Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension-Chapter 244: History Of The Sword God, Blade Saint Joins The Battle
Demon Lord Nine Calamities heaved a sigh of relief as if he felt a massive burden had been lifted up from his shoulders as his Divine Sense checked out the dumbfounded expressions of the demonic cultivators and the frustration on the Wrathful Asura King’s face.
Qing Yunzi, the Sword God, was an old friend of his before he became a demonic cultivator.
They had countless confrontations with each other after that, yet the Sword God almost always bested him, sparing his life again and again just for the sake of their past brotherhood.
The Sword God even fought against the Wrathful Asura King once, and had it not been for a Dharma Artifact the Asura King used at that time, the latter might have died by the former’s blade. With the Dharma Artifact, the Asura King was able to overpower the Sword God and even managed to severely injure him.
They were only at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm at that time, and after that, all traces of the Sword God disappeared from the face of the entire world, as if he had vanished into non-existence, leaving behind only a single legacy, a Sword Sect which was the ruling force of the Qingyun Region.
It had been hundreds of thousands of years since then.
Generations of cultivators had passed, and the existence of the Sword God had gradually diminished from the eyes of the world, while those of the older generation believed that the Sword God had probably passed away in seclusion, being unable to breakthrough to a higher realm.
Hundreds of thousands of years was an extremely long period of time, and Tribulation Transcendence Realm or even the Immortal Ascension Realm could fall after so many millennia.
Unexpectedly, that wasn’t so true.
Not only did the Sword God not die, his cultivation even advanced further, becoming a Human Immortal!
That too at the peak of the Late Stage of Half Immortal Realm, a step away from attaining perfection!
"I thought you had long since died and your body had rotted away, but it looks like I was wrong, Sword God Qing Yunzi!"
The Wrathful Asura King shouted in a loud voice as he laughed angrily, glaring at the figure of the Sword God with a gaze as cold as ice.
"You were wrong indeed, Asura King. Did you seriously think I would die sitting in my cave abode, cultivating in seclusion?"
The Sword God’s laughter rang out from the skies above as he taunted the Wrathful Asura King, sword light shimmering in his eyes and multiple beams of Sword Qi formed around him.
*Whoosh!*
The next moment, all beams of Sword Qi shot out at lightning fast speed, aimed at the Late Stage Half Immortals by the Wrathful Asura King’s side.
Seeing the Sword Qi beams approaching them, all of them immediately got on guard and put up their defenses, using various defensive techniques and Dharma Artifacts.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
The Sword Qi beams collided with their defenses, crashing down like meteors from space, crushing through all the defenses in a matter of seconds as all of those struck were blown away, throwing up blood and having their limbs torn off by the massive impact.
The Wrathful Asura King was stunned for a moment upon watching this scene, looking up at the Sword God with a furious expression on his face.
"No need to look at me like that, Asura King. Right now, I’m the strongest Late Stage Human Immortal in the world, only a slight push away from the Grand Completion Stage and becoming one of the strongest beings under the Immortal Gods. It’s no wonder all of your minions will lose to me like the ants they are."
The Sword God said with a smile as he finally came besides Demon Lord Nine Calamities, helping him up with a burst of Spiritual Energy.
"Both of us, no matter how strong, are still only at the Late Stage of Half Immortal Realm. We have to face not just those other Late Stage Half Immortals, but also the two Perfected Half Immortals from their side. I can at most fight against Titan Feng Yun with the Divine Mace of Heavenly Destruction, and you can fend off the other Late Stage Half Immortals and prevent them from intervening. But what about the Wrathful Asura King? I don’t think anyone else besides the current two supreme beings of the Mortal World on the same level as the Asura King can fight on par with and defeat him."
Demon Lord Nine Calamities said with a solemn tone of voice, his gaze fixated on the figure of the Wrathful Asura King.
Hearing his words, the Sword God went silent for an instant before he remembered something.
"Hm? Oh yes, one of them is the current Saint Master of Kunlun Divine Mountain, the Nine Extremities Sword Celestial, right? He was the one who sent a messenger at my place of seclusion to inform me of the outside world’s situation. It’s hard to believe that kid from back then is now considered the known strongest being in the world. Had he not interrupted me, I would’ve broken through to the Perfection Stage in a few more hundred years. Sigh, time really flies when you’re cultivating..."
"Cut it out already. It’s no time to be reminiscing about the past. Focus on the situation at hand. Did the Saint Master say anything else?"
Demon Lord Nine Calamities said in an impatient tone of voice, cutting off the Sword God.
"Well...no. it seems even he didn’t expect the Asura King to be hiding another Perfected Half Immortal by his side. Though he may have not said anything, I still brought reinforcement on the way here."
The Sword God replied, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.
"What are you talking about? Who came with you? It couldn’t be another Perfected Half Immortal, could it? But you should know that even normal Perfected Half Immortals will have a hard time going against the Wrathful Asura King. He still has that Dharma Artifact which severely injured you back then, and it’s even been upgraded to Rank-10 now."
Demon Lord Nine Calamities said quietly, his tone of voice tinged with a hint of worry.
"You worry too much, old friend. Though I do wonder, if that fellow really can deal with the Wrathful Asura King...only one way to find out."
As he spoke, the Sword God’s gaze shifted towards the direction of the Wrathful Asura King. However, he wasn’t looking at the Wrathful Asura King himself, but behind him.
*Swoosh!*
The sound of a sword cutting through the wind echoed, coming closer with each passing second, with occasional sonic booms echoing in the distance.
At the same time, an extremely powerful presence approached from afar, causing the hearts of all the Late Stage Half Immortals from the demonic path, including Demon Lord Nine Calamities, to palpitate, as if a great existence was approaching them, and they had no chance of resisting.
"Th-this presence...!?"
The Fiendish Sword Supreme couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, sweat forming on his forehead as he looked behind the Wrathful Asura King as well.
The Wrathful Asura King, on the other hand, was also stunned as he felt the familiar presence inching closer with each passing microsecond.
"It couldn’t be..."
He couldn’t help but say to himself, his eyes bulging from anger as he slowly turned around to face the direction of the overwhelming presence.
Sensing this familiar yet terrifying aura, Demon Lord Nine Calamities was bewildered for a moment before he turned to look at the Sword God, asking in a quiet voice, unable to hide the slight expectation within.
"Who the hell did you bring with yourself?"
"Hmm, is he the other one of the two supreme beings you mentioned who could go toe to toe against the Asura King? I wonder if that’s true."
The Sword God said with a slight chuckle, a beam of Sword Qi forming besides him.
*Swoosh!*
*Boom!*
The Sword Qi beam instantly tore through the void and appeared right behind the Heaven Despising Monk, who was about to launch a secret attack on the two of them as it slashed down ferociously, causing waves to surface over thr Pristine Waters and the Heaven Despising Monk to quickly form a barrier of Spiritual Energy using a special technique to protect himself.
"These fellows are getting impatient. I guess we should get moving as well."
The Sword God said as he raised his hand, the space around it cracking before a shining sword with a yellow blade emerged from the spacial crack, resting in his palm.
"You handle that Titan, I’ll handle these little folks and then come to aid you. As for the Asura King, leave him to that fellow."
As soon as he said this, the Sword God disappeared from his original spot without making even the slightest disturbance in the surroundings.

Demon Lord Nine Calamities let out a sigh as he looked at Titan Feng Yun, the Divine Mace swinging casually in his hand.
On the Wrathful Asura King’s side, the presence finally closed in as a figure appeared amidst the dark clouds, a thin ray of sunlight shining brightly on him, revealing a pair of cold violet eyes which stared down at the Wrathful Asura King.
"It would be a lie to say I never expected this, but I guess I was still careless."
The Wrathful Asura King said as he spread all four of his arms, looking up at the figure obscured by sunlight.
"Come on then, show me how powerful you truly are, the Blade Saint!"
