Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 1179 The Two Immortal Kings

The dark power was completely dispelled in the blue sea and sky ahead. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, the immortal aura surged, and the power of the rules was complete. It was like a sun in the darkness, illuminating the burying land of the immortals.

Ding Hao and the others were surprised and quickly rushed forward.

After covering a distance of a hundred miles, they quickly found the source of the immortal light.

It was a grand yin-yang altar, black and white in color, hundreds of meters above the ground. The black color was pure black, different from the dark power outside. The white color was full of holiness. The black and white colors were in line with the Tao of Yin and Yang. The altar was antique, simple, flawless, and looked like winding, circling black and white dragons.

Around the black-and-white yin-yang altar, there were thousands of immortals’ remains sitting cross-legged and facing the altar. There were creatures of all clans. The corpses of these immortals were not withered like those in the outside world. Instead, they were round and plump. Their skin was as crystal clear and flawless as white jade, emitting faint brilliance. Their beards and hair fluttered slightly. At first glance, they seemed to be alive, but if one looked carefully, one would find that their vitality had been exhausted. Even their armor and weapons had been exhausted of their Spiritual Qi, just like those of the outside.

“Maybe it’s because the immortal light here is strong. Although these immortals died of weakness, their bodies are still the same as they were when they were alive.” Ding Hao guessed.

Everyone’s eyes fell on the top of the black-and-white yin-yang altar.

There were two towering figures standing there, like kings of immortals. The endless immortal light here was emitted from these two figures, shining in all directions. The bright immortal aura was as surging as an ocean, and it was endless. Its strength was far beyond that of the people present, which made people’s hearts palpitate.

Could it be that there were living immortals?

Everyone was shocked and slowly approached.

At this moment, there was a flash of light around Ding Hao, and the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword voluntarily came out of his sea of consciousness. They buzzed and vibrated violently. For a moment, they were out of Ding Hao’s control and went straight to the two figures on the black-and-white yin-yang altar. The sound of the saber and the sword was endless. The sound contained great sadness, echoing between heaven and earth, making people feel sad.

The others looked at Ding Hao in surprise.

Ding Hao had already expected it, so he was not shocked.

The Rusted Sword and the Devil Saber turned into two streams of flowing light, rotating around the two figures on the black-and-white yin-yang Altar, one on the left and the other on the right, making long mournful cries. It was as if they were wanderers who had been away from their hometown for a long time that finally came home. When they returned home, they saw that their parents had passed away. The sadness and pain spread out and infected the people around them.

“That’s the displays of affection of the Saber Master and the Sword Master, not the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword.”

Ding Hao vaguely knew the real identities of the two figures on the black-and-white yin-yang altar. They should be the former owners of the Saber Master and the Sword Master. Otherwise, the two old monsters would not have been so excited and so sad. Unfortunately, although these two people were much stronger than the surrounding immortals, they still could not escape the fate of decay.

Perhaps this was the sorrow of the immortals.

The group went up the stairs and arrived at the peak of the black-and-white yin-yang altar.

At a close distance, they could finally see the faces of the two people. They were a man and a woman, both of whom were elegant and unrestrained figures. They were about 30 years old, sitting cross-legged on the top of the altar. Their faces were lifelike as if they were still alive. Ding Hao vaguely felt that the man’s face was a little familiar. He thought about it carefully. Wasn’t the first appearance of the Sword Master in the small world on the Rusted Sword exactly the same as the man in front of him? At that time, the Saber Master had once despised the Sword Master and said that he had used the image of his former master to show up.

Now it seemed that Ding Hao’s previous speculation was absolutely correct. These two people on the top of the altar were the former owners of the Saber Master and the Sword Master.

Powerful and endless immortal light surged out of their bodies like a vast ocean, making it a little difficult for the crowd to stand still. It could be imagined how terrifying these two people’s strength was when they were still alive. Ordinary experts in the Celestial Realm could not compare with them.

Two balls of light emerged from the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword and turned into two figures.

They were the Saber Master and the Sword Master.

Like children, they stumbled to the two figures and lay prone on the ground, crying loudly. They were souls, and they seemed illusory. Their figures were blurred, but there were real tears rolling down their faces. Obviously, they could not control their emotions. Such intense emotions were not good for the Saber Master and the Sword Master. They had not fully recovered yet. Although they could leave the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword, they could not maintain their bodies for a long time. Otherwise, their strength would be weakened.

“Master, I’m back!” the Sword Master shouted and hugged the handsome man in white.

The Saber Master sobbed and knelt in front of the female immortal in black.

The Great Ape King, Wen Duoqing, and the others were surprised. They didn’t expect that Ding Hao would have such souls with him. The shadows of the man and the woman were obviously the servants of the immortal kings on the altar. They hadn’t died since the Immortal Period. They were like living fossils and had mastered countless secrets and cultivation methods. No wonder Ding Hao had risen so quickly. These two souls must have contributed a lot to his rise.

Ding Hao did not make any explanation.

At that time, even if the identities of the Saber Master and the Sword Master were exposed, it would not matter.

Just as Ding Hao was about to step forward to comfort them, a voice rang out between heaven and earth without warning.

“Silly child, don’t cry.” It was a man’s voice as gentle as a spring breeze, which made people feel close to him and trust him.

The Sword Master, who was wailing, suddenly trembled. He looked up at the handsome man in white in front of him and said in great surprise, “Master, you… you’re still alive. This… This is great. I was so scared…”

Ding Hao and the others were also greatly shocked.

“Good heavens! Could it be that this Immortal King in white is still alive?”

However, the Immortal King in white in front of them did not move at all, and there was no fluctuation of vitality from him. When everyone was confused, he suddenly opened his eyes slowly. There was a gentle smile on his frozen face. He raised his hand and gently stroked the Sword Master’s head, like a kind father, with a kind expression in his eyes.

“Is he really alive?”

Ding Hao and the others were stunned.

However, when they looked carefully, they found that the white-robed Immortal King’s body was still frozen and did not move at all. What everyone had seen before was an act from his illusory and vague soul-like figure.

“Master… you… have sealed your immortal soul… Why? With your cultivation, you could’ve avoided being killed in this war. Why did you choose to do this? Boohoo…” At this moment, the Sword Master was crying like a child, and the tears of his soul slipped down little by little.

“Silly child, don’t cry. I was born in this world, but I failed to protect living creatures and turn the tide. Since the world has been destroyed, it’s meaningless for me to struggle to survive.” The soul in the white-robed Immortal King’s body smiled and stroked the Sword Master’s head. He said, “If I had destroyed my foundation and struggled to survive, I would be taken advantage of by that person in the end. How could I allow my power and Immortal Source to be stolen by such a lowly and dirty person?”

“Master, boohoo…” The Sword Master mourned.

“You have returned. Does it mean that the couple who did not exist in the Immortal Period has fulfilled their previous promise?” A female voice as pleasant as a fairy voice sounded. A soul body also appeared in the body of the female Immortal King in black. She held the soul body of the Saber Master in her arms. However, she looked at Ding Hao and the others and said, “Is one of you the descendant of the couple?”

Ding Hao was slightly stunned. He took a step forward and said, “Greetings, senior.”

The eyes of the White-Robed Immortal King and the soul of the Immortal King in Black fell on Ding Hao. There was no might or momentum in them. They just looked at him quietly. They then looked at each other and nodded slightly.

“You have the bloodline of Saintly Being of Saber and Sword and the Seven Star-shaped Eyes of Fate. You have combined with Jade in Stone, cultivated the power of dual meridians of ice and fire, and comprehended the True Meaning of Saber and Sword. Not bad, not bad.” The white-robed Immortal King nodded with a smile.

“It’s estimable of you to suppress your own power and not choose to undergo the Immortal Disaster. Your courage is quite impressive. I admire it.” The black-robed female Immortal King nodded as well.

Ding Hao’s heart was pounding.

These two Immortal Kings were only spirit beings, yet they were able to see through all of his trump cards with a single glance. Their strength was truly terrifying to the extreme.

One could imagine how powerful and frightening they had been when they were at their peak. The kings of immortals, the ones capable of commanding tens of thousands of immortals, were most definitely supreme beings. However, even with their strength, they were still unable to escape the calamity that had befallen them. From this, one could imagine how frightening Hades True Immortal was.

“However, your cultivation is still too weak… not enough to compete with that person,” the white-robed Immortal King said. “If you were given enough time, you might have the strength to fight against him. But now… what a pity!”

“How is the situation in the outside world?” the black-clothed female Immortal King asked.

Ding Hao was stunned and didn’t know what to say. He could only tell them the number of experts of the Immortal Tao between heaven and earth, as well as the time and the changes in the world.

“So that’s how it is. There’s still a chance.” The white-clothed Immortal King’s soul body’s expression eased up slightly.

“Ying, the best of friends must part. Don’t cry. We were fated to be together. Back then, I asked the unknown couple to take you away because I hoped that you could live forever and see the world for me. Although your body has been destroyed, you got the body of the former master of the Devil Saber by chance. Although it is incomplete, it is more powerful than your previous body. Your new master is also the cream of the crop. You should cherish him.”

...

The female Immortal King held the Saber Master in her arms and whispered like sisters.

The Saber Master, who was usually arrogant, had burst into tears at this moment, like a little girl who was panicked.

“So there’s still hope in the world. Your name is Ding Hao, right? Well, since you have come as promised, we will grant you good fortune today.” The soul of the Immortal King in white smiled and turned to look at the female Immortal King in black.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Their eyes were filled with endless tenderness and sweetness. They were just like a pair of lovers in love.

The next moment, the souls of the two Immortal Kings respectively emerged from their remains. They flashed in the void, turned into two light spots, swooped down, and instantly entered Ding Hao’s body.
