Chapter 618 - 538: The Swordbearer and the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity’s Movements!

Chapter 618: Chapter 538: The Swordbearer and the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity’s Movements!

"So, do we really have to choose Su Yuan as the Sword Holder?"

Gui Yuan said anxiously:

"If we choose him as the Sword Holder, while Blue Star might be safeguarded, there’s an 80-90% chance that the Cosmic Boundary Wall will be breached!"

"By then, we would be the ones who pushed the Cultivation Realm to destruction."

An Xingran chuckled and said:

"Senior Gui Yuan, that’s a rather old-fashioned way of thinking. Even if we really activate the Immortal Slaying Sword, the culprit for the world’s destruction won’t be us, but the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity who seeks to destroy our civilization."

"Moreover, even if the Cosmic Boundary Wall is truly breached, the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity should have ways to seal it; it won’t be as severe as you say."

Gui Yuan fell silent, and after a while, nodded slightly to show support.

An Xingran continued: "We’re just having a pointless discussion. Whatever the future holds should be left to professionals to judge."

As she spoke, the eighteen-year-old high school girl turned her gaze to the Observing Heaven Pavilion Master.

As a Divinity Transformation Cultivator specializing in the art of deduction, although the Observing Heaven Pavilion Master cannot see the exact future, he can gain some vague insights.

At least in the major directions influencing the Cultivation Realm, he doesn’t make errors.

The Observing Heaven Pavilion Master glanced at the suitable candidates gradually emerging from the entrance capsule, and said calmly:

"I see no hope in any of the other candidates; only Su Yuan is special, embodying both hope and destruction."

The Hundred Heads Celestial Monarch stroked his chin and said:

"So, selecting Su Yuan as the Sword Holder gives us a chance of survival, whereas choosing anyone else gives us none."

Wu Luo True Monarch added:

"But choosing Su Yuan may lead the Cultivation Realm into an extremely dark future."

Shen Zhou pondered, then said in a deep voice:

"Dragging the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity into darkness with us is better than having no hope at all; let’s choose Su Yuan as the Sword Holder."

After Shen Zhou made the decision, the rest of the judges also made their choice.

They unanimously chose Su Yuan.

It’s simple, rather than opt for a hopeless future visible at a glance, it’s better to bet on Su Yuan!

Cultivators who have reached the Divinity Transformation First Realm are inherently gamblers.

After the judges reached a consensus, the result of choosing Su Yuan as the Sword Holder was communicated downward.

The candidates had no objections and seemed not surprised at all. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

After all, being chosen as the Sword Holder isn’t an honorable position, it’s an officially recognized super demon capable of destroying the world at any moment.

Once the unselected candidates left Taixu University in an orderly manner, leaving only Su Yuan and the judges, the formal authorization matters were discussed.

"Su Yuan, the Star River Celestial Monarch has already arrived at the Divine Artisan Palace, ready to launch the Immortal Slaying Sword at any time."

"Before the Immortal Slaying Sword is launched, I will entrust the control of this Immortal Treasure to you. Do you have any questions about this arrangement?"

Su Yuan nodded and asked:

"With such a distance between the Sword Holder and the Immortal Slaying Sword, are we sure there won’t be any communication obstacles or interference?"

"Once the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity cuts off my communication with the Immortal Slaying Sword, all our preparations will be wasted."

Regarding Su Yuan’s question, the Profound Skill Celestial Monarch sighed softly.

"There’s not much I can do; I’ve optimized the communication module to the best of my ability, but I can’t be sure if the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity can interfere with it."

"We can only rely on experience and intuition to judge whether the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity has acted, and initiate the Immortal Slaying Sword before he does."

Su Yuan thought for a moment and said:

"Rather than relying on such an uncertain warning method, I have a more suitable approach."

Hearing this, a multitude of Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs showed curiosity.

"When launching the Immortal Slaying Sword, why not launch me along with it?"

"At that time, I’ll be living on the Immortal Slaying Sword; no matter how powerful the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity is, he couldn’t possibly sever our connection."

Su Yuan said seriously.

"But it’s too dangerous."

The Celestial Monarch Wuluo immediately refused without thinking:

"Su Yuan, your safety is vital to the big picture; we can’t let you be alone."

"Even if you manage to detect the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity’s assassination timelously, once the Cosmic Boundary Wall is breached, external cosmic forces will certainly rush in, putting you at great risk."

Su Yuan said solemnly:

"Even so, I must go."

"I have a method to accurately locate all Divinity Transformation Cultivators in the Cultivation Realm, not fearing that the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity will secretly launch a surprise attack against Blue Star once he cuts off communication between me and Blue Star."

"And if I stay at Blue Star, I can’t guarantee when the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity might remotely sever my connection with the Immortal Slaying Sword."

"As for the dangers after the Cosmic Boundary Wall is breached, I can’t guarantee survival, but even in death, I will die a meaningful death."

Sensing Su Yuan’s words, the Divinity Transformation Cultivators present couldn’t help but be moved.

Su Yuan’s nobility is indeed astonishing.

This willingness to sacrifice for the civilization of Blue Star left them in awe.

Of course, Su Yuan wasn’t as noble as the Cultivators imagined.

His boldness to personally sit near the Cosmic Boundary Wall was due to the ’Chaos Body’ mission reward.

Su Yuan understood what lies beyond the universe, the system had clearly stated it’s chaos.

And Chaos Body, sharing the word chaos, shouldn’t fear that so-called chaos, maybe it’ll even thrive in it.

But such matters needn’t be shared with outsiders.

"Alright, since you’ve already prepared yourself mentally, we won’t try to dissuade you anymore. In short, be careful in everything."

Wu Luo True Monarch is the most concerned about Su Yuan among all the Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs, but when facing such critical matters, he is also the first to decide.

As for dispatching Divinity Transformation guards for Su Yuan, it’s entirely unnecessary.

Because Su Yuan’s current combat power is already very strong.

He’s not some weak, pitiful, helpless ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator, but a Divinity Transformation force who has personally defeated the Saint Law Celestial Monarch.

When facing ordinary Divinity Transformation Cultivators, Su Yuan is not afraid at all; he can kill them one by one.

Facing strong cultivators within Divinity Transformation, Blue Star can also provide timely support through ultra-long-range Teleportation Arrays.

If faced with the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity coming personally?

At that point, is there any difference in having Divinity Transformation guards or not?

There’s no time to lose, accompanied by a group of Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs, Su Yuan returned to the Divine Artisan Palace.

There, Star River Celestial Monarch Qi Anong had already set up the Teleportation Array for the Immortal Slaying Sword, ready to activate it anytime.

Star River Celestial Monarch was quite surprised upon knowing Su Yuan would go as well, yet after hearing Su Yuan’s intent for the journey, she accepted it.

"By the way, are Noy and Hanyan still in their retreat?"

Standing next to the Evil-slaying Sword, Su Yuan suddenly remembered the two girls he hadn’t seen for a month and asked Celestial Monarch Wu Luo.

"Hanyan is still in her retreat for the Divinity Transformation Inheritance prepared by her mother, while Noy is undergoing special training with the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable. They haven’t come out yet."

Wu Luo True Monarch replied.

She knew Su Yuan was missing them, so she added:

"When they come out, I’ll immediately arrange for them to have a video call with you; the Immortal Slaying Sword has built-in Wi-Fi."

Su Yuan: "..."

Such a high-end super immortal treasure, suddenly mentioning built-in Wi-Fi is quite a bit distracting.

However, he didn’t say much, just nodded and said:

"I have no other issues, let’s go."

Star River Celestial Monarch reluctantly waved goodbye to Su Yuan and activated the Teleportation Array.

The next moment, Su Yuan and the Immortal Slaying Sword were enveloped in the teleportation’s white light.

After an exceptionally long teleportation journey, a new scene finally appeared before his eyes.

An intensely solitary, pitch-black cosmic space without even stars.

Fortunately, the Immortal Slaying Sword is large, and its light source could illuminate Su Yuan, preventing him from appearing too lonely.

Su Yuan looked in the direction indicated by the tip of the Immortal Slaying Sword.

That place seemed no different from the surrounding cosmic space, but when Su Yuan extended his senses, he was blocked by an invisible barrier.

That barrier is the Cosmic Boundary Wall.

He’s now at the very edge of the cosmos, just one wall away from the world beyond the universe.

"Thinking about it, it seems quite incredible that humanity can touch the edge of the universe."

Su Yuan sighed internally; this experience was unimaginable in his previous life.

After surveying the environment, Su Yuan felt a bit bored.

He casually built a house on the massive sword body of the Immortal Slaying Sword, moved in, connected to the sword’s built-in network, and re-established a connection with Blue Star.

Meanwhile, he could play various online games, so being alone at the edge of the universe wasn’t lonely at all.

"By the way, I wonder what the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity is doing now."

Su Yuan remembered his arch-nemesis.

He pulled up the Divinity Transformation Distribution Map in his mind, hoping to find some clues about the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity.

Unfortunately, after searching, he found nothing.

The only certainty is that neither the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity nor his minions have approached Blue Star.

Su Yuan was slightly dissatisfied with the functionality of the Divinity Transformation Distribution Map.

Why are all the dots representing Divinity Transformation Cultivators the same size, regardless of their strength?

If the dot size could match the strength of the Divinity Transformation Cultivators, then the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity, who mastered seventy percent of the Primordial Dao and whose cultivation reached Divinity Transformation Peak, would undoubtedly be the most eye-catching one, absolutely easy to find.

What a pity.

"Old Deng, it’s been a month since I took down the Saint Law Celestial Monarch; can’t you show some reaction?"

"Are you senile or what? Why haven’t you sent more people to deal with us?"

Su Yuan murmured internally.

The enemy’s complete lack of action gave him the feeling of hitting cotton with a fist.

It feels like everything is one-sided, and the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity couldn’t care less about them.

Meanwhile, at another edge of the universe.

Murky mist continuously gushes from the holes in the boundary wall, carrying the terrifying power to assimilate everything, greedily invading the universe’s interior.

But just as the gray mist spewed from the boundary wall’s hole, a large hand suddenly stretched out from the void, directly plugging the breach in the boundary wall.

Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity held the boundary wall breach with one hand, while the other stirred a five-color paste in a bronze jar akin to glue, muttering incessantly.

"The boundary wall’s breaches are increasing."

Suddenly, he sneezed.

Feeling puzzled, he surveyed his surroundings:

"Who’s talking about me now?"
