Chapter 1354 - One Sword to Destroy All Things 

Just as he expected, the King of Destruction had come. 

A pale white aura that seemed like bone chips spilled out of the space portal, and a bright red light that resembled freshly spilled blood circulated around as the King of Destruction's black and gold metallic figure emerged from the space portal like a machine battle pet. 

He was a freak that was born and built to battle and destroy everything in sight. 

This time, his true form had completely descended upon the world, so his figure had become even more visible. Everyone could clearly see that his large figure was like an ancient tyrannosaurus and his front limbs were like the death god's scythe. His body was completely made of bones and covered with deathly white sharp bone spurs that stuck out like blades of death and made him look like a killing machine. 

It gave off an aura that was violent, cruel, murderous, and bloodthirsty, and his eyes were like two pools of blood in the darkness. It could stir up the power of death as it breathed, and as his aura brushed past these planets, the planets would instantly turn deathly pale and be sapped of all life. Not a single trace of life could be detected from them after his aura had brushed past them. 

"I am here," he said. 

His voice sounded like two pieces of decaying bones rubbing against each other, and it was completely devoid of life. 

Frantic and violent energy waves exploded from his eyes and swept across the boundless skies like a tempest as he made his intent clear. 

Ye Qingyu exerted his [Eyes of the Void] and looked straight at this King of Sovereigns who grasped a destructive and deathly power in his hand. 

The King of Destruction had appeared in the Vast Thousand Star Domains in the past and he had merely been a projection, but his appearance had caused the Divine Light Emperor to be under immense pressure. Later on, he was driven away by the Emperor of Azeroth, Alexander Sun Fei. 

Ye Qingyu had been expecting the King of Destruction to show up, so there was no trace of surprise or panic on his face. 

He had already expected this old enemy to make a second appearance even before the final battle had begun. 

The only thing he couldn't be sure of was if there was anyone else other than the Abandoned Fiendgod and the King of Destruction lurking in the darkness. If there were other Kings of Sovereigns waiting for their chance to pounce, this would be trickier than he expected. 

"Let me end this worm's useless struggle." 

The King of Destruction's energy swept toward them like a tempest and it instantly reached within one hundred meters of Ye Qingyu. He slashed out with his scythe-like bony arm and tore the void of the universe as easily as though it was made of paper. 

Ye Qingyu's expression didn't change as his fingers shot out like swords and a mercurial silver glow circulated around his arms. A mighty beam of sword will burst out from his swords as he countered with an attack of his own. 

Clink! 

There was a soft metallic clang as the King of Destruction's bony arm clashed with Ye Qingyu's sword before the sound disappeared. 

The two supremely powerful figures trembled slightly and their figures blurred at the same time. 

Then, a series of clinking sounds rang out wildly before everything went silent, as though stormy tempests had swept by. 

The figures of Ye Qingyu and the King of Destruction disappeared in space, and only two shadows could be seen rapidly pursuing and clashing with each other. The speed and reaction time of these two Kings of Sovereigns defied all logic. Wen Wan, Little Nine, and the rest of the Martial Emperors could not even follow their movements with their naked eyes nor their divine senses. The resulting sounds from their clashes had a severe lag time and their outlines that were silhouetted by the light were merely afterimages. The images that the others saw were faint images that were left behind after those two supremely powerful figures had clashed several breaths ago. 

Several breaths later— 

Those two terrifying figures paused for a moment and their figures became more distinct. 

Ye Qingyu looked down at his right arm and the silver light blinked rapidly. Then, with a loud bang, his right arm exploded into a cloud of smoke and completely vanished. 

The Six Divine Generals, including Wen Wan and the others, couldn't help exclaiming in shock. 

Before the sounds of their shocked cries had died off, something strange happened at the same moment. The King of Destruction's bony arm, which was like a scythe of the death god, had been refined over countless years, killed countless powerful opponents, and had always brought him success in battle, suddenly broke apart like glass shards with a loud clinking sound. It turned into wisps of white destructive mist as it dissipated into the void. 

They were evenly matched after the first round of clashes. 

"You are indeed powerful," the King of Destruction said. He looked at Ye Qingyu with his eyes that were like pools of blood. His voice sounded like muffled ancient notes, and his mental power swept across the void like a tempest as he said, "I'm pleased to see that someone has finally managed to destroy my deathly scythes. Now, I'll be able to advance even further." 

Strangely, the King of Destruction's broken bony arm reappeared once again. 

He was like a cicada sloughing off its skin, and his bony flesh squirmed as a brand new deathly pale bony arm replaced the arm that had been destroyed. From its luster and the aura it gave off, it was obvious that this new arm was much stronger than the arm that had been destroyed. This was the King of Destruction's talent and divine ability—he would evolve every time he was destroyed. Because he was so powerful now, a long, long time had passed since anyone had managed to destroy his body. Today, he was given hope that he could progress further in his evolution after Ye Qingyu had destroyed one of his arms. 

He stared at Ye Qingyu with his eyes that were like pools of blood as though he had spotted a delicious delicacy. His eyes were full of fervor and a frenzied excitement. 

When the Abandoned Fiendgod caught the expression in his eyes, he felt chills run down his spine. Based on his understanding of the King of Destruction, he knew that each time the King of Destruction looked this way, it meant that he was entering a crazed and uncontrollable state in which he would not rest until he killed his opponent. His opponent would always meet with a tragic fate. 

"Fortune snatched from heaven, the planets shall form a formation, and refine the heavens, earth, fiendgods... divine ability. [Refinement of the Void]!" 

The Abandoned Fiendgod chanted an ancient incantation and the empty space suddenly echoed in response. It seemed as though countless fiendgods had been brought back to life and were chanting along with him. Countless long, black and white whips formed by the chains of order circled around the Abandoned Fiendgod as though they were divine dragons and shot into space like vines that grew rapidly. 

He had employed his old technique again and the long whips stretched into the boundless depths of space, wrapped themselves around numerous desolate planets, and instantly refined them into weapons that exuded auras of different elemental properties. Then, these long whips dragged these planets to take their positions and formed a terrifying formation that blocked out everything. He had completely sealed off the battlefield. 

The boundless and endless power of the universe was absorbed and activated by this formation and pressed down on Ye Qingyu invisibly. 

The Abandoned Fiendgod did not choose to stand idly by, but instead, he chose to join forces with the King of Destruction. 

Fame, reputation, and the honorific code of the martial way were not very important to those who had reached the pinnacle of the martial way. They couldn't be bothered to attack martial artists who were as puny as crickets and ants, but when they faced off against their own kind, they didn't mind joining forces to defeat the enemy if they stood to gain enough. 

Moreover, Ye Qingyu was so powerful that they felt threatened by him. 

They had to get rid of him as quickly as possible to prevent this from becoming a greater problem. 

"How despicable." 

"How could they gang up on him like that?" 

"Is this how Kings of Sovereigns should behave? What a disgrace." 

Wen Wan and the others who were safely sheltered by the [Cloud Top Cauldron] sensed that the situation was tilting away from Ye Qingyu. They were shocked and enraged when they saw the Abandoned Fiendgod join the battle and rebuked him angrily. Little Nine was so enraged that it hopped around in anger and let out an angry yell. It anxiously attempted to rush out of the [Cloud Top Cauldron's] chaotic primordial light shield but it was knocked backward by the light shield. No one could leave this place without Ye Qingyu's permission. 

Unlike them, Ye Qingyu was calm and composed. 

He ignored the oppressive force that crushed down on him from the planetary formation that the Abandoned Fiendgod had created. 

He looked at the King of Destruction's new bony arm contemplatively. 

Then, the King of Destruction looked on in shock as Ye Qingyu's right arm, which had been crushed to powder, grew back. Ye Qingyu had not drawn on his blood qi or his foundation to regrow his arm, but instead, he had used the exact same divine ability that the King of Destruction had employed earlier. 

"I'd always known that you'd come, so did you really think that I'd be completely unprepared when I faced off against you?" he said calmly. 

"You're not the only one who has mastered the power of resurrection," he said with a laugh as he looked at the King of Destruction. "I have you to thank for showing me the key to the truth of resurrection." 

He had already dabbled in the art of resurrection before he clashed with the King of Destruction and experienced success with the resurrection of Liu Shaji and the revival of the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain and Water Moon Domain. After he sensed the power of laws that emitted from the King of Destruction's newly grown arm, he suddenly understood how this resurrection power could be employed in battle. 

"I'm not sure if there are still others lurking in the dark, but since both of you have shown yourself, I shall slay you both first. Now that I think about it, our enmity has spanned millions of years, so it is time to put an end to it. Time to repay your debts.... [Fifth Limit] of the [Limitless Divine Way]!" 

Ye Qingyu's dark hair danced in the void and his aura skyrocketed. 

He was in an extremely dangerous situation, but he did not show any fear, and even attacked the King of Destruction and the Abandoned Fiendgod at the same time. 

He immediately revealed the true form of a King of Sovereigns. His figure rapidly expanded until he looked like a giant who had created the universe. Then, he gripped the Life Sword in his hands, and instantly, the Life Sword sword will circulated and flowed out of his sword to cover heaven and earth. It moved like a tangible object and swept toward the Abandoned Fiendgod and the King of Destruction. 

"How arrogant of you!" 

"You must be courting death!" 

The Abandoned Fiendgod and the King of Destruction yelled in unison. 

They felt extremely insulted by Ye Qingyu's arrogant attitude. His stance and aura made it seem as though they were forced to join forces to save themselves instead of them joining forces to kill him. 

The tables started to turn as Ye Qingyu attacked aggressively. 

The battle immediately entered a stage where they were all fighting to the death. 

As the King of Destruction immediately carved open a destructive realm, the decaying and rotten stench of death spilled out and swept across the surroundings, and his violent and negative emotions curled across the area like a tempest. The entire space seemed to have slipped into a dense fog as the King of Destruction moved like an elusive hunter in this realm. He would appear and disappear randomly, and each time he appeared, he would unleash a lethal move from a position that defied logic. Moreover, he would also create all sorts of illusions that were incredibly frightening. 

The Abandoned Fiendgod exerted his [Refinement of the Void] formation that could refine heaven, earth, and fiendgods. He activated the tides of the universe and used hundreds of planets to create a formation. Then, visible energy waves hurtled toward Ye Qingyu in huge waves. 

"[One Sword to Destroy All Things]!" 

Ye Qingyu looked like a divine king or the ancestor of demons as he held his sword in his hand. His Life Sword released a matchless power, and when he slashed out, a phantom image of the milky way appeared. Then, all divine abilities, formations, illusions, dense fog, ambush, and attacks of the spirit were slashed into two by his sword and reduced to nothingness. 

The battle had only gone on for thirty minutes, but Ye Qingyu had undoubtedly gained the upper hand. 

The power of his sword was boundless and his sword will was endless. 

His sword radiance was like the light released when the world was first created, and it destroyed the destructive realm and scattered the Abandoned Fiendgod's formation. 

"It's high noon... time for you to die," Ye Qingyu said as purple divine radiance shot out from his eyes and glinted murderously. He slashed out ruthlessly and targeted these two supreme figures. 

"Impossible. How could you possibly be so strong?" The King of Destruction was forced to retreat and a sword mark appeared on his body. 

All of the Abandoned Fiendgod's long, black and white whips had been slashed to pieces and were now like poison vipers that had been slashed apart. A mysterious light shot out from his eyes as he cried out in disbelief, "What kind of secret is contained within the Vast Thousand Star Domains to have produced such a powerful freak like yourself? You are so powerful that you can't possibly have drawn your strength from one realm alone..." 

These two supremely powerful figures felt a terrifying pressure crush down on them and felt an unprecedented danger closing in on them.
