Chapter 1869 War [11]

There weren't many people left to be specifically focused on.

Of course, Damien met many people on his journey to the top. Of them, most remained nearby and were willing to either fight for him or with him.

However, not all of them were able to reach the greatest heights.

People like Tian Yang or Elvira were of vital importance to Damien himself, but their roles in this war were no more than any other Divinity. They were strong. Their growth rate was amazing considering both their age and their circumstances.

Unfortunately, they were only amazing when compared to the average individual. Elvira had ascended to Godhood, but only recently. Tian Yang had to start over after his shattered Divinity was returned, so he was barely able to reach the peak of Demigodhood by now.

There was no telling what would happen in the future, especially since the Void's blessing did subtly touch them. Still, their stories would not be completed in this final war.

Interestingly enough, there were two people who stood out from that majority who didn't have the same sort of connection to Damien as his blood family or his wives.

Long Chen and Su Ren.

These two sword practitioners who became his closest friends over the course of their time together were in a unique position.

There were two reasons for this. Firstly, the sword path was that kind of road. It was extremely difficult to traverse at the beginning because it was not a natural law. To make great accomplishments meant to train until death and reach enlightenment through battle.

What those practitioners who stuck with it until the end received was an easy road in their later years. Because all sword paths eventually connected back into a single river of knowledge spawned from the living mind, sword practitioners would eventually reach a state where any and all swordsmanship would become easy for them to comprehend.

After that, the only thing one required to continue ascending was the growth of one's Legend.

Both Long Chen and Su Ren were geniuses of their generation. And, when the second reason came into play, their genius was bolstered to a new level.

The Void's blessing that others didn't receive was effective on them. The Void may not have acknowledged friends as beings with enough importance to provide with a blessing, but Damien did.

Damien wanted to see the two of them become just as strong as him. Sometimes, it got annoying to remember that there was such a huge gap between them.

His wishes manifested as a sort of special blessing that they were able to make use of. With its help, both of them were nearing the peak of the swords they chased.

Their paths were different, but that was only because they chose to express themselves differently.

In terms of growth, they were evenly matched. Both of them were Gods by now. They were only in the middle of that level, but that was irrelevant. The two of them were not fighting Dukes like Zara and Alea.

Instead, using their combined power, they took on Grand Dukes along with their fellows.

Together, their two swords were unstoppable.

What Su Ren always chased was a sword that cut through any and all energies. He had not yet completely manifested it, but he was more than strong enough to cut through the energy of the Sacred Abyss.

Meanwhile, Long Chen had a bit more of a complicated path.

It had to be remembered that he was born with a poison affinity. It was something he avoided for a long time, and then it was something he was forced to use by the circumstances.

In the end, it was only through the coercion of his wives that he finally accepted himself and decided that he couldn't ignore his inherent traits.

To find a sword that used poison but was still as honorable as the one he sought was almost impossible. It was obvious how poison was used with blades.

However, as he searched far and wide through both Grand Heavens Boundary and the Heavenly World, he was eventually able to find his answer.

Poison was usually seen as a discreet weapon due to its nature. There were only a few people who ever used it openly, and those people usually used techniques that affected large areas.

None of those styles fit Long Chen. Instead, to incorporate poison into his existing techniques and wear his affinity proudly, what he sought was the blood of a Poison Dragon.

It was a rare subspecies that hardly existed in the Heavenly World. Luckily, he was able to find one and inherit its bloodline abilities just two years before this war began.

The sword technique he created was not yet polished, but combat was the best place for it to shine.

And, when combined with Su Ren's abilities, his force became unstoppable.

The sounds of explosions did not resound on the battlefields they visited. Su Ren would cut through any and all energy immediately upon his entrance, so any such scenes immediately ceased.

After he did the preliminary work, Long Chen would focus on the enemies and play the main role in the fights.

His poison was a sword itself. It showed itself openly and boldly as if to declare to anyone that it was not meant to be pathetic or weak.

No, rather than being a force that caused that kind of death, Long Chen's poison had become a part of his sword aura. It moved with his sword and was one with his heart. Even when he commanded mind swords and the likes, his poison would move too.

Long Chen had a lot of killing power. He was able to force almost any opponent onto the back foot in seconds. From there, he pressured them and pressured them and pressured them. freēwebnovel.com

His swordsmanship was strong and direct. All of his attacks were telegraphed, however, even if one knew where they were coming from, they were impossible to avoid.

With such techniques, he was even able to push Grand Dukes.

Killing them, on the other hand, was a different story.

To truly break a Grand Duke's defense was only possible with Supreme God-level power. The only way to circumvent this law…

…was it not to eradicate that defense entirely?

Long Chen's sword was sharp enough to cut through the flesh of a Supreme God. Behind him, he had a force that could take care of the energy.

The moment he saw an opportunity, Su Ren would appear and strike, throwing the enemy off balance and slicing their energy apart.

Long Chen could completely capitalize on that opportunity and kill them.

This strategy worked like a charm. On such a chaotic and expansive battlefield, it was impossible for the enemies to learn from the deaths of their allies.

As such, ironically, the Long Chen-Su Ren duo had a much greater impact on the overall war situation than any of Damien's wives.

Speaking of Damien…

It was curious how the war could progress without any signs of his fight with the Dark God, was it not?

The Dark God existed in the folds of the Sacred Abyss Universe's space. Even if the two of them moved to a different plane, at least the initial impact would cause some sort of scene.

This kind of quiet made people assume that those two great beings had not yet met.

But everyone who thought that was wrong.

In fact, Damien approached the Dark God only minutes after the fighting started.

What happened between them…
