Chapter 2325 - Apex Battle! (1/2)

Heaven opened a hand, and a greenish-black Halo of Spacetime with a radius of ten-some li appeared, enclosing even that giant fissure in the sky.

“A spacetime seal!”

Luo Supreme’s heart shivered in apprehension.

For Grotto Heaven realm experts, spacetime was like the water or air, while they were fish or birds, and they could easily navigate its depths. But when Heaven’s greenish-black Halo of Spacetime appeared, Luo Supreme felt like his body was suddenly burdened with numerous invisible shackles, and even his Grotto Heaven Core was bound.

Heaven had already sealed their ability to use spacetime energy to flee.

“It’s over!”

As that divine lightning descended, Luo Supreme turned ghastly pale. At the same time, Wang Chong felt a suffocating sense of danger.

But despite this, Wang Chong was still brimming with fighting intent, fearless and refusing to give ground.

Buzz!

Wang Chong’s dantian trembled as Stellar Energy rumbled out. But just when Wang Chong readied himself to fight with his back to the water, he felt a strange searing sensation from his bosom.

Wang Chong wasn’t concerned about it at first, but when he realized its source, he was taken aback.

The Xuanyuan Sword!

Wang Chong’s heart thumped in surprise. The Xuanyuan Sword hanging from his waist, also known as the Origin Immortal Sword that the Origin Immortal Lord had gifted him, seemed to have a life of its own. Without Wang Chong’s prompting, it was beginning to crackle with dazzling lightning.

What was most interesting was that when Wang Chong gripped the Xuanyuan Sword, he sensed that the sword was somehow resonating with the divine lighting Heaven had unleashed, as if they shared some connection.

The Xuanyuan Sword had the ability to control lightning, but in the past, Wang Chong had only ever borrowed natural lightning, not this artificial divine lightning. There was a large difference between the two, but from the Xuanyuan Sword’s reaction, could it be…

Wang Chong had just had an idea when there was a shift on the battlefield.

Kacrack!

In a flash, that dense deluge of lightning suddenly changed directions and began to converge on Wang Chong.

Bang!

Before Wang Chong could react, the divine lightning accelerated and merged into the Xuanyuan Sword, the two of them becoming one.

This wasn’t Wang Chong’s first time receiving lightning, but the sensation this time was completely different.

Each of Heaven’s bolts of divine lightning was infused with mountain-shattering power, but at this moment, Wang Chong could tell that this divine lightning was not striking the Xuanyuan Sword. On the contrary, it seemed tamed by the sword.

Wang Chong could even sense that he could turn this divine lightning around and use it to attack Heaven. This development was simply unimaginable.

“What is going on here?”

Wang Chong was stunned.

The Xuanyuan Sword was strong, but he did not recall it having this power or ability. Moreover, Little Nightmare had said before that the Xuanyuan Sword was sealed!

“Little Grass’s sword has been unleashed!” As if in response to Wang Chong’s thought, the Nightmare Beast’s voice rang out in Wang Chong’s mind.

The Nightmare Beast had lost almost all its power, but its memories and senses remained.

“This is the true appearance of Little Grass’s sword!”

Wang Chong glanced at the sword and discovered that after being tempered by lightning, the Xuanyuan Sword had transformed.

Rays of light were radiating from the slender blade, and each ray of light had mysterious characters surrounded by thunderclouds.

Within the Xuanyuan Sword, a seal shattered like glass, and a storm of energy burst out. Within it, Wang Chong could sense the power of lightning.

“This is the true appearance of the Xuanyuan Sword?!”

Wang Chong was astonished. If he were not seeing it with his own eyes, he would have found it very hard to believe that this sword was the Yellow Emperor’s personal sword, perhaps even the sword he had used to defeat Chiyou in the Battle of Zhuolu.

But such a powerful sword was not mentioned in any text, as if its existence had been intentionally concealed.

Buzz!

Wang Chong waved his sword, and the divine lightning was drawn away, all of it missing him. Wang Chong was even able to take half of the lightning to serve as energy for the sword.

“It’s that sword! To think it would end up in his hands!”

Heaven’s eyes flew open. He instantly recognized the Xuanyuan Sword and realized what it was.

“I didn’t think that he would actually give it to him.”
