The Invincible constitution : Rise of the Supreme One

Chapter 70: Sword Vs Shadows

Nearly twenty thousand Sword Sect disciples stood with their heads held high, facing the one thousand disciples of the Shadow Sect.

Despite the overwhelming difference in numbers, the strength of the Shadow Sect disciples dwarfed even the elders of the Sword Sect. The weakest among them had reached the peak of the Emperor Realm, while most had surpassed that threshold.

Those who could sense the power of the Shadow Sect understood that the Sword Sect was doomed. No one could save them now. Even a few Shadows were enough to wipe out their entire sect in an instant.

The crushing weight of hopelessness began to creep into the hearts of the Sword Sect's disciples, but despite the looming despair, they stood firm. At the forefront, Jian Wu led the disciples, with the elders standing protectively before them. While some senior disciples and elders had reached the Emperor Realm, the majority of the sect's disciples had yet to achieve such heights. Still, not a single one faltered. Each was prepared to lay down their life for the sect.

Yet, despite their readiness, no one made the first move. All eyes were turned skyward, watching the clash between the Sword Sect's strongest cultivator and the Shadow Sect's elder.

With every exchange of blows between the sect master and the Shadow Sect elder, the very fabric of the universe seemed to tremble. Their continuous assaults rattled the heavens, but it was clear to everyone—they were holding back. Neither dared to unleash their full strength, for fear of obliterating the universe itself.

Of course, the universe they could destroy was only this small one, not Eli Shan's vast soul universe. Within his soul, an infinite number of such universes existed. He had no reason to worry.

But there were living beings here— even his parents lived in this small universe. If the Shadows dared to harm it, Eli Shan could erase them with a thought, as easily as breathing.

As the battle raged on, cracks began to appear in the universe. The cultivation of a high-level Great Emperor was not for show. Each strike from their battle sent shockwaves that shattered distant, fragile planets.

Sensing the raw power erupting from their clash, nearly seventy Great Emperors emerged from all over the universe, drawn to the fight. Yet none of them dared to intervene. They knew well that the sect master was fighting a Shadow Sect elder, and in this universe, the Shadows had already killed many Great Emperors, and none of them wanted to share that same fate.

Inside the Sword Sect... disciples and elders alike felt the crushing weight of impending doom. Though they believed in their sect master, their confidence wavered when it came to the Shadows. Besides that, before them stood the army of Shadow Sect disciples, eager to crush them like ants underfoot.

In stark contrast, Eli Shan remained indifferent, calmly moving from place to place, weaving new formations around the sect as though preparing for something far greater.

Suddenly, a Shadow disciple ceased observing the ongoing battle, his attention snapping toward the Sword Sect's great elder. "Your sect master... he's stronger than I expected. Impressive. But it won't change the inevitable—you're all getting annihilated. I've grown bored. Let's begin our fight."

Without warning, the Shadow vanished from his spot and a punch materialized before the great elder's chest, faster than a flash of lightning.

The great elder barely had time to react. His eyes widened as the fist neared, his instincts forcing his hands up to block the strike. But the force behind the punch was monstrous. Despite his efforts, the impact hurled him backward, sending him crashing to the ground at terrifying speed.

Boom!

The elder's body struck the earth with a thunderous sound, and he coughed up blood. Fear flickered in his eyes as he glanced up at the Shadow, his voice trembling. "Y-You... you've surpassed the Emperor Realm!"
