2025-06-30 10:22:29Upon witnessing the tragic death of his son, Han Yu could only close his eyes.
"Xianger, let’s go back..."
Luo Xiang nodded, then turned to look at Han Yu, who still had his eyes shut.
"The old and new grudges shall begin... If one day I surpass you, I’ll return and take your life with my own hands..."
Han Yu nodded. “There’s no need to wait for the future... Today, you are the victor!”
Swuuush! Slaaash!
Drawing a sword from his spatial ring, Han Yu took his own life right before the eyes of Luo Xiang, Luo Jin, and Luo Lan. For him, there was no reason to live after witnessing the death of his beloved child.
Narrowing his eyes, Luo Jin looked at the remaining members of the Han Clan, now frozen in confusion and fear after seeing their patriarch commit suicide.
“I won’t hold anything against you... You may choose your own path—join the Luo Clan or rebuild the Han Clan,” he said, with a subtle hint of threat in his tone. Then, Luo Jin took Luo Xiang and Luo Lan back to the Luo Clan.
Upon arriving at the Luo Clan…
“Xianger... Well done!” one of the elders praised Luo Xiang's swordsmanship.
“Oh right… May I ask who your teacher is?” Luo Jin asked seriously.
This question had been carefully prepared by Luo Jin at Luo Lan’s request. After all, the Luo Clan did not possess the sword techniques Luo Xiang had displayed.
Luo Xiang nodded and quickly activated the remaining Divine Soul consciousness within him. At once, a terrifying sight made everyone in Luo Xiang’s residence tremble.
What they saw was a man standing tall, exuding an indescribable aura that overwhelmed those who gazed upon him.
“Wh-who is that?!”
“Son… Do you know his name?” Luo Jin asked respectfully.
Luo Xiang shook his head. “Master only told me that if my parents asked about him, I should simply summon the soul he left behind.”
Realizing that his grandson’s master was beyond his own comprehension, Luo Jin finally let out a relieved breath.
“Hehehe... In all the realms, perhaps no one is worthy to be my master!” Luo Xiang mused inwardly with a mysterious smile.
Everyone nodded in understanding. After learning who Luo Xiang’s master was, Luo Jin brought up the issue regarding Wei Ho.
Luo Xiang explained everything in detail, and they finally understood the root of the problem. Even though it began as a youthful conflict, Wei Ho was the third son of the Wei Clan—meaning a great clan war was inevitable.
Shortly after, Luo Jin shared secret knowledge of the main clan with Luo Xiang, clearly showing his hopes for Luo Xiang to one day become the clan leader. After all, both Qing Tian and Luo Lan had only one heir.
“The Sword Domain... This place is said to be a hidden realm within the Sky Continent... And there are many powerful forces residing in it... It seems the Luo Clan isn’t as simple as I thought,” Luo Xiang muttered.
“Though you’re the sole heir... In the law of nature, strength determines power... Besides, the clan is in a chaotic state, so for now, you won’t be able to train in the main family,” Luo Jin explained.
Luo Xiang nodded in understanding. Having received so much information, he felt the weight of the responsibility placed on his shoulders.
“Very well, Grandfather... One day I will surpass even my father’s achievements... And I will restore the Luo Clan to its former glory!”
After their serious talk, laughter filled the room when Luo Jin pulled out jars of wine from his spatial ring.
That night.
“Mother... How are you feeling?”
Luo Lan smiled sweetly upon hearing her son’s concern for her condition.
“I’ve started to recover...”
Luo Xiang nodded and, without a word, checked the poison within his mother’s body by reading her pulse.
Moments later…
“Heavenly Demon Poison?!” Luo Xiang’s eyes widened in shock.
Luo Lan's expression also turned to one of disbelief. Very few people knew what poison resided in her body.
“H-how did you know, my son?!”
Luo Xiang shook his head. “This is another blessing my master left me... But how did you come to be poisoned with something so deadly, Mother?!”
Luo Lan closed her eyes for a moment. After mustering her courage to reveal a secret kept for seventeen years, she looked warmly into her son’s eyes.
“This poison came when I was protecting you while you were still a child…”
Flashback – Seventeen Years Ago
The Sword Domain was in great turmoil due to a power struggle for the throne of the domain. Major clans and sects residing there had gathered, for in the law of nature, only the strong shall rule. They held a tournament among patriarchs and sect leaders in the domain.
A month before the tournament began, the Luo Clan was infiltrated by five Semi-Divine Realm experts. As a result, Luo Lan and Qing Tian—Luo Xiang’s father—had no choice but to battle these five invaders.
Surprisingly, the couple proved too strong, and the attackers couldn’t defeat them. Eventually, the enemies resorted to targeting young Luo Xiang to escape. This incident severely damaged Luo Xiang’s dantian and poisoned Luo Lan when one of the attackers struck her with a palm laced in deadly venom.
After telling the whole story, Luo Lan broke down in tears, blaming herself. Had she been more vigilant, her son would never have suffered. This guilt led Qing Tian to establish a branch family as a place of exile for Luo Xiang.
Luo Lan believed that had the past unfolded differently, Luo Xiang might have become a respected figure in the Sword Domain today.
Luo Xiang responded only with a warm smile, for without that tragic past, the path of vengeance he now walked would never have unfolded. In other words, if the soul's original owner had survived, Shen Luo Xiang would have truly perished when punished in the Divine Realm.
“Don’t worry, Mother... As for the poison in your body... Xianger will heal it.”
Luo Lan wiped the tears from her cheeks. Her regret transformed into pride at her son’s determination.
“My son... Even though I believe in you, this poison continues to drain my cultivation... If it’s not cured within three years, I’ll surely—”
“There’s no such thing as impossible, Mother. Xianger will heal you!” Luo Xiang cut her off.
Luo Lan could only nod. After they shared a moment of comfort, Luo Xiang revealed the real reason for his visit.
“Do you give me your blessing to leave again?”
Without hesitation, Luo Lan nodded in approval of her son’s decision.
“Of course, I will. But promise me... Be careful out there...”

Moving in a zigzag pattern, Luo Xiang unleashed his sword technique.“Phoenix Sword Dance!”With just a single technique, the tide of battle shifted entirely. Luo Xiang now dominated the fight. Every strike landed flawlessly, and Luo Xiang could clearly see Shen Nan’s face twitching—unable to keep up with his movements.He danced gracefully, showcasing the beauty of his sword arts. Shen Nan’s attacks faltered, and he was forced to pull back from the battle.“What? You’re already retreating after just a few techniques?”Shen Nan let out a bitter smile. It was clear that his combat experience could not compare to the true Sword God standing before him.“No wonder you were given the title ‘Sword God’... As expected, from the aspect of swordsmanship alone, defeating you is nearly impossible!”Right after speaking those words, Shen Nan withdrew his sword back into his spatial ring. Moments later, he closed his eyes as two completely different auras erupted violently from within his body.B

Like a fleeting, formless shadow, Luo Xiang shot forward at peak speed toward the mysterious figure.On the other side, the three Elders finally snapped out of their daze after realizing Luo Xiang had departed.“L-look over there! Th-the Goddess!” Yin Daihe exclaimed, drawing every beastkin’s attention toward the eye of the resurrection formation of Goddess Su Hua.Indeed, Su Hua’s body was now bent forward, and the eye of the resurrection formation fired a golden beam into the sky. This ray signaled that Su Hua’s new spirit soul had been reborn perfectly. The beastkins could even feel the overwhelming aura rising from her—an aura that threatened their very existence.“H-her aura is so strong?! W-why is it so different from the previous Goddess?”“I don’t know… I-is this because we used dragon blood?”The beastkins whispered among themselves regarding Su Hua’s awakening. Yet none of them realized that a terrifying battle was about to erupt near Yin Qiyi’s Ghost City.Above the skies o

The laws of heaven attempted to destroy what Luo Xiang was about to accomplish. However, a powerful barrier suddenly appeared, causing the heavenly lightning to explode midway. Although it managed to block one strike from the laws of heaven, mere seconds after heaven grew furious, the barrier crafted by the Dragon God ancestor cracked—and finally shattered into dust.Traaaack! Traaaack!“Xiang, do you have a death wish?! Leave now! While the laws of heaven are still gathering their divine thunder!”A faint smile appeared on Luo Xiang’s lips upon hearing the Dragon God ancestor’s concern. But in his first life—Shen Luo Xiang, the birth of the Sword God—everything had been orchestrated by the Fire God. Now, feeling his divine lightning reacting as well, and knowing his second life might not grant him the chance to become the Sword God again, Luo Xiang chose to follow his heart. He prepared to soar into the sky toward the incoming heavenly strike.“Young master, move away! That attack sh

Not answering the ancestral request of the Dragon God, Luo Xiang now sat upon the surface of the Soul World’s ground. Moments later, the star energy that spread across the entire Soul World began to stir the moment Luo Xiang entered cultivation.“Sky-Devouring Dragon Technique!”Swuuuuuung!Inside the Soul World, madness erupted as he absorbed the scattered star energy. The energy that had begun to gather suddenly surged unnaturally into Luo Xiang’s body. How could this be? The Sky-Devouring Dragon Technique was, in truth, the most insane cultivation technique in the history of cultivators.To create this technique, Luo Xiang had studied countless Heavenly-rank cultivation arts. This was what stimulated his intelligence and monstrous talent. By comprehending every technique, Luo Xiang eventually managed to merge them all into one. In the end, the Sky-Devouring Dragon Technique was successfully created by Luo Xiang himself.If the Gods used inherited cultivation techniques passed down

“Th-that jade in young master’s hand… isn’t it the Arhat Jade bestowed by the Sword God before the Goddess’s death?”“And that staff… I hope young master will grant it to us, for that staff symbolizes the authority of the demon world!”Luo Xiang nodded, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips.“This staff I shall give you, but in return for reviving Goddess Su Hua. As for myself, I only ask to keep this Arhat Jade. You won’t object, will you?”The three demon elders exchanged glances, conversing telepathically. After a brief moment, they nodded in unison.“The Arhat Jade may be of use to us, but since young master desires it, we shall not contest.”Luo Xiang nodded again and handed the staff to Yin Qiyi. Observing the exchange, the Dragon God Ancestor furrowed his brows.“Why did you only ask for the Arhat Jade?” he asked via telepathy, puzzled.Luo Xiang gave a sly smile.“Good thing you asked through telepathy! Otherwise, they might have demanded back something far greater t

Yin Han began unleashing punches into the air. As though time itself had frozen, within mere moments a vortex of Qi energy emerged from the void, followed by gales of wind sweeping against the colossal hand in the sky.The fluctuation of Qi energy, along with the violent gusts, spread with immense force. Even Luo Xiang was forced to retreat, flying back toward Su Hua’s remnant soul.“He’s far too strong… If only the Goddess had left me more energy, I could have killed him in a single strike!” Su Hua exclaimed, making Luo Xiang understand.“I never expected Yin Han and Yin Wei to have reached the Divine Stage either,” added Yin Qiyi, as Yin Daihe and Yin Lang appeared at Luo Xiang’s side.Luo Xiang gave a faint smile. “Indeed, the Divine Stage can destroy an entire Empire with a single move. But that does not mean… they are without weakness.”“D-does young master have a solution? Right now, only Qiyi has stepped into the Divine Stage!”Nodding, Luo Xiang fixed his gaze on Yin Han and Y
