The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 734: Splitting the storm

No one could wield the name of an entire Royal Family other than the Royal King himself, and precisely, that was the identity of the man with the poisonous sword and dagger. He was none other than the Alchemy Sword Royal King, a direct descendant of the Seventh Emperor of the Godslayer Humankind, the Alchemy Sword Emperor.

The Alchemy Sword Emperor had controlled the Godslayer Humankind Empire before the rise of the current Golden Emperor. He had reached the absolute peak in two aspects of cultivation: his swordsmanship and alchemy, merging the weapon and profession into a battle style unique to him.

This supernatural martial style intertwined the refined artistry of swordsmanship with the arcane secrets of alchemy, focusing on the creation and utilization of various toxins and poisons that could be flawlessly deployed through sword skills.

As one becomes stronger and rises in the cultivation ranks, their immune system becomes more refined and powerful, making poisons and similar techniques less effective.

For thousands of years, many across Aether believed no poison or toxin could generate a lasting impact on those who reached the Peak Divine Ascension Realm. However, the Alchemy Sword Emperor proved otherwise.

Despite not being overwhelmingly strong and only able to inflict superficial cuts with his swordsmanship, the poisons the Alchemy Sword Emperor could create with his alchemy could inflict crippling wounds in the bodies of True Titans and True Gods.

Even surviving a clash with the Alchemy Sword Emperor meant spending hundreds, if not thousands of years, trying to expel the poison from your body. Otherwise, it would consume your flesh, blood, vitality, and energy until nothing was left.

Such a venomous battle style was why, before ascending as Emperor, the man was known as the Venomous Blade Alchemist, feared by all across Aether.

Since his departure was less than a thousand years ago, the teachings and inheritance of the Alchemy Sword Emperor were still fresh within the Alchemy Sword Royal Family, making them one of the strongest forces in the entire Godslayer Humankind Empire.

Yet, despite understanding the enemyʼs immense power, the Collapsing Lightning Duke and First Collapsing Lightning Pillar stared at the Alchemy Sword King without an ounce of fear. The same could be said for the eighteen Divine Ascension Masters behind them.

Having faced the Blood King, a monstrous entity with an immortal body, why would they fear a man who would die after his heart was destroyed?

”The Scarlet Alliance recognizes no authority other than that of the Scarlet King!”

The Collapsing Lightning Dukeʼs voice echoed across the sky, and the light in the eyes of the Divine Ascension Masters around him burst as it was set ablaze, showing pure determination.

A flash of shock and trepidation appeared in the eyes of the Alchemy Sword King and the rest of the Divine Ascension Masters sent by the Imperial Court, as those words could only be interpreted as the Collapsing Lightning Duke rebelling against the Godslayer Humankind Empire.

The Alchemy Sword Kingʼs task was to test the determination and power of the Scarlet Alliance, and he initially thought they would be cautious in their actions. Yet, it was clear they had already decided on their path and burned all other bridges.

The Collapsing Lightning Duke, First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, and every warrior in the force were ready to follow the Scarlet King to the gates of hell and beyond, taking down any enemy that might arise.

Sharpness appeared in the eyes of the Alchemy Sword King as a green flame appeared in them, and he unsheathed his sword and dagger. Both were Peak Adamantium Artifacts, and he bound the poisonʼs essence to the metal through alchemical transmutation, ensuring that its lethal effects could not be easily removed or countered.

And that was not all. A toxic ethereal force began to flow through the sword and dagger as the Alchemy Sword King unleashed the full power of his Ego Wave. Although he was an Astral Cultivator who lacked domain over the Laws, he trained under the tutelage of the Alchemy Sword Emperor during his youth and was able to master the Poison Concept!

The woman beside him also unsheathed both daggers and readied all her power. She was a Titan but was confident in her chances against the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, as her poison techniques were no less potent than those of the Alchemy Sword King.

Seeing that the leaders had drawn their weapons, the thirteen Divine Ascension Masters also let their energy explode. Although outnumbered, they had been sent by the Imperial Court due to their loyalty and were ready to fight!

The Collapsing Lightning Dukeʼs eyes turned cold as he focused on the Alchemy Sword King. He had been commanded to besiege the Azure Royal State and personally did not want to start a fight so soon. However, regardless of their strength, he was prepared to fight if the other party sought to expel them.

”Be careful of that womanʼs daggers. You have already received a 21 Revolution Refinement, and it is too complicated for our King to heal you again.”

”I understand. I will focus on defense and create a safe opening before striking.”

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar nodded to the Sector Dukeʼs words as he grabbed one of the Space Swords and made his energy explode, generating a ferocious sword force that grew even stronger as the power of his Concept burst through it.

Both parties unleashed their power, causing storm clouds to cover the sky due to the immense amount of energy flooding the air.

”RUMBLE!”

Just as the Collapsing Lightning Duke and Alchemy Sword King were about to charge at each other, a powerful aura appeared in the sky of the Azure Royal State, splitting the storm clouds apart.

The warriors on both sides immediately looked to the sky, and what they saw was a young man with a red robe holding the broken bodies of the Chimera King in his left hand and the Unbreakable King in his right.
