Chapter 967 - The Dust has Settled (2/2)

“Sacred Master, receive a sword from me!” A roar came.

Two figures walked out from nothingness side by side. One was Blade Emperor, and the other was the white-haired male ‘Swordmaster’. Swordmaster carried a sword behind his back as he pointed at the Sacred Master from afar.

“Qiang!”

The sword left its scabbard.

A heart-palpitating sword light suddenly swept out. It brought with it a power that caused the entire sacred world to shake. This sword light directly slashed towards the distant Swordmaster, causing him to flinch momentarily before receiving this attack with the motley pike in his hand. At that moment, “hong hong hong…” Many booming sounds were heard, causing the surrounding space to shatter and distort. Even the flow of time was influenced.

In that short moment, both parties had fought for tens of bouts, and Sacred Master could not secure a victory during that period. World Ancestor and Ancestor Sorcerer retreated with a smile as they saw this.

“Xiu.”

The sword light rapidly returned, falling back into the scabbard on Swordmaster’s back.

Sacred Master also stopped. The pike in his hand disappeared. He stood there inspecting Swordmaster thoroughly.

“I only felt that you are extraordinary previously, but it seems that I have still underestimated you.” Sacred Master chuckled with praise, “You have soundlessly reached the second level after entering the Cosmos God realm. Currently, your action has succeeded in taking away part of my strength. From your actions previously, you aren’t any weaker than the Blade Emperor. It is possible for you to surpass both World Ancestor and Ancestor Mother after some time.”

“Sacred Master has overpraised me.” Swordmaster calmly answered.

He remained low-profile for several epochs.

And in a single day, he erupted with his entire strength…

Allowing him to reach the standard of being able to fight with Sacred Master directly.

“Your talent and comprehension ability is indeed the first since the primitive Ancient Sacred World emerged.” Sacred Master laughed, “In the future, you might be qualified to become my opponent.”

Blade Emperor, Ancestor Sorcerer, and World Ancestor felt rueful in their hearts. They admitted that ‘Swordmaster’ was indeed outstanding. His strength had exploded with such speed, and more importantly, Swordmaster had not experienced any huge setbacks before and was able to reach his current realm in one fell swoop.

“The only pitiful thing is that you came into this world too late.” Sacred Master chuckled calmly without feeling anguished at all, “The Destruction Devils are only becoming stronger, and the time you have isn’t much either.”

“I hope that you will be able to reach the final third level before the final limit of this primal chaos void. By then, this world will be more interesting.” Sacred Master laughed at Swordmaster before disappearing.

“He left just like that?” Ancestor Sorcerer felt puzzled.

“He is quite direct with his departure. Despite having part of his strength snatched away by Swordmaster, he is able to remain calm.” The thin and small World Ancestor said, “It seems that ever since his affair has been broken by Gu Qi, in addition to the Destruction Devils getting stronger, Sacred Master should have given up all other schemes of his.”

Ancestor Sorcerer nodded: “Mn, previously, for the sake of venting his anger, he has utilized part of his origin energy to kill Gu Qi! This time, another part of his energy has been snatched by Swordmaster, yet he is able to remain nonchalant. It seems that he should have given up his schemes of the past.”

“We must always remain vigilant when fighting against Sacred Master.” Blade Emperor added, “Who knows if he might just paralyze us once he sees that things aren’t going well.”

Swordmaster nodded too.

…

Ancient Sacred World.

The Sacred Master sat cross-legged on his black stone bed. There was calm on his face: ‘This Swordmaster has improved truly quickly. It has only been a while yet he is able to fight against me directly. His growth is too smooth, and he hasn’t met any setbacks at all.’

‘Is it because he has once gotten the ‘Realm Heart Order?’ Sacred Master murmured inwardly, ‘It’s a pity that I have only heard of this Realm Heart Order before, yet have never obtained it.’
