Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 493: The Final Blow

Xu Yi’s blade carried with it terrifying clouds of fire, as if setting the entire world ablaze.

In that moment, it could even be said that the entire world transformed into the realm of the Red Flame.

Even the onlookers in the distance could feel the searing heat.

In contrast, Wang Ruoxie’s sword strike held only a glimmer of sword light, appearing and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

There was not a trace of dazzling Sword Qi, nor any imposing force, as if he only performed a simple action of drawing and sheathing his sword.

However, in the next moment, a terrifying aura rapidly spread through the space.

"This is..."

At this moment, nearly everyone looked shocked, clearly sensing the extraordinary nature of Wang Ruoxie’s sword.

Xu Yi’s face was even more full of astonishment, for he felt as if the opponent’s sword had cleaved through the entire world.

Soon after, he realized that his fiery clouds were split in half almost instantly, eventually dissipating entirely.

"How is this possible?"

Xu Yi’s heart trembled violently, as the God-Burning Blade Technique he cultivated was a top-tier Fourth Grade divine technique, yet it couldn’t withstand a single sword from the opponent.

Could it be that this fellow cultivated a Fifth Grade or even higher divine technique?

However, he quickly denied this hypothesis because, to his knowledge, only those in the True God Realm within the Profound Lady Sect qualified to cultivate Fifth Grade divine techniques.

What Xu Yi didn’t know was that Wang Ruoxie had never obtained any divine techniques from the Inheritance Hall of the Profound Lady Sect, and his Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Art was a Seventh Grade divine technique inherited from Celestial God Bo Yan, making its power incomparable to Xu Yi’s Fourth Grade divine technique.

Even though Wang Ruoxie couldn’t yet unleash the true formidable power of the Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Art, the might of this sword was not at all inferior to a true Fifth Grade divine technique.

"Slash!"

Xu Yi shouted angrily, his red blade cutting forth again, as countless red flames swept out, eventually converging into a massive red blade shadow, slashing toward Wang Ruoxie.

Wang Ruoxie did not hesitate, also unleashing a sword strike, instantly forming a purple sword shadow.

"Boom, rumble..." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Amidst thunderous explosions, the massive sword shadow and blade shadow clashed in an instant.

Immediately, the fearsome Sword Qi and blade Qi obliterated everything in the surroundings into dust, even causing the space to disintegrate bit by bit.

Subsequently, the crowd saw two figures simultaneously being knocked back.

Moreover, they saw that Xu Yi’s body was cut with many gashes, from which threads of blood oozed, while Wang Ruoxie was completely unharmed, his clothes unscathed.

This indicated that in this collision, Wang Ruoxie once again gained the upper hand.

This scene left everyone, including the Saints and Saintesses, utterly stunned.

It could be said that the strength Wang Ruoxie displayed far exceeded their expectations, explaining why he dared to engage Xu Yi in a life-or-death duel—his power had reached such a formidable level.

The golden-robed young man, long-robed young man, black-robed young man, and other Saints and Saintesses looked shocked—they knew that if their cultivation were comparable to Xu Yi’s, they might not be able to contend with Wang Ruoxie.

It was conceivable that once Wang Ruoxie reached the Celestial Venerable Realm, his strength would be truly terrifying.

"Brother Wang, you did not disappoint me,"

Ying Hongyu murmured with a face full of smiles.

"This guy, he turned out to be so strong already,"

Xueyao let out a heavy sigh of relief, now fully convinced that Wang Ruoxie would not lose this battle.

In fact, besides those present watching the battle, many intermediate and even senior members of the Profound Lady Sect were secretly observing as well.

"Now it seems I did indeed underestimate him,"

Kong Yuanxiu muttered with eyes revealing a strange light.

"Regardless of this disciple’s aptitude, his Swordsmanship Cultivation alone rivals those Saints and Saintesses."

On a certain mountaintop, an Elder with white hair and beard spoke.

"If he wins this battle, I might take him as a direct disciple,"

remarked another middle-aged Elder with a slight nod.

"He truly is an anomaly, achieving such immense progress in just over a month,"

Ancestor Xuan Zhen, sitting cross-legged at the entryway of Fallen God Peak, suddenly opened his eyes, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Wang Ruoxie, I must admit, your strength exceeds my imagination,"

Xu Yi stared intently at Wang Ruoxie, speaking in a deep voice, "However, I will not lose this battle."

As his words fell, an extremely violent blade intent erupted from his body once more.

Soon, a massive red blade shadow formed instantly, and under the crowd’s astonished gaze, Xu Yi’s body suddenly trembled as he merged into the red blade shadow.

Instantly, an even more violent and domineering force of blade Qi surged forth, with the entire world filled with the blade Qi transformed from Red Flames.

"He has become one with the blade, a man-blade unity."

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"Since you’ve become one with your blade, let us settle this with a single strike, deciding our fates,"

a gleam of sword brilliance flashed in Wang Ruoxie’s eyes, whereupon a massive purple sword shadow also instantly formed behind him.

Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly merged his body into the purple sword shadow.

In that moment, thunder rumbled through the heavens, Sword Qi whistled.

"It seems both are preparing for their final strike,"

"This is their strongest strike, determining victory and life or death."

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the two, revealing tension in their gazes.

"Junior Brother Ruoxie, you must win,"

Xueyao whispered, her fists clenched tightly with a face full of tension.

"Boom!"

With an earth-shattering roar, the red blade shadow and purple sword shadow fiercely collided.

In an instant, a terrifyingly immense Sword Qi and blade Qi erupted, immediately engulfing the bodies of both, turning all surrounding structures into dust.

The void shattered, the earth broke; the might unleashed in this collision vastly surpassed anything prior.

"Such terrifying power—even those in the Middle Stage or Late Stage of the Celestial Venerable Realm may not survive unscathed,"

everyone’s hearts trembled violently as each gaze fixated firmly on the scene, yet they could not discern the condition of the two nor the outcome of the collision.

"Could the two of them have perished together?"

someone suddenly said, causing everyone to freeze for a moment, then nod silently—it was indeed possible.

After all, such terrifying power could likely have obliterated both bodies into nothingness.

After a long while, the space gradually returned to normalcy.

The crowd hurriedly focused their sight, seeing only one person remaining standing.

"He won."

Upon seeing the person’s face clearly, many displayed expressions of shock.

Yet some nodded slightly, as if they had anticipated this result all along.
