Despite fully mastering the Saber of Oblivion and unleashing a new level of power, Wu Yuan still found himself at a slight disadvantage against the Heavenly Imperator’s second move.0

Even as he sensed the Heavenly Imperator's terrifying might, Wu Yuan remained confident he could withstand a third attack. His assurance stemmed from the intelligence gathered when Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu battled the Heavenly Imperator in the Realm of Destruction. At his strongest, the Imperator could invoke a special Dao resonance that dramatically increased his attack power, allowing him to overpower Hou Tu.0

Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu had long suspected that this resonance came from a Supreme Divine Object, the Original Sword, though she couldn't confirm it. Wu Yuan only became absolutely certain that the Heavenly Imperator was a first-tier Archon of the Original Sword after learning of it from the Blood Emperor and Dream Emperor.0

The Heavenly Imperator had likely been close to controlling the Original Sword then. While that strand of Dao resonance greatly enhanced his power, it didn’t cause a qualitative change. He couldn't truly transcend the stage of Dao Zenithel power.0

But now, Wu Yuan watched in disbelief as the Heavenly Imperator directly summoned the Original Sword. Was he actually controlling it?0

Controlling one of the Three Supreme Divine Objects? No! Thoughts...0
