One sword cleaves the heavens! The gates of the divine kingdom appear!

Facing that terrifying black light blade capable of severing mountain ranges and annihilating fleets, Lin Yuan's face remained completely rippleless.

He didn't even lift an eyelid.

At the moment that deathly light blade was about to descend upon the Kunpeng, his right foot, which he had just stepped out with, slammed heavily onto the deck!

Boom!

A muffled thud!

The entire Kunpeng, this giant aerial ship forged from Longxia's peak technology, sank violently under the force of that single step!

Immediately following that!

Lin Yuan advanced instead of retreating!

Facing that world-destroying black light blade, he took another step forward!

Clang—!!!

A clear and stirring sword cry, like a dragon's roar echoing through the Nine Heavens, suddenly resounded throughout the world!

Countless strands of Sword Qi converged into one.

They transformed into an ancient longsword, its entire body azure, looking as if it were forged from ten-thousand-year profound ice and deep-sea stars!

It was one of the countless Heaven Rank peak-grade divine weapons rewarded by the System during his days of lying flat: Cangming!

Lin Yuan's five fingers slowly closed, gripping the hilt of the cangming sword.

The moment he gripped the hilt!

Boom—!!!

The vast, star-sea-like pale gold Protective Aura within his body, condensed by his Primordial Chaos Sacred Body, surged into the cangming sword's blade without reservation, like a volcano finding its vent!

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz—!!!

The blade of the cangming sword emitted an unprecedentedly violent hum!

Azure Sword Qi, brilliant to the extreme and deep as the Vast Ocean, erupted from the blade!

That Sword Qi was no longer just simple sharpness, no longer just simple energy!

Within it was contained a majestic Concept of 'the sea embracing all rivers, greatness through tolerance'!

It was as if this one sword strike contained the oceans of the entire world, carrying the endless power of billions of tons of seawater!

Cangming Sword Intent!

At this moment, under the terrified gaze of that Huagang Realm Priest...

And under the shocked, speechless gazes of tens of thousands of powerhouses across the globe...

Lin Yuan slowly raised the cangming sword in his hand.

His pitch-black eyes finally lifted, looking directly at that overbearing Priest for the first time.

Then, his thin lips parted slightly, uttering a single word.

A word that caused the world to change color.

“Slay!”

A light shout!

Lin Yuan swung his sword!

There were no redundant movements; it was the simplest, most direct downward strike!

The moment this sword strike was unleashed!

The brilliant blue Sword Qi in his hand expanded wildly with the wind!

One meter!

Ten meters!

A hundred meters!

A thousand meters!

Ten thousand meters!

In an instant, that blue Sword Qi transformed into a terrifying blue sword rainbow stretching for ten thousand miles, as if it were about to split the entire sky in two!

That sword rainbow was magnificent! Majestic! Domineering!

Everywhere it passed, the air was entirely pushed aside, forming an absolute vacuum zone!

The black light blade that the Huagang Realm Priest had struck out with all his might—enough to destroy a fleet—was like a laughable, fragile toy before this blue sword rainbow spanning heaven and earth!

Boom-crack—!!!

There was no suspense!

The moment the black light blade made contact with the blue sword rainbow, it shattered inch by inch like glass struck by a giant hammer! It exploded violently, turning into a sky full of black light specks!

Meanwhile, the light of the blue sword rainbow did not dim in the slightest, its residual power unabated!

With an even more frenzied and domineering posture, it followed through, cleaving toward the churning sea surface below!

The next second!

A scene that everyone would never forget for the rest of their lives, enough to overturn their worldviews, occurred!

Riiip—!!!!!

That Vast Ocean surface, which had been calm for billions of years, was actually forcibly cleaved open from the middle by this terrifying sword rainbow!

A bottomless abyss, over a hundred meters wide, appeared on the sea surface!

Billions of tons of seawater were forcibly pushed to both sides by an unmatched power, kicking up two terrifying giant waves a thousand meters high!

Beneath the azure seawater, that pitch-black, deep seabed that had never been touched by sunlight was exposed to everyone's eyes for the first time!

One sword, severing the sea!

However, it wasn't over yet!

The blue sword rainbow that had cleaved the ocean still did not dissipate after splitting the sea surface!

Carrying endless destructive power, it struck heavily toward the deepest part of that sea trench!

Striking toward the weakest node in space, which was hidden by a natural magnetic storm!

Rumble—!!!!!

A deafening, terrifying roar, sounding as if it came from the dawn of the world's birth, suddenly erupted from the depths of the seabed!

The entire Vast Ocean trembled violently at this moment!

The spatial rift hidden in the depths of the sea trench was crudely and arrogantly torn completely open by this sword strike!

Immediately following that!

A giant portal, ten thousand meters high and constructed from unknown divine metal and pure light, radiating an aura of endless divinity and majesty, suddenly manifested behind the torn space!

The gate of the divine kingdom!

It was found!

No!

It wasn't found!

It was forcibly cleaved out of sub-space by Lin Yuan with a single sword strike!

The blue sword rainbow finally slammed heavily into that giant gate of the divine kingdom!

Dong—!!!!!

A distant and heavy tolling of a bell resounded through the clouds!

The brilliantly glowing surface of the gate of the divine kingdom vibrated violently, like a lake surface into which a stone had been thrown, rippling out circle after circle of energy!

At the core of the impact, slight cracks even appeared!

The power of one sword was terrifying to such an extent!

And the aftershocks kicked up by the sword rainbow's descent were like a level-12 tsunami, crazily spreading in all directions!

Those Divine Court Bone Warships that were just flaunting their power were like small boats in a raging storm before this terrifying Sword Qi aftershock!

Over half of the Bone Warships didn't even have time to react before being instantly shredded into pieces by the Sword Qi aftershocks!

Hulls disintegrated, and those eerie Purple Crystals exploded one after another like fireworks!

And those Divine Court soldiers hidden in the depths of the sea trench...

Who had originally planned to launch a second wave of sneak attacks, didn't even manage to let out a scream before being directly ground into primitive particles by the omnipresent Sword Qi.

Souls annihilated, not a single survivor!

The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

Then, it was a complete boiling over, like a mountain collapsing or a tsunami!

Roar—!!

That distorted space also shattered as the gate of the divine kingdom was cleaved open.

As soon as Ivan, the giant man from North Bear Country, broke free from his constraints, he saw that ten-thousand-foot sword rainbow that had cleaved the sea and the heavenly gate. His wild face was instantly filled with fanatical worship!

He thrust the giant hammer in his hand high into the air and let out a beast-like roar with all his strength!

“Boss is fucking awesome—!!!”

“Hahahaha! This sword strike! It’s so damn satisfying!!”

On the deck of the Kunpeng, Yan Wu Xiaolie wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He looked at that figure holding the longsword, clothes fluttering, looking like a god.

The last trace of arrogance in his eyes completely vanished, replaced by endless awe originating from the depths of his Soul!

At this moment, he finally understood how vast the gap between him and this man truly was.

That wasn't the gap between a Mortal and a Genius.

That was the gap between a firefly and the bright moon!

Inside the Central Command Cabin, Su Li's pale, tense face finally relaxed completely.

A relieved, heartfelt smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth.

But she didn't lose herself in this shock; her professional quality as a deputy commander made her regain her calm and decisiveness in the next second!

“Attention everyone!”

Her cold and powerful voice spread throughout the entire United Fleet!

“Reform the formation! All main cannons, lock onto the gate of the divine kingdom!”

“Surround it! Surround the gate of the divine kingdom for me! Don't let even a single fly out!”
