Doubtful voices rose one after another.
Only Gu Yuena, standing beside the Lake of Life, stared at the broken sword in the image, her violet eyes trembling violently.
The Great Dao Sword Ring in her hand was growing hot.
It was trembling.
That was submission.
Absolute submission to a king!
"Just as I thought—"
"That is its true form."
Gu Yuena drew a deep breath, turbulent waves surging through her heart.
It was merely a projection of its aura, yet it had already caused such a violent reaction from the ring in her hand.
Just as the people of the world were puzzling over it,
a line of ancient, imposing words slowly appeared on the Golden List.
[No. 1 on the Divine Weapon List: Supreme Broken Sword.] [Rating: Unknown.] [Origin: ???]
The instant the words appeared, a desolate and ancient aura followed their gazes, striking straight into the depths of every person's soul.
Immediately afterward,
that grand voice of the Heavenly Dao exploded beside everyone's ears.
"Once, there was an angel who was born a god."
"He wielded the Holy Sword, judged yin and yang, suppressed the world, and stood unrivaled beneath the heavens."
"Yet divine positions have limits, while the Great Dao is boundless."
"At that time, he had already reached the peak of the God King realm, with no road ahead."
The image began to shift.
People saw a towering, indistinct figure.
He was clad in holy light and held the "Angel Holy Sword," symbolizing the authority of the Angel God.
The sword radiated boundless light, its divine power as vast as the sea.
Yet he sighed.
"This divine position is both glory and shackles."
The figure murmured softly.
Then, under the horrified gazes of every soul master across the continent,
he performed an earth-shattering act.
