We Agreed to Brag Together, But You Secretly Dominated the World - Chapter 466: One Sword Severs Eternity

A supreme and majestic voice resonated throughout the palace.

In the void, the World-Transcending Sword Master’s projection had thick black tresses flowing loosely over his chest and back. His robes billowed yet remained unsullied, his expression extremely tranquil.

His pair of eyes, profound and boundless, seemed to contain the entire universe and starry sky. In his gaze towards Ye Ruxue, there was a hint of approval.

“If you came alone, my inheritance would surely be meant for you.” Just then, the World-Transcending Sword Master’s projection spoke again.

“Hmm?”

Hearing this, Ye Ruxue’s heart skipped a beat.

“What does he mean?”

The next moment, massive waves churned in her mind. She was afraid her biggest secret in this life, that she was a reincarnator, had been exposed. Since her rebirth, no one had seen through this fact about her. Yet today, merely a projection of the World-Transcending Sword Master instantly discerned her background. This was truly too inconceivable!

However, even a projection could be so formidable and terrifying, how powerful must his real self have been when alive?

Thinking thus, Ye Ruxue recalled the World-Transcending Sword Master of her past life. To be honest, she did not have much impression of the new incumbent then. After all, peerless experts were too common in her era. That new World-Transcending Sword Master, though remarkable, was only extraordinary. Among contemporaries, while able to be compared with her, they were merely on par with each other.

But in this life, she clearly witnessed how the World-Transcending Sword Master of the last generation had completely overturned her assessment. The man before her now probably surpassed even her at the peak of her previous life. From this, it was obvious the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance was not as simple as she imagined.

In all likelihood, the new incumbent in her last life had yet to truly unleash its full potential.

“What a pity, you brought him along.” The World-Transcending Sword Master’s projection glanced around before finally resting on Su Chen. He studied Su Chen deeply, doubts swirling in his eyes.

“My deductions contain no such person. I can deduce his past, but he should have died from poisoning then. Logically, he would either perish from the poisoning or be saved by his sect’s elders. There were only two possibilities. Yet he survived entirely on his own strength. That is truly unbelievable.”

At this point, the World-Transcending Sword Master’s projection shook his head in bewilderment before continuing, “1 tried deducing his present, but it appears to be quite vague. As 1 peer into his future, all 1 see is chaos. When I look back, there is nothing behind him. No. It’s not nothingness. In that corner of the future, 1 only saw his vague silhouette in purple robes, his back to all living creatures as his sword… Severs eternity!”

Here, the World-Transcending Sword Master’s projection seemed somewhat deranged. Staring fixedly at Su Chen, he kept muttering, “A sword severing eternity… No! You are an uncertainty, the greatest variable in this world. 1… I cannot pierce see through your future…”

Hearing the old man’s words, Su Chen’s mind was full of questions. Ye Ruxue’s beautiful eyes also settled on Su Chen at this moment as she furrowed her brows pensively.

Su Chen coughed lightly and smiled. “Senior, could it be you are also skilled in divination?”

He felt rather astonished by this World-Transcending Sword Master. That transcendental temperament of the World-Transcending Sword Master contained a certain dominance – the lofty aura of one overlooking the world. However, oddly, this World-Transcending Sword Master seemed somewhat deranged.

As for someone like the World-Transcending Sword Master, there was no need to elaborate on their offensive abilities. Yet never did Su Chen expect him to be able to deduce heavenly secrets too. That was far too frightening, implying he had predicted Ye Ruxue’s arrival here countless years ago.

However, the one thing he did not foresee was Su Chen himself. As for all that talk about the future and severing eternity with one sword, Su Chen remained skeptical. With the system’s support, he believed he would definitely reach that level in the future.

But more importantly, such a shockingly formidable figure as the World-Transcending Sword Master had failed to notice the system! At the very least, Su Chen could now confirm the system was definitely a supreme existence. Nonetheless, its origins still eluded him for the moment.

“Haha…” Just then, the World-Crossing Sword Master’s projection spoke again. “No! The real World-Transcending Sword Master is all-knowing and omnipotent. He gazes down on the myriad worlds and all living creatures. Even the long river of time is his to traverse. A mere glimpse into the future means nothing. However, unfortunately, 1 am not the World-Transcending Sword Master himself, only a projection of him. I’m afraid the actual World-Crossing Sword Master is long gone from this world!”

The World-Transcending Sword Master’s projection declared. His eyes were incredibly profound, and in the depths of his gaze, there was a trace of reminiscence, as if recalling the glorious days when he once soared to the nine heavens above and ruled over the nine abysses below. Despite being just a projection now with less than one percent of the World-Transcending Sword Master’s genuine memories, it was still enough to make him proud.

Su Chen and Ye Ruxue were both rendered speechless upon hearing this. This was no longer mere boasting – in Su Chen’s eyes, this was outright self-aggrandizement of a peddler. You were that powerful originally yet now only a projection remained?

Of course, what occupied Su Chen’s mind more was who could possibly slay someone like the World-Transcending Sword Master!

After all, while not devoid of embellishment, the aura emanating from this projection meant the real deal was unlikely to be ordinary. Any existence that could eliminate him would be extraordinarily difficult to find in all the myriad worlds. Perhaps only an unrivaled titan in the ethereal Immortal Realm could accomplish this.

How could such an existence simply die? And who was the one who killed him? Was it due to internal strife within the Immortal Realm, or did some foreign entity like the dark creatures invade that land that countless cultivators yearned for?
