Legend of Swordsman

“With a life level a million times greater, it would be enough to crush a Dao Master. If it were ten million times, even an Emperor Lord might kneel!”

The owner of the face was, of course, not the Ancient Demon.

The Ancient Demon’s maximum strength was five thousand times, and even if he could increase it to ten thousand times, that would already be the limit of the Ancient Domain World.

Moreover, this face was the Origin Source of all special life forms, or rather, all life forms.

“A Realm Beast!”

The face belonged to a Realm Beast.

In this world, or rather, the entire Realm God Continent, only Jian Wushuang could transform into a Realm Beast.

The face belonged to none other than Jian Wushuang in his transformed state.

Seeing everyone trembling in fear, unable to even stand, Jian Wushuang found it rather boring and reverted back to his true form.

The first to be shocked were not the people inside the Ancient Demon’s Palace, but the few individuals inside the Nine Prison Pagoda.

“Jian Wushuang, what exactly are you? In that state just now, why couldn’t I sense any trace of your life?” Immortal Jiu Chen’s eyes were filled with shock.

Just moments before, Jian Wushuang’s life level had suddenly increased, surpassing one hundred thousand times from ten thousand, nearly forcing him to kneel on the spot.

But then, the life aura suddenly disappeared.

Xue Yang, however, felt it was quite normal and mocked Jiu Chen, “Old man, haven’t you experienced nine worlds already? Why don’t you tell us what level Brother Wushuang is at? If Brother Wushuang hadn’t suppressed this place just now, you’d likely be kneeling too!”

Of the three, only he had witnessed Jian Wushuang’s prowess in the past.

Even though it was just a clone, he had the power of a Seven-Star Universe God.

That level of strength was something the natives of this world could never comprehend.

Jiu Chen found himself at a loss for words and, not wanting to engage with Xue Yang, kept silent.

Jiang Ni, on the other hand, grew even more curious about Jian Wushuang’s identity.

Inside the Ancient Demon’s Palace.

Jian Wushuang ignored the few people from the Nine Prison Pagoda and instead looked at Elder Tian Can and Fairy Ziyu.

The most surprised by his appearance was Fairy Ziyu.

At that moment, she opened her mouth to ask a question, but before she could, the oppressive force she felt disappeared, and she let out a long breath.

That oppressive force was far more terrifying than facing a Dao Master.

When facing a Dao Master, she felt as if she were confronting a scorching star, utterly powerless. But in front of Jian Wushuang, it was as if she were facing her natural master, an innate sense of submission.

If Jian Wushuang had ordered her to die just then, she might not have even hesitated.

“Fairy Ziyu, we meet again!” Jian Wushuang smiled faintly.

Fairy Ziyu dared not act prideful and hurriedly bowed, saying, “Earlier, I was ignorant. Please, senior, do not take offense!”

“No need to call me senior, for I am merely an ordinary cultivator in the Mahayana stage, without even possessing the power of immortality. You are all my seniors!” Jian Wushuang waved his hand, releasing everyone from the oppressive force.

Once Elder Tian Can regained his senses, he first looked at Jian Wushuang in terror, then quickly knelt and pleaded, “Senior, please save me. For the sake of our previous cooperation, please take me away from the Twin-Faced God Palace!”

“Naturally,” Jian Wushuang nodded.

The elder had mentioned foreign world experts earlier, and Jian Wushuang just happened to want to learn more about other great worlds.

Taking an undying immortal out was too easy for him.

Upon seeing Jian Wushuang agree, Elder Tian Can kowtowed repeatedly, expressing his endless gratitude.

Little did he know, he was about to enter another cycle of reincarnation, and it might not be better than following the Twin-Faced Buddha.

Jian Wushuang dismissed the first two people, then turned his gaze to Guardian Yunhai, asking, “Aren’t there any words from the two of you?”

“Huh?” Guardian Yunhai was the first to lower his head, replying respectfully, “If Senior has any questions, please ask. I will cooperate fully!”

Jian Wushuang nodded and said, “Good. Let’s start with the battle between the foreign expert and your Dual-Faced Lord.”

Guardian Yunhai certainly hadn’t expected him to ask about that, but after a moment of thought, he realized it made sense. Jian Wushuang had infiltrated the Dual-Faced Divine Mansion under a false identity, likely to investigate this matter.

Now, facing Jian Wushuang, a powerhouse even more intimidating than their Lord, Guardian Yunhai had no intention of hiding anything and immediately spilled all the details.

It turned out that three hundred years ago, the Dual-Faced Buddha had clashed with a mysterious cultivator in the chaotic void and returned gravely injured.

Upon his return, most believed it was Yang Dingtian who had done it, so no one dared to reveal the truth. Only a select few knew that the real reason behind the battle was a foreign expert.

As for the reason they fought, only Guardian Yunhai knew the truth because he had been present at the time.

The scenes from that day still made him tremble whenever he recalled them. The foreign expert had been piloting a cosmic flying vessel, an artifact surpassing the value of most supreme treasures, classified among the ranks of Universe Treasures.

Such a vessel could move at speeds a thousand times faster than ordinary emperors, especially when traversing chaos, where its speed could increase to ten thousand times faster, depending on the fuel used.

If the energy source was divine power from an emperor, the speed could rival that of a Tribulation realm expert. If the fuel was immortal power, then it could only match the peak strength of an emperor.

However, the vessel’s defensive capabilities were equally overwhelming, comparable to the might of a Universe Treasure. Its value was also on par with those rare treasures, and naturally, its owner’s strength was extraordinary.

Yet, the expert within the cosmic flying vessel had sustained grievous injuries—his divine body had been destroyed, leaving only a physical body and a damaged consciousness.

The Dual-Faced Buddha, hoping to seize an opportunity, launched an attack. But he had underestimated the cosmic vessel, and its passive defense alone severely wounded him.

Still, he could sense that the energy within the vessel was nearly depleted. He attempted to follow the vessel from behind, hoping to strike once its energy ran out.

But the vessel kept drifting toward the Ancient Realm, and fearing discovery by the emperors within, the Buddha launched a deliberate attack, forcing the vessel to change course and head deeper into the chaos.

Once again, the Buddha was severely injured by the vessel’s defense, to the point where surviving in the chaotic void became impossible. He had no choice but to retreat with Guardian Yunhai and his men to the Dual-Faced Divine Mansion.

Upon returning to their base, the Buddha immediately began recovering his strength, sparing no effort or cost until he regained eighty percent of his power. Then, he ventured back into the void in search of the vessel, but he never found it again.

For decades, he searched tirelessly. For reasons unknown, he eventually withdrew and gave up.

Even Guardian Yunhai did not know why.

“That’s it?” Jian Wushuang raised an eyebrow.

Guardian Yunhai quickly nodded, saying, “Senior, I swear it’s all true. After the Lord failed to find it, he secluded himself in the mansion and hasn’t emerged in the last three hundred years.”

“Tian Can, it’s your turn now!”

Seeing that Guardian Yunhai truly knew nothing more, Jian Wushuang turned the questioning to the old man, Tian Can.

This man had claimed to know the foreign expert’s hiding place, but after listening to Guardian Yunhai’s story, even he realized that things might not be so simple.

Three hundred years had passed, and the Dual-Faced Buddha hadn’t left the mansion, nor had he ventured into the void again to search for the cosmic flying vessel.
