“Instant Void Sword!”
Luo Lingkong unleashed his Instant Void Sword! A single, decisive strike, and countless phantom sword bodies shattered into dust. A brilliant flash of light surged into Luo Lingkong, instantly washing away his exhaustion.
He swiftly moved to the second trial. Again, a single sword strike. No retreat, no hesitation.
Luo Lingkong was surprised. This Heavenly Sword Sect’s philosophy perfectly mirrored his own: one sword, one life, one death.
Each successful trial flooded Luo Lingkong with immense cultivation insights and power, culminating in a thunderous breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor Realm!
In the final trial, despite having just reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm, he was pitted against a Three-star Great Emperor!
Luo Lingkong’s face was devoid of fear. “We Sword Cultivators live and die by a single blade!” His sword flashed.
He was outmatched, but he did not fall. The true test of the final stage was Willpower.
Luo Lingkong had passed the Heavenly Sword Sect’s assessment. An ancient, resonant voice boomed, “All things in this world are bound by a single sword. Today, I grant you the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Inheritance. May you carry its legacy and make it shine!”
Instantly, an ethereal spirit sword materialized and plunged into Luo Lingkong’s forehead, initiating the profound Inheritance.
...
In the perilous Above Emperor Realm Area, the Supreme Profound Sect, Silent Destruction Sect, Demon Court, and other formidable powers had already mobilized. Their forces were Traversing the Void, converging on the Outer Starry Sky.
Simultaneously, several Quasi-Dao Supremes had been dispatched to eliminate the Grand Dao Sect’s Old Ancestors, Dao Ming and Dao Yang.
Yetian, clad in a regal purple robe, stood atop an Ancient Spirit Shuttle. Beneath his feet, endless Dao Patterns pulsed, propelling the shuttle like a bolt of lightning towards the Outer Starry Sky.
The sheer expanse of the Bronze Ancient Palace’s starry sky was staggering. Even after several days, they had only Traversing the Void through half of the inner region.
Yetian’s expression was grim, but then a communication jade slip in his robes vibrated.
His divine sense swept through it, and a pleased smile stretched his lips. “The Silent Destruction Sect has located Old Ancestors Dao Ming and Dao Yang.”
“Excellent,” another Old Ancestor behind him declared, his voice cold. “Annihilate them both! This time, within the starry sky, the Grand Dao Sect will cease to exist!”
Numerous Outer World Yin Soldiers stood silently on the Ancient Spirit Shuttle. Some bore the insignia of the Supreme Profound Sect, others, chillingly, the Dao Patterns of the Grand Dao Scripture.
Yetian’s face was a mask of icy contempt. “Grand Dao Sect, your very Ancestor, Dao Yi, submitted to our Ancestor, Liu Ruyan! What makes you think you can contend with us now!?”
Elsewhere, the formidable forces of the Demon Court were also on the move.
Three colossal Spirit Boats tore through the star river, treasures of immense power acquired by the Demon Court from Outer World Ruin factions.
Their speed dwarfed even the fastest Spirit Boats in the Southern Wilds by severalfold!
Feng Tianxiao, an Old Ancestor of the Xuan Turtle Race, sat cross-legged at the stern of one Spirit Boat, his body as unmoving as a small mountain. Faint Dao Patterns stirred across his ancient back.
During this journey through the starry sky, he had seized a profound opportunity, breaking through to the Two-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme realm. Now, having stepped onto the Supreme Path, he had a chance to contend for the ultimate Supreme Fruit Position!
After all, the Southern Wilds had few Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supremes, and many of them were already old and withered, lacking the vitality to withstand the baptism of Starry Sky Power.
Feng Tianxiao’s white beard trembled with anticipation. After we eliminate Lu Xuan this time, it will be my chance to seek out even greater opportunities! If I can break through to Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme, then I’ll finally have the standing to challenge the Demon Lord himself!
Beside him, Demon General Zhu Xiong gripped a Three-pronged Rake, his body surging with immense Demonic Power, his eyes burning with a vengeful fire.
The humiliation of his Giant Pig Race being reduced to mere food by Lu Xuan was a wound that festered within him. He would not tolerate it!
Zhu Xiong turned to Feng Tianxiao, bowing respectfully. “Elder Feng, after we kill Lu Xuan this time, I request his body. I have... great use for it.”
Feng Tianxiao gave a slow nod.
Zhu Xiong let out a chilling sneer, his teeth grinding. “Lu Xuan! This time, I swear I will devour your flesh and drink your blood!”
Far, far away, in a desolate Outer World Ruin, Old Ancestors Dao Ming and Dao Yang of the Grand Dao Sect’s “Dao” lineage were in hiding.
The Dao Patterns here were faint, the ambient spiritual energy withered, making it a truly perilous land. The two Old Ancestors, cloaked in their long robes, sat cross-legged, still mending their grievous injuries.
For a brief period, the relentless pursuit from countless factions had eased, allowing them to seize a few opportunities in the desolate Outer Starry Sky.
But in the last few days, the hunt had resumed with renewed ferocity.
Dao Ming’s face was etched with worry. “I’ve heard rumors that in the Outer Starry Sky, our sect’s Lu Xuan has slaughtered quite a few Half-step Supremes! That’s why the Demon Court and the Holy Alliance factions are so enraged!”
Dao Yang scoffed, his voice cold. “Good riddance! We’re two old geezers with one foot in the grave, our lives are cheap. If Lu Xuan can rise on the Supreme Path, fulfill our Ancestor’s dying wish, and reach the Supreme Realm, then we can die with a smile!”
Just then, a thunderous BOOM echoed, followed by a sharp CRACK! The void itself tore open, space twisting violently.
From the gaping rift, a chilling aura of silent destruction emanated.
The next instant, Elder Qianli of the Silent Destruction Sect emerged, leading an Outer World Yin Soldier. The Outer World Yin Soldier was wreathed in mysterious Dao Patterns, profoundly intricate. A closer look would reveal the unmistakable aura of the Grand Dao Scripture itself.
Elder Qianli slapped the Outer World Yin Soldier. Instantly, the Dao Patterns unique to the Grand Dao Scripture on its form flared with divine radiance. A moment later, a similar aura resonated, pinpointing Dao Ming and Dao Yang’s hidden location.
“Dao Ming, Dao Yang, stop hiding!” Elder Qianli’s voice was a frigid whisper.
Dao Ming and Dao Yang exchanged a bitter glance.
To be found like this, it was truly their Ancestor who had screwed them over!
These were Outer World Yin Soldiers once condensed by their Ancestor, Dao Yi, but they had been stolen and summoned by the Supreme Profound Sect! Now, these powerful factions were using the Dao Patterns on the Outer World Yin Soldiers to track their every move!
What a simp, Ancestor!
The two Old Ancestors cried out in dismay. Without a moment’s hesitation, they plunged into a pre-arranged grand formation, desperate to escape!
“Dao Ming, Dao Yang!” Elder Qianli’s voice was glacial. “Though this Outer Starry Sky is vast, there is no place for the Grand Dao Sect to hide!”
With that declaration, Elder Qianli and his contingent gave chase.
...
In a distant corner of the Above Emperor Realm Area, Chen Changsheng was Traversing the Void, expertly piloting a massive Super Great Domain.
Lu Xuan, meanwhile, was lounging on a recliner, observing the boundless starry sky with a serene expression.
Next up were the Quasi-Dao Supremes! But Lu Xuan felt no fear, not even a flicker.
Besides, he still had a One-star Supreme Experience Card tucked away. He was already invincible beneath these stars!
A day later, in the far distance, members of the Demon Court were also Traversing the Void.
Suddenly, Demon General Zhu Xiong’s brows furrowed. He pointed at the massive domain Lu Xuan was piloting. “What in the hell is that? Why does it shine like a great sun, reflecting across the void?”
At his words, the numerous Demon Court powerhouses were instantly alerted.
They all extended their divine senses, probing the distant anomaly.
What they saw was like a colossal sun hurtling towards them, its speed astonishing. The light it emitted grew steadily, intricate Dao Patterns swirling around it, a truly captivating and terrifying sight.
The Demon Court experts were utterly bewildered. “What is that thing?”
A moment later, Feng Tianxiao slowly opened his eyes. “Someone has linked together numerous great domains and is Traversing the Void with them.”
Demon General Zhu Xiong snorted derisively. “Are they just showing off?”
Feng Tianxiao explained, “It’s certainly an efficient way to collect Star Stones more quickly. One can even comprehend the Heaven and Earth power of Outer World great domains this way. So, no, it’s not entirely useless.”
Several hours later, Demon General Zhu Xiong was still fixated on the rapidly approaching domain. Then, his eyes widened as he spotted Lu Xuan’s figure.
His face twisted into a monstrous snarl, murderous intent erupting like a volcano. He roared, “Lu Xuan! It’s you!”
