Chapter 524: Chapter 524: One Sword Breaks Myriad Laws

The Great Sun Sword Body was ranked ninety-eighth on the List of Special Physiques, placing it among the powerful physiques in the top one hundred.

A Swordsaint is already incredibly powerful, so how terrifying must the Sword God in white robes with a black sword be?

Su Han did not hesitate. His consciousness entered the Prison Divine Palace once again.

The moment he entered, he felt a Heaven-Cleaving, Earth-Sundering Sword Intent. This Sword Intent was incomparably sharp, piercing, and terrifying, as if thousands of blades had enveloped him, ready to subject him to death by a thousand cuts.

From this Sword Intent alone, Su Han knew how difficult this battle would be. Yet, he had to face it, for this was his opportunity and his great fortune. If he could slay the Sword God, he would receive his memory inheritance, which was a priceless treasure for him.

A pale, clean-shaven face, white robes, and a black sword—this was the divine demon corresponding to the Great Sun Sword Body.

At this moment, the Sword God had fully awakened. Although he was also a mere consciousness, he was like a sharpened sword with its edge fully revealed. His Sword Intent soared to the heavens, so powerful that Su Han could not look directly at him.

"Junior, what is your name?"

Unlike the other divine demons, this Sword God did not attack immediately, nor was he overbearing. Instead, he chose to speak first. His eyes, however, were as sharp as a sword, seeming to pierce one’s Sea of Consciousness and see directly into their heart.

"This junior’s surname is Su, and my given name is Han," Su Han replied. He mentally prepared to fight but maintained his decorum. Each divine demon had a different temperament, and he could not treat them all the same.

"The Cruel Demon Emperor actually chose a member of the Human Race as his successor. How ironic," the Sword God scoffed, clearly disdainful of the emperor. While his strength was indeed inferior to the Cruel Demon Emperor’s, it was impossible to make him bow—not even to the emperor himself.

He was also aware of his own state. He had died long ago, and what remained was merely a wisp of his divine consciousness. He had no intention of escaping this place, as he knew the Cruel Demon Emperor would show no mercy. What seemed like a sliver of hope was likely just another path to death.

"If you wish to obtain my memory inheritance, you must first get past my sword. If you are too weak, I will show no mercy!"

The Sword God raised his right hand, formed a sword with his fingers, and slashed directly at Su Han.

Although they both possessed the power of the First Layer of the Supreme Realm, the Sword God’s combat power was vastly greater. A piercing stream of Sword Qi erupted from his fingertips. Though only a meter long, it seemed capable of sundering the cosmos.

Su Han’s pupils contracted, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He sensed an unprecedented crisis, as if he were about to be slain by that single strike.

"Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!"

Su Han dared not be careless. He used his consciousness to manifest the Black Blade and immediately executed the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes, unleashing a kilometer-long Saber Aura blazing with thunder and fire.

"Flashy but insubstantial!"

The Sword God watched Su Han’s saber technique and offered a four-word critique. The next moment, the Sword Qi collided with the thunder-and-fire Saber Aura. The meter-long Sword Qi sliced through the Saber Aura as easily as a knife through tofu, shattering it completely.

Both the saber and the sword were weapons born for slaughter, but the gap in their respective masters’ understanding was too vast. This was not a difference in cultivation realm, but in their comprehension of the blade.

Although Su Han wielded the Black Blade, he had not spent much time on his saber techniques. His skill was still at the Entry Level, not even reaching an intermediate stage.

The Sword God, however, not only possessed superior innate conditions but had also been immersed in the Way of the Sword for countless years. His comprehension of the sword had reached a terrifying level. Even a casually unleashed stream of Sword Qi was far more powerful than Su Han’s thunder-and-fire Saber Aura.

"The Seventh Form: Thunder Dragon Apocalypse!"

Su Han’s expression was grave. He knew the Sword God would be tough to deal with, but he had not expected him to be this formidable. Unleashing the most powerful move of the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Sashes, Yin Yang Thunder instantly coalesced, forming a Thunder Dragon Saber Aura that slashed toward the Sword God.

"Large and bloated!"

The Sword God delivered another critique, likewise unimpressed by Su Han’s saber technique. He simply formed a sword with his fingers again and sent out a second stream of Sword Qi. This one was also only a meter long, but it was even more condensed, appearing as if it were forged from true metal rather than transformed from energy.

PFFT! Though the Thunder Dragon Saber Aura was powerful, it was like a balloon before this Sword Qi. It popped with a single poke, completely unable to harm the Sword God.

Su Han had to admit that the Sword God before him was extremely powerful, with an incredibly profound mastery of the Way of the Sword.

Without hesitation, Su Han donned the Ghostly Face Mask and activated Physique Fusion. He then unleashed the Devouring Demonic Domain and, as a final measure, used the Divine Skill, Blossoming with One Thought. He was now going all out.

"If not for the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, you would not even be able to take a single one of my strikes!"

The Sword God still had not drawn his sword, continuing to deal with Su Han using only Sword Qi. Streams of it crisscrossed through the air, deflecting all of Su Han’s attacks. At the same time, his own Sword Qi inflicted indelible and terrifying wounds upon Su Han.

"Origin Technique: Primordial Qi!"

Su Han knew that ordinary methods would not work against the Sword God. He abandoned all other techniques, merging all his energy into a single strand of Primordial Qi.

Soon, the Primordial Qi transformed into the Heaven-Opening God Ax. Wielding world-creating might, it slashed toward the Sword God.

"Now this is somewhat interesting!" Only upon seeing the Primordial Qi Heaven-Opening Axe did the Sword God’s expression grow slightly serious.

"Ordinarily, you would not be worthy of me drawing my sword. However, I will make an exception for you.

"Su Han, watch closely!"

The Sword God’s gaze sharpened. He reached out, grasped the hilt, and drew his sword.

WHOOSH!

A resplendent Sword Radiance soared into the sky, like a bolt of lightning in the dark of night that threatened to cleave the very world in two. An overwhelming wave of fierce Sword Qi washed over Su Han, making his entire body turn cold, as if the Grim Reaper’s hand was wrapped around his throat.

"One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!"

The Sword God unleashed a single strike, shattering the Primordial Qi Heaven-Opening Axe. The sword strike, its power undiminished, then appeared before Su Han. No matter what he tried, he could not defend against it. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

In that moment, Su Han felt death approaching. Ultimately, however, he survived. The Sword God had not intended to kill him; the dazzling Sword Radiance hovered before Su Han’s brow, unmoving.

WHOOSH! The Sword God sheathed his Divine Sword. In his white robes and black sword, it was as if everything that had just happened had been an illusion.

"My name is Tai Cang, and I am from the Myriad Swords Sect of Zhongzhou. I hope you will look after the Myriad Swords Sect."

The Sword God spoke, revealing his origin and stating his condition. He was once the Sect Leader of the Myriad Swords Sect, but he later ascended to godhood and left the Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm entirely. Now, upon meeting Su Han, he wished for someone to look after his former sect.

"This junior will do his best."

Su Han understood the Sword God Tai Cang’s wishes and nodded in agreement.

"Good!"

Tai Cang, the Sword God, nodded. He said no more and, to Su Han’s surprise, voluntarily dissolved into countless points of light that flowed into his body, bequeathing his memory inheritance to him.
