A Certain Sword Origin of the Human Race, Sword Origin in Exchange for E Gu!
In the Human Realm, at the Ten Thousand Ren Sword Peak.
Two supreme dragon mights swept down from beyond the nine heavens, tearing open two spatial rifts stretching for tens of thousands of miles in the sky; the source of the Water Dao hung like an inverted celestial river, enveloping the entire sword peak within it.
[Converging Water] and [Clear Water], two Dao Venerable of the True Dragon Clan of the Vast Realm, transformed into two ten-thousand-foot-long azure dragons, coiling above the Sword Peak.
Beneath the dragon scales, the Principle of Water Dao surged ceaselessly, completely suppressing the Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic within a radius of billions of miles...
The white-haired old man remained seated, without even changing his posture.
"You've arrived?"
He raised his eyelids slightly, casually picked up the empty wine jug from the ground, and twirled it twice in his palm.
"That old codger Return to Earth, he's quick on his feet."
The two azure dragons remained silent, their vertical pupils icy cold, their dragon might crushing down like a tangible force.
Their mission was singular: to keep a close watch on this Human Realm [Immortal Slayer] Dao Venerable, preventing him from taking action and causing trouble in the Beast Realm.
The old man slowly stood up, his withered hand resting on the broken sword.
"You two are quite loyal, coming all the way from the Vast Realm to guard the gate for a small clan."
His voice was hoarse, and he spoke casually, but his hand never left the hilt of his sword.
Finally, the Dragon Lord of Converging Water spoke, his dragon voice like a surging tide in the deep sea. "Everything is an exchange of interests. Please remain seated here and refrain from causing any trouble."
"Whether the E Gu attain enlightenment or not has nothing to do with the Human Race."
The old man suddenly smiled, a very faint smile, a subtle, enigmatic curve appearing on his deep-set face.
What does this have to do with Human Race?
He repeated the sentence, then drew the broken sword; the moment the broken sword was drawn, the Ten Thousand Ren Sword Peak shattered inch by inch.
It wasn't caused by the Sword Qi, but rather that the mere existence of this sword was enough to overwhelm the Principle of heaven and earth.
"The path to enlightenment through E Gu has nothing to do with the Human Race."
The old man held the broken sword horizontally in front of him, his withered fingertips gently tracing the rust on the blade.
"But Sword Origin must die; this is of great importance to the Human Race."
The two azure dragons exchanged a glance; clearly not surprised, for this was a condition already tacitly accepted by all beings.
The old man looked up, and a sharp glint of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"The Sword Dao should belong to Human Race."
"That traitor from the Evergreen Race, who usurped the [Sword Origin] Fruit for tens of thousands of years, should have repaid it long ago. This is the consequence of his actions."
"I will not go to the Beast Realm, nor will I help or hinder the E Gu E Gu."
"I'm only waiting for one result."
He reinserted the broken sword into the crevice in the rock, his gaunt figure swaying in the wind.
"That idiot Sword Origin deliberately went to the Beast Realm to block the way; he was courting death."
"With eight Dao Venerable in front and the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan dominating an entire realm, what can he possibly fight against? He can only risk his own life and fortune to force the Dao Venerable of the Evergreen Race to their dominance."
"He died in the Beast Realm, leaving the [Sword Origin] position vacant. I can then take his place."
"The Evergreen Race will undoubtedly fight tooth and nail to protect Sword Origin in order to maintain their position. It's just unknown which lord ultimately reached the agreement."
The old man sat down again and closed his eyes.
"Therefore, you two Dragon Lords can rest assured."
"I'm not going anywhere. I'll just sit here and wait for him to die."
The two azure dragons fell silent; finally, they coiled themselves in the sky; gazing at each other in silence, they awaited the final outcome...
In fact, thousands of years ago, when E Gu first went into seclusion, before the news leaked out, the powerful figures from all sides may have already made their plans.
In the Beast Realm, the goal is to protect the E Gu' path to enlightenment, thereby curbing the emergence of powerful Dao Embryo within the Dao of the Physical Body. There are powerful beings who intend to seize these Dao of the Physical Body Dao Embryo!
In the Human Realm, there is already a supreme Dao of Refinement; what the Human Race wants is to use someone else to do their dirty work, thereby plotting to fill the vacant position of the Sword Dao and thus become the second supreme cultivator.
Sword Origin Dao Venerable, knowing that his disciples 'Dao Path to enlightenment was about to end, would inevitably go to the Beast Realm to obstruct their progress; this was a calculated move to perpetuate his lineage.
The eight Dao Venerable of the Beast Realm and the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan would never sit idly by.
Once Sword Origin enters the Beast Realm, it's like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
He died, Sword Origin Fruit position remained vacant.
At that time, this old sword cultivator in the Human Realm will already possess the [Immortal Slayer] rank; by acquiring the [Sword Origin], he will have two ranks in hand, allowing him to directly advance to the Dao Embryo!
He didn't need to lift a finger from beginning to end.
He just needs to sit here and wait.
In the western border of the Beast Realm, at a crack in the boundary wall.
Sword Origin Dao Venerable activated the power of his fruition, and the Sword River swept across the sky, colliding head-on with the Dharma forms of the four Dao Venerable of the Beast Realm.
The void shattered, and the Principle were thrown into chaos.
Although Jianhe was sharp, he was ultimately fighting four against one; every time he advanced ten thousand miles, he was annihilated by the combined forces of the four Principle Dao of Strength, Earth Dao, Fire Dao, and Dao of Lightning.
The Nascent Spirit Transformation Extreme Stage cultivator in the gray-blue robe, leading dozens of Nascent Spirit Transformation, desperately tried to break through into the heart of the Beast Realm during a lull in the Dao Venerable' battle.
"Quickly!" he hissed, the unsheathed longsword at his waist humming incessantly.
He could sense that the E Gu ' aura of enlightenment was rapidly increasing; their time was running out.
However, at that moment, three more auras emanated from behind the crack in the boundary wall.
That aura was completely different from Sword Origin's Sword Dao, yet equally vast and powerful; moreover, it possessed Golden Edge that shone brightly, which was the Metal Dao!
Three divine forms emerged one after another from the crack, their bodies radiating brilliant golden light.
The leading Dharma image was clad in golden armor, holding a battle spear, and its Metal Dao essence flowed like molten gold around it; wherever it passed, the void was coated with a dazzling golden light.
[Metal Slayer], [Geng Metal], [Dui Metal].
The three Golden Dao Venerables of the Evergreen Clan of the Mystic Realm have joined forces to attack!
"Senior Brother Sword Origin, you mustn't venture into dangerous territory alone!"
The golden-armored Dharma image spoke in a deep voice, like the clash of metal and stone.
"Sword Origin, the decline of the Dao lineage is the norm; Sword Origin's position must not be lost, lest the Human Race continue to grow stronger!"
Sword Origin Dao Venerable's sword river paused slightly.
"Madness!"
"My lifespan is nearing its end, and I can no longer hold onto my Sword Origin position; if I were to exchange my Sword Origin for a physical body position, it would be entirely beneficial to my Changqing Clan."
"Even if my lifespan could be extended, there is no one in the Evergreen Race who can inherit the Sword Origin Fruit Position. Exchanging positions for positions is the best option."
Upon hearing this, the golden-armored Dharma Image ceased its words, sweeping across the battlefield with its battle spear. The Metal Dao essence transformed into a vast golden ocean, surging into the battlefield.
The arrival of four Dao Venerable instantly turned the tide of the battle.
The blockade by the four Dao Venerable of the Beast Realm was breached by the combined efforts of the Metal Dao and the Sword Dao.
With a single punch, the Ultimate Dao of Strength Venerable unleashed a torrent of Dao of Strength that crashed into the golden ocean; the collision of the two Principle pierced through the void, revealing a chaotic undercurrent.
Returning Earth Dao Venerable's expression changed slightly, and the myriad Shan Yue rapidly reassembled, attempting to fill the gap.
But Metal Dao's [Geng Metal] Dharma form had already arrived close; the battle spear cleaved down, and the Golden Edge, wherever it went, even cleaved Shan Yue in two!
"Not good!"
The Conjoined Fire Dao Venerable, and nine fire dragons emerged simultaneously, entangling the [Dui Metal] Dharma Image.
Profound Lightning Dao Venerable unleashed five-colored Profound Lightning, temporarily forcing the [Metal Slayer] Dharma Form to retreat.
But Sword Origin's myriad Sword Dao paths surged suddenly during this gap, forcefully breaking through the entire blockade line!
The Spirit Transformation cultivator in the gray robe led the remaining Spirit Transformation troops, plunging into the heart of the Beast Realm through the passage torn open by the Sword River.
"Stop them!" Returning Earth Dao Venerable shouted telepathically.
The other four Dao Venerable deities simultaneously moved towards the crack;
However, the four Dao Venerable of the Evergreen Race fought desperately to buy even a moment of time for those Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators.
The heavens of the Beast Realm have been completely transformed into a battlefield of carnage.
The eight Dharma forms and the four Dharma forms engaged in a fierce battle in the sky.
The aftershocks of the clash of Principle swept across the entire Beast Realm.
Mountains collapsed and the earth cracked; rivers flowed backward.
Tens of thousands of Demon Beast of various races were reduced to ashes in the aftershocks, leaving not even a trace of their remains, becoming part of the world.
