The Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor's Inheritance!

Buzz--!

In an instant, the sword light on the Emperor Sword Platform surged wildly.

One, ten, a hundred, ten thousand...

Endless Sword Qi erupted from Zhang Xuance's body, piercing towards the millions of vengeful spirits around him.

The vengeful spirits let out shrill screams, transforming into hideous faces as they frantically pounced on Zhang Xuance.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuance did not dodge.

Instead, he used his soul as a sword and his Dao heart as a blade, allowing the eternal resentment to rush into his sea of consciousness.

Then they were all wiped out!

His bones cracked inch by inch, only to be reassembled time and time again under the tempering of Sword Intent.

Flesh and blood collapsed time and time again, only to be reassembled under the power of the Heaven-Burying Great Dao.

The golden core, which was originally covered with cracks, gradually became as clear and translucent as glass under the nourishment of endless sword light!

Sword bones, Dao heart, golden core, and divine soul all undergo transformation amidst countless tribulations.

"Go to hell with the Devil Race!"

Destroy them!

Zhang Xuance unleashed a sword strike, a wisp of Sword Intent imbued with extreme killing intent piercing through all the vengeful spirits.

With a single sword strike, all is silent!

At that moment, the boundless demonic thoughts silently dissipated.

Boom!

Endless golden light suddenly burst forth between heaven and earth.

On the Imperial Sword Platform, the ancient, jet-black sword slowly rose.

On the sword's blade, millions of intricate sword patterns lit up in succession, and a phantom figure dressed in a blood-black imperial robe, carrying the shadow of the Heaven-Burying Sword on his back, slowly materialized from the ancient sword.

His face was indistinct, but his eyes were deep and unfathomable, as if they had seen through the ages.

It was the lingering remnant of the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor.

He gazed at Zhang Xuance on the high platform, remained silent for a long time, and finally slowly spoke:

"Good."

"Very good."

"Since I left behind this legacy, only ten people have stepped onto this Imperial Sword Platform, yet none of them have been able to bear the Eternal Sword Debt."

"Some feared the impending doom, some succumbed to resentment, and some even attempted to slip through the cracks using trickery."

"Only you, knowing that death lay ahead, still dared to bear the erosion of the resentment of millions of Devil Creature with your own body."

Amazing!"

Looking at the imposing figure before him, Zhang Xuance leaned on his longsword and slowly stood up, his injuries healing at a visible speed.

He bowed and said, "You flatter me, senior."

The remnant spirit of the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor shook his head, and his voice rang out again:

"This is not an overstatement, but a fact."

"True swordsmanship is never about blindly pursuing sharpness."

"He who can slay enemies with a sword can be called a swordsman; he who can slay himself can be called a master of the sword; and he who, after slaying a million enemies, is not consumed by the carnage... is qualified to walk the path of the Sword Emperor."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor pointed a finger.

Boom!

Boundless, blood-black sword light surged from the void and completely entered Zhang Xuance's body.

A complete outline of a great path slowly took shape in his sea of consciousness.

Heaven-Burying, Suppressing Calamity, Slaughtering, and Protecting – four distinct realms of meaning intertwine and merge, transforming into a long river of swordsmanship capable of traversing the heavens.

At the same time, a golden scroll slowly unfolded in Zhang Xuance's mind.

Ninth Stage supreme Cultivation Method – the Heaven-Slaying Emperor Sword Instruction!

The text of the Cultivation Method transformed into countless sword beams, imprinting themselves into Zhang Xuance's soul.

"The Heaven-Slaying Emperor Sword Instruction is a supreme sword Cultivation Method created by my Lineage. Including myself, it has been perfected by eighteen Sword Emperor. Today, I pass it on to you."

"This merit shows no respect for Heaven, no worship of Earth, and no submission to fate!"

"At the pinnacle of cultivation, a single sword can cleave the heavens, sever all causes, and destroy an emperor!"

"But you must remember, the stronger the sword, the heavier the consequences you bear. If one day you don't know why you wield the sword, then this Cultivation Method will become the blade that destroys you."

Furthermore, you may observe and learn from the outline of the Heaven-Burying Great Dao that I left in your sea of consciousness at any time, but I hope that you can innovate and improve upon this Great Dao.

Zhang Xuance nodded solemnly:

"Your disciple will remember this."

Upon hearing the word "disciple," the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor's lips curled slightly, and he raised his hand again.

Clang!

The blood-patterned, jet-black ancient sword was drawn from the high platform and hovered in front of Zhang Xuance.

"This sword is named Heaven-Burying."

"This is the weapon I used to slay the heavens and prove my Dao in the past."

"However, it is now severely damaged and its essence is sealed. If you wish to break the seal, you must use your own Great Dao and spiritual power to continuously nourish and help the sword spirit revive. It will then help you slay the demon!"

Zhang Xuance reached out and grasped the hilt of his sword.

Boom!

A terrifying will instantly surged into his sea of consciousness.

The power of an imperial weapon is also the boundless killing intent contained within the Heaven-Burying Sword.

If he hadn't just borne the Eternal Sword Debt and forged an unparalleled Dao heart, this mere wisp of imperial might would have been enough to shatter his soul.

He gripped the sword with both hands and said firmly:

"Master, your disciple will never dishonor this sword!"

The remnant of the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"Hmm, I believe you. This sword contains many secrets."

"The Emperor Grade Body Refinement Secret Technique, Tribulation-Burying Sword Bone; the Ninth Stage High-Grade Law Technique, Myriad Tribulations Return; and countless inheritances in weapon crafting, alchemy, Spirit Talisman, and array formations collected by the Heaven-Burying Sword Palace founded by this Emperor."

"It will gradually enter your sea of consciousness as your cultivation level increases."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuance knelt down with a thud!

Zhang Xuance knelt down to thank his master!

"Hahaha!" The Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor laughed loudly, "Boy, you don't need to thank your master."

With your talent, even without my teachings, you might still reach the Emperor Realm in the future.

Now, Demon Calamity are rampant, and the Devil Race army is on its way.

May you soon strengthen yourself and vanquish evil to protect the righteous path!

Zhang Xuance immediately bowed down and said loudly:

"This disciple will certainly live up to Master's expectations!"

Slay all the demons under heaven!

"Um."

The lingering remnant of the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor began to gradually fade into illusion.

Just then, Zhang Xuance suddenly remembered something and asked urgently:

"Master, I have another question to ask."

Where is my cousin who stepped onto the Cloud Line with me?

Is it safe?

Upon hearing this, the remnant spirit of the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor was slightly taken aback, "Your clan brother?"

Zhang Xuance nodded.

"Yes, Master, don't you know?"

The remnant imperial consciousness of the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor sensed this inherited palace!

His expression changed drastically.

A look of barely concealed seriousness appeared in his previously calm eyes. "This is bad!"

Zhang Xuance's heart sank, and he asked repeatedly:

"Master, what's wrong?"

The remnant spirit of the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor suddenly looked into the depths of the Cloud Line, and said in a low voice:

"This place is the legacy site left behind by this emperor, but it is also the sealed place of another Devil Race Sword Emperor."

"Back then, I fought a great battle with that Devil Race Sword Emperor, destroying his demonic body and sealing his demonic thoughts deep within the Cloud Line."

Your cousin, I never noticed him from beginning to end, only you are the one I have been in sight today!

The inheritance palaces of my other four disciples have not been opened, so there is only one possibility...

Zhang Xuance hurriedly asked, "What's possible?"

"That Devil Race Sword Emperor most likely used some kind of supreme Secret Method, using the rules of the Cloud Line to confuse our senses."

The remnant spirit of the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor looked extremely grim.

"Your cousin has probably already been taken to the sealed land by that Devil Race Sword Emperor!"

"What!"

Zhang Xuance's expression changed drastically, "How could this be!"

"Master, your disciple must go save my cousin!"

"Tell me how to enter that forbidden land, I must go and rescue him!"

"Please, tell me how to save him!"

The remnant spirit of the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor looked at Zhang Xuance before him and sighed deeply.

"Calm down first."

"I am now merely a lingering remnant, only able to maintain the seal, while you are only at the Golden Core Peak stage."

"To rashly step into it is to certain death."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuance clenched his fists, his face showing resentment:

"Are we just going to stand by and watch our brother be kidnapped by the Devil Race Sword Emperor...?"

"No."

The remnant spirit of the Heaven-Burying Sword Emperor said in a deep voice:

"Although that Devil Race Sword Emperor is powerful, he has been sealed for countless years and must be extremely weak."

Since your cousin was able to be guided by him, it means he possesses something that the Devil Race Sword Emperor values.

Through erosion, possession, or demonization, they are made to serve the Demon Emperor as his successors...

"The final outcome depends entirely on him; he may fall into the demonic path forever, or he may become a sharp spear piercing through the Devil Race!"

"What you need to do now is to improve your cultivation level as quickly as possible."

Only when you break through to the Mahayana stage will you be qualified to step into the forbidden land for a look.

As for now, I won't let you go looking for your death!

Do you understand?
