Chapter 888: The Heavenly and Human War!

Wang Jizhou's gaze swept in turn over Ji Chang, Ning Zhengqi, Nie Wushuang, and the others.

Finally, it settled on Jiang Zhiwei.

"I must say, your talent is so formidable it even stirs envy in this Saint—and fear."

"Someone like this must be destroyed by my own hand, or no peace of mind will ever come..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wang Jizhou raised his hand and unleashed a staggering sword radiance, striking toward Jiang Zhiwei!

To prevent any accident, he would never allow her to grow—he must eliminate her before she could rise!

Seeing the opponent dare strike at a junior without hesitation, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor's brow twitched, and for the first time, true rage stirred within him: "Scoundrel!"

In an instant, a terrifying sword intent, nearly approaching Saint-level, erupted and blocked before Jiang Zhiwei, successfully intercepting the attack!

Yet before anyone could exhale, Wang Jizhou's figure appeared out of thin air before the Heavenly Sword Ancestor.

Sword intent surged skyward, radiating boundless desolation!

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor instinctively sought to resist, but Wang Jizhou merely gave a cold smile.

Immediately, he felt his entire body grow heavy, as if sunk deep in mud, unable to move!

Even the Qi circulating within him slightly stalled, unable to be summoned in time.

Vast, unimaginable heavenly and earthly forces surrounded him, crushing every inch of space.

Had this been a Primordial Spirit cultivator, he would have been crushed into a flesh-paste in an instant!

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor instantly realized it, his face darkening: "Domain?!"

Wang Jizhou shook his head, offering no further explanation.

After all, too many words invite mistakes—dead men need not know so much.

Without hesitation, he summoned his Saint weapon, Xuan Ya.

The razor-sharp tip of the blade pointed directly at the Heavenly Sword Ancestor's third eye, then shot forth!

To prevent any mishap, he couldn't be bothered to test further—he intended to kill the opponent outright in the shortest time possible!

But the Heavenly Sword Ancestor was among the very few in the Yuehua Empire with the highest mastery of sword Dao, just one step away from the Sword Saint realm—he could not perish so easily.

In the instant before Xuan Ya descended, a brilliant green light suddenly erupted from his third eye!

Then, a phantom figure emerged, identical in appearance to the Heavenly Sword Ancestor himself!

This was his Primordial Spirit!

The Primordial Spirit radiated dazzling light, raised its hand, and recalled its life-bound Saint weapon.

Immediately, it chanted a sword technique, using the Primordial Spirit and Saint weapon as its foundation to manifest a phantom, translucent supreme divine sword!

This sword contained all his lifetime's sword Dao insights.

Once unleashed, it could nullify nearly all physical damage and inflict massive harm upon the enemy's spiritual realm.

And this sword—

Had consumed hundreds of years of his life!

Only after meeting Jiang Zhiwei and witnessing her state of Human-Sword Unity did he gain the insight needed to finally perfect this sword!

Shhh—

One slash, and wind and clouds twisted!

Space itself trembled, shattered, and collapsed!

Even the earth quaked, cracking into a dense web of fissures within an instant!

Before the Heavenly Sword Ancestor's ultimate strike, Xuan Ya was blasted hundreds of miles away, smashing through mountains!

Wang Jizhou was taken aback: "Hmph! I underestimated you! I never thought you could still break through without reaching Sword Saint!"

Seeing the opponent's Primordial Spirit turn and charge toward him,

Wang Jizhou sneered: "This technique is powerful indeed—but before me, a Sword Saint, it is pathetically fragile!"

He instantly unleashed his newly transcended Saint-level Fire Sword Intent!

Terrifying heat surged forth, evaporating all moisture in the air, warping and melting space itself, revealing the pitch-black, lifeless void beyond!

But space possesses self-repairing properties.

Thus arose a stunning spectacle: space melting even as it rapidly mended.

Wang Jizhou thought once, and instantly recalled Xuan Ya from hundreds of miles away.

Then, wielding the Saint weapon, he flew forward.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion rang out!

Their figures collided, unleashing a power capable of destroying the world!

Immediately, muffled detonations continued without pause.

In the time it took the onlookers to blink a few times, the two had exchanged hundreds of strikes!

Thanks to the Domain's enhancement, Wang Jizhou's expended energy replenished swiftly.

And every strike carried an immense concentration of heavenly and earthly force!

Coupled with his Saint-level Sword Intent and Sword Soul, granting him immense resistance to spiritual attacks, he maintained constant upper hand, showing no sign of weakness.

In contrast, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor's face grew paler, and the brilliant aura of his Primordial Spirit rapidly dimmed.

He had never reached the Sword Saint realm.

To have held out this long through sheer mastery of the Supreme Sword King art was already a miracle!

Another muffled boom sounded, and their figures separated, facing each other from afar.

Wang Jizhou frowned, lips curling: "Little Heavenly Sword, you should be grateful I've only just completed my breakthrough—if I had stabilized first, I could have taken your life in mere strikes!"

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor said nothing.

He understood that the other party spoke no falsehood.

After all, the true power possessed by a Sword Saint-level expert far exceeded the level shown so far.

Wang Jizhou looked around, his tone suddenly dropping low.

He raised his long sword once more: "Being able to exchange so many moves with this Saint, you can consider your life not lived in vain. Now, this Saint shall grant you death!"

The moment his words fell, the aura around his body surged violently!

An invincible sword intent of fire shot skyward, turning the heavens a sheet of crimson, like a sky of burning clouds!

Wang Jizhou gripped the Xuan Ya, his figure flashing as he used spatial shift to appear out of thin air before the Heavenly Sword Ancestor!

Killing intent surfaced on his face, condensing all his resentment and hatred into this single sword!

Whoosh—

The long sword swept out, emitting bursts of air-burst sounds!
