[This sword was formed from the first ray of light when heaven and earth began. It would endure as long as the world and age alongside the Great Dao!] [When the sword emerged, heaven and earth would change color, and the sun and moon would go dark! It could reverse time and space and shatter the cycle of reincarnation!] [Its power could slay a God King!]
"W-What?!"
"One sword strike could change the color of heaven and earth, blot out the sun and moon... and it could even... slay a God King?!"
Zhu Zhuqing cried out in shock. For the first time, an emotion called horror appeared on her icy face.
Her body even began to tremble uncontrollably.
Slay a God King!
That was a God King!
A Supreme Being who stood at the pinnacle of the God Realm and controlled the laws of the universe!
How could such a terrifying weapon exist on this continent?!
"This sword... can actually slay a God King?"
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth with her small hand, her beautiful eyes filled with fear.
"That is a God King... an existence even the Sea God and Angel God must look up to!"
Although she had been born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and had seen countless treasures, the description on the Golden Ranking had completely overturned everything she knew!
"Heavens!"
Xiao Wu let out a short scream, all color draining from her face.
"There is actually such an exotic treasure on this continent?!"
Every member of Shrek stood frozen in place as if they had been hit by a paralysis spell, their minds utterly blank.
This sword was simply too incredible!
It was so incredible that it had surpassed the limits of their imagination!
Tang San's face turned deathly pale.
He stared fixedly at the five words, "Its power could slay a God King," the defiance and fury in his eyes long since replaced by endless terror.
"Impossible..."
He muttered to himself, his voice trembling.
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"How could such a powerful sword exist? It defies all reason!"
He could not believe it!
After all, he had now fused the Dual God Positions. His Soul Power had reached level 149, and he was merely three levels away from the true God King Realm!
If this sword could slay a God King, then did that not mean...
It could also kill him with ease?!
The moment he thought of that possibility, an icy chill shot from Tang San's feet straight to the top of his head, freezing his entire body!
"Above a Super Divine Artifact...?"
Yu Xiaogang finally snapped out of his obsession. Noticing the Golden Ranking's definition of the Taichu Sword's rank, he was completely dumbfounded.
"There is actually something above the rank of Super Divine Artifacts?"
This discovery shattered his worldview even more than his theories failing to make the Ranking List.
However, what truly drove Tang San to despair was yet to come.
When he saw the name following the "master" field, he could no longer control his emotions and let out an enraged roar.
"Lu Ming?!"
"Why is it Lu Ming again?!"
"Why is he everywhere?! Even this Taichu Sword belongs to him now?!"
That name was like a thorn stabbing viciously into his heart!
From the second-ranked Eternal Life Pendant to the top-ranked Taichu Sword, which could slay a God King!
This man called Lu Ming seemed to be everywhere!
"Who exactly is this Lu Ming?"
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was filled with deep confusion.
This name had entered their sight for the first time today, yet it had repeatedly reshaped their understanding with overwhelming force.
"Have you forgotten the Eternal Life Pendant ranked second on the Exotic Treasures Ranking? The Golden Ranking's annotation made it very clear—it was a gift from him to his wife, Gu Yuena."
"In other words, among the top ten rankings, several peerless exotic treasures are connected to this man!"
"Gu Yuena, the Angel God, the Sea God..."
Xiao Wu counted on her fingers, growing more alarmed with every name.
"This person seems to be connected to every existence standing at the peak of the continent!"
"And earlier, that Ye Family Ancestor who appeared out of nowhere on the Golden Ranking also seemed to be named Lu Ming!"
"Why?"
"Why have I never heard this person's name before?!"
"...Never heard of him!"
The Shrek group looked at one another, seeing the same shock and bewilderment in each other's eyes.
That was right!
This man named Lu Ming was like a massive shadow hanging over the entire continent.
He clearly possessed treasures and power capable of overturning the world, yet he had left no trace whatsoever in the history of the past.
It was as if he had appeared out of thin air!
This unknown was far more terrifying than any known enemy!
Above the walls of Jialing Pass, while the Shrek group was plunged into enormous shock and confusion by Lu Ming's name, the atmosphere elsewhere within the city was entirely different.
Time rewound slightly.
Spirit Hall Empire, Worship Hall.
This was Spirit Hall's most sacred hall. Even the Pope needed permission before entering.
At that moment, only a solitary figure stood within the vast and imposing main hall.
Qian Renxue wore the Angel God Armor, yet the golden armor could not conceal the exhaustion and despair covering her body. She knelt quietly upon an ancient prayer cushion, looking up ahead.
Before her, atop the raised platform, there was no idol enshrined there. Instead, a sword stood quietly embedded in place.
A long sword that appeared utterly unremarkable, even excessively plain.
Its scabbard was ordinary wood, and its hilt bore no ornate carvings. From top to bottom, it exuded an air of returning to simplicity.
"Master..."
Qian Renxue's red lips parted slightly, her voice carrying a barely noticeable tremor.
"Please tell Xue'er what she should do?"
Her voice was full of helplessness and confusion.
Tang San, that man, was simply too powerful.
So powerful that even she and her mother, Bibi Dong, two Deities joining forces, had been forced back step by step without the slightest chance of victory.
His strength was suffocating.
She had no options left. She could only place her final hope in her mysterious and unfathomable master, Lu Ming.
But her master had traveled the world and was not here at all.
Before leaving, he had only left behind this sword and instructed her to worship it properly.
Qian Renxue's gaze fell upon the plain long sword, a trace of gloom flashing through her eyes.
Could this sword really defeat Tang San?
She did not dare hope for too much.
In her view, even if her master personally came here, victory would still be uncertain against Tang San, who had fused the Sea God and Asura God Dual God Positions, possessed Soul Power at level 149, and wielded two Divine Weapons.
Let alone a sword that looked so ordinary?
Despair washed over her like a tide.
"Master..."
A crystalline tear slid down her flawless cheek.
"Xue'er... may never see you again."
Qian Renxue was unwilling to accept it.
She truly was unwilling!
She had yet to confess her feelings to her master. She had yet to be with him and... do the things she wanted to do.
She did not want to die like this!
