Legend of Swordsman

Although they were aware that the Ultimate Emperor was very powerful, much stronger than those of the same level, they were confident.

However, among peers, they had long accepted the fact that the Ultimate Emperor was the strongest.

But Jian Wushuang was beyond belief!

A Dao Lord, comparable to a tier 6 Emperor.

How many levels had he surpassed?!

Dongshen sighed on the side and said, ”Can’t compare, can’t compare. Back then, even Shang wasn’t as outrageous as you. I thought you were a tier 4 Emperor!”

A tier 4 Emperor who could match a tier 6 Emperor was already incredible. Who would have thought that Jian Wushuang was a Dao Lord?

Although Divine General Moyin had long known that Jian Wushuang was a Dao Lord, his eyes couldn’t help but squint.

A Dao Lord comparable to a tier 6 Emperor, he didn’t seem this powerful before!

Back in their time, the most dazzling Emperor was Emperor Jueyun, and the Dao Lords received little attention.

Even Emperor Jueyun wasn’t as powerful back then.

How did Jian Wushuang achieve this?

The Demon Sound Divine General was also puzzled.

Zhen Ling was puzzled as well, only knowing that there was a huge eye in the starry sky watching Jian Wushuang, but Zhen Ling couldn’t see too much.

”Senior Moyin, I choose to leave!” Jian Wushuang said calmly.

The words just now also served as encouragement for Dongshen and Wanyan.

In fact, there was nothing to say. If he were an Emperor, he would have gone up to the bridge.

As long as he broke through, he would be at least a tier 5 Emperor. If he could enter the realm of the black hole, the breakthrough would make him a tier 6 Emperor.

After ascending to tier 6, his strength was likely on par with supreme-peak experts. Falling down into the Second Prison posed no danger unless he found himself surrounded by a group of supreme-peak adversaries.

However, having the One Thought Universe, especially after becoming an Emperor, made him even more formidable. Even if faced with a group of supreme-peak beings, he could escape defeat.

The visage of Divine General Moyin appeared, and his voice resounded with authority, ”Jian Wushuang, your request is something I cannot fulfill. You have only one option—you must tread the narrow path!”

”What!” Jian Wushuang was on the verge of cursing.

What did this mean?

Discrimination against the Ultimate Dao?

They wanted him, a Dao Lord, to walk a narrow path. What if he fell? How could he handle it?

Encountering supreme-peak beings, let alone lasting for an incense stick’s time, he wouldn’t be able to withstand even a single breath.

When he encountered Dragon God before, it was because the opponent wasn’t in a hurry to strike, wanting to know why they had entered the Dark King’s Dao Arena.

If he entered the Second Prison, those ancient and wicked entities, upon seeing him, a Dao Lord, would probably meet a miserable fate.

Either being devoured alive or having his divine body blown away in a breath, annihilating his Origin Source.

”This is the will of Lord Zhen Ling. If you have any objections, you can take it up with Lord Zhen Ling!” Divine General Moyin was somewhat surprised, as Lord Zhen Ling had just informed him.

”However, if you pass the narrow path, the treasures you obtain will be different from theirs. I know you possess the path of Devour; Lord Zhen Ling will bestow a Universe Origin Source for you to devour, aiding you in reaching the realm of black hole,” Divine General Moyin explained.

These words were just relayed to Jian Wushuang by Zhen Ling, telling him without missing a single detail.

However, Jian Wushuang couldn’t find joy in any of it.

No matter how he approached the first two bridges, he fell off them. The first time was a voluntary descent, the second time a forced one.

For this third bridge, he had no confidence whatsoever.

But Zhen Ling’s command was the law of the Qishen Temple, a decree no one could defy.

Upon hearing this, the four Temple Masters reluctantly acknowledged it, holding their noses.

As a Dao Lord, where could he argue against it?

At this moment, Dongshen and Wanyan took on the roles of the good guys, advising him one after another, saying it wasn’t a big deal.

But that was the Origin Source of the Universe!

Devour!

Only then did they recall the two words spoken by the Divine General Moyin.

”Devour? Does it have something to do with the great Demon Lord suppressed in the Original Universe?” Dongshen couldn’t help but ask.

The face of Divine General Moyin twitched slightly. He had just recovered, and he was not yet familiar with the situation of that true master.

”The Original Universe!” Divine General Moyin reminisced.

There was no impression of this universe in his memory, but the person mentioned should be the same.

The great Demon Lord was just a name for the Original Universe, one of the three true masters.

Suppressed in the Original Universe.

”Well, are you ready? You can come up anytime; I’ll be waiting for you on the other side!” Divine General Moyin didn’t answer, but there was a hint of sadness in his heart.

Speaking of the true master, it was similar to the Qishen back then.

That was a piece of flesh from the Qishen!

The Qishen abandoned his proudest and strongest Dao.

Otherwise, the final battle wouldn’t have ended in defeat, and the Qishen Temple wouldn’t have fallen to such a desperate state.

After the departure of Divine General Moyin, only three of them remained.

”Dao Friend Wushuang, don’t be disheartened. The two of us will hold the front for you!” Dongshen said, then took the lead on the narrow bridge.

Wanyan smiled at him and followed suit.

Now, only Jian Wushuang remained sitting in place.

He pondered on how to proceed.

Ahead was a chaotic expanse, and nothing was visible.

He didn’t know how long this narrow bridge was, but regardless of its length, there was a 99 percent chance that he would fall.

The figures of Dongshen and Wanyan quickly disappeared.

Jian Wushuang, left alone, felt even more isolated.

”This is simply setting me up!” Jian Wushuang inwardly cursed Zhen Ling.

Wasn’t Zhen Ling’s attitude towards him different back then?

He even gave him the Qishen’s personal jade tablet. How could things turn out like this now?

Upon further thought, if Zhen Ling wasn’t holding a grudge, he wouldn’t joke with his life like this.

In the outside world, Zhen Ling might not have had so much influence.

However, within the Qishen Temple, would Zhen Ling just watch him walk to his death?

Moreover, this place was the inheritance ground of the Qishen Temple.

That was an optimistic point of view...

If one were to think pessimistically, back when he betrayed the Qishen Temple, became a lackey of Shen Ling, and did all sorts of evil deeds to help Bai Junwan’s rebirth, causing bloodshed among the people.

In the end, he even assisted Shen Ling in resurrecting Fuego, causing a great disturbance in the Four Great Secret Realms.

Zhen Ling had no choice but to revive some Divine Generals to guard important areas.

He had to shoulder this blame.

Although initially Jian Wushuang did it to survive, no matter what, betrayal was betrayal, and he had to acknowledge it.

”I hope things develop in a positive direction!” Jian Wushuang muttered to himself, then stepped onto the suspension bridge.

However, things often tended to develop towards the worst.

That Fuego could still be resurrected was something Zhen Ling had never expected.

The other party came from the stars, with a profound background and unpredictable strength.

Now, appearing in the Four Great Secret Realms, the Qishen Temple’s stronghold, Zhen Ling was currently busy searching for Fuego.

Fortunately, Fuego was still under his control. When Fuego attacked the Three King’s Court initially, it was to save Frolasa. Now that he was revived, he would also go in search.

The best course of action now was negotiation.

They couldn’t wait until Fuego’s strength recovered to the level of the Universe Master, and penetrate the Qishen Temple’s defences. By then, there would be no room for negotiation.
