Chapter 727 The Sword Way That Cuts Through Everything
Whenever he recalls that silver sword energy that almost sliced through his soul, the Emperor's body would shudder uncontrollably, and a deep chill, originating from his instincts, would rush from his tailbone straight to the top of his head.
It was also because of that painful lesson of being so close to death that the Emperor's unrealistic fantasy of wanting to engage in close combat with the other party and trade injuries for injuries was completely shattered.
He finally understood an incredibly cruel reality.
The opponent was indeed just a phantom, and its defense might not be very strong; it could be dispersed with just one punch.
However, beneath this premise lies a trap: the opponent could kill him instantly with a single sword strike at close range.
Faced with that terrifying mechanism that "ignores all defenses," he dared not approach it at all.
Getting close to the other side is tantamount to suicide.
This deep-seated fear made the Emperor never dare to let the white-robed youth come within ten thousand miles of him again.
He cast aside all pride and dignity in the face of survival.
He would rather be chased and hacked across the universe like a stray dog than experience the suffocating feeling of death holding a scythe to his neck again.
They were afraid of getting too close and being instantly killed by a casual sword strike from the other party.
Of course, as a powerful and ruthless figure, Emperor Zun did not completely give up resistance after realizing that he would die in close combat.
During his long escape, his brilliant mind was also working frantically, trying to find other ways to break the deadlock.
If melee combat is suicide, then what about ranged attacks?
Relying on his profound foundation accumulated over millions of years, as well as the all-encompassing and all-evolving heaven-defying ability of the Chaos Holy Body, the Emperor began to frantically use various incredibly powerful long-range attack techniques while widening the distance, attempting to stop the persistent white-robed youth behind him.
"Great Void Collapse Technique!"
As the Emperor fled frantically ahead, he suddenly pressed down with his backhand.
The vast expanse of the universe, spanning billions of miles, shattered instantly like a fragile mirror under his touch.
Countless violent spatial turbulences converged into an enormous black hole, resembling a colossal cosmic beast with its jaws wide open, devouring the white-robed youth behind it.
In his view, the white-robed youth couldn't possibly ignore a spatial collapse of this magnitude.
Even a true emperor who tries to withstand it head-on will be severely injured in an instant.
However, even when faced with this terrifying black hole that could devour entire star systems, the white-robed youth did not pause for a moment.
He merely glanced indifferently at the black hole, then casually slashed forward with his longsword.
"Sizzle!"
A thin, wisp of sword light flashed past, and the all-consuming spatial black hole was instantly split in two, as if a painting had been cut in half.
The violent spatial turbulence was forcibly smoothed out by a higher-dimensional rule the moment it came into contact with the sword light, restoring deathly silence and calm.
"That's impossible!"
The Emperor's heart was filled with turmoil, but he gritted his teeth and, refusing to believe it, changed his incantation again.
"Heaven-Burning Flames! Burn them!"
With his roar, a dark red blazing fire, radiating a terrifying intensity capable of igniting even the emperor's soul, swept over the white-robed youth like an inverted sea of fire.
This karmic fire does not burn the physical body, but only burns karma and sins. It is one of the most vicious and difficult-to-defend flames in all the heavens and myriad realms.
However, the young man in white remained as calm and composed as ever.
He pointed his longsword diagonally, and a wisp of sword energy swept across the sea of fire like a gentle breeze.
A chilling scene has occurred again.
The raging karmic fire that could ignite even cause and effect was extinguished instantly when it encountered that sword energy. It didn't even struggle, as if its "burning" attribute was directly severed by some kind of conceptual power, turning into cold ashes that filled the sky.
"Nine Heavens Purple Mansion World-Destroying Divine Thunder!"
The Emperor's eyes had turned completely bloodshot, and he summoned the purple lightning, known as the ultimate heavenly punishment.
Billions of thick, mountain-like purple lightning dragons roared in the starry sky, carrying the might of a great world to destroy, and bombarded the white-robed youth.
Faced with this devastating thunderstorm, the young man in white finally raised his head slightly.
A hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, and the silver longsword in his hand finally drew a brilliant arc as it slashed upwards towards the sea of lightning!
"One sword...severing all laws."
A clear voice echoed in the deathly silent universe.
The sword was swung, but there was no earth-shattering explosion; only an absolute silence that chilled the heart.
The sky full of purple divine lightning, the thunderstorm powerful enough to turn a star field into dust, was directly erased by an incomprehensible force the moment the sword light flashed.
The Emperor stared blankly at all of this, his mind going blank for a moment.
He finally understood why Emperor Yan had that knowing, mocking smile when he watched him being beaten from afar.
The opponent's sword was no longer a simple attack based on laws, nor was it a profound application of laws.
That was a "conceptual" strike that defied all reason and common sense!
That really can sever everything!
Whether it's tangible space and lightning, or intangible cause and effect, flames, or even the chaotic laws he was so proud of, before that silver longsword, they all had only one fate: to be "cut off"!
Under such absolute suppression of the rules, the powerful long-range divine abilities he unleashed, and the great Dao spells that once made him invincible, could not be hindered in the slightest.
On the contrary, because he forcibly distracted himself to use these extremely energy-consuming supernatural powers during his escape, the operation of the laws within his body became slightly sluggish, and his escape speed inevitably decreased by a few points.
The moment his speed decreased, the white-clad youth would close the distance like a ghost, mercilessly adding several deep, bone-revealing sword wounds to his body, causing him unbearable pain.
"Trying to steal a chicken only resulted in losing the rice instead!"
The Emperor cursed himself inwardly for being foolish.
The harsh reality is that when faced with a monster whose stats and mechanics are completely overpowered and utterly illogical, any resistance, any probing, any fancy maneuvering is tantamount to playing with one's life.
His attempt to run away while simultaneously blocking the way was completely ineffective; in fact, the decrease in speed would cause him to suffer even more damage.
After countless attempts and countless beatings, this once arrogant emperor finally made the most humiliating, yet also the most sober, decision of his life.
Abandon all illusions, abandon all counterattacks, and concentrate all your strength on escaping!
