Chapter 1031: Sword Saint
"Hahaha!"
His laughter echoed as he exchanged high-speed blows with his opponents. They were exhausted, but it wasn\'t easy to eliminate them since they had the advantage in numbers.
A loud explosion erupted, and all of them were forced back due to the sheer power of the blast.
Boom!!
Franklin looked down at his hands. His arm was broken, and his flesh was torn apart. The pain was endurable, but it quickly disappeared as the injury instantly healed.
"That\'s strong."
Franklin\'s smile widened as he flexed his fingers. Wind swirled around his limbs, and a saber flew into his hand. It was another red-grade artifact.
His opponents glanced at him warily, tightening their grips on their weapons. They were prepared for another clash.
With a burst of speed, Franklin launched himself at the nearest figure, raising the saber in his hand. He swung with a force that created a powerful shockwave, but the figure parried his attack with twin daggers. The figure was a demi with a pair of wolf ears and a tail.
The others immediately pounced forward. A mage expert waved her hands, weaving magic circles in the air. Vines made of flame appeared out of thin air, attempting to snare Franklin.
"Come on! Give me everything!" Franklin countered with a swing of his saber. [Dominating Mad Slash]!
The wind slashes burst forth, slicing the vines into tiny fragments and forcing the mage to step back.
Bang!!
Two experts took advantage of the situation, closing the distance in just a moment. They were an old man with a pair of gauntlets and a demi armed with a lance.
Franklin blocked the old man\'s punch with a small shield while he let the demi damage his body. Then, flesh burst out of his body, wrapping itself around the old man. He twisted his body, smashing the old man into the demi.
Boom!!
Franklin stepped forward as the damage to his body quickly disappeared.
"Give everything to me! Hahaha!"
With a swift motion, he repeatedly slashed his saber in the air, sending dozens of wind blades.
On the other side of the battle, Eztein was on the offensive, forcing Chan Yu and the elf expert to retreat.
Chan Yu was losing his focus in the battle. The pain he was experiencing at that moment could make anyone go insane.
It was slowly consuming his willpower.
Eztein had a great advantage. With a dark-grade artifact, his strength was greatly enhanced compared to before. His [Dream Power], which doubled his attack, suppressed his opponents, forcing them into a defensive stance.
Eztein swiftly swung his spear repeatedly. It didn\'t matter if they blocked it or not, as he knew they wouldn\'t be able to keep fighting like this. They would collapse sooner or later.
Huff!
Eztein took a deep breath and was about to use a powerful move when the entire space trembled.
Boom!!
A loud sound echoed throughout the whole universe.
"What?!" Eztein momentarily paused.
Chan Yu, the elf, and the others also stopped as they felt a tremendous force tearing through the barrier that covered the fabric of space.
With a final boom, the barrier shattered along with the space.
A huge rift, larger than several galaxies, was formed. Powerful energy gushed out of it, enveloping everything. Countless people from various planets immediately collapsed, unable to endure such tremendous force.
A figure wearing a black cloak stepped out of the enormous spatial rift.
"The magic circle has been destroyed..." the figure muttered.
His voice carried a power that shook everyone to their cores.
"T-The messenger is here..." Chan Yu said with difficulty.
"Messenger?!" Eztein widened his eyes.
The Messenger of Gluttony.
They were enigmatic people who could appear everywhere, possessing great power that rivaled the top experts across the continent. They mostly spread the words of their god,
Gluttony.
All of the Messengers of Gluttony were Seven-circle officers. The Seven-circle officers had the power of the Hero-rank.
"A messenger arrived in this dimension?" Franklin narrowed his eyes.
A messenger didn\'t even appear in the three theaters, yet it appeared here in the lower dimension. Franklin felt that it was connected to the magic circle he destroyed.
"Hmm?" Franklin suddenly turned his head as he felt someone tug his clothes.
Eztein also looked around.
Swoosh!!
The messenger turned his head toward Chan Yu and the rest.
The elf expert felt suffocated by the insane amount of energy.
\'T-This guy can destroy our universe easily...\' she thought inwardly, her heart filled with fear.
"W-We made a blunder. I\'m Chan Yu, the one that was tasked with this mission," Chan Yu said with difficulty.
The messenger didn\'t say anything. He simply kept staring at them. His face was covered in darkness, so no one could see his actual appearance. The only notable thing about him was the symbol of Deadly Sins on his back.
After a while, he lifted his head and looked somewhere into space. Then, his head suddenly twisted, and blood spurted out of his neck like a fountain.
His body exploded, and the energy it contained spread out, pushing all the celestial bodies
away.
Bang!!
Chan Yu and the others were shocked by what they saw.
The messenger suddenly exploded?
Before they could even regain their senses, darkness spread out not far away from the
explosion, and the same messenger emerged from it.
"Ant, there\'s nowhere for you to go!"
A powerful voice resounded throughout the void.
...
Eztein and Franklin found themselves in a different place.
"You\'re here..."
The two turned around as they heard a familiar voice. They saw Vashno looking at them.
"What happened? A Messenger of Gluttony arrived, and then I felt something before I
vanished," Franklin asked.
"An expert from the Divine Sword Sect has arrived. He pulled you out of that world before he
made a move," Vashno explained.
"Divine Sword Sect?" Eztein raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah, the Divine Sword Sect is the nearest organization in this place." Vashno nodded.
This place was just near the border of the Immortal Land. The Immortal Land was divided into two lands: the north, ruled by one power, the Holy Land Heavenly Court, and the south, ruled
by various sects.
The experts in the south were quite different as they called themselves cultivators. They were powerful beings, and most of the sects were treated as large countries by people outside the
Immortal Land.
"We have to surrender a few of the red-grade artifacts that we got. That\'s the price," Vashno
said.
...
The messenger looked intently, his gaze piercing through reality itself. He saw a man with long black hair and a long robe holding the entire universe in his hand.
"Ant from Deadly Sins, you shall know that you\'re not welcome in this land. And you, the Blackstone Immortal Sect, will fall for this. You shall pay for this transgression."
Chan Yu turned pale upon hearing the voice.
This voice was from the Sword Saint of the Divine Sword Sect, a powerful sword cultivator
feared on the battlefield.
If that\'s the case, then their Blackstone Immortal Sect would face the might of the Divine Sword Sect. They would stand no chance since their sect was only a two-star power with no God Realm powerhouse.
As for the Divine Sword Sect, there were three God Realm powerhouses: the Sect Leader, also known as the Sword God, and the two Guardian Elders, also known as the Twin Star Sword
Annihilation.
As for the Sword Saint, he was one of the geniuses with the potential to reach the God Realm.
He himself was already at the Tenth Rank of the Shackled Realm.
"Die!"
The Sword Saint\'s voice resounded as his energy surged like a raging tide.
[Dragon Devouring Sword Slash]!!
In just a second, the entire universe collapsed, leaving nothing behind. Chan Yu, the Messenger of Gluttony, and everyone were obliterated into nothingness.
There was no resistance at all, as the Sword Saint greatly surpassed them in terms of
everything.
Swoosh!!
The Sword Saint appeared in the Imperium, Immortal Land. He was wearing a flowing robe
embroidered with various exquisite designs. His long black hair cascaded down his back, glowing faintly under the sunlight.
He turned his head, gazing in the direction of the Blackstone Immortal Sect.
In just a short amount of time, he gathered everything that he could. He scanned the lower dimension for information before he killed those people.
The destroyed magic circle that he saw was a summoning spell. That\'s right, the Deadly Sins
had a plan to summon their people in the lower dimension and slowly build an army there. Once there was an army, they could launch an attack on the Immortal Land.
\'And it\'s not the only magic circle... There are summoning magic circles in different parts of
the continent. I have to inform the Sect Leader about this. Also, there\'s a chance that other groups are colluding with the Deadly Sins, just like the Blackstone Immortal Sect.\'
The Sword Saint floated in the air with his hands on his back. He glanced down and saw
Vashno, Franklin, and Eztein.
With a wave of his hand, he retrieved a few red-grade artifacts from Franklin.
