Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6450: The Holy Lord Has Already Fallen

In the end, the powerhouses of the New Realm God Continent were slain one by one.

They became stepping stones for newcomers.

The Void cultivators were truly pitiful.

But this had nothing to do with Jian Wushuang.

“Is Duobao backed by the Void? But why would they help the Holy Lord?” Jian Wushuang was a bit curious.

Or perhaps, they weren’t helping the Holy Lord at all and just wanted to stir up internal strife in the Ancient Domain World, taking the opportunity to devour it?

That wasn’t impossible.

He sent a message to Immortal Jiu Chen, asking about the Void.

From Jiu Chen’s words, Jian Wushuang learned that the Void had appeared before.

Back then, the Lord of Divine Fire encountered quite a few of them.

However, their strength was very weak. To grow stronger, they needed to control a major world, devouring all the cultivators within it, and transferring their accumulated cultivation into a divine body. Using one major world, they could nurture a supreme powerhouse.

Then, two would merge and devour more worlds, until they eventually became Universe Masters.

But that was extremely difficult.

Usually, by the time they devoured their second or even third world, they would be detected by a Universe Master, and from that point, they wouldn’t be able to escape being killed.

After all, for the Void to become a Universe Master, they first needed to devour the Origin Source of the universe.

Although there weren’t many Universe Masters in this universe, the range of their exploration was vast.

In this universe alone, there were likely more than one Universe Master.

Each of them could explore this universe thoroughly.

The Void would barely reveal themselves before being slain.

However, when devouring the first world, due to their inherent weakness, they wouldn’t be detected unless a Universe Master was constantly probing the entire universe.

The chances of that were extremely low.

If it happened, it could only be said that the Void cultivator was incredibly unlucky.

“Void!”

Jian Wushuang was a bit disappointed.

He had thought it might be related to the Divine Eye clan, but it turned out to be the Void, and he instantly lost all interest.

However, he still inquired about the details of Emperor Duobao.

He came from the Void and was its representative.

As for Ling Xiao, he was merely a puppet of Emperor Duobao.

Within his soul was the Void’s mark, and if he ever revealed Duobao’s secrets, his soul would be obliterated.

Even if someone used a soul search, he would still be killed.

Only when facing Void cultivators could he speak the truth.

Whether in illusions or in reality, Jian Wushuang could replicate the aura of a Void cultivator.

At that moment, he tore away the disguise and transformed into the appearance of a Void cultivator.

“Ling Xiao, where has the Holy Lord gone?”

Ling Xiao, in his dazed state, muttered, “The Holy Lord has already perished!”

“What is Emperor Duobao’s next goal? Does he have any connection with the Divine Eye clan?”

“Emperor Duobao ordered me to stir up trouble in the Holy Land and prepare for a decisive battle with the Ancient Court. I never heard him mention the Divine Eye clan, but I know he once found a Divine Eye clan relic in the Chaos Void!”

This explained how Duobao had been able to summon a Divine Eye clan puppet earlier.

After extracting all the valuable information, Jian Wushuang spared Ling Xiao’s life.

It wasn’t because he was soft-hearted, but because killing him would be pointless.

In fact, it would only make Emperor Duobao more suspicious.

Duobao’s goal was to devour the Ancient Domain World, which didn’t have much to do with Jian Wushuang.

However, the treasures on Emperor Duobao’s body were of some use to him.

He had run out of divine blood. If Emperor Duobao still had some left, Jian Wushuang could use it to transform into a Universe God of the Divine Eye clan, allowing him to mass-produce golden-armored puppets.

The lack of top-tier combat strength around him constantly made him feel insecure.

If he encountered a cultivator from the Divine clan, he wouldn’t have the power to suppress them.

Against supreme combat strength, he could rely on numbers to win.

But against those above tier 3, it would be much harder.

They were comparable to Universe Masters, and no matter how many golden-armored puppets he had, they might still be useless.

“It seems I need to place all my bets on Jiang Ni!” Jian Wushuang sighed inwardly.

He hadn’t expected Jiang Ni to be so powerful; it was a pleasant surprise.

But relying on his little niece to fight for him made him feel a bit embarrassed.

At times, he realized he still needed to cultivate his own forces.

For example, Void cultivators.

He was quite interested in this.

If he could cultivate a Universe Master from the Void Clan, then by giving them a microscopic universe to devour, they could directly become a demigod.

After all, each microscopic universe was an ultimate universe body.

The most perfect of universes, almost comparable to the Origin Source of a Universe God.

He possessed the Boundless Body, which could help conceal everything for the other party.

Confuse the Universe Master.

“Void…”

Jian Wushuang’s figure left the courtyard.

He took Xue Yang and Immortal Jiu Chen with him, departing from the Abyss World and heading toward the Ancient Court World.

During the years of silence, the Ancient Domain World had undergone even greater changes.

The Holy Land counterattacked, regaining its original territory.

Now, both sides were once again evenly matched.

The fighting grew fiercer.

At the same time, the news of the Holy Master’s fall had spread.

This ignited a burning fighting spirit in the once-dispirited strongmen of the Ancient Court.

The first battlefield at the border was the shattered Sea-Covering World from several years ago.

This place had become the first battlefield in the Domain War.

Every day, battles erupted.

It was common for Dao Masters to join the fray, and even the Emperor, who had previously been imprisoned, personally oversaw this battlefield.

However, this time, he brought a supreme innate treasure with him.

Single-handedly, he suppressed nine tier 3 Emperors, mercilessly crushing them. If it weren’t for Lord Long holding the line, the entire battlefield would have been breached long ago.

For now, both sides remained somewhat restrained, with Emperors rarely entering the battlefield.

The Dao Masters had become the main combat force.

Every day, teams were formed to engage in brutal skirmishes.

Of course, as battles grew fiercer, more Dao Masters were drawn in, escalating the conflict.

One could say there was a minor battle every three days and a major battle every five days.

At times, more than a thousand Dao Masters would engage in combat simultaneously.

The intensity was unimaginable.

Yet, both sides fought fiercely, each with the confidence of devouring the other.

After all, the three Emperors of the Holy Land could join forces to overpower the Ancient Court, giving them an advantage.

The Ancient Court had no choice but to band together.

Now, both sides were seeking opportunities, looking for ways to turn the tide.

They were also preparing their trump cards.

For instance, the Ancient Court had just recruited an unparalleled Dao Master.

Jiang Ni!

She had been personally recruited by Lord Long into the Ancient Court and was currently cultivating there.

However, it was not for the purpose of achieving Unity.

Rather, it was to comprehend the Dao of Life.

Once she elevated the Origin Source of Life to a perfected Dao Master level, achieving perfection in both ultimate Daos, Jiang Ni’s combat power would soar to the absolute pinnacle.

By then, she could sweep through the entire Holy Land.

If it weren’t for Jian Wushuang’s earlier probing, which made the Ancient Court more cautious, Jiang Ni would likely have already led the Ancient Court in sweeping through the Holy Land by now.

But Jian Wushuang’s trip to the Ancient Court this time wasn’t because of Jiang Ni.

Right now, Jiang Ni’s strength was still insufficient.

She still needed more tempering.

It wouldn’t be too late to reunite with her once he left the Ancient Domain World.

His current target was the Emperor Duobao.

According to Lingxiao Boy, Emperor Duobao had already returned to the Ancient Court.

Jian Wushuang planned to lie in wait in the Ancient Court, awaiting the right moment.

He wasn’t planning to strike directly but intended to wait for Emperor Duobao to make a move on the Ancient Domain World.

At that time, Jian Wushuang would seize the opportunity to suppress a fully-fledged Void cultivator.
