Building an Eternal Dynasty: The Eternal Legacy System

A Sword That Shook the World

The dazzling sword light surged into the heavens.

It was neither blinding nor violent.

Instead...

It carried a terrifying simplicity.

One sword.

One strike.

Nothing more.

Yet within that single slash lay a power capable of severing heaven and earth themselves.

The Sword Intent roared upward, piercing through layers of clouds before disappearing into the endless sky.

Far away...

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

Adrian Valerius sat alone, rubbing his temples with a troubled expression.

”Sigh...”

”What am I supposed to do now?”

”Not only did I give the Salvatore Family entrance quotas...”

”I even gave them an extra one.”

”When those old geezers from the Celestial Fate Pavilion find out...”

”They’re going to skin me alive...”

He let out another helpless sigh.

Just then...

A terrifying fluctuation swept across Aurelia City.

Adrian instinctively raised his head.

His Eyes of Heavenly Geomancy activated on their own.

The next second...

His mouth slowly fell open.

His eyes widened until they resembled pigeon eggs.

”What the hell...”

”Patriarch Victor...”

”Are you trying to shave Heaven bald?!”

His voice trembled with disbelief.

He had never imagined that a single sword strike could produce such a terrifying phenomenon.

At that same moment...

Every cultivator within Aurelia City sensed it.

Every martial artist.

Every ordinary citizen.

Even children playing in the streets stopped what they were doing and instinctively looked toward the Salvatore Family.

The entire city fell silent.

Expressions froze across countless faces.

It was as though everyone had witnessed a miracle.

”A Sword Emperor...”

”A Great Sword Emperor...”

”The Salvatore Family actually has an unrivaled Sword Emperor!”

”My heavens...”

”What happened?!”

”Why...”

”Why has the sky split open?!”

Countless voices echoed throughout Aurelia City.

Panic.

Shock.

Disbelief.

Every emotion mixed together.

Meanwhile...

Inside the Salvatore Family estate...

Every disciple stared at Victor with absolute worship.

Not one of them could find words.

Their mouths had gone dry.

Their breathing became shallow.

The man standing before them no longer resembled an ordinary Patriarch.

To them...

He had become a legend walking among mortals.

A figure who stood above common understanding.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone throughout Aurelia City...

Victor’s heaven-shattering Sword Intent erupted completely.

The sword light shot straight through the clouds.

Then—

The sky split apart.

A deafening rumble echoed across the heavens.

The entire firmament separated into two halves as though an invisible hand had sliced it open.

Dark spatial cracks stretched for countless kilometers across the sky.

Black lightning crackled within those fractures while space itself desperately struggled to heal.

The sight resembled the end of the world.

High above...

The brown-robed elder stared blankly at the approaching sword light.

Every trace of confidence had disappeared.

Only despair remained.

His body trembled uncontrollably.

He desperately circulated every ounce of his True Spiritual Power.

He tried to flee.

He tried to resist.

Yet...

He couldn’t move.

Not even a single step.

The overwhelming Sword Intent had completely locked onto him.

It was as though heaven and earth themselves had declared his death.

Slowly...

He lowered his head.

His eyes settled upon Victor standing peacefully within the Salvatore Family estate.

A bitter smile appeared across his face.

”So...”

”Are you really...”

”...only at the Heavenly Genesis Realm?”

His voice sounded hollow.

He finally understood.

The cultivation realm before him meant absolutely nothing.

This young Patriarch had already stepped onto a path that ordinary cultivators could never comprehend.

His eyes gradually dimmed.

Then...

He laughed bitterly.

”The Crimson Abyss Sect...”

”...is doomed.”

The next instant—

The terrifying sword light completely engulfed him.

The black spatial cracks swallowed everything.

His body vanished instantly.

Not even ashes remained.

No blood.

No bones.

No spiritual remnant.

Everything belonging to him disappeared from existence.

It was as though he had never lived at all.

Silence returned.

Even Victor looked slightly surprised.

He hadn’t expected the Heavenbreaker Eternal Sword Canon to possess such overwhelming power.

He had merely intended to eliminate the hidden observer.

Instead...

The attack had torn apart the sky itself.

Even a Heavenly Genesis Realm expert failed to leave behind the slightest trace before being completely erased.

High above the Salvatore Family...

The enormous spatial crack slowly began healing.

The shattered sky gradually returned to normal.

Yet...

The lingering resonance of Victor’s sword refused to disappear.

Instead...

The remaining Sword Intent transformed into countless tiny streams of light.

Like gentle rain...

They drifted down upon the Salvatore Family estate.

Each strand carried a fragment of pure Sword Intent.

Some landed upon ancient trees.

Others settled upon rooftops.

Many descended toward the younger disciples.

The moment those streams touched them...

Several disciples suddenly closed their eyes.

Their expressions became tranquil.

Within the depths of their hearts...

Something quietly took root.

A seed.

Invisible.

Silent.

Waiting patiently for the day it would finally bloom.

Just then, the familiar voice of the Eternal Legacy System echoed once more inside Victor’s mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Heavenbreaker Eternal Sword Canon has spread Sword Intent throughout the world!]

[Salvatore Family disciples have comprehended Sword Intent!]

[Family Fortune +100!]

Victor smiled faintly.

Immediately afterward...

Another notification appeared.

[Ding! Ten members of Salvatore Family have planted Sword Dao Seeds within their hearts by mysterious power and they all may now will comprehend Sword Intent in the future!]

[Family Fortune +1000!]

The smile on Victor’s face deepened slightly.

Before he could examine the changes...

Another familiar system notification quietly rang inside his mind.

[Ding!...]
