Chapter 1962 - 638: Sword God 3
Chu Xisheng was stunned upon hearing this, his eyes revealing an unusual gleam: "You seem to bear no enmity towards me?"
Divine Chihuo said that this being, for some unknown constraint, never participated in the conflict between the Gods and the Human Clan.
It is precisely for this reason that the sword practitioners of the Human Clan hold deep respect for this origin of swordsmanship in the world.
The problem was, throughout the previous battle, Chu Xisheng did not sense any animosity from this White Emperor Son.
This was truly surprising.
The Gold Element Gods are generational enemies of the Human Clan.
Previously, God Seven Killings even lost an arm because of him.
It’s one thing for the White Emperor Son to not harbor murderous intent, but he didn’t even show enmity, and was actually guiding and honing his Sword Dao.
"If possible, I wouldn’t mind taking your life today, lending a hand to my Father God. However, I was defeated by Yu Gong in the past, and promised him never to interfere in the Human Gods’ struggle again."
The White Emperor Son said indifferently, "So I’ve come today merely to witness the blade of the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord; it was one of the lifelong regrets that I missed him in the past. Fortunately, not only have you inherited his Sword Dao, but you have surpassed him, advancing further on his foundation."
He then looked up to the sky with a hint of self-mockery in his voice: "What’s there to fight for, actually? This world has only been opened up from Chaos for twenty-two million years, and it already shows signs of decay. When the world reaches its end, all life under the sky and the eternal Gods will come to an end as well.
The only way to escape this fate is to transcend, to rise above the world. The Ancestor Gods and Emperors foresaw this, placing their hopes on Pangu’s Essence Soul, striving for it at any cost.
The so-called Gold Element Gods and their bloodline are merely tools used by the Father God to seize that sliver of opportunity for transcendence. So, the so-called eternal enmity between humans and Gods, the blood feuds between the tribes of all Gods, are just such trivial matters—
He then glanced at Chu Xisheng again: "Among all the people and Gods I’ve seen, you are the closest to the East Emperor, one of the most promising to transcend. Not relying on Pangu’s Essence Soul, but on your own strength, keep striving, and take care of yourself."
As he said these words, the White Emperor Son turned and walked into the depths of the darkness, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Chu Xisheng just stood there, watching his back, lost in thought.
"This person seems to have glimpsed the truth behind the so-called struggle between humans and Gods."
The Azure Dragon Star Lord swam his dragon body over: "But kid, you shouldn’t be careless; one million three hundred thousand years ago, this person was the strongest War General under the Golden God White Candle. At that time, this person was the most formidable enemy of our Human and Dragon Clan. Can he truly set aside bloodline differences, stand by and watch this conflict? I’m afraid not—"
As the Azure Dragon Star Lord spoke, he suddenly sensed something, turning his dragon head to look down at Chu Xisheng.
He found that Chu Xisheng was not listening at all.
Chu Xisheng was standing there, enraptured, in a mystical and profound state.
At the same time, an immensely powerful Sword Intent and Sword Qi surged from Chu Xisheng’s body, almost dispersing and crushing the hundred-zhang sky dome above them.
A hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Azure Dragon Star Lord.
Chu Xisheng had already entered a state of Sudden Enlightenment, a Heavenly Person Communication.
This was likely due to the deliberate guidance of the White Emperor Son in the previous battle, giving Chu Xisheng many insights and great inspiration.
However, this kid chose a very bad time for a sudden enlightenment.
The Azure Dragon Star Lord sensed that they were attracting many Divine Monsters from the boundless darkness, and couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.
At that moment, he saw an infinite Geng Metal Spirit suddenly condense behind Chu Xisheng.
This mass of Geng Metal Spirit continually morphed, transforming into various blade shapes, Ring Head Saber, Straight Blade, Curved Blade, Broadsword, Nine-Ring Saber, Yan Chi Blade, Willow Leaf Blade, Ghost Head Saber, Phoenix Beak Saber, Double-edged Blade.
——The different blade forms continued to evolve.
Ultimately, it coalesced into the shape of the ’Blood Vengeance Divine Blade.’
And behind this ’Blood Vengeance Divine Blade,’ a gigantic humanoid shadow appeared.
He was ten zhang tall, and his facial features were identical to Chu Xisheng’s.
In that instant, the surrounding world erupted with incredibly violent thunder, wreaking havoc on the Divine Monsters nearby, striking them to dust.
The Azure Dragon Star Lord sensed even more clearly that around the world where Chu Xisheng stood, there seemed to be two enormous Yin Yang Fish Diagrams, invisible and intangible yet filled with infinite truths, generating and rotating on either side.
That was the manifestation of the ’Heavenly Dao’—
"What is this?"
Lu Luanti raised her eyes in utter astonishment.
Her cultivation was not on par with the Azure Dragon, and she didn’t sense the Heavenly Dao, but she felt her Twin Blades at her waist trembling incessantly.
This treasure sword, at a half-step super-grade rank, initially resisted the pressure from Chu Xisheng’s Sword Intent with all its might. But soon, the resistance grew weaker, and they instinctively wanted to sheath themselves, to bow to Chu Xisheng, to submit!
Little Flat Head also jumped out in great surprise, standing atop Chu Xisheng’s head, looking up.
During the anomaly in the palace platform, Bai Xiaozhao couldn’t follow, only Little Flat Head stayed inside Chu Xisheng.
Just earlier, he felt the Geng Metal Power in his body becoming restless.
The Azure Dragon Star Lord swished his tail: "The Creator! He has enabled the Sword’s Heavenly Rules to advance, paving a path forward. He will become the Supreme Blade mentioned by the White Emperor Son, a Sword Tao Saint, the future Sword God."
This world already has the existence of the ’Sword’ among the Heavenly Rules, but it is at a very rudimentary level, at the outermost fringe of the Heavenly Dao.
But now, Chu Xisheng made this Sword’s Heavenly Rules take a significant step forward, initially forming a trend.
And at this moment, he was unaware that the White Emperor Son, having already left the ’No Heaven Black Prison,’ suddenly halted his steps.
He looked to the depths of the void, at a familiar figure: "Jin De?"
It was none other than the Golden Virtue Star Lord, who stepped out of the dark, his eyes filled with doubt, his brows deeply furrowed as he looked at the White Emperor Son: "Brother, what exactly are you planning?"
Not only did you refrain from helping us kill that boy, but you also guided Chu Xisheng’s Sword Dao in the end?
The White Emperor Son couldn’t be bothered to explain.
He looked down, towards the No Heaven Black Prison, towards the figure causing the ’Heavenly Dao’ to manifest, to tremor.
So quickly, had he condensed the Sword’s Heavenly Rules?
The White Emperor Son smiled with relief: "I have my purposes."
In this world, only a true Transcender can transcend the world, exist eternally.
And only a true Transcender can save the world.
There’s no doubt he is a seed of hope—
Although the hope is slim, the White Emperor Son still anticipates a miracle.
He hopes he does not perish in the future great war among the Gods.
He then raised his hand, casting a rainbow light toward Jin De: "Bring this to Father God. Quickly, you won’t be able to hold onto it. At most, it will transfer again in a day."
The White Emperor Son then turned away, stepping once more beyond the three thousand worlds of the Demon Prison.
The Golden Virtue Star Lord took the rainbow light, his divine body trembling slightly, his eyes revealing a look of ecstatic delight.
——This was a strand of Pangu’s Essence Soul!
