Legend of Swordsman

”In the Mortal Realm, there are strong beings too!” Xiang Yang couldn’t help but exclaim in

awe.

Jiang Shang, on the other hand, gazed at the stream of green energy, feeling a sense of familiarity.

It was just like what her mother had once left for her.

It was nurturing inside her body-would it eventually grow into something like this?

Curiosity filled her heart, but at this moment, she understood that her mother came from the higher realms and was no longer part of this world.

Within Mangshan County City.

There wasn’t a single living being left, only dried-up pools of blood and shattered remnants of soul power.

A gust of wind blew through, and suddenly, a sky-piercing lotus sprang from the ground.

The power on the lotus was weak, but as a surge of life force descended, it began to grow rapidly.

In the sky.

Wei Jiuxian couldn’t withstand the might of True Lord Ye Huo, his entire body covered in wounds.

At this moment, his power had already reached the extreme of mortal limits.

The pinnacle of the primordial spirit.

There was no way he could become stronger without transcending.

He had been a mortal, relying on external forces to grow stronger, but he could never directly transcend.

Now, he was barely clinging to life, yet he hadn’t let go of the long spear in his hand.

”Boy, you can’t stop me, and yet you waste such precious life force-what a waste!” True Lord Ye Huo cried out anxiously.

He didn’t care at all that he was a transcendent existence.

Because life force was far too valuable to him.

As long as he obtained it, he had the hope of becoming an immortal.

He had been stuck at this level for far too long. With the Soul Ascension Array, he could enhance his soul power, and as his soul power increased, so would his comprehension, allowing him to comprehend his own Dao marks and become eternal.

And life force contained the essence of life itself. If he had a life seed, he could nurture it to a certain point and directly ascend to immortality.

Unfortunately, the seed had been crushed by Wei Jiuxian, leaving only the life force. But even that life force was enough for him to break through to immortality-it would just take a bit longer.

But he could ultimately break through without relying on comprehension.

Now, watching the life force steadily drain away, he felt deeply frustrated, yet he couldn’t take down his opponent.

”There was once a shortcut placed right before me, and I failed to seize it!” True Lord Ye Huo fumed with anger.

Now, all he wanted was to kill Wei Jiuxian out of sheer rage.

”Boy, today I’ll show you the consequences of angering me!”

True Lord Ye Huo unleashed his full power, revealing the strength of a transcendent being.

In an instant, his entire form merged into a sea of fire.

What had once been an ordinary sea of flames now turned into black fire.

”Ye Huo!”

The Ye Huo descended!

The sky was completely scorched and turned into void.

The ground was burned clean in an instant-mountains and cities all vanished.

Everything was obliterated.

However, the destruction was limited, covering only a thousand-mile radius within Mangshan County.

The cultivators who had been outside the ancient castle, merely watching the spectacle, were suddenly pulled into the void the moment they sensed the Ye Huo flames.

Even True Lord Ye Huo himself hadn’t noticed.

Naturally, this was Jian Wushuang’s doing.

He didn’t want to just stand by and watch as Xiang Yang and Jiang Shang were burned alive.

that moment, in the void, only two figures remained.

One was Wei Jiu Xian, and the other was True Lord Ye Huo.

Standing within the Ye Huo flames, Wei Jiu Xian remained upright.

He gripped his long spear with both hands, struggling to stay afloat in the air. Slowly, with every last bit of strength left in his body, he extended one hand and roared out the final words trapped in his chest.

”Mortal Wei Jiu Xian, invoke the god!”

As the words left his mouth, his entire body collapsed, falling from the flames.

He fell in the direction where Mangshan County had once stood.

Now, this place was shrouded in darkness, hollow and abyss-like, as if no life had ever existed there.

Yet, within that darkness, a single green lotus flower began to expand.

It grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, soon reaching the size of a lotus platform.

Wei Jiu Xian’s body landed on the lotus platform, and he immediately fell unconscious, but

his hands still gripped the long spear tightly.

He lay atop the platform as the last traces of his life force were completely drained, turning the entire lotus a blood-red hue.

Witnessing this scene, True Lord Ye Huo was puzzled.

”What is this?”

He couldn’t quite understand the meaning behind the blood-red lotus platform.

But soon, the color shifted back to green.

The vitality of the lotus grew boundlessly, reaching a level that even caused True Lord Ye Huo

to tremble in fear.

”This... this is a lotus of life seeds!”

True Lord Ye Huo couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

A single life seed was already a priceless treasure, but here, atop this lotus platform, were

countless life seeds.

And the most precious part was the platform itself-it was worth infinitely more than any

supreme treasure.

Hidden in the void, Jian Wushuang was also astonished.

This was something he hadn’t expected.

If he hadn’t been lurking in the void, he wouldn’t have seen this unfold.

The Lotus of Life!

It was indeed a super treasure, reminding him of the fabled Flower of the Other Shore. Absolutely one of the most valuable treasures among the emperors.

Universe Masters didn’t necessarily need it, but they certainly wouldn’t refuse it.

A transcendent cultivator in the Great Perfection stage would undoubtedly be envious! Not only was True Lord Ye Huo envious, but even Jian Wushuang felt a burning desire for it.

If he had waited before, it was to secure an opportunity for Xiang Yang and Jiang Shang, but now he, too, sought this opportunity for himself.

Fortunately, the lotus was still there!

It couldn’t run away, and he wasn’t worried that True Lord Ye Huo could steal it.

Because Wei Jiu Xian had revived.

The invocation of the god was something Jian Wushuang had never seen before.

And it seemed that the god Wei Jiu Xian had invoked was a true deity.

At this moment, only Wei Jiu Xian’s willpower remained. His physical body and soul had

already perished long ago.

Only his willpower drove him to continue.

”True Lord Ye Huo, I will make sure you stay in the Scarlet Eye Realm forever, turn you

completely mortal, and imprison you in the Scarlet Eye Realm for eternity, so you can truly

experience the joys of being a mortal!”

The first sentence was spoken in Wei Jiu Xian’s voice.

But after that, both the power and movements changed.

From the lotus platform, Wei Jiu Xian hurled the long spear in his hand, transforming it into a

streak of rainbow light that pierced through space, heading straight for True Lord Ye Huo.

”No!”

True Lord Ye Huo roared, but it was too late.

The long spear pierced his chest, and like his disciple before him, he died under the spear’s

blade.

And there was another unlucky soul-his nephew Fu Qing-who had perished in his own Ye

Huo flames.

One could say Fu Qing was the unluckiest of them all.

The moment Wei Jiu Xian threw the spear, his body turned into a statue and fell from the lotus

platform.

His last thread of willpower began to fade away.

Seeing this, Jian Wushuang used his thought power to wrap Wei Jiu Xian’s final thread of will

in a gentle force.

He condensed a wisp of his soul, imbued with his own thought power, and injected it into Wei

Jiu Xian’s remaining will.

However, Wei Jiu Xian had only his will left, and it had fallen into slumber. Reviving him would be incredibly difficult.

But helping him return to the heavenly cycle of reincarnation would be easy.

With a flick of his hand, Jian Wushuang sent his soul into the cycle of reincarnation. This was the reincarnation of the Scarlet Eye Realm. Wei Jiu Xian would be reborn in the Scarlet Eye Realm, though his memories would be wiped clean.

”It’s over!”
