Legend of Swordsman

His means were far superior to those of his past opponents; he was absolutely an existence on par with Mie Sheng.

If the person behind all this knew what Jian Wushuang was thinking, he might have let out a smile.

Because he thought too highly of himself.

The Ninth Tribulation realm was indeed powerful, but compared to the Death God in the Starry Sky, it was still far inferior.

That was a true god.

Universe Masters who could achieve the status of demi-gods were very few.

Let alone those comparable to true gods.

The gods in the Starry Sky and the gods born in spacetime were worlds apart.

The gap between them could not be bridged.

This was also why no true god from the subsidiary rivers of spacetime would stay in spacetime to cultivate; they all went to the Realm God Continent.

The difference was too great.

Only the Realm God Continent could be comparable to the Starry Sky.

It was also where the strong from the four subsidiary spacetimes and even the Starry Sky gathered.

Because even gods needed to improve themselves.

Look at Mie Sheng.

Whether it was Mie Sheng seeking to advance further or Danbao perfecting his Life secret methods, it all required cultivation and scheming.

They could not just sit idly by.

Even gods needed to cultivate and seek opportunities.

Cultivators even more so; they wanted to become stronger.

The Universe Masters of the Ninth Tribulation realm were not enough; they needed to achieve the status of demi-gods or even rival the gods.

They had to break through the boundaries of the universe.

If they had no chance of attaining godhood, they had to become the gods of their own universe.

Universe Gods!

Jian Wushuang learned of this term from Frolasa.

“Universe God!” he couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

Perhaps this was the highest position!

If there was no godhood, then he would create one with his own hands.

But his universe contained a Starry Sky.

And now he had to take a new path. What should he call himself then?

“Starry Sky God?”

He shook his head, feeling he was thinking too far ahead.

For now, he needed to focus on his opponent.

The former Ninth Tribulation Universe Master, known as a demi-god.

“Let’s go!” A confident expression appeared on his face. Knowing some information about the opponent, he no longer felt tense. Instead, he casually said to Hu Qing, “I found him.”

Hu Qing’s face lit up with joy. Even his own calculations hadn’t revealed anything, yet Jian Wushuang managed to locate the opponent.

“It seems your Thought strength has increased significantly with your cultivation, Brother Wushuang!”

“Don’t be modest; compared to your Zen insight, I’m far behind. I just happened to learn something from an old acquaintance!” He smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was actually due to that power.

And the words Frolasa had said caught his attention.

Hu Qing’s Zen insight couldn’t predict it because the opponent had never existed in the Northern Spacetime.

It was beyond Hu Qing’s understanding.

The prediction could only sense an unknown threat, which kept them on alert!

Now that they were prepared, they were less worried.

They didn’t need to fly anymore; they directly tore through the space and teleported to the source of the threat.

A cave mansion exuding a dark red aura.

“This is it!”

He looked at the cave mansion and found nothing special; there were no formations around.

It didn’t look like a place where a strong person would retreat and rest.

According to Frolasa, the opponent was merely a Scattered Tribulation who was barely surviving.

Although he was in the Ninth Tribulation realm, he had lost his Origin Source, and even his divine body was shattered.

Only in the Starry Sky, where life was abundant, his life level had been elevated to perfection.

He wouldn’t die.

But he would deteriorate.

Deterioration was not like death.

It was something more terrifying than death.

Because once deteriorated, resurrection was useless.

Unless he could rebuild his divine body.

Even if he no longer needed the Origin Source and took the divine body route alone.

But rebuilding the divine body was no different from reincarnation.

Divine power was in the divine body. If the divine body had to be reforged, they might as well

start over with the soul too.

Sure, here is the translated script in past tense:

Without divine power, and with the Origin Source shattered after failing the Tribulation, only the soul remained. Starting from scratch, no matter how strong one’s state of mind was, it was difficult to reach new heights.

Moreover, it would be ten times more exhausting than the first time.

One would only avoid a few detours.

The early stages would go smoothly, but the later stages would be a kind of torment.

No one would use this method.

Most would choose to reincarnate.

But countless strong individuals disappeared after reincarnation.

Because to recover their past life memories, they needed to surpass their previous life’s

achievements.

Thus, countless reincarnated strong ones were lost.

But this was the best approach.

If unwilling to let the soul sink, one would fall into a closed loop, unable to surpass their

peak.

Tribulation!

Far more cruel than they had imagined.

Originally, they thought that reaching the Ninth Tribulation realm was the end.

Unexpectedly, there was still this barrier blocking their way forward.

The one in the cave had reached this dead end.

Of course, this was what Jian Wushuang believed.

He couldn’t figure out what the other party’s real purpose was.

Surely they weren’t here to sightsee in the Northern Spacetime!

Stretching his wrist, Jian Wushuang shouted loudly, “Sir, are you inviting us into the cave to

catch up, or will you come out to meet us?”

Either they went in, or the other party came out to meet.

Jian Wushuang could accept either choice.

He truly wanted to see how the other party managed to create the Nianshen Secret Realm,

able to isolate the Northern Spacetime, achieving true isolation from the heavens.

At this moment, they were like on the Realm God Continent.

Without restrictions.

“No movement?”

After shouting, the two waited for a long time, a full incense stick’s time, without any

movement, which made Jian Wushuang feel a bit awkward.

They had no choice but to be invited in.

Facing the dark red cave, Jian Wushuang felt no fear.

He wanted to see what was hidden inside!

Bang!

Jian Wushuang took a step forward but was stopped by Hu Qing before entering the cave.

“Brother Wushuang, why don’t I go ahead and explore, and you cover from behind!” “No, we can’t split up, it’s better to act together!” Without any hesitation, he directly rejected

Hu Qing’s suggestion. Although confident, he was not arrogant.

Splitting up left him without confidence.

Hu Qing’s strength was three points higher than his.

Before reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm, he couldn’t guarantee victory over Hu Qing.

The other party, like him, was also extraordinary, unable to fight across realms against Hu

Qing.

Together, without the constraints of divine power, they could face a Ninth Tribulation realm

opponent.

But if separated, it would be risky.

Seeing his determination, Hu Qing couldn’t argue further.

He prepared to enter together.

But at this moment, a violent force burst out from the cave.

Jian Wushuang struggled to resist, his divine power constantly shrinking.

His whole being began to wither.

“The King of Decay!” Jian Wushuang gritted his teeth and shouted, “I know who you are, no need to hide!”

This time, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a response.

“Oh?” A lazy voice came from the cave, followed by a slightly surprised question, “Did Juyang

tell you?”
