Before Tan Yun's words could finish, the masked man suddenly interrupted.
“Tan Yun, you’ve grown quite bold,” the masked man said coldly, his voice carrying an icy tone.
Tan Yun’s expression turned serious, but he didn’t back down. “I’m just surprised to see you alive, Heartless Supreme. It seems you’ve escaped the eternal cycle of reincarnation.”
The masked man chuckled softly, the sound sending chills down one’s spine. “You should feel honored. Not everyone gets to see me again after I’ve transcended.”
Shen Subing, feeling the tense atmosphere, intervened, “What do you want from us?”
The masked man’s eyes glinted with malice. “I’m here for something that belongs to me. Hand over the primordial chaos god-slaying sword.”
Tan Yun narrowed his eyes, realizing the stakes were high. “You think you can just take it from us?”
“Believe me, Tan Yun, you don’t want to test my patience,” the masked man replied, his tone dripping with disdain.
Shen Subing stepped forward, determination in her eyes. “We won’t let you have it.”
Tan Yun felt a surge of power emanating from Shen Subing, which inspired him. “Together, Su Bing!”
With that, they stood side by side, ready to face the masked man, whose presence loomed ominously over them.
“I give you three breaths of time to tell me your background and how you know my name, otherwise, none of you will live!”
Facing the threat, Tan Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke earnestly, “Since you want to know, then fine, I will tell you now.”
“A long, long time ago, before I entered the eternal cycle of reincarnation, I had two sworn brothers.”
“One was Li Zhenghao, who was killed by the patriarch of the spirit clan.”
“The other was called Heartless, a well-known figure in the Chaos Divine Realm.”
“Many lifetimes ago, my third brother, Heartless Supreme, foolishly wanted to sneak attack the Supreme Chaos to avenge me, and then he went missing.”
“I searched for him with a remnant soul but found nothing, thinking he was dead, but unexpectedly, he was not!”
Upon hearing this, the originally murderous masked man was instantly filled with tears, his body trembling violently, and his voice shook even more, “You… you are my elder brother!”
“If it’s not me, then who else could it be?” Tan Yun laughed heartily. With a thought, the Primordial Chaos God-Slaying Sword and eleven other primordial chaos divine swords flew out of his mind, hovering above him.
Looking at the twelve divine swords, the masked man’s tears fell like rain, “I recognize them; that Primordial Chaos God-Slaying Sword is called Canggu!”
“And those eleven primordial chaos divine swords are called Golden Mercy, Muxin, Clear Shadow, Huo Wu, and Qian Chen…”
Before he could finish speaking, the masked man removed his veil, revealing a handsome and resolute face as he cried out, “Elder brother!!”
Heartless Supreme, with tears of excitement falling, opened his arms and flew towards Tan Yun!
Tan Yun soared forward, and the two brothers embraced silently!
The joy of their reunion radiated deep within Tan Yun’s heart, and without realizing it, his eyes had become moist.
“Elder brother, is it really you?” Heartless Supreme choked out.
“Third brother, of course, I am your elder brother!” Tan Yun smiled through his tears, “Great, you’re not dead!”
“Third brother, quickly tell me, what happened back then?”
After hearing this, Heartless Supreme let go of Tan Yun and, after a brief moment of recollection, said sternly, “Back then, upon learning that you were in danger, I charged into the Chaos Divine Realm and killed countless Chaos Titans.”
“Although I had the strength to challenge those above my level, I was still no match for the Supreme Chaos.”
“In the end, when I was gravely injured and barely escaped from the Chaos Divine Realm, my divine persona was destroyed, and I lost consciousness, falling to this place.”
