“Wow, that’s intense!”
Lu Ye couldn’t help but gawk at the scene before him.
The divine abilities unleashed by the two were simply beyond the limits of this realm.
Honestly speaking, even in his previous life as the Nine Lives Celestial Lord, he was just slightly stronger than these two.
If it came down to a real fight, who would win was anyone’s guess.
The Celestial Lord phantoms appearing during the Eternal Great Tribulation did not even include the Saints.
Lu Ye had never actually fought against these two.
The light before him was boundless and infinite.
It was as if the two had transformed into two grand worlds, and each collision felt like a clash between those worlds.
This spectacle was truly astonishing.
The intensity of this battle was unmatched in history; there were hardly any fights that could compare.
“Hahaha, this is exhilarating! Absolutely exhilarating!”
The Invincible Sword Lord couldn’t hold back his laughter.
His laughter reverberated through the sun, moon, and stars.
His sword reached an ultimate form—an ultimate form that Lu Ye could barely comprehend. Even if Lu Ye were to be arrogant, witnessing the sword intent of the Invincible Sword Lord made him painfully aware of his own inadequacies.
Was the Compassionless Sage not strong?
Of course, he was strong. Even the mighty Compassionless Sage would sustain injuries from each sword strike of the Invincible Sword Lord, unable to block even a single one.
No matter how many spells or divine abilities you throw at me, I will shatter them with a single sword.
Right now, the Invincible Sword Lord really had reached that level.
But what about the Compassionless Sage?
The Compassionless Sage was the epitome of calmness; faced with such blinding sword light, his expression remained completely unfazed.
The wounds on his body were the slightest of scratches.
He recovered at the speed of light and retaliated with a cold precision, like an impeccably engineered machine.
His attacks were aimed to either kill the Invincible Sword Lord or to ensure their mutual destruction.
The Invincible Sword Lord was getting wounded left and right, yet he showed no signs of recuperating; instead, each wound seemed to fuel his excitement.
Every strike of his sword grew in power, giving the impression that its potency had no limits.
In their last lives, these two never fought.
But in this life, it was happening, and the Compassionless Sage had no time to think of saving himself, as all his previous attempts had ended in failure.
After watching for a moment, Lu Ye couldn’t help but frown.
This wouldn’t do!
If this continued, they really might end up taking each other out.
“System, simulate the outcome of their battle!”
Lu Ye spoke up.
“Ding, simulating.”
Lu Ye stood by, observing the fight.
After waiting for a while, the system still hadn’t completed its simulation.
It wasn’t his first time using the system, and it dawned on him that the reason for the slow simulation was insufficient data.
He realized that if he participated directly, the system would be able to run the simulation quickly.
So, Lu Ye jumped into the fray.
His figure suddenly appeared before the sword light.
At that moment, the sword light hadn’t even landed on him, yet his body felt as if it had been torn apart with pain.
Only when facing this strike could one understand just how powerful it was.
Lu Ye launched a Celestial Lord Fist.
“Boom!”
The sword light shattered, but a deep gash remained on Lu Ye’s fist.
It nearly split his hand in two.
The Invincible Sword Lord’s brows furrowed; his expression was clearly not pleased, much like a man arriving at the doorstep of his heart’s desire, only to be pulled away at the last moment by another.
He had been searching for a worthy opponent, and now that he finally found one, what was this kid doing?
So, the Invincible Sword Lord simply bypassed Lu Ye and continued fighting.
“Hold on, Invincible Sword Lord! I want to fight the Compassionless Sage first.”
“You haven’t even broken through to Celestial Lord yet! You’re not ready!” retorted the Invincible Sword Lord.
Even though Lu Ye had become a Great Emperor now, it was still inadequate when standing against top-tier Saints.
To engage in battles against beings of such caliber was virtually impossible.
However, with Lu Ye’s resilient body, he could take a few hits without a problem, so he charged into the battlefield like a wild card.
The Compassionless Sage also frowned at this moment.
Clearly, this battle was a rare thrill for him, but Lu Ye absolutely couldn’t be involved.
At that instant, Lu Ye sensed a powerful killing intent.
Countless runes suddenly erupted within him, each exuding immense power.
“Crack, crack, crack…”
Lu Ye’s bones felt as if they were shattering.
This was the Compassionless Sage making his move against Lu Ye.
But the Nine Tribulations Undying Body burst forth in full power, and the Primordial Force crushed the runes, causing his broken bones to mend.
A small arrow silently appeared at Lu Ye’s forehead.
Lu Ye’s forehead opened a vertical eye, unleashing divine light as it collided fiercely with the arrow.
At the same time, the figure of the Compassionless Sage emerged behind Lu Ye, and a palm aimed at his head struck down, while Lu Ye’s Dao Fruit faced a violent assault.
The Invincible Sword Lord’s sword light also approached the back of the Compassionless Sage.
The Compassionless Sage paid no heed and made it clear he was willing to endure the Invincible Sword Lord’s sword pressure just to eliminate Lu Ye first.
However, the Invincible Sword Lord wasn’t one to capitalize on another’s distraction; his sword aura dissipated.
Lu Ye’s figure became illusory, and the Compassionless Sage’s palm crashed into the void as Lu Ye’s Celestial Lord Fist exploded into reality.
“Boom!”
The Compassionless Sage was pushed back several meters, yet Lu Ye’s illusory state was now unable to recover.
“Wait! I’m backing out!” Lu Ye shouted urgently.
The Compassionless Sage had already redirected his palm striking fiercely at the Invincible Sword Lord.
Both ignored Lu Ye and continued their battle.
Lu Ye let out a light breath.
Goodness gracious.
When facing the Compassionless Sage, the attacks felt ceaseless. In that instant of his assault, it seemed like all of Lu Ye’s reactions were already anticipated.
Countless spells piled onto him, dragging him into despair at lightning speed.
It’s no wonder others could become Saints.
It’s no wonder he couldn’t become one.
Each Saint possessed their unique traits; they were truly flawless.
Of course, if Lu Ye were to become a Saint, not to mention the Celestial Lord Fist alone would make a dazzling mark among Saints.
At the same level, could the Compassionless Sage withstand Lu Ye’s striking force? That was debatable!
“Ding, simulation complete!”
Sure enough, once Lu Ye personally assessed the intensity, the system swiftly finished the simulation.
The ultimate outcome determined by the system was… mutual destruction!
Lu Ye…
Truly mutual destruction…
This kind of result doesn’t imply the Invincible Sword Lord wasn’t strong, but rather that he was just too strong.
What level was the Invincible Sword Lord at now?
He had just risen to Celestial Lord, dominating all opponents not long ago.
The Compassionless Sage was on the verge of becoming a Saint.
No way, he absolutely couldn’t let these two, especially the Invincible Sword Lord, die here.
He had to find out what the Compassionless Sage had endured.
If there was a way to break the deadlock, he needed to stop their fight!
