Possessed by my father, I was reborn and became the supreme ruler.

They were being slowly pulled away from their original positions, pushed backward by a powerful force. An invisible force kept them outside the battlefield's blast radius.

His body was completely absorbed into the endless darkness until a sharp and incomparable sword light pierced through the dark world and shot out from mid-air.

Xuanhuo Peak, where rocks collapsed to reveal a sheer cliff, vast sword energy stirred up all directions, darkness retreated, and the earth roared!

The Emperor's Soul burned and transformed into sword energy, while the Emperor's Spirit refined the Emperor Sword to be born!

The Emperor Sword, forged by the Xuanhuo Sect's Xuanjian Emperor with his own soul, is tens of millions of feet tall, reaching straight to the Thirty-Three Heavens beyond the heavens.

The Emperor Sword, imbued with the essence and spirit of the Great Emperor, shone with unparalleled brilliance, distorting space and tearing through the void. It cleaved down from the heavens beyond the sky, rushing straight towards the World-Destroying Spirit King at the center of the fire vortex!

The Emperor's Sword cleaved through the floating clouds in the sky, and where the sword roared, the earth was cleaved open by countless ravines by the sword energy, and the scorching flames shattered all demons!

The demons at the front of the alternate dimension were torn apart and burned by the sword energy, turning into nothingness, while the demons at the back continued to be replenished in an endless stream.

"Great Emperor Xuanjian, the alternate dimension has been opened. Even if you wish to perish together with others, it will be meaningless!"

"The army of the Spirits of Annihilation has arrived!" The Spirit King of Annihilation, shrouded in black mist, cackled.

Following countless demons, a terrifying, creaking sound suddenly rang out, growing louder and louder, as if billions were pressing down upon them.

Deep within another dimension, there seems to be an unknown entity frantically devouring the gathered demons, its oppressive aura pressing down on the mortal realm, as if it too intends to devour everything in this world.

That was an unknown, world-destroying spirit, far more terrifying than any demon, slaughtering and devouring everything!

The most terrifying apocalypse has arrived!

The imperial sword, imbued with imperial will, which was suppressing the enemy in mid-air, gradually slowed down and dimmed, as it was suppressed by an unknown force!

The calamity of humankind has arrived, and it cannot be averted by the power of the Great Emperor alone!

Even the Xuan Emperor could not prevent the apocalypse of the great calamity from arriving.

The spirits of destruction devour and destroy everything, including the demons they control.

The Xuanzong cultivators behind them unleashed all their magical artifacts, but to no avail. The destructive sound of the spirit of destruction was overwhelming!

No one could believe it; an unprecedented and unknown darkness was descending.

Ye Yunjian wanted to close his eyes, but the cracks in his body were getting bigger and bigger.

Forced empathy left him with no choice but to confront it all!

Darkness, the unknown, death, and the bizarre, evil, and mania intertwine.

Surrounded by dark mist, the World-Destroying Spirit King strode towards the human world outside the rift.

"All living beings in the human realm shall henceforth belong to my demon race!"

"Destroying spirits, you shall devour everything in this world at will!"

Following the clamoring sound, a frenzied echo from another dimension resounded, with billions of clamoring sounds coming through the spatial rift.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Driven by this sound, countless demons surged toward the human world, feeding on living people before being devoured by the spirit of destruction.

As the dense black mist of death enveloped them, the World-Destroying Spirit King gradually drew closer.

One hundred steps, fifty steps, the calamity of heaven and earth has arrived!

The sword formed from the soul of the Xuan Emperor, just like his previous life, could no longer withstand the power of the calamity and shattered and collapsed inch by inch!

"I am the sword!"

Ye Yunjian's body faced the Faceless Spirit King in the black mist, whispered a word, stood with his feet together, and formed a sword gesture with his hands.

His body erupted with dazzling light, so bright and dazzling that Ye Yunjian discovered that his body had transformed into the body of the Emperor Sword!

This is the transformation of the Xuanjian Emperor himself, which is the Emperor Sword itself!

As soon as the words were spoken, the helmet, armor, robe, mask, and sword all shone with spiritual light!

Within the sheer cliff, the spirits of the great emperors of Xuanzong throughout history appeared in mid-air!

The mausoleum of Emperor Xuanzong, which has stood for thousands of years, contains the remains of countless heroic spirits. Though their bodies are dead, their guardian spirits have not been extinguished!

From behind, countless sounds rose and fell, resounding throughout the world.

"I am the sword!"

"I am the sword!!"

"I am the sword!!!"

One after another, sword spirits converged from mid-air, from the mausoleum, and from all directions, into the sword formed from the body of the Xuanjian Emperor.

These departed heroes could have chosen to reincarnate, and these living people could have preserved their spirits. But now, with the calamity upon the world and the approach of the end times, they have all abandoned their present and future lives!

The heroic spirits all turned to dust and returned to the earth. The spiritual energy of the Xuanzong cultivators also flew away, torn apart inch by inch, turning into dust and returning to nothingness.

As long as I am here, my sword will be here!

I will sacrifice myself to give life to the next generation.

"I am the sword."

Thousands of sword spirits converged on the Emperor Sword, forming an unprecedented sword aura that tore through the heavens and earth. Even the cackling of the world-destroying spirits from the infinitely deep and mysterious alternate dimension froze for a moment at this moment.

The sword path stretches like a rainbow, piercing the sunset!

"My path has been proven; I test my conscience, as clear as the sun and moon!!!"

As soon as he uttered those words, Ye Yunjian felt himself transform into a dazzling sword aura, and he slashed down at the World-Destroying Spirit King who was trying to avoid the fire vortex!

He transformed himself into a sword; the sword's rise caused the heavens to crumble, and its power shook the ages!

He transformed himself into a sword, all spirits converged, and time and space were twisted!

The Spirit King was horrified, the demons retreated in terror, and millions of sword spirits from the mortal realm gathered to break through the eerie darkness, destroy the barriers of evil spirits, eliminate the rampant wickedness, question the heavens and earth, and eradicate all demonic spirits.

The Faceless King of Annihilation roared, summoning all the spirits of Annihilation to form a spirit shield to defend against it.

The sword spirit pierced through the spirit shield, broke through the defense, and shot straight through the heart, unleashing a terrible roar.

The dimensional rift contracted rapidly, the demons scattered, and the black mist formed by the World-Destroying Spirit Army vanished in the blink of an eye.

A black spirit rapidly scattered and escaped, but the sword energy transformed from Ye Yunjian was powerless to stop it!

He felt his body and the sword energy he had transformed into were exhausted and dissipated. Five points of spiritual light flew out and scattered into the Frostless Helmet, Azure Mist Armor, Golden Flame Robe, and Moon Spirit Mask respectively. His own location also turned into spiritual light and fell into the Xuanhuo Wuyun Sword in mid-air.

The sound of the Soul-Summoning Bell slowly emanating from the Xuanhuo Sect's bell tower came on the morning of the second day.

The bell tower of the Xuanhuo Sect is called "Xuan Pavilion". It has twelve pillars on all four sides, which are made of Xuan rock and cast with Xuan gold. The seal runes of the Xuanhuo Sect leaders of the past generations are engraved on it. It was built by the Xuanhuo Sect three thousand years ago to seal the missing human soul of the World Destroyer Spirit King. The soul-suppressing of all generations has been done here.

The sound of the Soul-Suppressing Bell foreshadows an anomaly in the soul of the World-Destroying Spirit King, who was suppressed by the human race after the Earth Fire Burned the Heavens.

Outside the Soul-Suppressing Tower, many of the people were disciples and students of the Xuanhuo Sect who had been in front of the Spirit Fire Cave the previous night. At this moment, their brows were furrowed. The Xuan Pavilion had no doors or windows; one could only fly in through the hole in the center of the roof.

Last night, a strange thing happened at the Spirit Fire Cave. Even with the power of the Xuan King, Xiao Qingshuang was unable to enter. It was only through the joint efforts of Situ Jiuxiao, the Grand Elder, the Dharma Sect Elder, and the seven Inner Sect Elders that the gate of the Spirit Fire Cave was opened, and the unconscious Ye Yunjian was brought into the Xuan Pavilion to be calmed.

No one expected that just one night later, even the Xuan Pavilion would encounter an accident. No one knew what had happened inside, and no one dared to say how terrifying it would be if the Soul of the World-Destroying Spirit King were to awaken.

Moreover, the Xuan Pavilion has suppressed everything for three thousand years without any accidents, which makes everyone even more worried.

Xiao Qingshuang sensed something was wrong when she saw that Situ Jiuxiao had not yet come out. The seven inner sect elders were also inside, and if something happened to them, none of the people outside would be able to shoulder the responsibility.
