Yunjin Barren Ruins, the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor!
Inside the Myriad Spirit Ring.
When Abyss Ao appeared in the lake transformed by the Ten Thousand Waters Dao Source Lotus, it felt the rich and pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and its body felt extremely comfortable.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and jumped into the lake to cultivate in seclusion.
The Peak Fifth-grade is within reach!
Outside, the Wavebreaker continues its relentless journey Endless Sea.
The sun rises and the moon sets, the tide comes and goes.
The aura left behind by the Abyss Ao served as a deterrent, and indeed, there were far fewer troubles along the way.
Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
South Sea Immortal Continent.
Yunjin Barren Ruins.
Above the Cloud Line.
There is no sun or moon here, and no four seasons.
Inside the Hall of Inheritance of the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor.
Gray-gold sword clouds covered the endless void, and countless sword marks stretched across the sky like a galaxy.
Each sword mark contains Sword Intent capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
Deep within the Sword Clouds, a towering imperial sword platform stands silently, with no steps around it, only a broken ancient sword stuck in the center.
On the jet-black blade, faint crimson sword patterns appeared.
Zhang Xuance stood cross-legged on the high platform of the Imperial Sword.
He was no longer the same person he was when he first entered the Cloud Line six years ago.
Over the past six years, during the first trial, the Thousand Swords Bury the Dao, he endured the piercing of ten thousand swords, erasing distracting thoughts, tempering his sword bones, and successfully comprehending the Heaven-Burying Sword Intent.
In the second trial, the Illusory Sword Realm, I coldly observe the vanity of the world!
Knowing that prosperity is fleeting, obsession is a bondage, and desire is a calamity, only by remaining true to one's original aspirations can one wield the sword without retreating!
Concentrate your sword eyes and comprehend the divine sword Divine Ability — Sword Silence in One Thought!
With a single sword strike, all laws fall silent!
Break through the second trial.
At this moment, his white clothes were stained red with blood, his long hair was disheveled, and his body was covered with sword marks.
Each wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and one could even see the sword light slowly flowing within them.
Yet he still gripped the central ancient sword tightly.
The third trial begins – the Eternal Sword Debt!
He inherited the karmic force of the Heaven-Burying and received the legacy of the Sword Emperor!
Within Zhang Xuance's sea of consciousness, endless black vengeful spirits let out mournful roars!
"Kill!"
Why didn't you save me!
"What right do you have to ascend the throne!"
"Sword Emperor, you owe us your lives!"
"Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor, you deserve to die!"
The karmic burden of killing accumulated by the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor over millions of years of conquering the heavens, slaying countless powerful enemies, and suppressing countless Evil Demons, all surged into Zhang Xuance's sea of consciousness!
This resentment, Curse, and karma were condensed by the Trial Grounds into Eternal Resentment Tribulation, all converging on Zhang Xuance alone.
Boom!
A bolt of crimson lightning descended from the sky, striking Zhang Xuance squarely on the shoulder.
Pfft!
Half of his body was instantly charred black, and blood gushed out.
Zhang Xuance swayed, but did not fall.
He slowly raised his head, gazing at the endless sword clouds, his eyes filled with a cold yet resolute light.
A powerful voice echoed in my mind:
"To ascend the throne, one must first incur imperial debts."
To attain supreme power, one must endure countless calamities.
To inherit this legacy, one must dedicate oneself to protecting the peace and tranquility of all paths!
At this moment, Zhang Xuance alone bears the backlash of slaughter, the resentment of all living beings, and the judgment of the Great Dao.
You are not the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor!
Countless vengeful spirits howled in Zhang Xuance's ears.
"What right do you have to take all this on his behalf!"
You don't deserve it! You don't deserve it!
Put down your sword and kneel down!
"Just kneel down, and your suffering will end!"
"You are still young, you have an unlimited future, why should you suffer a million years of slaughter for a dead person!"
A series of sounds continuously assaulted his Dao heart.
Zhang Xuance's soul trembled violently, but he never loosened his grip on the sword.
The trials of the first two tests had already hardened his swordsmanship to an unbreakable level!
He said calmly:
"I am indeed not the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor."
His voice was hoarse, and it lingered in the Main Hall of Inheritance for a long time.
"I never lived through his life, never witnessed him suppressing the heavens, and never participated in those massacres."
Therefore, I am not qualified to judge his right or wrong.
The roar of the vengeful spirit paused slightly.
At that moment, Zhang Xuance suddenly raised his head, a cold smile appearing on his blood-stained face, "But..."
You Devil Race deserve to die!
Ha ha ha ha!
Am I not worthy?
Why am I not worthy?
What right do you Devil Creature have to say I'm not worthy?
Invading the Xuanqiong Realm?
Then I will kill you all!
Slaughter them all!
Haha... Hahaha...
His sword-like eyes darted around, his expression ferocious!
He figured it out!
He saw through it all!
This so-called Eternal Sword Debt is the resentment formed from the millions of Devil Creature slain by the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor!
Damn it!
These beasts deserve to die!
"I want to carry on this legacy!"
I want to become stronger!
"I will protect the Zhang Family!"
"I will slaughter Devil Race!"
"Therefore... I'm determined to have this Heaven-Burying Sword!"
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tian Jian.
A bolt of crimson lightning, several times more terrifying than before, struck.
Zhang Xuance's legs were slightly bent, and his bones made a sound as if they could not bear the weight.
At this moment, his spiritual power was already exhausted, his golden core was full of cracks, and even his soul had been largely eroded by the calamity of resentment.
But at this critical moment of life and death, an extremely sharp Sword Intent slowly rose from his body.
It is the Heaven-Burying Sword Intent!
He did not kill for millions of years, but he comprehended the Heaven-Burying Sword Intent from the trials.
Zhang Xuance slowly closed his eyes.
Countless images flashed through my mind.
His childhood yearning for the Great Dao, the teachings of his elders, and... the scene of the Fourth Elder, Zhang Zu'an, dying and dissipating his Dao while helping him seize the Yaoyang Sword Leaf Grass...
His gaze slowly hardened!
"I used to be playful, but thanks to the guidance and protection of the elders in my clan, I have been able to grow up to where I am today."
"Our ancestors sacrificed themselves, one after another, to protect the Zhang Family's descendants and ensure the Zhang Clan's eternal prosperity!"
"In this world, Demon Calamity rampant, but I also want to protect the Zhang Clan's peace and tranquility! To safeguard this pure land!"
How to protect it?
"It's strength, of course! Strength! And damn it, strength!"
"The way of the sword is not for me to surpass all others."
"But when all beings are in need, I can stand before them and vanquish all enemies!"
At this point, Zhang Xuance suddenly opened his eyes!
"So, you Devil Creature deserve to die!"
Clang!
His body was enveloped in a surge of Sword Intent!
A blood-black Sword Intent soared into the sky!
That is what it carries.
Bearing the weight of all living beings, bearing the weight of cause and effect, bearing the Eternal Sword Debt formed from the thoughts of millions of demons!
"Come!"
He roared angrily to the sky.
"May the Eternal Resentment Tribulation descend!"
"Today, I, Zhang Xuance, with my sword-wielding bones, bear the debt owed to Heaven-Burying!"
"With my life, I will protect the peace and tranquility of all paths!"
