In the heart of the city, a majestic silver palace floats in the air, its exterior radiating a waterfall of sword intent, blocking all prying eyes.
Inside the hall, the Nine Heavens Sword Master sat cross-legged in the void, surrounded by countless fine sword beams, each one slowly repairing his shattered soul.
His face was as pale as paper, and his brows showed deep exhaustion, but his eyes were still sharp as swords. However, at this moment, there was a rare hint of fear hidden in his eyes.
"cough……"
He suddenly groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and the sword light around him became slightly disordered.
"Damn stardust..."
He gritted his teeth and whispered, his voice filled with resentment.
In the last battle, he burned his own essence and forcibly activated the Burial God Array, even sacrificing his mechanical battle puppet to escape.
Even so, his injuries remained severe, and he was unable to recover to his peak combat strength in a short period of time.
"This battle has exceeded expectations..."
He slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the main hall and looking into the distant void, as if he could see the Qin army pressing in.
"Tianfeng City has fallen, and Xuanbing Valley probably won't hold out for much longer. If this continues, the Yuan Kingdom's front line will surely collapse!"
He frowned, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
Originally, the three rulers joined forces to set up an ambush, intending to kill Xingchen before the Qin Kingdom's army launched a full-scale attack, thereby weakening the Qin Kingdom's top combat power.
Unexpectedly, Stardust's strength far exceeded their expectations. Not only did the three of them fail to succeed, but they also ended up being seriously injured and forced to flee!
"Can't delay any longer..."
He took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"Although Nine Heavens City is important, in my current state, if Stardust were to personally come to kill me, I might not be able to escape unscathed!"
He slowly rose, the sword light around him receding, his aura still weak, but his eyes had regained their coldness.
"Pass down the order—"
His voice was deep.
"Citywide alert, ready to evacuate at any time!"
Outside the hall, the remaining eternal gods were all startled upon hearing this.
"Sword Master, are we really going to abandon Nine Heavens City?"
A peak Eternal True God clad in silver armor couldn't help but speak up.
The Nine Heavens Sword Master gave him a cold glance.
"It's not giving up, it's temporarily avoiding the limelight."
His tone was icy.
"I'll come back to fight once I've fully recovered!"
No one dared to say anything more and they all accepted the order and left.
The Nine Heavens Sword Master stood alone in the center of the hall, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"Stardust...you think this battle is over?"
The battle has intensified.
Sooner or later, it will escalate to the point where a god-king level is involved in the battle.
As for top-tier combat power...
Yuan Kingdom is superior to Qin Kingdom!
This is why the Qin Kingdom was the one that was invaded!
Just as the Nine Heavens Sword Master was deep in thought, an unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly descended!
He looked up abruptly, his pupils contracting sharply—
The entire space of Nine Heavens City was completely sealed off without a sound!
The flowing sword intent froze, and even the laws were suppressed by some terrifying force. The entire city seemed to have been stripped out of the universe, falling into a deathly silence.
"not good!"
The Nine Heavens Sword Master's expression changed drastically. He stood up instantly, and sword light surged around him!
"It's Stardust?! He arrived so quickly!"
He scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately sensed two familiar yet terrifying auras outside the city—
One is as vast as a galaxy, the other as abyss that devours!
"Damn it!"
He gritted his teeth and growled, a ferocious glint flashing in his eyes.
He is in a condition that makes him unfit to fight again.
But—there's no escaping it!
Outside Jiuxiao City.
Mu Qing transformed into a ferocious beast ten thousand feet tall, its dark devouring power sweeping across the entire city like a tidal wave, frantically eroding the city's protective array.
"Hahaha! Nine Heavens Sword Master, stop hiding!"
He laughed wildly, his voice booming like thunder.
"Be a good girl and let me devour you, so I can break through to the God King realm!"
His eyes gleamed with greed and madness, and his aura was even more violent than before.
Just one more!
As long as he devours the Nine Heavens Sword Master, he can cross that barrier and enter the realm of God King!
How could I not be anxious?!
"boom--!!!"
His giant claw slammed down, causing space to shatter inch by inch. The protective array of Nine Heavens City trembled violently, and countless cracks appeared!
"Mu Qing".
Stardust stood in the void, his expression serene, his fingertips lightly touching the ground.
"Om-"
The River Light Blade floated up, its star patterns flowing and transforming into a dazzling galaxy that completely enveloped the entire Nine Heavens City.
"He can't get away."
Stardust's voice was calm, yet it conveyed absolute control.
"Since he's here, let's finish him off."
Inside the city.
The Nine Heavens Sword Master's face was extremely gloomy.
"Sealing off space... Is this an attempt to wipe them out completely?!"
He took a deep breath, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
"Since we can't escape, let's fight to the death!"
He suddenly raised his hand, and the silver longsword rang out with a clang, its blade pointing straight to the sky!
"Nine Heavens Sword Formation—Activate!"
"Boom--!"
The entire Nine Heavens City trembled, and countless sword lights soared into the sky, transforming into an unparalleled killing formation!
Even severely injured, he is still the Sword Master of the Nine Heavens!
Even if he is no match for them, he will make Xingchen and Muqing pay the price!
"bring it on!"
He roared, his sword intent soaring into the sky!
"Let me see if you have the ability to kill me!"
"boom--!!"
Mu Qing's massive beastly body crashed into the Nine Heavens City, causing the entire city to tremble violently.
His scarlet beastly eyes were fixed on the silver hall, and he let out a deafening roar:
"Nine Heavens, prepare to die!"
A chilling glint flashed in the eyes of the Nine Heavens Sword Master, and his longsword suddenly burst forth with a blinding silver light. Even severely wounded, his sword intent remained incomparably sharp!
"Come and fight!"
Thousands of sword shadows instantly coalesced, transforming into a silver torrent that swept across the heavens and earth, engulfing Mu Qing.
"Well done!"
Mu Qing neither dodged nor evaded, but opened his blood-red maw, unleashing a terrifying vortex of devouring power. The countless sword shadows vanished without a trace, swallowed entirely by him!
"belch--"
Mu Qing let out a burp and grinned menacingly, "It tastes good! Give me some more!"
The Nine Heavens Sword Master's face turned ashen; he hadn't expected his killing move to be so easily neutralized. But being a top-tier ruler, he immediately changed his strategy.
"Nine Heavens Sword Domain!"
The sword intent throughout the entire city instantly surged, and countless silver light swords converged from all directions. These light swords intertwined and actually condensed in the air into a giant sword spanning billions of miles!
"cut!"
The giant sword crashed down, shattering the space in its wake.
This strike was a desperate act by the Nine Heavens Sword Master, burning his very essence!
"interesting!"
