Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5884: Intense Battle

It seems he’s not needed anymore!

Jian Wushuang concealed himself in the depths of the void, where no one could find him.

Only the strong from the outside world could perceive his presence.

This was due to the formation array; once the array was broken by the Divine Wood King, he could leave without much hindrance, even if Eighth Tribulation realm experts came.

Currently, Gula’s divine power had stabilized at 1.45 million.

When he just transformed, it was only 1.3 million.

Now, he was growing stronger with each battle.

The three of them fought relentlessly, reaching a point of complete immersion.

Each bore numerous wounds.

“Haha, he can’t hold on any longer!” Wu Li’s three-foot sword, with a chaotic slash, directly cleaved Gula’s body in half.

Elder Blu pursued the upper body while Wu Li pursued the lower.

The two of them coordinated their attacks seamlessly.

Wu Li’s swordsmanship became increasingly exquisite, and his divine power remained stable, thanks to Danbao.

With the healing from Danbao, Wu Li wasn’t afraid of backlash, experiencing the might of a million divine powers.

Yet, as he continued to battle, he found that the external divine power was also being absorbed by him continuously.

Although he was still in the Fifth Tribulation realm, his divine power had reached an astonishing million.

Combined with the divine power injected by the tree people, his divine power could now maintain at over 1.3 million, reaching the power of a Seventh Tribulation realm.

Below them, in the pitch-black abyss, there was still a figure.

Jian Wushuang spotted the figure and swiftly moved behind them.

“Brother Li Sheng!”

The figure was indeed Li Sheng.

The Empress had vanished, but her aura lingered; she must have fled.

Only Li Sheng dared to stay, knowing that regardless of the outcome, he would benefit.

He was also the most anxious observer.

Hearing Jian Wushuang’s voice startled him.

He turned around, relieved to see Jian Wushuang but immediately anxious again. “Why aren’t you helping? Gula still has some hidden cards. Seize the opportunity to deal with him!”

“Hidden cards?” Jian Wushuang was puzzled, asking, “Hasn’t he already transformed completely? What else could he have?”

If there were indeed hidden cards, why would Gula endure being surrounded by Elder Blu and Wu Li, refusing to unleash them? It had been three hours already. What kind of hidden cards could make Gula endure such a situation?

Li Sheng sighed. “This is what Kinew told me. Gula’s true strength far exceeds this. His peak divine power exceeds 1.5 million, but now it’s stuck at 1.45 million. He must be planning something or needs time to gather his breath.”

“Over 1.5 million!” Jian Wushuang raised an eyebrow, then said calmly, “No rush!”

His life force exposed, the strong from the outside world all had their eyes on him, yet he remained unruffled.

Especially facing someone like Gula.

He was still waiting for the other party to give him a surprise.

It was about the secret of the nine Dragon Balls.

Gula sought the Dragon Balls in search of a treasure trove.

He was very interested in this.

So there was no hurry to make a move.

Another reason was that he had no intention of giving up on Wanliu.

Wanliu was significant.

Its value was even greater.

In the past, when his strength was insufficient, he had to sneak in, but now that his strength

was enough, there was no reason to give up.

This was a super realm that tempted all the strong.

Having reached the Universe Master level, he needed more treasures.

To pass the Seventh Tribulation, he needed primordial stones.

He didn’t have a single one.

There were also some auxiliary treasures.

All of these needed to be gathered.

His current origin had already illuminated the first universe in the Starry Sky.

Subsequently, he needed to continue illuminating other universes.

He knew his limit, which was 100,000 black holes.

According to this scale, he needed to construct the second universe.

Until the entire spacetime was illuminated.

Even the Starry Sky.

The path was already laid out; he couldn’t just not walk it!

No matter how many people wanted to walk it, they couldn’t get out of this path.

And then there was divine power.

The skeleton of Dongjun, he had already been brewing it in the original universe.

Until now, he realized that the aura left on the skeleton of Dongjun was that of an Eighth Tribulation realm.

In the Starry Sky, the leader of the human race.

The Universe Master of the Eighth Tribulation realm.

Slain by Mie Sheng.

Speaking of which, he was still his disciple’s disciple.

This grudge also had to be settled with Mie Sheng.

Back then, he was given fish to eat.

Now he had to repay it with his own life.

It was somewhat regrettable.

He didn’t know how his disciples were doing now.

They might have fallen already!

After all, the span was too great.

Mie Sheng fell from the Starry Sky to here, and no one knew how long it had been.

But no matter how long it had been.

The divine power on the skeleton was extremely rich.

He had just merged now and felt the surging of divine power throughout his body.

In just an instant, his divine power increased by ten thousand.

The foundational divine power kept rising.

Fortunately, his divine body was extraordinary enough.

The fusion process was also quite swift.

According to the standards of absorption, only about 20 percent could be taken.

Yet, this could effortlessly allow his foundational divine power to reach a million.

And even more.

“After an hour!” Jian Wushuang sat cross-legged, addressing Li Sheng, “If you wish to leave,

I can take you to see the Empress, or wait until everything is over, and I will personally escort

you away, ensuring the eternal prosperity of the Li family!”

Li Sheng swallowed nervously, a hint of desolation in his eyes.

He hoped to hear Jian Wushuang offer him some grand opportunity.

But considering Jian Wushuang’s previous struggles for survival, he didn’t dare to expect

much.

So instead of asking, he replied calmly, “I don’t care anymore. I just want to return to my human identity and go back to Yue Kingdom to take care of my family!”

“Why?” Jian Wushuang was momentarily puzzled, then continued, “Don’t you have confidence anymore?”

Currently, Li Sheng was at the peak of the Fifth Tribulation realm.

Upon returning to Yue Kingdom, apart from the Empress, he would be the second Universe

Master.

Plus, after this Sacred Assembly, the number of Universe Masters in the entire Ancient Wood Continent had halved.

At this point, Li Sheng could join some major powers or actively enter the Ancient Wood Sect,

and he would fare quite well.

There was still hope for reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm.

“Jian Wushuang, all the opportunities I’ve had this time are all thanks to you!” Li Sheng took

a deep breath and admitted, “Without you, I might have died at the hands of Sangmo.”

Back then, at the Roman River.

The Empress left them behind.

Leaving Li Sheng as the only Fourth Tribulation Universe Master.

Without Jian Wushuang, he wouldn’t have survived.

Let alone the good luck that followed.

His subsequent fortune was also related to his transformation into a savage beast.

If he hadn’t transformed into a savage beast, how could he have survived in the Roman River?

That was a question in itself, let alone reaching the shore and encountering such

opportunities.

Seeing Li Sheng, Jian Wushuang felt like he was seeing those ordinary, mediocre Universe

Masters.

Compared to those Universe Masters, Li Sheng’s luck was indeed exceptional.

One could say he was heaven-chosen.

So many Fifth Tribulation Universe Masters had fallen, yet Li Sheng was still alive.

And he even became a Fifth Tribulation Universe Master.

“Take this, inside are pills for transforming back into a human!” Jian Wushuang tossed a mustard seed to Li Sheng as he approached.
