Chapter 1481: Chapter 1579: Sword of Imperial Authority

Those who have stepped into the Immortal Realm, at this point in time, can be counted on one hand.

The black-dressed woman from the Seven Seas three sect is an Immortal powerhouse, but she is not a person of this era, having survived from ancient times, hence cannot be considered a contemporary Immortal powerhouse.

The Demon Beast clan’s Great Sage Equal to Heaven, has stepped into the Immortal Realm, and in terms of strength, he surpasses the black-dressed woman. He is acknowledged by many Martial Artists as the strongest in the world right now. Even if many from the Human Clan are reluctant to admit it, it seems that at the moment, there truly is no one who can rival the Great Sage Equal to Heaven from within the Human Clan.

There is also another, the Heaven King of the East Pole from the Pill Alliance, who with his Immortal bearing, slaughtered two Half-step Immortal powerhouses from the Confucian and Buddhist Sects, proving his own strength and profoundly influencing the outcome of the great wars between those two realms.

Aside from these three, there is no fourth Immortal powerhouse that has emerged, suggesting that across the heavens and the earth, there seem to be only these three who have entered the Immortal Realm.

And now, this Hall Master of the Sky Swallowing Palace demonstrated the strength of an Immortal powerhouse.

With one finger pressed down, in a seemingly casual manner, both Emperors and the three great Heaven Kings were hit hard, grunting as they were each forced to retreat.

“Truly Immortal!” The Yuan Emperor was greatly shocked. Before, he only suspected that the Hall Master of the Sky Swallowing Palace might have touched the threshold of the Immortal Realm, but now, it is clear that he has fully entered, far surpassing them, the Long-lived Ones.

On another front, the four powerhouses of the Hidden Kill Hall faced off against the four masked men of the Sky Swallowing Palace, and the battle was exceptionally fierce, causing the entire Extreme North Land to churn in upheaval due to their confrontation.

The Demon Beasts that lived in the Extreme North Land scattered in fear, not wanting to be affected by the terrifying power unleashed during the clash of these powerhouses.

The Green Robe Guest, while fiercely combating the Dragon-Headed Masked Man in front of him, was also covertly keeping an eye on several other battles.

This was the ability of the Green Robe Guest, able to multitask, such that even when facing powerful enemies, he could monitor the conditions of others without affecting himself.

Precisely for this reason, the Green Robe Guest was the undisputed chief strategist of the Hidden Kill Hall; many major decisions and schemes were all his doing.

“Who would have thought that this Hall Master of the Sky Swallowing Palace was really an Immortal powerhouse, this battle is proving much more difficult than imagined,” the Green Robe Guest said silently to himself.

The current situation felt somewhat heavy in the heart of the Green Robe Guest; it would take some time to deal with the four masked men, while both Emperors and the three great Heaven Kings would likely struggle against the Immortal Realm’s Hall Master of the Sky Swallowing Palace.

Once the Hall Master of the Sky Swallowing Palace was free, the few powerhouses of the Hidden Kill Hall also estimated they would have difficulty escaping unscathed.

However, even knowing that the current situation was unfavorable for all three sides, the Green Robe Guest wasn’t overly worried, because this operation to surround and attack the Sky Swallowing Palace had been meticulously planned, and the true masters had not yet revealed themselves.

Boom!!!

Both Emperors and the three great Heaven Kings pushed their powers to the extreme, each wielding their treasured weapons, and engaged in a fierce battle with the Hall Master of the Sky Swallowing Palace.

“To you Long-lived Ones, those who have not entered the Longevity Realm are all ants, yet in my eyes, the Long-lived Ones are just the same,” Dugu Nian said coldly, his palms glowing red, countless Palm Impressions falling from the sky.

Both Emperors and the three great Heaven Kings kept resisting, but ultimately, they could not block them all, and were continuously hit by the red Palm Impressions.

The Yuan Emperor, relying on his strong physical body, forcibly countered the red Palm Impressions, but could not withstand many, and was the first to vomit blood.

“Damn it!” The Yuan Emperor retreated repeatedly, wiping the fresh blood from his mouth, his complexion dreadfully grim.

The others weren’t faring much better; although they hadn’t vomited blood, it was clear that they had been injured.

The Qin Emperor wore an expression of solemnity, his sword in hand humming and vibrating.

“For thousands of years, my great Qing Nation has accumulated the power of national destiny, and in today’s battle, even if you are an Immortal powerhouse, you will struggle to withstand the force of my Qing Nation’s destiny!” The Qin Emperor suddenly slashed his wrist with the Sword of Imperial Authority, allowing the most orthodox royal bloodline of the Qing Nation to drip onto the blade.

Sword of Imperial Authority, the mighty artifact of the Qing Nation, was forged from the weapons of the five grand masters under the first generation Qin Emperor. Each generation’s emperor would inherit the Sword of Imperial Authority, harnessing the array of imperial might to absorb the national fate that has continued uninterrupted for thousands of years.

By infusing the national fate into the Sword of Imperial Authority, only the imperial bloodline could unleash all its power.

The contemporary Qin Emperor brought this sword as a precaution, and now it seems that carrying the sword with him was indeed the right decision.

As blood dripped down, the Sword of Imperial Authority’s radiance shot up to the sky. At the same time, countless people within the Qing Nation felt a moment of disorientation, as if something had vanished.

Inside the Qing Nation’s imperial palace, the array of imperial might collapsed; the royal experts responsible for guarding the array all sighed in unison.

“Qing Nation’s national fate, enduring for thousands of years, has been exhausted in one fell swoop today,” a royal elder lamented with a look full of regret.

Another shook his head: “This is only the consumed national fate of our Qing; if it’s exhausted, it can be accumulated again.”

“Let us hope that His Majesty can prevail in this battle,” the royal elder said with a nod.

…

At the cost of the Qing Nation’s national fate that spanned thousands of years, a supremely powerful blow was exchanged for the Qin Emperor and the Sword of Imperial Authority.

The Sword of Imperial Authority flew out from the hands of the Qin Emperor, carrying the national fate of the Qing that soared mightily, rushing towards the Sky Swallowing Palace’s Hall Master with a roar.

“Is this a country’s fate? If I scatter this fate, will your Qing Nation be on the brink of destruction?” Dugu Nian sneered, as a zither’s phantom emerged in front of him.

“Hmm?” With the appearance of the zither phantom, everyone’s gaze sharpened.

Hum!!!

The zither strings vibrated, spreading a note throughout.

At that moment, the silent sky beamed with light, and the icy, snow-covered Extreme North Land burst into the signs of spring.

The thousand-year national fate carried by the Sword of Imperial Authority also melted away like ice and snow.

“Just a country’s fate, if I so wish, your Qing Nation’s destruction is but a flip of the hand!” Dugu Nian laughed loudly as the zither music suddenly changed.

The moment prior felt like smooth flowing mountain streams, peaceful and gentle, while now it crackled like clashing swords and spears, filled with murderous intent and chill.

The zither notes were like knives; the zither waves were like swords.

Like a downpour of blades, the Sword of Imperial Authority was engulfed by the zither’s sound; the national fate it carried from the Qing Nation ultimately posed no threat to Dugu Nian and was dissolved by the zither music.

A jade hand reached out, quite effortlessly grabbing the Sword of Imperial Authority, belonging to none other than Dugu Nian.

The Qin Emperor’s complexion drastically changed, nearly shattering his steel teeth in rage; his own weapon had been taken by the opponent.

This was his Qing Nation’s royal artifact, passed down through generations of Qin Emperors to him. Not to mention the exhaustion of a thousand years of national fate – after all, that national fate was prepared to confront formidable foes.

But now, even the Sword of Imperial Authority had been taken; this was a tremendous loss, and the Qin Emperor nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.

“This sword isn’t bad, but sadly I don’t like it, and I reckon he won’t like it either,” Dugu Nian said as he swung the sword of a nation in his hand, with a touch of disdain.
