Chapter 1009: The Great Han Divine Weapon Ranking: Part 2

"Three hundred years ago, a peerless demon lord appeared in the Great Han Jianghu, known as the second Martial Emperor Ying Shuntian, named Yun Yang Dingtian."

"Wielding the world's number one evil blade, the Great Evil King, his blade techniques were earth-shattering, and he vowed to slaughter all disciples of the Buddhist sects and defy the Great Dao of the Heavens."

"At this critical moment, Wu Wuer stepped forward, complying with the will of Heaven and upholding the righteous path of the Jianghu, to challenge Yun Yang Dingtian."

"That battle shocked the world and became known as the Demon-Extermination War."

"The two fought for ten days and ten nights without a victor, the Heavenly Mandate Blade and the Great Evil King clashing with equal ferocity."

"At the final moment, Wu Wuer created an peerless move on the spot, fusing the changes of both sides' techniques from the past ten days and nights, capable of summoning heavenly thunder—the Wrath of the Vaulting Heaven!"

"This move was less a creation of Wu Wuer, and more a gift from the Heavenly Dao."

"Because the actions of the peerless demon Yun Yang Dingtian were deeply disrespectful to the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao sought to destroy him through Wu Wuer's hands."

"This divine move gifted by the Heavenly Dao was indeed peerless in power, directly severing Yun Yang Dingtian's arms and causing the Great Evil King to fall from his grasp."

"However, after unleashing this move, Wu Wuer suffered a backlash of fortune, exhausting his vital energy and passing away, while the Heavenly Mandate Blade fell into the sea and vanished."

"Although Yun Yang Dingtian's arms were severed, he still had a breath left; just as he was gloating, he saw thunder rolling and the Heavenly Wrath unappeased, as if it intended to strike directly!"

"To avoid being defeated by the will of Heaven, Yun Yang Dingtian committed suicide with the Great Evil King, but left behind two earth-shattering curses before he died."

"One of these curses was that the Wu family would never again produce a martial arts prodigy."

"Because of this, the Wu family, once renowned for their martial arts, produced no more prodigies and gradually faded from the Jianghu's knowledge."

"And because of this clash with the Great Evil King, the Heavenly Mandate Blade acquired a special ability: the power to imprint and connect to the legendary Nine Void Boundless Realm."

"As I mentioned before, the nature of the Nine Void Boundless Realm is similar to the Sword Realm, but its rules are even higher, encompassing all extreme martial arts in the world."

"For instance, the 'Sword Twenty-Three' created by the first-generation Sword Saint Huangfu Jian three hundred years ago is collected within the Nine Void Boundless Realm."

"Due to the Heavenly Mandate Blade's special ability, anyone who holds it can view the earth-shattering martial arts within the Nine Void Boundless Realm."

"Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, it is tentatively ranked fifth on the Great Han Divine Weapon Ranking."

As Su Chen's voice fell, the hall erupted into chaos.

The Heavenly Mandate Blade!

This blade was also not very famous, but that 'Demon-Extermination War' had shocked the entire world.

Not only the Great Han Jianghu, but people from other Jianghu regions were also very familiar with this Demon-Extermination War.

After all, the peerless demon lord Yun Yang Dingtian from three hundred years ago had a demonic might almost on par with the Martial Emperor Ying Shuntian from five hundred years ago.

At the time, some even thought that the Martial Emperor Ying Shuntian had been resurrected.

And as the other protagonist of the Demon-Extermination War, Wu Wuer was also world-renowned at the time.

Almost everyone thought that Wu Wuer had perished together with Yun Yang Dingtian in the end.

Yet no one expected the true reality to be like this.

The peerless demon lord Yun Yang Dingtian did not die at Wu Wuer's hands, but at the hands of the Heavenly Dao!

Because Yun Yang Dingtian's actions were completely against the heavens, the Heavenly Dao was determined to kill him.

After the two fought for ten days and nights, the Heavenly Dao first gifted Wu Wuer the peerless divine skill 'Wrath of the Vaulting Heaven'.

Seeing that he failed to execute Yun Yang Dingtian, it even intended to intervene personally.

In the end, Yun Yang Dingtian committed suicide.

What surprised everyone even more was that the Wu family, where Wu Wuer belonged, was the last of the nine great clans of the Great Han Jianghu.

It was only because of the curse Yun Yang Dingtian left before dying that the Wu family struggled to produce martial arts prodigies, hence they remained silent and unknown to the world.

The catastrophe from three hundred years ago was brought up again, leaving everyone filled with emotion.

At the same time, what surprised everyone was that the Heavenly Mandate Blade held by Wu Wuer back then was such a peerless divine weapon.

It was just that it encountered an even stronger divine weapon, the world's number one evil blade, the Great Evil King!

Clearly, the Great Evil King had a special connection with the Nine Void Boundless Realm.

After clashing with the Great Evil King, the Heavenly Mandate Blade also acquired this strange ability, capable of connecting to one of the nine forbidden zones of life, the Nine Void Boundless Realm.

This ability could be called earth-shattering.

The Nine Void Boundless Realm was a higher-level existence than the Sword Realm, and the martial arts collected within were even more earth-shattering.

And the holder of the Heavenly Mandate Blade could view all the earth-shattering martial arts in the Nine Void Boundless Realm through it; this was an opportunity countless times greater than being in the Sword Realm.

Who in the world could not be moved by this?

For a time, everyone in the hall began to discuss it:

"I never imagined the last great clan was the Wu family; Wu Wuer from three hundred years ago was indeed incredibly powerful."

"That's right! Wu Wuer was an expert who could fight the great demon Yun Yang Dingtian for ten days and nights; he must have been at least a Mid-stage Martial Saint."

"Yun Yang Dingtian, even mentioning this name now makes me feel a chill; this person was definitely the most terrifying figure after the Martial Emperor Ying Shuntian."

"Indeed, who in the Great Han Jianghu could forget that Demon-Extermination War three hundred years ago? If not for Wu Wuer stepping forward, who knows what kind of catastrophe would have been caused."

"I never imagined that the demon-lord Yun Yang Dingtian, with his overwhelming demonic might, was ultimately executed by the Heavenly Dao; truly, evil deeds bring their own destruction."

"Mr. Su said Yun Yang Dingtian left two poisonous curses before dying, one of which was that the Wu family could not produce martial arts prodigies; I wonder what the other one is?"

"I never expected such hidden details in the Demon-Extermination War; it wasn't just a decisive battle between Yun Yang Dingtian and Wu Wuer, but also a peak duel between the Great Evil King and the Heavenly Mandate Blade."

"No wonder the Qin Emperor Sword, a divine weapon that can open the Sword Realm, could only rank sixth; the Heavenly Mandate Blade can connect to the Nine Void Boundless Realm!"

"This Nine Void Boundless Realm contains earth-shattering ultimate arts like 'Sword Twenty-Three'; if someone could obtain the Heavenly Mandate Blade, wouldn't they be invincible in the world?"

"Invincible in the world? Brother, don't forget, the Heavenly Mandate Blade is only the fifth-ranked divine weapon; there are still four stronger divine weapons ahead of it."

"I truly find it hard to imagine what divine weapons could have power even more terrifying than the Heavenly Mandate Blade."

West District, 8th Private Room

Guan Yutian said in a deep voice: "I never imagined Yun Yang Dingtian from three hundred years ago died like this; is the will of Heaven truly impossible to defy?"

As a descendant of the Demon Sword clan and the Martial Emperor Ying Shuntian, hearing how Yun Yang Dingtian died, he couldn't help but feel worried.

After all, the Martial Emperor Ying Shuntian back then was even more lawless than Yun Yang Dingtian.

This even made him wonder if the death of Ying Shuntian back then was also secretly pushed by the Heavenly Dao?

"What a Heavenly Mandate Blade, no wonder it could rank ahead of the Qin Emperor Sword; it can actually connect to the Nine Void Boundless Realm."

Ren Qianxing said with burning eyes, clearly extremely interested in the Heavenly Mandate Blade.

Hearing this, Guan Yutian snorted coldly and said flatly: "It's just a mere Heavenly Mandate Blade; it doesn't count as a true peerless divine weapon. You deserve a better one."

Ren Qianxing was stunned and asked: "What is a better divine weapon?"

Guan Yutian revealed a meaningful smile and said slowly: "Do you know why we are called the Demon Sword clan?"

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen sipped his tea and said unhurriedly:

"Next, let's comment on the next divine weapon on the list."

"Fourth place on the Divine Weapon Ranking, the Great Evil King!"

"The power of this divine weapon is even above the Heavenly Mandate Blade; it can be called the world's number one evil blade!"

"More than three hundred years ago, a Buddhist-Daoist expert with a fearsome reputation appeared in the Great Han Jianghu, namely the Blood Ancestor Wu Hui."

"This person came from a Buddhist sect, but because his master did not pass his mantle to him before passing away, he killed his fellow disciples in a fit of rage and was thus abandoned by the Buddhist sects of the world."

"When he was at his wit's end, he accidentally entered the Nine Void Boundless Realm, obtained supreme fortune, and his cultivation soared."

"Half a year later, Wu Hui reappeared in the world and brought out an evil, ferocious blade capable of swallowing the heavens and covering the earth—the 【King of Tribulation】."

"Relying on the earth-shattering martial arts he comprehended in the Nine Void Boundless Realm, Wu Hui wielded the King of Tribulation to slaughter across the Jianghu, killing tens of thousands of experts and destroying hundreds of Buddhist temples; his fearsome reputation spread throughout the world, and people called him the Blood Ancestor."

"At that time, no one in the Jianghu was a match for this Blood Ancestor Wu Hui; at the most critical moment, a hidden expert stepped forward, and that was Yun Yang Dingtian."

"At that time, Yun Yang Dingtian was still a righteous man, with the thought of saving the common people of the world in his heart, determined to fight for the righteous path, for the Buddha, and for Heaven."

"So he took his own peerless divine weapon 【Anger Repelling Evil】 to challenge the Blood Ancestor Wu Hui, and ultimately achieved a tragic victory, even obtaining Wu Hui's evil, ferocious blade 【King of Tribulation】."

"Although this battle was earth-shattering, few people knew about it; Yun Yang Dingtian was indifferent to fame and fortune and did not wish to spread it to the world."

"But when Yun Yang Dingtian returned home, he discovered that his family of thirty-six had died one after another from a plague within two days of his victory over the Blood Ancestor Wu Hui."

"Yun Yang Dingtian, who fought for Heaven, for the Buddha, and for the righteous path, believed that the Heavenly Dao was mocking him."

"In extreme grief and indignation, Yun Yang Dingtian crossed his arms and clashed the 【Anger Repelling Evil】 and 【King of Tribulation】 in his hands."

"Upon the clash of the two blades, Anger Repelling Evil was shattered on the spot by the King of Tribulation, and even embedded itself into the King of Tribulation."

"From then on, there was no more Anger Repelling Evil, nor King of Tribulation, only the Great Evil King, which fused the power of both blades!"

"This is the origin of the world's number one evil weapon, the Great Evil King."
