Legend of Swordsman

At some unknown moment, Jian Wushuang felt a pain in his neck and woke up.

....At that moment, he was lying on a soft bed.

“You’re awake!” A somewhat familiar voice made Jian Wushuang struggle to open his eyes.

With some disbelief at the person before him, he overcame his body’s fatigue and sat up directly, staring at the woman in front of him, saying, “How can it be you?”

“Have you forgotten your promise back then?” The woman said and then disappeared.

Promise!

Yes!

He seemed to have made a promise to an ordinary woman on Demon Sound Mountain.

Jian Wushuang just remembered, but the other party had already disappeared.

Phew!

Now he fully understood.

This place is definitely not real, or perhaps it is real.

It’s just different from what happened in his original time and space.

“I should be on Mahayana Spirit Mountain now!” Jian Wushuang’s eyes were determined.

As for the current time and space, it should be in the future.

In the future, he failed in the Dao Merge.

He embarked on the road of no return.

The Temple of World Annihilation really carried out the act of world annihilation.

“Senior Wushuang!” a shout made Jian Wushuang open his eyes again.

This time, Jian Wushuang was not surprised. Seeing the young man with dark skin and a lean body in front of him, he calmly said, “Xin Jiu!”

It was the wandering cultivator he encountered in the Human Realm. Just as he saw at that time, Xin Jiu’s potential was enormous, and now he had become a supreme-peak powerhouse.

“Where are we going?” Jian Wushuang quickly immersed himself in this new world, not dwelling on past matters.

Living in the present, he didn’t understand why he found himself in a future time, but regardless of where he was, he was determined to step onto the boundless path.

He had to traverse the path of the strong.

Xin Jiuduan lifted a bowl of water, handed it to Jian Wushuang, and said, “The Infinite Valley has been destroyed. We are heading to the Demon Sound Mountain now. It is still intact, and Divine General Moyin will be alive. We can resist for a while there.”

“Good!” Jian Wushuang nodded, stabilized his breath after taking a sip of water.

After briefly familiarizing himself with his body, he realized that his current strength was hundreds of times more powerful than before merging with the Dao, but he couldn’t sustain prolonged battles at the moment, or he would fall.

“Xin Jiu, I need to ask you, how did Qishen Temple perish?” Jian Wushuang voiced the doubts in his heart.

He needed to understand why Qishen Temple in the future timeline suddenly collapsed.

Xin Jiu lowered his head, furrowing his brows, reluctant to bring it up.

“Speak, I can handle it!” Jian Wushuang’s absorbed memories were fragmented, and he had no recollection of the destruction of Qishen Temple in the future timeline.

“It was Lord Zhen Ling!” Xin Jiu’s eyes held back tears, struggling to say, “Lord Zhen Ling, with his own hands, destroyed Qishen Temple!”

“Before the collapse of Qishen Temple, Lord Zhen Ling moved everyone to the temporal river!”

Jian Wushuang was completely stunned!

The water bowl in his hand fell, making a crisp sound, and only then did Jian Wushuang regain his composure.

Zhen Ling destroyed Qishen Temple.

This was truly unexpected.

If the future timeline deviated from his original timeline, it shouldn’t be Zhen Ling destroying Qishen Temple!

Could it be?

Jian Wushuang suddenly thought of something.

Mie Sheng, in the beginning, had the freedom to come and go at Qishen Temple, perhaps understanding it even more than Zhen Ling.

The other’s identity was mysterious, likely connected to the Qishen of the past.

Behind all this, it was probably the Qishen of the past who set up this chessboard.

In the future timeline, Zhen Ling, for the grand plan of Qishen, chose to abandon Qishen Temple.

After realizing this, Jian Wushuang took a slow, deep breath.

The arrival of Qishen Temple brought him endless opportunities and countless illusions.

Now it was time to break through all of this.

“Xin Jiu, I’m sorry!” The determination in Jian Wushuang’s eyes intensified, and his aura suddenly reached its peak.

In the future, the Eternal Ancient Transformation was even stronger!

Now, he probably could rival the Tribulation realm.

With just one punch, he knocked out Xin Jiu, a formidable supreme-peak expert.

The revelation of his aura attracted many people rushing in.

“Wushuang, what are you doing!” The first to rush in was Ji Chaoyang. As an Ultimate Emperor, he was considered the leader this time, and his strength was extremely powerful, already a perfect supreme-peak expert, not inferior to the Divine General Moyin.

Jian Wushuang walked forward slowly, his voice cold and stern, “Doing what I must do!”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Mie Sheng has suppressed his strength to supreme-peak to devour you. Going alone means certain death. As long as you’re alive, we still have a chance!” Ji Chaoyang shouted in anger.

Jian Wushuang raised his hand, exerting a slight force, and said, “I’ve long lost the power of Life. You don’t need to worry about me being devoured!”

For some unknown reason, when he arrived in the future timeline, he unexpectedly lost the power of Life.

Ji Chaoyang was also startled. Although he knew little about Mie Sheng, he understood that the other party came for the Life power inside Jian Wushuang.

Now Jian Wushuang indeed had no Life power.

They had been guarding Jian Wushuang, knowing well that they could have killed him, but no one dared to make that move. Moreover, they had lost hope long ago.

Mie Sheng had nearly destroyed the entire river of time and space. They protected Jian Wushuang only to prevent Mie Sheng from devouring him.

“During this time, thank you all. Please allow me a dignified farewell!” Jian Wushuang slightly bowed to the approaching crowd.

In reality, there was no need for them to protect him. They could have simply killed him, but that would have infuriated Mie Sheng.

However, they chose to guard him.

Initially, the one-third of the Origin Source of All Things was not wasted at all.

At least, it led these people to choose to protect him.

They guarded the Original Universe, guarding the current temporal river.

“Jian Wushuang!”

Without hesitation, Jian Wushuang rushed out of the flying hall and entered the river of time and space.

He was heading back to the Infinite Valley.

A great battle was still raging there.

Boom!

Jian Wushuang spared no effort, unleashing his full power, transforming into a stream of light flying towards the Infinite Valley.

Since the Dao Merge had failed, and the Life power was gone, he felt like a discarded chess piece, with nothing worth reminiscing about.

Better to die in battle.

“The future world is truly desolate!” Everywhere Jian Wushuang passed, many temporal secrets turned into ashes.

Just after flying for a quarter of an hour, he felt the power in his body gradually decreasing, and the backlash made him suffer immensely.

Qianxing Buddha’s words were right from the start; it was indeed a tremendous torment.

Watching his hometown perish and enduring the torment of the failed the Dao Merge.

He was a very strong-willed person.

A person who would go to any lengths to become stronger. The difficulties he faced in refining his physical body back then were unimaginable, and he never retreated.

Now, facing the failure of the Dao Merge, how could he accept it?

Infinite Valley!

Dongsheng, along with a few tier 6 Emperors, resisted hundreds of tier 6 Emperors and dozens of supreme-peak experts, including Ultimate Emperors.

“Haha, they managed to escape. Today, my death wasn’t in vain!” Dongsheng laughed wildly, shaking his finger. At the tip of his finger burst forth the last glimmer of the Origin Source within him.
