Chapter 301: Finally Understanding Eternal Sword Rule

The eternal sword aura spread countless times and burst with unbelievable power as it seemed to transcend everything. Finally the Eternal Sword Rule was born, and heaven and earth trembled.

BOOOOOM!!!

At that instant—the world changed.

Apollo’s sword, which had clashed endlessly with the ancient shadow guardian, suddenly stopped vibrating. A deathly stillness descended over the battlefield. The air that once raged with violent clashes now seemed to kneel under the terrifying surge of something new—something transcendent.

And then—

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The very space around Apollo fractured.

"What—what is that?!" Someone screamed from the lower steps.

Countless swordsmen watching the battle felt their sword aura violently trembling, as if desperately submitting to an invisible force. Even those who had cultivated swords for millions of years, reaching the Eternal God Realm, felt an indescribable fear creep into their hearts.

Because what they were witnessing was something unforgettable...

Was not sword aura anymore.

It was Sword Rule.

And not just any ordinary Sword Rule—it was Eternal Sword Rule. It cut fate, cut space, and even began to tear apart the laws and even rules of the world.

Above Apollo’s head, a brilliant sword of pure light materialised, formed entirely from the power of his Eternal Sword Rule. The moment it appeared, the sky of the monolith turned completely dark, as if the heavens themselves bowed to welcome the birth of a new rule.

Even many old swordsmen hidden in the depths of the Celestial Sword Monolith seemed to be awakened; they felt their swords tremble; even their high-level sword rules could not seem to suppress the feeling of terror.

The ancient shadow guardian, once unshakeable and unbreakable, suddenly shuddered. Its sword aura, vast as the sea, began to crack under the pressure of Eternal Sword Rule.

Just the presence of the Eternal Sword rule seemed to be too terrifying, as no sword aura or sword rule was anything like it. It was true pinnacle of sword Rule the strongest sword rule and the sword shadow as a being made of sword rule started to crack under its pressure.

As how can it stand against the Eternal Sword rule? Even without doing anything, it slowly started to shatter.

And Apollo?

His eyes were as calm as ever, but in his heart, he felt it—

The shackles were gone.

The Eternal Sword Aura he carried for so long, struggling for months to break through its limit, had now ascended to Eternal Sword Rule. His entire existence seemed to fuse with the sword. The world no longer mattered; the monolith’s oppressive laws no longer weighed down on him.

Because as if he had become a law himself.

With this final breakthrough, his divine body, soul, and spirit also broke another barrier and instantly reached the eighth turn.

For ten months living here, his body, spirit, and soul baptised by the sword power already reached the peak of the seventh turn and only needed the little push; hence, the moment he broke through the sword rule level, they also achieved a breakthrough.

And continued to improve rapidly even after breaking through eight turns as his foundation was too solid, and the Eternal Sword Rule wasn’t a simple rule but the strongest sword rule of eternity.

While he was enjoying the transformation and improvement in his strength, outside every swordsman was in chaos.

"Impossible..."

"This—this can’t be real..."

"He... broke through the barrier of sword aura and directly ascended to Sword Rule mid-battle!?"

"What kind of sword rule is this? So majestic, so ethereal?"

The Eternal God-level swordsmen felt their knees go weak as they realised what had just happened. For millions of years, countless geniuses tried to comprehend Sword Rule after cultivating perfect sword aura. The transition was described as a near-impossible wall, and only a few across the vast cosmos had succeeded.

But Apollo...

Not only did they succeed but also understood the unprecedented eternal sword rule that no one had even comprehended.

And then—

Apollo raised his sword.

"Let’s end this." His voice was light, but it was like the command of a monarch.

The Eternal Sword Rule condensed around his sword, and then—he swung.

BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

A singular line of sword light erupted from his blade. It was pure, refined, eternal brilliance that seemed to embody the concept of cutting fate itself. The space between him and the ancient shadow shattered as if it couldn’t bear the weight of the sword rule.

The shadow guardian’s sword split in half.

"...!"

Before the ancient shadow could even react, the light of the sword rule passed through its body—and in the next instant, the shadow guardian was eradicated from existence.

Dead silence fell across the two hundredth step.

Apollo did not look pleased nor shocked. He simply sheathed his sword. His heart was calm as still water, but inwardly he realised—

"So this... is the true path of my sword?"

In the very next moment—

CRAAAAACK!!!!

The Celestial Sword Monolith itself reacted violently to his breakthrough. An unimaginable roar of sword power erupted from the very peak of the monolith, as if recognising the birth of a legendary swordsman.

Even the top of the monolith seemed to tremble, but nobody can feel or see that, as that place is filled with terrifying sword rules that no one ever steps on.

The 201st step crumbled beneath Apollo’s feet.

A brand-new step was created on the spot, completely separate from the regular staircase. A divine silver glow covered the step, and ancient runes of sword law engraved themselves across its surface.

It was now the territory of the eternal gods who mastered sword rule, and each one had made their names throughout the universe in hundreds of thousands of years. However, now a eighteen-year-old kid has also joined the group, creating an unbelievable legend.

"This is only the beginning."

And with that, he stepped onto the newly formed step. Like before, the 201st step was completely different from the lower two hundred steps.

First, it felt bigger, as it seemed to contain its own dimension space, and secondly, the pressure of sword power was too intense, as if the person didn’t understand sword rules, he might not be able to stand for a second, not to mention move here.

Even for swordsmen who understood the rule, it was still a difficult task. But he was calmer, as even though his eternal sword rule just reached the first layer of rule, it was still countless times stronger than any early first layer rule.

In fact, he felt the power was so amazing that he wasn’t sure what level it had reached. It might be able to directly confront the second-layer sword rule.

The space around him seemed distorted by the sheer intensity of sword rule lingering in the air. Even his breath felt heavier, as if the very concept of a sword weighed down on his existence.

He could see traces of sword light flickering in the distance, like fragments of ancient battles eternally replaying in this dimension.

Apollo took a step forward. The ground beneath his feet hummed, reacting to his Eternal Sword Rule.

A few swordsmen who had managed to climb this high were already seated, trying to stabilise themselves under the terrifying pressure. Their expressions shifted drastically when they noticed him.

"Who is that...?" One of them whispered, their voice quivering.

"His aura is quite mysterious; what kind of sword rule did he understand?"

Different thoughts appeared in their mind. As after the two hundredth step, every step is a completely different space, making them unable to understand what shocking thing just happened outside. But still they have felt the tremendous and mysterious sword rule even from here, but they just didn’t know it was caused by him.

For them, it might be done by big ancient bosses in the upper steps of the Celestial Sword Monolith.

They themselves weren’t weak, as every single one of them was an eternal god except the one who seemed to be meditating in a distant corner, not caring about who came.

They cannot judge his strength as he used the hiding mask to help him change his face but hide his aura. Not to mention now, with the combination of his understanding of four rules, it might be difficult for half-step transcendent to see through him clearly.

Apollo ignored the gazes piercing him from every direction. He moved with the same steady pace, as though nothing around him was worthy of his attention. His steps carried an unseen weight, and despite his hidden aura, the sheer intensity of his sword rule subtly affected the surrounding space.

The swordsmen who were seated found themselves unconsciously tensing up. Some of them subconsciously placed their hands on their sword hilts, a primal reaction to the suffocating sensation they felt from him. But no one dared to make a move. It was not fear, but rather an instinctive hesitation—an unexplainable sense of dread.

"That pressure... Is he really just like us, only at the two hundredth step?" One of them muttered, his voice filled with disbelief.

"Impossible. Even in the upper steps, there aren’t many who could generate such an overwhelming sword rule. He is definitely hiding his strength," another one said, trying to reassure himself.
