Endless wind and snow followed the Sword Intent, crashing towards the contemporary giant like waves.
Boom—!!!
A massive sound instantly echoed through the sky, as terrifying transparent Sword Intent surged like an overwhelming tide, exploding with a world-shattering ripple when two powers clashed.
Suddenly, all the Martial Soul cultivators found their breaths quickened, their hearts leaped into their throats.
A fight between Saints, perhaps a spectacle never witnessed by countless cultivators in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region in their lifetimes, left them gasping one after another.
For cultivators, witnessing such a supreme duel often yields enlightenment, which is one reason why millions of cultivators traveled inexhaustible distances to witness it.
Yet, just when the spectators believed the Sword Saint and the highly-renowned contemporary giant were about to unleash an epic battle, they were taken aback to see the latter suddenly sent flying, coughing up blood amid the deafening roar.
Moreover, the terrifying Sword Intent instantly dismantled the giant’s power, neutralizing it effortlessly, as the infinite and unseen Sword Intent swept through, remarkably divine.
In an instant, the ’thud thud’ sounds were unending, as it seemed numerous transparent Divine Swords penetrated the giant’s body, leaving horrendous gash marks, causing blood to flow instantly.
At a particular moment, a formless sword struck the center of the giant’s forehead, piercing through and delivering a fatal blow.
That moment, countless cultivators glimpsed a sword, an unmatched invisible sword, easily penetrating the giant’s sea of consciousness.
The terrifying giant’s body, mid-air from the brow penetration, trembled entirely, eyes overwhelmed with terror, gradually losing vitality, finally plummeting from the peak of the sky during its backward flight.
This fall marked the demise of the contemporary giant in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region.
All of this seemingly unfolded slowly, yet it was merely an instant, swift enough to leave countless cultivators in astonishment.
Until a few moments later.
Swoosh—!!!
In an instant.
Countless figures abruptly rose, staring dazedly at the spectacle atop the void, eyes filled with inexhaustible astonishment, even those legendary contemporary giants and ancient Saints standing quietly at the region’s edge were stunned, eyes filled with disbelief.
The most shocked, however, were those below the Entering the Saint Realm, left utterly dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning, completely frozen.
After a prolonged time.
"Impossible, how could this be?"
"In just one encounter, he died like that?"
"It’s impossible, impossible, this can’t be."
Countless cultivators frantically shook their heads, eyes filled with endless thunder, as though this scene shattered some profound recognition within them, unable to accept it.
"But he was a giant of the Saint Realm, a powerful Saint, a supreme existence, how could he die like this?"
Evidently, in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region, and even throughout the Martial Soul Continent, Entering the Saint Realm powers were recognized in the cultivation realm as the first insurmountable mountain; even for giants battling giants, it’s impossible to slay the other in a mere moment.
Yet now, this world-shocking figure hadn’t even ’made a move,’ even as that eminent giant’s corpse had plummeted from the highest heavens, not once moved.
"Just by releasing a Sword Intent, he instantly slew a supreme giant?"
In a moment, countless cultivators seemed thunderstruck, gasping, questioning if this was indeed the First Generation Sword Saint, who weighed down the supreme level across the Hundred Broken Mountain Range’s landscape.
Not only were the millions of cultivators utterly shocked, but even those vast arrays of contemporary giants and ancient entities were stunned, eyes moved.
"Sword Saint!"
An ancient giant struggling on its last breath gazed at the encompassed sky and couldn’t help muttering those two words, feeling dry-mouthed, as though this Sword Intent once again showcased what is sword, what is saint, what is—Sword Saint!
Being a Sword Saint isn’t merely a title; it’s not just reaching the pinnacle of Sword Dao cultivation as a Sword Cultivator, countless Sword Cultivators may reach the ultimate extreme, yet only those few can become Sword Saints, a rarity across vast ages.
A Sword Saint isn’t merely a title, but a – Dao Fruit!
Yet even so, several hundred years ago, the understanding of Sword Saint among the Hundred Broken Mountain Range’s populace was far from this stage.
In their hearts, the Sword Saint of that time indeed dominated the entire region, but couldn’t possibly attain such a level, solely with Intent could it slay a fellow giant of the Entering the Saint Realm, an intensely chilling sight.
While countless cultivators were petrified, a world-shocking giant suddenly revealed its mystery.
"Even now, Sword Saint’s realm in people’s minds still rests on hundreds of years ago, neglecting that since returning to the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, he hasn’t made another move."
This statement awakened many world-shocking giants, reminding them of when the Sword Saint left the region upon royal invitation, participating in the dynasty’s battle, overturning the situation, and that departure lasted several decades.
Several decades might be a fifth of life for ordinary cultivators, yet to Saint Realm giants, it’s merely a brief segment of an extensive age, easily overlooked.
