Chapter 375: Chapter 335: Sword Comes

In the Imperial Capital, many uninformed ordinary people felt the tremors beneath their feet and their first reaction was:

“Earth… is this an earthquake?”

However, any resident of the Imperial Capital, just thinking a little, would realize that this was impossible.

The mighty Grand Array of the Imperial Capital protects the entire city.

Even if an earthquake really occurred, the array would certainly activate immediately.

Little did they know, it was actually the Grand Array that was malfunctioning!

After the National Guardian Sword broke out of the ground, it instantly turned into a streak of flowing light.

Its speed was so fast that the people of the Imperial Capital could not even see what flew by.

The tremendous sound echoed throughout the city, with a stunning momentum.

Meanwhile, in the Cultivation Hall, Ming Xuanji, sitting on the high platform, immediately noticed something amiss.

“Something’s wrong with the Grand Array!”

The old State Preceptor, whose eyes were hollow, stood up immediately, showing a terrified expression!

He was naturally the quickest to notice the anomaly of the Imperial Capital’s Grand Array, as he had fused himself with it.

Everyone first glanced at him with surprise, and then Xiahou Yue and others immediately changed their expressions.

“Why is the National Guardian Sword flying over here!”

As the core eye of the array, why would it suddenly head this way!

Interestingly, their first thought was that the National Guardian Sword was summoned by the Ancestor Emperor.

This founding emperor of the Moon Country practiced Gun and Sword Dual Cultivation.

The Imperial Moon Spear obtained by Qin Xuexiao, was the lifebound object of the Ancestor Emperor centuries ago.

Though the National Guardian Sword was not the Ancestor Emperor’s lifebound magical treasure, it was always carried by him and was a Super Grade Spirit Sword!

Later, the Ancestor Emperor collaborated with three Array Grandmasters of the Moon Country’s antiquity, spending greatly to create the Imperial Capital’s Grand Array, placing this sword within it, serving as the core eye.

This made the sword transcend the bounds of ordinary Super Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Nonetheless, the sword originally belonged to the Ancestor Emperor.

Therefore, if the Ancestor Emperor possessed Qin Xuexiao and could directly summon this sword, it would be rational.

However, what followed was simply unbelievable.

A streak of flowing light broke through the sky, rushing towards the platform of the Martial Arts Arena at extreme speed.

Yet, the person to receive the sword was not the Ancestor Emperor.

This Divine Sword named “National Guardian” fell steadily into the hands of Chu Huaixu.

…

…

“What is happening!!”

On the high platform, His Majesty the Moon Emperor’s pupils trembled involuntarily, filled with disbelief.

The National Guardian Sword of our Moon Country broke through the air, without finding our ancestor, but instead… landed in the hands of this young man?

At this moment, beneath the platform, the lifebound swords in the hands of those sword cultivators continued to emit sword cries, with their bodies relentlessly trembling.

Chu Huaixu’s sudden breakthrough of his Sword Heart already made these great cultivators feel shocked.

In such a deadly duel, he suddenly had an epiphany?

A single leap to the Realm of Great Success of Sword Heart?

Hadn’t he just broken through once two months ago!

Since when did the elevation in Sword Heart realm become so easy?

As for the phenomena that ensued, they were not too surprised.

Because when he previously broke through to the Minor Success realm, it already caused a significant commotion in the Cultivation Hall.

Only judging by the scale of the phenomena, this time it was undoubtedly a complete upgrade.

The range of impact became broader, and the reactions of these spirit swords became more intense.

No one knew why Chu Huaixu’s Sword Heart was so special.

How could there be someone in the world whose presence makes others’ lifebound swords submit?

How could this even be a thing!

However, this could not influence the outcome of this deadly duel.

Everyone was aware, even if Chu Huaixu’s Sword Heart advanced by a realm, it merely allowed him to last longer.

He would only lose later, that’s all.

His opponent was the Ancestor Emperor, who was absorbing an immense Power of Fortune!

Not to mention achieving Great Success of Sword Heart.

In the eyes of these individuals, even if Chu Huaixu’s second Sword Heart also ascended to the Realm of Sword Heart Clarity, he would not escape death today!

There was no help for it; his cultivation remained at the Third Realm.

No matter how high ranking other powers might be, they would inevitably be dragged down by this paltry Third Realm.

But how did he manage to summon the National Guardian Sword!?

Especially under the gaze of its true former master!

With the long sword in hand, Chu Huaixu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“The Dao Ancestor surely wouldn’t trick me,” he thought.

It seemed that everything simulated within the Daoist Ancestor Secret Realm was grounded in actual circumstances.

Under normal conditions, Chu Huaixu would not be able to summon the National Guardian Sword.

Moreover, the sword was so far from the Cultivation Hall, that his divine sense could not cover such a distance…

This was also why, despite having ample experience points, he chose to upgrade his Sword Heart during the duel rather than elevating the realm during the three-day preparation period.

All for the Heaven and Earth phenomena of this moment!

When he broke through to the Minor Success realm, he could already induce phenomena and faintly sense the existence of the National Guardian Sword.

Thus, with today’s breakthrough to Great Success, this perception would surely become clearer!

For him, a Swordless without a lifebound sword of his own, as long as he felt it, he could borrow it!

No sword of his own? No problem, borrowed from others!

I’ll use your former sword to kill you!!

This National Guardian Sword, its blade slightly longer and wider than an ordinary three-foot azure blade.

Its blade engraved with deep purple patterns.

On the hilt, an embedded dark purple gemstone.

Of course, most importantly, it contained an extremely majestic Power of Fortune!

The power of the Imperial Capital’s Grand Array largely relied on the country’s fortune.

As the core eye of the array, a sword even named National Guardian would surely carry abundant fortunes, being one of the carriers of the nation’s fortune.

“Now, I also hold the Moon Country’s fortune in my hands!”

Among everyone present, for whom did the sudden arrival of the National Guardian Sword bring the most shock, the most disbelief? It was unquestionably none other than the Ancestor Emperor.

He never anticipated that the sword he personally placed within the array centuries ago would fly out now, landing in the hand of the damned Chu Huaixu!

How could there exist such an absurd Sword Heart?

The Ancestor Emperor plunged into endless fury instantly.

The scene before him was, beyond doubt, a form of humiliation.

Though this was not his former lifebound object, it was still his beloved sword!

My beloved sword, now in this thief’s hand!

“Audacious!!!” The Ancestor Emperor bellowed, levitating in the air.

His voice rolled like thunder, shaking eardrums painfully.

How ever slightly playing a gamer’s mindset, Chu Huaixu didn’t hold much reverence for a feudal sovereign, instead, his thoughts ascended to:

“Haha, he’s panicking, he’s panicking!”

With eyes lowered, staring at him, the Ancestor Emperor was in no hurry to strike.

He stated coldly, “You dare to wield this sword!”

How Chu Huaixu summoned the sword remained unknown to him.

Moreover, the sword was emitting sword cries, akin to the surrounding spirit swords in the hands of sword cultivators, submitting to this young man!

However, I am its true master!

With me here, you wish to wield it?

The phenomena you evoked will surely have a time limit.

This phenomena undoubtedly relates to his Power of Origin within.

But it certainly would not last long.

Once the phenomena ceases, the surrounding spirit swords and the National Guardian Sword would return to normal.

Then, since you summoned the sword, I shall use it to chop off your mangy head!

Things unfolded as the Ancestor Emperor predicted.

The phenomena ceased shortly thereafter.

Almost right after his words ended, the commotion caused by the Sword Heart breakthrough utterly calmed down.

All sword sounds around halted altogether.

Prior, these spirit swords acted wildly as if publicly rebelling against their masters.

But now, they all calmed down, expressing loyalty to their masters with whom they were heart-to-heart connected.

The Ancestor Emperor’s face flashed a cold smile.

“Come!” He raised his left hand, casting a Sword Formula, then pointed toward the National Guardian Sword in Chu Huaixu’s hand.

Yet, the sword remained motionless, firmly held by the young man.

The reason was simple.

The moment the National Guardian Sword came into his hand, the Heart Sword within Chu Huaixu left his body, entering this sword!
