The Disciples of The Sun Boar Sect were standing in front of an insurmountable mountnious Palace. It was a place of immense luxury wih thousands of workers.
Not only were they from the sect, there were also tens of First tier sects and hundereds of second rate sects which were affliated to The Sun Boar Sect or had something against Xian Li.
It was The Immense Palace of The Unparalleled One.
They were not at the least afraid of the person they were going agains even after knowing who it was. This courage was gotten due to a Unveil they had heard.
The Divine Sky Prophecy!
The Four Elders Of Divine Sky had revealed a very big secret of Xian Li, The Unparalleled One. Elders reveal prophecy of Celestial Blade bringing downfall to its wielder.
This caused a Huge sensation in The Immortal Realm. Many people were enthusiastic and happy thinking about the downfall of Xian Li whom they thought 'too young' to be a ruler.
Inside The Immense Palace Of The Unparalleled One.
Xian Li wore the Grand Celestial Armor, crafted from rare starmetal and marked with ancient runes. It shone with a soft golden light, strong enough to withstand any blow, yet light as a feather. A white cloak flowed behind him, said to be woven from the winds of the Immortal Realm.
As he picked his Celestial Blade, He felt a strange threads holding him down and draining energy from him. He sighed as a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Looks like someone has chosen to show its true colors at a important moment."
He had been thinking about this so called curse ever since the spar. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. So, at the end he decided to finally part himself with his Blade after fighting the last battle with it.
Heaing screams from outside, his expression grew solemn.
"Shall we go fight our last battle together, my old friend."
Outside..
The army of Billions was ready to fight The Battle of The Sun Boar and Xian Li. I was given the name of...
The Sundering of Heaven's Ruler!
From atop of the highest tower, Xian Li, as leisurely as one could be, walked out of the highest tower of the palace. He flew slowly down emmiting an aura of an Unparalleled being.
No one spoke a word, until he finally reached enough height from the ground.
Xian Li stood with the Celestial Blade resting at his back, his hands calm and steady. His gaze never wavered as the army approached.
With a soft exhale, he simply said,
"Come."
At the head of the vast army, stood The grand Elder of The Sun Boar Sect. Raising his hand, his voice echoed like the war drums.
"Take down the False Ruler. Let The Heavens choose a new heir!"
And with that cry, the army surged forward—countless cultivators unleashing techniques that lit the skies with flame, lightning and other elements.
The first strike came, and without moving his blade from its place, Xian Li deflected the blow with ease, sending the attacker crashing to the ground. The slaughter continued but no one was able come in the range of 500 meters of him.
"Not now.... Let this battle end."
Xian Li touched his heart as he felt the chains of the curse tightening. The curse tugged at him, but for now, he was in control.
Xian Li's eyes remained steady—focused. The curse was heavy, yes, but he would not let it take him yet. Not in this moment.
"It is not my end today." He muttered.
The battle raged on, but the Celestial Blade's light grew dimmer and dimmer with each passing moment with the curse tightening its grip.
As the battle wore on, the ranks of the Sun Boar Sect and their allies began to thin. Xian Li moved like a storm, his Celestial Blade cutting through the waves of attackers with quiet precision. But the curse was becoming harder to ignore. Each step, each movement, felt heavier. His energy drained, but his resolve held firm.
Then, the ground trembled.
From the back of the army, the Four Elders of the Divine Sky appeared, flanked by their most powerful disciples. Accompanying them were the Sect Masters of The Martal Sect, The Sun Boar Sect and The Dragon Myst Academy which was one of the two academies in the realm.
Their presence alone darkened the sky.
"Xian Li! You have danced with fate long enough. Now, face the weight of your greed." The other leaders except The Four Elders of The Divine Sky rushed towards him. But Xian Li, instead of being angry and cautious, amusingly said.
"Finally! Something interesting."
