Eternal Reverence

"Elder Li, I have a presumptuous request. I wonder if you can lend me the supreme rate artifact sword?"

The Phenomenon Sword Saint was rather embarrassed. He was worried that Li Fuchen might assume he was eyeing for the supreme rate artifact sword. He actually wanted to use it to deal with the demons. Even the weakest demon overlord would have the strength of a high-level saint. Furthermore, the demons had insanely tough bodies and insane vitality that were superior to demonic beasts. It was easy to defeat them, but extremely difficult to kill them. But with the supreme rate artifact sword, things would be easy. Any demon overlords weaker than the Phenomenon Sword Saint would be killed in a single sword. Even those demon overlords that were stronger wouldn't be able to resist the blade of the supreme rate artifact sword.

Li Fuchen took out the Joint-Heaven Sword and said with an apologetic tone, "This sword has yet to be truly unsealed. It was unsealed back then because the Sword Spirit forcefully connected the sword patterns. Right now, the Sword Spirit has been in a slumber for a long time."

"So that is the case!" The Phenomenon Sword Saint let out a sigh. He originally thought that he could obtain the help of the supreme rate artifact sword. It seemed like he was overthinking it.

The battle tower was located in the battle cities.

Each of the nine high-class continents had a battle city and each battle city had a battle tower.

After arriving at the battle city, Li Fuchen saw a tall tower with 100 floors.

The plaza outside the tower was packed with people and a massive number of people were surging into the tall tower.

But this tower had something special within and wouldn't be congested no matter how many people entered.

"Everyone, follow me to slaughter the demons. The more we slaughter, the stronger our qi fate."

Apart from the major factions which would organize groups of martial artists to head for the battle regions, martial artists who didn't have factions would also organize groups amongst themselves. Some were doing it because of their righteousness, some were doing it to gain the favor of the plane willpower, while some were doing it to train themselves.

The Swordsmen Guild had split into five groups and were each led by one of the five main elders.

Li Fuchen led his group and headed for no.19 battle region.

The interior of the battle tower was truly amazing. From outside, it looked like a tower that had a diameter of a few hundred meters. However, it was 100 miles in diameter on the inside. Each floor had a giant teleportation array in the middle. The teleportation arrays were swirling gradually and were teleporting tens of thousands of martial artists.

The teleportation array heading for no.19 battle region was located on the 19th floor. Li Fuchen's groups flew up directly.

…

No.19 battle region included ten mid-class continents and a huge sea region.

On this day, at the center of no.19 battle region, a mountain suddenly exploded on an ordinary island. It revealed the battle tower hidden within the mountain.

There was a burst of light and multiple figures rushed out.

"This is my first time leaving the Saint Spirit Continent."

"Same for me."

"It feels so relaxing. I feel like I can split the sea with a single palm."

Rumble.

A Law Phase Realm emperor executed a palm strike and split open a chasm that was a few hundred miles in length. He couldn't help but get a shock.

"Everyone, please wait here for a moment."

After giving the instruction, Li Fuchen's figure flashed and vanished immediately.

Li Fuchen's travel speed was now extremely fast and he took just half a day to reach the vicinity of the Emperor Sky Continent.

"There is demon qi."

All of a sudden, Li Fuchen felt a wave of demon qi that swept over from the horizon.

Li Fuchen scanned with his spiritual awareness.

"It is a demon army."

Li Fuchen had a change in expression. A few hundred thousand miles away, there was a demon army with countless demons and they were rushing over like a carpet.

"Haha, I, Phillie, have great luck. I didn't think I would encounter another saint, and it is actually a body refinement saint."

The void melted and an extremely powerful demon walked out.

The demon had dark red hair and the body was surging with a flaming qi presence. But the flaming qi presence wasn't like ordinary flames. They emitted an indescribable feeling of darkness.

"Demon overlord!" This was Li Fuchen's first time facing a demon overlord.

A demon overlord was different from a beast overlord. There weren't any so-called tiers for demon overlords. The weakest demon overlord would have strength that was comparable to human high-level saints. To be truthful, if it was the previous Li Fuchen, he wouldn't be a match for any demon overlord.

"Kil!"

Without wasting time, Li Fuchen drew the Autumn Rain Sword and slashed.

"Courting death." Phillie turned into a bundle of dark red flames and engulfed Li Fuchen.

Pfff!

The dark red flames were split apart and Li Fuchen emerged.

"I have underestimated you."

Phillie lowered his head and saw a sword wound on his chest. The sword ran across his entire body and even though it merely split his skin, it was already very remarkable.

"Such a tough defense." Li Fuchen's expression changed.

"To show you respect, I shall fight with my full strength."

With a swing of the right hand, a streak of flame sliced at Li Fuchen.

Swish!

Li Fuchen dodged with a flash.

Rumble!

A huge chasm was opened up under the sea. It was so deep that even the seabed was visible.

"Sky Earth Roam."

Li Fuchen leaped up and turned into a matchless sword light and was slicing around Phillie's body.

Pfff Pfff Pfff…

Phillie wasn't a match for Li Fuchen as sword wounds started to appear on his body. There were sword wounds that reached bone deep.

"Damn it!"

Phillie turned into flames again and rushed out of the sword light's range.

"Sky Light Flying Sword!"

Li Fuchen's figure was revealed and with a slash, endless sword light gathered and flew out like a gigantic waterfall of light.

Phillie couldn't dodge in time and could only withstand with his hands raised at the front. The dark red flames formed a shield as it struggled to resist.

Cling Cling Clang Clang…

The flame shield was getting thinner and there was a cracking sound before the shield was shattered. Phillie was buried in the waterfall of sword light and with each breath, he would be cleansed by the sword light countless times.

"Is this still not enough?"

Seeing Phillie getting covered in wounds, but didn't have a weakening of qi presence, Li Fuchen knew that ordinary moves wouldn't be sufficient.

"Sky Fire Sun Crack Sword."

With the execution of the sword move, a sun gradually rose up.

The sun was humongous and just as Phillie wanted to dodge, he was struck.

Immediately after, countless spheres of light flew out. These light spheres were shot out from Phillie's body. This sword move finally dealt a severe injury to Phillie.

"Phillie, do you need my help?" A cold and old-fashioned voice echoed.

"Gura, what are you idling for?"

Phillie was enraged. Li Fuchen was far stronger than his imagination. He assumed that human saints were very weak.

"Heavy Star Boundary!"

Li Fuchen was already prepared to deal with two demon overlords, but he was still caught off guard. The opponent's innate ability was terrifying. There was a dark star that appeared above Li Fuchen and due to the immense gravity, Li Fuchen's movements were impaired.

"Flames of Darkness!"

The severely injured Phillie roared and smashed dark purple flames on Li Fuchen.

The blazing flames were burning and Phillie felt it was a waste. Even though stronger than him would be turned into ashes after getting struck by his Flames of Darkness. He felt that it was a waste of the essence blood in Li Fuchen's body.

"Sky Phase Roaming Dragon Thrust!"

The flames scattered and a translucent dragon burst out to pierce through Phillie's body.

Phillie's eyes widened as his terrifying vitality was declining rapidly.
