Chapter 744: Chapter 468: Who is the First Person Under the Supreme?

The Sword Immortal was the prime mover in the resurgence of the swordsmanship world, having once not only led an era but also suppressed an era and boasted brilliant combat achievements against Supremes.

Just when everyone thought he had faded into obscurity, he reappeared in their field of vision.

"The Sword Immortal!"

A glimmer of sharpness appeared in Xia Feng’s eyes.

In those days, being in the same era as the Sword Immortal was both a blessing and a sorrow.

He had always been trampled under the Sword Immortal’s feet, and all his hard work aimed for the day when he could defeat the Sword Immortal and step out from his shadow.

"The Sword Immortal’s re-emergence, did you arrange it?" the Supremes looked towards the Supreme of the Dao Realm.

In fact, about the Sword Immortal’s disappearance, many Supremes had guessed it was arranged by the Supreme of the Dao Realm.

The same goes for the carefree wanderer of the old days; it’s very likely he was concealed by the Dao.

They even suspected that the Divine Realm Supreme had long perished, replaced by the carefree wanderer himself.

They just lacked any solid evidence.

After a moment of contemplation, the Supreme of the Dao Realm said, "Although this is just an internal strife within the Vast Wilderness, it is also related to the struggle for destiny. The Myriad Realms have gone through two Epochs; if we are suppressed by the Vast Wilderness in terms of combat power, wouldn’t it be a joke to onlookers?"

The other Supremes of the Heavens did not refute his statement.

Because what the Supreme of the Dao Realm said indeed made sense.

From the slightest sign, one can discern the whole picture.

The Vast Wilderness has just risen; if it constantly tramples the Myriad Realms underfoot, what then are the Heavens?

They could ally with the Vast Wilderness, but what they wanted was to maintain the initiative.

"How is the Sword Immortal’s current strength?" asked the Mystery Supreme.

"Should he wish, he could step into the Supreme Realm at any time. Right now, he is merely accumulating his foundation," said the Supreme of the Dao Realm with a nonchalant tone.

In truth, he was still quite proud.

The other Supremes were startled.

They knew that after an Epoch of accumulation, the Sword Immortal’s strength would greatly increase.

But they did not expect it to reach this level.

If he was willing, he could step into the Supreme Realm, meaning he had already found a path to ascension.

This was no trifling matter!

"So you mean to say, if the Sword Immortal takes action, there will be no one in the Vast Wilderness who can contend with him?" inquired the Supreme of Light.

Although these Supremes had initially alienated and even plotted to besiege the Sword Immortal, they knew this might be just another of the Supreme of the Dao Realm’s strategies.

They did not feel embarrassed about it.

"I do not know!" the Supreme of the Dao Realm fell silent for a moment.

The Vast Wilderness, he could never see through it.

He really couldn’t.

Whether there was anyone in the Vast Wilderness who could defeat the Sword Immortal, he did not know, but what he did know was that the strongest Saint Emperor he had was none other than the Sword Immortal himself.

Although the Heavens and the Vast Wilderness had not erupted in a major conflict, nor had he and the Chaotic Martial Ancestor had a major falling out,

the struggles, both open and covert, were always there.

The Supreme of the Dao Realm could feel it very clearly.

From time to time, he had a sense of being seen through.

This feeling made him uncomfortable and somewhat fearful.

Therefore, he must win this game.

Even if it was only a duel between Saint Emperors, even if it was only a minor chessboard, he had to win. He had been passive for far too long!

"Since there is a slot for ascension to Supreme within the Vast Wilderness, there is no need to rush. Nor is there any need to hunt down a Supreme to vacate a slot,"

Within the realm of Darkness, Qing Lan was also watching everything within the Vast Wilderness.

Of course, the fact that she could see the events of the Vast Wilderness was thanks to Sun Wukong; otherwise, she could not have seen them.

What she said about not needing to rush naturally referred to waiting for Hong Jun to emerge, competing for that Supreme slot of the Heavens.

She was even prepared to hunt down a Supreme of the Heavens.

Because Qing Lan had always known that the Sword Immortal was under the Supreme of the Dao Realm.

Powerful as the Sword Immortal was, ascending to Supreme held no suspense for him.

But now, there was no need.

It was better to let the Sword Immortal continue to develop, so that when he emerged, he could be even stronger.

And at this moment, under the gaze of everyone, the Sword Immortal wielded his Sword Intent and landed on one of the arenas.

Opposite him was Laozi!

Seeing the Sword Immortal land on his arena, Laozi wasn’t too surprised.

However, the creatures of the Heavens were slightly startled.

"Why has the Sword Immortal chosen Laozi in the end? Although Laozi is extraordinary in battle, his achievements are in the Alchemy Dao and the Artifact Dao! He’s not skilled in warfare, right?"

"Perhaps the Sword Immortal intends to start with an easy target?"

Laozi has made a move a few times,

but those times were rare, and each time he seemed to dominate.

So many people simply didn’t know how strong Laozi really was.

He wasn’t the most formidable, and naturally, he couldn’t compare with the Sword Immortal.

They thought that beings like Yuan Shi and Tongtian from the Vast Wilderness should be somewhat stronger than Laozi.

Because the Daos they cultivated held greater advantages innately.

However, the perspectives of the Supreme beings were starkly different from those of the ordinary creatures.

"Laozi of the Vast Wilderness has reached the pinnacle of the Hundred Arts, and although he has made few moves, his strength should be the strongest among the Saint Emperors of the Vast Wilderness, even surpassing beings like Tongtian," they said.

"Indeed, Laozi is extremely secretive," someone added.

"So who do you think will win this fight?"

Each time such a showdown occurred, there would be speculation.

But now, even the Supremes watching the two in the arena could not provide a very definite answer.

Laozi, the first person of the Vast Wilderness, has a sparse but exceedingly strong record of battles.

The Sword Immortal, once the first person of the Heavens, concealed by the Supreme of the Dao Realm for an entire Epoch, could easily step into the Supreme Realm. However, how strong he actually was, there was no certain way to tell.
