The brand-new Eastern Emperor Sword was still interwoven with gold and black. The center of the blade was black, while the edges were gold. One side was engraved with the sun, moon, and stars representing "heaven," while the other bore mountains, rivers, and lakes representing "earth."
Unlike before, the nine gold-and-black stars embedded in the blade made this sword blaze with divine radiance, like the sword of a stellar emperor! The gold and black of the stars echoed the sword's dual colors perfectly.
Li Tianming reached out and gripped the familiar hilt. The majestic power from the new Eastern Emperor Sword instantly washed through his entire body!
Buzz! Buzz!
Li Tianming's wandering heavenly soul was instantly drawn into the world within the sword.
Li Tianming was especially familiar with the world inside the Eastern Emperor Sword. Once, five grand, majestic, mysterious gates had led him onto the road of the emperor.
This time, however, he discovered to his astonishment that the world within the sword had undergone an earth-shattering change!
First, the four gates of pale gold, deep gold, pale black, and deep black had all vanished.
They had represented the Eastern Emperor Sword's four abilities.
Eastern Emperor Vortex, Twin Swords United, Imperial Domain Sword Emperor Barrier, and Emperor Sword Prison!
The worlds beyond those gates had been the source of these four abilities.
Now that the four gates had vanished, did that mean the four abilities had disappeared as well?
Clearly, that was not the case. The Eastern Emperor Vortex beneath Li Tianming's astral wheels was still there, and it even felt considerably stronger.
Most importantly!
The colorless gate at the very center remained.
Except it was no longer colorless. One door panel was gold and the other black. Heavenly divine patterns flowed across them, making them even grander
