Chapter 377: The Sword Saint

“What move is that? I heard that diamond-tier experts could control the power of rules. Could that be the power of rules?”

After Watson released his move, the two junior brothers behind Samuel looked at the shadow above their heads and discussed it.

“No, that’s not just the power of rules. It should be something more profound.” Samuel shook his head. As the Sword Saint’s disciple, he had some understanding of diamond-tiers elites. The diamond-tier elites were powerful amongst humans, but the starlight-tier elites were considered gods. The gods controlled the divine kingdom, and mortals who took one step in it would die.

Samuel had not felt anything when he listened to his master’s explanation. However, when he saw Watson release the illusory divine kingdom, he suddenly had an inexplicable thought. The kingdom in front of him was the divine kingdom. He did not enter it. Just looking at it from the outside made him feel an urge to worship it.

“Watson could use the power of the divine kingdom? Is he a diamond-tier elite?”

While his whole body was trembling, Samuel’s expression became more and more bitter. His self-esteem suffered a setback when he had learned that Watson was a diamond-tier elite. Then, when he saw Watson use the power of the divine kingdom, he doubted whether Watson’s real strength was higher than diamond, or perhaps he was at the starlight tier.

If that were really the case, then it would be too terrifying. It had been a long time since a starlight-tier elite had appeared in that world. It was not difficult for such an existence to fight against an entire country alone. After all, there was a huge difference in strength between a god and a man.

Antonio also reached out to stroke his nonexistent beard and narrowed his eyes.

“Kid, you’ve actually raised your strength to such an extent? You’re now using the rules to create a divine kingdom. Even though it is much weaker than the starlight-tier divine kingdom, it still surpassed the diamond-tier one. Even I could not do such a thing.”

Antonio glanced at the enormous power of faith emanating from Watson’s divine kingdom. His eyes were filled with uncontrollable envy.

Building a divine kingdom required rules and the power of faith. Antonio was confident that as long as he was given some time, he would be able to develop enough rules too. However, the power of faith was not easy to obtain. Watson was able to build that divine kingdom was mostly due to the pure power of faith.

While the people around him sighed, Watson panted as he supported the illusory divine kingdom in the sky. That move was the product of using the system to fuse all the rules into his body. It could temporarily summon the divine kingdom.

When he advanced to diamond-tier in the floating city, he used that move in front of tens of thousands of sea folks. Due to the lack of rules, he had not successfully used it before that. At that time, he had learned from the preceding lesson. He did not choose to condense the entire divine kingdom but decided to use only the rules that he had mastered.

So, only about half of the divine kingdom that he had created was real, and the other half was hidden in the void. It was an illusory light shadow, constantly distorting with the fluctuations of space.

Strictly speaking, what he was using now was not a real divine kingdom, but a semi-finished divine kingdom. Even so, its power was not something that ordinary people could withstand.

The moment that divine kingdom appeared, the entire night sky of the royal city was illuminated.

On the streets of the royal city, many passers-by raised their heads to look at the sky. Their eyes reflected psychedelic colors as they knelt on the ground sincerely. There were even people who pushed open the doors and windows and stuck their heads out the windows, watching everything in the sky. They spread their arms and worshipped devoutly.

“A city that is reflected in the royal city and covers the entire area of the royal city. What kind of magic is that?”

“That’s not right; you’re seeing things wrong! That city clearly doesn’t only cover the area of the royal city, but it also covers the entire country. That must be a miracle from the gods, praising the gods. ”

Everyone thought that the divine kingdom that Watson had cast was very large. As for how large it was, everyone’s vision was different. Some people felt that the city in the sky was so large that it could cover the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom. There were also people who felt that the city in the sky was only as big as the royal city. That was the characteristic of the divine kingdom. Because it was the manifestation of the rules, the rules were everywhere, so the divine kingdom was everywhere.

For as far as the eye could see, it was the divine kingdom. It was the road to the divine kingdom.

At the imperial palace, in the royal city.

King Landhar III wore a bathrobe and held a golden goblet in his hand. He stood in front of the window of the bedroom and looked up at the scenery above him. His expression was uncertain.

“That is the diamond tier that you mentioned. It seems that Watson has already reached the starlight tier!”

“Your Majesty, don’t be nervous. That young man hasn’t quite reached the starlight level yet. He just used some methods from the diamond tier to forcefully create the divine kingdom! That realm is incomplete, and its power is not even one-tenth of the real divine kingdom.”

Balls of shadow squirmed in the cup in King Landhar III’s hands as if they were alive. A majestic voice came from the shadows.

“No matter what, the incomplete divine kingdom is still a divine kingdom. To be able to release a divine kingdom at that age, that youth might have the possibility of becoming a god.”

King Landhar III squeezed the cup slightly, causing several cracks to appear on the surface of the cup. With a crisp sound, it shattered, and wine spilled all over the ground. At the same time, he stared at the distant eyes that were filled with killing intent. There was something else in his eyes.

At the Sword Saint’s courtyard.

When Watson released his divine kingdom, Reid had already taken action. He took a step forward, and tens of thousands of sword aura appeared behind him. Those sword aura were very thick and heavy, and they looked like real weapons forged from platinum-tier ores. The blade of the sword was engraved with dense, mysterious symbols that kept rotating. Those were the manifestations of rules.

It turned out that those sword aura were not real sword aura. Instead, they were rules related to swords.

“The Kingdom of Sword and Slash!”

Reid let out a soft cry. The tens of thousands of sword auras behind him immediately gathered and turned into a huge sword-shaped kingdom. The tip of that kingdom’s sword pointed toward the sky. The hilt of the sword sat on the ground, and tens of thousands of multicolored rays of light fell from the body of the sword. It was as fast as a waterfall, and the chanting of the gods could be faintly heard from it.

After the huge sword kingdom was formed, it smashed toward Watson’s illusory kingdom. When the two collided, cracks appeared in Watson’s kingdom, and the illusory kingdom became even more unreal. However, it was not destroyed.

On the contrary, after Reid’s sword kingdom collided with Watson’s kingdom, it was raised high up and split the sky into two. Even Reid retreated more than ten steps. His expression changed, and he took a deep breath before commanding the huge sword kingdom to fall. That time, Watson’s divine kingdom could no longer stop it. It was split into two and disappeared without a trace.

“Your Excellency, the Sword Saint, is indeed powerful.”

Watson’s face was pale, and a trace of blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. He could feel that the Sword Saint Reid was the same as him. Both of them were only at diamond-tier, but the other party could actually use the divine kingdom. Furthermore, compared to his half-finished product, Reid’s divine kingdom was infinitely close to the starlight level. In just two moves, his divine kingdom was destroyed.

When the kingdom was destroyed, Watson could feel that the power of faith in his body had become much weaker. That made him feel powerless.

“Watson, you’re the powerful one! Just now, we set the rules. As long as you let me move one step, you’ll pass. Not only did you let me move, but you also forced me to use my full strength. You’ve won that competition. From now on, you’re my disciple.”

Nodding at Watson, Reid immediately turned to look at Antonio and complained in his heart.

“Antonio, where did you find that monster? If I had not stopped him in time and allowed that kid’s kingdom to descend on the capital, then less than ten percent of the people in the capital would have survived. You actually watched the show from the side. Aren’t you afraid that that kid will destroy the capital?”

Previously, when he saw Antonio flaunting Watson in front of him, Reid only felt anger in his heart. However, he felt a lingering fear then. Antonio’s description of Watson was not exaggerated. On the contrary, Reid felt that Antonio’s praise of Watson was too reserved.

After defeating Watson, Reid quickly withdrew the illusory divine kingdom. From his attack to the disappearance of the divine kingdom in the sky, it had only been a few dozen seconds. That caused the residents on the street who were watching the scene above their heads to be in a daze. They rubbed their eyes and suspected that they were dreaming.

“Why did the realm above our heads disappear? Was it only a mirage?” a resident muttered softly and stood up from the ground. When he saw the divine kingdom above his head, he did not know why, but he suddenly felt a sense of tranquility in his heart. He wanted to show the highest respect to the divine kingdom, but the feeling disappeared after he stood up.

Not far away from him, another resident shook his head.

“It shouldn’t be. Along with that scene was a loud noise. I think there might be someone fighting! To cause such a strange phenomenon, it meant that the two parties fighting were at least on the same level as Antonio and the Sword Saint. Perhaps Master Antonio and the Sword Saint were sparring?”

Many of the people in the capital were puzzled. At the same time, a mirage appeared in the sky above the capital. The news that Antonio and the Sword Saint fought soon spread throughout the entire capital at the speed of a storm. According to some insiders, before those two divine kingdoms appeared, a large-scale battle had erupted in the Sword Saint’s courtyard. That further confirmed the news that a fight had occurred in the Sword Saint’s courtyard.

Many people who wanted to find out the truth of that matter gathered outside the Sword Saint courtyard, looking forward to it.

After waiting for half an hour, some people were impatient as the Sword Saint’s courtyard gate opened.

Antonio led Watson away from the gate of the courtyard. Standing at the gate, Watson bowed respectfully to Reid and said, “Sir Sword Saint, sorry to disturb you in the middle of the night. Master and I will leave now.”

As expected, Antonio came to fight with the Sword Saint. It seemed that Antonio and Reid caused a huge scene in the air.

Many people in the crowd had such thoughts. At that moment, they saw Reid walk out of the gate with his hands behind his back. He glanced around and then looked at Watson with a profound expression.

“Watson, you still call me Sir Sword Saint? Are we still strangers? ! You’ve passed the assessment. You should call me Master instead. At your age, you’re able to force me to use my full strength. You’re the only person who could do that in the entire kingdom. You should be proud of yourself.”

“Sword Saint, I mean, Master, you are too kind.”

Watson had become the Sword Saint’s disciple. That young man, who was also Antonio’s disciple, had become Reid’s disciple. What was going on?

The onlookers were shocked when they saw Watson bow to Reid.
