Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6459: True God Jiu You

Xiang Yang gritted his teeth, forcing himself to endure with sheer willpower, but in the end, he still fell short.

Thud!

He collapsed onto the ground, completely prostrate.

“Sigh!” Jian Wushuang sighed. “Does it matter who you kneel to? Back then, you even knelt before mortals. One more dead person won’t make a difference!”

“A mortal is just a mortal. Now, I’ve returned to the path of cultivation!” Xiang Yang, still kneeling, stubbornly retorted.

Hearing this, Jian Wushuang could only shake his head helplessly. With a wave of his hand, he commanded in a stern voice, “No kneeling allowed!”

The moment his voice rang out, the overwhelming pressure on Xiang Yang and Immortal Jiu Chen instantly dissipated, allowing them to stand up.

Immortal Jiu Chen, astonished, exclaimed, “What happened? That oppressive force… it’s gone?”

“Jian Wushuang, how did you do that?”

He was shocked. Although Jian Wushuang had always had hidden cards, carried an air of mystery, and wielded great strength with near-supreme combat power, even Universe Masters couldn’t defy the will of the Universe God.

Yet Jian Wushuang not only bore the pressure with ease but also calmly lifted the burden from them.

“The will of a dead man can’t suppress the living. It’s as simple as that,” Jian Wushuang said, his hands clasped behind his back.

Xiang Yang, still frustrated, muttered, “Easy for you to say! If I were a Universe God, I’d say the same thing!”

“Unfortunately, you’re not,” Jian Wushuang replied, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Immortal Jiu Chen’s eyes were wide with disbelief. “Could it be that you really are a Universe God?”

Earlier, Xiang Yang had hinted at it, but at that time, Immortal Jiu Chen didn’t believe that Jian Wushuang was a Universe God, nor did he think Xiang Yang possessed even the combat power of a demigod.

He had assumed they were both exaggerating.

But now, he was starting to believe it.

He could accept that Jian Wushuang might have once been a Universe God. However, Xiang Yang definitely wasn’t a demigod.

No demigod would behave as shamelessly as Xiang Yang did.

“Alright, let’s just watch from the sidelines!”

Jian Wushuang said calmly, “I want to see what this guy is trying to achieve by making everyone kneel.”

At that moment, the shadowy figure in the black mist turned to Jian Wushuang and roared angrily, “How dare a mere mortal not kneel before a god like me!”

“Daring to look me in the eye—you deserve death!”

With those words, the shadowy figure’s eyes shot out a beam of light, aimed directly at Jian Wushuang.

Bang!

Before the light even reached Jian Wushuang, it exploded instantly.

“A willpower attack? Ridiculous!” Jian Wushuang sneered. “You, a mere three-star Universe God, dare to use willpower against me? You’re courting death!”

The other party’s willpower was at about the level of a three-star.

Which meant his divine power might only be at the peak of a two-star.

If his overall combat strength reached three-star, it would already be impressive.

This kind of Universe God, back when Jian Wushuang was on the Realm God Continent, he could kill a whole bunch of them with just a glance.

And now, this being was asking him to kneel? It might have been understandable if the opponent had peak strength, but they were all dead men walking anyway. What was the point of pretending?

Since Jian Wushuang had transformed from a Universe God into a mortal, he had adapted to local customs. He never put on airs, knowing that it wouldn’t change anything.

He understood that he could only regain his power by training again and reaching the peak once more.

Pretending here, making such a big scene without doing anything substantial—it was pointless.

Out there, he would have fallen a hundred times by now.

The shadowy figure sensed something unusual about Jian Wushuang’s willpower, especially since Jian Wushuang had accurately identified him as a three-star Universe God. Panic flashed across his face.

“You—you’re also a Universe God?”

“Impossible! There are no more Universe Gods in the Sea of Universes. You can’t be one!”

Jian Wushuang sneered. “Whether I’m a Universe God or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that you aren’t one!”

“No, what truly matters is that you don’t have the strength of a Universe God.”

“Arrogant! Even if I lack peak power, I’m not someone a clown like you can provoke!” The shadowy figure shouted furiously. “I am the Jiu You Celestial God. When I ruled over ten thousand universes, dominating the heavens, you weren’t even born!”

He didn’t recognize Jian Wushuang, assuming he was just a newcomer. But Jian Wushuang had no trace of Origin Source in his power.

Relief washed over the shadowy figure.

When Jian Wushuang heard the name, his brow twitched, and he said, “Jiu You? Never heard of it. Guess you were pretty weak back then.”

He was deliberately goading him, trying to get him to reveal more about the mysteries beyond the heavens.

But Jiu You barked, “I am one of the nine celestial gods under the True Martial Emperor! You dare claim you’ve never heard of me? How dare you boast before me!”

“If it weren’t for this girl’s presence, I wouldn’t even bother dealing with you!”

With that, he turned his gaze to Jiang Ni.

She was the real reason he had emerged.

A powerful figure who had fused the three ultimate paths into one.

No!

She hadn’t fully merged them yet, but it wouldn’t be long.

“Little girl, congratulations. You are about to become my tenth worry!”

Jiu You pointed a finger, and a streak of black light shot out, heading straight for Jiang Ni.

The three Immortal Kings kneeling on the ground were shocked.

They had thought Jiang Ni had triggered some kind of legacy, and with such a presence, it would be her opportunity. They never expected it to be a killing blow.

The willpower contained within the black light assaulted everyone’s consciousness.

Though Jiang Ni had incredible talent, she couldn’t withstand the willpower of a Universe God.

Her aura shifted, and a trace of blackness appeared in her eyes.

Jian Wushuang was alarmed.

His willpower instantly left his body, bursting out with a thunderous roar.

Clouds gathered in the sky, and Jian Wushuang’s willpower avatar descended.

“You’re asking for death!”

He hadn’t intended to manifest, but seeing Jiu You use Jiang Ni’s three ultimate paths to resurrect some body sealed in a carving was unacceptable.

It didn’t matter who he was trying to release, but attacking Jiang Ni was something Jian Wushuang couldn’t tolerate.

“A mere three-star Universe God, and you dare call yourself a true god in front of me!!!”

Jian Wushuang’s willpower descended into the mental realm.

His enormous avatar appeared instantly.

On the ancient star.

Jiu You’ willpower avatar was as large as the ancient star itself.

But when Jian Wushuang descended, the number of universes floating around his avatar was uncountable. When his massive gaze swept over the beings below, it triggered a mental storm with a single blink.

“What?”

Jiu You was utterly terrified.

“You—you’re also a Universe God!”

He couldn’t believe it. Especially since Jian Wushuang’s avatar resembled an ancient demon.

This was Jian Wushuang’s true form.

The most noble life form—”Realm Beast.”

A king born of chaos.

With a single word, he could create a universe of his own.

The massive Realm Beast avatar grabbed the previously arrogant Jiu You Celestial God.

The other party’s willpower was no threat to Jian Wushuang at all.

With a single punch, he shattered Jiu You’ avatar.

“No!” Jiu You Celestial God cried out in desperation. “I haven’t reached the Tenth Worry yet! I cannot fall!”

Hearing his desperate cries, Jian Wushuang remained unmoved.

“Perish!”

With that single thought, all of Jiu You Celestial God’s remaining willpower in the underground cavern was completely annihilated.
