“My sword… returns!”

With the low shout of the Sword Master Evil Corpse,

Atop Wuji Peak!

The charred black box instantly opened.

The moment the box opened, a world-shaking Sword Intent surged out forcibly.

With one sword, even the towering Wuji Peak crumbled with a rumble, and the connected mountains were leveled simultaneously!

Extremely terrifying!

Inside the charred black box, a sword slowly floated up!

The sword… was densely covered with cracks, and even many splits and holes on its body.

The entire sword looked as if it had shattered once, and then had been glued back together.

Yet, despite this, the sword still emitted a towering Sword Might.

“Swoosh!”

At that moment, as if sensing the call of the Sword Venerable, the sword gently hummed, turned into a long rainbow, and flew instantly to the hands of the Sword Venerable.

Sword Venerable looked down, gently caressing the long sword.

A faintly dark True Bone was embedded within the hilt of the sword, seemingly condensing the shattered Blade Shards.

The gaze of the Sword Venerable lingered momentarily on the faintly dark True Bone—this was not his bone.

However, he remained expressionless and didn’t mind it.

“My sword is named ‘Limitless.'”

He slowly spoke, then raised his hand!

Lifting the sword.

Sword light arose!

The entire Sword Domain seemed to boil, with towering Sword Qi like waves, and endless Sword Intent like a tide.

“All of you… can you handle my one sword?”

He thrust his sword towards Dugu Yuqing and Yin Xu’an!

With this thrust, the entire Martial Desolate Realm trembled instantly, the sky annihilated, the earth quaked, as if piercing through everything, the terrifying Sword Intent swept forth like a towering river.

“Excellent, very strong!”

Upon seeing this, excitement flashed through Yin Xu’an’s eyes.

That expression, akin to a centenarian bachelor suddenly seeing a naked beauty…

“Boy, I’ll defeat your past life first before I defeat you!”

Yin Xu’an spoke to Dugu Yuqing, then took a step forward; at this moment, his whole body also shimmered with world-shaking Sword Intent.

The just-described, disheveled Yin Xu’an now seemed entirely transformed into a long sword.

With no sword in his hands, but his body as a sword, he soared into the sky.

Sword Qi was world-shaking, seemingly capable of repressing eternity.

A clash was imminent between the Sword Master Evil Corpse and the supreme Sword Dao practitioner Yin Xu’an.

“At the end of the path lies emptiness, and with one stroke of my sword, I shall cleave it!”

Whispered the Sword Master Evil Corpse, the long sword slowly tracing the sky, executing a decisive strike in the sky.

This sentence was left by Sword Venerable before his death.

It was also the pinnacle of his life’s Sword Dao, as he slashed out at a certain path.

That was the summit of his Sword Dao.

That was the murderous aura that had violently surged through the Grey Mist Sea, the unwavering pursuit upon the ancient path, the decisive slash when facing a certain dark trail…

This sword, exhausting all his life’s strength, desired to slash through the eternal emptiness, extinguish an unparalleled foe, and for countless lives, forge a path of peace!

This sword, irresistibly mighty and unstoppable, surged like the heavens overturning, boundless as the universe in tumult!

On Yin Xu’an’s face, there appeared an unprecedented appreciation and ecstasy, his hands clasped together, he delivered a Condensing Spirit Sword strike that shattered billions of stars in the Star Vault!

From Yin Xu’an’s body emanated a dazzling and brilliant sword light, one that was bright to the extreme, yet seemed ethereal!

Where his sword light shone, the world around him seemed to exist between reality and illusion.

A heavenly spectacle, like a Heavenly Abyss, sprawled before him.

Boom!

The Supreme Sword Dao’s supreme sword intent swept in, like charging into an endless abyss, seemingly lost like dropping a mud ox into the ocean.

Yin Xu’an stood calmly, the sword intent of the Supreme Sword Dao unable to approach him within a ten-step radius!

However, in Yin Xu’an’s eyes, there flashed a complex mixture of emotions at this moment.

There was astonishment, admiration, appreciation, and even a deep sense of regret!

He observed the sword intent of the Supreme Sword Dao and saw countless visions…

It was a Supreme figure, who couldn’t journey any further due to the urgent need to stand up and combat the powerful enemies from all heavens.

It was a Sword Cultivator, facing the grey sea, who never took a step back, trembling the powerful enemies from all heavens with his sword, and surprisingly repelling ancient grey paths with his Ascendant Path cultivation!

It was a hero, traversing all heavens, breaking through all foes, who even stepped onto that legendary path and, furthermore, along a certain dark trail, released a world-shattering sword strike…

“I retract what I’ve previously said.”

Yin Xu’an spoke slowly, his eyes gravely pronounced:

“If it was the same realm, I… might not be certain to win against you!”

“From your sword intent, I’ve witnessed the Great Fearless Sword Dao!”

“It’s a pity… you died too young, you truly deserved the phrase, ‘Heaven envies the talented!'”

It was hard to imagine, Yin Xu’an, such a proud Sword Dao powerhouse, uttering such an appraisal!

In fact, at this moment, respect indeed arose in his heart.

The Sword Dao he practiced was to follow one’s heart, to emerge naturally, hence during the great turmoil in the Grey Mist Sea, he had chosen to retreat into seclusion and bury his head in avoidance.

But, the Sword Venerable of the past, not as strong as him, resolutely went forth, risking his life!

Had it not been for an accident, perhaps in that era, the Sword Venerable’s Great Fearless Sword Dao would have shone brilliantly.

Even he, Yin Xu’an, might have ultimately only been able to look up to the Sword Venerable’s radiance.

…

Now, the Supreme Sword Dao, however, was only with his eyes roiling with grey mist, the shattered sword buzzing, and he pronounced word by word:

“Slash, Void, Delusion!”

The Sword Dao’s energy surged a hundredfold!

Yin Xu’an shook his head and said:

“This sword, indeed strong enough, might have threatened the former me.”

“But, having witnessed the one at the End of Myriad Paths forging a sword to open the Heavenly Abyss, I’ve made my gains.”

“I have cultivated the Abyssal Sword Qi, though not comparable to that truly stunning sword that opened the Heavenly Abyss… yet, your sword cannot slash through the real void or move my Abyssal!”

He was very calm, embodying the sword, a ten-thousand-li long rainbow, seemingly invincible, allowing the hundredfold sword intent of the Supreme Sword Dao to sweep in, yet remaining entirely motionless!

The two were enduring each other!

But, Yin Xu’an was very confident.

Because, his Abyssal Sword Qi… in a sense, was inherited from that one at the End of Myriad Paths.

He could never forget, that woman facing all foes of the Grey Mist Sea alone, when the endless Grey Mist Path extended, her crimson eyes spanning all heavens, with one sword strike, she opened the Heavenly Abyss!

The Abyssal One Sword, severing ages eternal!

Guarding the Sword Master Evil Corpse for many years, he had been comprehending, comprehending that sword that opened the Heavenly Abyss.

“You put down your sword, you haven’t really lost, it’s just, I have lived longer than you.”

Yin Xu’an looked towards the Sword Master Evil Corpse, sensing a kindred spirit within.

However, the Sword Master Evil Corpse did not give up!

At that moment, a voice faintly rose, saying,

“If the two of you deplete each other for too long, it would be quite boring.”

“Stop now, and take one of my swords!”

This was the voice of Dugu Yuqing!

At this moment, he stood tall in the sky!

In his hand, he held a brush.

It was the Phoenix Sky Brush that Li Fan had personally made for him using chicken feathers from the courtyard.

Such brushes were scarce in the courtyard; only three existed.

Zi Ling’s Phoenix Feather Pen, Dugu Yuqing’s Phoenix Sky Brush, and Lin Jiu Zheng’s Fire God Brush.

Dugu Yuqing wielded the brush as a sword, taking the endless Sword Venerable Domain as his canvas, raising his pen to manipulate the boundless Sword Qi of the Sword Venerable Domain!

—His realm was only at Six Storages, but now, he could invoke the Sword Qi of the Supreme Sword Dao’s domain, thus exhibiting the power of a Supreme Level with his Sword Dao!

“At the end of the path, all is illusion, with one slash of my sword… cut it away!”

Dugu Yuqing, powering the Phoenix Sky Brush, involved the Qi of the Sword Venerable, stroke by stroke, writing in the air.

His entire being seemed detached from worldly concerns, in deep contemplation, his method of wielding the brush derived from the Dao Proliferation Five Scripts!

In his mind echoed the words of his departing master…

“Base it on regular script, and infer the way of running script!”

Each character, each stroke, stirs the Ten Thousand Li of great land!

At this moment, due to the charred iron box, that line of text that had appeared was suddenly swept away as if letters written on thin sand blown away by a fierce wind… Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Seeing this scene, the Sword Master Evil Corpse couldn’t help but turn his hollow eye sockets towards Dugu Yuqing!

“Superior to the Dao of your previous life?!”

Yin Xu’an was also slightly startled.

The line of text on the ground before was left by the Sword Master Evil Corpse just before his demise, representing his Sword Dao.

And now, it had been destroyed…

Did this mean that the Sword Dao displayed by Dugu Yuqing now surpassed that of the Sword Master Evil Corpse?!

And Dugu Yuqing had already written the first character.

“End!”

This character emerged, and beneath Dugu Yuqing’s feet, suddenly a billion-zhang sword light appeared, being the endless imprint of the Sword Dao, condensing and forming a Great Way of Sword Intent!

Immediately following, he wrote out each character!

“Conclusion!”

“Head!”

“All!”

“Illusion!”

“False!”

The first sentence had been fully written!

At the end of the path… all is illusion.

His letters, agile like a dragon or a serpent, stretched like a Divine Dragon moving across the age-old sky.

The sprawling Sword Intent beneath his feet seemed to transform into an endless staircase of waterfalls, faintly reflecting mystical paths that appeared to traverse the ages, penetrating the Sky Domain!

At the end of those illusory paths, it seemed there were palaces of Sword Dao Halls of illusions.

So mysterious!

His words similar to those of his past, yet revealed a completely different marvel!

Yin Xu’an exclaimed in great shock,

“What kind of Sword Dao is this… that it even brings reflections from myriad Sword Dao Paths?!”

He was astounded!

In his earlier days, when he had achieved the Abyssal Sword Qi, similar phenomena had appeared.

But the reflections of the myriad Sword Dao Paths weren’t as numerous, and he hadn’t seen the palaces at the end of those paths!

Meanwhile, Dugu Yuqing had finished writing the second sentence!

“With one slash of my sword, cut it away!”

As this phrase emerged, instantly, the spectral images of the myriad Sword Dao Paths were directly destroyed!

Including the palaces at the end of the path, all silently annihilated, turning to nothing.

Moreover, at the end of the Sword Dao Path beneath Dugu Yuqing himself, a palace formed of the imprints of ten thousand swords… almost materialized!

That… was the Ultimate Celestial Phenomenon triggered by Dugu Yuqing!

Just as this Ultimate Celestial Phenomenon appeared, the overwhelming Sword Intent also directly struck towards Yin Xu’an and the Sword Master Evil Corpse!

“This is… seeing a ghost… oh no, seeing heaven!”

In this moment, Yin Xu’an was both shocked and delighted, the Sword Dao that he had been waiting for through ages had now… actually appeared!

However, seeing the terrifying Sword Dao Heavenly Waterfall coming his way, his expression drastically changed, and he shouted,

“Can we not fight anymore?”

“Let’s strike a deal, surrender and lose half!!”

But he had no choice, as the Abyssal Sword Qi in his body burst forth entirely, blocking this sword!

“The palaces at the end of the Sword Dao… how could…”

The Sword Master Evil Corpse, his face covered with stony skin, showed an unparalleled shock, as if waking from a deep dream.

“No… There is no path ahead in the Sword Dao… only evil spirits waiting, those transformed into ghosts, waiting to devour everything… all the roads in the world are impassable!”

“Why… you are but my dormant phantom… why can you find a path?!”

He was puzzled, angry, and sorrowful, as if multitudes of emotions erupted from his dead heart!

He raised his sword, also striking towards Dugu Yuqing’s Sword Dao Heavenly Waterfall!

Boom!

The Sword Dao erupted, but the entire Sky Domain seemed to turn into a black hole.

Unseen by anyone!

All realms in silence!

Even Wu Dade and Wu Xiaokun down below couldn’t help but close their eyes.

After a long, long time,

…

Wu Dade finally opened his eyes, only to see the Sword Venerable’s endless Sword Domain had already dissipated.

Yin Xu’an looked exhausted, lying on the ground ahead, grabbing a wine jug and drinking heavily, his breathing a bit rapid.

And the Sword Master Evil Corpse was also kneeling on the other side, supporting himself with his Wuji Sword, laden with cracks.

Above in the Sky Domain, Dugu Yuqing slowly lifted his pen.

“It’s not that you two are too weak… but that my master is too strong.”

“To face the two of you together, you still don’t match a fraction of my master… In losing before my master’s Dao, you, do not lose face.”

He spoke calmly.

…
