My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 575: The World-Shocking Sword
The clash between the Righteous Qi Sword and the Holy Light Shield sent out powerful shockwaves, even in this realm of light. The waves surged, and as holy light swirled, both combatants made their assessments after just one exchange and ceased further attacks.
"This sword contains the true essence of Confucianism, the essence of the sword path, and a fusion of two types of Rule Power," Divine Son Arthur remarked with a chuckle. "It's no wonder my subordinates fell before your blade."
Gu Lan's strike was indeed a threat to God Realm, but to Arthur, it was still insufficient. The Holy Light Shield contained immense power from the origin of light, and despite the infinite sword qi generated by the Righteous Qi Sword, it could not breach Arthur's defenses. To surpass the Holy Light Shield, one would need a cultivation level beyond Arthur's own.
At present, he stood at the late stage of God Realm, only a step away from its peak. It was undeniable that he was the foremost figure in the current Six Realms. Regarding talent and opportunities, nothing mattered in the face of absolute strength. No one would doubt that as Bright Clan Divine Son, his talents and chances were among the finest.
Having plundered the destinies of the Fire Clan and Thunder Clan, along with the destinies of eleven divine temples, the power he gathered was astonishing. He had secluded himself precisely to refine this destiny into his own strength. Now, Arthur felt an almost imperceptible connection to the world around him. Perhaps when his destiny reached a certain threshold, he would achieve a breakthrough.
At that time, he would be the sole ruler of the Six Realms, a true deity.
"Gu Lan, I will give you one last chance," Arthur's smile faded, and the oppressive force of God Realm poured forth unabated. The Holy Light Shield before him swelled tremendously, blocking the storm of sword qi that the Righteous Qi had manifested.
"Submit to me, and witness the arrival of a new world! Or die!"
Arthur ascended into the air, alighting upon the Holy Light Shield as though it were a throne, exuding a powerful aura that compelled submission.
In stark contrast, Gu Lan, clad in a simple blue robe, appeared inconsequential.
Countless forces in the surroundings watched this confrontation with keen interest. Many Divine Realm experts employed their divination techniques to glimpse Arthur's formidable powers, but upon witnessing the blinding light, they were forced to bleed from their eyes, suffering severe backlash. The majesty of a god could not be trivialized; Arthur would not allow anyone to pry.
"Divine Son Arthur is truly domineering!"
"If Bright Clan completes its Worlds-Cleaning Plan, will the Six Realms ever return to what they once were?"
A sense of bitter despair arose in the hearts of the onlookers, their spirits crushed. In the face of such overwhelming might, they lacked the courage to even gaze directly at him. No faction dared to aid the Temple of Destiny against the Bright Clan invasion, except for the Nine Heavens Alliance and Lanyan Royal School.
This was the harsh reality.
Even though everyone knew the Bright Clan was colluding with extraterrestrial entities, very few dared to oppose them at this moment of crisis.

"God Realm's power is indeed terrifying," Gu Lan thought, feeling immense pressure he had never experienced before. In Earthly Realm, he had always dominated others with absolute power, but this was his first encounter with such a disparity in strength. However, Gu Lan felt no inclination to retreat.
With the Rule of time and space at his command, he could have fled the moment Divine Son Arthur descended. But if he chose that path, he would forever leave a crack in his heart, making it impossible to face Arthur again without hesitation. Especially since he hadn't severed his own corpse yet, he couldn't afford such a flaw in his heart.
"What if he is a divine ruler?"
"I have a sword that can slay gods!"
Gu Lan raised his sword, the Hongmeng Sword, emitting a crisp ringing sound.
At this moment, he cast aside all techniques, the power of realms, the force of origins, and all Rule Powers. All that mattered now was the sword in his hand.
To the utmost in heart, to the utmost in sword!
Sword Twelve!
This was the first time Gu Lan unleashed Sword Twelve since acquiring this mysterious sword art. The radiant sword light surged forth with speed that surpassed light itself, transcending the very fabric of time and space, arriving before Divine Son Arthur.
This was the pinnacle of his swordsmanship.
With this one strike, the invulnerable Holy Light Shield shattered into nothingness.
"The ultimate of the sword path!"
Surprise flickered in Divine Son Arthur's eyes as he felt a tremor within him. Upon witnessing the Holy Light Shield being obliterated, he immediately summoned the Great Light Law to protect himself.
Yet before the Great Light Law could exert its power, it was pierced by the Sword Intent.
Light poured forth, the essence of light converged upon him, yet it still failed to thwart the impending doom.
With his heart unyielding, the Sword Intent remained eternal!
In an instant, the blade of light approached.
In that moment, Divine Son Arthur felt the chill of death's threat.
"God of Light, descend!"
He dared not hold back even a fraction. Surrounded by blinding radiance, the Great Light Law melded with his being.
Terrifying power surged through him, and he grew several times larger.
The origin power of light formed a golden armor around him, and he raised a golden sword, crossing it over his chest.
"To blaspheme the gods is to be punished!"
His golden eyes blazed with divine fury as he swung his sword to meet the incoming blade, shattering it inch by inch.
This strike was stronger than he could have ever imagined.
The sword shattered, but the momentum of the sword light did not wane.
In a split second, Arthur was pierced through the chest by the sword.
Unprecedented pain surged through him, leaving him in shock and disbelief.
The light-based law shattered silently.
The Sword Intent severed everything, and at that moment, time itself seemed to still.
In this world, everyone beheld this sword strike and the form of Divine Son Arthur beneath it.
A world-shocking sword that sent countless hearts soaring.
"Did that strike pierce Divine Son Arthur's divine form?"
"Is Arthur's myth of invincibility finally broken?"
The experts of Divine Realm, previously blinded, murmured in disbelief.
Amidst the chaos, Gu Lan's voice resonated through the realm.
"I am defeated!"
Gu Lan expressed no joy, quietly observing the hole in Divine Son Arthur's chest as the Hongmeng Sword gradually faded from his grasp.
His hair danced in the wind, transitioning from black to white in an instant.
Meanwhile, the gaping hole in Divine Son Arthur's chest began to gather light energy, slowly mending itself.
