Chapter 617: Divine Weapon Ranking 3rd Place: Ling Shuang Sword, Will the Demon Emperor Ying Ying Shuntian be Resurrected?

As Su Chen’s voice fell, there was another uproar in the hall.

Everyone wore a dumbfounded expression.

No one had expected that the origin of the Great Evil King, the world’s number one evil weapon, would be like this.

Previously, when Su Chen commented on the 5th divine weapon, the Heavenly Fate Blade, he had mentioned the Demon Extermination Battle three hundred years ago.

The great villain of that battle was the peerless demon lord Yun Yang Dingtian.

Everyone in the hall had spat on him, thinking he was a heinous great demon lord.

Yet, never did they expect that everything would be reversed in an instant.

The Jianghu heroes who had just been spitting on and slandering Yun Yang Dingtian now felt their faces burning.

Yun Yang Dingtian was not a born great demon lord!

It could even be said that he was once one of the most righteous people in the world.

Think of the Blood Ancestor Wu Hui who emerged more than three hundred years ago; he didn't know how many bloody storms he had stirred up in the Jianghu.

Especially for the Buddhist sect, Wu Hui was like a demon from hell.

The Buddhist temples destroyed by Wu Hui at that time numbered at least eight hundred, and the number of Buddhist disciples who died was countless.

Those so-called righteous experts in the Jianghu would all panic and flee upon hearing the two words ‘Wu Hui’.

Only Yun Yang Dingtian stood up!

As a hidden expert, Yun Yang Dingtian had no need to get involved in this muddy water.

But for the sake of the justice in his heart, for the Buddhist sect, and for the Heavenly Dao, Yun Yang Dingtian still stood up and risked his life to block the Blood Ancestor Wu Hui.

Even after killing Wu Hui, Yun Yang Dingtian did not publicize it, not seeking fame or fortune at all.

Yet such a Yun Yang Dingtian, who fought for heaven, for Buddha, and for the righteous path, ended up with his entire family destroyed.

This was truly heaven’s will playing with people.

Even the Jianghu heroes who hated Yun Yang Dingtian to the extreme had to admit at this moment that if they were in Yun Yang Dingtian’s position, they would likely go mad and become lawless too!

And the Great Evil King, the world’s number one evil blade, was born in the extreme anger of Yun Yang Dingtian.

It was fused from the divine weapons of Yun Yang Dingtian and Wu Hui.

From then on, there was no more Yun Yang Dingtian, who was righteous and loyal, only the peerless demon lord Yun Yang Dingtian.

For a time, everyone in the hall looked toward the White Jade Platform, wanting to hear what happened next.

……

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen quietly took a sip of clear tea and said in a gentle tone:

“Yun Yang Dingtian’s martial arts talent was extremely astonishing. After entering the demonic path, he combined his terrifying demonic heart with his extraordinary martial arts cultivation to create a shocking and peerless evil technique, *Evil King’s Ten Calamities*!”

“If the Great Evil King is the world’s number one evil blade, then this *Evil King’s Ten Calamities* is the world’s number one evil blade technique.”

“This technique was born because of the Great Evil King and was also injected into the blade of the Great Evil King, from then on fusing with the Great Evil King.”

“In other words, whoever obtains the Great Evil King will also obtain the peerless evil technique *Evil King’s Ten Calamities* within the blade.”

“Later came the decisive battle between Wu Wu Wuer and Yun Yang Dingtian. At the most critical moment, the Heavenly Dao manifested and forced Yun Yang Dingtian to his death.”

“Before dying, Yun Yang Dingtian used his final lingering thoughts to leave behind two poisonous curses.”

“One was that the descendants of the Wu family would never produce a martial arts genius, and the other was to destroy all Buddhist teachings in the world.”

“These two poisonous curses, along with Yun Yang Dingtian’s hatred for heaven, were all fused into the Great Evil King, adding three parts of evil nature to the Great Evil King.”

“Because of this layer of poisonous curses, the Great Evil King was finally sealed by high Buddhist monks in a specially made iron box and placed inside a Buddha statue, guarded day and night by three thousand monks.”

“But even so, the poisonous curse left by Yun Yang Dingtian was still taking effect; the Wu family became silent, and the Great Han Buddhist sect also declined because of this.”

“Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, it is tentatively ranked 4th on the Great Han Divine Weapon Ranking.”

As Su Chen’s voice fell, everyone in the hall couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Hearing this Demon Extermination Battle again, everyone’s mood was completely different.

They really wanted to ask the Heavenly Dao what Yun Yang Dingtian did wrong to be targeted like this?

At the same time, Yun Yang Dingtian’s other poisonous curse was finally revealed.

It was indeed related to the Buddhist sect, and it was the most vicious one: to destroy all Buddhist sects in the world.

This also solved a doubt in everyone’s hearts.

That was why the Great Han Jianghu was so strong, yet Buddhist experts were rare on the Martial Emperor Ranking and the Half-Saint Ranking.

It seemed that Yun Yang Dingtian’s poisonous curse was taking effect.

Thinking this, everyone felt three parts more fear toward the Great Evil King.

This blade was definitely one of the most evil divine weapons in the world; although its power was astonishing, it was not something that could be easily subdued.

And a group of evil experts widened their eyes.

For them, this Great Evil King was undoubtedly a top-tier divine weapon in the world.

Especially since the Great Evil King also contained a world-class evil blade technique, *Evil King’s Ten Calamities*.

Whoever could obtain it would soar to the sky.

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

“What a Yun Yang Dingtian! I apologize for slandering him before; his entry into the demonic path was indeed excusable.”

“That’s right. Although this Yun Yang Dingtian did all kinds of evil, if you put yourself in his shoes, anyone in his position would go mad.”

“Yun Yang Dingtian fought for heaven, for Buddha, and for the righteous path. Why did the Heavenly Dao treat him like this? Isn’t this ‘no good deed goes unpunished’?”

“This is truly heaven being blind. Such a righteous person as Yun Yang Dingtian was forced to his death with his entire family destroyed, and forced into the demonic path.”

“This Great Evil King is so terrifying. Even sealed by high Buddhist monks, it still has such effects. No wonder the Buddhist sect in the Great Han Jianghu is not flourishing.”

“Such a terrifying divine weapon only ranks 4th on the Great Han Divine Weapon Ranking? How terrifying must the top three divine weapons be?”

“The Great Han Jianghu is truly where the spiritual energy of the Nine Provinces gathers; even the Divine Weapon Ranking is so shocking. I’m so looking forward to the three divine weapons that follow.”

……

The third private room in the East District.

The Palace Master of the Search God Palace rarely showed a moved expression and murmured:

“What a Great Evil King! It actually has the power to defy heaven. I wonder which Buddhist temple it is hidden in?”

“Forget it. There are only a few decent Buddhist temples in the Great Han Jianghu. If I search them one by one, I’ll eventually find it.”

He had developed the intention to seize the Great Evil King.

If he could obtain this world’s number one evil blade and the *Evil King’s Ten Calamities* inside, it would also be a great improvement to his strength.

Thinking this, the Palace Master of the Search God Palace looked toward the White Jade Platform again.

There were still three divine weapons left on the Great Han Divine Weapon Ranking; he wanted to see what these three divine weapons had to be able to suppress the Great Evil King.

……

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen gently shook his folding fan and, without deliberately dragging it out, said directly:

“Next, I will comment on the next divine weapon on the list.”

“Divine Weapon Ranking 3rd place: Righteous and Evil Ling Shuang Sword.”

“Regarding this divine weapon, the Ling Shuang Sword, I believe all you fellow Jianghu travelers have heard of it.”

“Rather than calling it a divine weapon, it is better to call it a magic weapon—the most terrifying magic weapon in the Great Han Jianghu.”

“Its creator was none other than the Demon Emperor Ying Ying Shuntian, who was renowned for his fierce power five hundred years ago.”

“Back then, Ying Ying Shuntian was most famous for his sword path, and the Ling Shuang Sword he wielded was hailed as the strongest sword of his time.”

“But in the final Righteous and Evil Battle, Ying Ying Shuntian and the Chess Saint Sword Ancestor both died in battle, and the Ling Shuang Sword was also broken.”

“Since then, Ying Ying Shuntian’s followers and descendants have been seeking to restore the Ling Shuang Sword generation after generation, hence they are also known as the Demon Sword Remnants.”

“But people in the Jianghu only know that this Ling Shuang Sword was Ying Ying Shuntian’s sword and its power was peerless, but they don’t know that the Ling Shuang Sword has another function.”

“Back then, before Ying Ying Shuntian died, he left behind a poisonous curse: in the five hundred years after his death, the Great Han Jianghu would never have peace for generations, and he would return after five hundred years.”

“Many people thought this was just Ying Ying Shuntian’s incompetent rage before he died, but they didn’t know this was a backup plan he left behind.”

“His corpse was buried in the Life and Death Chessboard under Mirror Reflection Lake, where there was a strange formation he left behind that could continuously repair his primordial spirit.”

“Five hundred years is exactly the time for him to fully recover.”

“As long as someone can open the Life and Death Chessboard under Mirror Reflection Lake, he can be resurrected with demonic thoughts and reappear in the Jianghu.”

“And the key to opening Mirror Reflection Lake is the Ling Shuang Sword.”

“Even fewer people know that the Ling Shuang Sword is divided into two swords, one righteous and one evil: the righteous sword sharpens the edge, heart and sword become one; the evil sword is quenched with blood, invincible.”
