Nine paths!
A full nine paths of dragon vein energy surged from all directions, converging behind Bu Fang. Nine dragons roared, resplendent.
Bu Fang, wielding the Emperor Sword and treading on nine dragons, was like the Divine Emperor of the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty, in control of vast lands.
The Divine Emperor of Yaoguang, who had just entered the demon sea swamp territory, trembled with imperial aura. Even the Imperial Seal at his waist emitted a dazzling light.
"Ancestor!"
The Divine Emperor's eyes flickered. "No, the capital is in danger. I will surely find reinforcements, Ancestor! Wait for me!"
In the skies near the capital of the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty, nine golden dragon veins roared to the heavens. Eight of them transformed into spectral images of the Divine Emperor, each holding an Emperor Sword. The remaining dragon vein energy flowed into Bu Fang's Emperor Sword...
"So the dragon veins were ultimately used? ...Let this general see how powerful the former overlord of the Western Hundred Cities, the fortune of eighty million years, truly is!!"
Meng Tian moved. The Qiongqi divine beast's wings unfurled, merging with Meng Tian. At this moment, the bronze sword's blade flashed with half-brown divine light and half-infinite bronze divine light. Meng Tian's eyes turned brown, his face bearing the likeness of Qiongqi.
"Boom!"
With this strike, Meng Tian drew his sword, hoping to encounter a strong opponent and have a satisfying battle.
In the void, Bu Fang's eyes roared like divine dragons, mobilizing endless dragon energy. His entire body was covered in dragon scales, like a dragon descendant. Dragon energy entered, and the Emperor Sword flickered.
"Sword of National Destiny!"
"Destroy the Heavenly Road!!"
Bu Fang, holding the Emperor Sword, let out a light cry. Behind him, a spectral image of the Divine Emperor raised his Emperor Sword and suppressed Meng Tian.
"Kill!!"
Meng Tian resisted the suppression of the imperial aura. The armor on his body erupted with endless divine light. Two torrents of energy shot from his hands, blasting towards Bu Fang.
The terrifying sword energy made the entire sky rumble. Guan Yu and Yue Yun, far away in the capital, stopped their steps, shielding their eyes from the dazzling divine light.
The collision in the void was a fierce clash between two individuals who held nothing back, like powerhouses from ancient times, striking fear into all things. Blood qi dispersed, and void energy poured out!
After dozens of breaths, the cracked void gradually healed. The spectral image of the Divine Emperor behind Bu Fang dissipated.
The bronze sword in Meng Tian's hand returned to its original appearance, and the divine light of the Qiongqi armor dimmed considerably.
"You are not simple, and this armor is even more so!"
After a long moment, Bu Fang, catching his breath, looked at Meng Tian.
"You are not bad either!! You seem unusually familiar with this thick national destiny!"
Meng Tian was puzzled. A guardian of the imperial lineage was as familiar with the national destiny of a dynasty as a Divine Emperor. Even more terrifying was his ability to mobilize dragon veins and fuse them with national destiny.
"Hehehe, don't try to test me. From now on, I will not hold back!" Bu Fang swayed the Emperor Sword in his hand, his gaze sharp as he looked at Meng Tian's eyes.
"You think too highly of yourself. I have never tested you, and I have no interest in whether you hold back or not. The sword in my hand will surely cut through your Yaoguang dragon energy!"
Meng Tian shook his head and said indifferently. He strode forward, the dimmed Qiongqi armor once again erupting with dazzling divine light. The blade of the sword in his hand split into two again, and two torrents of energy surged.
"Is that so?"
Bu Fang did not commit.
The Emperor Sword in his hand trembled again. Two spectral images of the Divine Emperor behind him raised their clenched Emperor Swords. Their eyes turned golden, and they slightly curved their lips, saying, "How many strikes can you block from me?"
"You can try!"
Meng Tian replied.
"Your armor might not be able to withstand it!"
As Bu Fang finished speaking, he instantly wielded the Emperor Sword and erupted.
The sky was filled with sword energy. A golden river of sword energy, carrying two golden dragons, manifested as two sword energies, churning within the river.
Meng Tian held the bronze sword horizontally before him, constantly mobilizing the divine power within him!
In an instant, Qiongqi roared in his eyes. The sword energy in his hand, carrying two torrents, exploded forth!
"Boom!"
With a resounding bang, the sword energy, a mixture of brown and bronze, directly tore through the golden river, shattering the two golden sword energies. The momentum of the two torrents weakened by half, and then they surged forward again.
They directly struck Bu Fang's Emperor Sword.
Boom!
Bu Fang's face turned pale, and his body retreated three miles. The Emperor Sword in his hand dimmed, and the two spectral images of the Divine Emperor behind him dissipated. The terrifying sword energy once again devoured three spectral images of the Divine Emperor.
Meng Tian came with his sword, seizing the opportunity, and attacked with a single strike. With a bang, he shattered Bu Fang's Emperor Sword and blew his right arm into a mist of blood.
His right arm shattered, his Emperor Sword disintegrated, and blood splattered in the void. Bu Fang's aura dropped from the Great Saint realm directly to the peak Saint King realm!
"You can die now!"
Meng Tian, who had shattered the Emperor Sword, roared at the distraught Bu Fang. He twirled the bronze sword in his hand and pierced towards Bu Fang's chest.
Bu Fang, whose Emperor Sword had shattered, was directly intimidated by Meng Tian. He was not even roused by the loss of his right arm, but the terrifying force approaching his heart filled his soul with dread.
He snapped back from his shock.
Boom!
Bu Fang grabbed the national destiny energy with one hand, and an Emperor Sword reappeared. A spectral image of the Divine Emperor behind him merged into his body. Empowered by the dragon veins, Bu Fang wielded his sword and engaged Meng Tian in continuous battles. Divine power clashed, and golden waves rose layer by layer.
Bang!
As another spectral image of the Divine Emperor dissipated, Meng Tian grasped the blade of the bronze sword, the edge cutting his palm. Drops of essence blood fused into the bronze sword. The Qiongqi divine beast spread its wings and roared at the sky. With less than one-fifth of the blade remaining, Meng Tian held it tightly, shortening his attack. With a close-range thrust, he plunged it directly into Bu Fang's forehead.
Crack!
The bone in his forehead cracked. A trace of bronze divine light entered Bu Fang's soul sea. A tragic wail followed, then the collapse of the dragon veins and the scattering of the national destiny energy.
Meng Tian released his right hand, and the bronze sword shot out like lightning, shattering Bu Fang's head.
Rumble!
The national destiny energy of the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty collapsed. Countless spiritual materials and precious medicines rapidly decayed, and thousands of miles of land caved in.
Where the dragon veins were once hidden, now only an invisible chasm remained!
Meng Tian, holding the bronze sword, appeared above the capital. Countless beings gazed at the anomaly in the sky and knew that Bu Fang, the guardian of the Yaoguang imperial lineage, had fallen.
The Yaoguang Divine Dynasty, once the most dazzling power in the Western Hundred Cities, was ultimately swept away by the wheels of history!
"Boom!"
The speeding Yaoguang Divine Emperor's face instantly turned pale, and his body felt weak. Suddenly, the Imperial Seal at his waist erupted with brilliant divine light and then turned to dust, vanishing completely.
