Within his subconscious realm, Luo Xiang used the Phoenix Flames to neutralize all the poisonous gas that blanketed his inner consciousness.It was not that the Phoenix Flames were useless—rather, this poison was no ordinary toxin. Even Samadhi Fire, the strongest flame in all realms, would be helpless against it.While burning away the poisonous gas, Luo Xiang was drawn back into his past—before his execution.Everything had started because of this very poison, which once controlled his mind. Under its influence, he had seen the elders of the Luo Sword Clan as demons who murdered his father.That fleeting memory caused his focus to waver.Then—The image of Wen Shi appeared in his mind.He remembered it clearly—how he had thrust his golden sword straight into her heart with his own hands.Jleeeeeeeeb!The memory shattered.Luo Xiang spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, and before him, he clearly saw Wen Shi smiling gently as she watched him struggle to neutralize the Heavenly Hea

In another place, at the Eternal Sky Pavilion, the seven Heavenly Elders who were accompanying the Enlightenment Emperor exchanged glances with one another. Although they did not know who had won that terrifying battle, one thing was certain—they all sensed an ominous premonition surrounding the Sword God.“Proceed with the previous plan,” the Enlightenment Emperor said calmly. “Settle the preliminary matters with the Main Gods first. After that, meet me at Taiyi Lake.”“Yes, Your Majesty…”On the other side, at Taiyi Lake—which had already dried up—“All of you, stay on guard! Remember, no one is allowed to leave the barrier. If anything suspicious or threatening to His Majesty’s life appears—kill it immediately!” one of them commanded.*What everyone struck by the black light experienced was an illusion of the heart. Though it sounded simple, this illusion was capable of killing anyone who fell prey to the Demon Emperor’s scheme.Including Luo Xiang.It was as if he awakened from s

Luo Xiang nodded.“So you already know… then let me explain the situation here first…”“To the Main Gods, thank you for coming to Taiyi Lake according to my wishes. I, the Sword God, will not dwell too much on past grievances with all of you. I died because of the schemes of the Fire God, who desired to become the Supreme Emperor. He allied himself with the Poison God, causing me to lose control, and I was then sentenced to death!”Pausing his words, Luo Xiang extended his hand.Swooooooosh!An extremely powerful suction force surged toward a magnificent structure that had already turned into ruins. Instantly, the corpse of the Poison God was dragged out, and Luo Xiang continued speaking.“The Poison God has already been killed by the Demon Emperor. He deserved it, and that also means my remaining grudge now lies with the Supreme Emperor…”“Because the future war will involve the peace of the entire universe, which side do all of you wish to stand on? I will not force you. Even if you

“It has been several years since we last met, and in every meeting we had, all I could see was your figure within this Star Soul… Star God, I will avenge your death. When that day comes, I will definitely not disappoint you!”After speaking for a moment to the Star Soul—whose energy was now continuously being absorbed by everyone inside the Soul World Cultivation Pagoda—Luo Xiang sat down and began absorbing the essence of the Star Soul’s energy to raise his cultivation.Vast torrents of energy poured terrifyingly into his meridians. After some time, Luo Xiang finally succeeded in advancing his cultivation realm to True God Realm, First Star.However, ever since meeting the Enlightenment Emperor, he had come to realize something important.Although he was capable of defeating opponents seven levels above his own cultivation, the Enlightenment Realm was different. This realm stood at the very pinnacle of all cultivation stages.Across the entire cosmos, there existed only one being who

Numb? Even after blocking that punch, he was still sent flying all the way down to the surface of the land. His right arm had been completely shattered. It was shocking—but Chang Guan merely raised an eyebrow. He had not expected that the body of the Sword God would remain intact after enduring thirty percent of his punch’s power.On the other side, after stabilizing his body, Luo Xiang regenerated his right arm using Qi energy and his Divine Soul consciousness. He truly had not expected that such a casual blow would destroy his arm.Swuuuuuuuuuush!The Enlightenment Emperor, unwilling to see his brother injured again, immediately appeared in front of Luo Xiang. He shook his head, signaling for Luo Xiang to leave and abandon him.However, Chang Guan noticed this. He swiftly formed a thin protective dome.“Since you’ve already come, why leave? A distinguished guest like you should die together with my brother!”After saying this, Chang Guan’s figure vanished from sight. In the next ins
