One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

[Yet, in the sky outside the city, there was a figure clad in white as pure as snow, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, possessing an otherworldly bearing.]

[He stood upon a long sword, with dozens more flying swords swirling around him in protective formation. Even from such a great distance, one could already feel his wind-like sword energy.]

[”S-S-S-S-S-S-Sword Lord?!”]

[You truly never expected that the one who would come to save you at this final moment would actually be the Sword Lord!]

[Last time you saw news related to him, he was still on Opera Star.]

[But that was also many years ago. With the advanced Star Harbor and Channel networks of the Celestial River local galaxy, interstellar travel wasn’t a difficult matter for high-grade cultivators.]

[The Sword Lord’s earth-shattering sword strike from midair just now had, in the simplest and most brutal way, knocked the guillotine that was about to fall on you off course.]

[So now, your head was still attached to your neck.]

[The Sword Lord charged into the city. It seemed he was preparing to raid the execution grounds.]

[But the six thousand garrison troops on site were all elites personally hand-picked by Jin Hai. Not a single one of them was someone to be trifled with.][The Sword Lord was blocked by them outside the execution grounds.]

[Facing the swarm of enemies closing in, the Sword Lord fixed them all with his icy gaze, then raised both hands.]

[”Sword Lord: Rise and Fall!”]

[In an instant, every weapon held by every cultivator on the field flew over to hover near the Sword Lord’s body, like the rings of a planet!]

[Even when the enemies tried to draw new weapons from their storage pouches, Pot Heaven spaces, and elsewhere, those too uncontrollably flew to the Sword Lord’s hands.]

[For the garrison troops at the execution grounds, this was bad news.]

[As mentioned before, they weren’t ordinary soldiers. They were officers and local powerhouses personally selected by Jin Hai.]

[The artifacts and spiritual treasures they used were nothing to scoff at.]

[Now they were all controlled by the Sword Lord, turning around to attack them!]

[The garrison was thrown into complete chaos, getting beaten by their own weapons.]

[If they didn’t fight seriously, they’d get hurt.]

[But if they did fight seriously, they couldn’t bear to destroy their precious gear.]

[”Who the hell is this guy?! What gives him the right to control all our weapons?!”]

[”This isn’t a divine art. This must be a law!”]

[”Bullshit! He’s clearly at the Transcendent Realm. Where would he get a law?!”]

[”Maybe he’s hiding his true cultivation level?”]

[Using your divine art to probe, you could confirm that the Sword Lord was indeed at the Transcendent Realm.]

[Now, if you used your Human Body Detector to scan the Sword Lord again, you’d notice that some of the descriptions differed from what they were when scanned in the human world.]

[The highest aptitude in the human world was Heaven-Grade Bone Structure.]

[But that didn’t mean all Heaven-Grade Bone Structures were only equivalent to fifth-grade immortal roots in the Real Realm. It was possible they had scored full marks on that scale, but their actual score was even higher.]

[Looking at the Sword Lord now, he clearly possessed a first-grade immortal root and a Super-Self Sacred Physique!]

[This so-called Super-Self Sacred Physique granted the Sword Lord a unique enlightenment—he could comprehend things ahead of his time!]

[Cultivators in the human world couldn’t comprehend divine abilities. He could.]

[Those at the Ground Fiend realm couldn’t comprehend Heavenly Fiend Divine Abilities. He could.]

[Those at the Transcendent realm couldn’t comprehend laws. He could.]

[So now, even though the Sword Lord was at the Transcendent Realm, he had already grasped laws just like an Immortal Lord!]

[Law power could only be countered by law power.]

[So the Sword Lord could control whoever’s weapons he wanted, unless the opponent had a law that could neutralize his.]

[”Why did someone like this have to show up?”]

[Jin Hai sat high above in the clouds, observing the chaotic battle at the execution grounds below without any intention of making a move.]

[Because the big fish he wanted to lure out hadn’t appeared yet.]

[Jin Hai pointed a finger at you from across the void, attempting to trigger the interpersonal connections on your body, checking through those threads to see if Ji Wuqing had arrived.]

[To Jin Hai’s astonishment, the interpersonal threads didn’t emerge from your body at all.]

[”How...” ]

[Jin Hai calmed his mind and activated his divine art to investigate the cause.]

[”Someone has layered a law on this kid. It seems the big fish has already arrived. Heh... This king would like to see just how long you all can hold out before making your move.”]

[Jin Hai waved his hand grandly, and from every single garrison soldier on the execution grounds, several interpersonal threads flew out, pointing toward the respective weapons that the Sword Lord had taken control of.]

[With these threads providing a tether, although the Sword Lord’s ”Rise and Fall” hadn’t failed, the enemies could forcibly pull their own belongings back.]

[The Sword Lord could certainly pull them back again, but he couldn’t win a tug-of-war against six thousand people.]

[”Quickly, kill this nobody! And some of you, get that guillotine back up! Continue the execution!”]

[The Sword Lord stood alone, with his ninety-nine flying swords, in a great battle against the garrison troops at the execution grounds.]

[Sword energy swept in all directions. Sword light pierced through the sky vault.]

[The shockwaves of the battle destroyed the surrounding buildings, causing the ground to sink and crack open.]

[The enemies were still too powerful. The Sword Lord was forced to retreat step by step, moving further away from the execution grounds.]

[Meanwhile, the guillotine once again hovered above your head.]

[The executioner controlling the blade let out a cold sneer.]

[”Chen Yi, disappointed, aren’t you? Only one person came to save you. I admit that sword-swinging fellow has some skill, but what can one man do alone? Time to hit the road!”]

[You glanced at the executioner, about to mock him, when suddenly your eyes went wide.]

[”Look behind you.”]

[The executioner scoffed.]

[”Think I’m a three-year-old? Ha! Not looking.”]

[”Then don’t look. I just wanted you to die with a clear conscience, that’s all.”]

[”Oh, you don’t want me to look? Well, now I’m going to look! Hey, I’m looking!”]

[The guy whipped his head around in a flash, took a quick peek behind him, then turned his head back, afraid you might pull some trick.]

[But just that brief, fleeting glance was enough to make his face, upon turning back, drain of all color in sheer terror.]

[”I...” ]

[Before he could finish his sentence, a giant golden hand descended from the sky and smeared him into a pile of mush.]

[In midair, a colossal golden body statue stood tall. Her face was filled with compassion and mercy, her palm smashing enemy after enemy into pulp.]

[You gazed upon the stunningly beautiful face of the golden body statue.]

[If it wasn’t Li Lingyue, then who could it be?]

[A telepathic message spell flew over.]

[”Chen Martial God, it’s me, Li Lingyue. Besides me and the Sword Lord, there’s another old friend of yours here.”]

[Another one?]

[Who?]

[For Li Lingyue to say that, could it be someone from the human world?]

[Just then, beneath Haosong City, the ground trembled violently, and countless fissures spread throughout the entire city.]

[A figure burst out from the earth right beside you.]

[”Sun and Moon Illumine the Heavens!!”]

[A blazing sun appeared in the sky, radiating boundless brilliance, its heat waves rolling.]

[Beside this sun, there was also a bright moon, its moonlight flowing like water, yet brimming with murderous intent.]

[Sun and moon circled above the entire city, their combined power of sunlight and moonlight pouring down upon the garrison troops at the execution grounds. It made them feel alternating hot and cold, their vision flickering between bright and dark, their bodies feeling weightless then heavy, leaving them completely dizzy and disoriented.]

[”HAH!!”]

[The newcomer slammed a fist into the guillotine, directly shattering this legendary spiritual treasure into pieces.]

[You focused your gaze. This man, tall and burly, with rippling muscles, a face chiseled like it was carved from stone, sharp and angular, with fierce and powerful eyes and an utterly domineering aura...]

[”Ah Dou?!”]

[Ah Dou smiled.]

[”Chen Yi, I’m over a hundred years old now. Stop calling me by my childhood name. Did you forget the name you gave me?”]

[”Chen Yixun!”]
