Young Master

The swords of Great Xia, the swords of the Central Plains, all stood behind Lin Chao.

There were bronze swords, rust-covered iron swords, and swords yet unsharpened…

Tens of thousands of swords, one could say all the swords of Great Cang had gathered here.

Lin Chao looked at the giant lizard before him, his expression unreadable.

This giant lizard was covered in golden threads invisible to ordinary people.

Countless golden threads connected together, forming golden armor.

The Azure Lord watched the scene before him, his face showing a moved expression.

A strange voice suddenly came from within his body.

It was the voice of an old man, his voice peculiar, speaking in broken Great Xia language.

"This world is indeed unusual.

With no divine abilities manifested, it must be a desolate world."

Another voice within the Azure Lord's body spoke, excited and incredibly fervent.

A strong killing intent appeared in the Azure Lord's eyes.

"Heaven's Mandate is with me, I am Heaven's Mandate!

Even if you possess divine abilities and sorcery, how can you kill me?"

The Azure Lord faced the ten thousand swords without fear.

His true form, facing such divine abilities and sorcery, was as fragile as paper.

However, Heaven's Mandate was the best defense.

"Is that so?"

Lin Chao held the Dao Sword, the ten thousand swords moving with him.

"Today, I will sever your heavenly secrets!

And return Heaven's Mandate to the people!"

Instantly, the ten thousand swords took flight.

Whether they were ordinary swords or blood-slaughtering swords, they all emitted a terrifying aura.

At this moment, they transformed into the sharpest swords in the world, capable of cutting and severing anything!

As the ten thousand swords flew, a look of terror appeared on the Azure Lord's face.

"Sever heavenly secrets?"

He hadn't expected to see such swords.

The golden threads wrapped around his body were Heaven's Mandate, indestructible.

However, as the flying swords passed, this Heaven's Mandate was swiftly severed.

The golden threads broke, scattering across the sky.

The overwhelming aura of the giant lizard plummeted.

Golden threads danced everywhere in the sky.

A rain began to fall upon the glorious Great Xia.

It was rain, and it was also Heaven's Mandate.

Lin Chao's single sword severed heavenly secrets, returning Heaven's Mandate to the people.

"No!"

Anger contorted the Azure Lord's ugly face.

"My eternal dynasty!"

The giant lizard charged towards Lin Chao.

Even without the protection of the golden threads, he was still an incredibly powerful monster, far stronger than ordinary Specialists.

"Great Cang has fallen, Great Xia shall rise.

Azure Lord, please die."

Lin Chao exuded a terrifying aura, and with a single sword strike, the Azure Lord's massive body crashed down.

His entire form also transformed into human shape at that moment.

The Azure Lord looked at Lin Chao, his lips pale.

His eternal dynasty, his lifelong pursuit, had all been destroyed.

"Lin Ping, I curse you to suffer the torments of reincarnation, never to find peace in any life."

"I'll take you up on that wish." Lin Chao smiled.

The Dao Sword was drawn, and with a thrust, it pierced the Azure Lord's heart.

The Azure Lord's face showed immense unwillingness as he finally perished, his aura completely gone.

Everything seemed to have ended.

But just then, the Azure Lord's body moved. He opened his eyes, and another soul within him awakened: "You thought you won?"

Lin Chao looked at the Azure Lord with a curious expression. "You are the master of the Azure Dragon Stone?"

"You have some knowledge after all." The Azure Lord's face showed a look of madness. "Lin Ping, when the anomalies flood in, that will be the time my Bronze King descends upon your world."

Lin Chao frowned.

"I'm afraid the anomalies won't flood in."

"Lin Ping, I know you. That sword strike was very powerful, somewhat similar to immortal divine abilities and techniques.

However, even if you sever all the anomalies and cut off the corruption.

The seeds of anomalies have already been sown. Within two thousand years, I will definitely descend upon your world!

This world will belong to me!

In two thousand years, you will be dead. Who can stop me?"

The Azure Lord laughed maniacally.

Lin Chao slashed his sword, directly severing his windpipe.

The Bronze King's aura vanished instantly.

Lin Chao fell into thought.

He looked up at the sword lying on the ground. "You all go back."

These swords trembled slightly, emitting sword cries.

Ten thousand swords cried out in unison, finally soaring into the sky and returning to the distance.

A light rain was falling from the sky. The entire Great Cang imperial palace, at this moment, was engulfed in flames.

Suddenly, a sound of falling came from the side.

Lin Chao glanced over. Consort Lian leaped from the high platform, a smile on her face as she met her end.

Lin Chao was bewildered.

He remembered that in history, the Azure Lord was a foolish and incompetent ruler, but when he died, Consort Lian leaped from the high platform for him.

This love story was praiseworthy and celebrated by later generations.

Now, it seemed Consort Lian's leap was not for the sake of love, but for Great Cang.

Great Cang was not perfect, even tyrannical, but in the eyes of certain beneficiaries, it remained the only one.

They, from the old era, were only willing to live in the past.

"Anomalies… two thousand years…"

Lin Chao recalled the Bronze King's words, his gaze becoming deep.

In March of the year 1379, a meteor fell into the Cang imperial palace, and the Azure Lord was burned to death, throwing the palace into chaos.

In April, the Yellow Turban Army attacked Kyoto. All civil and military officials surrendered. Great Cang was in utter disarray and finally perished. Huang Xian Yuan ascended the throne as emperor, establishing the Yellow Dynasty.

In June, the Emperor arrived at Beiling City, establishing the Dan Jian Sect as the state religion and performing a Fengshan ceremony at Dan Mountain.

The world underwent immense changes at this moment.

Lin Chao's figure also disappeared.

The Dan Jian Sect, the Three Extremes Sect, and the Yellow Dynasty all sent people to search, but none found any news or trace of Lin Ping.

A fisherman in Qing Province said he once saw a man in a blue robe fishing with a straight hook, ears absent.

A minor official in Nanshan said he once saw a man in a white robe in the deep mountains, using a peach branch as a sword to cut down a spring breeze and snow.

Lin Chao's figure vanished from then on.

In the fifth year of the Yellow Dynasty's founding, auspicious signs appeared on Mount Taiqing. A giant earth dragon emerged, growing two horns.

The yamen rejoiced and intended to present it as an auspicious omen.

As a result, a swordsman in green appeared and severed its two horns.

"It's finally over."

Lin Chao's gaze was calm.

All the contingency plans left by the Bronze King had been severed by him.

In the world, there were no longer any Anomalous Arts.

Mo Fengxue, Zhang Daolin, and others also became ordinary people, or perhaps slightly stronger martial artists.

In this world, Lin Chao was the only Specialist left.

With his Unwavering Dao Heart, he still retained his power.

The source of his power was not Anomalous Arts at all.

"It's time to see this world."

Lin Chao's figure vanished, disappearing completely into the world.

He had visited the shores of the South Sea, scaled towering mountains, and searched extensively for ancient relics, gaining some insights.

Fifty years later, on Mount Taiqing, lightning suddenly erupted, coiling like dragons and snakes. A celestial being in white, holding a long sword, shattered the dragons and snakes, breaking through the void and departing.

At the Three Extremes Sect, an old woman with white hair looked at a letter in her hand, frail and ancient, a wistful expression on her face. "Young Master..."
