Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6492: Finale

Palace Master Xingyao, a four-star peak Universe God, was unable to enter the Heavens.

Now hearing Jiang Haichao claim he had a way in, of course, she was interested.

However, Jiang Haichao responded with a sneer, “Your strength is insufficient, so stop daydreaming. To be frank with you, my true form is about to emerge. If you’re smart, just wait and prepare to welcome my true form!”

After saying this, he chose to self-destruct.

Unfortunately, in front of a four-star peak Universe God, he wasn’t qualified to do so.

Palace Master Xingyao reached out her hand, firmly grasping Jiang Haichao in her palm.

After probing slightly, her expression immediately changed.

“It’s the Shanhai Secret Realm… You’re that serpent from the Shanhai Secret Realm?”

At this moment, she was no longer as composed.

If that serpent emerged, it could devour the entire Ninefold Space-Time. Next in line for disaster would be the Three Thousand Islands.

“Tsk tsk, it seems no one remembers my name—Fu Hai. They only remember the second soul of the Honorable Lord!”

Jiang Haichao’s eyes were filled with madness at this moment.

This avatar of his carried more memories.

These memories, even Jian Wushuang had not been able to search through.

Because the avatar that had been searched had its memories removed.

“Chen Gu, pass the order—immediately notify all Universe Gods to follow me to the Ninefold Space-Time and suppress the Shanhai Secret Realm!”

“Yes!”

The white-haired elder, Chen Gu, bowed and left.

As for Jiang Haichao, he was taken away by Palace Master Xingyao.

She then fell into deep thought.

Those were the days ruled by the Heavens.

That serpent…

As she was lost in thought, a beautiful figure entered.

“Mother, what happened? Why are we suddenly returning to the Ninefold Space-Time?”

The newcomer had a pair of purple eyes.

If Xiang Yang saw her, he would definitely go mad.

Because this person was Xing Luo.

An hour later, all the Universe Gods from the Three Thousand Islands had gathered. A mighty army of Universe Gods began their journey towards the Ninefold Space-Time.

At this time, they crossed the sea as if stepping through shallow waters.

Far away in the Shanhai Secret Realm, Jian Wushuang knew nothing of this.

Meanwhile, Jiang Haichao was still immersed in his joy, completely disregarding Palace Master Xingyao.

The difference between a four-star peak Universe God and an almost five-star Universe God was vast.

Not to mention, there was also the second soul of the Honorable Lord—a genuine six-star Universe God—capable of sweeping through everything.

Most importantly, he could finally leave this world and head to the legendary Realm God Continent.

“Hm?”

At this moment, Jian Wushuang slightly frowned and said in surprise, “Someone is blocking the door outside?”

“Who?”

Everyone immediately turned to look.

However, upon hearing about the outside, they were all confused.

Only Xiang Yang reacted, quickly asking, “What about your true form? Can you reach it now?”

“Of course I can, but the person blocking the door is a bit special!” Jian Wushuang said with an awkward smile.

The fact that even Jian Wushuang’s true form considered this person special made Xiang Yang gasp in surprise.

Although he had never seen Jian Wushuang’s true form, he had seen Jian Wushuang’s avatar back then, and that avatar had the combat strength of a seven-star Universe God.

Outside World.

The entire Realm God Continent had vanished. At this moment, it had completely merged into the Starry Sky.

In other words, the cover that had shielded it from chaos was gone.

Jian Wushuang’s true body had turned into a stone statue, standing tall in the midst of the Starry Sky.

His opponent was no stranger.

“Should I call you Realm God, or Jormungandr?”

Jian Wushuang’s ethereal figure flew out, facing the white serpent in mid-air.

A single eye was visible on the serpent’s forehead.

It stared at Jian Wushuang for a moment before speaking, “Jian Wushuang, you are indeed still alive!”

“The serpent beneath the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm wasn’t you, was it?” Jian Wushuang shook his head slightly and then added, “Regardless, we don’t have to be enemies. Why interfere with my plans?”

Jormungandr raised its massive head and let out a heavy breath. “You and I are destined to be rivals. This is fate. Without me, you cannot pass your Divine Tribulation, nor can you earn the title from Xuan Mingzi. Without that title… you will never ascend the Mountain of Chaos!”

“The Mountain of Chaos?” Jian Wushuang asked in surprise. “You certainly know a lot, but even if I don’t pass the Divine Tribulation, you still won’t be my match!”

As his words fell, the stone statue shattered.

Since the battle was inevitable, there was no need to hold back.

Jian Wushuang’s full power returned once again.

His eyes shone with fighting spirit as he unleashed his strongest attack.

“The Eighth Sword!”

“I shall call you… Mountain and Sea!”

Clang!

He drew his Tribulation Sword and gently swung it. The sword light turned into a vast river of stars, sweeping across half of the Starry Sky.

Unfortunately, the current Starry Sky was almost devoid of life.

Jian Wushuang could only sense the presence of life deep within the core of the Starry Sky, likely where the Realm Beasts had broken through.

But that didn’t concern him. What mattered was whether this sword could kill Jormungandr.

Buzz!

The sword light swept across.

Jormungandr’s figure blurred as it tried to evade.

But the power behind this sword was not something that could be nullified by shifting through space.

It carried the weight of karma, bloodlines, breath, soul, life, and even individual consciousness!

“Lost memories should not resurface in this world. The chaotic world will eventually be brought to order because of this!”

Jian Wushuang didn’t withdraw his sword but instead unleashed another strike.

“The Ninth Sword!”

It had no name, for it was born of chaos!

“This…”

Jormungandr was shocked.

“How can this be?”

“You haven’t even passed the Tribulation or ascended the mountain to earn a title. How can you kill me?”

This time, Jian Wushuang sheathed his sword and turned to enter the vortex below, which connected to the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm.

As for the sword light that had swept across the Starry Sky, it exploded in an instant.

Ever since his Thought power had merged with his true body after emerging from the Mountain and Sea Realm, he had not passed the Tribulation, but it was as if he had.

Or perhaps, because of the existence of chaos, he no longer needed to.

Now, all that remained was to conquer the ninth level of the Nine Prison Pagoda, and he would reach the pinnacle in one step.

Mountain and Sea Secret Realm!

A moment had passed in the outside world, but inside, centuries had flown by.

The Palace Master of Starshine, leading three thousand Universe Gods, had already reached the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm.

Thankfully, Jian Wushuang’s clone, the thousand-vine Guardian Yunhai, was able to hold them off for a moment.

At this moment, the Realm of Mountains and Seas was fully opened.

Jiang Haichao laughed heartily as waves surged.

Jiang Ni, meanwhile, became aware of the existence of the outside world, her eyes full of confusion.

Jiu Chen was worried, fearing that after offending the Palace Master of Xingyao, he would have no place to call home.

Xiang Yang, initially excited to leave, felt a surge of anger upon seeing Xing Luo.

All those years of love, tens of thousands of years of feelings, weren’t even worth a glance from her?

Xing Luo also noticed Jian Wushuang and Xiang Yang.

“It really is the two of you. I never expected that after all these years, you’d still be alive!” Xing Luo stood tall, raising her head proudly. “Did you open the secret realm of Mountains and Seas? Such reckless behavior—do you even know the terror sealed inside?”

The Palace Master of Xingyao’s face darkened. There was no need for her daughter to say anything further because Jiang Haichao had already emerged, carrying the now-shrunken secret realm of Mountains and Seas.

Behind him, in the dense blue mist, a massive serpent soared into the sky.

Its aura was so powerful that it suffocated everyone present.

A Six-Star Universe God!

And Jiang Haichao was a quasi-Five-Star Universe God.

Time seemed to slow down.

But Jian Wushuang’s hands moved swiftly. He used the Gui Yun Vine, continuously grasping at the still-slumbering members of the God Eye Clan.

He didn’t care about anyone else.

Right now, he only wanted to use the God Eye Clan to unlock the ninth level of the Nine Prison Pagoda.

Boom!

The next moment, battle erupted.

The aura of the Palace Master of Xingyao surged to the level of a Five-Star Universe God, catching everyone off guard.

Before she could even act, the aura of the white-haired elder beside her began to shift.

And just before the serpent could unleash its power, it was instantly suppressed by the white-haired elder.

“Haha, I, Chen Gu, should really thank you all. Without you, I would have never escaped this realm!” he said, his entire body engulfed in the green mist. In an instant, his figure expanded to a height of millions of feet. With a wave of his hand, he obliterated thousands of Universe Gods, absorbing their bloodlines.

His whole body turned blood-red.

“Blood God?” The face of the Palace Master of Xingyao changed drastically. She never expected that the legendary Blood God had been hiding by her side.

Jiang Haichao was dumbfounded. He had thought himself invincible with his lord present, ready to suppress everyone.

But someone else had stolen the prize.

Blood God Chen Gu sneered at everyone, his expression filled with disdain. “The blood running through your veins is mine. Now it’s time to repay me!”

With that, he struck out with his palm.

The aura of a Seven-Star Universe God instantly shattered the surrounding space-time.

Jian Wushuang, who had been focusing on his task, shook his head helplessly.

“How bothersome!”

Whoosh!

A tiny figure appeared above the secret realm of Mountains and Seas.

It was a young man, carrying a divine sword on his back and clad in dark red armor.

He appeared in the middle of the battlefield, yet no one noticed him.

The young man raised his hand, and an endless burst of sword energy, unmatched by his appearance, erupted.

Blood God Chen Gu didn’t even have time to feel fear before he was completely shredded into a cloud of blood mist.

Jian Wushuang’s true body descended in front of Xiang Yang and the others, smiling faintly.

“Allow me to introduce myself—this is my true body!”

He then turned to Jiang Ni, nodding slightly.

He had already arranged for Hui Qing to meet her, and soon, father and daughter would be reunited.

“Brother Wushuang, your true body… what level is it, exactly?” Xiang Yang asked, his eyes wide.

The others were even more curious.

Earlier, Blood God’s combat strength had clearly been at the peak of a Seven-Star Universe God. If he had absorbed all the bloodlines, he would’ve become an Eight-Star Universe God.

Yet he had been annihilated by a single strike of Jian Wushuang’s sword energy.

“Strength is an illusion. You’ll understand once you’re out of here,” Jian Wushuang’s true body said, before moving to help his clone collect the Gui Yun Vine.

At the same time, he sent a telepathic message to Xiang Yang, instructing him to lead everyone out of this world.

Soon, this world would collapse.

Because he had ascended.

Earlier, Blood God had exterminated all life to condense their bloodlines.

Now, only the Palace Master of Xingyao and her people remained. Naturally, they didn’t dare defy Jian Wushuang, and they left this world through the vortex.

Jian Wushuang’s clone merged with his true body.

“Ninth level, open!”

The Nine Prison Pagoda floated into the air, out of his control.

At this moment, his Origin Source began to transform.

There was no need to undergo a tribulation—he had completed his ascension to Universe God.

Or was it Time-Space God?

Neither title seemed quite right.

Even Jian Wushuang himself didn’t understand his current realm.

He only felt that if he willed it, even the starry sky created by the God King might be destroyed by a single strike of his sword.

Even those supreme beings from his dreams now seemed like mere ants in his eyes.

As his curiosity peaked, the Nine Prison Pagoda emitted a bright light, splitting open.

From within the holy light, a staircase appeared.

“Is this the path to Mount Chaos?”

It made sense—Senior Brother Gui Yan had said that once he opened the ninth level, he would meet their master.

Now, with the appearance of the staircase to Mount Chaos, it was time for that meeting.

He stepped onto the staircase, and the space around him shifted.

In an instant, he left the Ninefold Time-Space, the God King’s starry sky, and even the Land of Chaos.

Because, in his world, there was order.

Or rather, now, he could create ordered worlds at will.

The first step of the staircase brought memories.

He saw his past self in the Sword Pavilion.

The second step showed him in the Realm of Divine Fire, and with a casual gesture, he righted all his past regrets.

On the third step, he saw the familiar Universe Gods, yet they knelt before him.

“An existence beyond the timeline… the old man was hiding a lot!” Jian Wushuang shook his head.

By the fourth step, he had reached the Great Division, with nothing more to reminisce about.

From that point on, he had simply been a seeker of the Dao.

However, upon seeing his past self in the Heavenly Maiden’s Time-Space, he couldn’t help but find it amusing.

And so, he continued up Mount Chaos, following a seemingly orderly journey, until he finally reached the summit.

It was empty, with no one in sight.

“Master Xuan Yi!”

He had a strong premonition and tried calling out.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Master Xuan Yi appeared.

Jian Wushuang’s eyes reddened, and a surge of emotions filled his mind.

“Star Officer Xuan Mingzi, greets the Supreme!” Xuan Yi wore a respectful smile, his eyes filled with gratitude.

This sight left Jian Wushuang both surprised and somewhat disappointed.

It was exactly as he had expected.

Just as he had imagined.

He thought of Xuan Yi, and Xuan Yi appeared in this world.

He thought of light, and this world had light.

Reaching this point, it wasn’t Xuan Yi motivating him anymore.

It was him motivating himself to the point where whatever he willed, became reality.

Omnipotent!
