Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6356: Fragments of Memory

Jiu Chen, who was guarding outside the hall, suddenly felt his spiritual body beginning to contract. He looked towards the hall in horror and exclaimed, ”Whatʼs happening? Why is the aura inside the hall fading away?”

At that moment, even the blood-colored altar started to collapse and contract.

Jiu Chenʼs avatar, still plotting outside, had not yet noticed.

However, the internal contraction had reached its limit.

Even the wisp of Jiu Chenʼs true self inside began to disintegrate due to the contraction of the Divine Fire Hall.

Fortunately, it was just a trace of spiritual consciousness, so it wouldnʼt be completely extinguished.

”Impossible! What did he do?” Jiu Chenʼs true self was utterly shocked.

Even though Jian Wushuang had previously displayed his immortality, it shouldnʼt have caused such a reaction in the Divine Fire Hall.

How could he have known what Jian Wushuang had discovered inside the Divine Fire Hall?

Luckily, due to the declining power of the Divine Fire, Jiu Chen could once again enter the hall and take control.

Swish!

He rushed into the Divine Fire Hall, only to see Jian Wushuang standing unharmed in his original position. Jiu Chen furiously shouted, ”What did you do? Why has the power of the Divine Fire declined? The energy is collapsing!”

Jiu Chenʼs true self was seething with rage. He had given up his freedom to guard this place, and now Jian Wushuang had caused such chaos. How could he not be furious?

”In this world, there is no eternal existence, only eternal power!” Jian Wushuang slowly turned around, his eyes filled with pity.

How could a mere Zhen Xian know much?

How could he possibly understand the laws of this world?

The Divine Fire Hall had begun to contract and collapse. While Jian Wushuang hadnʼt expected this outcome, it wasnʼt entirely surprising.

It was because he had taken the body of the Realm Beast.

This body was undoubtedly the most precious thing in the entire Temple of Inheritance.

He was only curious as to why the body of the Realm Beast had ended up here, and even more so about its purpose, which the Universe Master who created this place clearly knew.

For someone to understand the mysterious uses of the Realm Beastʼs body and place it here, their identity had to be extraordinary.

A Universe Master in the Ninth Tribulation realm would never have had the opportunity to encounter a Realm Beast.

Of course, that was unless he excluded himself.

But Jian Wushuang didnʼt think that the other person could compare to him.

Back then, it was only because of the Realm King Divine Realm that he learned about the Realm Beastʼs immense power, but even then, he hadnʼt obtained its body!

Perhaps, by accepting the inheritance here, he would finally understand everything.

Once the Divine Fire Hall had stabilized, Jian Wushuang completely ignored Jiu Chenʼs true self and prepared to enter the second lamp.

But Jiu Chenʼs true self could no longer stand by. He shouted angrily, ”If you donʼt explain yourself today, donʼt even think about accepting the inheritance!”

As he spoke, he activated all the restrictions he could control, trying to block Jian Wushuang.

For someone who could forcibly merge with the Realm Beastʼs body and escape the Divine Fire Hall, Jian Wushuang certainly wouldnʼt care about a mere Zhen Xian.

He hadnʼt destroyed Jiu Chen out of respect for the creator of this place.

After all, he had gained something valuable and saw no need to wreak havoc. However, when it came to what he deserved, he wouldnʼt hesitate.

”Stop!”

Suspended in mid-air, Jian Wushuang pointed with a single finger. Using only the power of his physical body, he instantly shattered the restrictions in this space, simultaneously binding the controller of this space tightly within the rules of destruction.

Jian Wushuang knew that if Immortal Jiu Chen dared to move recklessly again, he would be instantly annihilated by the laws of destruction.

Though he held a certain respect for this place, it didnʼt mean he would allow himself to be controlled by others.

He wouldnʼt go to extremes, but he would see things through to the end.

After subduing Immortal Jiu Chenʼs true body, Jian Wushuang ventured into the second lamp, the second trial.

Trapped within the laws of destruction, Immortal Jiu Chenʼs true body looked around in terror at the destructive forces surrounding him, unable to move. His heart was filled with dread. When he saw Jian Wushuang entering the second lamp, he was momentarily stunned.

”Heʼs only just reached the second trial?”

He had thought that the great commotion caused by the Godfire Temple was because Jian Wushuang had violated the restrictions within the secret arts of the inheritance. But to his surprise, it was due to the destruction of various restrictions within the Godfire Temple across the three lamps.

”So, everything that just happened was because of the first lamp?”

He turned his gaze to the mural depicting the Heavenly Palace, focusing on the lamp within

the image.

”Itʼs gone dark!”

”The lamp has gone dark...”

Immortal Jiu Chenʼs heart was initially filled with astonishment, but suddenly, a powerful consciousness surged into his mind.

However, due to the surrounding laws of destruction, this consciousness was cautious, not daring to be reckless.

But Immortal Jiu Chenʼs consciousness was already weak, and as soon as the powerful consciousness invaded, he fell into a deep sleep.

In its place was a new consciousness, one that was gradually weakening, connected to the

laws of time.

The controlled Immortal Jiu Chen raised his head to gaze at the mural of the Heavenly Palace, unable to calm his heart.

”How many years has it been... Iʼve finally waited for you!” Within Jiu Chenʼs eyes, a starry nebula could be seen. Above the nebula, an elderly man sat cross-legged, and in a flash, the image of the Realm God Continent appeared.

...

The second lamp.

This was the place where souls resided.

There were nine in total.

This time, instead of trying them one by one, Jian Wushuang went directly to the ninth golden

soul. A crack appeared between his eyebrows, and a powerful force of attraction drew the

golden soul directly into his sea of consciousness.

”Hmm!!”

A strong force of interference pushed him back a step.

It appeared to be a soul, but it felt more like a cluster of memories.

Sealed memories, from...

”Iʼve seen this place before!” Jian Wushuangʼs eyes became vacant as he saw a scene of the

heavens and earth collapsing within his mind.

”This is a battlefield!”

But this place didnʼt belong to any part of the Starry Sky.

He had seen it before in Morosaʼs consciousness as well.

This was the Void Land.

In an instant, time and space felt far, far away from him.

Yet the mighty warriors on the battlefield seemed very close.

He saw a mysterious warrior wearing a mask.

The mask looked familiar, but he couldnʼt recall the name.

The masked warrior, with his hands behind his back, fought against three opponents alone.

His adversaries were not Universe Beasts, but three figures emanating an indescribably

powerful aura.

The aura was stronger than anything Jian Wushuang had ever encountered, even stronger than

the Star Spirits.

It was so overwhelming that he could barely breathe.

Even with his Universe Beast physique, the pressure made his heart race.

It was as if he had encountered a natural enemy.

This power was immense, enough to shake the heavens and the earth.

Yet the mysterious masked warrior could hold off all three, battling them to a standstill.

Their fight caused the chaotic streams on the battlefield to flow in reverse.

The battle moved from the battlefield to a towering divine mountain, where the aura was so intense that Jian Wushuang shuddered, as if he had been there before.

He looked up at the top of the divine mountain, but clouds obscured his view. Returning his gaze to the battle, he saw that the fight had grown more intense. The mysterious masked warrior seemed to be desperately holding them off, while the three overwhelmingly powerful warriors were trying to destroy the divine mountain.

The masked warrior was overwhelmed, unable to stop them.

In the end, he sacrificed himself to take down two of them.

But one top-tier warrior remained, and he began to attack the divine mountain.

At that moment, another warrior appeared.

This time, Jian Wushuang saw the face clearly.

His eyes widened in shock.

It was him.
