Sword God in a World of Magic

There was nothing the other three Empires could do.

After nearly 8,000 years, the secret weapon of the Lightning Manor had finally been unveiled.

Some of the Mage Emperors and Mage Kings had suspected that the Lightning Manor had someone with a sixfold Spirit Sense. After all, why would the Lightning Emperor ask for a war and a grand tournament otherwise?

The Lightning Emperor had to be confident, and only someone with a sixfold Spirit Sense could hope to resist King Sanctified Death.

And yet, the truth had been far more shocking than even that.

A warrior.

A warrior with a sixfold Spirit Sense.

When they had learned that Shang had achieved a fivefold Spirit Sense many years ago, they had already been beyond shocked.

After all, the warrior Path had been destroyed.

There were no inheritances.

There were no teachers.

And the only information about the ancient warrior Path was with the few Mage Emperors.

The Mage Kings and Mage Emperors didn't believe that the Lightning Emperor had created such a genius. After all, doing so went against many of the established and ancient rules.

The Mage God had said that no other Path was allowed to reach the Ninth Realm again, and the Lightning Emperor was the Mage God's closest companion. He would respect the Mage God's decision the most.

On top of that, creating such a genius artificially would cost wealth accumulated for thousands of years. Not even the Judgment Palace was willing to spend that much money.

Lastly, this was a warrior. Why would anyone want to teach and nurture a warrior like this?

Warriors as a whole were quite useful, as the war had proven, but a single warrior genius wasn't very useful.

This meant that this warrior must have been born naturally, and he must have come into contact with the Lightning Emperor later.

And yet, it was still more than shocking that the Lightning Emperor was actually willing to bet his entire Empire on a single warrior.

Now, one had to keep in mind that all of these things held true for a warrior with a fivefold Spirit Sense.

But now, they knew that Shang had a sixfold Spirit Sense.
