Chapter 1355 – Fortunes of the Military
Ye Qingyu was practically invincible with the sword in his hand.
Although the King of Destruction and Abandoned Fiendgod had joined forces, they were losing badly.
Ye Qingyu displayed the [One Sword to Destroy All Things] technique to its maximum potential and effortlessly destroyed all of the techniques that the Kings of Sovereigns employed against him.
"Time for you to die," he said.
He had his "eureka" moment and had truly mastered the power of resurrection. After merging his one hundred eight ancient characters mysterious technique with his Life Sword sword will, he was now as powerful as a current Immortal King. He could mobilize the power of the universe and people with a single slash of his sword and had the power to destroy everything in his path with his sword.
Swish!
His sword light flashed.
The King of Destruction's newly evolved bony arm was easily slashed into two halves by his sword, like straw slashed by a farmer's sickle.
"Ah…" the King of Destruction yelled angrily and quickly retreated. He could feel Ye Qingyu's sword will invading his body. He barely managed to subdue this destructive sword will after he frantically used his technique to exert his divine abilities. However, he was unable to draw on his abilities to grow another arm.
Ye Qingyu had imbued his sword will with a power that could counter the King of Destruction's techniques and divine abilities.
Rumble!
His sword radiance fell like a meteor shower.
There was an earth-shattering ripping sound, then the planets refined by the Abandoned Fiendgod were completely destroyed. Half his head was also hacked off by Ye Qingyu's sword, and his essence, spirit, and blood qi spilled across space.
"Wait, what kind of power is this?" the Abandoned Fiendgod yelled in horror.
Something was wrong.
Both the King of Destruction and himself were Kings of Sovereigns who could not be killed or destroyed. They were even closer to enjoying eternal life than the fiendgods who ruled over their own Star Domains. Logically speaking, they couldn't have been injured so badly after several clashes with their opponent, and to make things worse, they had even joined forces to defeat Ye Qingyu, but were still being crushed by him. The fact that the power that circulated around Ye Qingyu's body and the power contained in his sword will could cause such serious damage meant that he had already surpassed the King of Sovereigns realm.
Yet, Ye Qingyu was merely a highly skilled expert who had emerged over the past few million years.
The Vast Thousand Star Domains had endless potential, but it was still an emerging star domain. Even if the rumors were true that it contained the secret to eternity, it was impossible for this star domain to produce such a powerful expert, who had even surpassed the King of Sovereigns realm.
Ye Qingyu did not respond.
His sword will from his Life Sword appeared once again and rays of boundless sword will charged out into the void.
Soon after, the Abandoned Fiendgod and the King of Destruction were injured once more.
However, these two Kings of Sovereigns were almost eternal beings and had a wealth of history behind them. They had mastered the most frightening power in the world and they had each crawled out from piles of corpses, experienced countless battles, and had managed to survive even the most perilous situation. Thus, they would not retreat nor be overcome with despair despite their shock and rage at how powerful their opponent was.
"Refining the heavens, earth, and fiendgods… Maximum refinery."
The Abandoned Fiendgod cried out angrily and drew on his origin power. Then, his true form expanded once again and the power of laws circulated as he reached into the void and pulled out a giant flaming planet. He held the giant flaming planet in his hand, and after he suddenly pressed down on the planet, a strange transformation started to take place. The planet's flames were extinguished and it turned into a black hole that had a terrifying suction power!
A black hole!
Ye Qingyu immediately understood what the Abandoned Fiendgod was trying to do.
There were many descriptions of heavenly black holes recorded in the civilization of ancient Earth. They were thought to be some of the most terrifying heavenly phenomena in the world, and there were theories that they were related to the origin of the universe.
The black hole refined by the Abandoned Fiendgod was starkly different from a natural black hole and contained an even more terrifying power. Ye Qingyu's heart skipped a beat in fear and he guessed that this was one of the Abandoned Fiendgod's lethal moves that was employed using his trump cards.
Ye Qingyu soon sensed a suction power that was indescribably strong from the mysterious black hole. He realized that it was harder to control his power under the continued interference of this suction power and that this mysterious black hole seemed intent on pulling his soul straight out of his body.
The King of Destruction had opened up the destruction realm once again and his frightening willpower swept across the surroundings maniacally. The chaotic mist of nothingness appeared and swallowed Ye Qingyu's figure.
"It's useless," Ye Qingyu said with a laugh and the sword will from his Life Sword surged wildly.
The mysteries contained within his [One Sword to Destroy All Things] technique was the nemesis of all divine abilities.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Every flash of his sword light released a ray of endless white galaxies into the universe.
Boom!
The King of Destruction was sent flying once more and a sword slash could clearly be seen on his large belly. He released a sticky green weapon from his mouth, which looked as vicious as blood. It contained large amounts of core foundation power and completely enveloped the King of Destruction as though it was trying to heal his wounds.
Ye Qingyu did not pursue him, but instead, he flipped his sword around and another galaxy spilled out of his sword light.
Rumble!
The Abandoned Fiendgod was sent flying.
The mysterious black hole could not withstand the power of this sword and showed signs of breaking apart.
These two Kings of Sovereigns had called upon their trump cards and divine abilities but they were still unable to defeat Ye Qingyu. All resistance was futile in the face of his mighty and divine sword will. The Abandoned Fiendgod and the King of Destruction yelled angrily as they couldn't believe that their opponent had become so powerful in a matter of a few million years. Ye Qingyu's sword techniques and power clearly showed that he was a whisker away from comprehending the true meaning of eternity…
"Show me what else you've got. Otherwise, prepare to be slain today," he said as he rapidly approached them with his sword.
Ye Qingyu carried his sword and rapidly drew closer.
His sword way and divine abilities had reached such incredible heights that they could destroy everything and were extremely hardy. He managed to crush two Kings of Sovereigns single-handedly. His combat will surged from him, his muscles relaxed, his divine sense exploded from him, and he pushed himself to unprecedented heights. His aura continued to skyrocket and he had a feeling that he was invincible. As long as this feeling continued, he believed that he could surpass the King of Sovereigns realm to reach another divine realm.
The King of Destruction and the Abandoned Fiendgod were forced to retreat repeatedly.
They could only try to defend themselves and were unable to counter with attacks of their own.
However, they would rather die in battle than give up.
They had joined forces to defeat Ye Qingyu, but they were not even his match. If they fled now, they knew that Ye Qingyu would pursue them relentlessly and kill them. It would be better to continue this fight. They might still stand a chance of survival if they did that. Moreover, they did not have an alternate plan.
The destruction realm opened as far as it could go.
The Abandoned Fiendgod created another mysterious black hole.
Ye Qingyu laughed loudly and was about to slash out with his Life Sword…
"The army is powering on strongly, so fate is on my side," the Abandoned Fiendgod yelled loudly as he punched out a technique to employ a mysterious divine ability.
Instantly, a strange energy swept forth from the depths of the universal void that made the Abandoned Fiendgod even stronger.
Ye Qingyu clearly sensed the Abandoned Fiendgod's strength skyrocketing all of a sudden after this wave of energy swept toward him. Then, the black hole that the Abandoned Fiendgod had created actually managed to block Ye Qingyu's sword.
"Hmm? This is the power of fate, but where is he drawing this strength from?" Ye Qingyu wondered.
At the same time, the King of Destruction also chanted an ancient and strange incantation as he activated the mysterious power of fate from the depths of the void that made his cultivation soar. He crossed his bony arms in front of him and barely managed to block Ye Qingyu's sword will.
"How did he manage to draw on the power of fate in the nick of time?" Ye Qingyu muttered in surprise.
The Kings of Sovereigns were the ones who were blessed by fate and had gathered the maximum amount of fortunes from their own star domain. It would be extremely difficult for them to gather even more fortune from their home star domain, let alone the fortunes from a foreign star domain.
This did not seem possible.
Where were they drawing their power of fate from?
He exerted his Light Emperor Detection Technique and instantly discovered the truth.
The power of fate they were drawing on was not of the star domain but they were drawing on the fortunes of their military strength.
The fortunes of their military strength were currently on the astronomical continent, and it was also the fortunes of their military troops on the ground at the moment.
Ye Qingyu immediately understood the significance of the military clashes on the astronomical continent and realized that they could extract the fortunes of the military through these clashes and gain reinforcements from these battles. After all, a battle between experts was also a kind of military expedition, so the fortunes of the troops would be a significant boost in such expeditions.
Moreover, the military troops who had managed to make it all the way to the astronomical continent were all the top-level experts of each Star Domain.
Thus, the fortunes they carried with them would be even more terrifying.
Ye Qingyu had not understood the significance of this earlier.
He had commanded the military headquarters for more than two thousand years in order to prevent the Invaders from swarming into the Vast Thousand Star Domains. And this time he had only led his troops to the astronomical continent because he vaguely sensed the presence of Invaders amongst the military. He didn't realize that the military expedition he had led to the astronomical continent carried such a huge significance.
"Now that the fortunes of the military are on me, you won’t be able to hold me down with your [One Sword to Destroy All Things] technique," the King of Destruction said as he let out a loud howl. His apocalyptic mental prowess swept across space powerfully, his stance became even stronger, and he started to aggressively attack Ye Qingyu.
The Abandoned Fiendgod did not say anything else but he similarly switched from a defensive stance to an attacking stance and started to frantically attack Ye Qingyu.
They fully intended on destroying Ye Qingyu in one move by drawing on the fortunes of the military.
Ye Qingyu understood what they were trying to do but he remained calm and composed. His Life Sword continued to slash out continuously and his sword will exploded powerfully from his sword as he unleashed the divine abilities of his [One Sword to Destroy All Things] technique and sent galaxy-like sword will spilling across space.
Rumble!
There was a rapid series of explosions.
However, the Abandoned Fiendgod and the King of Destruction were unharmed even though they were knocked back by the force of the explosions.
Clearly, they were now powerful enough to face off against him after they had drawn on the fortunes of their military strength and could defend themselves against the power of Ye Qingyu's [One Sword to Destroy All Things] technique.
The situation started to turn in their favor.
Ye Qingyu suddenly pulled himself out of the fight and rapidly put some distance between them.
At the same time, he exerted his one hundred eight ancient characters mysterious technique and a mysterious force surged before a boundless wave of energy swept toward him from the direction of the astronomical continent to make him even more powerful. Ye Qingyu's aura underwent an even more terrifying and mysterious transformation.
The King of Destruction froze in shock before he yelled in disbelief, "The fortunes of the military?" "How could it be? How could the strength from the fortunes of the military be so powerful…" The energy that Ye Qingyu had drawn on from the astronomical continent had indeed been the fortunes of the military. And to their disbelief, the energy wave that had appeared was even more powerful than the ones that the King of Destruction and the Abandoned Fiendgod had gathered from the astronomical continent. It was many times more terrifying and bountiful than theirs.
