Legend of Swordsman

Jian Wushuang, a Universe God-level expert, was a supreme force no matter where he went.

Even among the Shenyan Clan, there weren’t many like him. Those creatures they encountered carlier, the ones that escaped from this world, were likely the remnants of the souls of powerful Shenyan Clan experts.

Unfortunately for them, they fled in the wrong direction.

Once outside, they would most likely be eliminated by the experts of the Realm God Continent.

If they had stayed, they might have slowly revived, just like the one Luán did.

Then, they would all be absorbed into the Nine Prison Pagoda by Jian Wushuang, becoming fuel to enhance his Shenyan Secret Technique.

No matter which path they chose, their fate was grim.

However, living was still better than falling.

Moreover, there was a chance that Senior Brother Guiyan might return. The Nine Prison Pagoda was only assisting Jian Wushuang’s Shenyan Secret Technique; it wasn’t truly his to keep.

Of course, he had never planned to keep it.

Once his Shenyan Secret Technique reached perfection, he would return the Nine Prison Pagoda to Senior Brother Guiyan.

Whether the Shenyan Clan would be freed or not after that, he didn’t mind either way.

Breaking the rules of the Starry Sky had nothing to do with him.

If anyone was to interfere, it would be the Star Spirit.

Still, he remembered the Shenyan Clan’s kindness and hoped they would find a good ending.

Jian Wushuang continued setting up within the temple, arranging as many hidden countermeasures as possible.

But no matter how he prepared, today, the fall of the Two-faced Buddha had to be announced to the world.

Thus, his preparations would not be enough to stop Yang Dingtian.

In the end, he created a mustard seed.

He placed within it his Destroyer War Weapon, three silver puppets, and several useless trinkets he no longer had any use for.

The only pity was that none of the Two-faced Buddha’s renowned treasures remained.

There was nothing else he could do, so he modified a few supreme treasures’ Origin Sources, infusing them with powerful Extreme Dao Origins, forcefully elevating their level to peak treasures.

For someone new to refining treasures, this was his limit.

After all this was done, there was only one thing left to do-becoming the Two-faced Buddha.

Jian Wushuang suddenly sat cross-legged in the spot where the Two-faced Buddha had sat earlier, his appearance slowly morphing into that of the Buddha himself. Whoosh!

He took a deep breath and stood up again.

The one standing up was his true self, while the one disguised as the Two-faced Buddha became a clone.

His real body faded into the void, melding into the space around him.

The clone disguised as the Two-faced Buddha remained in the Twin-faced Divine Hall,

This was the final trick he left behind for the Twin-faced Divine Hall.

His true self stepped out from the void and appeared over the watery region of the Twin-faced Divine Hall.

Mist swirled around, the air was damp, and dark clouds loomed above. Beneath, in the dim lake, giant creatures moved.

Massive, ancient trees, devoid of life, lay dormant at the bottom of the mist-covered lake.

Enormous beasts swam in the depths, lurking and hunting.

This place was called Huze Mountain.

Jian Wushuang followed the aura of Jiang Ni and the others to this location.

Now, he was hiding atop the root of a massive tree floating on Huze.

The surroundings seemed quiet, but in reality, a hidden danger lurked.

In the misty fog, shadows flickered occasionally.

It was a blood-red figure,

That made it all the more noticeable.

Jian Wushuang did not use any blood-colored secret technique. He was simply heavily injured, causing his blood essence to spill out and make his entire aura appear

crimson.

He fled cautiously, though his pace was not fast.

He leaped back and forth across the lake, moving with care.

He remained constantly vigilant.

Even when he passed by the tree root where Jian Wushuang was seated, he paused for

a moment, waiting for the root to stabilize before leaping away again. ”Interesting,” Jian Wushuang remarked as he sat on the tree root, his fingers lightly tapping the surface of the lake.

A stream of invisible Thought power sank to the bottom of the lake.

The skies above were shrouded with dark clouds, and the water below was pitch black. Only vague shadows of large creatures could be seen moving beneath the surface.

However, none of these creatures gave off a strong aura.

At most, they were at the Great Realm King level in strength.

They were nothing more than a few strange beasts.

But far beyond those figures, a massive object, resembling an underwater mountain, suddenly trembled.

A mere subtle movement from this giant caused the enormous creatures hunting below to scatter in terror.

The mountain-sized object, seemingly stirred by some aura, suddenly awoke, causing the colossal creatures below to flee in all directions. Some even leaped out of the

water in panic.

A crow perched on a branch above the water was unfortunate enough to be swallowed by one of the lake’s monstrous beasts.

The beast didn’t return to the depths, instead perching on a massive bush, trembling

violently.

The reason was simple: the mountain at the bottom of the lake had started moving.

At the same time, the entire lake began to tremble.

The massive beast that had leaped onto the bush quickly fled.

Along with it, dozens of other huge wild beasts, each over a hundred meters in size,

burst from the water.

They began fleeing for their lives!

Even the blood-colored figure running away was startled.

”What’s happening?”

Seeing the enormous wild beasts running alongside him, he was utterly dumbfounded.

Yet, it wasn’t a bad thing for him.

In fact, it was a blessing in disguise, as he could blend in with the wild beasts and

escape alongside them.

Without further hesitation, he rushed forward, now leading the charge.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the lake, a group of three-a man and two women-

was recklessly probing the auras below.

Sensing the countless wild beasts fleeing within the lake, they all frowned.

They descended, standing on the surface of the water, trying to investigate. ”Brother Jiu Chen, didn’t you say you sensed that kid fleeing here?” Xue Yang rubbed

his temples in frustration.

Ever since they were sent here by Jian Wushuang, the three of them had been hunting

True Immortals.

Now, only one six-step True Immortal remained, but after being heavily injured, he

had fled to this area, and they had lost track of him.

Jiu Chen was the one leading the way.

This guy had many tricks up his sleeve, and his ability to sense auras was even more

refined than Xue Yang’s.

Jiang Ni and Xue Yang had followed Jiu Chen’s lead.

Now, only one six-step True Immortal remained, and they had already severely injured him. Yet, as soon as they reached this place, he vanished.

With the lake now in chaos and countless wild beasts running rampant, it wasn’t good

news for them.

The situation had become even more chaotic, making it difficult to track down the

injured True Immortal’s aura.

”Stop interrupting me. I almost had his aura just now!” Jiu Chen snapped impatiently, his eyes closed and brows furrowed as he calculated with his fingers.

Xue Yang, seeing him like this, grew even more skeptical, thinking Jiu Chen was simply

guessing.

Just as Xue Yang was about to voice his doubts, Jiu Chen’s eyes suddenly shot open. A joyful expression appeared on his face as he exclaimed, ”I’ve found him! He’s at the bottom of the lake! Three thousand miles away-let’s go!”

Though Xue Yang was beginning to lose trust in the old man, he didn’t hesitate this time. They had no better leads, and he couldn’t find the heavily injured six-step True

Immortal himself.

Hearing the location, Xue Yang was the first to move.

He moved swiftly, traveling a thousand miles in a single flash.

With his second step, he arrived three thousand miles away.

As he emerged, his full set of peak Immortal artifacts erupted with power. Even

without Origin Source, he could wield the treasures with masterful skill.

Both Jiu Chen and Jiang Ni watched in envy.

Among the three of them, Xue Yang was undoubtedly the strongest, able to learn and master any skill at incredible speed.
