When the Sword Immortal Drew His Sword, Its Edge Shone Across the Heavens

Amid the chaos,

no one noticed

a mysterious figure cloaked from head to toe in black robes,

a flag trailing black Qi hanging at his waist, weaving back and forth through the battlefield.

The blood-red demonic saber in his hand gleamed with a chilling light.

A casual slash easily claimed the lives of dozens, even hundreds, of Demon Race beings.

Countless souls, invisible to the naked eye,

were being drawn into the black flag in an endless stream.

Upon the throne,

Gu Xuanjin looked down on it all with indifference, like an immortal on high.

Just then,

several young figures with formidable presences suddenly charged out of the Myriad Demon Divine Court.

At their head was a handsome young man who bore a striking resemblance to the Demon Emperor, Lu Jue.

He wore a golden imperial robe embroidered with a divine Golden Crow, looking exceptionally noble.

As he strode forward with the gait of a dragon and the steps of a tiger,

he exuded a domineering bearing that could swallow mountains and rivers for ten thousand miles, fierce and unyielding as he pressed ever forward.

The powerful presence of the Supreme Realm surged and raged around him.

The next Demon Emperor of the Myriad Demon Divine Court, the Golden Crow Clan's eldest prince, Lu Chen!

To his right

was a youth who looked much like him,

but was considerably younger, only fifteen or sixteen.

His expression was solemn and resolute, and his bearing extraordinary.

The Demon Race's fourth prince, Lu Ling!

And to Lu Chen's left

stood members of the younger generation from the Five Rampancies Temple, the Abyssless Cave Ruins, and several other factions.

Their cultivation levels varied.

Some were in the Marquis Realm, others in the Saint King Realm.

Among them, the successor of the Five Rampancies Temple was at nearly the same level as Lu Chen.

Both had reached the Supreme Realm.

Gu Xuanjin looked calmly at the people opposite him.

"So you finally decided to come out.

I thought you were going to stay hidden in the back, clinging to your wretched lives."

Seeing that only Lü Yifei, who had broken through to the Dao Integration Realm not long ago, was at Gu Xuanjin's side,

Lu Chen's eyes churned with killing intent.

He said coldly, "As long as we kill you, it won't be a loss even if the Myriad Demon Divine Court is destroyed!"

He knew that the Myriad Demon Divine Court could not escape destruction today.

So even if he died,

he would take Gu Xuanjin, who could lead the Gu Clan to even greater heights

and might even suppress an entire era,

down with him!

Yet Gu Xuanjin's expression did not change in the slightest.

He merely uttered four words: "You don't know what you're talking about."

Although he had sent Ji Song to lead the Divine Martial Guard in wiping out the Demon Race army,

he still had a Dao protector guarding him in secret.

However,

a few Supreme Realm cultivators

were still nowhere near enough to force his Dao protector to show himself.

Lu Chen, the Golden Crow Clan's eldest prince, frowned and said,

"Gu Xuanjin, I admit you're strong!

But we've cultivated for a few years longer than you, and our realms are considerably higher.

I'm afraid you can't stop us!"

Then he shouted to the people beside him, "Attack together! Finish him quickly!"

As soon as the words left his mouth,

Lu Chen brought out a black-and-gold flying dagger.

A cold, baleful light flickered over it, the Law of Death flowed around it, and soul-severing, spirit-destroying power wreathed it.

It was like a life-claiming blade hurled by a ghost or god!

The supreme-grade divine weapon, the Soul-Slaying Flying Dagger!

The others did not hold back either.

Some unleashed forbidden divine abilities, erupting with boundless killing intent as they descended upon Gu Xuanjin to suppress him.

Others brought out powerful treasures, seeking to kill him!

In an instant,

heaven and earth changed color, and the void trembled!

Killing intent vast as the sea filled all of heaven and earth.

Facing attacks capable of easily slaughtering ordinary Supreme Realm experts,

Gu Xuanjin remained utterly unperturbed.

He glanced at Lu Ling, the Golden Crow Clan's fourth prince,

and stopped Lü Yifei, who showed not a trace of fear and wanted to block the sky-filling killing moves for him.

If Lü Yifei fought with his life on the line, he might be able to trade a few moves with a Void God Realm expert.

But if he were to fight Lu Chen and the others in the Supreme Realm,

he would simply be throwing his life away.

Gu Xuanjin instructed Lü Yifei,

"You don't need to worry about these people. Go deal with Lu Ling."

Lü Yifei hesitated.

After all, Lu Chen and the others were Supreme Realm experts.

He was merely a follower with no backing; it would not matter if he died.

But if anything happened to the Divine Son, his guilt would be grave.

Yet seeing Gu Xuanjin's relaxed, indifferent expression,

Lü Yifei could only nod slightly.

At the same time,

Lu Chen and the others' attacks, terrifying to both soul and spirit, had arrived!

Between heaven and earth,

a clear sword cry suddenly rang out,

and a dazzling streak of silver-white sword light abruptly tore through the void, appearing before Gu Xuanjin.

It was his supreme-grade mystic weapon, the divine sword Moxie!

When Gu Xuanjin reached out and grasped the sword,

it was as though the mightiest sword immortal in the world had taken hold of his blade!

The Law of the Sword Dao, sharp to the extreme, rippled through the void, ringing and seething as it surged.

This world seemed shrouded in vast silver-white Sword Qi.

A boundless sharpness swept across the nine heavens and ten earths.

The divine sword slashed down, a piercing sound echoed, and the Sword Dao roared.

The Law of the Sword Dao and endless magic power were brought to their utmost, transforming into countless sharp swords!

They covered the sky and earth, like a sword formation of incomparable ferocity and ultimate sharpness.

Within it, terrifying visions seemed to rise and sink: immortals and gods falling, demons and devils perishing.

Its might was formidable, its sword intent surging!

Forbidden divine ability, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!

Rumble-

A violent explosion shook the Myriad Demon Divine Court.

The might of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin reached through heaven and earth.

It could shatter mountains and rivers and grind all things in the world to dust!

Lu Chen and the others' attacks were powerful, but not powerful enough!

They were all ground to pieces by Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!

Even the supreme-grade divine weapon, the Soul-Slaying Flying Dagger, was blasted several hundred zhang backward.

It fell to the ground with a clang, covered in sword marks and even chipped in places!

!!!

In an instant, Lu Chen and the others were stunned to the core, monstrous waves rising in their hearts!

What had they just seen?

Someone in the Heaven-Reaching Realm crossing several major realms to contend with the Supreme Realm?

And crushing them completely at that?

Faced with this dreamlike sight,

Lu Chen and the others felt as though they had not fully woken up, as though they were dreaming!

Even more astonishingly,

although Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin had expended much of its power in that exchange,

it remained overwhelmingly mighty, fierce and domineering!

It continued thundering toward Lu Chen and the others!

Countless sharp swords, like a raging storm, were upon them in an instant!

Despair and bitterness welled up in Lu Chen and the others' hearts.

For a moment, they could no longer tell who was actually in the Supreme Realm.

"Why?!

Heaven is unfair!

It's one thing to reach the Heaven-Reaching Realm at fifteen or sixteen.

Why can he possess such terrifying power too?!"

Among them, someone roared in anger.

They could only feel that Gu Xuanjin was monstrous to the extreme.

But they did not know why Gu Xuanjin was so terrifying.

Gu Xuanjin's talent had always shaken the past and dazzled the present.

He was the most monstrous forbidden Divine Son the Immortal Gu Family had seen in endless ages.

His strength far surpassed that of his peers among the heavenly geniuses.

Now he also had the system's assistance.

Not only had his mastery of the Law of the Sword Dao reached 80%, but he had also refined a mass of world origin.

The depth of his foundation had long since become comparable to that of an expert at the peak of the Supreme Realm.

Thus, it was no surprise that he could overpower Supreme Realm cultivators while in the Heaven-Reaching Realm.

Even so, Lu Chen and the others were successors of their respective top-tier factions.

Facing Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin, whose overwhelming might was utterly suffocating,

they were horrified, but they did not choose to simply wait for death.

Lu Chen and the others each used their life-saving methods.

Lu Chen and the successor of Divine Firmament Mountain directly revealed their true forms.

One was a Three-Legged Golden Crow whose body blotted out the sky and sun, golden flames blazing fiercely all over it.

The other was a Heaven-Supporting Demon Ape, as massive and sturdy as a primordial mountain!
