Chapter 2461 - Battle in Skysolute City
Lin Yun didn’t give up and asked, “Is there no way to restore your status as a myth?”
This was a serious matter because if the Black Emperor couldn’t restore his status as a myth, he would be reduced to an ordinary emperor.
“If you used the sovereign divine runes, I would probably fall from the Emperor Realm,” the Black Emperor nodded.
Lin Yun was surprised because he hadn’t expected the Myriad Celestial Sword to be so powerful. But Lin Yun also suffered the price as he felt weak and incapable of standing up. Executing it would've drained all his vitality if he didn’t have a powerful physique.
If he used the Sovereign Divine Runes, the price would be unimaginable, and it would be a suicide with the enemy. The Iris Sword Saint shouldn’t have paid any price when he used it back then. Perhaps things might be different if he reached the pinnacle of the Great Saint Realm. But now that he used it on the Black Emperor, he couldn’t help feeling uneasy.
Seeing Lin Yun’s expression, the Black Emperor smiled, “It doesn’t matter. Perhaps I can even reach the Deity Realm if the Heavenly Path was reforged. My status as a myth came from the Iris Sword Saint, and your sword helped me sever the karma instead.”
Lin Yun was stunned, not knowing what the Black Emperor said was true.
The White Emperor said, “There’s such a benefit? Why don’t you give me a sword as well?”
“He would have to use the Sovereign Divine Runes. I have tested the sword for Lin Yun, and you can test the Myriad Celestial Sword using Sovereign Divine Runes,” the Black Emperor smiled.
The White Emperor glared at the Black Emperor, “You want me dead?”
“Hahaha!” The Black Emperor laughed.
“Let’s go back to the Sword Sect first,” Lil’ Purple said.
When they returned to the Sword Sect, Lin Yun returned to his Cloud Soaring Peak. Returning to his residence again, Lin Yun felt complicated. But before he could exclaim more, Lil' Purple dragged him into the Iris Secret Realm and sat down beneath the Phoenix Tree.
The Phoenix Tree was over a thousand feet now, emitting a saint radiance and a faint fragrance. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
When Lil’ Purple waved her hand, strands of golden light enveloped Lin Yun and entered his body. This recovered all of Lin Yun’s exhausted vitality, and the process didn’t take long.
“This is really magical,” Lin Yun exclaimed. “I exhausted almost half of my vitality earlier. Although it didn’t affect me, it would still take me at least half a month to recover.”
“This is a reward from the Phoenix Tree. Back then, you gave the divine dragon saint liquid that you obtained with great difficulty to the Phoenix Tree, and you deserve it,” Lil’ Purple smiled.
“It won’t cause any side effects to it, right?” Lin Yun asked.
Glancing at the Phoenix Tree, Lil’ Purple smiled, “It’s fine. It’s happy that it can finally help you now!”
The Phoenix Tree swayed, producing a rustling sound as if it was responding to Lil’ Purple.
Lin Yun merely smiled and felt that what he had contributed in the past was worth it. An hour later, after recovering more or less, he said, “I’m going out to walk around.”
Lil’ Purple naturally knew who Lin Yun wanted to meet, and she didn’t stop him. Since Lin Yun came to the Sword Sect, he never rested again. Now that he finally had some casual time, he naturally had to reunite with his martial brothers.
Walking out of the Divine Firmament Peak, Lin Yun looked for Ye Ziling, Ye Ziyun, Mu Qingqing, Zhao Yan, Gongsun Yan, and Jin Xuanyi, along with those who had previously fought by his side. After meeting again, there wasn’t any barrier between them, and they chatted for a long time, with Lin Yun sharing his experience after leaving the Sword Sect.
“I’m not sure about it. The battle between Yu Qingfeng and I is coming close, and you can come with me to the Skysolute City with your martial brothers and sister,” the Radiant Sword Emperor said, shaking his head. “My objective in this battle isn’t to win but to seek an answer.”
Lin Yun’s eyes blazed with expectation, and he said, “Master, what are your odds of winning?”
“My odds aren’t high, but I will have no regret after this battle. Since that sword three thousand years ago, I’ve always dreamt of fighting him, and I’m finally worthy now,” the Radiant Sword Emperor smiled.
Looking at the anticipation on his master’s face, Lin Yun wasn’t worried because he knew that his master no longer had an obsession in his heart. He and the entire Kunlun Realm were looking forward to that battle.
Since the news of Yu Qingfeng and Radiant Sword Emperor’s battle spread out, all swordsmen in Kunlun Realm were alarmed. After all, no one could shake Yu Qingfeng’s title as the Sword Emperor for thousands of years. There wasn’t even a worthy challenger simply because Yu Qingfeng was too powerful.
But the news of the Radiant Sword Saint becoming an Emperor spread far and wide, not to mention that he even faced three emperors on the Scarlet Firmament Peak, defeating the Silver Dragon King. Many people speculated about the Radiant Sword Emperor’s strength, but no one expected him to challenge Yu Qingfeng immediately.
Because of that, the sect masters of many sects who focused on swordsmanship rushed to Skysolute City with their disciples. Countless swordsmen gathered in the Skysolute City, all here to observe this battle destined to shake the world.
At the same time, news began to spread that the Empress would hold a Deitification Ceremony. At this ceremony, she would officially attempt to reach the Deity Realm, becoming the first to do so in the past three thousand years. This piece of news was also explosive, but it wasn’t certain. So, it hadn’t been completely spread out in Kunlun Realm.
The Blade Emperor was baffled in the Profound Imperial Palace as he looked at the Empress, “Yan Chen, the ceremony is more or less prepared. Why are you not announcing the date?”
All the resources required for this ceremony, including the ceremonial stage, had been prepared. As long as the Empress was willing, she could host the ceremony whenever possible.
The Flame Emperor said, “You’re planning to give them a chance?”
Nodding her head, the Empress replied, “The White, Black, and Sword Emperors were confident Flower Burial could defeat me. So, I’ll allow him to challenge me at the ceremony. I also want to see the strength of someone chosen by the Iris Sword Saint and Southern Emperor.”
The Empress was a prideful person, and she naturally wouldn’t accept Lin Yun, not to mention that she was furious with the White and Black Emperors’ betrayal.
“They’re making it seem like I’m the bad person when it was a mess the Southern Emperor left behind. Without me, would Kunlun Realm have lasted till now?” The Empress said coldly with reluctance on her face. She still couldn’t accept that the Southern Emperor gave up everything for a dead person.
“Since he made his choice, I’ll give him this chance. I want to see what’s so impressive about his chosen person!” The Empress said coldly.
The Blade and Flame Emperors said nothing because they knew that the Empress was talking about the Southern Emperor, and it was the Southern Emperor who chose Lin Yun.
“But what if...” The Blade Emperor hesitated with a hint of worry in his eyes.
“If I lost, I could give up the entire world and guard his tomb for the rest of my life. Consider it paying the sins I did in the past,” the Empress replied.
“I’ll be with you!” The Blade Emperor said.
The Empress glanced at the Blade Emperor and disappeared on the throne, saying nothing.
The Flame Emperor finally couldn’t stand it any longer, and he said, “She wants to guard the Southern Emperor’s tomb. Why are you going there for?”
The Blade Emperor’s face turned red, and he argued, “Can’t I guard the Southern Emperor’s tomb as well? Furthermore...what does it have to do with you?”
The Blade Emperor soon left, not willing to stay for another moment.
