Legend of Swordsman

Everyone as a dragon!

”Kill!”

At that moment, all the mortals in the world roared out this single word.

Wei Jiuxian charged toward the Ancient Demon.

Billions of mortals rose up against the powerful beings that had oppressed them.

In that moment, the hearts of the masses united as one.

He, Wei Jiuxian, was the ruler of this world.

His body transformed into the red-eyed realm’s manifestation of the Heavenly Dao, displaying a truly invincible stance.

At that moment, it wasn’t the secret art of the Divine Eye, nor the life seed within him that he relied on.

It was the collective breath of all the people in the world, propelling him toward the Ancient Demon.

Even the Ancient Demon with its nine heads trembled in its heart. Facing this unstoppable spear, its domain shattered in an instant. Despite using its eight arms to unleash divine powers to block the attack, they were swiftly torn apart.

”No!!!!”

With an unwilling roar, the Ancient Demon bellowed. Even in the ancient times, it had never faced death, but now, it was about to fall at the hands of a mere mortal, a native of the Red- Eyed Realm.

The unwillingness and humiliation caused its massive eyes to explode.

In those eyes, the last image it saw was the spear charged with the power of a dragon heading toward it.

In the next moment, the heavens and earth collapsed.

The enormous eyes of the Ancient Demon shattered completely.

At that very moment, its life force crumbled.

Its body disintegrated, and the blood of the Ancient Demon dyed the earth red.

In the sky, with its domain gone, the third sequence’s Hall of Inheritance also fell to the ground.

Only Wei Jiuxian remained standing in mid-air, gripping his long spear like a peerless warrior guarding the gate of heaven. The Ancient Demon’s blood boiled, dancing on the tip of his spear, but in the end, it unwillingly slid down the shaft, falling onto the mortal land below. The Ancient Demon was slain!

He had done it.

The entire sky was illuminated by Wei Jiuxian’s figure.

”My name is Wei Jiuxian, a mere mortal of the Red-Eyed Realm!”

”Today, I declare that there shall be no more cultivators, no more powerful beings under this sky!”

He swept through the world.

It wasn’t just empty talk-he had truly done it.

Standing on the city walls, Li Miao gazed at Wei Jiuxian in shock. His heart surged with emotion, yet was filled with disappointment.

He had hoped to witness Wei Jiuxian being slain by the Ancient Demon so that he could step forward and be the savior.

Then, he would have looked down at Wei Jiuxian’s corpse and said, ”You were wrong.”

This world needed powerful beings to suppress it; only then could it be a paradise.

But today, Wei Jiuxian, with the body of a mortal, had slain the Ancient Demon.

It was a hard slap to Li Miao’s face.

He felt jealousy, resentment, but he also acknowledged it. Wei Jiuxian had said it, and he had done it.

At that moment, he forgot to look behind him at the Blood Condensation Formation.

Immortal Jiu Chen had successfully forged a body with a life force five thousand times stronger, and his spiritual form possessed a soul level five hundred times more powerful. The two had fully merged into one.

”It worked!”

Only Jiu Chen paid no attention to Wei Jiuxian outside.

He was basking in the joy of success. His towering human figure, a hundred feet tall, instantly shrank to normal size, and he donned a black robe, flying straight toward the city walls.

”Immortal Master!” Li Miao saw Jiu Chen approaching, but he wasn’t particularly excited, only responding faintly.

Immortal Jiu Chen looked at the hovering Wei Jiuxian, then glanced at Li Miao and said, ”Are you feeling that Wei Jiuxian might be the savior, stealing your spotlight?”

”Yes!” Li Miao was honest, with no need to hide it.

While others marveled at Wei Jiuxian’s strength, he was jealous of his actions.

”Haha, your mortal heart has not yet been extinguished,” Immortal Jiu Chen chuckled softly. He was in a good mood because his success had finally come. With his life force magnified five thousand times, though he hadn’t mastered the Divine Eye technique, his sheer physical and spiritual strength could easily crush everyone present, so he remained so composed.

Upon noticing that Li Miao was feeling down, he offered some comfort, saying, ”Showing off in front of mortals isn’t something to be proud of. Once you ascend to the higher realms, you’ll have everything you desire. There’s no need to compete with mortals, understand?”

”I understand!” Li Miao, regaining his composure, nodded firmly.

Now that Immortal Jiu Chen had succeeded, and the ancient demon outside had fallen, all that remained was to retrieve the essence blood. With that, a second physical body could be formed. However, his soul was still lacking, so he needed to perform the death array again to condense the Ghost Emperor.

That could be accomplished using the souls of those cultivators.

In his mind, everything was already within reach.

”I’ll head out and deal with that boy. You stay inside the city and wait!” After speaking, Jiu

Chen took a step forward, walking through the air toward Wei Jiuxian.

Seeing how powerful Wei Jiuxian was, both Zhen Xian and Fu Qing realized that this was their

chance.

Wei Jiuxian didn’t care about the ancient demon’s corpse, but they did!

The two Arhats, whose mission had been to protect the mortal realm, had completed their task. Both bowed their heads, reciting their mantras in silence, and with the resolution of karma, they ascended in broad daylight.

In the past, the combined ascension of two Arhats would have been a grand event in the

cultivation world.

But at that moment, it was overshadowed by Wei Jiuxian’s presence.

So, not many people paid attention.

However, on the city wall, Zhang Xiansheng and others trembled with jealousy.

Watching others ascend while their own souls were about to be refined filled their hearts with

immense resentment.

Why wasn’t that them?

Had they known this outcome, they would likely have chosen to align with the Old Ancestor of

the Tang Dynasty.

But now, it was too late. All they could do was stand there and watch.

Meanwhile, their focus shifted to the gathering forces outside the city-three factions, four

individuals.

They still had hope.

If Jiu Chen and Li Miao failed, they could potentially reconstruct their physical bodies.

An intact ancient demon body was of immeasurable value.

If the ancient demon released all its power, it could reignite the glory of the Red-Eyed Realm

from ancient times.

Moreover, the essence blood, skin, and bones could be used to craft a body that would multiply their strength a thousandfold. They didn’t need a large body; a human-sized one

would suffice.

It wasn’t mere wishful thinking-this was a real possibility.

In mid-air, Wei Jiuxian gazed coldly at the three people. Privately, Zhen Xian communicated with him, proposing a partnership.

He also sent a similar message to Jiu Chen.

But Jiu Chen completely ignored the two higher realm cultivators.

If he could rely on others so easily, that would be one thing. But Jiu Chen still believed the Divine Fire Hall was within the altar, so he wasn’t afraid of the higher realm experts. At worst, he would summon the Divine Fire Hall.

With his current power, he could fully absorb his true form. Once that happened, he could

control the Divine Fire Hall and suppress the entire Red-Eyed Realm. Even an Immortal wouldn’t be able to enter.

Seeing that Jiu Chen was unwilling to cooperate, Zhen Xian shifted his full attention to Wei

Jiuxian.

”Let’s work together!”

”Brother Wei, if we collaborate, I only need thirty percent of the ancient demon. I will help

you kill Jiu Chen, and afterward, I’ll leave with my junior sister and never return to the Red-

Eyed Realm!”

Though Zhen Xian said this, how could he never return after gaining such a great advantage?

With thirty percent of the ancient demon’s blood and flesh, he could create a life body two thousand times stronger. Although it would be less than a hundred feet tall, it would be enough for him to transcend. After that, he could return to the Red-Eyed Realm, seize the rest of the body, and destroy the entire realm. No one would know of the benefits he had reaped.

As for his junior sister, she was from the same sect. At worst, they could split the gains evenly, which would be enough for both of them to reach the immortal level.
