Whoosh!

Dazzling golden light burst outward from the gaps between the sword hilt and the blade.

Rumble—

In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains swayed!

The mysterious sword body was slowly pulled out, centimeter by centimeter, and the golden light that burst forth grew stronger and stronger.

Just then, within the Xuanyuan Tomb, the originally bright sky suddenly darkened, quickly becoming so dark that one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.

Space froze at this moment.

The next second.

In the ink-black sky, a golden sun abruptly rose.

Immediately after, a golden moon appeared, facing it from afar.

Then, countless stars filled the entire sky.

In the distance, majestic mountains rose from the ground, dense with ancient, towering trees, and green vegetation covered the entire mountain range. The sound of rushing water, birdsong, and fragrant flowers…

Brought vibrant life to this once silent world…

Even further away, crowds dressed in ancient attire appeared, filled with laughter and joy. Women were raising their children and managing the household, while men were diligently farming and hunting, a scene of prosperity…

Lin Feng couldn't help but freeze upon seeing this. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

What the heck is this?

Am I hallucinating?

He subconsciously lowered his head, his gaze, as solid as substance, locking onto the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

At this moment, Lin Feng's mind trembled violently, and he muttered to himself, "The sun, moon, and stars on one side, mountains and forests on the other… do you represent a world?"

A moment later.

Lin Feng seemed to understand something. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he exerted force with both hands, swinging upwards with a mighty heave.

"Clang!"

"Boom!"

The entire Xuanyuan Tomb trembled, and a clear, resonant sword cry echoed. The broad Xuanyuan Divine Sword was drawn from its sheath.

Gripping the hilt with both hands, Lin Feng's bright, piercing gaze was fixed on the sword in his hand, his thoughts racing.

At this time, all sorts of wondrous sensations flooded him.

"You've never seen the world before…"

Just then, a cold, clear voice sounded.

Lin Feng: "…"

He was startled by the sudden voice. Snapping back to attention, he abruptly turned his head to look towards the source of the sound, finding no one. "You, why are you everywhere…"

Lin Feng recognized the voice. The owner of this voice was the Sword Spirit who had appeared in that vision.

"Because I am invincible, I am omnipresent…"

Lin Feng: "…"

The Sword Spirit said, "The time for your powerful rise has arrived."

Her tone became serious. "From this moment until your death, I will forever guard you and accompany you to the pinnacle of the universe!"

"You…" Lin Feng was somewhat bewildered.

The Sword Spirit said, "You have too many questions."

Lin Feng: "…"

As Lin Feng was speechless, a feeling of being connected by blood to the Xuanyuan Divine Sword arose spontaneously.

He froze for a moment, then seemed to understand, laughing heartily, "I will also protect you forever!"

The Sword Spirit said, "Who wants your eternal protection? Don't disgrace the Xuanyuan Divine Sword…"

Lin Feng muttered, "Aren't you the Xuanyuan Divine Sword?"

Before he could finish speaking, a point of golden light suddenly shot out from his brow, instantly merging into the sheath of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

Instantly.

The golden, gleaming sheath flew out of the stone hole and reunited with the sword body.

"Whoosh!"

With a flash of light, the sword in his hand transformed into a golden streak, instantly disappearing into Lin Feng's brow.

"Rumble—"

At the same time, the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently.

Lin Feng's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously looked down.

He saw that the plaza beneath his feet had developed shocking cracks, which were now spreading rapidly like a spiderweb...

What the heck is going on?

Lin Feng was completely bewildered.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, Lin Feng was inexplicably lifted into the air, supported by an invisible, mysterious force.

Listening to the continuous rumbling sounds, watching the giant plaza crumble and disappear piece by piece... while mountains, rivers, and scenes of daily life flickered around him... The sun, moon, and stars in the sky grew brighter and brighter.

Lin Feng was momentarily lost in thought.

He felt as if he had dreamt it, had he truly obtained the strongest sword?

"Don't think you're invincible just because you've obtained the Xuanyuan Divine Sword,"

The Sword Spirit, hidden in the void, couldn't help but get angry seeing Lin Feng's dazed expression. "And don't think that by obtaining it, you can become the second Emperor Xuanyuan or a peerless mighty figure."

She seemed disappointed in his lack of ambition. "You must remember, nothing in this world can be obtained without effort."

"Even though the Xuanyuan Divine Sword is the strongest sword, if you want to unleash its power, you first need to have enough strength to support it yourself."

"Otherwise, you won't be able to activate it at all, and it will be no different from scrap metal."

She added, "Besides, you obtained it with my help. Your strength hasn't reached the required level, so you can't even use it for a single strike."

Hearing this, Lin Feng was instantly dumbfounded, a dark line appearing on his forehead. "Then what's the difference between getting it and not getting it?"

"Is your IQ really that pathetic?"

The Sword Spirit immediately became furious upon hearing this and berated him, "You can't control it now, but I didn't say you never will. Once your strength reaches a certain level, you'll naturally be able to use it."

Her tone was somewhat arrogant. "Moreover, the attack power unleashed in that instant is amplified tens of times over, allowing you to kill enemies several major realms higher. It's not a problem."

"In this universe, besides the Pangu Axe, which can barely be compared, any other divine weapon or sharp weapon is trash in front of it."

Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded. "I roughly understand... So, even though I can't unleash its power, it's still a good sword for chopping vegetables and melons..."

"Shut up!"

"Good what?"

"What's good about it? What do you understand?!"

Hearing this, the Sword Spirit almost couldn't resist rushing out of the void to slap Lin Feng twice, angrily exclaiming:

"This is outrageous! The Xuanyuan Divine Sword not only possesses infinite power of the universe but is also the nemesis of all demons and monsters, striking fear into their hearts. Even those ridiculously powerful demons have to detour when they see it, yet you want to use it for chopping vegetables and melons?"

As she spoke, a strange smile appeared on her peerless face, hidden in the void. "But after all, you are its master. If you want to chop vegetables and melons, no one will stop you."

"It's just that outsiders are extremely covetous of this sword. Even mighty figures at the Venerable level would fight tooth and nail for it. If they found out, your life might be forfeit."

Hearing this, Lin Feng's face turned black. "Then I don't want this Xuanyuan Divine Sword anymore."

This was too much of a scam!

It was bad enough that he couldn't use it, but it was also a hot potato. Most importantly, if he wasn't careful, he could lose his life!

He instantly understood that obtaining the Xuanyuan Divine Sword was not a good thing at all, but rather a terrible misfortune!

Although he had the System, ever since entering the Xuanyuan Tomb, the System, which had been so lively before, had completely vanished. It was obvious even with his eyes closed that the System couldn't contend with the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

This was clearly like finding a living ancestor!
