Chapter 1488: Chapter 1178: How About Trying This Sword?
Empress Tianhong naturally did not want Lu Chen to take action. She had already heavily injured Tianlu Emperor and was about to kill Tianlu Emperor. If Lu Chen stepped out at this time to steal the kill, then wouldnât her injuries have been for nothing?
Moreover, Tianlu Emperor was an emperor at the Ninth Layer Realm, slaying an emperor at this level would allow her to absorb a much denser Evil Qi, which would greatly aid her in enhancing her strength.
Seeing the resentment on Empress Tianhongâs face as she stared at him, Lu Chen had no choice but to say, âAlright then, Iâll leave him to you.â
After speaking, Lu Chen casually checked Empress Tianhongâs body again. After confirming that she had no issues, he refrained from saying more.
At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something and immediately delivered the Shattering God Sword to Empress Tianhongâs side, âWhy not try this sword?â
Even though the Emperorâs Sword was Empress Tianhongâs personal sword and had become a Holy Tier weapon, it still could not completely withstand the Power of Slaughter that emanated from her.
Every time Empress Tianhong used the Emperorâs Sword, it would release numerous clones to bear the Power of Slaughter from her body.
As a result, Empress Tianhong was not directly in contact with the Emperorâs Sword, and her strength was significantly weakened in reality.
If there were a Spirit Sword that could bear the Power of Slaughter from Empress Tianhong, her strength could likely be greatly enhanced.
The Shattering God Sword was an Immortal Artifact, capable of enduring the Power of Slaughter. If Empress Tianhong wielded it, her battle prowess would rise to an unknown level, which Lu Chen was eager to test now.
Seeing the Shattering God Sword floating in front of her, Empress Tianhong was slightly stunned. Though the Emperorâs Sword was already a Holy Tier Spirit Sword, she could distinctly feel that the grade of the Shattering God Sword was even higher.
Moreover, the aura emanating from the blade of the Shattering God Sword instilled a touch of fear even in her heart, who was a great emperor controlling the Power of Slaughter, making one imagine just how terrifying this sword truly was.
What comes after the Holy Tier?
Itâs the Emperor Artifact. She remembered seeing people from the Outer Domain use Emperor Artifacts before; Emperor Artifacts didnât seem to have such might.
Thus, this Spirit Swordâs grade might actually be higher than that of an Emperor Artifact. What kind of grade surpasses the Emperor Artifact?
Immortal Artifact?
Thinking of this possibility, the gaze of Empress Tianhong upon the Shattering God Sword became fervent. Perhaps sensing her emotions, the Emperorâs Sword floating beside her began to become restless.
After all, the Emperorâs Sword had been her personal sword for countless years, and seeing Empress Tianhongâs eyes shine as she looked at another Spirit Sword, it was natural for the Emperorâs Sword to feel a bit unhappy.
Sensing the Emperorâs Swordâs emotions, Empress Tianhong came back to her senses. She looked at Lu Chen and asked, âWhat grade of Spirit Sword is this?â
Lu Chen directly conveyed through a sound transmission, âItâs not a Spirit Sword, itâs an Immortal Sword.â
Upon hearing Lu Chenâs affirmation, Empress Tianhongâs heart thrilled anew. If it were an Immortal Artifact, it could indeed withstand the Power of Slaughter, allowing her full strength to be exerted, without fear of accidentally destroying her personal sword.
Seeing the twinkle in Empress Tianhongâs eyes, Lu Chen immediately reminded her, âIâm only lending it to you, not giving it away.â
Hearing this, it was like a bucket of cold water was dumped over Empress Tianhong, but she quickly calmed her inner excitement. After all, this was an Immortal Sword; it was unlikely Lu Chen would part with a treasure of such caliber.
Using it for a while is good enough.
Empress Tianhong stopped letting her imagination run wild, no longer hesitating. She directly reached out and gripped the hilt of the Shattering God Sword.
In the next moment, the Power of Slaughter from within Empress Tianhong surged crazily into the Shattering God Sword, and her aura soared wildly at this moment; the Shattering God Sword had a tremendous amplification on her strength.
Feeling the rapidly increasing aura emanating from Empress Tianhong and the rampant overflow of the Power of Slaughter, Tianlu Emperorâs face changed drastically instantly. Just by holding that strange sword, this womanâs power had surged so much!
How is this possible!
What grade of Spirit Sword is this, truly!
Could it actually be the legendary Emperor Artifact?
How could there be an Emperor Artifact in this universe!
Isnât it said that without a Heavenly Emperor, no Emperor Artifact exists!
According to some legends from the Ancient Era, only a Heavenly Emperor could forge an Emperor Artifact, because the creation of such a weapon required the Origin Power of this universe.
When an era collapses, even the Emperor Artifacts born within that era are destroyed, as the laws of the new era have changed, causing the Emperor Artifacts forged with the Origin Power of the old era to be repelled and thus destroyed.
Without a Heavenly Emperor, it is impossible for this universe to spawn an Emperor Artifact.
Wait, Heavenly EmperorâŠ
Tianlu Emperorâs gaze suddenly fixed on Lu Chen. If Lu Chen really was a Heavenly Emperor, then even if he hadnât regained his Heavenly Emperor strength, could he still possibly use the Origin Power to forge an Emperor Artifact?
Thinking about this possibility, Tianlu Emperor broke out in a cold sweat. He didnât know the exact power of an Emperor Artifact as he had never used one nor seen one before.
But he knew how terrifying a Holy Artifact was. That woman had already injured him badly using a Holy Artifact while only at the Sixth Layer Realm.
If that woman wielded an Emperor Artifact, he would undoubtedly die!
With this thought, Tianlu Emperor did not hesitate, gathering all his strength and utilizing his Sword Dao power.
A mighty force converged into the giant sword in the hands of the Dharma Artifact of Tianlu Emperor, who then swung it out sharply with a shout.
âHeaven and Earth Slash!!!â
Strike first and decisively; he absolutely couldnât let that woman wield that sword.
With Tianlu Emperorâs swing, the void trembled, and as the Sword Qi passed, the universe rang with the shrill sound of shattering.
Seeing Tianlu Emperor anxiously swing his sword, Empress Tianhong merely sneered. With Lu Chenâs help, her injuries were healed, and her strength had returned.
Tianlu Emperor was already heavily injured, and even by burning his Divine Soul, he couldnât restore his powers to the former state. Defeating Tianlu Emperor at this time was easy for Empress Tianhong.
Empress Tianhong gripped the Shattering God Sword tightly, channeling the Power of Slaughter into it. As the terrifying Sword Qi swung by Tianlu Emperor closed in on them, Empress Tianhong also swung her sword.
It was just a casual swing, with no Swordsmanship involved.
The Sword Qi emitted by the Shattering God Sword was infused with the Power of Slaughter. Upon contact with the Sword Qi from Tianlu Emperor, it instantly annihilated it. At a speed surpassing light, it sliced directly through Tianlu Emperorâs body before he could react, a crack appeared on his body, emitting a blood-red glow.
Realizing this, Tianlu Emperor found that he could no longer mobilize his Spiritual Power, and even his Divine Soul power was gradually fading.
A look of disbelief appeared on Tianlu Emperorâs face, âNo⊠impossible!â
At this point, he couldnât even self-destruct, all he could do was watch as his body turned into points of light, slowly dissipating into the universe.
