Legend of Swordsman

After the destruction of the Ancient Domain, his strength significantly declined. Eventually, he was suppressed one by one, or slain and refined into magical artifacts.

The Ancient Demon’s entire body was considered a treasure.

Especially his blood.

This was the reason why the humans later launched a frenzied attack on the Ancient Demons.

Fortunately, at that time, internal problems also arose within the Heavenly Court. A strong expert of the Divine Eye Clan suddenly fell, and much of the Divine Eye inheritance was reclaimed. This finally halted the siege of the Ancient Demons.

The reason he survived was due to the later suppression.

He was suppressed by an unparalleled Sword Immortal in the Crimson Eye Realm. The artifact used to suppress him was none other than the third-sequence Divine Eye Inheritance Hall.

He harbored deep hatred for this hall. After all, the rise of the humans back then was due to the inheritance of the Divine Eye Clan.

Later, his own suppression was also due to the Divine Eye Clan, so he despised the Divine Eye Inheritance.

He yearned to shatter this Divine Eye Inheritance Hall.

However, when he realized it was the third-sequence inheritance hall, he gave up.

Even in the higher realms, this third-sequence inheritance hall was the top-level Divine Eye inheritance, one he couldn’t possibly break. Even the one who suppressed him back then couldn’t break it.

Otherwise, that person wouldn’t have used this hall to suppress him.

”Hmph, if I can’t destroy it, I’ll use you to obliterate the entire Crimson Eye Realm!”

The Ancient Demon let out a sinister laugh, completely unconcerned about the promise he made to the mortal world.

After all, it was just an exchange. Without his help, the mortals back then would have perished long ago, and there would have been no glory for the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, the glory of the Tang Dynasty was all his doing.

”Hmm?”

The Ancient Demon’s massive eyes shifted, and his Thought power spread over ten thousand miles, sensing that those fleeing cultivators were all heading towards the Tang Dynasty.

From the direction of the Eastern Lands, he felt a familiar aura, one that also came from the Ancient Demon’s bloodline.

”Could there still be members of my clan in the Crimson Eye Realm?”

The Ancient Demon was initially stunned, but then he was delighted to discover that the presence with an aura similar to his own no longer had any life force-it was clearly a dead thing.

”Who would have thought my luck would be this good? As long as I absorb that power, I can restore my peak strength. Even without the Innate Ancient Domain, I could still head to the Upper Realm and seize another ancient domain. Then, I’ll settle the score with the Divine Eye Clan and those inheritors!”

Having made up his mind, he lifted the entire Divine Eye Inheritance Hall and flew up toward the Nine Heavens.

”Let’s start with some interest!”

The Ancient Demon raised the Inheritance Hall and smashed it directly onto the Chaos Realm in the Nine Heavens.

That space was the hardest within the entire Crimson Eye Realm. Back in the day, not a single deity who ascended by shattering the void had been able to break through the Chaos Void; they all ascended by breaking through the space below the Nine Heavens. Among them, the best could only shatter the First Heaven or, at most, the Second Heaven.

It was rumored that someone who had received the complete Divine Eye inheritance managed to break through the Ninth Heaven’s space.

However, the Ninth Heaven’s space ultimately still belonged to the Crimson Eye Realm, while the Chaos Void did not. It belonged to a higher-level world.

Once shattered, the ascendant might not even reach the Seventy-Two Ancient Domains.

Of course, this was only speculation.

But now, he intended to make it a reality.

By shattering the Chaos Void and introducing chaotic energy, he would turn the Crimson Eye Realm into a dead world.

”Smash it for me!”

Boom!

The Ancient Demon lifted the Divine Eye Inheritance Hall and struck the Chaos Realm with force.

Instantly, the entire world trembled.

Not just the Northern Region but the entire Crimson Eye Realm quaked.

”Hmm?”

The Ancient Demon looked at the Chaos Realm, slightly surprised to find that not a single

crack had appeared.

That strike should have been powerful enough to shatter the Nine Heavens.

Yet, it hadn’t left even the slightest mark on the Chaos Realm.

”Damn it, my strength is being too heavily suppressed. If it weren’t for the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, I could have shattered this Chaos Realm with just a casual strike!”

The Ancient Demon struck the Chaos Realm several more times but still failed to break through. Frustrated, he gave up.

”If I can’t break the Chaos Realm, then I’ll shatter the Nine Heavens. From now on, there will be no more ascendants from this world!” The Ancient Demon let out a wicked laugh, descended into the Nine Heavens, and smashed the Divine Eye Inheritance Hall directly into

them.

Rumble!

This time, the impact was even greater.

The entire Crimson Eye Realm trembled for the time it took an incense stick to burn, causing flat lands to suddenly give rise to mountain ranges, while places that had been mountains became deep chasms.

This great supernatural power that altered the landscape led to countless deaths among

mortals.

But the most terrifying part was yet to come. The shattered Nine Heavens turned into fragments of space, falling from the sky.

Countless black spatial crystals rained down on the world.

With the Nine Heavens shattered, the fragments of space fused with the human world,

making what had been a fragile space several times stronger.

As a result, all cultivators lost the hope of shattering the void and ascending.

From then on, ascension became a distant dream.

Yet, the people deep within Mangshan County’s city were completely unaware of the changes

outside.

However, one immortal who exuded an aura of true divinity ground his teeth as he watched the black rain droplets fall from the sky, angrily declaring, ”Just wait! If you dare go to the Upper Realm, I’ll be sure to cut you down!”

His anger wasn’t over the shattering of the Nine Heavens or the fact that the Crimson Eye Realm could no longer produce ascendants.

What enraged him was that the third-sequence Inheritance Hall had been fused into the shattered Nine Heavens.

As a result, it would be much harder for him to enter the third-sequence Divine Eye

Inheritance Hall.

He had come to the Crimson Eye Realm precisely for that Inheritance Hall!

And now, that foolish Ancient Demon had tossed it into the fragmented space. Although it appeared to be floating in the sky, entering it now would require matching space fragments.

But those fragments had already fused with the ground’s space.

Finding matching fragments would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

”This is a big problem!”

The Immortal and his junior sister, Fu Qing, stood guard outside the ancient fortress.

Wei Jiuxian also looked up at the falling raindrops, but his expression showed no fear.

It was as if everything had been within his expectations.

Seeing his expression, the Immortal seemed to have guessed something and asked, ”Did Fancheng leave you a backup plan?”

”Just a small trick!” Wei Jiuxian replied calmly.

The Immortal sighed, ”Then don’t do anything unnecessary. Use whatever tricks you have left

and flee quickly! That Ancient Demon once ruled an Ancient Domain. His strength is beyond

comparison with you mortals.”

”How would I know if I don’t try?” Wei Jiuxian’s tone was firm.

The Immortal and Fu Qing exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of pride in their eyes-a

disdain for mortals.

They came from the Upper Realm and knew more. In the entire Crimson Eye Realm, they only acknowledged Fancheng.

The Upper Realm’s power was not as simple as those legends made it out to be; it was so powerful that mortals couldn’t even begin to imagine it.

The Upper Realm now was no longer the era of the Ancient Demon. Most of the records in the

legends belonged to the time when humanity united to fight against the Ancient Demon, a

time long past.

Though it was now countless times stronger, their power was still suppressed in the Lower

Realm.

While the Ancient Demon’s strength was also suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, his base power was a thousand times that of the human race-they were still no match for him.
