382: Chapter 382 Only One Sword

The sword blade was transparent like red crystal, with blood slowly flowing inside, emitting an eerie and beautiful radiance.

And those blood threads that formed the blood sword, in the process of drifting, inadvertently touched the residual energy of the Deathly Wither just released by the Skeleton Progenitor.

Then, something major happened!

"Hiss—"

Those death energies, capable of corroding space, melted the instant they touched the blood threads, just like ice and snow meeting fire!

"What?"

The Skeleton Progenitor was shocked and horrified.

Its Deathly Wither was an ultimate skill capable of corroding even space!

How could it be resolved so easily?

Without any hesitation, the Skeleton Progenitor directly used its strongest killer move.

It gripped the bone sword with both hands, and its entire skeleton erupted with blinding black light.

At the tip of the bone sword, a massive black energy sphere with a diameter exceeding fifty meters began to condense!

It was more than five times larger than the one that had just attacked Guo Xiangyang!

"Undead Scourge: World-Extinguishing Sphere!"

On the surface of the energy sphere, countless vengeful spirits wailed, and the space around it twisted and shattered.

If this strike were to land, I fear the entire Sea of Deathly Sand would be completely destroyed!

"Go to hell!"

The Skeleton Progenitor roared, slamming the World-Extinguishing Sphere fiercely toward Emilia.

Facing this world-destroying blow, Emilia only—gently raised the blood sword in her hand.

She didn't even swing the sword; she just pointed the sword tip at the incoming World-Extinguishing Sphere.

Then, those blood threads drifting in the air automatically converged in front of the sword tip, weaving into a dense, blood-colored web.

The World-Extinguishing Sphere collided with the web.

"Hum—"

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no world-destroying impact!

That black energy sphere capable of destroying everything, the moment it touched the blood-colored web, was like a punctured balloon, rapidly shrinking and dissipating!

Three seconds later, it completely disappeared.

It didn't even leave behind a trace of energy fluctuation.

The entire scene was deathly silent!

Everyone stared at this scene in dumbfounded silence, their minds completely blank.

The Skeleton Progenitor's strongest killer move was just—resolved so understatedly?

"Impossible—"

The Skeleton Progenitor's soul fire trembled violently, "This is impossible! What on earth are you?"

Emilia finally spoke.

Her voice was very soft, yet it clearly spread across the entire battlefield:

"Remember this King's name, for it is also the name of the one who will slay you!"

She raised the blood sword, pointing the tip at the Skeleton Progenitor, "Emilia!"

The moment her voice fell, she swung her sword horizontally.

The movement was simple, one could even say casual.

But it was precisely this casual sword strike that made time seem to freeze.

Everyone saw a beam of extreme blood-colored light shoot out from the sword tip.

That blood-colored light was not dazzling; on the contrary, it was very restrained, condensing into a point of light only the size of a needle tip.

The point of light flew slowly toward the Skeleton Progenitor.

The speed was very slow, so slow that everyone could clearly see its trajectory.

But the Skeleton Progenitor seemed as if it had been immobilized, unable to move.

No, it wasn't that it wasn't moving!

It was that it couldn't move!

Wherever the point of light passed, space completely solidified, and time almost stopped!

That was a power surpassing the understanding of this world, the embodiment of rules!

Finally, the point of light touched the Skeleton Progenitor's forehead.

Then, the scene froze at this second.

Everything turned into deathly silence.

There was no sound, no light, even the wind had stopped.

Time seemed to have completely solidified at this moment.

Until three seconds later.

"Crack—"

A faint cracking sound rang out.

A fine crack appeared on the Skeleton Progenitor's forehead.

The crack spread rapidly, covering its entire body in the blink of an eye.

"No—impossible—I am immortal—I am eternal—"

"Nothing is immortal!"

Emilia said softly, sheathing her sword.

The moment she sheathed her sword.

"Bang!"

The Skeleton Progenitor's body turned into spots of light filling the sky, slowly dissipating.

Along with its bone sword, its black robe, that ghostly blue soul fire—everything about it turned into nothingness!

As if it had never existed.

Only the heart-palpitating pressure remaining in the air proved that everything that had just happened was not an illusion!

Deathly silence!

Ten seconds of deathly silence!

Everyone stared blankly at the sky, at the place where the Skeleton Progenitor had disappeared, their minds completely blank.

A Tier 14 Demon Emperor, a natural disaster that once required two Tier 14 powerhouses to join forces to slay, was just—one-shotted by a single sword strike?

No, what the hell is this?

It wasn't until a while later that someone spoke with a tremble.

"Is—is it over?"

"The Skeleton Progenitor—is dead?"

"Was—was it one-shotted by a single sword?"

"My god!"

---

Exclamations rose one after another; everyone snapped out of their shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

Guo Xiangyang struggled to stand up, his Contracted Spirit Beast also hurriedly came over to help recover his injuries, the blood hole in his chest healing rapidly.

He looked at Emilia, then at Chen Yi, his eyes full of complexity.

He didn't dare to ask Emilia directly, so he could only come before Chen Yi.

"Young friend Chen Yi—"

Guo Xiangyang's voice was still a bit weak, "That Miss Emilia, what exactly is she—"

He wanted to ask, but didn't know how to ask.

If one were to say the Skeleton Progenitor was fake, they certainly wouldn't believe it.

That world-destroying pressure just now, that power that made them all despair, could absolutely not be fake.

But the real Skeleton Progenitor was one-shotted by a single sword—

What on earth was going on?

Chen Yi looked at Guo Xiangyang, then looked at the confused and awestruck gazes of the people around him, sighing inwardly.

He knew he couldn't hide it this time.

But he didn't explain much, just said indifferently:

"The final trump card."

Five words, understated.

But the information contained within them made everyone's hearts tremble.

The final trump card—

What kind of trump card could one-shot a Tier 14 Demon Emperor with a single sword?

And looking at Emilia's relaxed appearance, it was obviously far from her full strength.

This Chen Yi—how many more secrets is he hiding?

However, since Chen Yi was unwilling to say more, Guo Xiangyang couldn't press further.

Everyone has their own secrets, especially in a place like the Plane Battlefield.

He turned and solemnly bowed to Chen Yi: "Regardless, thanks to you this time! If it weren't for you, all of us—would probably have died here."

"Thank you, Brother Chen Yi!"

"The grace of saving my life, I will never forget it!"

Others also stepped forward one after another, sincerely expressing their gratitude.

They knew very well that if not for Chen Yi and Emilia today, the Sea of Deathly Sand would have been their burial ground.

Chen Yi just waved his hand: "It's nothing, slaying the Demon Emperor is our bounden duty!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone nodded one after another.

Truly a hero among the youth, to actually have such awareness.

Looking at some disciples from large families, enjoying all kinds of rare heaven and earth spiritual treasures, breaking through rapidly.

In the end, they all just stay at home, doing nothing, only knowing how to show off and pick up girls every day—

One can only say, the gap between people is just too big!
