“Become the supreme master of the Heavenly Realm?”
Qin Chen was shocked. This Lord of the Wild Gods had such great ambitions. To sacrifice an entire clan, what kind of iron heart must one possess to do such a thing?
Clearly, he was a world-renowned tyrant.
“Indeed,” sighed the Eternal Sword Master. “Once he possesses the powers of the Demon Clan from Qiong Xian and my human clan's sword path bloodline, combined with the special secret techniques of his ancient clan, he will not only achieve the status of a Venerable but will also assimilate powers from all clans, becoming the most supreme master among the Venerables.”
“It was only after I and Qiong Xian activated the altar that we realized something was wrong and learned of his plot. In order to thwart his ambition, we joined forces to resist him, but we still could not stop him. Countless lives perished across the entire territory, but in the final moment, Qiong Xian and I sacrificed our own lives and activated the secret technique of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, which finally halted the Lord of the Wild Gods' possession. However, due to our counterattack, his life waned, and he ultimately failed, suffering the backlash of the Heavenly Realm’s rules and turning into a fossil.”
“However, we were still too late. The myriad spirits in this area had already been devoured by him, becoming nothingness. This region turned into a dead land, and the entire ancient clan lay silent, becoming soulless phantoms.”
Qin Chen's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Was this the origin of the Dead Spirit Domain?
The Dead Spirit Domain had stood in the Heavenly Realm since ancient times, with no one knowing its origins. It now seemed that it transformed into this desolate land of souls for this very reason.
“Then why did you call us here?”
Qin Chen asked again. The other party must have a purpose for summoning them.
“Because there is no time left,” the Eternal Sword Master said bitterly.
“No time?”
“For countless years, the lives of Qiong Xian and I have reached their end, leaving only the final remnant of will. Although we managed to thwart the Lord of the Wild Gods’ scheme back then, we did not kill him. Once the last trace of will from Qiong Xian and I fades away, no one will be able to restrain the Lord of the Wild Gods. By that time, he will revive from the ruins. Given his nature, he will surely devour all spirits to enhance himself and regain power. At that time, the Heavenly Realm will fall into disaster.”
“Moreover, Qiong Xian and I possess unparalleled skills but have no disciples. We do not wish to fade away silently. Although Qiong Xian and I cannot live together in love, we hope someone can inherit our mantle, redeem the sins of the past, uphold our will, and live bravely.”
The Eternal Sword Master's voice was filled with pain: “In my lifetime, I acted with righteousness, yet at the most crucial moment for humanity's survival, I failed to contribute my strength. I hate... I do not mind dying, but I cannot allow the Lord of the Wild Gods to be reborn and bring disaster to the Heavenly Realm.”
“Time is pressing, and there isn’t much time to explain. The reason I brought you here is that you are also a swordsman. Only by inheriting my sword path power can you and that girl possibly unite to resist the Lord of the Wild Gods’ devouring possession.”
“Next, we will conduct sword path training on you. You must not disappoint me.”
The Eternal Sword Master let out a sigh. As fellow swordsmen, Qin Chen felt that everything the other said was likely true.
Could it be that Si Si was receiving the inheritance of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox?
“Sword path training, huh?”
Qin Chen's gaze sharpened. Then let’s begin. He wanted to see just how terrifying the Eternal Sword Master’s inheritance was.
“Come!”
Qin Chen said solemnly.
“Kill!”
In the next moment, an invisible figure surged out from the body of the Eternal Sword Master.
