Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6477: One Man and One Egg Entering the Eighth Mountain

“Master, don’t worry. As long as the God Eye Clan leaves even a single hair, I can sniff it out!” Hei Qiu said confidently.

Jian Wushuang sighed inwardly, wanting to tell Hei Qiu that the God Eye Clan didn’t have hair!

…

On the surface of the divine mountain, there were numerous powerful auras, including one that belonged to an absolute pinnacle Universe Master.

This was, after all, a universe-level secret realm, so it wasn’t surprising for a Universe Master to appear.

… However, this particular one’s strength wasn’t very high, being only at the level of a Universe Master who had undergone five Tribulations.

Hei Qiu entered the Starry Sky and began to investigate both inside and outside the divine mountain.

At first, it was easy, but soon it became a bit difficult.

“What’s wrong?” Jian Wushuang noticed his strained expression, as if he was under some kind of pressure.

Hei Qiu took a deep breath and said slowly, “Master, it seems this divine mountain… already has an owner!”

“Hmm?” Jian Wushuang frowned.

This was something he hadn’t anticipated. He immediately used his Thought Power to probe the area again. On the surface of the divine mountain, he only detected the presence of the Universe Master who had undergone five Tribulations, and there were no signs of any stronger beings.

Hei Qiu had almost recovered to his peak by now.

Even if that Universe Master had taken control of the divine mountain, it shouldn’t have put so much pressure on Hei Qiu!

“Impossible. There’s only one Universe Master on the divine mountain, and no other strong auras. Moreover, that Universe Master is quite weak…”

Jian Wushuang stopped mid-sentence, suddenly sensing that something was wrong.

There was something off about that five-Tribulation Universe Master.

“It seems there really is something unusual about this place!” Jian Wushuang smirked slightly.

He wasn’t afraid of there being problems—what he feared was there being none.

If this place were as lifeless as still water, it would have been a wasted trip.

The connections between these divine mountains had made Jian Wushuang realize something.

“Hei Qiu, doesn’t this universe-level secret realm resemble a large formation?” Jian Wushuang asked.

Hei Qiu was stunned for a moment, surprised. “How could that be? A universe-level secret realm as a formation? Such a grand scale would require at least a Universe God or a demigod to accomplish!”

“You’re right. It’s very likely that a Universe God was involved.”

“What?” Hei Qiu’s eyes widened in shock.

Jian Wushuang remained calm. He took Hei Qiu and appeared above the ocean surrounding the divine mountain, absorbing the Ancient Star into his body.

A black battle armor also appeared on his body.

Though his physical body was incredibly powerful, it wouldn’t withstand an attack from a Universe God!

A Universe God’s assault had to be faced with divine power.

Even the most powerful physical body would be shattered in an instant.

Although the density of the realm beast’s body was high enough that it wouldn’t be easily destroyed by a Universe God, Jian Wushuang himself couldn’t endure it.

If he solely relied on his physical body and ended up being killed by a single strike, where would he find justice?

To be cautious, he let Gui Yun envelop his body with the magic cloud tree.

“Let’s go take a look!”

With Hei Qiu in tow, Jian Wushuang flew towards the peculiar Universe Master.

The reason that Universe Master seemed strange was that he resembled a cultivator who had undergone the sacrificial ritual.

One man, one beast, flying at lightning speed.

The place where the Universe Master was hiding turned out to be a desolate island.

They were already very close now.

Suddenly, Jian Wushuang’s expression shifted, and he shouted, “Full speed ahead! He’s trying to escape!”

“Yes!” Hei Qiu immediately accelerated, leaving Jian Wushuang behind in an instant.

This was something that always frustrated Jian Wushuang.

His speed was too slow. Even with the help of the magic cloud tree, his flight was still sluggish.

Chasing down a five-Tribulation Universe Master was becoming a hassle.

“Gui Yun, you go after him too!”

“But what about you, Master?” Gui Yun asked with concern.

“I’ll enter the Ancient Star. You don’t need to worry about me!”

Jian Wushuang was still uneasy about leaving Hei Qiu to handle it alone.

The fact that the Universe Master tried to escape before they even met meant there was definitely something wrong.

As long as they caught him, they could figure out what was happening inside the divine mountain.

Jian Wushuang followed from behind, activating the fastest speed of the Ancient Star.

He shot up into the sky.

“You can’t escape!” Hei Qiu, who was in front, warned, “You’d better stop now, or when I catch you, you’ll regret not stopping sooner!”

Jian Wushuang’s True Immortal Presence

Hei Qiu wasn’t threatening the other party. He truly knew how to torment people.

After being tortured for so many years by True God Jiu You, his rage had nowhere to go.

If he caught this Universe Master at the Fifth Tribulation level, he would surely make the other feel despair. He had the ability, the strength, and the patience to do so. After being trapped for so long, it was only natural for his personality to have changed.

Hei Qiu merged with the void, his speed skyrocketing a hundredfold.

The Universe Master at the Fifth Tribulation level, for reasons unknown, used some treasure that allowed him to move as fast as a demi-god. For a moment, Hei Qiu couldn’t catch up to him.

Jian Wushuang, observing everything from behind, reminded him, “Hei Qiu, seal the space and slow him down. I’ll chase him!”

With that, he revealed himself once again. Ignoring the Ancient Star altogether, he directly unleashed the Gui Yun Tree.

Nine thick vines shot out in an instant.

Hei Qiu, without any objections, followed the command and sealed the void. The space, along with everything around it, froze.

For a moment, everything in the surroundings slowed down. Even Hei Qiu’s movements became sluggish. Jian Wushuang felt it too.

But the Gui Yun Tree was different. It was tied to the Starry Sky.

Back when the Starry Sky was first created, it was because this tree had been there. Though it sounded exaggerated, the Gui Yun Tree was the most powerful life form in the Starry Sky, fully deserving of its reputation.

Otherwise, why hadn’t other places been created in a similar manner? Was it because the Realm Kings lacked power?

Obviously not.

There must be some hidden secret within the Gui Yun Tree, something unknown to the world.

Using the Gui Yun Tree, Jian Wushuang bypassed the spatial restrictions and instantly caught the Universe Master at the Fifth Tribulation level.

“Now, you have nowhere to run!” Jian Wushuang sneered coldly.

At that moment, Hei Qiu also caught up, his tone strange as he said, “Little one, you’re finished…”

He wasn’t trying to intimidate the other party.

Jian Wushuang casually tossed the Universe Master at the Fifth Tribulation level into the Ancient Star, then glanced up at the sacred mountain, not noticing anything unusual.

“Let’s head into the Ancient Star. I have a feeling something’s off with the sacred mountain. We’ll leave after we’ve had a look!”

“Don’t worry, Master. With me here, the sacred mountain won’t pose any threat to us!”

But as soon as the words left his mouth, the sacred mountain began to tremble.

“Hm?”

Jian Wushuang’s thought power suddenly detected a terrifying presence. The entity’s thought power was no weaker than his own and was at least at the level of a Universe God.

That being was stirring, as if it was about to break free.

Jian Wushuang’s expression turned grim. He hadn’t even questioned anyone yet, and already he’d stirred up the presence behind the scene.

“He seems to be bound!” Hei Qiu exclaimed in surprise, “Luckily, he can’t get out. That aura feels much stronger than even True God Jiu You.”

…

“Let’s go!”

Jian Wushuang didn’t dare to linger. While his thought power was indeed formidable, reaching the deepest layers of the universe, his strength had yet to reach the level of a Universe God. If the entity within the sacred mountain was truly a Universe God with full power, escaping might prove exceedingly difficult.
