Traveling across the globe for the first time

The Heavenly Emperor looked on in horror, only to find that the figure in front of him had vanished.

Zhang Haoran appeared on the left. He no longer intended to compete with the Heavenly Emperor in combat skills. He had just teleported within the Sword Dao Domain and used the rules of the sword to suppress the opponent's domain.

Having landed a successful blow, he raised his hand and struck again with his sword.

Decapitation sword technique!

Zheng!
The Blood Shadow Sword locked onto the Heavenly Emperor's neck and slashed down. This sword was extremely fast and powerful, and the Heavenly Emperor had no way to dodge it. The killing-type laws wrapped around the sword's edge made his intuition frantically warn him that if he were to be struck by this sword, it wouldn't just be a matter of losing his head; he would perish completely.

The Heavenly Emperor hurriedly raised his blood-red blade to parry. With a loud clang, the blade barely managed to block the sword, but the immense force of the strike was something he could not withstand.

He was immediately slashed, spitting blood as he flew backward. The speed was so fast that it created a sonic boom, and the shockwave swept outwards, shattering large areas of space in its path. Countless fragments passed by his body.

When both sides unleash the same amount of energy, Zhang Haoran's attack power is stronger due to the enhancement of his sword intent, giving him an absolute advantage in a head-on confrontation.

The Heavenly Emperor released some of his kinetic energy by flying backward, but his right arm, which was holding the sword, was still shattered. He looked at him with disbelief and said, "Impossible! How could you be a high-level sixth-order cultivator?"

He had personally witnessed the opponent continuously breaking through levels and growing stronger little by little. It was because he felt that the opponent's improvement was too fast and dangerous that he showed up. He didn't expect it to be too late. Now he couldn't even withstand the opponent's direct attack.

However, this was just the beginning. The Heavenly Emperor suddenly found that Zhang Haoran in front of him was a little blurry again. Then he felt a sense of crisis behind him again. He immediately raised his fist to block, but instead held the blood blade to his neck.

The Heavenly Emperor feared that the opponent would use the decapitation sword technique again; that kind of sure-kill law was the most terrifying.

However, through previous battles, he also figured out the activation conditions for the decapitation sword technique: the head must be cut off first.

However, this time he misjudged the situation. Zhang Haoran did not use the decapitation sword technique at all, but instead delivered a powerful and heavy slash. With a crack, his arm was severed, and an exaggeratedly large sword mark appeared on his body. If he had not been wearing the armor, he would probably have been cleaved in two by this sword.

Most importantly, the Heavenly Emperor was injured again, and his martial arts realm slipped once more...

Zhang Haoran knew that he couldn't kill the Heavenly Emperor instantly for the time being, so he would weaken him little by little and wait until the opponent brought out his last trump card and prepared to fight to the death before striking hard.

He felt uneasy without even glancing at the other party's cards.

He began to teleport repeatedly, not seeking a fatal blow, but only to inflict more wounds on his opponent.

The Heavenly Emperor struggled for a while, then suddenly felt his internal energy and blood become unstable.

"Oh no! I've been tricked!"

This is because too many of his martial arts realms have been severed, and he can no longer suppress the qi and blood within his body.

Although the Heavenly Emperor was an old fox with a knack for scheming, Zhang Haoran's speed was too fast, giving him no time to think and overwhelming him with absolute power.

A ruthless glint flashed in the Heavenly Emperor's eyes. He knew that if this continued, he would explode from loss of control of his qi and blood, even before the other party could unleash a killing move.

He said coldly, "I didn't expect you to be so good at hiding your true intentions."

It's a pity that I've been too afraid of being discovered by the Emperor to pay much attention to the affairs of the Three Realms; otherwise, I should have nipped you in the bud much earlier.

"But if I die, you won't have it easy either. What I can't have, no one else can have. You'll be buried with me, along with the entire Three Realms!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and beckoned, and the seed projection began to tremble, painfully opening its mouth and spitting out a bead that emitted a chaotic light.

However, the bead did not fly into the Heavenly Emperor's hand immediately; it was blocked by a layer of sword light.

This was Zhang Haoran's backup plan. He had long suspected that there was a problem with the seed projection, but the Heavenly Emperor was here and he couldn't investigate further. So, he took advantage of the opportunity to suppress the opponent earlier and set up several layers of defense.

The seed is currently surrounded by only the first layer of defense. There is a second layer outside the sea of ​​life, and a third layer in the battle zone. The treasure needs to break through all three layers of defense to return to the Heavenly Emperor's hands.

"Crack!"

The sword energy surrounding the seed shattered.

Zhang Haoran was startled and thought to himself, "Damn, what level of magic weapon is this? It broke through a layer of defense so quickly!"
It should be a seventh-tier magic weapon, and one that can't be used in combat. Otherwise, the Heavenly Emperor would have been carrying it with him. Luckily, I was prepared.

When he sensed the Heavenly Emperor's blood and energy beginning to surge violently, he prepared to end the battle.

Zhang Haoran raised his hand and pointed...

"boom!"

An illusory dueling arena descended, enveloping the two and completely severing the connection between the Heavenly Emperor and the magical artifact.

That's not all; even the laws within the small world were isolated, as if it were in an independent space.

This is a duel skill upgraded to tier six.

A feeling of weightlessness came over them, and the magic weapon, the celestial palace, and the seed projection all disappeared. Outside the duel arena was a pitch-black space, but beneath their feet was still the square.

The two are no longer in the Three Realms, but have arrived in the Duel Space.

Having reached the sixth rank, they have extremely high control over the laws. Even dueling skills can no longer pull enemies into the dueling space at will as before. This time, the entire plaza area where they were located was moved in.

The rule here is that entering the duel space requires a life-or-death struggle, and only one person can leave alive.

That magical artifact has broken free from the seed projection and lost the Heavenly Emperor's control, so there's no need to worry for now!
Zhang Haoran sneered inwardly, "Heh! This old bastard is finally willing to show his trump card, so I don't need to hide my strength anymore!"
We must finish this quickly! Otherwise, things could get complicated!
There's also the Heavenly Emperor's true form outside; we can't give him the chance to control that magical artifact.

He immediately unleashed his full power, revealing the aura of a peak sixth-tier cultivator.

"Zheng!"

An unparalleled sword intent soared into the sky, and the sharp airflow it generated left sword marks on the Heavenly Emperor's body. A bitter smile appeared on his face. He never expected that after planning for tens of thousands of years, he would finally be defeated by a junior.

"you……"

The Heavenly Emperor opened his mouth as if to say something, but was immediately interrupted by a sharp sword light.

Zhang Haoran didn't give the other party a chance to give his final words; he raised his hand and thrust out his sword.

Dugu Nine Swords!

Zheng!
The sharp sword light pointed directly at his brow. The Heavenly Emperor hadn't expected that his opponent would strike so ruthlessly without saying a word.

He was somewhat puzzled. Zhang Haoran was so young yet already possessed such great strength, and now he was about to slay him, the biggest boss. Shouldn't he make some victory remarks?
For example, one could criticize his insidious and ruthless nature, his view of all living beings in the Three Realms as mere ants, and how his schemes have directly or indirectly caused the deaths of countless martial artists over the past tens of thousands of years.

However, Zhang Haoran didn't utter a single unnecessary word, and his swordsmanship became increasingly fierce, with each move aimed directly at vital points.

Blaming the other party? There's absolutely no need! Just kill them and that's it.

The villain dies because he talks too much!

He didn't want to waste time talking nonsense, allowing the Heavenly Emperor's true form to control the magic weapon, and ultimately leading to mutual destruction.

Even if the Heavenly Emperor were to be judged in front of all the powerful beings in the Three Realms, his original body would still need to be judged. This reincarnated body is too powerful and easily gets out of control, so it would be safer to just kill him directly.

"Dang~"

Even with all his might, the Heavenly Emperor could only barely block the sword strike, and his arm was shattered and half of his body went numb from the impact.

Now, every time he catches a sword, he has to rebuild his arm, which makes him realize the seriousness of the problem. His painstakingly cultivated reincarnation may really perish here today.

In the Void Realm, the Heavenly Emperor was only at a disadvantage, but here he was completely suppressed.

This is actually quite normal. The difference between the two lies not only in their qi and blood, but also in their domains. Once outside the boundary, the Heavenly Emperor can no longer mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao, and is simply unable to contend with the sword domain, resulting in a significant weakening of his strength.

Zhang Haoran not only has the bonus from his domain, but he can also increase his attack power when fighting in the duel arena.

Each time a powerful enemy falls here, the duel skill can absorb the scattered essence, thereby increasing its level.

If the Heavenly Emperor were to perish here, this skill would undoubtedly receive an epic-level enhancement, with a high probability of directly breaking through to the seventh tier and becoming a divine skill.

After all, the Heavenly Emperor is the ultimate boss of the Three Realms and the mastermind behind all the conspiracies. His causal influence is enormous!

If there is notarization from the Paradise of Reincarnation, killing the Heavenly Emperor will definitely yield more than 50% of the World Source.

Swords flashed and sword energy crisscrossed, a dark red killing intent permeated the entire dueling arena.

Zhang Haoran's every sword strike aimed straight for vital points, giving his opponent absolutely no chance.

The Heavenly Emperor was in grave danger; he could neither dodge nor block the attacks, and each sword strike left a mark on his body.

"Zhengzhengzheng!"

Another three-game winning streak.

The Heavenly Emperor barely managed to block the first sword strike before his blood-stained blade was shattered, and he was powerless to defend against the remaining two...

With a whoosh, two sword lights flashed, an arm flew high into the air, and the final sword cut it in half at the waist.

Just as the Heavenly Emperor was about to unleash his vital energy, breaking through the immortal sword intent at the wound and regenerating his limbs...

Suddenly, I felt my internal energy and blood surging uncontrollably.

There was a loud bang!
A bloody hole exploded in his chest. This was not due to an attack, but rather because his martial arts level had fallen too far, and he could no longer control his qi and blood. The qi and blood that were originally circulating towards his waist exploded directly in his chest.

"It's over!"

The Heavenly Emperor felt despair. Even in his prime, he was no match for the Heavenly Emperor. Now that his vital energy was out of his control, it meant that he was not far from death.

As expected of a powerful figure who ventured alone into the chaos, he did not break down even in the face of such a desperate situation, and was determined to fight to the death one last time.

"I haven't lost yet! Even if I die, I won't let you get away with this."

The Heavenly Emperor roared and poured a large amount of his blood and qi into the Blood Blade. The Blood Blade trembled continuously and emitted a dazzling red light. After all, he was a powerful figure who had dominated several eras. His reaction was extremely fast. He began to activate a self-harming secret technique, sacrificing his maximum blood and qi to launch a fatal attack.

In the Heavenly Emperor's view, since the decline in martial arts realm has led to the inability to control such a large amount of vital energy, then sacrifice a portion of vital energy to unleash a killing move!
Not only can it unleash tremendous power in a short period of time, but the remaining vital energy is also easier to control.

Before being overwhelmed by the damage, he was confident he could hold on. As long as he could buy enough time, he could use his backup plan. While a comeback was impossible, mutual destruction was still an option.

Looking at the soaring blood energy, Zhang Haoran frowned and said, "This old guy really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and he's too hard to kill."

But you're still going to die!

His eyes flashed with silver light, and his sharp gaze seemed to see through everything. When a secret technique is unleashed, there is usually a great flaw. As long as you can seize this weakness, you can kill him with one blow. Masters of technique are best at seizing the opportunity.

"Have it!"

His eyes lit up, and two illusory sword energies burst forth. At the same time, the Blood Shadow Sword pierced out like lightning, locking onto the opponent's brow.

Zhang Haoran discovered that when the Heavenly Emperor was severely injured, he used a self-harming secret technique, which placed a huge burden on his mental body, leaving him almost defenseless on the mental level.

The illusory sword energy was extremely fast, instantly attacking the Heavenly Emperor's sea of ​​consciousness, causing his blood and qi to stagnate.

"go to hell!"

He concentrated all his vital energy into this one sword strike, giving the Heavenly Emperor no chance. It would be too easy for him to die from a loss of control over his vital energy, and it wouldn't be safe enough either.

This is, after all, a super old silver coin; who knows if it has the ability to take someone else's place?

You must first destroy the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness before using the laws to kill them.

The sword strike was incredibly fast, arriving in the blink of an eye, while the Heavenly Emperor's secret technique was only halfway activated.

Helplessly, he raised his blood-stained blade, trying to block the sword and buy himself some more time. However, the sword was too powerful, piercing through everything with an aura that seemed capable of penetrating even a planet in its path.

when!
The blood-stained blade struck the longsword, instantly shattering it without even causing the longsword to deviate.

"Pfft!"

The Blood Shadow Sword plunged straight in, piercing through the Heavenly Emperor's brow with a crisp crack, and his sea of ​​consciousness was penetrated.

"Boom!"

The Heavenly Emperor's sea of ​​consciousness began to collapse.

Still feeling it wasn't safe enough, Zhang Haoran immediately withdrew his longsword and unleashed another horizontal slash...

Zheng!
The sword rang out crisply.

A crimson light emanated from the Blood Shadow Sword; it was a law of certain death.

With a sharp crack, golden blood splattered, and the Heavenly Emperor's head flew high into the air. His eyes widened, filled with resentment. He had a trump card, and a great secret...

But everything vanished under this sword strike.

Boom!

The headless corpse slowly fell to the ground...

A dazzling golden light erupted from the dueling arena, signifying the fall of the world's strongest warrior. The dueling skill absorbed a massive amount of essence and boundless fortune, beginning its transformation.

Zhang Haoran didn't have time to check what changes had occurred, and immediately chose to withdraw. His figure gradually faded away as he left the duel space.

A flash of white light, and he was back in the square, but the Heavenly Emperor's corpse had vanished.

Swish!
He flashed to the side of the precious pearl. It gave him a dangerous feeling, as if it could explode at any moment.

I sensed someone approaching and even shook.

Zhang Haoran's gaze sharpened. Sure enough, this magic weapon had already established a certain connection with the Heavenly Emperor's true form. Fortunately, this connection was not strong enough to trigger a self-destruction.

After all, being separated by a small world, controlling a magical artifact of this level is not so easy.

He immediately used his mental power to wrap the bead and forcibly put it into his storage space.

Once inside the system space, even the most powerful magical artifacts have to obey.

"It's finally solved!"

Only then did he let out a long breath and look into the depths of the Great Dao Universe, where the battle was extremely fierce. At first, the Heavenly Emperor was indeed very powerful, able to hold his own against ten opponents.

However, the killing of his reincarnated body caused the Heavenly Emperor considerable backlash, and he is now being suppressed by the emperor. (End of Chapter)
