Legend of Swordsman

Because the Qishen Temple was gone, he had no place to return to.

Perhaps the split consciousness from the beginning was correct.

”This avatar of yours has planned everything well. You’re very close to success. Once you succeed, you’ll become a Special Life Form, with the potential to reach the Immortal level in the future. But you will always remain just an Immortal, and an Immortal with no place to return to at that. Are you willing to accept that?” Jian Wushuang stirred the pot, unafraid of causing more trouble.

Immortal Jiu Chen, furious, retorted, ”I don’t need you to worry about it! You’ve destroyed the Qishen Temple, so just wait for divine retribution. The master will not let you go!”

Looking at the other party, Jian Wushuang thought to himself, if he knew that the Master of Qishen had knelt before him, he wondered what his reaction would be.

Without further words, he scanned Li Miao with his Thought power.

The first deposed emperor of the Great Tang was currently nestled with a frail woman.

That woman was none other than Consort Yi.

Seeing her delicate and pitiable appearance, Jian Wushuang couldn’t help but feel regretful. She had been killed by the one she loved the most, resurrected by the same person, and then killed again.

What sin had she committed in her past life to encounter such a wretched fate?

Watching everything from behind the scenes, one could truly see the reality of the human world.

This was the most genuine scene.

A living hell.

The Ancient Demon had slaughtered all the mortals of the Seven Southern Nations and had already reached the Eastern Land.

No one could stop him.

But there was someone who dared to try.

That person was not Emperor Li Miao, but the Commander of the Zhanxian Guards, Wei Jiuxian.

Outside the city of Mangshan.

The Ancient Demon swung his eight arms, shattering the canyon outside the city.

Feeling the summons from beneath Mangshan City, the eyes on the Ancient Demon’s chest burned with heat and greed.

But before that, he intended to devour all life in the Eastern Land.

The light emanating from his enormous eyes covered the entire Great Tang of the Eastern Land.

Countless people watched this scene; even the fierce battle within the city came to a halt.

At this moment, only four people were left fighting Immortal Jiu Chen.

Two of them were powerful beings from the Upper Realm, both at the peak of the Divine Power Realm.

The other two were Arhats from Baoguang Temple.

As for the others, they were severely injured and had lost the ability to fight. They all stood on the city wall, watching the ongoing battle.

But now that the Ancient Demon had arrived, even they had stopped fighting.

”Jiu Chen!!!”

Zhen Xian was also panicking, attempting to persuade him, ”Even if you become a Special Life Form, with your potential, you’ll never ascend to the Immortal level. Why not assist me? I’ll ask my master to descend and kill the Ancient Demon, giving all his flesh and blood to you!”

”An Upper Realm cultivator, do you think I’m a fool? If you had a way to summon a transcendent being, you could have done it already. Let your master come down and kill the Ancient Demon. That way, you can also become a Special Life Form. We wouldn’t be in conflict!” Immortal Jiu Chen sneered.

He had experienced nine worlds, seen more people than they had meals, and would never be deceived by an Upper Realm cultivator.

Even if it were possible to summon a transcendent being from the Upper Realm, why not just have the powerful being come down and kill the Ancient Demon directly?

It was evident that there were concerns, as the Ancient Demon was an invaluable treasure no matter where it was found.

Zhen Xian and Fu Qing descended to the lower realm precisely for this Ancient Demon.

Unable to kill it while alive, they set their sights on its blood-colored altar.

They, too, desired to elevate their life levels. Such an opportunity would not be easily handed over to others.

Now, having fused his soul with the Ghost Emperor, his soul level had already increased five hundredfold.

Next, he would refine the Ancient Demon’s essence blood and reshape his physical body, elevating his life level to five thousand times.

With such a supreme body, his strength would soar to the pinnacle of the Great Circle.

At that point, he would be just a step away from becoming an Immortal. When that time came, he would seize control of his original body, thereby gaining mastery over the Divine Fire Palace. From within the Divine Fire Palace, he would gradually transport treasures, sufficient for him to break through to Immortality.

Additionally, he sought the primary sequence of the Divine Eye inheritance.

From then on, he would ascend rapidly, with a chance to become a Great Emperor.

This was his ultimate plan, and now it was very close to being realized.

The Ancient Demon was on its way, and soon everyone here would fall. Their essence blood,

due to the great formation, would all be integrated into his refining technique.

At that moment, the Death Formation began to transform into a Blood Refining Formation.

The death energy in the sky gradually turned blood red.

It was a blood mist drawn from the blood-colored altar.

This formation was more than sufficient to refine the Ancient Demon.

Therefore, he feared neither the Ancient Demon nor the cultivators within the city.

Even if they had reached the pinnacle of the Divine Appearance Realm, they were no match for

him, regardless of their strength.

His soul level had already reached the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Once he fused with his physical body, he would reach the Great Circle’s completion.

The Ancient Demon outside, whose life level had recovered to two thousand times, would

also be suppressed under this great formation.

To him, there was no threat in this world.

Thus, he always looked down on Zhen Xian from the Baoguang Temple.

If it weren’t for the opponent’s protective treasure, he would have slapped him to death long

ago.

”Fine, very well, this immortal will withdraw now, let’s see how you fend off the Ancient Demon!” Zhen Xian waved his hand, his face dark, and said, ”Junior sister, let’s go!”

With that, he transformed into a stream of light and fled the Mangshan County City.

This infuriated the two Luohan, their faces turning crimson. Originally, they were only at the early stage of the Divine Appearance Realm, but with the help of the Old Ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, they could temporarily elevate to the pinnacle of the Divine Appearance Realm, a level where they could easily shatter space and ascend.

Yet now, Zhen Xian had fled.

This was not what they had agreed to!

Back then, the Old Ancestor of the Tang Dynasty promised them a chance to ascend, but they

had to protect the Eastern Lands.

Now, their power was nearly exhausted. If they wanted to fulfill their promise, they would surely die this time, with no hope of ascending.

If they chose to ascend, they would have to watch the Eastern Lands fall apart. For a moment, two conflicting thoughts swirled in their minds. Finally, they exchanged a

glance, said nothing, and also transformed into streams of light, fleeing the Mangshan

County City. There was no need to ask; it was clear that they had given up.

They couldn’t abandon the chance to ascend and perish with the Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately, they still had some attachment to the Tang Dynasty, so they didn’t flee

immediately. They decided to wait and see. If things really got out of hand, they would shatter space and ascend directly.

Even though space had become more solid now, their strength was still sufficient to break

through and leave.

But for Zhen Xian and Fu Qing, those powerful beings from the upper realm, it would take a hundred times more strength to shatter space and escape.

The key was that these two had descended to pursue the inheritance sequence and the Ancient Demon’s essence blood.

Transforming themselves into Special Life Forms was something human cultivators dreamed

of.

It was said that the cultivators from the Ancient Domain were far more powerful than those from the outer spacetime. This wasn’t about quantity but quality.

This place was the Tomb of the Gods, and their blood carried traces of divine blood.

Those Special Life Forms that could be nurtured here were even more powerful.

Their life levels were generally very high.

Combined with the inheritance sequence of the Divine Eye Secret Technique, once they became acquired Special Life Forms, both their comprehension and life levels would reach the pinnacle, leading them on the true path of becoming a Great Emperor.
