Chapter 947: Chapter 22: Another Fall and the Space-time Ring

“Very well!” Yuanhua did not oppose, he held admiration for the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor as well.

Had the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor been at his peak, perhaps the outcome would not have been the same.

There is a significant difference between ascending during decline and during the peak.

Evidently, the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor himself was aware of this.

“Though I claimed to hold nothing back, I was ultimately fearful. If I had burned brightest at my peak, perhaps there might still be a sliver of hope…”

As he spoke, he infused a sliver of his consciousness into his now dim lifebound longsword.

Then, the longsword flew out, merging into the starry sky.

“Let it await the fated one, my corpse, as promised, belongs to you!”

Once the lifebound flying sword vanished, the vitality the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor could have maintained rapidly waned, and in a blink, he truly perished.

The phenomenon of a Saint Emperor’s fall appeared again. Although the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor could not represent the way of the sword, the longswords in more than a dozen nearby star domains resonated in farewell.

In less than two months, the phenomenon of two Saint Emperors’ fall occurred.

Countless beings were in panic.

Everyone knew that great chaos was imminent.

Before the phenomenon ended, Yuanhua had already collected the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor’s corpse.

In fact, with the disappearance of the Space Ring, all those focused on the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor already saw the space that had been severed.

At first, there were Saint Emperors who wanted to scold and stop him, but as the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor had promised himself, in the end, everyone stayed silent.

Of course, the majority still feared Yuanhua’s strength.

The ability to kill the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor head-on meant he could also kill them.

When Yuanhua collected the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor’s body, those secretly watching thought the Shattered Star Sacred Land people would leave.

However, at this moment, they saw a figure appearing before Yuanhua.

At the same time, other Saint Emperors from the Shattered Star Sacred Land also appeared, and the atmosphere became tense once more.

“Could it be they want to take advantage?”

“Maybe it’s for the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor…”

“That is the Yuanhua Saint Emperor… Don’t they value their lives?”

Those who didn’t recognize Wang Sheng thought internally that Wang Sheng was courting death.

They knew that even if Yuanhua Saint Emperor had just experienced battle, he was not someone ordinary Saint Emperors could provoke, let alone with other Saint Emperors from the Shattered Star Sacred Land present.

Wang Sheng didn’t care about what others thought; once the matter was concluded, he needed to achieve his goal: “Yuanhua, it’s time to fulfill your promise!”

A Saint Emperor from the Shattered Star Sacred Land wanted to say something, but Yuanhua interrupted, “Give it to him.”

The Space Ring was still floating in the void.

And the Oath Ring was in Hong Yun’s hands.

Upon hearing the command, though reluctant, Hong Yun handed over the Oath Ring and threw it to Wang Sheng.

Receiving it, Wang Sheng said, “Since you’ve also kept your promise, I will not disturb you further. I thank you for the Secret Treasure, and if we are ever foes in the future, I may spare your life.”

With the remaining Space Ring in hand, he departed immediately.

Yuanhua also did not linger, leaving with the Shattered Star Sacred Land people.

Both sides left, but the impact swiftly rippled outward.

“Yuanhua Saint Emperor compromised… Could that mysterious person also be one of the Controllers of the top five powers, the Fei Xian Star Lord?”

“The Fei Xian Star Lord is female; that mysterious person is clearly male, so it’s not possible. However, it’s certain that this person’s strength does not fall short of the Fei Xian Star Lord…”

“Could it be someone from the Devouring Sect… Impossible, a Devouring Sect expert wouldn’t be so peaceful.”

“Maybe they’re a hidden powerhouse; at the node of these millennium years, many old monsters have appeared, looking for one last shot.”

No matter which theory, all believed the mysterious person’s strength was formidable, on par with the masters of the top five powers.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Yuanhua to compromise.

This made all cultivators feel the pressure.

Such a powerful figure stepping out from behind the scenes.

It indicates that great events are indeed approaching, and with one misstep, they could all fall into an abyss.

Moreover, there’s still the Shattering Stars Sacred Land, this faction that hunts Saint Emperors.

No one knew if they would be next.

To be targeted means an ordinary Saint Emperor doesn’t have much power to resist.

Thus, from top to bottom, the cultivators felt a tense atmosphere.

Especially the Saint Emperors, who were almost constantly on alert.

But all this was now unrelated to Wang Sheng.

After leaving the battlefield, Wang Sheng did not return immediately but went to where the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor had once lived.

The Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor had potential, and reaching the realm of Yuanhua, Long Yue, and others was not impossible.

Therefore, Wang Sheng attempted a resurrection, to see if he could gain a formidable subordinate.

“So this is it… the place where the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor stayed at his peak.”

For Wang Sheng now, resurrection was not too dependent on the location, but reviving a Twelfth Realm Saint Emperor still required some caution.

Time… began to flow.

Soon, Wang Sheng saw in the river of time the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor at his peak.

But just when he wanted to bear the cost and pull the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor out of the river of time, he encountered resistance.

As time descended, part of the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor’s memory was already corrected.

He knew he was dead.

He also faced his own death.

He did not wish to be resurrected.

“Unwilling, yet resigned… how peculiar.”

Wang Sheng was surprised but did not insist.

He didn’t know that during the resurrection of a Twelfth Realm Saint Emperor, memory correction would begin, but he respected the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor’s wishes.

“Then let it be so!”

He waved his hand to dispel the Power of Time.

The river of time resumed its function, restoring everything to normal.

And by this time, Wang Sheng had already left, as if nothing had happened.

As for Qiong Hua Saint Emperor?
