Chapter 1976: Shattered Shard
The people stood up in terror as they witnessed Rayn Shard unleashing his move.
When the sword fell, a certain part of the space was engulfed by spatial tears just like that within an instant. Their eyes could only see a dark cavern appearing, twisting space as it tried to suck everything inside that they could even see spatial storms.
It was the first time they witnessed a spatial tear of this level.
Without the barrier still present, they mused that they could be sucked inside because they could feel the force of the pull, which could rip apart their very bodies.
The Mandate Emperor had already stood up, ready to intervene and save Fairy Myria, but he could not see her figure. Was she already sucked inside the big spatial tear?
His expression became twisted. However, one look at the Emperor of Death and saw that he maintained his calm, although he could see his fingers tightly clench before loosening. The Mandate Emperor then moved his gaze to another part of the battle arena and witnessed Fairy Myria's figure appearing there, looking unscathed.
Not even the hem of her robe was affected by the spatial pull.
"As I said, you're too slow."
"...!?"
Rayn Shard's heart skipped a beat as he heard Fairy Myria's voice, turning to look at her, appear in another direction. Even if he could not take her down with his sword strike, the spatial tear should've been enough to engulf her.
He couldn't understand how she could be so fast even now! In front of spatial tears, all kinds of speed should be rendered useless unless the body could withstand the spatial tear's suction!
After all, when someone moves in the opposite direction from a vast force of pull, the pressure alone will tear them apart.
Has her bodily might reached such a level!?
Even Adlet Rayburn, who took pride in his speed, had his mouth hanging agape slightly, feeling a bit unmatched in front of her.
"You seem to be stalling for time by hurling insults and disturbing with my focus. Let me tell you that using the Soaring Emperor Sword doesn't take much energy. It practically is a perfect fit for me."
"For a pretentious person like you, it might be which says a lot about the Soaring Emperor Sword." Ellia snickered.
*Bzz!~*
The Soaring Emperor Sword began vibrating in Rayn Shard's grasp as though it was angered, causing his pupils to dilate. He abruptly slapped its hilt with his other hand, causing it to become silent before he shot towards her.
Abruptly, he appeared before Fairy Myria and swung at her neck. It cut through her neck like tofu, but there was no satisfaction in Rayn Shard's expression because he couldn't feel the resistance of her flesh. His pupils shot down, only to feel a predatory gaze of a tiger shaking his heart.
Fairy Myria took the pose of a pouncing tiger, ready to cut his head off.
*Whoosh!~*
However, Rayn Shard instantly retreated.
"Pui!~"
His master would likely not have a prowess greater than a newly ascended Immortal. If that's the case, she was assured of being able to escape.
"I heard the Emperor Sword Sect was righteous and full of upright men, but it seems like it's not the case, at least not anymore."
Ellia took a step forward in mid-air as she spoke. Her figure became shrouded in a divine white layer before it extended into a five-kilometer sphere, causing countless eyes to become wide open in shock.
"A Perfect Martial Domain..."
Moreover, the sphere exuded a level of Light Laws they had never seen before.
It wasn't their first time seeing someone use Light Laws for Body Tempering Cultivation, but Light Laws were not that useful for the body since it only makes people faster. A cultivator's body should be high in defense and balanced in offense and speed or lower in subsequent order. That's why many choose Earth Law Manuals and Metal Law Manuals when practicing Body Tempering Cultivation, but it was their first time seeing someone maintain a high offense, defense, and speed while training Light Laws, which flipped their view in it.
"No matter how strong something may be, if it doesn't hit, it's useless."
Rayn Shard was practically shocked at this scene that he let down his guard for a moment. When he came back to his senses, a chilling voice resounded beside his ear, causing him to slash in that direction.
However, when he swung halfway, he noticed that his sword wasn't in his hand anymore, causing him to break out into a cold sweat as he turned to look at Fairy Myria.
She was holding the Soaring Emperor Sword in her hand with a vacant look in her eyes, the trembling Soaring Emperor Sword seemingly becoming calm at this moment.
*Boom!~*
Abruptly, its undulations exploded into tumultuous waves of sword energy, causing many lacerations to appear within space.
"Ahaha! Fool! Only a person from the Emperor Sword Sect will be accepted by it. Anyone else who tries to use it will be met with a miserable fa-"
Suddenly, Rayn Shard noticed something strange.
There were many spatial cracks appearing with space lacerating, but why did Fairy Myria appear unharmed by it? Even her robes were practically unharmed, while the fierce winds only made her look cool as her icy-blue robe swayed and her white hair danced.
"Hmph! You don't want to be controlled by me? Fine. I can't be bothered to take such a trash weapon either."
*Bang!~*
Ellia's gaze became icy as she slapped the Soaring Emperor Sword, sending it flying.
*Puchi!~*
An entire gorge in space was created by it as though it was a cry of grievance from being slapped. However, seemingly becoming calm after releasing its energy, it turned around and shot towards Rayn Shard.
"Soaring Emperor Sword! I knew you had acknowledged me!"
Rayn Shard reached out with his hand, appearing prideful as he witnessed the sword rush towards him.
The Soaring Emperor Sword quickly reached him, appearing above his hand, but it didn't stop. It continued onwards and pierced through his chest, rupturing his middle dantian, causing Rayn Shard's eyes to go wide in shock. At the same time, he heard a scream from his Sect Leader that appeared as though it came from a distant time, but then...
*Boom!~*
Blood sprayed in the air as Rayn Shard exploded into a mass of flesh, causing countless jaws to drop!
