Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6468: Jormungandr

Jian Wushuang was still unsure of how many Universe Gods there were in the heavens.

Black Prison continued speaking, now touching on the schemes of Jiu You.

“That guy is the most cunning person I’ve ever met. The treasures he gathered back then weren’t for the sect at all, but for an evil artifact hidden within the sect. The reason he rose to power so quickly was because of that trial—he triggered the evil artifact and was chosen by it!”

Jian Wushuang’s gaze grew more solemn.

He hadn’t expected this surprising bit of information.

… Come to think of it, every Universe God had a world-shattering secret.

It made sense. After all, one couldn’t expect to become a Universe God through ordinary means, as if it were some kind of dream.

“Evil artifact?” Jian Wushuang frowned and pressed further. “What kind of treasure is it?”

Upon hearing the question, Black Prison responded with a hint of resentment, “Oh come on, you’re just teasing me now. That artifact’s aura is identical to yours. You really don’t know?”

Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes, fixing his gaze on the large black orb in front of him.

“So, you knew all along, yet you’ve been leading me in circles?”

He couldn’t help but heighten his awareness, while simultaneously using thought power to search for any treasure that matched his aura.

Black Prison had mentioned that the evil artifact bore the same aura as his.

There could only be one explanation—it must be related to the Realm Beast.

After a thorough scan using his thought power, Jian Wushuang didn’t find the artifact.

However, he suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure, as if someone were gripping him tightly.

“Hm?”

Jian Wushuang shot up to his feet, and the will of the Realm Beast erupted from within him.

Roar!

A deafening sound reverberated, causing the entire ruin to tremble.

“Come out! I know you’re listening!” Jian Wushuang’s true form appeared in an instant.

As his towering Realm Beast form emerged, Black Prison held his breath and instinctively stepped back.

After all, the ancestors of void cultivators were Realm Beasts.

When it came to bloodlines, all life in the Starry Sky descended from the Realm Beasts.

However, void cultivators had inherited the purest bloodlines, making them the equivalent of royal blood.

Unfortunately, Realm Beasts didn’t care about such things. To them, only the Origin Source mattered.

Jian Wushuang’s Realm Beast Origin was still in its infancy.

His will and physical body, though, were that of a genuine Realm Beast.

Shortly after, an ancient voice echoed through the air.

“You cannot be a Realm Beast. No Realm Beast in the Land of Disorder is as weak as you. Who exactly are you?”

“The Land of Disorder may not have one like me, but that doesn’t mean the Starry Sky doesn’t!” Jian Wushuang retorted.

The voice fell silent for a moment before responding, “Starry Sky? Are you a Star Spirit?”

“No!” Jian Wushuang shook his head. If he were a Star Spirit, he would have dragged the speaker out by now instead of wasting time talking.

“That’s right. No Star Spirit would be as weak as you.”

That statement stung, but Jian Wushuang couldn’t find a reason to argue.

He couldn’t very well claim that he was a potential Star Spirit, could he?

“Then let me guess your identity!” Jian Wushuang said with a newfound interest, speaking leisurely. “You must be the Realm Beast that shattered the Realm God Continent, right?”

“You know me?” The voice now carried a trace of excitement.

Jian Wushuang responded confidently, “Of course I know you. I also know that Morosa has always been trying to save you, which is why he’s been consuming the Realm God Continent in the consciousness world!”

“If my guess is right, that place is the Realm God Continent’s consciousness!”

The Realm God Consciousness—it was the will of the Realm God Continent.

The world it manifested was also part of the Realm God Continent.

“Morosa…”

The voice was tinged with nostalgia, as though it had traveled back in time.

“I remember now. Morosa, my good brother. He has been fighting for our ideal, battling that supreme existence!!!”

“Our ideal was to exterminate that group of supreme beings!!!”

Jian Wushuang was suddenly at a loss.

He had been trying to manipulate the speaker, but instead, the conversation had left him completely confused.

Supreme beings?

What was that about?

And Morosa battling a supreme being?

Could they be referring to the God King?

The God King certainly had the power of a supreme being.

But Morosa? He didn’t quite seem up to the task!

Jian Wushuang steadied his thoughts and mockingly said, “With Morosa’s strength, he’s no match for the God King. You’re thinking too highly of him!”

“God King?”

“Who is this God King?”

“He’s the supreme being you’re talking about. He created the Starry Sky!” Jian Wushuang said calmly.

Swish!

In the darkness, a massive arm shot out, its palm reaching for Jian Wushuang and Hei Qiu.

Seeing this, Jian Wushuang used his thought power to isolate the arm effortlessly.

This startled Hei Qiu, who had been trembling in a corner the entire time.

He was terrified of that arm.

Even more so of the conversation Jian Wushuang had just had with it.

“He’s not!!!”

The eye embedded in the palm stared venomously at Jian Wushuang and growled, “The one who opened the Starry Sky is just a clown. He doesn’t deserve the title of Supreme. He’s nothing but a fraud, and one day, he’ll die at my hands!”

“I’ll kill him a thousand times, and it still won’t be enough!!!”

Jian Wushuang covered his nose and said leisurely, “Alright, every one of you says the same thing.”

At this point, his brow furrowed as a thought struck him. He exclaimed, “You’re saying the God King isn’t the Supreme?”

“Then who is?”

The arm trembled slightly, the anger in its tone replaced with a hint of fear.

“Jormungandr!”

“Who is he?”

“He is the Supreme!”

“You said Morosa was opposing the Supreme, and now you’re saying the Supreme isn’t the God King but Jormungandr.”

A name flickered in Jian Wushuang’s mind.

“The Great Realm King God?”

He cautiously uttered the title.

The arm began to shrink, eventually becoming a large black arm about ten feet long. It didn’t speak again.

But its silence was an affirmation.

This revelation gave Jian Wushuang a huge shock.

The Supreme was Jormungandr—that being…

If that were true, he’d have to reconsider his position.

After all, he had walked out of the Consciousness God Realm.

He knew whose side he was on.

This was the Starry Sky, the God King’s Starry Sky.

He was certainly on the God King’s side.

But to learn from this severed arm that the strongest deity on Realm God Continent was actually the Supreme…

Perhaps even the God King couldn’t defeat him.

And the reason the Realm Beasts were frantically attacking Realm God Continent was because of this Supreme.

The Supreme!

Jian Wushuang had witnessed such power in his fragmented memories.

And he was on the opposite side of this Supreme.

For a moment, Jian Wushuang’s mind was in utter chaos.

He couldn’t quite grasp why the Supreme had been able to enter the Starry Sky or why the God King had done nothing.

Why had the Realm Beasts suddenly shifted sides and become allies?

Now he, too, was a Realm Beast.

It seemed that any grudges between him and the Realm Beasts had dissipated, replaced by a sense of kinship.

Jian Wushuang was conflicted.

“Why?”

“Why are you connected to the Supreme?”

“Didn’t you attack the Starry Sky to seek revenge against the God King?”

He bombarded the arm with questions.

The arm slowly drooped, its voice hoarse as it murmured to itself, “Why?”

“That’s a question that haunts me too!”
