Chapter 34: Di Shi Tian Dominates

Jiang Xuan told the two men what he knew about the Great Tribulation of Shen Zhou over the ages; when mentioning one Demon Head, Di Shi Tian, Jiang Xuan's expression turned mocking.

"Speaking of which, the bearer of the Phoenix Blood has some connection to you, Nameless."

Nameless was doubtful; since he taught himself the sword, his path of Sword Dao could be called one of slaughter, slaughtering the martial world into decline, until he withdrew into seclusion to cultivate his body and mind, transforming his killing intent into righteous Qi.

Could it be that this Di Shi Tian was once defeated by his sword?

Now rising, becoming a master of Myth Realm level in the martial world?

Nameless racked his brains to recall past opponents, but really could not think of any opponent worthy of myth.

Even with talent as outstanding as his, he only broke through to the Tian Jian Realm after withdrawing from the martial world and letting his state of mind settle.

Without waiting for Nameless to ask, Jiang Xuan slowly opened his mouth:

"Di Shi Tian's real name was Xu Fu; about two thousand years ago, Qin Shi Huang, seeking longevity, gathered extraordinary people to deduce the location of the Phoenix together, and Di Shi Tian was among them."

"After several months of searching, they finally found the Phoenix's dwelling place, and Di Shi Tian ordered all soldiers to go surround and capture it."

"After dozens of days of great battle, they finally killed the Phoenix; after returning, Di Shi Tian used Phoenix Blood to refine a Golden Core."

"Originally intending to hand it over to Qin Shi Huang, but at this time hearing that Qin Shi Huang abused

tyrannical rule, to prevent Qin Shi Huang from continuing to bring disaster to the Mortal World, he privately swallowed the Golden Core."

"Afterward, fearing Qin Shi Huang would question him, Di Shi Tian lied that he needed to take three thousand boys and girls to Peng Lai Xian Dao to find the last medicinal ingredient for him; after obtaining Qin Shi Huang's permission, he fled Zhong Yuan."

"With the passage of time, Di Shi Tian discovered he could truly live forever, so several hundred years later he secretly returned to Zhong Yuan."

"At this time Qin Shi Huang had long since died; without this worry about his life, Di Shi Tian joined different Sects under various identities, painstakingly studying the martial arts of the hundred schools."

"In the several hundred years after that, he once served as the Martial Alliance Lord, dominating one region, and also ascended the throne during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period; after enjoying supreme power and unmatched authority, Di Shi Tian felt his long life was truly too boring, so he began to toy with mortals of the world, treating mortals as chess pieces for amusement, to relieve boredom in the passing years."

"In nearly a thousand years, Di Shi Tian countless times stirred up wars between the righteous and demonic paths, using this for amusement to pass the time; until when he incarnated as the Tianchi Blood Demon to bring harm to the Mortal World, a master named Wu Wudi appeared in the martial world; this man was not old in age, with extremely high talent; to defeat Di Shi Tian and save the people of the world, Wu Wudi comprehended a set of Ten Strong Martial Arts at Lingyun Grotto, then fought Di Shi Tian for three days and three nights, defeating him."

"Di Shi Tian after all had the support of Phoenix Blood; although defeated, he did not die; thereafter he hid himself and never appeared in the martial world again."

"For two thousand years, with invincible strength and supreme authority, naturally there were countless women."

"Your senior, Nameless, was precisely born five hundred years ago from Di Shi Tian and a woman..."

Saying so much in one breath, Jiang Xuan took a sip of tea.

"If it is truly so, I would be ashamed to have such an Ancestor, Sect Leader Jiang need not worry that I will defect to that Di Shi Tian; moreover, for hundreds of years, Di Shi Tian probably has countless descendants spread across the four seas; to him, descendants or strangers make no difference at all."

Nameless spoke decisively; regarding the identity of Di Shi Tian's descendant, he disdained it, feeling only shame, and even more determined to stop the Great Tribulation of the ages.

In a hidden Ice Palace unknown to people.

A man wearing an ice-carved mask suddenly appeared in the secret chamber, as if using the legendary wall-passing technique.

"Simply outrageous!"

Invisible anger erupted, almost melting this Xuan Bing Secret Chamber.

Under the impact of a strong aura, all items in the secret chamber were swept away by a raging wind, turning into dust.

Anger rose, and the man's body temperature even increased all at once.

Thinking of how he had plotted for decades, captured the Phoenix to gain longevity, and the years could not leave traces on him.

He had endless time to enjoy everything he wanted to enjoy and do everything he wanted to do.

Once incarnating as the Martial Alliance Lord representing Justice to uphold the righteous path of the Mortal World, martial arts Sects revered him, enjoying the respect of ten thousand people.

Also incarnating as a Demon Head bringing disaster to the Mortal World, the martial world knelt at his feet, and all martial artists under Heaven changed color at the mention of him.

He even served as emperor; countless lives and deaths were between his thoughts.

Two thousand years of time, supreme authority, the most beautiful women in the Mortal World, the most powerful martial arts; countless people revered him, countless people feared him.

All the beauty of the Human World he had possessed.

He always believed he was Heaven, was God, was the only True God of this Heaven and Earth.

Longevity, invincibility, toying with the fate of all living beings, controlling the rise and fall of dynasties; if he was not a God, who was?

"The battle at Wushuang City, Nameless, Jiang Xuan, Sword Saint, and that immortal of longevity from the Sword World, that mass of chaotic evil shadow..."

Terrifying True Qi erupted, and the entire secret chamber shook.

"Under this Heaven, apart from Nameless, when did so many masters suddenly appear?"

"This Seat accumulated for a thousand years, enduring countless hardships to achieve today's accomplishments; a God Realm expert like this Seat, yet five were pinched to death at a wave of the hand."

What made him even more furious was that the Sword Saint actually spoke of obtaining the Dragon's Opportunity; the Auspicious Day was still over ten years away; how did he find the Dragon; was the so-called Opportunity Dragon Origin or Dragon Blood? Could it be the Dragon had already been hunted?

If he had not obtained the Dragon's Opportunity, how did he break through?

Just thinking that Dragon Origin had the divine effect of preventing aging and death, even surpassing his Phoenix Blood; if that Sword Saint truly obtained Dragon Origin, would he not be able to prevent aging and death; Di Shi Tian became even more jealous and went mad.

In this Heaven and Earth, apart from him, no one else deserved longevity.

And, this Sword Saint suspected of obtaining Dragon Origin, joining forces with Nameless, was actually defeated by one sword from this Jiang Xuan who occupied the Tianxia Alliance.

Thinking of this, Di Shi Tian's heart grew even colder; a sinister chill emitted from his whole body; his voice was shrill like sand rubbing:

"Damn it, all of them damn it; under this Heaven there can only be one God, me."

In a remote and desolate mountain cave in Shen Zhou.

"Xiong Ba" surrounded by aura constantly changing; one moment emitting a rigid, cold, lingering True Qi surge, the next moment permeating sword intent striking all directions.

Boom! Hiss!

Violent power spread out; True Qi crisscrossed; sword intent like a dragon, tearing the Void, bombarding the cave walls.

The already unstable cave now had shocking cracks everywhere, dense as a spider web, on the verge of collapse.

"Damn it, you are only at Grandmaster Peak; how is your soul so powerful."

The consciousness voice of Sword Yue also sounded in Xiong Ba's mind, gnashing his teeth in anger.

He felt he truly lived up to his name; too tragic.

Just as he emerged from the Sword World, someone cut him down with a single sword strike, leaving only his soul to flee.

After great difficulty he found a person of outstanding aptitude to possess, never expecting that this person's body already contained another soul.

To confront him, that soul actively fused with the body's owner's soul.

It was fusion rather than devouring; what shocked him was that the two souls were actually of the same origin and could perfectly merge.

"You want to possess this old man? Then this old man will devour you."

Xiong Ba's eyes were blood-red, his inner heart roaring, mad and grief-stricken like a wild beast.

In the battle of Tianxia, he had no power to fight back and was nearly killed by a single strike, left with only a breath of life.

Were it not for his father, Old Master Purple Clothes, who had always supported him from behind and snatched his body away at the critical moment, he would probably have perished body and soul back then.

But Old Master Purple Clothes had no good intentions either; if Xiong Ba's life had been unharmed it would have been one thing, but he was left clinging to a single breath, and Old Master Purple Clothes, with the thought of "making use of waste," wanted to devour him, hoping to break through to the Martial Myth Realm in one go.

These past days, the two souls struggled for control of Old Master Purple Clothes's body, neither yielding to the other.

In the end, the father and son reached a consensus, the two of them sharing Old Master Purple Clothes's body.

Until the battle of Wushuang City, when they were once again noticed by Jiang Xuan.

At that time, Xiong Ba and his son felt only utter despair, prepared for death, and their imperial ambitions were completely lost.

But unexpectedly, just as Jiang Xuan stepped forward, the originally gradually closing Sword World actually produced a huge vortex that froze Jiang Xuan's silhouette.

A thread of vitality in a situation of ten deaths and no life.

Heaven would not let his Xiong Ba die.

Xiong Ba, a hero by nature, would naturally not let slip this opportunity, fleeing at the fastest speed of his life.

Only after fleeing more than a hundred li did Xiong Ba slightly let out a breath of relief.

When Xiong Ba, having recovered his senses, circulated his True Qi to recover, he discovered that something seemed to have appeared inside his body; the two of them, having experienced their father and son's physical struggle before, immediately understood what had happened.

An existence that had escaped from the Sword World and likewise been defeated under Jiang Xuan's sword had set its sights on them, and also wanted to seize their bodies.

For a while, the father and son's souls were beaten back step by step; not long after, they would probably be devoured by Sword Yue.

Just escaped the wolf pack, only to fall into the tiger's mouth.

In this struggle of souls, the two of them used every means and exerted all their strength, but could only slightly delay the time of being devoured.

In the struggle, they discovered that their soul fragments could actually merge with each other.

In the end, the father and son made a bold decision: while confronting the monster Sword Yue, they would devour each other, forming a brand new Xiong Ba.

A reborn Xiong Ba that fused both men's martial arts experience and memories.
