The Sword Sect's Struggle, the Legacy's Destination

"Bring it on!"

Jian Wuhen roared!

A fierce and incomparable sword intent surged into the sky from his body!

"Good!"

"Senior brother is awesome!"

"Let him see the power of our Lower Realm Sword Sect!"

A smug smile appeared on Jian Wuhen's face!

His swordsmanship was the result of a hundred years of arduous training, spent living with his sword!

However, the young man opposite him simply shook his head dismissively.

"It's over."

He simply pointed it out casually!

"Laugh--!"

A seemingly ordinary yet terrifying sword light, as if containing the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, One Flash and disappeared!

"Pfft--!"

The arrogant Jian Wuhen didn't even have time to react before being pierced through by the sword light!

"No... it's impossible..."

He stared incredulously at the wound on his chest, his eyes filled with terror!

"Hmph, trash."

The young man scoffed dismissively.

Beside him, the twenty-six companions who had been watching the show all shook their heads in unison.

Their faces were filled with disappointment.

It was as if that earth-shattering sword strike, which was enough to instantly kill any expert of the same level, was nothing more than a matter of course to them.

"No... impossible!"

"It must be them; they sent out their strongest prodigy!"

"That's right! Wuhen Brother Wuhen isn't even the strongest here!"

Even Jian Wuhen was consoling himself in the same way.

However, the next moment!

The young man's next words plunged them into an endless abyss!

"I forgot to introduce myself."

"I am one of the twenty-seven people who have descended this time..."

"... the weakest one."

"What?!"

"Also," he added, as if remembering something, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you."

"Those who have descended this time are not just us Golden Core."

Before the words were even finished!

Five terrifying figures, exuding boundless majesty and... domineering power, descended from the sky!

Nascent Soul!

Surprisingly, there were five young Nascent Soul experts!

"No--!"

The moment Jian Wuhen witnessed this scene, he completely broke down!

The young man then turned his gaze toward him.

"Bet."

"It's time to keep my word."

Below, all the disciples of the Lower Realm Sword Sect were already trembling with fear under this terrifying pressure that could destroy the heavens and the earth!

The elder, who had been full of confidence, now looked extremely grim!

"Fellow Daoists," the sect leader finally stepped forward, his voice weary, "Could we, for the sake of our shared origins, consider this an opportunity for harmony?"

"Peace is paramount?"

A voice filled with boundless majesty and domineering power descended from the sky!

An elderly man, dressed in a blue sword robe and exuding an unfathomable aura, slowly emerged from behind the five Nascent Soul experts.

"A sword has no 'and'."

"There is only victory and defeat."

"Life, and death!"

This is outrageous!

Below, a hot-tempered elder from the Lower Realm roared!

"Heh..." Upon hearing this, the elder from the Upper Realm merely sneered disdainfully, "I will not only bully you!"

"And more..."

A terrifying killing intent erupted from his eyes!

"... I'll wipe you all out!"

"Boom--!!!!"

In an instant!

A terrifying pressure, powerful enough to freeze the entire world, suddenly descended!

Soul Formation Ninth Layer!

Beside him, two other elders from the Upper Realm, whose auras were equally unfathomable, also unleashed their cultivation!

Soul Formation Fourth Layer!

"What?!"

"Three... three Nascent Soul Formation?!"

Below, all the disciples of the Lower Realm Sword Sect were horrified when they felt the terrifying pressure that was enough to completely crush their souls!

Even the elder, who had been full of confidence, was completely stunned!

"Are we really going to... go to war?"

The sect leader slowly raised his head.

He looked at the three figures before him, figures that resembled gods and demons, and saw no fear in his eyes, only endless... sorrow.

He took a step forward!

A terrifying sword intent, also at the Soul Formation stage, soared into the sky!

Soul Formation Third Layer!

"The sect leader... he's actually a Nascent Soul Formation?!"

Below, all the disciples of the Lower Realm who had been in despair felt a renewed flame of hope in their eyes when they sensed this familiar yet powerful aura!

But so what?

Three against one!

Moreover, the opponent also has a Soul Formation Ninth Layer!

This is a hopeless situation with absolutely no chance of winning... a dead end!

"Oh?"

Upon seeing this, the elder from the Upper Realm also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

But that's all.

"Kill!"

"Boom--!!!!"

A terrifying energy storm swept across the entire world!

An elder at the Soul Formation Ninth Layer and the sect leader of the Lower Realm Sword Sect instantly engaged in battle!

The Lower Realm elder who wanted to step forward to help was blocked by the two Upper Realm elders who were at the Soul Formation Fourth Layer!

"Pfft--!"

One glance!

That's it, death and the annihilation of the Dao!

And in mid-air.

The Soul Formation Ninth Layer and the sect leader were actually evenly matched!

"What?!"

The Soul Formation Ninth Layer was utterly horrified!

He never dreamed that a piece of trash from the Lower Realm could fight him to such an extent!

"Let's attack together!"

He roared!

Those two Nascent Soul Formation Fourth Layer, who were still slaughtering elders from the Lower Realm, immediately joined the battle!

Three Nascent Soul Formation launched a simultaneous attack!

"Hahaha!"

Sect Leader, burst into wild laughter!

He actually managed to hold off the attacks of three powerful opponents of the same level all by himself!

Damn it!

The elders of the Upper Realm grew increasingly anxious as they looked at the sect leader, who was acting like a madman!

However, the Lower Realm Sword Sect no longer possesses any high-end combat power!

Below, the disciples from the Upper Realm and the disciples from the Lower Realm were already locked in battle!

But it wasn't an equal battle at all!

It was not a massacre, but a complete and utter slaughter!

"Ah--!"

A disciple from the Lower Realm, in despair, suddenly self-destructed!

But it only slightly hindered the other party's progress.

The sect leader stared at the scene of blood flowing like a river, his eyes filled with endless... sorrow.

"Fine."

He slowly closed his eyes.

"Boom--!"

He burned everything he had!

A terrifying aura, so powerful that it caused the heavens and earth to lose their color, descended with a deafening roar!

"Oh no! He's going to self-destruct!"

"Quick! Stop him!"

The three Soul Formation elders from the Upper Realm paled in horror when they sensed that terrifying aura, powerful enough to severely injure them all!

Below, all the surviving disciples of the Lower Realm Sword Sect knelt down the moment they saw this scene!

Their faces were filled with sorrow!

"Congratulations... sect leader!"

The sect leader of the Lower Realm Sword Sect slowly raised his head.

Those eyes, once filled with sorrow and despair, now held only endless... calm.

"My Lower Realm Sword Sect, though it perishes today..."

His voice was calm and even, yet it seemed to contain something undeniable... the divine decree of Heaven!

"But, the torch of my swordsmanship..."

"... forever!"

"Buzz--!"

In an instant!

Countless golden streams of light, imbued with the ancient heritage of the Lower Realm Sword Sect, shot into the sky from his body!

It transformed into a golden rain of swords that covered the entire Immortal-Abandoned Continent!

"From this day forward!"

"All who practice the methods of my Sword Sect!"

"... all of them can become disciples of my Sword Sect!"

This moment!

Throughout the entire Immortal-Abandoned Continent, all those currently in seclusion— Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Soul Formation...

Whether it's the righteous path or the demonic path!

In that instant, they all suddenly opened their eyes, staring in horror towards the direction of the Sword Sect!

[Such... such terrifying sword intent!]

[Sword Sect... something terrible has happened!]

The leader, a ninth-level Soul Formation Ninth Layer elder, sneered the moment he saw this scene!

"Hmph! A bunch of outdated and garbage methods that have long been eliminated by the times!"

"It's over, that's all!"

"Yeah?"

Upon hearing this, the sect leader of the Lower Realm Sword Sect merely smiled faintly.

He slowly raised the sword in his hand.

"Then, I'll show you..."

"... This 'trash,' this is its last... bit of brilliance."

"Not good!"

The three Soul Formation elders from the Upper Realm were on high alert!

They dared not hold back in the slightest any longer!

At the same time, he unleashed his... natal magic weapon!

However, it was all too late.

The sect leader of the Lower Realm Sword Sect slowly unleashed what would be the final... sword strike of his life!

There was no earth-shattering spectacle, no dazzling special effects!

Only one seemingly ordinary... dazzling sword light!

"Boom--!!!!"

In an instant!

The entire world fell completely silent!

I don't know how much time passed.

As the dazzling sword light slowly dissipated...

The sect leader of the Lower Realm Sword Sect has long since disappeared.

The three arrogant Soul Formation from the Upper Realm, who had once been invincible, were now lying on the ground in a sorry state, coughing up blood continuously!

Their natal magic treasures, which had long been intertwined with their own lives, were now riddled with cracks, and their spiritual light had dimmed to an extreme degree!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

The leader, a ninth-level Soul Formation Ninth Layer elder, let out a shrill, inhuman roar when he realized that his cultivation had almost plummeted!

"Kill them!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Slaughter this entire Lower Realm Sword Sect! Leave no one alive!"

A moment later.

The entire Sword Sect was already awash in blood.

"Elder," a disciple said hoarsely, looking at the ruins of the Sword Sect's mountain gate, "That... that Sword Sect's legacy..."

"Snort!"

A cold killing intent flashed in the eyes of the leading elder, who was at the ninth level of the Soul Formation Ninth Layer!

"Pass on my order!"

"From this day forward!"

"Anyone who dares to practice the methods of the Lower Realm Sword Sect..."

"Learn one, kill one!"
