"She did it!"
Luo Qianqian excitedly pumped her fist, dazzling light sparkling in her eyes, her smile blooming like a flower.
Sister Yu had actually unraveled the Void Sword River, which had stood for three thousand years. Her talent was enough to rival the peerless geniuses of those Great Emperor lineages!
Luo Qianqian felt incredibly lucky to have become a follower of such a peerless genius!
It was easy to imagine that after today, Sister Yu's name would spread throughout the myriad worlds. Countless sword cultivators would probably want to become her followers.
Luo Qianqian could not help secretly rejoicing that she had been decisive enough back then.
If she had waited until news of Sister Yu unraveling the Void Sword River spread before trying to follow her, she probably would have had little hope.
Luo Qianqian understood that from this moment onward, her destiny would change completely!
"I absolutely cannot become a burden to Sister Yu!"
"Otherwise, when Sister Yu soars into the heavens, I'm afraid I'll lose the right to follow her!"
Luo Qianqian took a deep breath and quietly withdrew.
Luo Qianqian landed in a forest several thousand li away and, following Han Yuyao's example, began trying to unravel ordinary sword intent creations.
Meanwhile, the area where the Void Sword River had once been had erupted into an uproar.
"She actually unraveled the Void Sword River!"
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"The Void Sword River vanished in just a few breaths!"
"That fairy didn't seem injured, either. She only left the Sword Ruins of Creation because she exhausted her mental strength! Even the successors of those Great Emperor lineages couldn't do that, could they?"
"She unraveled the Void Sword River, which had stood for three thousand years, right after comprehending sword intent at the Mortal Realm Third Layer. That fairy's talent in the sword truly is terrifying!"
"I comprehended sword intent at the Mortal Realm Ninth Layer at eighteen and thought I was a young genius rarely seen in this world. Compared to that fairy, I might as well have lived my whole life as a dog!"
"That kid from the Azure Cloud Sword Sect was mocking that fairy just now. He must be regretting it until his guts turn green!"
"Which lineage does that fairy belong to? Does anyone know her?"
"Huh? I clearly watched that fairy unravel the Void Sword River from beginning to end, but now I can't recall anything about her! How strange!"
"That fairy must possess a secret art that conceals heavenly secrets. If she doesn't want anyone to divine anything about her, probably no one can discover her origins!"
"First came Myriad Daos Give Rise to Tribulation, then swords ringing throughout the myriad worlds, and now a sword genius has unraveled the Void Sword River! A golden age truly is coming!"
In midair some distance away, the black-clad youth who had just mocked Han Yuyao wore an ashen expression.
"That'll teach you to run your mouth!"
"Offend an unparalleled genius like her, and you won't even know how you died!"
"If you drag the Azure Cloud Sword Sect into this, even ten thousand deaths won't redeem you!"
The black-clad youth slapped himself hard across the face twice and unleashed a torrent of curses at himself.
After a long while, the black-clad youth took several deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.
Recalling the moment Han Yuyao appeared at the Void Sword River, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Right! Another girl came with that fairy!"
"Perhaps I can apologize to the fairy through her!"
"No matter how great the price, I have to apologize!"
The black-clad youth closed his eyes and mentally reviewed every change in the surroundings after Han Yuyao unraveled the Void Sword River.
A moment later, the black-clad youth opened his eyes again, fixed his gaze on the direction Luo Qianqian had left in, and swiftly pursued her.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Streaks of sword light flew over from various parts of the Sword Ruins of Creation, revealing figures in the nearby void.
They were all sword geniuses comprehending the sword throughout the Mortal Realm Sword Ruins. Sensing that someone there had unraveled the Void Sword River, which contained immortal sword intent, they had rushed over from their respective locations.
Seeing that the Void Sword River was already gone from the sky, every one of them was utterly shocked.
Someone had unraveled the Void Sword River, and its immortal sword intent had acknowledged a new master. How many years had it been since anything like this happened?
When they learned that the one who unraveled it was merely a girl who had just comprehended sword intent at the Mortal Realm Third Layer, they all fell silent.
Wasn't this far too heaven-defying?
How could such an unrivaled monster exist in this world?
Was she going to leave anyone else room to live?
The sword cultivators left the Sword Ruins of Creation one after another. Communication jade slips lit up, and news of what had happened in the Mortal Realm Sword Ruins soon spread throughout the three thousand great worlds, instantly stirring up towering waves.
Was a golden age truly about to arrive?
Many people offered hefty sums for memory crystals recording Han Yuyao unraveling the Void Sword River, and a few memory crystals did indeed enter circulation.
However, every cultivator who watched those memory crystals fell silent.
Every type of sword intent Han Yuyao used was ordinary sword intent found everywhere in the Mortal Realm Sword Ruins. There were no profound sword divine abilities or secret arts.
Yet Han Yuyao's timing and control over the power of her sword intent were precise to a horrifying degree.
At many points, the slightest deviation in the force Han Yuyao used would have caused her attempt to fail!
Striking a fraction earlier or later would likewise have caused her attempt to fail!
Yet every measure of force Han Yuyao used was exactly right. Like Cook Ding carving up an ox, she had effortlessly unraveled the entire Void Sword River!
If they were to attempt to unravel the Void Sword River, they would be unable to do so even after watching the memory crystals!
Furthermore, the figure in every memory crystal was exceptionally blurry.
No one knew Han Yuyao's origins, but quite a few people had turned their attention to Luo Qianqian.
The black-clad youth from the Azure Cloud Sword Sect was not the only one who had noticed Luo Qianqian accompanying Han Yuyao!
The Profound Ice Great World, Ice Sword Divine Mountain.
The Ice Sword Divine Son had just been beaten out of the Sword Ruins of Creation and was nurturing his soul.
When he suddenly learned that the Void Sword River had been unraveled, the Ice Sword Divine Son was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He had challenged the Void Sword River more than ten times precisely for the strand of immortal sword intent within it!
Now that the immortal sword intent had acknowledged someone else as its master, how could he accept it?
When the Ice Sword Divine Son learned that the one who unraveled it was merely a girl who had just comprehended sword intent at the Mortal Realm Third Layer, his expression grew even uglier.
Without comparison, there was no injury!
From now on, whenever anyone mentioned him, the Ice Sword Divine Son, they would instinctively think of the girl who had unraveled the Void Sword River.
He had already become a stepping stone to that girl's fame!
"Unless I kill her!"
"Otherwise, this will be a disgrace I can never wash away in my lifetime!"
"As long as I kill her, that immortal sword intent will still belong to me, Li Daoxuan!"
"She's already such a monster with sword intent at the Mortal Realm Third Layer. I absolutely cannot give her a chance to grow!"
Two dazzling beams of sword light burst from the Ice Sword Divine Son's eyes, his killing intent soaring into the heavens.
Deep within the Sword Ruins of Creation, in the Venerable Lord Realm Sword Ruins.
The entire world was constructed from incomparably pure sword intent.
Sword-shaped divine mountains pierced the clouds, while sword palaces and heavenly halls lay hidden among them. Dragons roamed the firmament, phoenix cries rang beyond the heavens, and fluctuations of sword intent that reigned supreme throughout the universe permeated every corner of the world.
"Whoosh!"
A slender figure flashed out of an ice-blue crystal palace.
He wore a water-blue robe, his long black hair draped casually over his shoulders. His sky-blue eyes were as clear as sapphires, and a cold curve formed at the corner of his mouth. His sword intent was chilling as it pierced straight into the clouds.
"Ming Yu, what happened?"
A red-haired young man carrying a pitch-black heavy sword on his back appeared beside him and asked curiously.
The young man called Ming Yu regained his composure and said casually, "Nothing! I just sensed that someone unraveled the Void Sword River I left in the Mortal Realm Sword Ruins all those years ago. It stirred something in me, that's all!"
"Unraveled?"
The red-haired young man raised his brows slightly.
Ming Yu nodded slightly and said indifferently, "That's right! Unraveled!"
"I can sense that the Void Sword River's presence has vanished completely!"
"That strand of immortal sword intent has also chosen a new master!"
"It could only have been unraveled!"
The red-haired young man said with interest, "No easy feat. After three thousand years, someone finally unraveled the Void Sword River you left behind."
"Come to think of it, sword intent creations in the Mortal Realm Sword Ruins don't mean much to you anymore. So what if someone unraveled it? It's no big deal."
"It's just a pity about that strand of immortal sword intent."
Hearing the red-haired young man's words, Ming Yu fell silent.
A moment later, a cold gleam of sword light flashed through Ming Yu's eyes. "Chi Jue, I've cultivated for over three thousand years and made countless sword intent creations in the Sword Ruins of Creation. The only one to earn the recognition of immortal sword intent was the Void Sword River!"
"Heh, it's truly rare to see you angry! What? Do you intend to deal with the person who unraveled it yourself?" Chi Jue raised his brows slightly.
"I just want to see which faction's young genius stole my immortal sword intent!"
Ming Yu's tone was indifferent, yet a trace of killing intent unconsciously crept into it.
Chi Jue folded his arms across his chest and reminded him leisurely, "Don't forget, in the Mortal Realm Sword Ruins, your sword intent realm will be suppressed to the peak of the Mortal Realm."
"This is an age of great contention. Geniuses of every race are emerging out of nowhere. Be careful you don't capsize in a gutter."
"If the person who unraveled it comes from some Great Emperor lineage or immortal sect or clan, you'd best not act rashly."
"We've known each other for thousands of years. I don't want to hear that you've suddenly fallen."
Hearing Chi Jue's reminder, Ming Yu replied casually, "I understand!"
Immediately afterward, his figure transformed into a streak of sword light and headed toward the passage connecting the Venerable Lord Realm Sword Ruins and the Emperor Realm Sword Ruins.
To reach the Mortal Realm Sword Ruins from the Venerable Lord Realm Sword Ruins, he had to first enter the Emperor Realm Sword Ruins, then the King Realm Sword Ruins, before finally reaching the Mortal Realm Sword Ruins.
Throughout this process, his sword intent realm would also be suppressed layer by layer.
Watching Ming Yu depart, Chi Jue shook his head gently and sighed. "An age of great contention! Perhaps I'll even touch the threshold of the Divine Realm in this lifetime! I only hope I don't provoke those peerless geniuses blessed with great fortune!"
