Chapter 486 - 268: Sword Realm Pagoda, Beheading the Beidou Sword King

"You haven’t dishonored the name ’Sword King’!"

Wei Fan looked grave, as Beidou Sword King was undeniably the greatest Sword Dao master he had encountered thus far.

Although he wielded his hand as a sword, within his heart spirit, a towering sword aura appeared, threatening to cleave open his heart spirit world.

This strike was not a mere clash of power but a battle on the level of heart and spirit.

Wei Fan’s golden primordial spirit opened its eyes, transforming into an endless sword aura that shattered the sword aura, while externally, his hand sword cleaved open the great sun.

In an instant, both sword aura and great sun shattered, leaving only the purest physical collision.

Bang!

Beidou Sword King felt a scorching pain in his palm, as if he had struck an iron hammer; his arm was bounced high by the immense force and blown back by the terrifying power.

"He just broke through; how can his physical body be so formidable!"

He showed a look of surprise, his body retreating rapidly, but Wei Fan’s fist punched through his palm and heavily struck his body.

A clear, blood-seeping fist seal appeared on his fist, surrounded by a spiderweb of cracks, looking rather sinister.

"Boom!"

Wei Fan, seizing the advantage, pursued him relentlessly, delivering a palm strike that caused the entire sky to shudder as if it were being lashed by stormy waves.

"Sword Realm Pagoda!"

Beidou Sword King let out a low shout, and the broken domain surged, transforming into a world of swords, with dense sword qi like a torrent rushing toward Wei Fan’s palm.

In the next moment, as the palm descended, striking the domain, his palm almost had the domain shaken apart, and a sheet of snow-white flames emerged from Wei Fan’s palm.

Sun True Flame Palm!

This was a martial arts technique inherited from the Martial King, but he had only learned the content of the Martial Venerable Chapter from the Demon Hunter Sub-Hall, not the Martial King Chapter.

However, for the Sun True Flame Palm technique, the real factor deciding the power of the palm technique was not one’s own power but the flame used during the cultivation of the palm technique.

This martial arts technique was originally cultivated using Nanming Li Fire, but since he didn’t have Nanming Li Fire, he used the stronger Sun True Fire for cultivation, which made the power of his palm technique far surpass the original version.

With no sound, the domain of Beidou Sword King was instantly burned through by the Sun True Fire, and even the torrent-like sword aura showed signs of igniting.

"Is this the Nanming Li Fire Palm? How can the Nanming Li Fire Palm be so terrifying?"

Beidou Sword King’s scalp tingled; such terrifying flames, if burned on him, would create a hole in his powerful body even if he were a Martial King.

He shook the domain, his body retreating madly.

Clang...

A sharp sword chant sounded as the great sword, lying on Beidou Sword King’s back, was unsheathed, falling into his hand. In an instant, terrifying sword qi soared to the sky, with the fluctuations of the Martial King Divine Soldier surging in all directions.

"I didn’t expect I’d need to use this Star Meteor Sword to kill you!"

He gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and as the Martial King’s power poured in, the Star Meteor Sword seemed to rend the sky, emitting catastrophic destructive waves.

King’s Soldier!

Only a Martial King could truly unleash the power of a King’s Soldier, while even a Martial Venerable with a Seven-Colored Golden Body Ninth Forging could only exhibit one percent of it.

Compared to Martial Venerate Divine Soldiers, King’s Soldiers not only had arrays but were also tempered by the will and true essence of the Martial King, making them in a league of their own. Martial King powerhouses would even delay their cultivation for a long time to comprehend the array, all because of the importance of King’s Soldiers.

For a Martial King, King’s Soldiers are equally crucial, as the difference in combat strength between those with and without King’s Soldiers at the same realm is not just minor.

Boom!

Beidou Sword King raised both hands high, as the Star Meteor Sword unleashed terrifying waves, sweeping down. Even before the sword edge reached him, the Sun True Fire on Wei Fan’s hands began to disintegrate, unable to withstand the King’s Soldier’s onslaught.

Even the domain outside his body twisted, as if about to be destroyed by the terrifying waves.

"Retreat!"

Faced with this scene, he had no choice but to abandon his advantageous position and retreat, avoiding the edge of the King’s Soldier.

Although Beidou Sword King’s Star Meteor Sword was merely an elementary King’s Soldier, it could undoubtedly cleave through his body.

The enormous sword aura brushed past Wei Fan’s body, slicing open several distant mountains in its wake, which then disintegrated into rubble under the waves of the King’s Soldier!

"Why are there Martial Kings fighting here? Our human race has only a few Martial Kings, why are they battling!"

"Which two Martial Kings are fighting?"

"It’s too far; I can’t see clearly!"

"The aura of Martial Kings is earth-shattering; I wish I could watch up close, but unfortunately, we can’t even approach!"

...

The battle between two Martial Kings had already spread aura hundreds of miles away, and the terrifying waves surged between heaven and earth, leaving those who felt it utterly shocked and horrified.

Some Martial Venerable powerhouses attempted to withstand the pressure to approach and watch the fight but couldn’t manage it. Even dozens of miles away, they couldn’t withstand the pressure of two Martial Kings. They descended from the sky, unable to spectate, much less see the shadows of those exchanging blows.

"Could it be a Martial King from the Desert Martial Alliance came to kill Wei Fan, and began fighting with the Martial King backing Wei Fan?"

Deng Yuchang showed a look of startled shock. Although he couldn’t see those exchanging blows, he suspected it was related to Wei Fan.

Human Race’s Martial Kings are divided into two camps: either the Desert Martial Alliance or the Demon Hunter Organization’s Martial Kings. Besides those, there are no rogue Martial Kings.

Though the Martial Kings of the two factions have had friction, they have refrained from fighting for many years, maintaining restraint. Martial Kings of the Human Race fighting, apart from something involving Wei Fan, he couldn’t think of any other reason.

"No, this must be reported to the Demon Hunter Organization!"

With a flip of the hand, Deng Yuchang took out the waist token to begin contacting the Demon Hunter Organization.

"This kind of sword intent indicates that Beidou Sword King has come to kill Wei Fan!"

Someone was overjoyed, although Deng Yuchang was only speculating, the peak sects within Da Liang were certain that Beidou Sword King had come to kill Wei Fan.

They did not leave Da Liang nor enter the Demon Suppression Bureau exactly because they knew Beidou Sword King was coming to kill Wei Fan.

As for whether the person facing off against Beidou Sword King was Wei Fan, they didn’t know, but all peak sects were waiting for the battle between Wei Fan and Beidou Sword King to end.

...

Utilizing the King’s Soldier signifies that the battle between Wei Fan and Beidou Sword King has reached its peak and is about to decide life and death.

"You are indeed a demon, able to suppress me as soon as you enter the Martial King realm, truly shaking history, but unfortunately, your cultivation time is still too short. Don’t mention King’s Soldiers, relying on yourself, I’m afraid you haven’t refined even a Martial Venerate Divine Soldier!"

Beidou Sword King saw his King’s Soldier turn the tide, and his spirit was lifted, shouting vigorously as he continued to attack Wei Fan with his sword.

Although he had been suppressed by Wei Fan earlier, as long as Wei Fan did not have a King’s Soldier, he was still confident in defeating Wei Fan.

As for killing Wei Fan, even if he held a King’s Soldier now, he had no confidence. Wei Fan, if defeated, could escape.

If a Martial King wholeheartedly wanted to escape, those of the same realm could only watch idly; even chasing for days and nights would be of no use. Unless Wei Fan confronted him directly, he had hope of killing Wei Fan.

Boom!

The Star Meteor Sword slashed again, and the Sword Aura nearly split the void.

"King’s Soldiers don’t necessarily need to be self-refined. Didn’t you know that the Guangling Sect disciple who came to kill me brought me a King’s Soldier?"

Wei Fan flipped his wrist, and the King’s Soldier long blade, taken from the Guangling Sect disciple, appeared in his hand, exuding the aura and presence of a King’s Soldier.

The next moment, his giant blade also slashed toward Beidou Sword King.

Beidou Sword King’s expression turned ugly, and he couldn’t help but lowly curse, "Damn!"

He pretended to retreat and truly didn’t know that Wei Fan had seized a King’s Soldier from a Guangling Sect disciple. The advantage he had finally gained was nullified due to these pig teammates from Guangling Sect, who had already given Wei Fan a King’s Soldier.

These bastards used the Desert Martial Alliance’s rules to force him to solve Wei Fan but didn’t inform him of such critical intelligence.

"If Wei Fan can’t be killed, Guangling Sect is to blame, not I!"

Rumble...

The two King’s Soldiers collided, instantaneously resembling heaven and earth collapsing, everything trembling, destructive waves spreading from the sky, sinking a swath of earth.

"Humph! Humph!"

Two muffled grunts simultaneously emanated from Wei Fan and Beidou Sword King, their bodies intensely shaken, Qi blood surging, and their faces flushed.

The destructive waves from the King’s Soldiers collision even obliterated a piece of the domains they had erected, nearly reaching their bodies.

"The consequences of a King’s Soldier clash are extraordinarily monstrous!"

Wei Fan’s brow shone, and the golden Primordial Spirit opened its eyes, soothing the backlash from the domain’s destruction.

At the King’s Soldier level, raised by arrays, the attack power increase against a Martial King is substantial, even more than double. This results in a King’s Soldiers collision, where if both sides are not greatly different, the backlash’s strength would cause mutual damage to both parties.

"Beidou Demon-Vanquishing Sword!"

Beidou Sword King had just suppressed the backlash of the Primordial Spirit, and again raised the Star Meteor Sword, channeling the Power of All Heavens Stars to attack Wei Fan.

This strike was even more terrifying and appalling than before, with the starry sky converging, emitting obliterating waves.

"Kill!"

He shouted explosively, heavily slashing the Star Meteor Sword.

"No more holding back!"

The golden Primordial Spirit was too special; Wei Fan had been suppressing it, as it’s indeed the golden Primordial Spirit cultivated through the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations. Once exposed, those familiar with Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations might deduce he acquired this peerless cultivation technique.

But at this stage of battle, he knew if he didn’t unleash the Primordial Spirit, he couldn’t kill Beidou Sword King.

Wei Fan’s heart and spirit stirred, disappearing from the spot.

Beidou Sword King’s pupils contracted sharply, "He’s vanished, Form Follows Heart?"

In an instant, waves of shock churned in his heart.

In truth, at the Martial King realm, Martial King powerhouses can accomplish Form Follows Heart, directly traversing the void over short distances, although for a Martial King, this ability is extremely impractical.

This is because it isn’t exclusive to anyone, everyone can grasp it, you would use it, and I would too, rendering little effect in battle.

The main issue is Form Follows Heart, affected by the nearby domain interference, making it unusable for void traveling.

Essentially, in a Martial King’s hand-to-hand, this ability is entirely ineffective against the opponent, only usable against those below Martial King. But when a Martial King wants to kill experts below that level, there’s no need to use this ability; a palm strike will suffice.

So in most cases, Form Follows Heart for a Martial King is just a sign of the Primordial Spirit realm, not applicable in combat.

Yet presently, Wei Fan ignored his domain interference, vanishing directly from before his eyes.

"Not good!"

Reacting, Beidou Sword King’s expression changed drastically, having mastered this ability himself, he naturally understood how terrifying it was to use in battle, almost an invincible technique, elusive and indefensible, even if his strength was superior, he could only suffer passively.

He quickly turned around, slashing the Star Meteor Sword behind him, but there was nothing, the Star Meteor Sword cleaving empty space.

At the same time, Wei Fan’s figure appeared on Beidou Sword King’s left, Martial Venerate Divine Soldier emitted terrifying waves as it struck.
