Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 1592 - 1593: Blade Saint of Battle

The Five Elements Blade Saint noticed Chu Fengmian’s trail and immediately pursued him, launching another attack to kill Chu Fengmian, aiming to put him to death.

The blade light of the Five Elements Divine Saber swiftly approached Chu Fengmian in an instant.

Feeling the approaching tunneling light from behind, Chu Fengmian’s expression changed. Knowing he could not evade it, he simply chose not to dodge but instead gathered all his strength.

"Divine Tree’s Blessing!"

With a shout, the shadow of the Divine Tree manifested behind Chu Fengmian, and the spiritual power within him continuously surged. The 129,600 blood crystal defenses within his body simultaneously condensed, forming an indestructible defense.

In the cave of the Lion Overlord Martial Ancestor, Chu Fengmian obtained a branch of the Building Mu Tree, which was now entirely devoured by the Divine Tree.

Now, the power of the Divine Tree is at least thirty percent stronger than before it absorbed the Building Mu Tree branch. As the shadow of the Divine Tree appeared, it covered the sky, resembling the real Building Mu Tree.

The shadow of the Divine Tree enveloped Chu Fengmian’s body, merging with his flesh.

This Divine Tree was one of Chu Fengmian’s greatest trump cards, a card he dared not reveal until crucial moments. After all, subduing a Divine Tree is a heaven-shocking encounter.

Once exposed, it could bring endless trouble to Chu Fengmian.

But now, faced with the assassination of a powerful half-step Heavenly Human Realm opponent, he knew it was no longer the time to hold back his trump card.

Facing the Five Elements Blade Saint, retaining anything meant courting death for himself.

The shadow of the Divine Tree enveloped Chu Fengmian as the blade edge of the Five Elements Divine Saber also descended, crashing towards Chu Fengmian, first striking the shadow of the Divine Tree.

Boom!

The power contained in this slash was overwhelmingly strong, incomparable to what the Five Elements Blade Ancestor could wield with the Five Elements Divine Saber. Its power was dozens of times stronger.

With one slash, Chu Fengmian felt his body about to be split open. Even the shadow of the Divine Tree was trembling incessantly.

This shadow of the Divine Tree was a part split off from the Divine Tree within Chu Fengmian’s body. This slash striking the shadow was almost equivalent to slashing the Divine Tree within Chu Fengmian’s body.

"Crack!"

Under the force of the Five Elements Divine Saber, the shadow of the Divine Tree began to show some cracks, and numerous cracks sprawled across it, threatening to split open the entire Divine Tree.

The power of this slash was something the Divine Tree within Chu Fengmian’s body could not withstand.

"Divine Tree? Is this the Divine Tree transformed from the ancient Building Mu Tree?"

The Five Elements Blade Saint observed the shadow of the Divine Tree emerging behind Chu Fengmian, which suddenly withstood the edge of the Five Elements Divine Saber, and instantly recognized it.

This Divine Tree, with such vast life force, could only have one origin, the Building Mu Tree.

"Subduing the Divine Tree! This is something countless powerful geniuses throughout history couldn’t achieve, and this brat has done it. No wonder his strength is so defiant of the heavens!"

The Five Elements Blade Saint stared at Chu Fengmian, sensing that Chu Fengmian was even harder to kill than any Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor he had slain before.

The shadow of the Divine Tree materialized, instantly withstanding the power of the Five Elements Divine Saber, preventing it from slashing onto Chu Fengmian’s body.

Only by breaking the shadow of the Divine Tree could Chu Fengmian be dealt with, making it a perfect defense.

"But your strength is too weak. Even with many opportunities, at the realm of the Eight Tribulation Ancient Emperor, today you have no path but death!"

"Sword Breaks Heaven and Earth!"

The Five Elements Blade Saint roared, and a surge of spiritual power was injected into the Five Elements Divine Saber, immediately enhancing its power by several levels, slashing onto the shadow of the Divine Tree.

The branches of the shadow of the Divine Tree shattered into pieces under this slash, covered with countless dense cracks.

This caused Chu Fengmian’s expression to change greatly.

This Divine Tree is the root of his powerful body. Once the shadow of the Divine Tree shatters, it would have an unimaginably massive impact on the main body of the Divine Tree within Chu Fengmian’s body.

Even if the Divine Tree doesn’t die, it would sustain severe injuries, making recovery nearly impossible.

"Recede!"

As the cracks on the shadow of the Divine Tree approached their limit, unable to hold on any longer, Chu Fengmian’s mind moved sharply.

The shadow of the Divine Tree was suddenly absorbed back into Chu Fengmian’s body right behind him.

Though it only resisted for a fleeting moment, the power of the Five Elements Divine Saber was reduced to less than one-tenth.

But even with just one-tenth of its power, it was stronger than the strikes of several Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors combined.

Only then did Chu Fengmian realize why such a powerful being as the Five Elements Blade Saint was referred to as a half-step Heavenly Human Realm.

Their realm, though still at the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor level, had completely surpassed the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, reaching the threshold of the Heavenly Human Realm.

Even if ten Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors joined forces against the Five Elements Blade Saint, he could easily fight them one against ten.

Only after facing the actual battle did Chu Fengmian comprehend the might of a half-step Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse.

The exchange with the Five Elements Divine Saber caused a minor injury to the Divine Tree. If it resisted further, even the shadow of the Divine Tree, capable of blocking the edge of the Five Elements Divine Saber,

would leave an indelible mark on the Divine Tree, which is why Chu Fengmian withdrew the shadow of the Divine Tree.

Just as Chu Fengmian retracted the shadow of the Divine Tree, the Five Elements Divine Saber lost its resistance and immediately came slashing down on Chu Fengmian again.

A Five Elements Divine Saber at one-tenth its strength seemed easy to handle, but for any Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, this slash was an inevitable killing stroke, unstoppable.

"Blood Crystal Defense!"

Crack!

The 129,600 blood crystals on Chu Fengmian’s body seemed to condense into one in this moment.

And at this instant, the power of the Five Elements Divine Saber completely slashed onto Chu Fengmian’s body.

Within Chu Fengmian’s body, all kinds of power, like bloodline power and the power of creation from his life sword primordial, erupted simultaneously.

The Gate of Law, Ancient Bronze Gate, Nine Dragons Divine Cauldron, these three supreme spiritual artifacts, also guarded Chu Fengmian’s body firmly.

The three spiritual artifacts divided and blocked the three-tenths might of the Five Elements Divine Saber.

Yet even so, seventy percent of the power struck upon the blood crystal defenses.

The blood crystal defenses vibrated frantically, if not for Chu Fengmian’s protective spiritual power, they would crumble and dissipate in an instant.

Even though Chu Fengmian used his half-step immortal true body to endure this blow, he would be severely injured. However, as the blood crystal defenses vibrated, the power of the Five Elements Divine Saber gradually weakened, eventually dissipating.

Pfft!

Chu Fengmian suddenly spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood.

His face turned pale, clearly suffering significant injuries.
