The Sword Soul Ancestor intensely nurtured his sword, compressing a hundred years into mere months and emerging supremely confident in its power to slay even Strongest Ancestor Realms. Lu Changsheng boldly appeared at Sky City, calling out the Ancestor over the Boundary Sea and lecturing on the importance of rules amid the city's turmoil. Dismissing rules in favor of raw strength, the Sword Soul Ancestor drew his fully nurtured sword and unleashed a decisive, all-out strike against Lu Changsheng.

This slash marks the Sword Soul Ancestor's ultimate strike.

Over a hundred years honing the sword, all leading to this single blow.

For more than a century, the Sword Soul Ancestor had tempered his blade, striking only sparingly in that span.

Whenever he drew it forth, though, he cut down foes with ease.

The Sword Soul Ancestor was convinced this clash would follow the same pattern!

From within Sky City itself, countless onlookers gazed skyward at the void's sword strike, their bodies quaking with overwhelming dread.

The sheer horror of that slash was evident.

Yet facing this awe-inspiring strike, Lu Changsheng's face showed little change.

He fixed his eyes on the incoming slash.

Still, he didn't rush back into the Water Mansion.

"A hundred years of blade nurturing..."

Lu Changsheng chuckled.

"Boom."

In the instant that followed, Lu Changsheng's aura exploded outward.

From peak Ancestor Realm, he boldly shattered his limits.

A fearsome aura raged in every direction like a tempest, immense and overpowering.

Sensing Lu Changsheng's aura, the Sword Soul Ancestor's heart jolted as he stared intently at him.

Disbelief gripped him.

What did his eyes behold?

Was the power radiating from Lu Changsheng still that of a peak Ancestor Realm?

No, this was unmistakably the Strongest Ancestor Realm!

But how had Lu Changsheng reached the Strongest Ancestor Realm?

Moments ago, he'd been at peak Ancestor Realm—could he have advanced so swiftly?

In just a few short months, how was such a breakthrough possible for Lu Changsheng?

That said, Lu Changsheng's bold approach to Sky City must have stemmed from some trump card.

Earlier, the Sword Soul Ancestor had suspected a cunning scheme or an Immortal Treasure giving Lu Changsheng fearlessness.

Now, witnessing this, it appeared Lu Changsheng had indeed ascended to the Strongest Ancestor Realm, emboldening his visit to Sky City.

Yet the more certain this felt, the fiercer the Sword Soul Ancestor's killing intent burned.

With Lu Changsheng attaining the Strongest Ancestor Realm so rapidly, more time would let him solidify his realm or grow even stronger—what peril would that spell for the Sword Soul Ancestor?

Lu Changsheng's path clearly shone with promise.

His Cultivation talent outstripped the Sword Soul Ancestor's own.

Even this fresh breakthrough left Lu Changsheng at his most vulnerable in the Strongest Ancestor Realm.

The further time stretched, the mightier Lu Changsheng would grow.

At that point, the Sword Soul Ancestor would lose all opportunities.

"Even if you've reached the Strongest Ancestor Realm, die you must!"

Resolve hardened in the Sword Soul Ancestor's mind.

No regrets ever crossed his thoughts.

Having struck first with no path to retreat, he'd pay any price to slay Lu Changsheng!

Lu Changsheng's demise alone would grant the Sword Soul Ancestor true security.

"Buzz."

Between Lu Changsheng's brows on his forehead, a Divine Eye glimmered into view.

Right then, divine radiance burst from the Divine Eye.

Annihilation Divine Light!

Having embarked on the Physical Immortal Path, Lu Changsheng's body had grown vastly stronger.

Its foundation now stood at an astonishing 83%.

Such advancement was downright horrifying.

This bodily boost propelled the Annihilation Divine Light's might to new heights.

Straight to its pinnacle power.

And per the Divine Eye's innate traits.

It proved nearly unbeatable against peers.

Long ago, the Three-Eyed Clan dominated the Boundary Sea thanks to the Divine Eye.

Today, with Lu Changsheng wielding the Annihilation Divine Eye at Strongest Ancestor Realm strength, what reason had he to dread the Sword Soul Ancestor's century-honed slash?

At once, sword gleam and divine beam smashed together violently.

"Rumble."

This pitted Strongest Ancestor Realm forces in direct clash.

And far from ordinary ones.

Be it Lu Changsheng's Annihilation Divine Light or the Sword Soul Ancestor's hundred-year blade nurture.

Even among Strongest Ancestor Realm powers, they ranked as utterly fearsome.

Thus, their head-on impact sent visible ripples surging outward everywhere.

One had to admit, the Sword Soul Ancestor's century-tempered blade held tremendous power.

Normally, he couldn't unleash a strike of such cataclysmic force.

Though Lu Changsheng wielded the Annihilation Divine Eye.

Still, famed for invincibility at equal realms.

Yet hadn't Lu Changsheng once shattered it himself?

Indeed, the blade nurtured by the Sword Soul Ancestor over a hundred years proved exceptionally powerful.

It pierced straight through the Annihilation Divine Light without mercy.

Yet that was the limit.

Though the Annihilation Divine Light shattered, the Sword Soul Ancestor's century-nurtured blade had nearly lost seven or eight tenths of its strength to the Annihilation Divine Light.

The leftover might, around two or three tenths, raged toward Lu Changsheng with ferocity.

A smug gleam appeared in the Sword Soul Ancestor's eyes.

He let out a laugh.

His blade light had indeed burned through seven or eight tenths of its power.

Still, the remaining two or three tenths held terrifying force.

Lu Changsheng could no longer summon an Immortal Treasure in time.

Should the blade light land on Lu Changsheng's body,

how could simple flesh and blood endure that devastating slash?

Lu Changsheng was destined to perish!

The spectators in Sky City caught this moment as well.

Sky City's peak Ancestor Realm powerhouses,

such as the Ancestor of Vision,

the President of the Spirit Capturing Chamber of Commerce, and others,

Every Ancestor Realm familiar with or connected to Lu Changsheng felt their hearts tense.

Even top Ancestor Realms unacquainted with Lu Changsheng wore faint looks of regret.

Evidently, they rejected the idea of Sword Soul Ancestor dominating Sky City.

That outcome would utterly condemn Sky City to ruin.

"Ascension Ancestor Lu Changsheng, what sort of horrifying talent is his? He leapfrogged straight to Strongest Ancestor Realm, but sadly, he acted too hastily—barely reaching Strongest Ancestor Realm, he rushed into Sky City, only to fall prey to the Sword Soul Ancestor who had preserved his full strength."
