Chapter 897, The Might of the Sacred Sword

Translator: Silavin

 

Sacred light condensed, and a magnificent sacred light longsword appeared in Ling Tuyai’s hand. This sword had a rather peculiar design, whereby upon its blade, there was a kind of azure blue ripple flowing.

 

Majestic and brilliant sacred light spread out from the sword, and that fluctuation was extraordinarily powerful!

 

“The Azure Wave Sacred Sword!? The inheritance he obtained is actually that of the Azure Wave Saint!”

 

Upon seeing this sacred sword, countless cries of astonishment immediately rang out.

 

For a time, the entire world was in a state of boiling excitement.

 

Generally speaking, Saints all had their own Sects. It was extremely difficult to encounter a Saint’s inheritance, whereby the Saint did not hail from such a Sect.

 

However, in this world, there were occasionally some aloof Saints who disliked the concept of a Sect. When their age limit was approaching, they would leave behind an inheritance, waiting for someone fated to receive it.

 

And a Saint’s inheritances also had different Grades!

 

After stepping into the Saint Realm, wanting to advance further could be described as harder than ascending to Heaven. However, if one could advance further, that strength would increase exponentially!

 

Experts at the level of Sky Cliff Pavilion’s Ling Fei belonged to the lowest tier among Saints, barely able to grasp the Power of Principles.

 

Only someone like the Brilliant Sky Sacred Master, Yu Qianqiu, could be called a true Saint.

 

And the inheritance that Ling Tuyai had obtained belonged to an existence at the Peak Stage Saint Realm, the Azure Wave Saint!

 

Several thousand years ago, the Azure Wave Saint Sage could be described as known to all, familiar to everyone. In terms of reputation, he was comparable to the Sacred Masters of the Twelve Sacred Lands!

 

Obtaining the inheritance of a Saint qualified one to control a Sacred Land. Even in this territory, such an event occurred only once in several thousand years!

 

The Azure Wave Sacred Sword, with overwhelming Saint Prestige within it, was clearly the weapon the Azure Wave Saint had used while still alive. How could the weapon once used by a Peak Stage Saint with such renown be anything ordinary!?

 

Ordinary Artifacts, if left for several decades, would become a pile of scrap iron. Even some elite Artifacts, after a hundred years, would have their sharpness greatly reduced.

 

Yet the Sacred Sword in Ling Tuyai’s hand, amidst its brilliant radiance, emanated an incomparable sharp aura that shot straight into Heaven.

 

Throughout over a thousand years, this Sacred Sword had been preserved intact without damage. Its quality could be glimpsed from this alone!

 

In this world, countless people gazed with burning eyes at that Azure Wave Sacred Sword. One face after another showed expressions somewhat stunned with shock. The oppressive feeling transmitted from this Sacred Sword had already exceeded the limits of countless people.

 

Even Martial Ancestors, separated by the barrier and even a considerable distance, felt it somewhat difficult to breathe.

 

The Disciples of Brilliant Sky Sacred Land at this moment had similarly fallen into silence. Countless Disciples had pale faces, their previous joy had completely vanished in this instant!

 

“Envoy, taking out a Sacred Sword in a battle between Martial Emperors seems somewhat against the rules, doesn’t it?” Yu Qianqiu’s complexion was also somewhat unsightly, his voice slightly low as he spoke.

 

“*Hmph!* This was obtained by Tuyai himself! This also counts as his trump card. If you’re capable, have that boy go seek an inherited Saint Grade weapon by himself!” Hearing these words, Ling Fei’s brows raised as he hastily spoke.

 

In the previous battle, Ling Tuyai had suffered setbacks consecutively and was already faintly showing signs of defeat. If the Envoy from Sacred Martial City judged that he could not use the Azure Wave Sacred Sword, this battle would probably be hard to win!

 

Although he knew his argument was somewhat far-fetched, in order to win this extremely important battle, he still brazenly argued his case.

 

“*Hmph!* What sophistry. Then, if I let Qin Yichen take with him Artifacts from our Sacred Land Ancestors, would that also be acceptable?” The Brilliant Sky Sacred Master snorted coldly and spoke.

 

Hearing this, Ling Fei’s complexion darkened. Although Brilliant Sky Sacred Land had long occupied the bottom position among the Twelve Sacred Lands, its foundation was still absolutely beyond question. Some Artifacts it had were comparable to the Azure Wave Sacred Sword, and could truly be taken out.

 

If Yu Qianqiu truly took out such an Artifact, then Ling Tuyai’s subsequent battle would likely be the same as before, suffering setback after setback, finally falling into complete defeat!

 

And if this final card failed, even Radiance Sacred Land probably wouldn’t care whether they lived or died!

 

Once they were ultimately defeated, their Sky Cliff Pavilion would have to bear Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s fury alone!

 

“Since he obtained it himself, that doesn’t count as violating the rules. Continue!” Just as the two were arguing, the Envoy from Sacred Martial City suddenly spoke.

 

“This…” Hearing this, Brilliant Sky Sacred Master’s brows furrowed deeply.

 

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, even as a Sacred Master, he couldn’t go against the Envoy representing Sacred Martial City.

 

“The Envoy is brilliant, truly impartial and just!” But Ling Fei’s heart surged with wild joy. He almost could not help laughing aloud and immediately offered flattery.

 

However, the Envoy from Sacred Martial City paid no attention to his flattery. His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked into the barrier at that youth standing opposite like a deity.

 

[Let me see if you still have any shocking trump cards.] The Sacred Martial City Envoy thought to himself. He had a faint feeling that this boy still had something hidden.

 

Under countless gazes, Ling Tuyai slowly raised his arm. The Azure Wave Sacred Sword pointed directly at Qin Yichen. Instantly, in the space surrounding him, it seemed as though an obscure power had locked onto Qin Yichen.

 

Under this lock, Qin Yichen felt immense pressure. This was not merely Saint Prestige, but as though the world itself was rejecting him!

 

Ling Tuyai’s cold eyes stared at Qin Yichen as he smiled. “Are you feeling despair?”

 

Qin Yichen did not speak, but his expression became exceptionally grave.

 

He knew that the Sacred Sword in Ling Tuyai’s hand was definitely extraordinary. Otherwise, it would not carry a trace of the Power of Principles!

 

The Power of Principles was completely different from Saint Prestige. Although it was merely an imperceptible trace, it still made Qin Yichen feel as though he was shouldering a mountain, making every step difficult!

 

Suddenly, on the Azure Wave Sacred Sword, sharp colours flashed. An incomparably fierce sword light abruptly tore forth. Sacred light surged, filled with domineering sharpness, causing even space to distort somewhat.

 

*Whoosh!* That sword light struck where Qin Yichen was located almost in the blink of an eye.

 

*Boom!*

 

In an instant, countless people felt the ground beneath their feet tremble violently. Within the massive barrier, sacred light ran rampant, dust billowing!

 

This lightning-fast attack with the momentum of rushing thunder caused countless people’s expressions to change. Was this the terrifying aspect of the Azure Wave Sacred Sword ?

 

That casual attack, setting aside the terrifying Saint Prestige, in terms of destructive power alone, was already sufficient to match a Martial Ancestor’s full-strength strike!

 

Countless gazes stared tightly at the sacred light storm raging within. Being hit by such a terrifying offensive, even if Qin Yichen’s physical body was formidable, how could he possibly resist?
