An irresistible and domineering figure stood atop the Demon-Sealing Tower.

Demonic energy swept across the heavens and earth, like the scythe of death sweeping across, and thousands upon thousands of demons and ghosts were reduced to ashes in an instant!

Even the demons not directly affected could sense the terrifying pressure contained within that demonic energy—like a whisper from the abyss, making their souls tremble!

For a time,

The originally restless and ferocious demons suddenly froze, as if they were encased in ice.

After a brief silence, some demons finally recognized the figure, and were instantly terrified, scattering in all directions with shrill screams.

"Paris polyphylla!!"

"He is the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm—Chonglou!"

A gasp ignited the fuse.

All the demons and ghosts who had been frozen in place instantly fell into extreme panic, fleeing in disarray with their heads in their hands.

Completely forgetting about revenge against Mount Shu, and not caring about indulging in verbal sparring.

Even the demons that had just escaped from the Demon Locking Tower dared not linger for a moment; as soon as they appeared, they immediately fled for their lives!

The name of Demon Lord Chonglou terrifies the Six Realms!

Even though some demons and ghosts have been imprisoned for many years, the name "Chonglou" still resonates deeply and is ingrained in people's bones!

That being was a level above them—the Lord of the Demon Realm!

These demons and ghosts are nothing but ants and dust before Chonglou, utterly vulnerable!

Witnessing this scene,

The people of Kyushu once again deeply understood what the Demon Realm was, and what the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm was—Chonglou!

That was an unparalleled being whose mere name could cause all demons to flee in terror!

However, while the crowd felt awe, they also couldn't hide their doubts:

Chonglou, as the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm and the strongest being at the peak of the Six Realms,

His visit to the mortal realm this time was not actually to seek out the divine general Fei Peng for a battle.

It will not unleash a catastrophe or disrupt the three realms.

Instead, he descended upon this land called Shu Mountain and personally destroyed the Demon-Locking Tower that suppressed countless demons and evil spirits.

Admittedly, the demons within the tower pose a world-ending calamity to mortals, and are unmatched.

But in Chonglou's eyes, these demons and ghosts were nothing more than insignificant insects.

He personally intervened, just to release a swarm of ants?

What's even more puzzling is that he neither subdued them nor enslaved them, but instead drove them all away.

Could it be that... Chonglou has some long-standing grudge against Mount Shu?

But this doesn't make sense.

With Chonglou's abilities, if there were any enmity, he could destroy Mount Shu as easily as turning his palm. Why go through all that trouble and just destroy his tower?

For a while,

All the people of the Nine Provinces were baffled by Chonglou's actions.

Just as everyone was speculating,

All I saw was—

Standing atop the tower, Chonglou's figure flashed, disappearing into the crack cleaved by the dark red blade light.

It then transformed into a streak of dark red light and sped away.

In the blink of an eye, we had reached the deepest part of the giant tower.

This place is deep and dilapidated, filled with a sinister atmosphere. Even though all the demons and ghosts have fled, the space is still filled with eeriness and oppression.

In the center of that vast ruin,

A longsword, its entire body gleaming purple and engraved with countless mysterious runes, stood silently, half-buried in the stone foundation of the tower, its blade protruding.

The moment the people of Kyushu saw the sword clearly, the fog in their hearts suddenly dissipated.

They finally understood—

Why would the mighty Demon Lord Chonglou personally come to this seemingly ordinary Mount Shu and destroy the tower in order to achieve this?

"So...it was for this sword!"

"This sword exudes an eerie aura, yet it does not display any sharpness, making it difficult to fathom its true power."

"For Chonglou to personally come and retrieve it, this sword must be extraordinary; its power is likely to reach the heavens!"

"I remember that Chonglou always used a knife, and I have never seen him wield a sword."

"Could it be that he intends to abandon the saber for the sword? Or is he preparing to challenge Fei Peng and delve into the art of swordsmanship?"

"Although this sword is evil, it has no intention of killing, which is truly strange."

"But if it were truly so ordinary, why would it warrant the personal presence of a supreme being from the pinnacle of the Six Realms?"

His gaze swept over the longsword that shimmered with purple light. Chonglou slowly stepped forward, and wisps of black and red demonic energy quietly rose from his right hand, coiling around his fingertips. Then, he clenched his fist and firmly grasped the hilt, pulling it out of its confinement.

After gazing at him for a long time, a rare smile appeared on his lips.

"Um……"

"This sword is indeed quite extraordinary."

"The spirit within the sword seems to have a deep connection with Fei Peng..."

"The demon-slaying sword that Fei Peng once possessed fell to the mortal realm; now, this demonic sword is enough to allow him to display his brilliance once more!"

As the supreme ruler of the demon realm,

Although Chonglou has always disdained power struggles and intrigues, he possesses extraordinary abilities, and there is nothing he cannot investigate if he desires to know it.

Since Fei Peng's defeat and fall, and his demotion to a mortal by the Heavenly Emperor, only 100,000 years have passed (a thousand years is too short to show its significance), and he has already found Fei Peng's only second reincarnation.

Furthermore, by following the slightest clues, they found this demon weapon, which, though not as powerful as the Demon-Suppressing Sword of the past, was still a peerless weapon!

Upon receiving the news, Chonglou could no longer contain himself. He immediately left the Demon Realm and went alone to the Demon Locking Tower of Mount Shu, just to retrieve the sword!

What is the purpose?

All I want is to take up my sword as quickly as possible, find Fei Peng, and end that unfinished battle that was interrupted in the heavens!

Just as Chonglou was examining the demonic sword,

Across the vast land of China, countless living beings were completely agitated by his whispered words!

Shocked!

Although it was only a few words, each one was like a thunderclap that shook the heavens and the earth!

"—Searching for the sword of General Fei Peng?! Demon Lord Chonglou has actually come personally for this?!"

"The sword of General Fei Peng has already fallen into the mortal realm? Does that mean the current timeline is after the earth-shattering battle between Fei Peng and the Demon Lord?"

"Oh my god!"

"This sword was actually taken by Fei Peng!"

"Could it be... that General Fei Peng didn't really die? He's still alive? Really still alive?"

"I knew it! Fei Peng wouldn't end so easily!"

"Hiss...Terrible!"

"This sword spirit actually senses something about Fei Peng?"

"Could this sword hold some secret, possessing an extraordinary origin?"

"Nonsense! For the Demon Lord Chonglou to personally come and retrieve the sword, it's obvious it's no ordinary matter!"

"If Fei Peng is not dead, then why does Ling Tian look exactly like Fei Peng? What is the explanation for this?"

"Furthermore, since Fei Peng is still alive, why is the image on the Heavenly Ranking frozen at the moment of his 'fall'?"

Shock.

The people of the Nine Provinces were greatly shaken by Chonglou's few words, and discussions arose like a tidal wave.

In fact, as early as when Chonglou appeared in Ling Tiansheng's painting of life,

Many people had a vague guess: Fei Peng might be living in this era.

but……

It's all just speculation after all!

now,

Chonglou's own words confirm that Feipeng is not dead!

That "fall" scene back then was not the end, but rather the final scene that obscured the truth!

But in this way,

Regarding Ling Tian—this being whose appearance is exactly the same as Fei Peng's, yet whose temperament is completely different, and who ranks first on the Nine Provinces Heavenly Ranking—

It's shrouded in mystery once again!

Fei Peng is not dead, but Ling Tian is a carbon copy of him!

If Ling Qi's temperament were slightly heroic, countless people in the Nine Provinces would have already believed that he was the reincarnation of Fei Peng.

Unfortunately, his words and actions make it difficult to compare him to that war god!

Puzzled, everyone's attention once again focused on the demonic sword in Chonglou's hand.

"Strange, why does this sword seem so familiar?"

"How could we not be familiar with each other!"

"This is a demonic sword forged by the immortal Longyang with all his heart and soul, and ultimately sacrificed by his sister Longkui!"

"The Demon Sword of the Immortal Longyang?"

"That can't be!"

"How could such a legendary weapon appear in Ling Tian's life story?"

"How did this get involved in the fated conflict between Fei Peng and the Demon Lord?"

"Yes, I remember clearly that the Demon Sword was completed after the death of Immortal Longyang."

"Could it be... that Long Yang's sword was already buried within Ling Tian's destiny?"
