Heavenly Dao Rankings: I Am Exposed As The Sword God
Chapter 445 - True Opponent (2)

Chapter 445: True Opponent (2)

The only possibility was that he was not afraid of Li Yu’s sword.

However, Li Yu was sure that it was definitely not an illusion. Either he had some sort of heaven-defying life-saving ability, or it was only an incarnation or a clone.

His true body might be hidden in the surrounding void, or even not here at all.

According to Venerable Xue, this person could control time and space and possessed many unpredictable divine powers. Furthermore, Li Yu’s Heart of Heaven and Earth and the power of the Primordial Origin True Body could not sense or touch him at all.

This also meant that this person was not simple.

“Long time no see. Emperor Yu’s strength has indeed increased again. This strike almost took my life!” The Primordial Emperor’s voice sounded from all directions.

The moment this voice sounded, the expressions of the native cultivators in the valley changed. The Wang family and the Mu family were also shocked.

“The Primordial Emperor is still alive!”

“He didn’t die from such a terrifying strike. The Primordial Emperor is indeed not simple!”

“This guy is amazing. He actually escaped Cultivator Li’s sword!”

Zhong Yu frowned, and Xue Zun’s expression darkened. He looked at Tai Ri beside him.

“Hmph, where is your main body? Why don’t you come out and fight me!” Li Yu said coldly.

As soon as he said it, the surrounding space kept fluctuating. The endless power of the Great Dao was like countless threads that darted through the surrounding void.

......

Li Yu knew that his words were law, and the power of the Heavenly Dao was capturing the Primordial Emperor.

Unfortunately, this fellow had used some unknown method that even the laws of heaven and earth could not do anything to him.

However, right at this moment, the space where the Primordial Emperor was rapidly began to heal. Furthermore, the healing method seemed to be reversing time.

The Primordial Emperor’s figure condensed from the shattered state and appeared in front of Li Yu again.

Li Yu frowned even more when he saw this, and he was rather surprised.

He could tell that the Primordial Emperor had used a time-type divine power to reverse the time.

No wonder he was not afraid of his serious strike just now. This ability to reverse time was a little freakish.

However, from this point, the Primordial Emperor in front of him was indeed not his main body.

After all, reversing time was not something that could be done with divine power. It required extremely powerful magic power to continuously output.

It had to be known that reversing time was a continuous process of resisting the laws of heaven and earth. If the Primordial Emperor died, it would be useless even if he used the divine power to reverse time before he died.

That was unless he possessed the Great Dao Golden Body, the Heart of Heaven and Earth, and the protection of the Heavenly Dao.

However, it was clear that this fellow was not like that.

Regardless, the Primordial Emperor was indeed the strongest fellow Li Yu had encountered so far. He was a true opponent.

The moment the Primordial Emperor condensed again.

The system interface suddenly popped up in front of Li Yu again. It was information about the Primordial Emperor.

“Primordial Pearl!” Li Yu’s eyes brightened, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. He did not expect a surprise here.

He did not expect the Primordial Emperor to have an extraordinary background.

No wonder he called himself the Primordial Emperor. He was transformed from the Primordial Pearl.

Of course, this was only his incarnation and not his main body.

Furthermore, according to the system’s introduction, the Primordial Pearl possessed the ability to conceal the heavenly secrets and escape the control of the Heavenly Dao.

In other words, the laws of heaven and earth and the myriad of Great Dao in the world were no threat to the Primordial Pearl. This was basically equivalent to all divine powers and techniques being useless to him.

This was also why his Heart of Heaven and Earth, Great Dao Golden Body, and Primordial Origin True Body were useless against him.

After all, these required the power of the Heavenly Dao to execute.

This also explained why such an expert had never appeared on the Heavenly Dao Rankings.

Furthermore, he had clearly used some powerful methods to make the people in the Nether Cloud Void escape the control of the Heavenly Dao.

This was why the experts here did not appear on the Heavenly Dao Rankings.

As for why those two grotto-heavens were on the rankings, it was unknown.

It was clear that the laws of heaven and earth could not do anything to the Primordial Emperor, but the power of his sword was still a threat to the Primordial Pearl.

It could even temporarily break through some of his defenses, allowing the system to detect his true identity.

However, Li Yu could not understand why the Primordial Pearl was so powerful that it had to hide here to hide from the Heavenly Dao.

Was he afraid that someone would replace him? Or was he afraid that the Heavenly Dao would harm him?

Perhaps it was all possible, or there was another reason.

However, one thing was certain. His main body would not appear easily no matter what. Without the system’s guidance, it would be difficult for him to replace where his main body was hiding.

Sigh! Collecting Primordial Treasures was indeed difficult.

“Emperor Yu has the discerning eye. Although I’m only an incarnation, it’s impossible for Emperor Yu to kill me. Of course, there’s no life and death grudge between us, and I don’t want to make both sides suffer.

“Therefore, we will each take a step back today. I will not pursue the matter.”

“However, I would like to invite Emperor Yu to leave the Nether Cloud Void. From now on, we will mind our own business. How about that?” The Primordial Emperor asked in a low voice.

Although his tone seemed neither servile nor overbearing, anyone could tell that he had admitted defeat.

It was clear that Li Yu’s strike had intimidated him.

It was true. The Primordial Emperor was well aware that although Li Yu could not kill him or replace his main body, he could not kill Li Yu.

There was nothing he could do.

The current Emperor Yu was clearly much stronger than before.

Especially since his attainments in the Sword Dao had already surpassed the laws of the Heavenly Dao. Under that sword, that old fellow’s power was trash.

If his main body encountered him again, it was hard to say who would win.

Therefore, he chose to back down.

The expressions of the native cultivators in the valley turned grim again. They were well aware that if Li Yu and the others really left.

The Primordial Emperor would probably not let them off easily. After all, from a certain perspective, Zhong Yu had killed Hong Zun because of them.

“Sigh…” Venerable Xue sighed helplessly. Although he was shocked by Li Yu’s power, the Primordial Emperor was clearly not weak either. When the two immortals fought, it was the ants like them who suffered.

Since the Primordial Emperor had chosen to give in, Li Yu could not continue to tangle with him for their sake.

“The Primordial Emperor doesn’t know my master well enough!” Zhong Yu said.

However, when Li Yu heard the Primordial Emperor’s words, he fell silent for a moment. His eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth curled into a thought-provoking smile as he nodded noncommittally.

Seeing Li Yu’s reaction, the Primordial Emperor smiled and was about to leave when Li Yu slashed again.

This sword slashed through space again, mercilessly destroying the void that had yet to fully heal.

The Primordial Emperor’s figure was also puzzled as he collapsed in shock and anger.

“Why are you doing this! Since I’ve already chosen to retreat, why are you still unwilling to forgive me? Do you have to fight me to the death?”

The Primordial Emperor’s angry voice reverberated through the void.

Li Yu’s sudden strike was clearly beyond his expectations, and of course, it was beyond the expectations of most people present.

Everyone thought that Li Yu would really give up and walk separately from the Primordial Emperor!

After all, the other party had already given in. Their strength was on par, and there was no life and death grudge. No one would choose to fight the other party to the death.

“It’s fine. I just want to see if your incarnation can be condensed again! Anyway, you’ve already said that I can’t kill you!” Li Yu said with a smile.

The Primordial Emperor was speechless.

“Please leave this place!” After a long silence, the Primordial Emperor’s voice sounded again.

“Can’t your incarnation be condensed again? Sigh, how boring. You can’t even withstand two of my strikes!” Li Yu muttered to himself, and the Primordial Emperor was so angry that he could not speak for a moment.

Immediately, the shattered void reversed time again, and his incarnation recovered.

“I’ve already said that you can’t kill me. Don’t waste your magic power and time…”

Li Yu slashed again, and the incarnation dissipated into thin air again…

“Ah, I’m sorry. I didn’t control the power in my right hand!” Li Yu said with a smile.

This time, the Primordial Emperor’s anger really exploded.

…
