Xuanyuan Sword Smashes Mountains and Rivers!

"Is that a spirit?!"

Looking up at the Xuanyuan Sword floating in midair, Hu Liena was stunned!

Su Yuntao had once told her that Zhou Chen's spirit was a mysterious golden humanoid figure.

But now, what had appeared before her was a simple yet ancient golden longsword!

Twin Spirits!

Zhou Chen was actually a Twin Spirit wielder, just like her teacher, Bi Bi Dong—something seen only once in a century!

No wonder his Innate Soul Power was so strong!

Like Hu Liena, all the Black-Clad People were also frozen in shock.

As Royal Secret Guards of the Star Luo Empire, they had carried out countless missions. They had long since become cold-blooded and ruthless, their hearts as hard as iron.

Yet, as they looked at the golden ancient sword before them, dazzling as the sun, they did not know why, but they felt an extraordinary fear, like mice seeing a cat.

Some of the more weak-willed Black-Clad People even began to slowly retreat!

What they did not know was that their reaction was entirely due to the Might of the Sacred Path contained within the Xuanyuan Sword!

The Might of the Sacred Path could deter all evil and wickedness!

"Don't retreat!"

"Steady yourselves! There's something strange about that sword!"

"Everyone, attack at once! Don't be afraid! No matter how strong his spirit is, he's just a child!"

The Black-Clad People's leader shouted repeatedly, finally jolting the dozens of Black-Clad People awake. They once again charged madly toward Zhou Chen!

Meanwhile, the Black-Clad People's leader unleashed five soul skills at once!

He had a premonition: if this strike failed to kill Zhou Chen, then they would all die here today!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Soul skills brimming with terrifying energy swept down like a storm, battering the Golden Light Pillar protecting Zhou Chen and Hu Liena until it swayed precariously.

Faced with such a desperate situation, Hu Liena's face turned pale. Zhou Chen, however, remained unmoved and even closed his eyes.

It was not because Zhou Chen was truly calm, nor was he preparing some ultimate move. At that moment, he simply could not control the Xuanyuan Sword, and he was asking the System about it.

"System, why can't I use this sword?" Zhou Chen asked anxiously.

"Ding... The Xuanyuan Sword is the Yellow Emperor's personal sword. Naturally, only the Yellow Emperor can wield it."

"I understand."

Hearing the System's words, Zhou Chen immediately understood.

Since only the Yellow Emperor could use this sword, he would summon his Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor Spirit to control the Xuanyuan Sword!

"Possession!"

Zhou Chen abruptly opened his eyes. In the next instant, a golden giant several zhang tall suddenly appeared behind him!

The giant wore a Twelve-Stringed Jade Crown and an Apricot-Yellow Gold-Gilded Robe. Around him floated phantom images of mountains, rivers, vegetation, the sun, moon, and stars!

Buzz!

The moment the golden giant appeared, the Xuanyuan Sword let out a series of joyful sword cries. The next second, this sword of the Sacred Path shot through the air and landed in Zhou Chen's hand!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The instant Zhou Chen gripped the Xuanyuan Sword, streaks of golden lightning tore across the sky, turning the night into day!

The golden lightning was like a signal. In the next moment, endless energy seemed to answer its summons, surging toward the Xuanyuan Sword like the mighty Yangtze River!

In an instant, an immeasurable amount of tremendous energy gathered within the Xuanyuan Sword!

At the same time, seven words appeared in Zhou Chen's mind.

Those seven words represented a sword technique belonging exclusively to the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor!

"Xuanyuan Sword Smashes Mountains and Rivers!"

A dreamlike murmur sounded. In the next moment, Zhou Chen raised the Xuanyuan Sword high, then, with speed too swift to follow, drove it into the ground in a backhanded strike!

BOOM!!

In an instant, the entire earth began to tremble. Centered on Zhou Chen, dense spiderweb-like cracks spread in every direction!

And this was only the beginning!

The next second, the Xuanyuan Sword erupted with blazing golden light. At first, that light was only a tiny point, but it rapidly expanded. Within moments, it became a massive sphere of light, like the sun itself, causing the stars to vanish and the moon to dim!

In the blink of an eye, intense heat and radiant light engulfed everything within a thousand meters!

The soil was vaporized, rocks melted away, and trees disintegrated. Other than Hu Liena, whom Zhou Chen had deliberately ordered the System to protect, everything on the ground was vanishing.

Most of the Black-Clad People were reduced to nothing by the intense heat and light from the very beginning. Only two Soul Kings above level 50, along with the Black-Clad People's leader, whose strength had reached level 62 Soul Emperor, were still struggling to hold on.

However, after only a few seconds, the two Soul Kings were burned completely away, leaving not even ashes behind. The sight frightened the Black-Clad People's leader into using his final trump card!

"Sixth Soul Skill—White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

By then, the Black-Clad People's leader's clothes had been completely burned away by the intense heat and light, and even his skin was severely scorched. But when he unleashed his Sixth Soul Skill, everything changed!

His burned skin instantly healed, and black stripes appeared across it, identical to a tiger's hide. His body also swelled once more, his muscles bulging exaggeratedly as he grew to nearly three meters tall!

Most remarkably, his entire body was shrouded in a powerful golden glow, as though his skin had been plated in gold!

"Kid, you want to kill me? Dream on!"

Seeing himself recover, the Black-Clad People's leader was instantly filled with confidence. He actually believed he could turn the tables, charging straight at Zhou Chen through the intense heat and light released by the Xuanyuan Sword!

Three seconds later, he too turned to ash.

The Royal Secret Guards of the Star Luo Empire had been completely wiped out!

No one knew how much time passed before the intense heat and light, along with the violent trembling of the earth, finally subsided.

The hellish, apocalyptic scene was finally revealed!

Within a thousand meters, everything on the ground had ceased to exist. The soil had been scorched into glass-like crystals, and even the nearby river had been evaporated! The earth itself had been utterly shattered!

Massive fissures hundreds of meters long and bottomless in depth could be seen everywhere. Pillars of crimson magma surged violently from the blazing depths below!

Hu Liena stared blankly at everything before her. Her bloodless lips trembled, but she could not say a single word. The way she looked at Zhou Chen was filled with terror.

"Xuanyuan Sword... Mountains and Rivers Shatter."

Hu Liena softly repeated the seven words Zhou Chen had just spoken.

She had thought they were merely an exaggeration. Never in her wildest dreams had she expected that the mountains and rivers had truly shattered!
