Lu Ren was stunned to see the Heavenly Dao Incarnation appear.
He remembered that the Fire Spirit Holy Emperor had placed a strand of Saintly Intent on him, erasing the trace of his presence so the Heavenly Dao's order could not sense him. That was how he had escaped the Heavenly Dao Incarnation's pursuit when he broke through to Martial Emperor.
That Saintly Intent was supposed to last three years. Only one year had passed.

"What happened?"
Lu Ren stared, dumbfounded. He had no idea what had happened.
Why had the Heavenly Dao Incarnation suddenly disappeared?
"The Sword Soul you awakened is the Void of Destiny
