133: What are the sages of the human race?

The battle between the two Great Emperors did not display any extraordinary Prodigy-like methods, nor did it showcase the Law power that could annihilate everything with a wave of a hand.

In fact,

the battle ended as soon as it began.

Everyone only saw a Divine Sword descend with an unstoppable, crushing force.

A Fire Hammer, sparkling with tiny specks of starlight, met it. Then… the sparks transformed into meteorites, falling in unison, igniting the giant forest, annihilating mountains, and filling the sea.

That vibrant Fire Hammer blocked the first sword, but it failed to block the second.

In front of the massive Divine Sword, the small figure appeared insignificant, even less than an ant.

Everyone watched as the Divine Sword, carrying purple lightning, plunged straight down, engulfing the starlight, dispelling the dark clouds, and slamming the figure from the clouds down, pinning him firmly to the ground.

After that… there was no more movement.

The Divine Sword, with its destructive power, even directly obliterated one-third of the Secret Realm! Turning mountains and rivers into giant pits.

“Hahaha! Heaven Sword! No, Divine Sword! This is Jun Lingxiao! This is the Divine Sword!”

Ling Tian knelt on the ground, somewhat fanatically gazing at the giant sword gradually shattering in the sky. His eyes held nothing but fervor.

In thousands of Reincarnations, the only thing etched deeply in his memory was the bright gleam of the Heaven Sword.

It was both the light of destruction and the light of salvation, bringing new life while destroying.

It must be said, Ling Tian’s mind had suffered significant problems.

But what did that matter?

“This is the power to change the world…”

“This is the Heaven Sword…”

Ling Tian prostrated himself, his head pressed to the ground. Only now did he feel truly alive.

However… after kowtowing, Ling Tian turned his head, his expression odd, to look at a woman beside him. She was also kneeling on the ground, just like him, devoutly kowtowing in Jun Lingxiao’s direction.

“Who the hell are you?”

Hearing Ling Tian’s words, the woman looked up in surprise, her eyes full of astonishment: “Ah? How can an NPC in this game swear?”

“Ah??? Say that again, N-what C?”

Ling Tian, the man and woman, looked at each other, both a little confused.

On the other side, Jun Hongxuan, Chu Gaodan, and even the other Dao inheritors of the Ten Chiefs Family had not yet recovered from the shocking scene they had just witnessed.

“The Great Emperor… lost?”

Someone came to their senses, looked at Jun Lingxiao standing in the sky, then looked at the distant place that had become a giant pit, and spoke with disbelief.

“The Great Emperor… was that the Great Emperor?”

“No, the aura of the other party is different from those Great Emperor Seniors in the Family. But Jun Lingxiao… he truly has the bearing of a Great Emperor.”

“He became an Emperor?”

“Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!”

“Is it a secret technique?”

“What kind of secret technique can grant someone Great Emperor cultivation, even for an instant?”

“Is it an Opportunity?”

“Stop fooling yourselves, it’s simply impossible!”

“Then how do you explain what just happened?”

How to explain? You’re asking me, who should I ask?

Everyone discussed animatedly, but undoubtedly, after today, Jun Lingxiao’s name would resound throughout the world.

“Look… this is your brother, Jun Lingxiao… He always acts so unexpectedly. He is everyone’s pride, my pride.”

“Don’t make that face, I don’t like it.”

Qiu Jinyao held Jun Siyu’s hand and pinched her mouth.

No matter what outsiders thought, in Jun Siyu’s eyes, Qiu Jinyao… was not gentle. “So what? It has nothing to do with me…” Jun Siyu pouted. She didn’t like this strict brother; she only wanted to find her grandfather.

“No, it concerns you.”

“After today, the Jun Family will become the head of the Three Heavens. As long as Jun Lingxiao is still here, no one can shake its position.”

“In other words, everything he did today was for the Jun Family.”

The Three Heavens of the Ten Directions Immortal Court actually didn’t have too obvious differences in strength, but due to ancient lingering issues, everyone unanimously believed that the Ye Family was the strongest and most powerful existence among the Three Heavens. But after today, things would be different.

Can one person truly possess such great ability?

If it were just an ordinary person with some talent, then it would be absolutely impossible to have such power.

But if it were someone who could awe the other Families, inspire his Disciples, and even unite the entire Family, then it would not be surprising.

Such a person possesses infinite power.

But… “I’m not a Jun Family member…” Jun Siyu felt a little wronged. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to understand Jun Lingxiao, nor was she being unreasonable, but the truth was, she truly wasn’t a Jun Family member.

Abandoned by her parents, then adopted by a group of Seniors, and finally ending up with a very strict brother, she was now filled with unease. She only wanted to quickly find the kind grandfather her father spoke of, and then pour out all her grievances.

Seeing such a scene, the Great Emperor Dharma Bodies outside also came in one after another to find their Disciples and inquire about what had happened. Even Jun Wenhao was no exception.

However, Jun Lingxiao merely glanced at his grandfather from afar, then walked straight into the pit.

A minute had passed. The golden light in his eyes had faded, but a divine aura still permeated him.

He arrived at the center of the great pit, looked at the old man lying at the tip of the giant sword, gradually dissipating, and slowly sat down to face him.

The giant sword was a construct of “what is said is done,” gradually dissipating, and the old man was also a remnant soul; he wouldn’t bleed, but he had already been cut in half and was slowly fading, presumably to disappear soon.

“Senior, you failed to block the second sword.”

He said.

These words sounded somewhat sarcastic in Fire Hammer Great Emperor’s ears, so he snorted lightly and did not speak.

However, Jun Lingxiao continued, his gaze piercing through everything: “Senior, as a powerful expert who fell on the first line of defense against foreign races in ancient times, I revere you. But… why didn’t Senior use his full power?”

Although he was a remnant soul, he was still a Great Emperor, and one of the first to become a Great Emperor. Yet such a person was no match for him, a newly ascended Great Emperor. Even the Divine Sword was learned and applied on the spot. Even so, to be defeated in one move was truly thought-provoking.

“Full power?”

Fire Hammer Great Emperor sneered, his eyes filled with self-mockery.

“Didn’t you also not use your full power? Also, if I had to use my full power against a junior, wouldn’t I have lived in vain as a Great Emperor? Even after death, I would carry the stigma of being disrespectful to the elderly for a lifetime.”

“Young man, you are very strong. As you wished, you will step on me and spread your name throughout the entire Ten Directions Immortal Court. This is all I can do for you juniors.”

He said softly, discarding Family notions. At this moment, he truly admired Jun Lingxiao.

He had held back to the extreme, even… not using a Great Emperor’s Law, Domain, or any decent methods.

In fact, from the moment Jun Lingxiao dared to confront him, he already had the answer.

“That power does not belong to me.” Jun Lingxiao lowered his gaze.

He had cheated.

However, it wasn’t without gain. The moment he became a Great Emperor, countless insights that only Great Emperors could perceive were bestowed upon him. These were all very useful.

He was not yet a Great Emperor, but… this was only temporary.

“Power inherently belongs to you; it just depends on how you use it. To become famous throughout the world… indeed fits a youthful demeanor, excellent!”

“It’s worth it for this old man to be able to help you juniors one last time. Wasn’t this what we fought for so desperately back then? To be able to see a young man like you in the end is a great gain. I am very gratified.”

“Young man, don’t take Family notions so seriously. ‘If others offend me, I will offend them’ is correct, but fundamentally, the Human Race are all one Family. In ancient times, when foreign races attacked, not a single Family retreated, which is why we have today.”

“The Dao you walk is excellent, embracing all rivers, truly excellent. However, you can broaden your horizons. It’s better to have more friends than enemies. In the future, things will be much easier…”

As Fire Hammer Great Emperor spoke, his form dissipated further, gradually leaving only a head, and finally transforming directly into specks of starlight.

He had no grand declarations. Until his last moment, he was still instructing Jun Lingxiao, until… his voice faded into the air.

Jun Lingxiao sat for a while, then stood up and nodded.

“Yes, Senior, I understand.”

“As expected of you.”
