Eternal Reverence

As the date of the Sword Pool's opening was getting closer, the Sword Star City was starting to sink into a temporary silence.

It seemed like everyone was accumulating their energy for that one moment.

In the manor, Li Fuchen was standing in front of a patch of green water. His body was emitting two kinds of supreme qi presence.

One was a primal and simple sword dao qi presence, while the other was a glorious and radiant sword dao qi presence.

A heaven lord possessed the supreme rate bloodline. However, not all heaven lords only had one supreme rate bloodline.

Take the Myriad Flower Lady for example, she didn't just have the wither glory bloodline, she also had a supreme rate sword dao bloodline.

The quantity of supreme rate bloodline couldn't determine the strength of a heaven lord, but the quality of the bloodline still determined which heaven lord was the strongest.

But with more supreme rate bloodlines, it would definitely make a heaven lord more comprehensive and flawless.

With the wither glory bloodline, the Myriad Flower Lady already controlled the life and death of all things. With the additional offense power of the supreme rate sword dao bloodline, her status in the Crosswise River Star Domain was just inferior to the Crosswise River Primogenitor. If she only had the wither glory bloodline, she wouldn't be able to achieve her current status.

Li Fuchen used the sword move, Sword Qi Origin Return to connect with the sword dao source power. Subsequently, Sword Sea Horizon and Sect Origin Sword had also successfully connected with the sword dao source power. Furthermore, he had already connected with 999 streaks of sword dao source power.

However, 999 streaks seemed like the limits and Li Fuchen found it hard to make any more breakthroughs.

Therefore, he went to research on the Splendor Sword Art.

His proficiency in the Primary Extreme Sword Art was too high and when he changed his research to the Splendor Sword Art, it was simply too smooth. He had easily pushed the Splendor Sword Art to top rate apex state. Immediately after, he connected with a streak of splendor sword dao source power, then 9 streaks… Until now, he had connected with 333 streaks of splendor sword dao source power.

As compared to the primary extreme sword dao, the splendor sword dao was definitely more domineering, graceful and also eye-catching.

If the primary extreme sword dao was described as an absolute expert that secluded himself, then the splendor sword dao was a bright and dazzling expert of the current generation.

…

On this day, the Sword Pool opened.

In the universe, countless swords resonating and all sorts of sword dao phenomena appeared out of nowhere. It was truly a stunning sight.

In the center of the Sword Star City, there was a pool below the giant sword that took up 100 miles. The pool had a mixture of colors and it looked illusory. From time to time, it would emitted sword images that were like steam and mist.

The Sword Pool was the no.1 sword dao cultivators' sacred ground in the Sword Star City. It contained thousands of sword intents. It was said that within the 3rd ring of the Sword Pool, there were supreme rate sword intents left behind by various sword dao heaven lords.

"The Sword Pool only opens once every 10,000 years. It is definitely a sword dao grand event in the Twin Horn Galaxy. I wonder what kind of sword dao prodigy would be produced."

At the Sword Pool's vicinity was the Sword Tower and there were two sword dao heaven lords standing there.

"The previous time, someone primed the Unbounded Doyen's unbounded sword intent. I wonder if anyone can prime a supreme rate sword intent of the same level?"

Supreme rate sword intents were also separated into different levels. The Deep Blue Plane's 1st Swordsmen Guildmaster, Unbounded Doyen was famous even in the Twin Horn Galaxy. His Unbounded Sword Art was known to be the top 10 supreme rate sword arts in the history of the Twin Horn Galaxy. It was imaginable that the unbounded sword intent was definitely one of the most powerful sword intents in the Sword Pool. It was definitely beyond comparison against other supreme rate sword intents.

"I heard that the Joint-Heaven Sword God's successor is here at the Sword Star City this time."

"There are too many Joint-Heaven Sword God's successors. If he only inherited a low-grade Joint-Heaven Sword, it wouldn't be worth mentioning."

"Someone mentioned that the Sword Pool contains a streak of true joint-heaven sword intent. I wonder who is able to prime it."

If the Unbounded DDoyen was famous in the Twin Horn Galaxy, then the Joint-Heaven Sword God was famous throughout the universe. His weapon, the Joint-Heaven Sword was known as the strongest sword among the Three Mighty Divine Swords. It had slaughtered countless saints, saint lords, and heaven lords.

Above the Sword Pool, there were tens of thousands of mats. The deeper into the inner rings, the lesser the mats.

The sword intents in the Sword Pool were too violent. If the practitioner didn't sit on the mat, they would be constantly impacted by the sword intents and it would be impossible to cultivate in peace.

"They are here!"

On the Sword Tower, the two sword dao heaven lords saw countless sword dao saint lords rushing over to the Sword Pool.

Sword dao saint lords that could get near to the Sword Pool were naturally unparalleled sword dao saint lords. Even if a regular sword dao saint lord was allowed to enter, they wouldn't be able to do it. Under the impacts from the Sword Pool's sword intents, without any exceptions, they were all unparalleled sword dao saint lords.

"This time, I must enter the 5th ring of the Sword Pool."

The unparalleled sword dao saint lord at the front didn't decrease his speed as he rushed towards the deeper rings.

Tss Tss Tss…

It felt as though sharp swords pierced through his body as a blood mist burst out.

The unparalleled sword dao saint lord was forced to retreat with a horrified expression.

"Without a certain level of strength, even if no one is obstructing, it isn't possible to enter the deeper rings of the Sword Pool." An unparalleled sword dao saint lord sneered.

The unparalleled sword dao saint lords were extremely fast. In just a moment, the Sword Pool that covered a hundred mile had been mostly filled up. It was especially so in the outer rings, and only the inner rings were still a little empty.

The 10th ring of the Sword Pool didn't need any contest as there were plenty of mats here.

The 9th ring would need a little contest. However, it wasn't too intense.

From the 8th ring of the 5th ring, the competition got increasingly intensive.

Those who could enter the inner rings were all formidable individuals among the unparalleled sword dao saint lords. No one was willing to concede as there were at least two individuals contesting for one mat. Sometimes, three to five individuals would be contesting for a single mat, making it abnormally aggressive.

"Sword Heart Tranquility."

10,000 years ago, the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord could only cultivate in the 10th ring. This time, he was obviously not going to be satisfied with just the 10th ring. He had already connected with eight streaks of wind cloud sword dao source power and could contest for the 5th ring. If it didn't work, it would be fine to stay in the 6th ring too.

Inside the 5th ring, the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord was in a battle against a powerful unparalleled sword dao saint lord. There was a mat in their vicinity.

Not far from the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord, the Heartless Sword Saint Lord was also in a battle with an unparalleled sword dao saint lord. His strength was slightly inferior to the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord, therefore, he was also qualified to compete for a mat in the 5th ring.

The Shadow Stalk Sword Saint Lord and the Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess were significantly weaker, therefore, they could only contest for the 7th ring.

At the 2nd ring, the Mystic Void Sword Saint Lord just defeated a competitor. All of a sudden, there was a cold and translucent sword light that whizzed over.

"Void sword dao?" The Mystic Void Sword Saint Lord raised his brows as he also cultivated the void sword dao.

Clang!

The sharp edges of two swords clashed. The Mystic Void Sword Saint Lord yelled out, "It is the Joint-Heaven Sword. Are you a successor of the Joint-Heaven Sword God?"

The Mystic Void Sword Saint Lord once crossed moves with a Joint-Heaven Sword God successor, therefore, he recognized the Joint-Heaven Sword.

"Since you know, hurry up and get lost."

This Joint-Heaven Sword God successor was an arrogant and untamed youth. He wielded the Joint-Heaven Sword and executed sharp sword moves that had countless variations. He was obviously attacking from the left, but the sword light came from the right.

"Hmph, you are merely wielding a low-grade Joint-Heaven Sword. I might be apprehensive if you are wielding a mid-grade Joint-Heaven Sword."

The Mystic Void Sword Saint Lord wasn't fearful at all. His sword art was like a kaleidoscope that was neither real or illusory. It had trapped his enemy.

"The Sword Pool's sword intents are isolated. The commotion of battle over here isn't too big."

On the surface of the Sword Pool, Li Fuchen walked unhurriedly. Along the way, there were unparalleled sword dao saint lords that intentionally or unintentionally approached him. All of them were sent flying.

Soon enough, Li Fuchen arrived at the 2nd ring.

"Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord, I said that I will battle with you at the Sword Pool."

The Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord wielded a golden sword and his body was oozing with a sword dao qi presence of supremacy.

"It is the Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord. He wants to challenge the Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord. Let's watch first."

Those who could come to the 2nd ring were all sword dao prodigies from various star domains. Using their sword dao senses, they knew clearly about the Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord's terrifying strength. Li Fuchen was also unfathomable.

They heard recent rumors of Li Fuchen defeating multiple unparalleled sword dao saint lords without drawing his sword. His fame was even above the Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord.

The battle between the two immediately attracted a lot of attention.

"I too said that you are not a match for me." Li Fuchen shook his head.

"Big words. Receive my sword move, Across the World!"

The Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord burst out with a yell. His sole supremacy qi presence felt as though it was descending to conquer and suppress chaos. At the same time, an extremely bright sword light flew towards Li Fuchen.

"Such a terrifying sword move."

An outsider would be watching a show, but an insider would be able to see the details.

In the eyes of the Primordial Sword Saint Lord and the Extreme Star Sword Saint Lord, the Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord's sword move was unimaginably domineering. If they received it head-on, they didn't believe they could match it.

Of course, it wasn't necessary for them to receive it head-on.

"Interesting sword move, it should have connected with over 100 streaks of source power."

As Li Fuchen walked inwards of the Sword Pool, he had a rough estimate of strength distribution in each ring.

The 10th ring would be for the weakest unparalleled sword dao saint lords and they had yet to comprehend quasi-supreme rate sword arts.

The 9th to 8th rings were for sword dao saint lords who comprehended quasi-supreme rate sword arts.

The 7th ring was for those who connected with the source power.

The 6th to 5th rings were for those who connected with many streaks of source power.

The 4th to 3rd rings were for those who connected with dozens or near 100 streaks of source power.

At the 2nd ring, all the sword dao saint lords have connected with at least 100 streaks of source power. Their strengths were comparable with the Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord.

"Not making a move yet?"

The sword light that the Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord released was already in front of Li Fuchen.

"It is too weak and not qualified for me to draw my sword."

A dazzling sword light was frozen in place just one feet away from Li Fuchen.

"What?!"

Not only the Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord, even the Extreme Star Sword Saint Lord and the Primordial Sword Saint Lord had widened eyes.

The Tower Cloud Sword Saint Lord who had connected with over 100 streaks of source power couldn't even break open Li Fuchen's sword qi protection and was frozen in place. How many streaks of source power had Li Fuchen connected? 200 streaks or 250 streaks?
