Chapter 730 The Sword of Rebirth
silence.
A deathly silence once again enveloped this shattered star field.
Only the still slowly rotating black hole in the void, and the golden dust that has not yet completely dissipated, silently recount the earth-shattering, decisive battle that just took place.
Meanwhile, in the void tens of thousands of miles away from where the Emperor died.
The white-clad youth who had unleashed that incomprehensible sword strike was now quietly sheathing his sword.
He showed no joy or arrogance at having slain such a formidable enemy; on the contrary, his eyes revealed a deep weariness and a hint of imperceptible desolation.
With the death of the Emperor, the white-robed youth's body, which had been as solid as a real person, began to fluctuate violently.
A faint halo began to emanate from the edges of his body, like a reflection in water being blown by a gentle breeze, becoming more and more ethereal and transparent.
The power of the future is being frantically rejected and eroded by the rules of the present time and space.
This phantom, forcibly summoned by Lin Hanzhou by overdrawing 40,000 years of his lifespan, finally exhausted its last bit of energy after unleashing that forbidden sword strike, and thus came to an end.
The young man in white paid no attention to his collapsing body.
His deep eyes, which seemed to see through the past, present, and future, gazed silently at the void where the Emperor had been completely annihilated.
He stood there for a long time, then let out a long sigh.
"It seems... the trajectory of fate is not so easily altered. In this timeline, you are destined to be immortal."
The young man in white had a voice that conveyed a profound understanding of the world, as if he were talking to himself in the vast emptiness, or perhaps to someone far away.
"I can only use this sword once."
He slowly raised his hand, looking at his palm which had become translucent, a complex light flashing in his eyes.
That sword strike just now was not simply a display of power, nor was it a manifestation of extreme speed.
That was a supreme sword technique that had touched the origin of the universe and transcended all the myriad paths of the heavens!
This is the ultimate killing move that he finally created after countless epiphanies and countless efforts over the long years to come, combining his heaven-defying talent of "ignoring all defenses".
He named this supernatural power the Sword of Rebirth.
This sword, when drawn, not only severs the "past" but also severs the "life".
Once severed, life was cut off.
Simply put, his sword strike was aimed at the past emperor, thus damaging the present emperor.
He didn't swing his sword randomly just now; he swung it precisely at the spot where the Emperor had stood.
That is why the Emperor who was harmed there in the past is now being harmed as well.
This is the truth behind why the Emperor could never understand the reason.
It wasn't that he didn't realize it; it was that he simply couldn't realize it.
Because on a causal level, when he realizes the danger, he has actually already been hit.
This supernatural power is so powerful that it is impossible to defend against or avoid.
This is the true meaning of ignoring all defenses, a true concept-level ultimate move!
"If I were here in person, I could continue using this move until the Emperor is completely killed..."
The young man in white looked at his increasingly transparent hands and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.
"But unfortunately..."
He shook his head, a hint of regret in his voice.
"In the end, I am just a phantom that has traversed the river of time and space, without a true vessel of the Great Dao, without an inexhaustible source to support me. A single sword strike has already drained all my power."
The young man in white turned his gaze once again to the place where the Emperor had vanished.
He knew very well that, although the Emperor's body and soul had been completely annihilated by the sword intent in that attack, leaving not even a trace behind.
However, the Emperor is definitely not dead yet!
As a mastermind who has lived for millions of years and taken the art of cunning and scheming to its extreme, the number of trump cards that the Emperor holds is absolutely beyond anyone's imagination.
The young man in white knew that the Emperor must have secretly cultivated some kind of extremely powerful substitution technique, or left behind an unparalleled backup plan in some hidden corner of the universe that could allow him to be reborn from a drop of blood.
The one he just killed was undoubtedly the Emperor himself, but for an old monster of the Emperor's level, death is sometimes not the true end.
However, although he was unable to completely eliminate the Emperor here, the white-robed youth did not show much discouragement on his face.
All of this was actually within his expectations.
Or rather, he was just trying his luck, to see if he could kill the Emperor at this point in time.
Because he is a phantom that has traveled across time from the future.
In his memory, on the actual timeline he experienced, the Emperor did not die at this point in time!
In the future, it was his true self, invincible in the world, who personally shattered all of the Emperor's trump cards, completely erasing him from the heavens and the earth.
This is an irreversible time loop and a historical corrective force.
Since he will be the one to kill the Emperor in the future, then at this point in time, the Emperor could not possibly be dead.
Even if he used the "Sword of Rebirth," an unreasonable and forbidden killing move, the rules of the universe or the unfathomable fortune of the Emperor would surely allow him to survive in some reasonable way.
The young man in white let out a long breath. His once solid body had become like a flickering candle in the wind, leaving only a faint outline.
"Although we failed to completely kill the Emperor, it's not a big problem."
A proud smile reappeared on the young man's lips.
He slightly raised his head, as if seeing through the endless void and seeing another wisp of the Emperor's origin hidden in the deepest part of the universe, wailing in pain because of the fall of the original body.
