2025-06-29 11:51:44The two elders of the Wei clan fell silent. They exchanged glances before nodding in unison.
“Hahaha! If that’s what you wish, then we truly shall issue an open declaration of war!”
Baaam!
Wei Tian immediately detonated a small orb. Within seconds, smoke billowed out—clearly a diversion as both elders made their escape.
Swuush!
In just a few seconds, both of them vanished from sight. Seeing them flee without a trace, Luo Jin’s anger slightly subsided.
“Han Yu… If you hadn’t laid a hand on Luo Lan, perhaps I wouldn’t have asked for your life… But the truth is, you’ve done something you should never have… So, surrender your life… Or a massacre in the Han clan will be the price,” Luo Jin said coldly.
Knowing there was nothing he could do—especially with five elders from the Luo clan, all clearly stronger than him—Han Yu closed his eyes.
“Very well, I will—”
“Wait!” Luo Xiang interrupted Han Yu’s words.
Han Yu instantly turned his eyes toward Luo Xiang, a glimmer of hope flickering in them—perhaps he could calm Luo Jin’s fury.
“I have a battle agreement with Han Lu… If you accept it, then my grandfather won’t take your life!”
“Can your words be trusted?!” Han Yu was visibly shocked by Luo Xiang’s request.
Meanwhile, the five elders from the Luo clan, who had just arrived, were astonished by their young master’s cultivation. The presence of cultivation meant Luo Xiang’s dantian had been restored.
This puzzled them deeply. With the Luo clan’s resources, they couldn’t possibly afford a pill strong enough to heal a shattered dantian. So the question loomed: how had their young master recovered? This mystery weighed heavily on the minds of the five elders who knew Luo Xiang well.
“Of course they can… Right, Grandpa?”
Luo Jin gave a reluctant nod, his anger slightly quelled despite his son’s injury. In the end, he had no choice but to agree to his grandson’s request.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa… This matter started because of me, and I will end it with my own hands… Besides, I owe Han Lu something for what Han Yu did to me,” Luo Xiang spoke telepathically to his grandfather.
Luo Jin nodded again, reassured by Luo Xiang’s words. Han Yu, eager to preserve his life, quickly summoned Han Lu.
Fifteen minutes later.
Han Lu finally arrived at the Han clan’s martial training grounds. Unaware of the clan’s dire situation, he smiled gleefully upon seeing Luo Xiang.
“Are you here to get crippled again?” Han Lu mocked.
Instantly, Han Yu’s face turned pale at his son’s provocation.
“Damn brat…”
“Enough… Let’s begin. But I have one condition for this duel…”
“What is it?” Han Yu asked eagerly.
“The rule is… the winner lives, and the loser dies.”
This life-or-death wager drew a serious reaction from Luo Lan.
“Son, isn’t that too much?”
Luo Jin immediately used telepathy to explain the events Luo Xiang had gone through. After hearing this, Luo Lan finally trusted her son's resolve.
“Very well, I accept!”
Swuuush!
Luo Xiang stepped into the battle arena. Han Lu shot him a disdainful look.
“Come on, then!” Han Lu challenged.
A slight smile formed at the corner of Luo Xiang’s lips. Seeing Han Lu’s overconfidence, Luo Xiang quickly lunged forward, sword in hand. Han Lu’s eyes widened in shock at Luo Xiang’s speed.
Tiiiing!
Blocking the sword strike, Han Lu felt a numbing sensation surge through his entire body.
“Damn… I underestimated him…”
Swuuung!
Releasing his five-star Dao Core cultivation aura, Han Lu began counterattacking. But Luo Xiang easily read most of his moves, forcing them both to back off and create distance.
“Since when could trash like you fight evenly with me?!”
Without replying, Luo Xiang spun around and slashed toward Han Lu.
“Heaven-Splitting Slash!”
“Annihilation Blade!” Han Lu shouted in return.
Swuuuuush! Swuuush!
Two sword energies made of pure Qi clashed in midair. In mere seconds, an explosion burst forth with shockwaves radiating across the arena.
Booooms!
Dust clouded the field. As it cleared, Han Lu was seen coughing up blood, while Luo Xiang stood unmoved—clearly, he had the upper hand.
“…”
Everyone was stunned by the outcome of their technique exchange. Even Luo Lan couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Not only was her son’s dantian restored, but he could now fight on equal ground with an opponent five levels higher.
“Incredible!”
“If that incident hadn’t happened… I believe our young master could’ve competed with the greatest geniuses of the Empire…” said the Luo clan elders in awe.
Meanwhile, Han Yu clenched his jaw. With his current strength, there was nothing he could do to help his son.
“A-Am I really going to lose you…”
“I refuse to believe I could lose to you! Did you cheat?!” Han Lu denied the results of their first exchange.
“Those words suit you more… like a frog trapped in a well,” Luo Xiang sneered.
Han Lu’s face turned beet red with fury. In an outburst of rage, he charged again with another technique.
“Death Sword Steps!”
A thin smirk appeared again on Luo Xiang’s lips. With a contemptuous gaze, he began moving his sword.
“Phoenix Sword Dance!”
Swuuuush! Tiiing! Tiiiing!
The sound of clashing weapons echoed through the arena. From the beginning, it was clear—Luo Xiang’s attacks had the advantage in every way.
Like a phoenix gracefully dancing, Luo Xiang, who could have killed Han Lu with a single strike, instead toyed with him.
“Xianger is becoming more and more mysterious…” Luo Jin muttered.
“Did you teach him that sword style?”
Luo Jin shook his head, and the two elders exchanged glances. Neither had any idea where Luo Xiang learned such a refined sword technique.
“Then who taught him? Even a genius wouldn’t be able to wield a sword with such mastery so soon!” Luo Jin realized.
“Enough… We’ll ask him after this.”
Ten exchanges passed, and Han Lu finally understood. His seventeen years of training meant nothing in front of Luo Xiang, who had trained for just one month.
Finally bored of playing with Han Lu, Luo Xiang added a feint into his Phoenix Dance.
Slaaaash! Slaaaash!
The feint worked. Both of Han Lu’s arms were severed.
“Arghhh!” Han Lu screamed in agony as a pain he had never felt before wracked his body.
“The final move!”
Slaaaash!
After severing his arms, Luo Xiang sliced cleanly through Han Lu’s neck—killing him instantly.

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
