Sky Screen Commendation, Chen Xin Revived, Another Step Forward in the Sword Dao? (Seeking Follow!)

Ning Fengzhi knelt on the ground in a daze, reaching out to grasp the dancing specks of light, only to watch them slip through his fingers.

A faint thought, almost too quiet to hear, echoed in his mind.

"Fengzhi... I... did my best..."

It was Chen Xin's final sentence to this world.

"No—!!!!"

Ning Fengzhi let out a heart-rending cry. Clutching his head, he curled up on the ground in agony like a child who had lost his entire world.

Across the continent, countless Soul Masters burst into tears.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, every disciple fell to their knees, sobbing uncontrollably.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin had sacrificed himself for his Dao!

With his life, he had defended the honor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and upheld his Dao as a "Guardian"!

He had lost, yet his defeat was still glorious!

This sword strike would forever be engraved in the history of the Douluo Continent, known as—Gods and Demons Annihilation!

Just as the entire Douluo Continent was immersed in overwhelming grief over Sword Douluo's fall...

A sudden change occurred!

The Sky Screen, which had dimmed from the ultimate collision, suddenly blazed with Golden Light!

A gentle yet sacred Golden Light Pillar descended from the heavens, precisely enveloping the light particles that belonged to Chen Xin and were about to completely dissipate.

At that moment, time seemed to have been paused.

Those drifting specks of light, those fragments carrying Sword Douluo's lifetime of memories and cultivation...

Miraculously stopped scattering. They hovered silently in the air, gently wrapped in Golden Light.

Ning Fengzhi's heartbroken wail came to an abrupt halt. He suddenly raised his head, his tear-streaked face filled with stunned disbelief.

"This... this is..."

Across the continent, everyone mourning Sword Douluo held their breath and stared fixedly at the Sky Screen.

A sliver of hope they barely dared to wish for ignited in their hearts.

Then, a majestic and imposing voice resounded between heaven and earth. Lines of golden commentary slowly emerged upon the Sky Screen.

They delivered the final verdict on this earth-shattering battle.

[In this battle, Wei Ang and Ning Junlan of the Sun Moon Continent are victorious.]

[In the Martial Soul clash, the Nine-Colored Glazed Tile Dragon surpasses the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, becoming the foremost support-type Martial Soul of the two continents.]

Seeing this result, a complicated expression appeared on Ning Junlan's pale face.

She had won, but not easily. She even felt a trace of sincere respect for the opponent who had sacrificed himself for his Dao.

Wei Ang merely snorted coldly, stroking the sword wound on his chest with a gloomy gaze.

Victory had been only natural, but the price had exceeded his expectations.

Yet the Sky Screen's commentary did not end there.

[On the Douluo Continent, Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, walks the Dao of guardianship with the body of Seven Treasures. The light of his support is pure and flawless. Though defeated, his will is commendable.]

[On the Douluo Continent, Chen Xin, Guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, performed the deeds of gods and demons with a mortal body.

A man in life, a sword for a lifetime.

His final sword strike reached the pinnacle of the Sword Dao and touched the threshold of the Laws.]

(Actually, that wasn't the case ^_^)

[This sword is named 'Guardian'; its heart shakes heaven and earth!]

[The Sky Screen has been moved by his sincerity and hereby grants him a commendation!]

The words "commendation" bloomed upon the Sky Screen like two golden suns, radiating boundless light!

The instant the voice fell silent, the Golden Light Pillar enveloping Chen Xin's light particles suddenly became incomparably brilliant!

Endless life energy and profound power of the Laws surged wildly into those particles of light.

Before everyone's shocked eyes, the light particles began to gather, reform, and condense at astonishing speed!

First came a vague human outline, then bones and sinews, flesh and blood, Meridians... and finally, those familiar white robes!

In merely a few breaths, a complete figure reappeared upon that ruined Arena!

It was Sword Douluo, Chen Xin!

Chen Xin stood silently, his eyes closed as though he had fallen asleep.

There was no aura around Chen Xin's body, yet his life force was recovering and rising at an unimaginable speed!

"Uncle Sword... Uncle Sword!"

Ning Fengzhi scrambled toward him, trembling all over with excitement. Tears poured from his eyes once more, but this time, they were tears of joy!

He was alive!

Uncle Sword was truly alive again!

The Sky Screen's divine power could actually reverse life and death!

And the reward was far from over!

Upon the Sky Screen, the image of the Eternal Sword Light that had been formed from Chen Xin's figure and pierced through heaven and earth was recreated.

Immediately afterward, that sword-light image began to break apart, transforming into countless tiny golden Runes containing the supreme principles of the Sword Dao.

Like a vast rain of golden stars, they all sank into Chen Xin's Eyebrow Center!

Buzz—!

Chen Xin's body suddenly shook, and an even sharper, purer, more complete, and more enlightened sword intent than before he had Exploded his Rings surged from him into the heavens!

If his previous sword strike had relied on the resolve to burn everything away and forcibly knock open the gates of the God-level Sword Dao...

Then now, with the Sky Screen's help, he had truly stepped through those gates and comprehended the scenery beyond them!

Not only had he been revived and fully recovered his cultivation, but his understanding of the Sword Dao had also advanced another step!

This was true "fortune born from disaster"!

Inside the Heaven Burying Coffin, Wei Yuan's lips curled slightly upward when he saw this scene.

"Just as expected.

The Sky Screen's rules seem inclined to reward those with extreme will and pure conviction.

Chen Xin's sword strike carved out his own 'Dao' and earned the Sky Screen's favor. That is only reasonable."

On the Arena, Chen Xin slowly opened his eyes.

Chen Xin's gaze was no longer as sharp and aggressive as before. Instead, it had become calm as an ancient well, deep as an abyss.

It was as though all things in the world could become swords in his eyes.

Or perhaps he himself was a Peerless divine weapon concealed within its sheath.

Chen Xin glanced at the ecstatic Ning Fengzhi and gave a slight nod, then turned his gaze toward the grim-faced Wei Ang opposite him.

"I lost."

Chen Xin spoke calmly, openly admitting his defeat.

To him now, victory and defeat no longer mattered.

What mattered was that he had unleashed that sword strike, survived, and seen a higher vista.

At that moment, the entire Douluo Continent erupted in deafening cheers!

"Sword Douluo!"

"Sword Douluo is mighty!"

"Glorious even in defeat!

This is the Titled Douluo of our Douluo Continent!"

Countless Soul Masters wept with excitement. They had witnessed a duel worthy of being recorded in history, and even more, a miracle-like resurrection from death!

Sword Douluo Chen Xin had lost this battle.

Yet his name would resound across both continents, becoming an eternal monument in the hearts of countless Soul Masters with sword Martial Souls!

Just as Chen Xin calmly admitted defeat and the entire Douluo Continent erupted in celebration over his rebirth and breakthrough in realm...

That supreme Sword Dao insight bestowed upon him by the Sky Screen finally merged perfectly with his own Soul Power.
