Nine Realms Sword Emperor

Under the Saint Spring Ancestor’s screams, his body was directly suppressed by the Cangsheng Seal, his voice gradually fading away. The Saint Spring Ancestor was suppressed in the deepest space of the Cangsheng Seal, his power fully sealed, unable to escape. Witnessing this, all disciples of the Sword Dao Sect were silent; no one spoke for a time, unable to say a word.

The Saint Spring Ancestor was a renowned power across the entire Nine Domains, known as an invincible celestial general.

Yet now, the Saint Spring Ancestor had already been suppressed by the Cangsheng Seal, pressed down by Chu Fengmian.

It is known that suppressing a celestial general is far more difficult than killing one.

Because all celestial generals would rather self-destruct than be suppressed. Once suppressed and subdued, the Saint Spring Ancestor would become less than even a servant, his life and death controlled by Chu Fengmian.

Even now, he still couldn’t die even if he wanted to.

No one expected that the Saint Spring Ancestor, who came to the Sword Dao Sect to seize the Command Map, would end up with such a fate.

Above the Sword Origin Realm, countless Spiritual Senses observing this battle seemed stunned, unable to believe that the Saint Spring Ancestor was so easily defeated by Chu Fengmian.

In their predictions, even if Chu Fengmian won, it would be a pyrrhic victory, at least injuring him, allowing them to seize the Command Map afterward.

But now, Chu Fengmian sat upon the throne.

Chu Fengmian had never personally acted; he merely forced the Saint Spring Ancestor into a desperate situation from millions of miles away with Sword Light.

No disciple of the Sword Dao Sect was injured because of this battle.

The suppression and subjugation of the Saint Spring Ancestor by Chu Fengmian was merely a matter of time; in the future, the Sword Dao Sect would even have another celestial general servant, further strengthening due to this battle.

No one expected any of this.

"This person is difficult to handle; let’s go!"

Some powerhouses, upon seeing this battle, immediately retrieved their Spiritual Senses and withdrew.

Though the Saint Spring Ancestor wasn’t top-tier among celestial beings, he was surely a formidable figure, considered upper middle rank, yet now rendered powerless.

Many were less powerful than the Saint Spring Ancestor, attempting to seize the Command Map from Chu Fengmian would be suicide.

Celestial generals are astutely intelligent; they do not wish to sacrifice themselves needlessly.

The Saint Spring Ancestor gambled, believing the Sword Dao Sect was as feeble as rumored; hence, he acted recklessly.

However, witnessing the fate of the Saint Spring Ancestor, no one dared to wager anymore.

Chu Fengmian raised his leg, gazing at the sky above the Sword Origin Realm, sensing that at least half of the Spiritual Senses had vanished.

These observers have been intimidated by Chu Fengmian, abandoning the notion of seizing the Command Map.

The Command Maps are not limited to the one held by Chu Fengmian; twelve exist altogether, so their focus may not persist solely on Chu Fengmian.

As the time for the opening of the Up Sword Sect ruins approaches, more Command Maps will emerge.

In the battle moments ago, Chu Fengmian sensed a Sword Aura soaring skyward, indicating someone else in the Nine Domains had obtained a Command Map, establishing ownership.

Thus, even those seeking Command Maps may not necessarily target the one in Chu Fengmian’s possession; the perceived weakness of the Sword Dao Sect initially attracted many individuals to spy.

Chu Fengmian’s slaying of the Saint Spring Ancestor was partially to display strength, intimidating others.

If the Command Map had not been exposed, Chu Fengmian would remain discreet, yet since it is revealed, discretion holds no purpose.

Now, only strength can define who truly owns this Command Map.

Of course, not every spy left; at least one-third witness the battle but persist in observing Chu Fengmian.

These individuals haven’t resigned themselves yet.

"The Command Map is right here; whoever wants it, come and get it. But anyone who dares steps into the Sword Origin Realm shall face only death!"

Chu Fengmian spoke calmly to the outside of the Sword Origin Realm.

This voice was not loud but was clear to all outside the Sword Origin Realm.

Chu Fengmian indeed possessed confidence to guard this Command Map.

Even with the Nine Domains gathering countless powerful beings from myriad star regions, celestial generals were still few; a second-level star region typically births only one celestial general.

Within the Sword Origin Realm, aided by its Origin Power, Chu Fengmian feared not even several celestial generals joining forces.

Chu Fengmian’s words were crystal clear to those peering outside the Sword Origin Realm.

"Humph, a mere youth at half-step Heavenly Human Realm dares challenge celestial generals with the Holy Land’s Origin Power? We brothers shall take that Command Map!"

Suddenly, a cold snort sounded as two Tunneling Lights burst from outside, stepping into the Sword Origin Realm. These two figures resembled each other greatly, being blood brothers.

Yet, their attire differed entirely—both wore robes, one black, the other white.

"Black and White Young Masters?"

Seeing these two, some astonishment sounded outside the Sword Origin Realm.

"These brothers surely aim to obtain the Command Map without fail."

"Both are Sword Dao powerhouses; desiring the Up Sword Sect’s inheritance isn’t surprising."

"Though the Origin Power of this Holy Land is formidable, I believe even the combined might of the Black and White Young Masters may not resist. How dare they make a move?"

"I do not know, but they hail from the ancient Black and White Sword Sect, its history dating back hundreds of thousands of years. Perhaps they possess methods unknown to us against this Origin Power."

One by one, the powerhouses debated while observing this battle; many had not forsaken the pursuit of the Command Map.

With the Black and White Young Masters in action, they also wished to witness Chu Fengmian’s authentic strength, for his suppression of the Saint Spring Ancestor appeared effortless, seemingly not requiring full exertion.

They sought to gauge Chu Fengmian’s true capability for strategies against him.

Moreover, they awaited opportunity; if the Black and White Young Masters wounded each other in battle with Chu Fengmian, they surely would capitalize on the chance, seizing advantage.
