Chapter 2476: The Sword Dao Celestial River on the March
Sword souls burning, essence blood burning, flesh and blood burning!
In fleeing for his life, the elite of the Supreme Supreme Sun Sword Cultivators are professional and rigorous; the Supreme Radiance Sovereign does not know whether the Overturning Sea True Dragon Son has come in pursuit, and it does not matter—he already regards the Overturning Sea True Dragon Son as actively hunting him, fleeing at the most terrifying speed possible while concealing himself, striving to minimize his presence.
True immortals, their abilities are not infinite!
In this era when the remnants of the Supreme Supreme Sun Immortal Dynasty have not yet dissipated, many inheritances remain unbroken and are recorded in great detail; the Supreme Radiance Sovereign clearly understands the limits of the True Immortal's abilities, does not mythologize them, and realizes that even if the Overturning Sea True Dragon Son locks onto him through causality, it takes time, and pursuit also takes time.
During this period, as long as he finds a place of refuge, he can be safe.
In fact, his sword dao premonition was not wrong.
"Ants————"
On the battlefield just now, a black-gold dragon shadow spoke coldly.
At this moment, the Overturning Sea True Dragon Son, who had just descended upon the temporal rift, is indeed plunged into great rage, having successfully locked onto this human sword cultivator who slew him through the participation of the Blood Dragon Sovereign's dragon blood and dragon soul, and is now flying toward this direction at extreme speed.
At another time, he might not take to heart the deaths of several Dragon Clan Eight Tribulation Sovereigns; the weak should die, and the Dragon Clan likewise follows the cruel law of nature.
But now he cannot, for he has only just awakened from the seal, and nearly half of his forces have been lost here, which has aroused his killing intent.
Of course, the most crucial point is that the Supreme Radiance Sword Sovereign is weak enough that he needs only some time to be slain.
The Supreme Radiance Sword Sovereign cannot sense that he is being hunted; he and the True Immortal are vastly apart, and his sword soul's sharpness cannot be brought to bear.
He merely flees, fleeing madly with all his speed.
Before entering the battlefield, he had already planned his escape route—this is near the Zhu Que Star Domain, ruled by one of the Seven Sword Dao Princes, the Li Shan Sword Emperor.
In this era when the Tian Qin Sword Emperor has taken command of the Zi Wei Tian Shu, it does not mean the Tian Qin Sword Emperor has unified the world.
She merely gained superficial allegiance from all regions, hearing orders but not obeying proclamations; in reality, she only controls the area centered on the Zi Wei Star Domain, amounting to nearly three-tenths of the Wu Jin Kong Kong.
Under the Tian Qin Sword Emperor, the Seven Sword Dao Princes still exist, each controlling star domains of varying sizes; though their strength cannot match the Tian Qin Sword Emperor, they are likewise not to be underestimated.
Is this the end?
No, this era is far more chaotic than anticipated.
Within the Seven Sword Dao Princes, there likewise exist many minor and major fiefdoms; they may pay tribute and provide troops to the Sword Dao Princes, but should the princes seek to reduce their fiefs, internal and external unrest will arise unnoticed—even if the Sword Dao Princes are powerful among Earth Sovereign cultivators and their domains contain multiple Earth Sovereigns, they cannot fundamentally alter this situation.
This is the era of the Fifty-Four Emperors of Myriad Years, where chaos reigns everywhere, sword cultivators wage war everywhere, and at every moment countless masses of mortal beings perish—an era ruled by sword madmen.
The path of survival planned by the Supreme Radiance Sword Sovereign is none other than the nearest Great Thousand World to the Zhu Que Star Domain.
Once he enters the Great Thousand World, enters the domain of the Li Shan Sword Emperor, he will then intensely desire the arrival of the Dragon Clan True Immortal.
"Come————"
"I truly hope you come————"
In the Supreme Radiance Sword Sovereign's eyes flickered scarlet flames, excitement and fear both present.
A strong desire arose in his heart: once he survives this tribulation, the obstacles to his advancement to quasi-emperor will be completely cleared; if his scheme can slay the Dragon Clan True Immortal, then the hope of universally ascending to the Earth Sovereign realm will at least suddenly surge by two levels!
Opportunity?
What is opportunity?
This is the very opportunity sword cultivators most crave—the greatest opportunity to arrive in the temporal rift!
If he ascends to Sword Emperor, even before the newly revived True Immortal he will not be weak; should the True Immortal in the present dare to forcibly intrude upon his domain, his state declining, he may even attempt to slay the True Immortal!
Clang~
Clang clang clang~
Between the stars, suddenly came the sound of sword chimes like wind bells—clear, pleasant, rippling outward in all directions, affecting the profound Dao.
The Supreme Radiance Sword Sovereign's breath suddenly caught, and thereafter his escape light slowed gradually, coming to a halt in place as he waited.
At this moment, he felt like a traveler just awakened from a dream, suddenly discovering that some heavy, unconscious pressure on his body had vanished, and his whole self felt much lighter.
Yet before this moment, he knew nothing, not even his sword soul could warn him in the slightest.
"Originally,"
"He really is hunting me————"
The Supreme Radiance Sword Sovereign felt a sense of loss.
He adjusted his robes and cap, embraced his sword, and gazed toward the star sea.
In the cosmic gale currents, the wind-bell-like sword chimes grew clearer and closer; after an unknown duration, a dazzling Sword Dao Tianhe flew from countless light-years away, heading toward an unknown direction, at terrifying speed—so fast it could be said to far surpass many True Immortals!
Drawing nearer, ever closer.
At this time, the Supreme Radiance Sword Sovereign could already clearly see this Sword Dao Tianhe flowing through the universe.
This, indeed, is a host of flying swords, a host of Supreme Supreme Sun Sword Cultivators arrayed in formation, flying on swords; they traverse the star realm in a burst-march manner, their escape lights forming a celestial river in the cosmos, clearly pursuing some target.
They appear to be sensed by the Eight Tribulation Sovereigns, but in fact are extremely distant from here, unknown where in the starry void.
It is precisely they who have startled the True Immortal hunting the Supreme Radiance Sword Sovereign into flight, and perhaps the Overturning Sea True Immortal is now fleeing madly, for the appearance of this host of Supreme Supreme Sun Sword Dao troops here is certainly not for leisure, but to come and see blood spilled in slaughter; in the universe, few targets qualify for them to advance in burst-march formation.
Many cultivators mistakenly believe that sword cultivator armies, being numerous, suffer from encumbrance and thus slow speed.
In fact, this is an old almanac from who-knows-how-many years ago, a mistaken notion born of low scientific and technological levels in the immortal dao.
In the Supreme Supreme Sun Sword Dao army, the more numerous the sword cultivators, the greater their average strength, the greater the cosmic mass, the greater the inertia, and the faster their march speed!
Any strongman holding such a mistaken belief has been hunted down one by one by the sword cultivator army until death.
And now, this host of Supreme Supreme Sun Sword Dao troops is indeed in pursuit of some target!
The Supreme Radiance Sword Sovereign immediately judged this to be the case.
Do not forget, he received from childhood the education of the Supreme Supreme Sun Sword Cultivators, and his lineage is nearly identical to that of these sword cultivators—same root, same source, with extremely high military cultivation.
Clang!
In the distance, a clear sword chime rang out.
This is an encrypted communication among the Supreme Supreme Sun Sword Dao troops, equivalent to asking: "Sword cultivator, you have entered the Li Shan Sword Sovereign's star domain, yet bear no identification; please report your identity and purpose, remain in place, and undertake no hostile action."
"Otherwise, death."
This host of Supreme Supreme Sun Sword Dao troops spoke coldly.
In fact, this is already merciful.
If it weren't for the fact that the Light Flame Sword Venerable is clearly a Supreme Great Sun Sword cultivator, his only options would be surrender or death, with no third alternative.
