Chapter 1547: Leaving the Sword in the Human Realm

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Across the sky was the ancient Summer Immortal.

He had reached the peak of the Profound Earth and walked his own Dao. To the Profound Earth, he was like a hero. He had once led the cultivators of the Profound Earth to pioneer w.a.n.ggu.

He suppressed the w.a.n.ggu’s Brilliant Heaven G.o.d Race, raised the Heavenly Daos in w.a.n.ggu, and led countless cultivators of the Profound Earth to the peak of their lives.

In order to protect the Profound Earth, push the immortal path further, and open up a higher level in the cultivation system, he and his companions had no choice but to venture into this unfamiliar starry sky.

They wanted to seek comprehension and opportunities.

This trip lasted for tens of thousands of years.

Now, one of them had returned.

And under the sky was a newly-promoted Summer Immortal!

He was weaker than the former but he also had walked his own path. To the human race, he was also a hero!

After the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether left, he killed the G.o.ds and suppressed the other races, fighting for the human race and guarding the peace of the human race.

He had dedicated his entire life to the human race.

In his heart, the Profound Earth wasn’t important, nor were the myriad races. Only the human race mattered; it was his sole priority!

At that moment, the gazes of the new and old Summer Immortals met across the sky…

The sky seemed to collapse.

The sky rumbled, first with a ripple resembling fish scales. These ripples quickly turned into patches, and then, amidst deafening noise, all the patches shattered.

It affected the entire sky.

It was as if enormous mandala flowers were blooming in the sky.

Accompanying the blooming was an ancient and cold voice that rang out from beyond the sky and echoed in w.a.n.ggu.

The sea of w.a.n.ggu churned. The hearts of the w.a.n.ggu’s races trembled.

The G.o.ds below the True G.o.d realms were shaking.

Even the rarely-seen True G.o.ds… at this instant, Their divine intents rumbled in their respective resting places.

This was because… the pressure that accompanied the voice surpa.s.sed the peak of the Summer Immortal. It was as though there was only a trace of fog between him and the Immortal Lord realm above the Summer Immortal, which was at the same level as the Lord G.o.d realm.

“It’s not impossible for you to revive.”

The instant these words were spoken, Xu Qing’s breathing became hurried. The Empress suddenly raised her head and looked at the sky. Her heart, which had been on the verge of collapsing, fluctuated at this moment.

“Submit to me, and once I obtain what I need from w.a.n.ggu, I will clear the fog before me and fully grasp the Immortal Lord’s position. Then, I will help you truly resurrect.”

The voice rang out again in the sky.

All living beings fell silent.

The Sword Holding Great Emperor spoke softly.

“I grew up listening to the stories of the nine of you seniors. I have a deep impression of your names. Your legends are the source of light in my heart.

I respect you guys. Even now, I still respect you.”

“Lord Ji Zun.”

As he spoke, the Sword Holding Great Emperor bowed. Upon straightening, his eyes gleamed sharply, and in that instant, his voice carried a piercing intensity. “But are you… really Lord Ji Zun’s main body?”

“I absolutely refuse to believe that among the nine esteemed predecessors who emerged from the Profound Earth, suppressed the Brilliant Heaven G.o.d Race, and pioneered w.a.n.ggu, there would be anyone who would fall to such a level. They would never, for their own selfish gain, raise the butcher’s knife against their descendants.”

“I don’t believe you.”

The Sword Holding Great Emperor’s voice was resolute.

The black-robed old man standing on the tall tower in the heaven-level holy land was expressionless as he looked down at w.a.n.ggu. His gaze landed on the Sword Holding Great Emperor, calmly speaking.

“Seeing that it wasn’t easy for you to reach this stage, this old man will say a few more words to you.”

“For w.a.n.ggu and Profound Earth, me gaining the position of the Immortal Lord will be a breakthrough for the cultivation system.”

“This matter has extraordinary meaning. All the sacrifices in the process are for a beautiful future.”

“So, young one, your heart, your thoughts, your aspirations—do not let them be so narrow-minded.”

“Great Dao is indifferent; if you wish to keep moving forward, then you must keep your eyes on the path ahead.”

His voice was like thunder, echoing in w.a.n.ggu.

All living beings heard it.

Some people agreed with this logic, and some didn’t. However, through this, the myriad races finally made a judgment about the sudden arrival of the holy lands.

What the other party needed had to be carried out through suppression and war. One could imagine that what he needed… might not be material items.

It was life, blood sacrifice, death… Anything was possible.

However, the only thing they could be sure of was that this matter had nothing to do with the G.o.ds.

Moreover, the other party couldn’t be in w.a.n.ggu for too long.

The existence of the fragmented-face was far from something he could go against.

Hence… the descent of the holy lands this time, combined with the actions of the yellow and black levels, further confirmed this judgment.

The Sword Holding Great Emperor shook his head. He retracted his gaze from the sky and looked in the direction of the human race, speaking softly.

“My heart is narrow because it encompa.s.ses only the human race.”

He raised his hand and pointed the Emperor’s Sword to the sky, causing the sky to tremble.

“My thoughts are simple because they concern only the human race.”

Wind and clouds surged as a violent wind blew over, forming a storm. It transformed into a vortex with the Sword Holding Great Emperor as the center that covered the surroundings and rapidly spread.

The commotion was huge.

“My aspirations are naive because they are focused solely on the human race.”

The Sword Holding Great Emperor’s eyes revealed a deep glint that was filled with determination. He gripped the Emperor Sword tightly.

The aura on his body was erupting.

The weather became violent and the rumbling sound of m.u.f.fled thunder echoed throughout w.a.n.ggu.

“The Great Dao is indifferent but there are emotions in the world.”

“On the path of constant progress, one must not only gaze forward… but also appreciate the scenery along the way and cherish the companions by one’s side.”

“If this path requires walking over the corpses of one’s own race and drinking the blood of one’s own people… then I refuse to tread it!”

The instant the Sword Holding Great Emperor said the last six words, his eyes erupted with intense light. He suddenly raised his head and locked onto the sky.

The aura on his body soared violently at this moment.

The power transformed from the lives of all the Great Emperors and enemies he had absorbed continued to burn and erupt. Even though the aura of death on his body had reached its limit, this rising and burning continued.

In an instant, the range of the vortex around the Sword Holding Great Emperor soared and filled many regions. His figure also became extremely large at this moment, like a giant.

The Emperor Sword that had grown larger in his hand was lifted slightly.

A majestic voice rang out.

“My life’s sword techniques were created through insights gained at different ages and stages.”

“There are a total of five swords.”

“Earth Depository, s.p.a.ce Split, Heavenly Palace, Starlight…”

“As for this final sword, it was realized during the battle to protect Xia’er, in the midst of my life’s extinguishment. I thought I would never have the chance to display it.”

“Today, this sword will appear for the first time in w.a.n.ggu.”

“This sword is named… Human Realm!”

The Sword Holding Great Emperor muttered. Old memories vaguely surfaced in his mind.

In his memory, he saw a prosperous world.

There were no wars or G.o.ds. Under the lead of the ancient sovereign, countless races walked to the peak.

That was the prosperous human realm before the fragmented-face arrived.

The Sword Holding Great Emperor sighed softly. He then raised his right hand and swung the sword toward the sky.

A Human Realm Sword, imbued with the essence of mortal life and vibrant flames, soared into the sky.

After that, in the eyes of the Sword Holding Great Emperor, the darkest period after the fragmented-face descended and the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether left appeared.

Corpses were everywhere, and mournful wails could be heard everywhere.

The dim sky and the despairing human race.

That was… the human realm in despair.

The Sword Holding Great Emperor swung the sword bitterly. A Human Realm Sword that contained the despair of all living beings headed straight for the sky!

Next was the human realm in hardship after the defeat of the Human Emperor Eastern Triumph.

It was the struggling human realm during the Holy Heaven Era.

It was the human realm recovering under the rule of the Mirror Cloud.

It was the unyielding human realm when the Dao World was in power.

It was the chaotic human realm when the Mystic War ruled for over 10,000 years.

The human realm at every stage in the memories of the Sword Holding Great Emperor became a sword that shone in the sky.

In the end, what appeared in the eyes of the Sword Holding Great Emperor was Empress Parting Summer’s figure.

It was the human realm that had risen after she ascended the throne!

The Sword Holding Great Emperor smiled.

“This is the human realm I protect.”

His body began to blur and the aura of death enveloped everything. When it drowned him completely, the sword formed by the rising human realm rose up in a breathtaking manner.

In the sky, all the swords transformed from the human history experienced by the Sword Holding Great Emperor suddenly overlapped and gathered into the true Human Realm Sword.

With the last of his strength, the Sword Holding Great Emperor slashed at the sky, beyond the heaven, and… the holy land!

This sword tore through the sky and destroyed everything, causing the entire world to rumble.

It was peerlessly stunning and could be said to be the only resplendent light in the present world.

If the ancient immortals were the will of the heavens, then this sword strike was the will of humans, fighting against the heavens!

In an instant, it rushed out of w.a.n.ggu and collided with the four earth-level holy lands blocking the way.

The voices outside the w.a.n.ggu seemed to be swallowed by nothingness, but the scene reflected in the eyes of all living beings became an absolute sound that was enough to shake their entire life’s memories.

The four earth-level holy lands… shook violently. Their descent was directly interrupted and they were sent back forcefully, unable to withstand a single blow!

A hint of regret appeared in the ancient immortal’s eyes.

“This sword is extraordinary. If you weren’t in your current state but a true Summer Immortal, this sword strike could make me wary.”

“But now…”

The ancient immortal shook his head and raised his right hand, gently pressing down on the sword.

He was going to destroy it.

However, at the next instant, his eyes suddenly narrowed. He actually missed.

Because…

The target of this strike wasn’t him!

Instead, it was the seal in the sky of w.a.n.ggu that restricted all living beings from entering and exiting!

The sword light flickered and landed on the seal. With the intents of the Human Realm and the Sword Holding Great Emperor, it fused into the seal and one end locked onto the fragmented-face Desolate.

If the sword light was agitated, this fragmented-face would be the first to bear the brunt and would definitely open Its eyes.

As for what would happen after It opened Its eyes, everything was unknown.

However, it was definitely an uncontrollable variable.

The expression of the ancient immortal instantly darkened.

He could tell that the integration of this Human Realm Sword was specially set up for him. Others wouldn’t be able to detonate it when they came into contact with it, but if he got close, it would explode.

His gaze was deep as he looked at the Sword Holding Great Emperor through the seal.

“What a good junior. You originally had a chance of truly reviving, but you gave it up to slow down my descent. Forget it, your sword intent can only last for thirty years… I’ll give it to you. I’ll wait for your sword intent to dissipate.”

The ancient immortal slowly spoke. His body then blurred and he left together with the heaven-level holy land and the four earth-level holy lands that had finally stabilized themselves.
