Chapter 4271: The Former Qingyun Sword Emperor, Devouring Sword Body

In the hands of the Qingyun Sword Emperor, the Sword of Proving the Dao erupted with brilliant, dazzling divine light.

As sword Qi permeated the air, countless phantoms of sentient beings seemed to emerge from the sword.

It was as if the Great Thousand Worlds and the dust of all living beings were manifesting upon this single blade.

This was the manifestation of the Human Sword Ancestor's sword Dao profundities.

"You still dare to resist stubbornly? Do you truly believe you can stand against all of us alone?"

An old man with a white beard shouted coldly.

"That's right! Even with the Sword of Proving the Dao, you cannot oppose all of us!"

The surrounding crowd of experts all launched their attacks.

A terrifying aura erupted in this place; the firmament shattered, and the universe trembled.

The vast sword light illuminated the starry sky.

The surging sword Qi fluctuations swept across a radius of one hundred thousand li.

Amidst this collision,

even though the Qingyun Sword Emperor held the Human Sword Ancestor's Sword of Proving the Dao,

he was struggling to hold his ground, his wounds splitting open as he was bathed in blood.

However, he still resisted, letting out a long roar and swinging the Sword of Proving the Dao to unleash terrifying, boundless sword Qi.

It covered the sky and earth, slicing through the void and causing the universe to lose its color.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Blood mist sprayed in this place, and severed limbs flew everywhere.

"Damn it!"

Some sword Dao experts cursed inwardly, not expecting the Qingyun Sword Emperor to be so difficult to deal with.

And just at this moment,

the heavens and earth suddenly trembled, and a boundless, terrifying aura descended.

The crowd of experts felt their breathing hitch, their expressions changing.

The Qingyun Sword Emperor also suddenly felt a chill deep in his bones,

as if he were prey being stared at by a wild beast.

He looked coldly toward the distant cosmic void.

Several blurred figures emerged, majestic and boundless, covered in boundless sword Qi.

They radiated an extreme pressure.

"The Sword Clan!"

Seeing these figures, the Qingyun Sword Emperor's eyes turned scarlet.

He would never forget the humiliation the Sword Clan had brought upon him.

And these blurred figures that had emerged were indeed top-tier experts of the Sword Clan.

"Qingyun, you have walked the path of evil, killing my Sword Clan's sword cultivators and practicing the Devouring Sword Body."

"If the Human Sword Ancestor's Sword of Proving the Dao falls into your hands, it will only threaten the sword cultivators of the Vast Expanse."

"If you surrender the Sword of Proving the Dao and abolish your Devouring Sword Body, perhaps you may be spared."

The top-tier expert of the Sword Clan spoke in a cold, indifferent tone.

"Heh... in your dreams!"

The Qingyun Sword Emperor looked coldly at the Sword Clan expert.

He knew that today, he would likely be unable to escape with his life.

The Sword Clan experts said no more and swung their swords in unison.

The sword light blotted out the sun, dimming the endless galaxy as it covered him.

"If you want the Sword of Proving the Dao, come and take it! You will have to pay the price!"

The Qingyun Sword Emperor suddenly gripped the Sword of Proving the Dao in reverse,

and then stabbed it into his own chest, piercing his heart!

Blood sprayed everywhere.

Seeing this, the few top-tier Sword Clan experts' expressions changed slightly.

"Not good! Is he trying to..."

The Qingyun Sword Emperor's mouth curled into a chilling, sinister sneer.

"Devouring Sword Body, Ten Thousand Swords Devour the Heavens!"

The next moment, the Qingyun Sword Emperor's physical body exploded.

Countless pitch-black sword Qi erupted from within his body, dense and numerous, piercing through the heavens and earth.

It was as if the entire universe was caught in this forbidden move, completely destroyed!

Everything returned to darkness and chaos!

Deep within the Protector Sword Emperor's mansion, inside an ancient sword cultivation hall,

a young man in a green shirt sat cross-legged in the center of a cultivation formation.

Countless sword Qi circled his body like a school of fish.

At a certain moment, the young man in the green shirt suddenly opened his eyes.

A cold glint flashed through his deep pupils.

"Sure enough, even after being reborn,"

"those memories have already been carved into the deepest part of my soul, difficult to erase."

The young man in the green shirt muttered to himself.

He was Mo Qingyun, the third son of the Sword Dynasty's Protector Sword Emperor, Mo Su!

Of course, only he himself knew his true origin—

he was the former Qingyun Sword Emperor.

In the beginning, Qingyun had been an ordinary rogue cultivator.

He was extremely passionate about the sword Dao, and his greatest dream was to join the Sword Clan, the holy land for all sword cultivators in the Vast Expanse.

Because of this, he practiced and cultivated with extreme diligence.

However, Qingyun's sword Dao talent was merely average—not terrible, but certainly not exceptional.

Later, after experiencing hardships that ordinary people could not imagine,

he believed he had the qualifications to join the Sword Clan.

Thus, he went there, hoping to join.

However, he suffered unprecedented blows and humiliation.

He was mocked by some of the Sword Clan's elders and disciples, who believed he had no qualifications to join.

That was the most humiliating memory for Qingyun,

and it nearly shattered his Dao heart.

But later, Qingyun accidentally obtained the inheritance of a former demonic sword cultivator: the Devouring Sword Body.

The so-called Devouring Sword Body, while a constitution,

was not an innate one,

but rather one cultivated through acquired techniques.

The Devouring Sword Body was bizarre and extremely powerful; it treated the body as a sword, devouring all swords in the world.

For every sword devoured and refined, one's cultivation base and realm could improve.

The stronger the divine sword devoured, the greater the increase in strength.

Of course, it wasn't just divine swords;

various sword Daos, sword intents, and so on could also be devoured and refined by the Devouring Sword Body.

To some extent, it was somewhat similar to the Wedding Dress Demonic Art controlled by Jun Jun Xiaoyao.

However, the Devouring Sword Body focused only on sword-related entities.

After obtaining the cultivation method for the Devouring Sword Body,

Qingyun reorganized his efforts and practiced even harder.

And because of the blow and humiliation he suffered from the Sword Clan, his state of mind became twisted.

He began to kill other sword cultivators to assist in his cultivation of the Devouring Sword Body.

Later, by a stroke of fate,

Qingyun discovered and obtained the Human Sword Ancestor's Sword of Proving the Dao.

The Sword of Proving the Dao, as the name suggests, was the sword held by the Human Sword Ancestor when he proved his Dao and became an Emperor.

The Human Sword Ancestor had more than one sword in his life,

but this sword, being his Sword of Proving the Dao, was of extraordinary significance.

It could be said that if Qingyun devoured and refined the Sword of Proving the Dao,

his Devouring Sword Body would instantly grow to a terrifying level.

After all, it was the Sword Ancestor's Sword of Proving the Dao; how could it be ordinary?

However, Qingyun had underestimated the power of the Sword of Proving the Dao.

With the Devouring Sword Body he possessed at the time, he was unable to refine the Sword of Proving the Dao.

Not only could he not refine it, but he also suffered a backlash, causing anomalies to appear and his aura to leak.

That was how he was detected by the outside world.

He was then discovered, besieged, and hunted down by various sword cultivators, including the Sword Clan.

In the end, he had no choice but to unleash the forbidden move of the Devouring Sword Body and perish.

But who could have imagined

that perhaps because of the characteristics of the Devouring Sword Body,

or perhaps because of the power of the Sword of Proving the Dao,

Qingyun had not completely perished.

Ten thousand years ago, his spiritual consciousness began to awaken in the midst of the boundless darkness.

When he completely recovered his memories,

he discovered that he had become Mo Qingyun, the third son of the Sword Dynasty's Protector Sword Emperor, Mo Su.

And that Sword of Proving the Dao was actually lying dormant in the deepest part of his dantian.

He knew he had been given a second chance!
