Forbidden Art Graveyard.

Su Fan stood before a massive tomb, deep in thought.

"Forbidden technique, the tomb of the Life-Ending Sword of No Life!"

Judging by the scale of the tomb, this forbidden technique had to be incredibly powerful.

And it was a forbidden technique meant for slaughter.

"The Heaven-Shattering Sword is immensely powerful, but one technique alone is not enough. This Life-Ending Sword of No Life forbidden technique seems somewhat different."

Su Fan opened the tomb.

He looked at the introduction to the forbidden technique inscribed upon the jade coffin.

"Life-Ending Sword of No Life: instantly strips away ninety-nine percent of one's lifespan to unleash a fatal strike. I have no life; my enemy meets his end. The lifespans of three thousand mortals can slaughter an Emperor..."

Three thousand mortals could slaughter an Emperor?

Su Fan was utterly shocked. This forbidden technique was extraordinarily powerful!

By stacking together the lifespans of three thousand mortals, this sword could actually slaughter an Emperor Realm expert?

It was simply unbelievable!

Three thousand mortals' lifespans might sound like a great deal, but the power that could erupt from mortal lifespans was ultimately extremely limited.

Su Fan had used forbidden techniques ever since he was in the Mortal Sword Realm.

Now that he was in the Spirit Sword Realm, using the same forbidden technique and consuming the same amount of lifespan would unleash power worlds apart from before.

Under normal circumstances, the lifespans of three thousand mortals could not even kill a Spirit Sword Realm cultivator, much less slaughter an Emperor!

Not to mention, how could the lifespans of three thousand mortals be stacked together?

This alone showed just how powerful and unique the Life-Ending Sword of No Life was!

This was a truly life-risking forbidden technique!

Once it was used, death was certain!

After consuming ninety-nine percent of one's lifespan, how much longer could one possibly live?

No wonder it was called the "Life-Ending Sword of No Life"!

I have no life; my enemy meets his end—such a resolve to charge forward without hesitation and stake everything on a single blow.

Su Fan thought of a question.

He possessed an endless lifespan, while the Life-Ending Sword of No Life instantly stripped away ninety-nine percent of its user's lifespan to unleash a fatal sword strike.

If he used this forbidden technique, how would it strip away ninety-nine percent of his lifespan?

"Could it be that if I use this forbidden technique, I can instantly unleash power beyond imagination?"

"My lifespan is infinite. Wouldn't that mean that, once I use it, this forbidden technique would keep stripping away my lifespan while its power continuously rose? The longer I use it, the more terrifying its power becomes?"

Su Fan's eyes lit up.

He absolutely had to learn this forbidden technique.

Perhaps it would yield an unexpected effect.

If it truly could strip away an unimaginably vast lifespan and erupt with terrifying power—

He could descend the mountain before even reaching the Emperor Realm.

Who could possibly stop him?

"My lifespan is limitless, while this forbidden technique strips away ninety-nine percent of one's lifespan..."

Su Fan was certain that this forbidden technique could not strip away ninety-nine percent of his lifespan.

Once it reached a certain upper limit of lifespan, it should no longer be able to keep stripping it away.

Perhaps it was tied to one's realm?

No matter what, the upper limit of the power this forbidden technique could instantly erupt with would certainly be extremely high.

Su Fan opened the jade coffin and took out the Forbidden Technique Jade Slip.

He had to learn the Life-Ending Sword of No Life!

"The lifespans of three thousand mortals can slaughter an Emperor?"

Su Fan suddenly recalled a legend.

It was said that in ancient times, there had been an incomparably powerful demonic Emperor who had slaughtered countless people, only to be killed in a small town by a group of low-level cultivators who unleashed a terrifying sword strike!

Could the forbidden technique used back then have been this very one?

A group of low-level cultivators, driven by fury, had used a forbidden technique. Their lifespans had stacked together and erupted into a fatal sword strike capable of slaughtering an Emperor?

"With my current realm, if I use this forbidden technique, might I also have a chance to slaughter an Emperor?"

Su Fan was beside himself with excitement.

At this moment, several uninvited guests arrived outside Sword God Mountain.

Outside Sword God Mountain's main hall.

Several elders had gathered, their expressions grave.

The Great Elder looked at the man leading the other side.

"Are you a member of the Yan Kingdom Imperial Family? Why have you come to Sword God Mountain?"

Yan Kingdom was one of the great nations of the Eastern Region, with profound foundations.

The other man had blood-red hair and an overbearing aura.

A member of the Devil Palace!

The Devil Palace was one of the world's top powers.

They had come from the Devil Palace of the Eastern Region.

At the height of Sword God Mountain's power, the Devil Palace naturally would not have posed a threat.

Yet the Devil Palace was now so powerful that even Sword God Mountain had to avoid its edge.

It was an extremely unbelievable matter for the Yan Kingdom Imperial Family and a Devil Palace expert to arrive together.

Moreover, they had come with ill intent!

These two were both Emperor Realm experts!

Though they were relatively weak among Emperor Realm experts—

They still could not be underestimated.

In the entirety of Sword God Mountain, aside from the elders and the Sword Master, no one could contend with them.

"This servant, Yao Qing, has come for the abandoned princess, Ling Shuang."

The Yan Kingdom expert spoke.

Yao Qing!

The Great Elder's brows rose. He was one of the Yan Kingdom Imperial Family's three chief internal affairs eunuchs!

"I am Chi Biao, and I have also come for Ling Shuang!"

The Devil Palace expert said in a deep voice.

The Great Elder frowned. "There is no Ling Shuang in Sword God Mountain. You have come to the wrong place."

Yao Qing gave a chilly laugh. "Don't be so quick to deny it. Would we have come without certain information?"

"The abandoned princess should have already discarded the name Ling Shuang and resumed the name her mother gave her—Ling Rushuang!"

The Great Elder shook his head. "Sword God Mountain has neither Ling Shuang nor Ling Rushuang. Please leave."

Chi Biao snorted coldly. "Today, you must hand her over. Otherwise, do not blame us for being rude!"

"Insolence!"

The Great Elder roared, "This is Sword God Mountain! How dare you run wild here!"

Boom!

His aura surged, and a sword flickered into view.

Yet Yao Qing and Chi Biao showed not the slightest fear.

"The Sword God Mountain of today is no longer the Sword God Mountain of old. You should think carefully about whether you are qualified to offend the Yan Kingdom and the Devil Palace!"

Yao Qing issued the threat coldly.

The Great Elder and the others immediately wore unsightly expressions!

Both the Devil Palace and Yan Kingdom were immensely powerful.

If they truly tore all pretenses aside, Sword God Mountain might genuinely be unable to withstand them!

"I have already said it. Sword God Mountain does not have the person you seek!"

The Great Elder said angrily.

Yao Qing raised a brow. "Truly not? Then do you dare let us search?"

They were going too far!

The Great Elder and the others were furious beyond measure.

Search?

If word of this got out, how could Sword God Mountain still show its face?

A sword appeared in the Great Elder's hand. Sword light rippled outward as he said coldly, "Do you truly think Sword God Mountain is easy to bully?"

Chi Biao sneered.

"So what if we do?"

Boom!

His crimson hair flew wildly. A crimson saber appeared in his hand, and without another word, he attacked directly!

He was truly tyrannical beyond measure!

The Great Elder was enraged. The Devil Palace was bullying them far too much!

Boom!

A great battle erupted!

The battle between Emperor Realm experts instantly alarmed many Sword God Mountain disciples.

Yao Qing merely watched with a cold smile. Looking around, he said, "Sword Master Chen, the Yan Kingdom and the Devil Palace have no wish to become enemies with your sect. Simply hand over the Yan Kingdom's abandoned princess!"

Chi Biao was extremely powerful. For the moment, the Great Elder was surprisingly unable to gain the upper hand.

Meanwhile, Yao Qing alone faced off against the other three elders without the slightest fear.

He seemed poised to suppress Sword God Mountain by himself.

Just then, an aged voice rang out.

"Sword God Mountain has truly declined. Even a mere Emperor Realm cultivator dares come here and act outrageously!"

As the voice sounded, a sword suddenly descended.

Its sword intent was vast, rippling in all directions like the arrival of an emperor!

An Emperor Sword!

A true Emperor Sword Realm expert!
