"A Supreme Soldier? The Azure-Sky Years Sword!"
Lu Ren jolted. "Ancient Ancestor, if I remember correctly, the Azure-Sky Years Sword isn't in the Supreme Chapter!"
The Ultimate Dao Armament Register had three chapters: the Immortal-Slaying Chapter, the Dao-Restricting Chapter, and the Supreme Chapter!
The Supreme Chapter naturally recorded Supreme Soldiers.
But Supreme Soldiers were exceedingly rare. Whenever one appeared, it could be added to the Supreme Chapter.

Lu Ren was secretly startled.

As the light vanished, the golden glow on the Azure-Sky Ancient Ancestor's Fruit Body dimmed too. It turned into an earthen-gray statue.
