Chapter 27

Darkness receded like a tide, and light began to appear in the world.

The sun, moon, and stars began to turn again, and all things of heaven and earth revived from the stagnant darkness.

This sword, as if breaking some kind of shackle, caused subtle changes to occur upon the Ancestral Land Blue Star.

The divine breath severed by the Candle Dragon quietly began to recover at this moment.

Sword Immortal Gu Yuan, holding a piece of dragon bone, stepped onto the void step by step; darkness, as if fearing him, began to flee wildly.

He came before the female immortal who had lost her eyes, tore a strip of cloth from his waist, and bound her bleeding eye sockets.

"My master said, although you have lost your eyes, your heart is like a clear mirror; in the future you will see even more clearly than when your eyes were whole."

"Return to the Milky Way Grand Formation; here we have everything, and Master is waiting for you."

Gu Yuan spoke softly; the female immortal nodded slightly, holding a lotus lamp, her eyes covered by a white cloth, and drifted down toward the heavenly realm ruins.

Countless people of Blue Star gazed at this scene, silent for a long time.

That sword, which tore through endless darkness, brought them an indescribable shock.

It was as if, in ancient myth, Pangu the Great God split chaos with a single axe!

Even the aura of this Sword Immortal underwent a heaven‑shaking, earth‑transforming change! "One sword opens the heavens—how cool is that!"

"Wielding the sword to ascend to heaven, all kinds of unseen evils retreat before him—what a mighty presence!"

"We cultivators ought to have such bearing!"

"It's a pity that He Xianzi's eyes are gone."

「Burning lamps to extend daylight, she did this for humanity, for the immortals, igniting hope in despair; the ancestor said, her heart is like a clear mirror, perhaps there is also another opportunity! 」

Countless people of the Great Xia continually sighed, and as the darkness's mad retreat, the massive Great Obscurity Giant Dragon, emanating a terrifying aura, reappeared before everyone's eyes.

His voice trembled, like a great bell and a grand lute.

The ferocious dragon head probed out of the void, staring at the dozens of Xia elites, firmly locking onto Gu Yuan who swung this sword.

「This sword actually has thirty percent of the ability of the Horned Wood Flood Dragon. 」

「But, that's all there is to it. 」

「Your sword can break my divine ability, but it cannot cut me at all. 」

「Not to mention you; even if the Horned Wood Flood Dragon were revived, seeing me would still have to call me Great Obscurity Demon Lord! 」

「If this generation's human immortals have only this much ability……」

「Then today is your day of death! 」

「Hand over my father, and I can let you leave with graves! 」

In the eyes of the Great Obscurity Dragon God, a chilling killing intent flickered.

In the dissipating darkness behind them, countless extremely powerful demons appeared before everyone! The remaining eight offspring of the Candle Dragon lay coiled in the boundless starry sky.

Each aura was not beneath the Great Obscurity.

Numerous ancient Western deities, holding scepters and ancient divine weapons, their aura astonishing! 'To make a sword from the Candle Dragon's bone—what great gall!'

「Do you think relying on your cultivation, you can truly tame the divine power within this demon god's dragon bone? 」

「If it weren't for your master removing your killing aura, you probably couldn't even hold this dragon bone steady. 」

「That strike of mine didn't kill you; I merely held back. 」

「Come, come, let us fight again; I'll let you strike first with three swords! 」

That was a goat-headed deity, its horns atop the head covered in strange runes.

Its eyes glowed with an eerie crimson, staring fixedly at Gu Yuan, sneering repeatedly.

Everyone fell silent; in these thirty years, Lu Chen had introduced them to countless powerful demons.

Among them was this one, originating from Western antiquity, attaining godhood even before those so-called Western gods.

His divine ability is extremely strange; on the ancient battlefield of the myriad gods, many Xia immortals died at his hands! Now, his contemptuous provocation, this confidence, stems from his terrifyingly formidable strength.

Gu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, the bone sword in his hand also trembling faintly.

He had always been arrogant; facing such provocation, even if the opponent was an ancient evil god, he dared to show killing intent! But at this moment, Lü Xuanzhen stepped ahead of him, drawing the ancient sword.

「If he alone cannot cut you, what about adding us? 」

His voice was like cold frost; only hearing a 'zheng' sound, several sword immortals simultaneously drew their swords with angry eyes.

Tens of thousands of terrifying sword lights shot up into the sky, straight toward the goat-headed demon god! If one sword immortal cannot slay the demon, then we shall rely on the power of all immortals!

「My Sword Dao, Sword Immortal Pure Yang! 」

「My Sword Dao, Heavenly Venerable Subdues Demons! 」 「My Sword Dao, Heavenly Venerable Supreme Ultimate! 」

「My Sword Dao……」

Gu Yuan watched this scene, his heart's hot blood burning, he spoke in a deep voice.

「Fellow senior brothers, our Sword Dao is not alone! 」

「My Sword Dao inherits Heaven, Host Star Lord, yet guided by my master's pointers. 」

「This sword……」

「Will not rest until myriad deaths! 」

As the words fell, he narrowed his eyes, gripped the bone sword tightly, and actually stirred up a heaven‑shaking sword wave, sweeping the goat‑headed demon! Above the void, sword sounds rang out; even the demon god Great Obscurity was shaken by these waves of aura.

The immortals of this generation of Great Xia seem to possess extraordinary talent; given time, they would truly be restored to the heavenly court by Lu Chen!

After all, the sword intent that makes him feel a hint of fear is not many.

「No wonder it is an existence chosen by the myriad gods; it not only imprisoned my father, but in just thirty years it has taught forth several peerless sword immortals! 」

「But you have ultimately miscalculated; we who have survived from the ancient cataclysm to this day—how could these few Taiyi immortals be able to block us! 」

Its voice paused slightly, then suddenly turned icy.

「Everyone, the moment has arrived; slaughter the immortals, return to the ancestral land! 」

As Taiyou's words fell, hundreds of extremely fierce auras shattered the void.

Nearly 100,000 demons that have survived from ancient times surge toward the galaxy's frontier pass!

Ten thousand years have passed without anyone coming here, yet on this celestial realm only a few dozen Taiyi immortals remain—such insignificant ants, they can be slaughtered with a mere gesture!

Hehehe, a bunch of juniors with less than a hundred years of cultivation, having learned the immortal arts of the ancient divine court yet lacking the abilities of the ancient gods, dare to dream of defending this place?

Ridiculous!

That person chosen by the gods to undergo tribulations is likely at the end of his rope, otherwise he wouldn't think of using these beings to block me; I see the human race's fortune has come to an end!

Demon gods of extreme power manifested one after another, their expressions cold and arrogant.

On Blue Star, countless Xia people witnessed the scene, and even their breaths were filled with icy chill.

These great demons and fiends are almost all legendary beings!

They are all beings who have fought and slain the ancient gods!

Now, manifesting outside the celestial realm, it is utterly despair-inducing! Boom—The celestial grand formation was easily torn apart by the demons!

Those several dozen peerless geniuses, trapped in a heavy encirclement, fought desperately.

Beneath the celestial Great Wall, the chained Candragon saw this scene and burst into mad laughter.

Hahaha, Lu Chen, Lu Chen!

You lost, you lost!

The celestial grand formation is already broken; your few disciples and descendants cannot escape calamity!

Thirty years—this thirty years of humiliation, I will repay you a millionfold!

The Candragon's resentful, toxic gaze locked firmly on the distant man in blue robes.

Over these thirty years, he had his bones dug out and drank blood—utterly miserable to the extreme.

Now, he is about to break free, and he will surely take his revenge in a venomously millionfold manner! He doesn't believe that, having come this far, Lu Chen still has any trump cards; he doesn't believe that in just thirty years, Lu Chen could have any chance of victory; these 100,000 immortal cultivators and these several dozen Taiyi true immortals are already the limit of what humanity can achieve.

But that's all there is.

The celestial grand formation is already broken; those several dozen Taiyi true immortals are in imminent danger.

Lu Chen...... has run out of options! He gazes at the distant man with his hands behind his back, already fantasizing about how to step on that sullen face.

Press his head down, forcing him to kowtow and beg for mercy before all of humanity.

He wants to see whether, when the time comes, this sole remaining human supreme deity can still maintain that composure! The Candragon strains the chains, a ferocious and twisted smile spreading across its dragon head.

Just then, Lu Chen slowly lifted his gaze, looking at that Candragon.

Are you sure I lost?

Lu Chen's voice was very soft, yet for some reason it gave him a chilling feeling.

It seems this life-and-death game has just begun! Sorry, everyone, I've been busy today—my elder relative had a big birthday celebration, so I just returned from the countryside; today there will only be two chapters.

Starting tomorrow, I'll release extra chapters! If you dear readers enjoy it, please leave a comment and give a rating—thanks a million!
