the seawater.
The speed was slow, but the atmosphere was unusually heavy.
At this moment, Sword Emperor and his sword seemed to stir the whole world.
The world was suddenly silent.
Above the Samsara Palace’s headquarters, the fantastic and blurred beams of light were still swirling around, covering the entire island.
The island was shaking.
As far as the eye could see, the sea area, at least within a distance of ten thousand meters or more, was surging like crazy in a flash in everyone’s horrified eyes.
The vast sea, under the influence of the tremendous power, was continually shaking, stirring up monstrous billows. The wind ceased entirely in the air, and the whole world seemed to become a world of extreme violence and silence.
The vibration of the island was silent.
The waves rolled without making a sound.
The few Super Masters of the Samsara opened their mouths but couldn’t make a sound.
There was only sword intent in the air.
The sword intent rushed out of the deep sea.
It then fell from the sky.
Every corner of the vast world was full of sword intent!
The sea surface shook more violently. The shimmering sea surface gradually changed color, and the flashing light gradually became pure white. The mighty force thoroughly stirred the seawater within a distance of 10,000 meters.
The seawater began to rise silently, spilling over the edge of the island.
Everyone could only watch this scene helplessly.
In silence, they felt indescribable powerlessness and despair.
“Boom!”
The sound resembling the world breaking rang out suddenly the moment the sea surface surged to its limit.
The heaven rent asunder, and the earth cracked. The sound was enough to wake the dead.
No one could see the figure of w.a.n.g Tianzong.
All that was before them was the sea.
The completely overturned sea!
The sea area within a distance of tens of thousands of meters went up at the same time together with the sword intent, which was breaking out madly. The seawater rose continuously, hitting the sky!
What did “the great ocean stretched away to meet the sky” mean?
It was not the scene as far as the eye could see.
Amidst the roaring bang, the infinite water on the sea surface was like a mountain that suddenly rose from the sea. The mountain was ten thousand meters high. With fierce sword intent, it marched into the sky.
It was right before their eyes but too high to see the edge.
Infinite sword intent.
An endless wave.
The wild wave, like the great pillar of heaven, seemed to reach to the end of the sky, and then fell wildly down.
The sword intent that erupted in an instant wholly integrated with the giant wave.
The torrents dashed down thirty thousand feet from high!
Under the Sword Energy, there was nothing but destruction.
It was the full outbreak of Zhongzhou Sword Emperor and also his most mighty sword stroke.
It surpa.s.sed the sword intent that fought Deity in Heaven Capital.
It, too, surpa.s.sed the Twenty-fifth Blade on the night sky of Lin’an.
The Sword Energy formed a strong airstream of ten thousand meters long.
Six Paths of Reincarnation.
w.a.n.g Tianzong dominated the world with a single sword!
The Sword Energy that extended ten thousand meters fell from the sky. The heaven and the earth seemed to be spinning. There was nothing but a sword in the world!
The light in the Samsara Palace’s headquarters whirled in a quake. It illuminated the sky, the mountain-like, monstrous, and towering wave, and the sword.
This sword was like a mountain, as well as the canopy of heaven.
The sword stroke displayed by the most powerful Invincible Realm expert.
“Boom!”
Countless beams of light rotated on the island, and in an instant, a large cloud of smoke and fire appeared in all corners of the Samsara Palace.
All weapons at the headquarters of the Samsara Palace fired at the same time.
Among the smoke, the lightning was dim blue. All the masters of the Thunder-shocking Realm were going all out, regardless of life and death.
Billows, Sword Energy, sparks, and lightning met in the air. Amidst the billowing smoke, the blurred and dreamy beams of light were still spinning. The waves on the deep sea surged like crazy. The light was scattered over the island. Smoke, light, and sword intent covered everything, and the whole island seemed to disappear completely.
All the artillery fire and sword intent shattered wholly in the plummeting Sword Energy.
The giant wave condensed by the sword intent spurted water to all directions, but the spray condensed and did not disperse. It would maintain the motion after falling. Instead of dissipating, the sword intent grew stronger.
Hundreds of thousands of beams of light on the island of the Samsara Palace suddenly went out, and suddenly lit up.
Those beams of light intertwined.
Between the shift of light and darkness, a silent but sharp sword light suddenly lit up.
The Sword Energy and giant wave continuously moved up and down between heaven and earth.
And the suddenly lit sword light seemed to traverse the world.
The extremely condensed sword light was like a crescent moon that exceeded a kilometer. With the sword intent lingering around, every arc of the crescent moon was naturally aesthetic and mighty.
The sword light was still falling.
In a split second, a huge arc of light that was thousands of meters broke out of the encirclement of smoke and raging fire, flew out of the island, and rushed straight into the sea.
The sword light, with indomitable fierceness and resolution, struck fiercely on the colossal wave connecting the world.
The giant wave 10,000 meters high gave a sudden jolt.
w.a.n.g Tianzong, standing at the highest place, also trembled.
The next moment, the huge arc of light suddenly broke, and the sword intent diffused.
The momentum of w.a.n.g Tianzong’s move named Six Paths of Reincarnation weakened as well.
But no matter how weak it was, it was Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The great wave that connected heaven and earth seemed to have changed and yet didn’t seem to have any difference.
The endless stream of seawater rose into the air and then fell from the sky with tremendous sword intent.
Water was the softest.
But the water in the sword intent was as cold as ice and as hard as steel.
The majestic Sword Energy fully plummeted in the center of the Samsara Palace.
The heaven and the earth shook!
All the light on the island disappeared instantly.
The Sword Energy broke into the island from a high alt.i.tude, pierced it, and went straight into the deep sea.
The entire island cracked in the continuous loud noise. A glow of spray and Sword Energy burst forth at the very center of the island. The Sword Energy penetrated the whole island, and the landma.s.s of the island broke apart in an instant. The dust and rocks kept flying, spreading all over the island from the very center.
Super Masters of the Samsara.
The woman in a cloak.
Beautiful buildings.
Flowers, trees, beaches, weapons…
The remains of everything drifted profusely and disorderly in the sword intent.
The 10,000-meter wave finally fell and hit the wreckage of the island hard.
The island shook with a loud crash and sank entirely into the deep ocean.
The surging seawater drowned the entire headquarters of the Samsara Palace, and there was no trace of the latter anymore.
w.a.n.g Tianzong’s body shook violently in the air. Because he had no energy left, his face was a little pale.
But the entire island was completely turned into dust by his sword. A small amount of debris had also sunk into the bottom of the sea.
Countless bodies floated in the seawater and then sank.
w.a.n.g Tianzong took a deep breath and grasped his sword Listen to the Sea tightly.
The distant submarine code-named Cloud had surfaced and rushed toward w.a.n.g Tianzong at full speed.
w.a.n.g Tianzong slowly landed on the submarine and entered the cabin.
“Your Majesty!”
Xuan Ming rushed up to w.a.n.g Tianzong at once, as if trying to support him.
w.a.n.g Tianzong’s power erupted too thoroughly. He seemed to be weak and pale.
But Xuan Ming’s eyes were full of irrational worship and fanaticism as he looked at him.
“I’m fine.”
w.a.n.g Tianzong looked through the submarine at the sea where nothing was there.
He held the sword Listen to the Sea in his hand and was silent for a long time.
Xuan Ming stood with excitement beside him, resisting his desire to speak.
That sword stroke was the mightiest one he had ever seen.
What was His Majesty, who had executed it, thinking at this moment?
w.a.n.g Tianzong suddenly spoke, “Xuan Ming.”
“Yes.”
Xuan Ming straightened up subconsciously.
w.a.n.g Tianzong looked out the window, his eyes dim. He was silent for a long time before he spoke softly, “People say that the Four Realms of Martial Arts are the foundation and that the Invincible Realm is the limit. What do you think is above the Invincible Realm?”
Xuan Ming’s body shook, and suddenly, he felt cold inside.
w.a.n.g Tianzong shook his head and said softly, “Go to Huating.”
The submarine quietly left.
There were no lights on the sea, and it became dark again.
The tall figure wrapped in a black cloak had been dead for a long time.
Her body was almost completely broken, and her limbs were incomplete. Her broken body rose and fell in the sea, lifeless.
Another submarine gradually emerged from the sea.
A diver jumped out of the submarine, swam into the deep sea, picked up the body wrapped in the cloak, and dragged it into the submarine.
There was a small conference room inside the submarine.
Qin Weibai and Lin Fengting sat face to face, and Flaming Fire stood behind Qin Weibai as always.
Only three of them.
There was a screen hanging in the conference room.
The screen repeatedly played the scenes of w.a.n.g Tianzong’s recent attack.
The shaking island, the overturning sea surface, the huge wave that suddenly connected heaven and earth, and the world which was full of Sword Energy.
Lin Fengting stared at the screen seriously.
There was nothing in his eyes but gravity.
After G.o.ds knew how long, Lin Fengting slowly spoke, “This sword stroke…”
His voice was a bit husky. “I can’t take it.”
Qin Weibai said calmly, “You had a try just now. It turns out you can’t take it.”
Before the Samsara Palace’s headquarters was destroyed, the huge arc of light was even regarded by w.a.n.g Tianzong as the dying counterattack—the Twenty-fourth Blade, of the Master of Samsara Palace.
But the moment the light and shadows intertwined, what the huge arc of light drove was Lin Fengting’s sword.
Lin Fengting was a little far from that island, so his Sword Energy was a bit weak.
w.a.n.g Tianzong just struck once.
And he could continue to attack.
Lin Fengting could find any excuse he liked.
However, in fact, even if he were standing on the island, it would be difficult for him to completely block the Six Paths of Reincarnation, no matter how many times he attacked.
Lin Fengting was a bit depressed inside, and his mind was wandering.
He was lazy and aloof from worldly affairs, but that didn’t mean he didn’t have the desire to win.
He knew that he was no match for w.a.n.g Tianzong, but he had never expected that the gap between him and w.a.n.g Tianzong would be so huge, given the power of this sword stroke.
Qin Weibai whispered, “w.a.n.g Tianzong broke through.”
Her voice was soft, but the content was startling.
Lin Fengting and Flaming Fire shivered at the same time.
“Of course, he just took another half step forward from the peak of the Invincible Realm. But this half step widened the existing gap further.”
Qin Weibai’s tone was a little complicated. “The sword stroke just now came from the deep sea. The tremendous pressure enabled w.a.n.g Tianzong to go further. That was my miscalculation. If I am right, the current w.a.n.g Tianzong is merely slightly inferior to Dongcheng Huangtu at that time. In this era, it is really hard for him to find a match.”
“Dongcheng Huangtu…”
Lin Fengting wore a self-deprecating smile, saying, “He was the real Chosen One.”
“Obviously, w.a.n.g Tianzong is only half a step away from and even infinitely close to the true Chosen One.”
Qin Weibai looked at the screen and whispered, “It’s normal. The w.a.n.g family of Beihai has been glorious for too long. The longer the glory, the greater the pressure on the heir. It was no surprise that w.a.n.g Tianzong made a breakthrough under such pressure. After all, the troubled times are right around the corner.”
Lin Fengting smiled and took a deep breath, barely steadying his nerves.
“What about Tianlan?”
He asked softly, “The final maneuver will begin immediately. Who can control w.a.n.g Tianzong?”
Qin Weibai said quietly after a long silence, “The Dongcheng Clan has the power to frighten w.a.n.g Tianzong.”
“Merely to frighten him?”
Lin Fengting asked, “If Tianzong is determined, can Tianlan survive?”
Qin Weibai fell silent.
The silence was an answer in itself.
Lin Fengting said, “That’s not a sure card.”
“Who could have imagined that he would make a breakthrough today? If he didn’t break through, the Huating maneuver would be foolproof.”
Qin Weibai’s tone was a bit bitter.
The door of the conference room was pushed open.
An elite member of the Samsara Palace wearing a diving suit was holding half of the corpse dressed in black. He put it on the conference table and left in silence.
Qin Weibai silently looked at the broken body on the conference table.
The Master of Samsara Palace did not make any attack at headquarters.
So the person under the cloak was naturally not the Master of Samsara Palace.
But w.a.n.g Tianzong would not know this.
Qin Weibai reached out and raised the cloak on the broken body.
The appearance of Shadowless, one of the 12 Super Masters of the Samsara Palace, was revealed.
Qin Weibai looked at the body of Shadowless and breathed deeply.
“After today, the Samsara Palace will operate in darkness. All these sacrifices are worth it. Unfortunately…”
She didn’t finish speaking.
But Lin Fengting knew what she was going to say.
w.a.n.g Tianzong broke through again, and his sword intent extended 10,000 meters. He was almost equally matched with the Chosen One.
If Lin Fengting had been a little closer to him, he would have been surprised enough even if he survived today.
Unfortunately?
Lin Fengting shook his head with a bitter smile. “Do you want me to go to Huating?”
“No.”
Qin Weibai shook her head. “We shall go to Mount Dibing!”
