Legend of Swordsman

To stay behind and protect the Dao.

The Realm King naturally had no objections. He looked at Jian Wushuang and said, “Don’t be anxious. The metal life forms are not terrifying. The real terrifying opponent has yet to appear!”

“Who?” Jian Wushuang was stunned for a moment and then asked, “Is it Zamasu?”

Now that the metal life forms had the combat power of Universe Gods, if they weren’t terrifying, he truly didn’t know who the opponent could be.

The Realm King shook his head and replied, “It’s Xilu!”

“Xilu!” Wu Zuo’s eyes widened as he said, “How strong can he be? How long has it been since he left the Northern Spacetime? He can’t be stronger than the metal life forms, can he?”

Hui Qing was also somewhat shocked. He hadn’t expected there to be an opponent stronger than the metal life forms. This put considerable pressure on them.

“Rest assured, this time the Great Realm King will personally guide you and transform your divine bodies. Once you emerge after some time, dealing with these metal life forms won’t be an issue. However, Xilu poses a greater threat. The outcome will depend on your training results with the Great Realm King!” The Realm King boosted everyone’s morale.

There was no need to be downcast.

Upon hearing this, Wu Li’s face was ecstatic. Transforming their divine bodies and guiding their cultivation was immensely important.

Without this threat, they might never see someone like the Great Realm King in their lifetime.

They had to seize this opportunity.

“Let’s go!”

With a wave of his hand, the Realm King casually tore through the space of the Star Field of the Gods.

Being the Realm King, he naturally had the ability to traverse spacetime. Even without combat power, his own realm was still intact.

“Lord Realm King, those metal life forms won’t find the Immortal Temple, right?” Jian Wushuang was somewhat worried about the safety of Danbao and others.

“Rest assured, this is the Star Field of the Gods. Those metal life forms won’t have the chance to cause trouble here. Just focus on your cultivation!”

Jian Wushuang nodded slightly, then followed the Realm King and left.

After entering the rift, the Realm King left behind an avatar.

“Blu!”

He looked at Blu and Danbao below, his eyes revealing worry.

The reason for taking Jian Wushuang and the others away first was to avoid affecting their cultivation.

“Lord Realm King!”

Danbao’s face was calm as he said, “Tell me what needs to be done.”

He had already accepted it calmly. Although he was merely the God of Life, he was also a God of Time and Space, with a sense of foreboding.

“Danbao, I have a task for Blu. This task is very dangerous. With Blu’s current strength, he would be walking to his death!” The Realm King’s face was somewhat somber.

Danbao had already sensed it and said calmly, “Is it to stop the metal life forms?”

“Yes!” The Realm King nodded.

Blu stood silently on the side. At this moment, he didn’t know what to say.

He only hated his insufficient strength.

Even before the metal life forms appeared, he had a premonition. At that time, he trained desperately, raising his divine power to over 80 million.

But he still couldn’t solve the problem of the metal life forms.

Now he could only be forced to merge with Danbao.

Actually, it was more like he was unilaterally absorbing Danbao’s divine flesh.

This was the only way to quickly enhance his divine power.

Blu had achieved his current accomplishments by merging with the entire Boron Clan of strong practitioners, relying on the foundation he had laid at that time.

But his potential was ultimately limited. He wasn’t human, and his comprehension was average.

Achieving the status of a Universe God might be something he could never accomplish in his lifetime.

However, after absorbing Danbao’s divine avatar, his potential and comprehension could improve. He might even achieve the status of a Universe God in one leap.

The choice was now in Danbao’s hands.

“Stopping the metal life forms isn’t actually the goal!” The Realm King didn’t want Danbao to lose his body either, but he said helplessly, “It’s to stop Xilu. To stop Xilu from devouring the metal life forms. If Xilu absorbs the metal life forms, even the Immortal Temple won’t be able to stop him. The Great Realm King cannot intervene directly. By then, even the Northern Spacetime will be in danger!”

This was what he was worried about.

Unfortunately, he no longer had his physical body. Otherwise, there would be no need for these juniors to come forward.

The Realm King felt very guilty, but there was no other way.

“Leave this to me!” Danbao nodded and said, “Anyway, I don’t have much use for my body.”

After a bit of self-consolation, he turned to Blu.

“Let’s begin!”

By now, the metal life forms had already entered the Star Field of the Gods, and time was running out for them.

Buzz!

Danbao’s body turned into golden light and merged with Blu.

At this moment, his divine power began to change drastically.

…

On the other side, Jian Wushuang and the others were brought to the small island where the Realm King resided.

After descending, everyone waited patiently in place.

Through the perception of karma, they were actually not far from the Immortal Temple; it would only take a quarter of an hour to reach the Immortal Temple by tearing through the void.

However, for those metal lifeforms to come here was as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even Zamasu would find it challenging to forcibly attack this place.

“You all wait here, I’ll go in and greet them!”

After the Realm King finished speaking, he walked towards the wooden house on the island.

At that moment, the door of the wooden house opened on its own, and an elderly blue-skinned man walked out.

“Have you brought everyone?”

“Yes, they are all here!”

There was no need to ask; the only one who could make the Northern Realm King show such respect was the Great Realm King.

Jian Wushuang quickly cupped his hands and bowed, saying, “Greetings, Great Realm King!”

“Great Realm King!” The others also bowed in unison.

“En!” The Great Realm King only slightly nodded, glanced at everyone, and then said, “Each of you will have a chance to be guided, but only for one year. However, in the Time House, you can train rapidly for ten thousand epochs. This means that after five years in the outside world, all of you can leave!”

Only one person could be guided at a time.

Five people would mean five years.

Naturally, everyone had no objections and stood to the side, ready to follow instructions.

“Who will go first?” The Great Realm King glanced at everyone.

Hui Qing stepped forward at this moment and answered, “I’ll go first!”

“Alright, follow me!”

The Great Realm King led the way, and Hui Qing followed.

The others then sat cross-legged on the spot and began to wait.

The Realm King stood aside, contemplating matters concerning the Immortal Temple.

At this moment, Blu had completely absorbed Danbao’s divine avatar, and a strong golden light burst from his body.

“I can’t believe my power has reached this level!” Blu could hardly believe it; his divine power had already surpassed a billion.

And he had not yet used his full strength.

As he slightly clenched his fist, the surrounding spacetime began to tremble, with small cracks appearing.

Danbao watched all this and smiled.

However, his figure was somewhat illusory now, similar to the Realm King, having lost his physical divine body. At least his Origin Source remained, allowing him to continue comprehending the true essence of life and improve the Northern Spacetime.

This was what it looked like after losing the physical divine body.

“The metal lifeforms have just left Zalong Mountain and are at the edge of the Star Field of the Gods. Blu, you only need to kill one of Lanyan or Lanshui immediately. As for that big black guy, don’t worry about him. Kill one without mercy, and leave the rest alone!” The Realm King carefully instructed.
