2025-06-29 11:48:56Feeling that there were no dangerous demonic beasts in the depths of the Demon Forest capable of threatening Luo Xiang, Luo Jin returned to the Luo Clan. On the other hand, Luo Xiang knew his grandfather had been observing him from afar. This was why he deliberately showcased his sword techniques—to assure his grandfather he could survive on his own.
After his grandfather departed, a mysterious smile formed on Luo Xiang’s lips. Whatever he was thinking, one thing was certain: he was about to execute a wild plan.
Collecting the spilled blood of demonic beasts, Luo Xiang began slicing a few Suri Leaves growing nearby to carry out his scheme. He concocted a bizarre mixture using the blood and leaves—what could only be described as a bloody herbal "rujak"—and spread it around. Moments later, the ground began to tremble.
Instead of feeling fear, Luo Xiang grinned as the heavy thuds of approaching beasts drew nearer.
“Hehehe... the hunt begins!”
As if summoned by his bait, dozens of Tier-1 demonic beasts surrounded Luo Xiang.
“Hahahaha! Come at me all you want!”
Sharpening his survival instincts, Luo Xiang readied his sword as one of the beasts lunged forward. What these creatures didn’t realize was that their prey had once been a feared God.
Swuuuush! Slaaaash!
Dodging the first attack, Luo Xiang slashed through one beast cleanly, splitting it in half with a single stroke. But there was no time to relax—dozens more rushed him all at once.
“I love this kind of chaos!” he exclaimed gleefully.
"Phoenix Sword Dance!" Luo Xiang shouted, unleashing his signature technique.
Instantly, his movements became wild and ferocious. Like a butcher in a slaughterhouse, he cut down the surrounding demonic beasts with ruthless precision. In just ten minutes, none remained.
Catching his breath, Luo Xiang sat down to recover his drained stamina, unaware of the grave mistake he had made. The stench of blood had drawn in something much worse.
A deafening roar echoed a kilometer away.
Rooooaarh!
“Damn it, I forgot...” Luo Xiang muttered, quickly collecting the beasts’ soul crystals.
But it was already too late. A Five-Headed Tiger, a Tier-3 demonic beast, arrived on the scene.
“Crap... a Tier-3 beast!”
Knowing he stood no chance, Luo Xiang bolted, the beast hot on his heels. Unfortunately, the tiger had already marked him as prey.
“Aaahhh! If I’d known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done something so reckless!” Luo Xiang screamed as he ran for his life.
Despite lacking Qi energy, Luo Xiang managed to maintain a lead. Somehow, the beast couldn’t close the distance.
After twenty minutes of fleeing, the fatigue from the body’s former weakness slowed him down. The Five-Headed Tiger finally struck, its Qi-formed claw slashing across his back.
Slaaaash! Braaaak!
Thrown against a tree, the claw had cut three centimeters deep into his flesh. Blood poured from the wound, but Luo Xiang pushed through the pain and continued running.
Reaching the edge of a deep chasm, he halted. His face paled—it was bottomless.
Behind him, the Five-Headed Tiger licked its lips as if to say, “Nowhere left to run, weakling... you’re my dinner!”
“Tch! If I were at the Dao Dan level, you’d be the one in my belly, idiot!” Luo Xiang snapped.
With no way to fight, Luo Xiang smiled grimly.
“If facing you means death anyway... then I’ll take my chances with the fall!”
Without hesitation, he leapt into the abyss.
His scream echoed, while the tiger looked almost disappointed.
“Aaaahhh! If it’s this deep, I really am going to die!” Luo Xiang shouted.
Gedebooom!
A dull explosion rang out as his body slammed into the bottom. Darkness swallowed him—his weak body couldn’t withstand the impact.
But just as his consciousness faded, black flames began to envelop him.
The flames spiraled, lifting his body as if they had a will of their own. Slowly, they forced themselves into his broken bones.
The black fire began to temper his bones anew. Had Luo Xiang been awake, he would’ve felt excruciating agony. The process repeated again and again, lasting a full week.
Whether by fate or fortune, Luo Xiang’s consciousness returned—only to be met with soul-searing pain.
“AAAGGHH!” His eyes snapped open, tears flowing involuntarily from the unbearable torment. Never in his life, not even as a God, had he felt such pain.
“Wh-What’s happening to me...”
Hooosh! Hooosh!
Panting heavily, he endured the process—his bones crushed, then reborn. After two more hours, it finally ended.
To his astonishment, his body felt much stronger—his bones now dozens of times tougher.
Sitting up, Luo Xiang examined his condition. A frown appeared when he noticed his dantian was no longer broken, and that one of the three empty elements inside him had been filled.
“Is this a dream in the afterlife?” he muttered in disbelief.
“And this...”
Swoooosh!
Black flames danced in Luo Xiang’s hand. As he analyzed the flame’s energy, he recognized a trace of demonic aura within it.
“Isn’t this... the Heaven-Devouring Flame!” Luo Xiang's eyes widened in shock.
Amidst his surprise, memories of the previous wielder of the Heaven-Devouring Flame surfaced. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he recalled the fallen Demon Prince Hai Long.
“Too bad this flame is no longer in its prime... But now that it’s mine, I’ll make sure you become one of my secret weapons.”
Storing the Heaven-Devouring Flame back into his body, Luo Xiang turned his attention to escaping the chasm. It was pitch black with no visible path out—his only option was to climb.
Swuuuuush!
Drawing a pair of small daggers from his spatial ring, he began scaling the wall by driving the blades into the rock, step by step.
An hour passed. Though exhausted, Luo Xiang finally saw the edge of the cliff. He pushed himself harder, nearing the top.
“F-Finally...”
Hoosh! Hoosh! Catching his breath, he stabilized his stamina and absorbed the surrounding Qi.
After a few minutes of recovery, Luo Xiang resumed hunting demonic beasts to grow stronger.
Using his light body technique, he moved swiftly and soon encountered a pack of Golden Fang Wolves.
“Finally found you.”
Recognizing the Tier-1 and Tier-2 beasts relied on group tactics, Luo Xiang unsheathed his sword.
The wolves began circling him, mistaking him for prey. But they didn’t realize they were the ones marked for death.
Swuuuush!
Luo Xiang spun and slashed to the east, instantly killing a Tier-1 wolf. He did it again, targeting weaker ones to break the group’s formation.
Slaaaash! Slaaaash!
Two wolves fell. The rest growled in unison.
‘Auuuuuu!’ they howled, then launched a full-scale attack.
With strikes coming from every direction, Luo Xiang zigzagged, dodging with precision.
Hmph!
Slaaash! Slaaaash!
Pivoting, he countered with two clean slashes, forcing the wolves to retreat. Those who couldn’t move fast enough were decapitated.
“Phoenix Sword Dance!”
With that, he unleashed another wave of attacks. His blade whirled with deadly grace, killing dozens of wolves in seconds.
Minutes later, all the beasts lay dead.
“Done.”
Swuuuush! Swuuuush!
Five young men stepped out from the trees, eyes glinting with greed as they saw the slain beasts.
“Hand over the soul crystals and you can walk away painlessly,” one of them said coldly.
Luo Xiang’s expression turned cold. Rage simmered inside—these bastards wanted to steal his spoils.
“I suggest you leave... or your lives will be the price.”
They laughed maniacally.
“Hahaha! Just you?!”
Swuuuung!
They revealed their cultivation—Dao Initial Stage, stars four and five.
“Afraid now?”
“Afraid? There’s no such thing as fear when facing fools like you.”
Swuuuush!
Luo Xiang dashed forward, launching a punch at the nearest youth, Wei Ho, who couldn’t even follow his movements.
Baaams!
“So fast!” the others gasped.
Wei Ho stumbled back and shouted, “What are you waiting for?! Attack him, idiots!”
“Yes!”
They attacked in unison—but Luo Xiang effortlessly dodged, countering with open-handed slaps.
Plaaak! Plaaak! Plaaak! Plaaak!
One by one, he slapped them across the face, then stepped back to collect the scattered soul crystals.
“Leave. I’ll consider this settled. But if we meet again, and you try something stupid... I won’t show mercy.”
The four nodded fearfully—but not Wei Ho. As the third son of the Wei patriarch, he couldn't stand being humiliated.
Just as Luo Xiang gathered the last crystal, Wei Ho lunged at him.
Luo Xiang, sensing the attack, smiled faintly.
"Demon Slash!" Wei Ho shouted, unleashing his sword strike.
Swuuuush!
Luo Xiang spun, raising his sword to block the surging energy.
Baaams!
Dust burst into the air. Thinking his attack succeeded, Wei Ho laughed.
“See?! Trash like him scares you all?!”
But as the dust cleared, the others saw Luo Xiang standing behind Wei Ho. They stared wide-eyed, silently signaling him.
Sensing something wrong, Wei Ho turned—only to find darkness. He collapsed, never to move again.
“You... killed..."
“Go. Before your turn comes.”
Terrified, the others fled.
Luo Xiang looted Wei Ho’s ring and resumed collecting crystals.
Two weeks later, with over 500 soul crystals in hand, Luo Xiang sat among them.
“Soul-Devouring Dragon Technique!”
Swuuuung!
The crystals shattered, energy flooding into him.
Baaams! Dao Initial, Star Three!
Baaams! Dao Initial, Star Four!
Baaams! Dao Initial, Star Five!
But he couldn’t break into Dao Core.
“Damn... this many resources, and still no breakthrough?”
Swuuuush!
Luo Jin arrived. Shocked by his grandson’s growth, he demanded answers.
“Kid... what happened?! How did your dantian heal?!”
Fwoooosh!
Black flames appeared. Recognizing the Heaven-Devouring Flame, Luo Jin recalled a war fifty years ago—a flame that brought disaster.
“That flame... it chose you. But don’t reveal it unless necessary.”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
Relieved yet worried, Luo Jin asked, “What’s your next move?”
“I’m going to the Han Clan... to keep my promise.”
“What?!”
Despite the gap between his and Han Lu’s power, Luo Xiang insisted.
He challenged Luo Jin himself.
“Suppress your strength to Dao Core, Star Five.”
They dueled. To Luo Jin’s surprise, Luo Xiang’s speed and swordplay overwhelmed him.
Fifty exchanges later, Luo Jin was on the defensive.
"Ghost Sword Step!" Luo Jin launched his sword technique.
Swuuuush!
Zig-zagging like a phantom, Luo Jin attacked swiftly, but Luo Xiang’s experience surpassed his.
Swuuuush! Klaaang!
Seizing an opening, Luo Xiang twisted mid-air and struck the center of Luo Jin’s blade—shattering it in two.
“You’ve lost, Grandpa.”
Luo Jin nodded in awe.
“I won’t stop you anymore.”
They returned to the Luo Clan.
A week later, Luo Xiang asked, “Where’s Mom?”
Luo Jin shook his head.
“She’s probably at the Han Clan.”
—
Luo Lan had gone to plead with the Han Patriarch. But instead, she was insulted.
“You filthy wench! Cancel the duel and pay 1000 Tier-3 soul crystals and 50 kilos of violet crystal!”
Bwoooong!
Luo Lan’s Dao Spirit, Star Five aura flared.
“Foolish woman,” Han Yu sneered, unleashing Dao Master, Star One.
—
Knowing Luo Lan had been poisoned, Luo Jin summoned his phoenix and flew with Luo Xiang to the Han Clan.
One hour later, at the Han Clan gates—no activity. Luo Jin sensed something wrong.
Two minutes later, rage flushed his face.
“Whoever hurt my daughter... I’ll kill you!”
Swuuuuung!
His Dao Soul, Star Two aura blanketed the clan. Pressure crushed the Han members.
Han Yu, surprised by this terrifying presence, hurried to the martial grounds.
“Senior, what brings you here?”
“Release Lan’er... or the Han Clan dies today!”
Terrified, Han Yu realized who he was.
“I-I’ll release her!”
“I’m fine, son...”
“No, you’re not! And now, they’ll pay!”
“I’ll compensate you—10 kilos of violet crystal!”
“Hahaha... I want your life!”
Swuuung!
Luo Jin formed a massive hand-shaped seal.
Han Yu was paralyzed.
“Why... can’t I move?”
Booooms!
A shadowy hand blocked the seal.
“Who’s there?!”
Swuuuush! Swuuuush!
Two middle-aged men appeared. Luo Jin recognized one.
“Wei Tian?”
“Hand over your grandson!”
“He killed the third son of Patriarch Wei!”
“If that’s true, you’ll have to kill me first!”
Luo Xiang checked his Divine Soul.
“One percent left...”
“Why are two elders from the Wei Clan here?” Luo Lan asked weakly.
Luo Xiang stayed silent. Was he a burden?
Suddenly, phoenix cries echoed.
Kyyaaat! Swuuuush!
Five middle-aged men in Luo robes appeared, surrounding the Wei Elders.
“So... this Luo Clan is just a branch?” Luo Xiang realized.
“You dare provoke the Luo Clan? Does the Wei Clan want war?”

“Nan’er, don’t go near your father! His memories haven’t fully recovered yet!” Yuan Yin shouted in panic.However, the caregiver named Fei Yi suddenly changed her appearance into Wen Shi. Everyone was instantly shocked by this sight—especially Luo Xiang, who had already regained all of his past memories.“Shi’er… h-how can you be alive again?!”Pulling the sword out of her own chest, Wen Shi gave a faint smile and said softly,“My fate has always been cruel. My life was toyed with… This reality was never fair to me. Gege, I was resurrected by Chang Guan…”Her body then turned into black smoke and slowly dissipated.In the next moment, Luo Nan rushed forward and hugged his father tightly. He cried uncontrollably, and his sobs soon spread to Yuan Yin as well. She ran over and embraced her husband tightly.With his memories restored, deep regret surged within Luo Xiang’s heart. He had left Yuan Yin when she needed him the most. Even worse, he felt he had failed Luo Nan as a father.“Yin’

“I don’t remember what kind of relationship you have with me. I don’t even remember anything about myself. I only want to know one thing… wasn’t it you who gave energy to the Third Heavenly Judge? What exactly are your intentions?”Setting down his small cup, the masked man clapped his hands, clearly praising Luo Xiang’s words.“In short, it’s very simple. I want to restore your lost memories. Living without a clear identity—doesn’t that lead to endless loneliness?”“With such good intentions… you must also want something from me, right?”“Hahahaha! Nothing in this world is free. Sword God, my request is very simple… I only want you to appear and kill the Supreme Emperor during the Ranking Tournament.”The Sword God fell silent in deep thought. But suddenly, Long Hua Chen, his three brothers, and Yuan Yin emerged from the void.“Gege!”Swuuuuuush!“Do you want to interfere? Isn’t it true that, to avenge the hatred in your hearts, you all share the same plan as mine? Or will you all be

Just as he was about to leave to meet the person in question, thousands of Heavenly troops suddenly surrounded Yuan Yin and the Light Clan forces.“The Light Clan has allied with the power of the Main Gods to betray the Supreme Emperor… A decree of extermination has been issued. You are now surrounded. Surrender!”Yuan Yin smiled faintly and struck the ground with her palm. Instantly, a massive formation shaped like radiant swords emerged from every corner of the grand formation established by the Light Clan. All the swords were now poised to launch an attack against the thousands of Heavenly troops.“Wife of the Sword God… why do you still insist on rebelling?”“If you hadn’t impersonated the Sword God and schemed to overthrow the Supreme Emperor’s throne, we would never have acted!”“Now, surrender!”Rooooaaaaarh!Swuuuuuuuuuush! Swuuuuuuuush!The Dragon God—and the entire Dragon Clan army—suddenly appeared from multiple directions. Their arrival immediately put the Heavenly troops

“Th-this technique…”The Sky Judge’s body trembled. He was vaguely familiar with several of the Sword God’s techniques.The moment he realized that his opponent was the real Sword God, he immediately ordered several five-star True God–stage resurrection soldiers to destroy the barrier formation that was imprisoning them.However, thousands of swords had already shot forth, slicing their bodies into countless pieces. The outcome was completely unexpected.Slaaaaaaash! Slaaaaaaash!The thousands of swords controlled by the masked man grew even more frenzied. Every single resurrection soldier present was annihilated without leaving a trace.In the end, only the Third Sky Judge remained.Luo Xiang clearly intended to kill him. Yet suddenly, a wisp of black mist surged into the Sky Judge’s body. Instantly, his eyes turned blood-red.“Damn it… Who interfered?”Luo Xiang spread out his divine soul perception, trying to locate the entity that had released the black mist.Suddenly, the Sky Jud

“Then what should we do?”“Hua Chen, you search for and monitor the masked man’s movements… As for the others, continue carrying out the plan as arranged. Qin Yan, do your utmost to conceal my husband’s existence and identity. Do not let him be exploited by the Supreme Emperor’s faction…”“We have heard and accepted the Queen’s command!”*High above the sky, after concealing his aura, Luo Xiang was utterly shocked by the conversation he had just overheard. Everything sounded extremely reasonable—especially the implication that he himself seemed to have a deep connection with that group. Moreover, because of the golden sword that had pierced the ground, he could not approach them directly, at least not before obtaining solid proof of the truth.“I’m aware that I have no one by my side. The only clue I possess is a single letter left by the Enlightened Emperor… It’s better if I don’t reveal myself for now…”Swuuuuuuush!Using his spatial power once more, Luo Xiang arrived above the cen

“Report this matter to the Queen…”Swuuuuuuush!Long Hua Chen chased after the direction in which the golden sword had flown. As for Qin Yan, he also departed, but headed in a different direction.*Elsewhere, Luo Xiang saw Xue Xan Kong leave through a teleportation formation and immediately used his spatial power. He appeared right in front of the man, whose face instantly turned pale.“M-my lord… D-didn’t you say you would release me and my family?!”Without replying, Luo Xiang sensed the aura of a mysterious figure approaching his direction and swiftly struck Xue Xan Kong’s movement meridians. After that, he carried the immobilized man into a quiet forest.Releasing the seal, Luo Xiang said, “I don’t wish to kill anyone else… Now tell me, what exactly happened to the Sword God one year ago?”“W-who are you? How could you not know such a major event?”“Speak clearly. I don’t like beating around the bush!”Xue Xan Kong’s body trembled. Although the masked man’s tone sounded calm, he
