The Strongest War God

Chapter 1997: Heading Outside Chapter 1997: Heading Outside Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation One could imagine the pressure the Cosmos Ancient Palace was facing.

At this moment, in front of this ancient palace, transcendents appeared from time to time, seeking to pass through and enter this universe.

Braydon Neal descended.

“Why are you here?” the Bright Lord asked, both shocked and angry.

“Not a transcendent yet?” The Frost Lord’s true body was similarly shocked and furious.

Braydon’s appearance offered no help here.  If his identity were exposed and his old enemies came, it would spell enormous trouble for the Cosmos Ancient Palace.

For countless years, high-level, supreme transcendent experts paid little attention to Heather Sage’s universe.

This was because the supreme treasures needed for a high-level transcendent expert to break through were mostly found in places like the Nine Illusion Sea.

The creatures attacking the Cosmos Ancient Palace were generally low-level transcendents, hoping to enter the great cosmos and try their luck in finding items left by the founder.

Now, Braydon had arrived here and was already beside the Bright Lord’s true body.

As he chuckled, a small sword appeared in his hand.

The sword expanded into a three-foot blade.

The moment he gripped the hilt, a terrifying sword intent was unleashed.

Braydon displayed his formidable battle prowess.

Though he was at the immortal celestial realm, his strength had increased significantly from before.

His Dharma Nation had also advanced further.

The 100,000 Dharma Idols merged with his body, raising his realm several times over.

Along with his unmatched sword path, his battle strength could rival the Bright Lord’s true body.

Braydon slashed with his sword.

The light of the blade seemed to be Braydon’s strongest attack.

The Bright Lord’s true body stepped back.

The deer-horned youth’s expression changed slightly as he took the attack head-on.

“He hasn’t yet entered the transcendent realm, but his combat strength matches that of a level three.

Is he a genius nurtured by that universe?” The Cosmos Ancient Palace safeguarded the peace of the great cosmos.

Moreover, Braydon had yet to enter the transcendent realm.

The antlered creature had reason to believe Braydon was a genius from another universe.

The antlered creature completely blocked Braydon’s sword.

A being that relied on its own body to transcend was indeed terrifying.

Such beings were far superior to transcendents who broke through by external means.

A level three transcendent who transcended on his own would not be disadvantaged against a level four who relied on external methods.

The two engaged in fierce combat.

“Sword Surge!” Braydon murmured.

Instantly, the world filled with sword light.

The sword light enveloped a radius of 100,000 miles.

Each sword light, sharp and deadly, seemed like Braydon’s strongest attack.

The antlered creature had easily taken Braydon’s sword earlier.

But now, who knew how easily he could face these ten million sword lights?

The radiance swept out like a galaxy.

The antlered creature, shocked and furious, felt a chilling cold and revealed its armor.

A third-level eon artifact!

Black Cloud Armor!

The eon artifact protected him, allowing the sword light to rage without harm.

Braydon observed calmly, aware that without breaking the Black Cloud Armor, he couldn’t hurt the antlered creature.

He held the three-foot black sword firmly and murmured, “Return!” Swoosh!

Millions of sword lights circled Braydon.

The ten thousand swords merged into the black sword in his hand.

The blade emitted a sharp aura.

Braydon’s figure became a blur as he stepped forward, leaving nine afterimages behind.

The nine supremes returned to one.

Braydon’s killing intent was especially fearsome.

The blade arrived in an instant.

“No ordinary weapon can break an eon artifact!” The antlered creature was confident.

Eon artifacts were weapons exclusive to transcendents, with a formidable defense.

Nothing in the universe, divine or immortal, could match it.

“Who said my sword is ordinary?” The small black sword had been crafted by a mysterious creature.

It could kill a level eleven transcendent.

Its quality likely surpassed that of an eon artifact.

However, Braydon couldn’t yet unleash its full power.

The sword struck.

It pierced the Black Cloud Armor, splitting it into three parts.

A drop of blood seeped from the gap between the sword and the armor.

“How is that possible?” The antlered creature, shocked, unleashed his power.

The terrifying transcendent force surged like a tidal wave, throwing Braydon back and nearly injuring him.

Though Braydon’s offensive power was formidable, his physical body was a vulnerability.

So weak that a transcendent’s power could kill him.

Both were injured.

Braydon’s full-strength technique could wound a level three transcendent expert.

If nothing unexpected happened, a level two transcendent expert was no match for Braydon.

During this time, Braydon’s strength had grown immensely.

However, among transcendents, the gap between level one and level two was vast, like clouds and earth—ten thousandfold different.

A one-level difference was like the divide between clouds and mud.

The Bright Lord appeared instantly, trying to hold back the antlered creature.

However, to truly hold back a transcendent expert, one had to be at least one level higher.

Alternatively, an instant kill was the only option.

Otherwise, they couldn’t be restrained.

The deer-horned youth wore a grim expression.  His Black Cloud Armor was damaged, and he’d been injured by the sword’s intent.  If he didn’t retreat now, he’d likely die here.

He swiftly pulled back.

“Why are you here?” the Bright Lord’s true body demanded, frowning at Braydon.

“If your identity is exposed, the Cosmos Ancient Palace will be destroyed.” The Frost Lord stepped forward and warned, “Many of your old enemies still live.

Many level nine creatures.

If they attack, we’ll be helpless.” “I came by just to look.

I won’t stay long.” Braydon knew his presence would bring trouble.

The Bright Lord’s true body and others in the ancient palace could barely withstand a low-level transcendent expert.  A high-level one would overwhelm them.

The group entered the ancient palace.

The white-robed Grand Supreme looked coldly at Braydon without speaking.

In this life, Braydon was Braydon.

Lukyan Flerov, Idris Kalman and others of the past were part of a bygone era.

“Where is Sadie?” Braydon asked softly.

“She’s cultivating her own path,” replied the Grand Supreme.

She and Sadie Dudley would eventually merge.

But Sadie’s cultivation was too low for that yet.

Once they merged, who would lead?

Braydon hoped Sadie would lead.

Just then, the true bodies of the five lords and hundreds of others appeared.

They’d guarded the Cosmos Ancient Palace for eons.

It was their duty to protect this place and stop transcendents from beyond.

“They’ll return soon,” Braydon said.  “If you stay, you’ll only burden the ancient palace.” The Bright Lord’s true body said calmly.

Braydon’s identity was still a secret, so he couldn’t linger in the Cosmos Ancient Palace.

If word got out, his strength alone wouldn’t suffice against all his ancient enemies.

It would spell disaster for the ancient palace.

Braydon chuckled, “I won’t stay long.

There’s no one in the universe who can defeat me.

I come only to hone myself.” “Your cultivation has just reached the immortal celestial realm?” The Frost Lord’s true body looked astonished.

He was still in the immortal celestial realm, yet his strength equaled that of a level three transcendent.

If he entered the transcendent realm, it would be terrifying!

Braydon didn’t elaborate on his cultivation path.
