Legend of Swordsman

“By doing this, am I truly protecting? Or have I shattered hope?”

At this moment, his mind was already in turmoil.

After all, ordering someone to kill their own people would weigh heavily on anyone.

Even with the most justified reasons, it wouldn’t make it any easier.

Jian Wushuang, standing below, looked up at the Realm Master of the Three Talents.

This reminded him of the Giant Star Spirit.

That being had executed all the Divine Eye Clan members in the name of righteousness.

Those were all his descendants!

Back then, the Giant Star Spirit was arguably the greatest existence in the Starry Sky.

One was the Giant Clan, and there wasn’t much more to say about them— the number one clan in the Starry Sky.

From birth, they could grasp the Origin Source of the Universe and become Universe Masters.

They were born with inherited memories and didn’t need much training. As long as they had sufficient resources, they could become Universe Masters of the Nine Tribulation Realm.

Their only bottleneck was becoming a Universe God.

As for Giant Clan members who had reached the level of Space-Time Gods, Jian Wushuang wasn’t too sure.

Then there was the Divine Eye Clan.

This clan was even more extraordinary, with a potential surpassing that of the Giant Clan.

The reason was that the number of Giants was too few.

Compared to ordinary human beings, they were pathetically scarce.

They weren’t even as numerous as Special Life Forms.

After all, a great world could give birth to many Special Life Forms, and the Universe, Space-Time, and even the Starry Sky itself could nurture them.

When tallied up, the numbers were not insignificant.

But the birth of a Giant was extremely difficult.

On average, there was only one Giant Clan powerhouse per Universe.

Though there were many Universes, the number of ordinary beings within them was far greater.

In comparison, the number of Giants was pitiably small.

But the Divine Eye Clan was different. Their numbers were vast, and their population continued to grow.

Moreover, they possessed secret techniques exclusive to their clan.

As a result, the Divine Eye Clan’s overall strength surpassed even that of the Special Life Forms.

Their numbers were billions of times greater than Special Life Forms.

Given time, the entire Starry Sky would belong to the Divine Eye Clan.

Even if other races still had space to survive, they would have no choice but to practice the Divine Eye Clan’s secret techniques.

That was the terrifying part.

In the end, due to the flaws in the Divine Eye Clan’s secret techniques, the Giant Star Spirit had no choice but to destroy his own offspring.

They were all beings he had created.

The powerhouses of the Divine Eye Clan, who had always revered him as their ancestor, were slaughtered by the very hand they honored.

Faced with such a scene of carnage…

How strong must the Giant Star Spirit’s mindset have been to maintain his composure under such a burden?

Realm Master of the Three Talents had only massacred tens of millions of his own allied cultivators, and his mental state was already collapsing.

The Giant Star Spirit had slaughtered an entire clan—one that he himself had created.

It was akin to killing his own children.

Jian Wushuang had never experienced such an event, so he couldn’t truly empathize.

Previously, he had thought that such things could be endured with gritted teeth.

At most, one would feel sorrow for a while, but that would be it. But today, after seeing the Realm Master of the Three Talents’ mental breakdown, he realized that the Giant Star Spirit must have suffered an immense backlash.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have treated Jian Wushuang so kindly. The Giant Star Spirit must have been trying to make up for the mistakes of the past.

If not, the sins he committed back then would haunt him for eternity.

And that was a torment without end.

“Yunhai, spare his life. This man possesses great determination; he may be useful in the future!”

He could see that Master Sancai had been enduring immense heartache, always wanting to break free. If he could survive this ordeal, perhaps he would become someone of great potential.

Master Sancai’s Origin Source wasn’t weak—it was a First Grade Origin Source. His limit might be reaching the level of Universe Master, but after experiencing this mental baptism, his potential ceiling could be higher. Becoming a demigod wasn’t out of the question. As for becoming a Universe God, that would depend on his fate.

Upon hearing the instructions, Guardian Yunhai refrained from taking further action. Originally, it had been his task to suppress these people, but now, there was no need. He sealed Master Sancai in the sky, and suddenly, the entire underground chamber fell silent. There was no one left.

Jian Wushuang began to focus on studying formations and restrictions. He had to break out of here as quickly as possible. Just as Master Sancai feared, if word of this spread, a large group of Universe Masters would soon arrive. At his current strength, he wasn’t capable of fighting a Universe Master, and his companions were nothing more than a bunch of misfits.

They had been transformed into Golden Armored Puppets, possessing fifty thousand units of divine power, thanks to the blood of the Universe God from the God Eye Clan. While they could dominate among Dao Lords, they stood no chance against a Universe Master. So, in a way, Master Sancai had indirectly helped him a great deal. If they could make it through this ordeal, Jian Wushuang wouldn’t hesitate to assist him in becoming a Universe Master—it would be an easy task. But that would also depend on Sancai’s own fortune. If he couldn’t withstand it, he would be lost forever.

Once the underground chamber was suppressed, Jian Wushuang started searching for the formation’s core without restraint, exploring the mysteries of the formation. The formations at the Universe God level were closely related to strength, comprehension, and talent. Even at his peak, it would have taken Jian Wushuang tens of thousands of years to fully comprehend a Universe God-level formation. However, for the most part, he preferred not to comprehend them, opting to simply slice through them with his sword.

With his current strength, it would still take tens of thousands of years to fully comprehend the formation, but fortunately, Jian Wushuang could accelerate time within the Nine Prison Pagoda. Maintaining a ten-thousandfold time acceleration through the power of the universe was a simple task. Now, he only needed a few years to have a chance to break through the formation. By then, Jiang Ni would have returned triumphantly, and they could explore this sect together, searching for treasures and clues about the God Eye Clan.

A Universe God’s knowledge would undoubtedly contain vast information, and perhaps, they might even discover the whereabouts of the God Eye Clan. Jian Wushuang was eager to find them.

As he pressed forward, Xiang Yang and Immortal Jiu Chen didn’t disappoint him either. Both had accelerated time and began their preparations for merging with the Dao.

On the other side, the great battle between the Sacred Land and the Ancient Court had begun. A million True Immortals had gathered. Since they needed to eliminate those who had sensed the anomalies in the Ancient Domain Star, Jiang Ni hadn’t made a move right away. Instead, he watched as the True Immortals and Dao Lords fell.

The three top-tier Dao Lords of the Sacred Land were almost overwhelming the Dao Lords of the Ancient Court, leaving them with little chance to fight back. Immortal Bai Yue and Lord Long both watched with indifference.

“By my calculation, Jiang Ni should have reached the Sacred Land by now. He’ll make his move tonight, and when he does, the Dao Lords from the Sacred Land will surely return to assist. At that point, the two of us will join forces and annihilate all the True Immortals and Dao Lords here. That should settle things!”

“Ah, suddenly, I feel that winning this war is rather dull. In the past, my hands would be trembling non-stop by now!” Lord Long said with a serious face.

“That’s because we now have a grander goal. Destroying the Sacred Land is a trivial matter. What we truly seek is to become the rulers of the Chaotic Universe!”

“Only by conquering a Chaotic Universe can the Ancient Court and the Human Race exist eternally, safe from prying eyes!” Lord Long declared.

“Jiang Ni will be the first Universe Master. But who will be the second?” Immortal Bai Yue asked with a curious tone.
