Primordial Divine Emperor

Chapter 536 - 243: Godslaying Sword, Southern Sword Great Emperor, Royal Race Celestial Secret Pavilion, Earth-shattering Secrets

Watching nearly a thousand new prodigies from the Hundred Sects slightly bow toward Ye Xiaofan, all the senior brothers and sisters from the Divine Sword Sect were utterly shocked, staring at the scene in a daze.

Although the reason these pinnacle representatives of prodigies were bending their proud waists was not the person’s identity or background, it was the supreme authoritative power he exuded.

In this great era, no identity or background possesses a more terrifying deterrent force than a cultivator’s own strength.

At this moment, regardless of whether those terrifying figures were sincere in their salutation or coerced, it profoundly shocked everyone’s hearts.

To make all the new prodigies of the Hundred Sects lower their noble heads — what a shocking scene that would surely make a heavy mark, destined to be recorded in future chronicles of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range realm.

Who would have thought that the once-unknown presence that joined the Divine Sword Sect, the humble figure barely glanced at in the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain,’ would shake the realm in the ’Valley of Space-Time,’ making the pinnacle prodigies of the Hundred Sects tremble in fear.

Even if this event spreads out from the ’Valley of Space-Time,’ few would be inclined to believe it, surely causing an uproar.

In front of the countless new prodigies of the Hundred Sects, Ye Xiaofan, after a slight bow, slowly turned, his gaze unable to resist looking toward the holy item atop the towering Heaven-Reaching Road.

There, a Divine Sword with astonishing might quietly floated, emanating startling energy that seemed to overshadow all divine weapons and holy artifacts along the Heaven-Reaching Road.

This item was none other than the Godslaying Sword.

Ye Xiaofan’s gaze calmly fixed on the Divine Sword floating at the pinnacle of the void, without any hesitation, he stepped forward, walking toward the Divine Sword.

Earlier, when hundreds of new prodigies of the Hundred Sects encircled him, the battlefront stretched wide and far; now the Godslaying Sword appeared as if suspended above an endless sea, beneath which lay densely packed corpses of prodigies, blood staining the Heaven-Reaching Road.

And at this moment, that figure’s long robe fluttered, three thousand strands of hair danced with the wind, as though stepping across an endless mountain of corpses and sea of blood, step by step toward where the Godslaying Sword towered.

Countless people watched this scene, breath tense, for it was overwhelmingly soul-stirring; at this moment, Ye Xiaofan appeared as an unmatched presence treading through an ancient Divine Demon Battlefield, as if the lone silhouette standing between heaven and earth after an endless brutal war, moving slowly toward there, eventually stopping beneath the Godslaying Sword.

Slowly raising his head to look at the Divine Sword above, radiating ancient and supreme energy, Ye Xiaofan felt mixed emotions in his heart. From the beginning, his purpose in entering ’this world’ was the Godslaying Sword, or more accurately, the inheritance within the Godslaying Sword, the ’Godslaying Sword Technique.’

No one, including Ye Xiaofan, predicted he would experience so much.

Luo Qingxian looked at the towering figure standing beneath the Godslaying Sword, her beautiful eyes filled with emotion and complexity, then she soared forth immediately, flying toward that realm.

Luo Qingxian, Jian Wushuang, Li Mofeng, Ke Zhenling, and other senior brothers and sisters from the Divine Sword Sect snapped back to their senses from shock, rushing into the air towards Ye Xiaofan.

Arriving at Ye Xiaofan’s side, Luo Qingxian didn’t utter many words, instead she too raised her stunning eyes to quietly gaze at the Divine Sword.

"Senior sister, what must I do to take it away and obtain the Sword Technique inheritance within?" Ye Xiaofan didn’t turn back to look at Luo Qingxian, his gaze remained firmly locked on the Godslaying Sword above.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingxian’s beautiful eyes slightly deepened, then she calmly said, "To take away the Godslaying Sword isn’t as difficult as imagined, but gaining recognition from the Divine Sword is hard, it requires a terrifyingly high Sword Dao comprehension."

"Moreover, during the process of gaining the Sword’s recognition, a cultivator needs vast amounts of spiritual power or the Power of Self-Slaying as support. You are currently severely injured, your internal Power of Self-Slaying heavily depleted; seeking recognition from the Sword again would demand enormous strength and place you at great disadvantage."

Luo Qingxian explained simply.

Her implication was, to gain recognition from the Godslaying Sword, one first needs to comprehend the parts of the Sword Technique offered by the Sword, equivalent to a test for the inheritor by the Divine Sword. Only by passing the test and earning recognition can the sword be taken away, and thereby attain the ’Godslaying Sword Technique.’

According to Luo Qingxian’s knowledge, the test of the Godslaying Sword not only demanded terrifying comprehension prowess but also rigorously assessed Martial Soul and various aspects, given that the conditions for choosing a master for such a level of divine weapon are akin to absurdity.

Even Dugu Nan hundreds of years ago, without any preparation, failed to take the Divine Sword away.

More distressingly, the Sword’s test also exhausts a cultivator’s internal power immeasurably; at present, having fought hundreds of prodigies, Ye Xiaofan’s inner Power of Self-Slaying had already been consumed significantly; should he forcefully take away the Godslaying Sword, the situation would undoubtedly become more perilous.

Once Ye Xiaofan’s internal Power of Self-Slaying is thoroughly depleted, he would lose the ability to deter thousands of new prodigies; should it come to that, the countless prodigies towering amid this realm will be left unchecked.

Originally, when Luo Qingxian agreed to help Ye Xiaofan seize the Godslaying Sword, she intended for Luo Qingchen to gain the sword’s recognition instead, as Luo Qingchen’s comprehension of Sword Dao did not lose out to the younger years of the Sword Saint, perhaps even more terrifying than what she as his sister understood.
