Transcending the Nine Heavens

Raising his head and looking at Chu Yang's complex gaze, the Law Sovereign smiled wryly: “There’s no need to doubt. Even if I were to battle you to the death, the outcome would likely be the same. Your move has truly surpassed the power of heaven and earth, and I absolutely cannot withstand it. Therefore, there’s no intention of me letting you win.”

Chu Yang silently nodded and said, “I understand.”

Chu Yang could clearly sense that at that moment, the Law Sovereign was indeed completely overwhelmed by his sword intent, with life and death hanging by a thread in his mind.

It was a subtle feeling of having total control over the battlefield and the victory, which could not be feigned.

“I have to say, my boss has never unleashed such a move. Yet I can feel that this is the true power of the Nine Calamity Sword, its ultimate power.”

The Law Sovereign smiled appreciatively: “The Nine Calamity Sword from my time was merely a sword; a blade sharp enough to be unresistable. But today’s move has transcended the original boundaries of the Nine Calamity Sword.”

“I’m very happy to see this move in the world; truly, I am very happy,” the Law Sovereign said warmly, looking at the Nine Calamity Sword at his heart, filled with genuine fondness and endless nostalgia.

“Yes, I hadn’t expected that the Nine Calamity Sword would undergo such changes,” Chu Yang said honestly. “But I can feel that even that move just now may not be the ultimate move of the Nine Calamity Sword. I believe there’s still limitless room for development and progress.”

“Indeed, the path of the Nine Calamity Sword can be endless. Moreover, every move of the Nine Calamity Sword contains a world,” the Law Sovereign smiled and said. “Although this is my personal feeling, I believe it is very close to the truth. In fact, the true power of each move of the Nine Calamity Sword may far exceed the so-called strongest strike you just unleashed.”

He cheekily blinked his eyes and even cracked a joke: “You must understand, I’m dying now; and someone on the brink of death has a very keen and accurate perception. They can see things that the living cannot. But don’t ask me how I know, I only know its existence but not its reasoning.”

Chu Yang smiled wryly and said, “If you had known earlier… could today have been avoided?”

“No!” the Law Sovereign stated seriously. “Even if I had known a thousand years ago, today’s battle would still have been unavoidable.”

Chu Yang fell silent.

“Don’t be sad for me; I’m very happy right now! My heart is filled with joy! Do you know what makes me so happy!?” The Law Sovereign looked towards the void. Although death was imminent, his face was filled with excitement, showing no hint of pretense.

“What makes you happy?” Chu Yang was indeed somewhat surprised by the Law Sovereign’s attitude. At this moment, whether in remorse, regret, anger, even in comfort or indifference, Chu Yang wouldn’t have been too shocked. But the Law Sovereign was in a state of extreme joy, which seemed too illogical!

“I’m happy that everyone is here to welcome me,” the Law Sovereign laughed heartily, pointing around him, his face warm. “My father, my mother, my grandfather… my comrades who battled alongside me… and all the enemies I have killed; they are all here with me. Then I realized: that world truly exists. It is real and unfalse.”

Chu Yang’s eyes widened: “Then did you see…”

The Law Sovereign laughed heartily: “And then I realized that in this world, there is no such thing as complete destruction of the spirit or irreversible calamity. Even if completely burned, the last traces of the soul will transform into the purest life force… Perhaps one may not remember everything from their past life, but they will never truly disappear; they simply forget, not completely abandon…”

“Over there, even Night and the others have come to watch me,” the Law Sovereign smiled and pointed to one side. “What makes me truly happiest is that I didn’t see my elder brother or my eight brothers.”
