Above the Tribulation Transformation Realm, there are Two Sage Realms.
Only by crossing those two insurmountable barriers can one be qualified to touch the Emperor Realm.
Any emperor with a title is enough to suppress an era.
Five Emperor Realm standing at the pinnacle of the continent, working together, could almost sweep across the entire True Martial Continent. Yet, when facing the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor, they couldn't even withstand a single sword strike.
Ling Changkong remained silent.
Even though 100,000 years have passed, hearing about that battle again still fills him with a sense of oppression that transcends time.
A slight ripple stirred in Chu Yunfei's heart.
With the ability to kill five Emperor Realm experts with a single sword strike, the strength of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor is definitely not just that of an ordinary peak Emperor Realm expert.
This person has most likely already come into contact with divine power.
It can even briefly mobilize a trace of immortal power.
This sword strike was enough to make Chu Yunfei take it seriously, but not enough to make him lose his composure.
In his previous life, he lived in the Upper Realm and had seen countless peerless experts.
Compared to the strength of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor, he was more concerned about another detail.
One hundred thousand years ago.
Deep within his consciousness, Xiaoxiao Dragon also kept his eyes fixed on this time.
There was once a peerless swordsman in the Upper Realm, whose Heaven-Slaying.
That man was renowned for his swordsmanship, and his strength was terrifying. He once single-handedly attempted to enter the Immortal-Burying Heavenly Road, but emerged alive.
His identity remains one of the greatest mysteries of the Upper Realm.
Coincidentally, that Heaven-Slaying also suddenly disappeared 100,000 years ago.
"Could it be that he came from the Upper Realm back then?"
Xiaoxiao Dragon looked at the Giant Que Sword outside and muttered to himself.
"And then died in this world?"
She shook her head as soon as she spoke.
"Wrong."
"If it really is that person, who in this world could kill him?"
Xiaoxiao Dragon did not remind Chu Yunfei.
There are too few clues at the moment.
Whether the two characters "Heaven-Slaying " are a coincidence or whether the two people are the same person remains to be determined.
Chu Yunfei looked at Ling Zhantian.
"Since the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor possessed such strength, why did he perish, and why did he leave behind his legacy?"
"Nobody knows."
Ling Zhantian shook his head.
That period of history has long been lost; it is only mentioned briefly in the notes of the founding emperor.
"Legend has it that when the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor fell, a sword's cry resounded throughout the True Martial Continent."
"Those who inherit my legacy can carry on my will."
Chu Yunfei asked, "What were his last wishes?"
"I don't know."
Ling Zhantian answered decisively.
"For ten thousand years, countless powerful figures have sought the legacy of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor."
"Some people obtained the key to the inheritance during this period, but they were never able to find the true place of inheritance."
Ling Changkong picked up the conversation.
According to existing ancient records, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor left behind a total of three keys.
Some believe that the three keys correspond to his swordsmanship, martial arts techniques, and personal belongings, respectively.
"Some also believe that all three keys must be collected to unlock the true core inheritance."
However, these are all speculations by later generations; no one has ever confirmed them.
Chu Yunfei looked down at the Giant Que Sword in his hand.
Now he finally understood why Nangong Wuhen had been so relentlessly pursuing this sword.
A high- Earth Rank Upper Grade spiritual weapon is naturally not worth the Heavenly Sword Sect's Holy Son pursuing at all costs.
However, if it is a key to the legacy left by a peerless sword emperor, its significance is completely different.
Nangong Wuhen's focus was never on the sword.
It's the path to heaven behind the sword.
Once the complete inheritance of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor is obtained, not only Nangong Wuhen, but even the entire Heavenly Sword Sect may be able to surpass countless forces on the True Martial Continent.
But another question also arose in Chu Yunfei's mind.
How did Father manage to obtain something so important?
Chu Batian was merely the peak master of the Azure Mystic Sect.
Even if he was quite famous in Qingyang City, he shouldn't have come into contact with secrets at the level of the Emperor Realm inheritance.
Why did Father never mention the origin of the Giant Que Sword?
Was my father's death related to it?
Chu Yunfei gripped the sword hilt tightly, his eyes gradually turning cold.
Ling Xueyao noticed his change and asked in a low voice, "Are you thinking about Peak Master Chu?"
Chu Yunfei was not surprised that she knew about her father's past.
Before Ling Xueyao appeared in the Cangwu Mountain Range, she had most likely already sent people to investigate him.
" The Giant Que Sword is the only memento left by my father."
He never told me the true origin of this sword during his lifetime.
"Now it seems there might be more to the story."
Ling Xueyao's expression darkened slightly.
She knew that the death of Chu Yunfei's father had always been a thorn in his side.
But there are too few clues right now.
No one can determine whether the two are related.
Ling Zhantian pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "The place of inheritance is hidden and difficult to find. Even if the Heavenly Sword Sect obtains the key, they may not be able to find it. The Heavenly Sword Sect Master, Meng Tianyun, is not a fool; he should understand this, unless..."
He stopped abruptly at this point.
Chu Yunfei finished speaking.
"Unless the Heavenly Sword Sect has already obtained clues about the location of the inheritance."
Ling Zhantian nodded slightly.
"It's also possible that they already know the exact location of the Land of Inheritance."
The atmosphere in the main hall became heavy.
If the Heavenly Sword Sect only cares about the key itself, there is still room for maneuver.
However, if they already know the location of the inheritance site, then no matter what the cost, they will not give up the Giant Que Sword.
Chu Yunfei, however, showed little fear.
He put the Giant Que Sword back into his storage ring.
"Whether that's the case or not, we'll know once the Heavenly Sword Sect makes their next move. If they still refuse to give up, they'll naturally reveal their weaknesses."
Ling Xueyao looked at him, her eyes filled with worry.
"You now possess the key to the inheritance of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor. If this news leaks, it won't just be the Heavenly Sword Sect that's after you."
"It's best to avoid taking this sword out in public in the future."
Chu Yunfei nodded slightly.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Trying to snatch the sword from me Chu Yunfei, won't be so easy."
Although the secrets of the Giant Que Sword are astonishing, they cannot be translated into power for the time being. Without a place to inherit its legacy, it remains merely a high- Earth Rank Upper Grade spiritual sword.
Ling Zhantian looked at Chu Yunfei and didn't look away for a long time.
This young man seems to have more secrets than he expected.
Despite being under twenty years old, he possesses combat power far exceeding that of others in the same realm.
Possessing Myriad Poison Tyrant Body.
He also possesses the key to the legacy of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor.
In addition, there was the dark ancient sword at his waist, which even he couldn't see through.
When Chu Yunfei entered the hall, Ling Zhantian noticed the sword.
However, its aura was extremely restrained, and its surface grade was only Earth Rank Middle Grade, so there was not much unusual about it.
Ling Zhantian's gaze swept over Chu Yunfei's waist.
"Young friend Chu's sword doesn't seem to be an ordinary item."
Chu Yunfei paused slightly, but did not deny it.
"This sword is named Abyss Swallower; I acquired it by chance."
" Abyss Swallower..."
Ling Zhantian slowly read the name aloud.
Then, he squinted.
"I once saw a record in the notes left by the founding emperor. A thousand years ago, there was a peerless swordsman from another realm who dominated the Vast Waves Domain with a black sword adorned with dark gold patterns."
"That sword's name also seems to be ' Abyss Swallower.'"
Chu Yunfei's heart skipped a beat.
The demonic spirits in the abyss also mentioned the former master of the Abyss-Devouring Sword.
That person's sword could suppress all of Canglan, and he even killed the Demon Emperor.
The two clues finally connected.
Chu Yunfei looked up at Ling Zhantian.
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of a certain person?"
Ling Zhantian's eyes flickered.
"Who?"
Chu Yunfei slowly uttered three words.
" Luo Wuxu."
The three words fell.
Ling Changkong, who was standing to the side, was immediately taken aback.
"You actually know Luo Wuxu?"
Chu Yunfei didn't explain how he learned the name, calmly saying, "I learned it by chance."
"I've heard that Luo Wuxu is the former owner of the Abyss-Devouring Sword."
Ling Zhantian gave him a deep look.
" Luo Wuxu is not from the Vast Waves Domain."
"He crossed the Domain Sea a thousand years ago, and when he appeared, he was already severely injured. Even so, no one in the entire Vast Waves Domain could withstand a single sword strike from him."
Ling Xueyao couldn't help but glance at Chu Yunfei's waist.
" Luo Wuxu, is that the swordsman who fought against the Grand Ancestor back then?"
"Good."
Ling Zhantian slowly said, "The founding emperor once fought against him."
"In that battle, Emperor Taizu only received one sword strike."
"The sword has fallen; the battle is over."
Ling Xueyao was shocked.
Ling Taixuan was the strongest being in the Great Qian Imperial Family in ten thousand years, with a cultivation level reaching the peak of the ninth level of the Dao Mysterious Realm. He once suppressed various sects and the Western Continent Demon Race race with his own strength, preventing them from making any rash moves.
Yet, even such a powerful figure couldn't withstand a single sword strike from Luo Wuxu.
Chu Yunfei's gaze darkened slightly.
"I wonder where Luo Wuxu went after that?"
"And are they still alive?"
Ling Zhantian did not answer immediately.
He looked again at the Abyss-Devouring Sword at Chu Yunfei's waist, as if weighing whether to continue revealing this secret.
After a few breaths, he said, "According to the notes left by the Great Ancestor, Luo Wuxu came to the Vast Waves Domain, seemingly in search of something."
"He first defeated all the powerful figures in the Eastern Continent, then went to the Demon Race territory of the Western Continent, where he once killed a demon emperor."
Whether he is still alive or not, no one knows.
All we know is where he last appeared in public...
Ling Zhantian paused, then said in a deep voice:
"It's the Vast Waves Sacred Academy."
Chu Yunfei frowned slightly.
" Vast Waves Sacred Academy?"
