Chapter 241: Breakthrough Eternal Sword World

Astral Swordsmanship with a starry world aura descended, locking the space around Apollo and bombarding him with cascading strikes from every angle.

The crowd roared, many certain that Apollo would be overwhelmed.

But amidst the swirling starlight, a single silver aura shone brighter. Apollo raised his sword, his Eternal Sword Aura surging like an unyielding tide. With a calm breath, he launched sword slashes that collided with numerous aurora sword energy slashes.

Clang! Slash! Boom!

The arena vibrated as silver and aurora blades collided, illuminating the space with radiant flashes. The astral energy struggled against the Eternal Aura, but each beautiful and precise strike was met with equal ferocity. Apollo’s sword carved through the aurora sword energy like a river splitting the land, dispersing the oppressive astral light piece by piece.

The crowd gasped, astonished. Although it wasn’t an all-out attack, how easily the attacks were countered showed Apollo’s strength.

Arcturus frowned, his starry array of energy trembling as cracks began to spread through it. His strikes, though magnificent, failed to suppress Apollo’s unrelenting advance.

Apollo took a step forward, his movements resolute. Each slash of his blade grew heavier, sharper, more refined—seeming to carry not just force but the passage of time itself. The Eternal Aura surged higher, devouring the starlight with an overwhelming presence that could not be contained.

He himself had the power of starlight and the lunar moon; hence, even if his mastery was weaker than Arcturus’s, he was still overwhelmed by his sword aura.

But his main focus wasn’t on overpowering him but, in fact, learning how he incorporated his star law in his swordsmanship and doing the same with his eternal sword aura. He already is on the verge of a breakthrough, and the more he fought, the more he felt it coming to fruition.

"So this is how you use the stars in your sword," Apollo muttered under his breath, his gaze intense yet contemplative.

The clash wasn’t just about domination—it was a pursuit of understanding. Apollo felt the rhythm of Arcturus’s Star Law, the way it flowed through his swordsmanship, blending with intent to manifest his Astral Swordsmanship. The brilliance of it resonated deeply within Apollo, sparking inspiration.

With every moment, the Eternal Aura sharpened, resonating not just with time but now beginning to integrate faint traces of the star law. His slashes carried not just eternity but now a glimmer of the starlight they devoured, a testament to Apollo’s ability to internalize and adapt in the heat of battle.

The pressure of the imminent breakthrough was palpable. His movements grew more natural, more transcendent, as though he were stepping into a higher plane of existence.

Arcturus faltered, his strikes slowing as confusion mingled with awe. He could feel the shift in Apollo’s presence and quickly understood what was going on. But knowing this, his expression worsened as it was too terrifying.

He was one of the strongest geniuses in the universe, but now, someone was using him to train himself and improve during their battle. And he was improving rapidly, as they struck each other. It was such a shocking thing that he couldn’t believe that was happening right now.

Among the spectators, strong individuals also noticed this and felt shocked at what they were seeing.

"Is he... learning mid-battle? No, it’s more than that," one murmured, their eyes narrowing. "He’s integrating the essence of his opponent’s techniques into his own."

Another, an older swordsman with a grizzled face, leaned forward, his tone grave. "This kind of comprehension is monstrous. If he continues like this..."

Arcturus’s expression darkened, a mixture of fury and incredulity flashing in his eyes. To be a stepping stone for anyone, let alone someone still climbing the universal ranks, was an insult his pride couldn’t bear. And yet, the truth was undeniable.

In the arena, the oppressive atmosphere thickened. Arcturus, gritting his teeth, summoned the full power of his Star Law, the astral brilliance flaring so intensely that the crowd had to shield their eyes. "I won’t be used like this!" He roared, his sword becoming a streak of blinding starlight as he launched an all-out attack.

"Aurora Starfall destruction."

His aura changed, and the world of Star, filled with countless stars, seemed to appear and cover the battlefield and started to shine brightly at the same time, increasing his sword power exponentially.

It was like the stars were connected like a constellation, and together they seemed to form a sword of stars, shining brightly and empowering the attack.

The battlefield was awash in dazzling starlight, the oppressive energy of Arcturus’s Aurora Starfall Destruction engulfing everything. The stars in his law world connected like threads of fate, forming a celestial sword of overwhelming brilliance. The very layers of the arena trembled under its might, and a low hum resonated as if the universe itself acknowledged the strike.

The crowd held their breath, the intensity of the moment silencing even the most boisterous onlookers.

Apollo stood amidst the starlit chaos, his silver aura unwavering. His eyes gleamed with calm determination, his Eternal Sword Aura responding to the celestial pressure with a newfound intensity. Each heartbeat brought clarity, each moment refining the essence of his swordsmanship.

At this moment, feeling the overwhelming aura of the Aurora swordsmanship, his Eternal Sword Aura seems agitated and seems to start to merge with the star law he understood and started to transform into something more unprecedented.

He raised his sword, the Eternal Aura swirling around him like a storm. The silvery energy expanded, tinged now with the glow of starlight.

Apollo didn’t hesitate. He stepped forward, his presence unyielding, and unleashed his sixteenth sword.

"Eternal Eclipse."

Booom!

His Eternal Sword Aura at that instant seems to break the mysterious barrier and seems to fully enter the sword world realm. His aura climbed many times, and the space within the arena started to tremble; even the crowd felt the tingling sensation in their eyes as they dared not to look at Apollo’s sword.

The Eternal Sword Domain transformed into a brand new ’Eternal Sword World’ filled with various laws creating a semi-eternal universe of a sword-like world filled with unimaginable power.

The sword sang with power as Apollo’s strike surged forward, a perfect balance of power. His Eternal Sword aura clashed with the constellation sword, swallowing its brilliance without being overwhelmed. The stars seemed to dim, their energy drawn into the void-like force of Apollo’s strike.

The arena quaked violently as the two attacks collided, the shockwave tearing through the air. The Astral Sword began to fracture, its once glorious radiance faltering under the pressure of Apollo’s Eternal Aura. The stars shattered one by one, their fragments dissolving into silver light.

Arcturus’s eyes widened in disbelief as his ultimate technique crumbled before him. "Impossible..." He whispered, his voice barely audible over the roaring energy.

Apollo’s sword beam pressed on, unrelenting. The moment stretched, and with a final, resounding crack, the Astral sword broke apart entirely. The sword energy slash didn’t stop; it continued to move on after destroying the Astral World until fully annihilating Arcturus.

The crowd was frozen in a mix of awe and disbelief, their cheers caught in their throats. Apollo’s figure stood amidst the swirling remnants of energy, the shattered fragments of starlight dissolving into nothingness around him.

Arcturus, the once-mighty swordsman who had stood as a swordsman of the upper ranks, was gone—defeated entirely by the overwhelming might of Apollo’s newly ascended power.

Apollo slowly sheathed his blade, the resonating hum of his aura dissipating as calm settled over the arena. The semi-eternal universe of his Sword World began to retract, folding into the depths of his being with a quiet finality.

[Winner Challenger Apollo]

The mechanical voice echoed the place. But he seemed to not care as his gaze was steady, but a small smile remained on his face as he had finally achieved what he wanted to do for more than a year.

A murmur began to ripple through the spectators, growing into a deafening roar of cheers and gasps.

"He... obliterated Arcturus!"

"Unbelievable! A Sword World so powerful it transcends laws themselves!"

High-ranking figures from various forces of the universe who had been observing among the spectators now stood in stunned silence. For many of them, this wasn’t merely a victory; it was the beginning of a new legend.

Apollo’s Sword World wasn’t just strong—it was unprecedented. A realm that seems to have blended countless laws, creating a power that defied convention. To those who understood the depth of his achievement, it was clear: Apollo’s path wasn’t limited by the boundaries of the known universe.

Still immersed in his thoughts, Apollo teleported out of the Dimension Battle world, paying no heed to the chaotic applause or the stunned faces around him.

As he disappeared, his name flashed across the leaderboards, soaring past hundreds of thousands of others until it stopped and replaced Arcturus Rank 94,647.

The universe had taken notice. The swordsmen of countless worlds had a new name to fear and revere.

Apollo —The Eternal Sword.
