Emperor Xuanyuan followed the direction with his gaze, his eyes suddenly widened, and his body trembled. He exclaimed, "Sword Heart?"

It turned out that at some unknown time, a golden miniature sword had appeared above Lin Feng's head, emitting a sharpness that made heaven and earth tremble.

The woman in white nodded slightly, "That's right, it is the Sword Heart."

Emperor Xuanyuan suddenly understood, "So that's how it is. I really didn't expect this little fellow to be so lucky."

The woman in white said, "You have guarded the Xuanyuan Divine Sword for ten thousand years. Now that the true owner of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword has appeared, you are free."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanyuan sighed deeply, his profound eyes showing a complex expression. "Ten thousand years of wish, ten thousand years of guarding, ten thousand years of waiting, how can it be so easy to let go..."

After a moment of contemplation, his gaze became even more profound. "This sword is a symbol of the revival of our Human Race. Now that it has a true master, it is about to emerge and spread the might of our Human Race. How can I not witness it?"

"Moreover, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword must have the Sword Heart, Sword Spirit, and Sword Core combined to unleash its true power. I am willing to transform into the Sword Core to help our Human Race revive."

"You, why must you do this..." The woman in white was stunned, a look of pity on her face. "Do you know what it means to transform into the Sword Core?"

Emperor Xuanyuan nodded, "No consciousness, no soul, complete annihilation."

As he spoke, a look of deep determination appeared on his face, "But I have no regrets. To witness the prosperous era of the Human Race's rise, I am fortunate for three lifetimes!"

A look of respect rose on the woman in white's delicate face, "Good! I promise you..."

Before she finished speaking, she pointed a finger towards the Xuanyuan Divine Sword on the altar.

"Buzz!"

As the golden light from her finger entered the sword, the ancient sword body trembled violently. Myriad golden lights surged out from the sword.

In an instant, the entire Xuanyuan Tomb turned into a golden ocean, filled with a sharpness that overshadowed heaven and earth.

The originally dark and ancient scabbard had now seeped a layer of gold, making it radiant and lustrous, as if it had broken free from its cocoon.

On the thick and long hilt, the ancient runes instantly turned golden. Each rune, exuding a profound aura, danced like sprites, quickly detaching from the hilt and hovering around it, rotating automatically.

Just then, the golden miniature sword above Lin Feng's head let out a joyful hum, then flew into the void, echoing the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

The next second.

A dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from the miniature sword.

This light made heaven and earth lose their color, even dimming the golden light emitted by the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

Soon.

The miniature sword slowly moved towards the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, but stopped abruptly when it was an inch away.

At that moment, both swords let out a clear and resonant sword cry, and with a whoosh, they merged into one.

Then, the golden light gradually disappeared.

At this point, the woman in white suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter filled with excitement and joy.

However, in the end, it was tinged with sobs.

Emperor Xuanyuan also let out a loud laugh, but as he laughed, his eyes reddened, filled with tears.

He looked at Lin Feng and nodded with satisfaction, "This little fellow is a prodigy. With such low strength, he could still enter the Unity of Heaven, Earth, and Man realm so quickly. I was far inferior to him back then."

Hearing this, the woman in white rolled her eyes, "Is there any comparison between you and him?"

As she spoke, she proudly lifted her small head, "You were only temporarily assigned back then, but he is now actively in control. There is a fundamental difference between the two."

After a slight pause, she added, "In terms of talent, he is also much stronger than you."

Emperor Xuanyuan: "..."

The woman in white said, "This kid has a stubborn streak and refuses to admit defeat. He can make rational judgments even in desperate situations. His state of mind is firm enough, and he knows how to choose in the face of major right and wrong. Overall, he's not bad."

As she said this, she frowned slightly, "It's just that he's a bit stubborn, and I feel like his brain isn't quite up to par. He still doesn't know who the true self is, causing chaos in the sect..."

Seeing the woman in white's displeased expression, Emperor Xuanyuan's mouth twitched fiercely. He thought that although this aunt was protective, her temper was a bit terrifying.

He glanced at Lin Feng, who was in meditation, and thinking of the future encounters of the latter, he couldn't help but smile happily.

"Actually, I think he's quite smart. He was able to comprehend my words so quickly, so his brain is definitely sufficient."

His expression turned serious, unable to hide his pride, "Moreover, with his low strength, he was able to reach the Unity of Man and Heaven realm, to stand firm under that immense pressure, and to completely integrate into that world."

"This shows that in addition to sufficient courage and wisdom, he also possesses an unshakeable will and peak comprehension."

"To achieve this at his age, there is probably no one else like him."

The woman in white seemed to recall something unpleasant and glared at Lin Feng, who was in meditation, "In my opinion, he just doesn't have enough brains..."

Speaking of which, she changed the subject, "As for you..."

Emperor Xuanyuan smiled and shook his head, "After the battle back then, I only had a wisp of remnant soul left. To be able to fulfill my wish at the last moment is enough for this life."

As he spoke, his expression turned serious, filled with anticipation and excitement, and he slowly swept his gaze across the Burial Sword Tomb, "Now that demons are rampant and the world is in chaos, it is time for the Xuanyuan Divine Sword to show its edge..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Xuanyuan transformed into a beam of light and entered the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

Inside the Xuanyuan Tomb.

Lin Feng still stood there like a wooden sculpture, maintaining the posture of holding the giant hilt of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword with both hands.

However, the golden light radiating from him was already identical to the golden light emitted by the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

And the hilt of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword had completely turned golden at this moment.

The golden runes drifting in the air all stopped, erupting with an even sharper aura and transforming into liquid energy.

Just then, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword let out a sword cry.

The profound runes, now in the form of liquid energy, seemed to descend as if following an order, visibly and rapidly merging into Lin Feng's surroundings.

Suddenly, his motionless body trembled violently.

Immediately after, his brows furrowed tightly.

At this very moment, a small gash opened on his forehead, and a drop of golden blood seeped out, landing precisely on the thick, long hilt of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

Almost simultaneously, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, as if waking from a deep dream, his expression somewhat dazed.

However, his eyes had turned golden, and his gaze was like tangible golden light.

At this moment, an aura of kingship permeated his entire being.

He stood there, like a monarch ruling over all things, his golden gaze seemingly surveying all living beings.

After the golden light in his eyes vanished, Lin Feng's hands, gripping the sword hilt, began to slowly draw upwards, and at the same time, a clear and high-pitched sword cry suddenly resounded.
