Legend of Swordsman

If he were the Dao Lord of Wan Xing, he might have been cautious, but he didn’t pay much attention to Dao Lord Xue Yue.

Even though he held the top position on this Original Planet, his methods were the most transparent. They worked well against the weak, but against opponents of the same level, those tactics were useless.

“Jian Wushuang, isn’t it?” Dao Lord Xue Yue didn’t show anger; instead, he looked at Jian Wushuang with a faint smile and said, “Your strength is indeed interesting. If you think I’m as foolish as Leng Shuang, you’ve miscalculated.”

As his words fell, the blood moon condensed, and the world lost its color.

Buzz!

Before Jian Wushuang could react, the Dao Lord Wan Xing threw a punch, directly shattering the blood moon.

“One-on-one, it’s one-on-one. No one is allowed to interfere, What I say stands, and you can’t change it!’

The aura of Dao Lord Wan Xing soared, exuding unparalleled dominance, suppressing everyone present!

This overwhelming dominance made everyone gasp in awe.

This aura was familiar to everyone present; they were all peak-level Grand Yan Immortals in their respective worlds. Besides the Emperor, they were the top powerhouses.

The Emperor was not unfamiliar to them, but the aura emanating from Wan Xing reminded them of the mighty Emperor-level experts.

“How is this possible!” Dao Lord Xue Yue was also extremely surprised!

He didn’t expect Wan Xing to be so strong, breaking his divine technique with just one move.

Among the same level of cultivation, he might not be at the top, but he certainly wasn’t the weakest either!

Jian Wushuang, who had just been about to strike, was also greatly shocked. This was too powerful; that seemingly ordinary punch carried a force that made people’s hearts tremble.

“Wan Xing!” Dao Lord Leng Shuangs eyes also revealed astonishment.

Originally, everyone’s strengths were more or less on par, with only a slight difference in power. But now, Wan Xing suddenly erupted, delivering a punch that shattered Xue Yue’s divine technique.

The peak-level experts watching from the periphery also felt a shiver in their hearts at this moment. The overwhelming aura was simply too powerful, even from this distance.

“This aura, could it be that Wan Xing is at the half- step Emperor level?” someone questioned with doubt.

They were very familiar with this aura and couldn’t be mistaken. It definitely possessed some Emperor-level power.

“Hmph, you country bumpkins don’t understand a thing!” The speaker was one of the ten great Princes of the Daluo Realm.

He was also the only Grand Yan Immortal from the Daluo Realm in the Feather Continent at the moment.

Wan Xing hailed from the Xingluo Realm, which was affiliated with the Daluo Realm. He was well-informed about many things and began to boast.

“Brother Wan Xing, have you cultivated the supreme profound technique of our Daluo Heaven? Your strength can rival those perfected ultimate Grand Yan Immortals. What’s a half-step Emperor in comparison!”

“Supreme profound technique?”

The crowd collectively inhaled sharply.

That was the kind of secret art that only Emperors were qualified to cultivate!

Typically, such secret arts weren’t passed down to Grand Yan Immortals because they couldn’t practice them, unless it was incredibly compatible with their own origin source or if the supreme art’s inheritance was somehow related to them.

Just like Hu Qing, the reincarnation Samsara inheritance resonated deeply with him, and he eventually embraced it fully.

For most people, mastering profound techniques was as challenging as achieving unity with the Dao.

Only divine powers were suitable for Grand Yan Immortals; aspiring for supreme profound technique was too ambitious.

“Admiration, truly admirable! Practicing the Emperor’s profound techniques, no wonder you are so powerful, comparable to a half-step Emperor. Your combat strength rivals those Ultimate existences. If you succeed in Dao merging, it’s likely that the Original Universe will gain another tier 5 existence.”

A half-step Dao Lord remarked slowly. He, too, was a prodigy from a certain great world and possessed considerable knowledge about Emperors.

Throughout countless eras, the monstrous beings that could illuminate an entire era, which one of them hadn’t practiced the Emperor’s profound techniques in Grand Yan Immortal stage and eventually achieved Dao Unity? They would immediately become tier 4 combatants upon entering the Emperor stage. After wandering through the River of Time for countless billions of years, they would break through to the tier 5 Emperor level.

Everyone admired them greatly!

After all, they were on par with Ultimate existences.

Jian Wushuang was also incredibly shocked!

Wan Xings power exceeded his understanding; besides the Emperor, this was the strongest Grand Yan Immortal he had encountered. With a single punch, Dao Lord Wan Xing could shatter another Dao Lord’s divine technique.

Even if he exerted all his strength, he lacked the confidence to confront Dao Lord Wan Xing.

Fortunately, he possessed the arrogance common to strong individuals—They live up to their promises.

A one-on-one fight meant just that!

Now, Hu Qing could defeat PO Jun easily. If he were to face Wan Xing later…

Jian Wushuang was feeling a bit discouraged.

Little did he know, within the Original Universe of Qishen Temple, True Spirit, with drifting flesh whiskers was thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.

“This young one is quite impressive!” the spirit said, watching Hu Qing, who displayed formidable strength, under the sky canopy.

Though True Spirit only muttered a casual remark, it held sway over the entire Qishen Temple. Presently, the temple housed countless powerful beings, including tens of thousands of Emperors, to be precise, several tens of thousands of Emperor-level experts.

Among them all, only Hu Qing garnered True Spirit’s approval.

“Yes, this raw gem has weathered this tribulation well. Patience is key; we can’t rush the process. The last Grand Yan Immortal died prematurely; we must train them carefully!” True Spirit murmured to himself.

In his eyes, countless powerful beings were but ants, stones that needed polishing. If it was jade, it would be honed; if it was a mere rock, it would be ignored.

“Hmm!?”

True Spirit furrowed his brows as he observed Jian Wushuang in the sky.

“Why hasn’t this little pest died yet?”

According to True Spirit’s plans, another Dao Lord should have killed Jian Wushuang by now!

“Damn it, he escaped yet again! Leng Shuang is truly useless, just like those old relics—completely useless!” True Spirit fumed, stomping his feet in anger.

Swish!

Ripples stirred in the Original Universe as the guardian entered. Upon hearing the words ‘old relics’, his face darkened. He floated over to the spirit, his expression as black as night.

True Spirit felt slightly awkward, straightened his appearance, clenched his fist, and cleared its throat before calmly asking, “Old Qi, how is the situation in the Four Great Secret Realms progressing?”

Since awakening, True Spirit had realized how much the world within the Qishen Temple had changed.

The Four Great Realms of the past had transformed into the Four Great Secret Realms, giving rise to numerous powerful beings. There were so many that even the White Tiger Temple struggled to suppress them.

If it weren’t for the assistance of the 13 guardians, the White Tiger Temple, and the other three Great Temples, there would have been significant issues in maintaining the balance of the Four Great Secret Realms within the Qishen Temple.

“My lord, there’s a problem in one of the secret realms!” the guardian reported truthfully.

True Spirit paused, understanding that if a problem reached him, it must have exceeded the capabilities of tier 6 Emperors. This surprised him!

“Details, please!” True Spirit’s expression turned grave.

“It’s the Forest of Eternal Secrets!” the guardian replied.

True Spirit’s eye sockets contracted; this was the first time since his revival that he became genuinely serious.

“Let’s go, take me there!”

The guardian wasn’t surprised; the Forest of Eternal Secrets was a place the old master cared deeply about. When constructing the secret realms, the

Qishen Temple had relocated some of the master’s cherished places there..
