Qin Chen was speechless. It turned out that his mother knew the mysterious rusty sword in his hand was extraordinary even when she was in the Great Qi kingdom. However, she had concealed it so deeply back then that even he couldn't see through it.
With this thought, many doubts suddenly arose in Qin Chen's heart.
Qin Yuechi said, “It's fine to tell you. This sword contains the seal of an ancient sword master. In ancient times, he had a name that shook this universe—Sword Demon!”
“Sword Demon?” Qin Chen murmured.
Qin Yuechi continued, “This person was once a top-tier sword master in this universe, challenging all sword masters and sword practitioners among the myriad races, with no one able to rival him, except for the Sword Ancestor from the ancient Tongtian Sword Pavilion, who tied with him.”
“However, because he was too obsessed with the sword, he took a wrong path.”
Qin Chen frowned, “Wrong path?”
“The final outcome was that he went mad. In order to enhance his swordsmanship, he crazily killed the strong ones from the myriad races, causing a massacre across the universe, to the point where all the races wished to eliminate him,” Qin Yuechi explained.
Qin Chen was shocked.
Was he really that insane?
He killed so many that the myriad races wanted him dead.
“Later, he was not satisfied with just killing the strong ones from the myriad races; he wanted to challenge the heavenly laws of the universe, to confront the highest rules of the universe,” Qin Yuechi added.
“Challenge the highest rules of the universe?” Qin Chen was stunned. Could the highest rules of the universe really be challenged?
As if sensing Qin Chen's doubts, Qin Yuechi explained, “The highest rules of the universe can indeed be challenged. You should know that beyond the supreme realm, there is still a level known as Transcendence…”
“I have only heard a little about it.”
Qin Chen's heart skipped a beat. Was there really such a realm?
He had only heard the Sword Ancestor mention it once while in the Sword Burial Abyss.
In the Chaotic World, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon and others no longer debated. They perked up their ears, listening closely. It seemed they had heard something remarkable, their eyes shining.
With their knowledge, how could they not know about the Transcendence realm? However, reaching this realm was extremely difficult even in ancient times. It was nearly the goal of all ancient beings.
It was rumored that if one achieved Transcendence, they could truly transcend the universe, free from any constraints, even from the highest rules.
This was something every being in the universe wished to achieve but could not. Even the Primordial Ancestral Dragon and Blood River Saint Ancestor had only vaguely touched upon this realm in ancient times, still far from true transcendence; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been trapped in the Divine Master of All Creation.
The Transcendence realm was not bound by the rules of the universe.
Qin Yuechi continued, “You should know that the venerable realm can transcend the heavenly laws of the universe, but transcending heavenly laws only means surpassing some ordinary cosmic rules. Yet you still have to be subjected to the suppression of the highest rules of the universe. What the Sword Demon wanted to do was challenge the highest rules of the universe and slay the fundamental source of the universe.”
Qin Chen was speechless. Slaying the fundamental source of the universe? Truly a madman—no wonder he was called the Sword Demon.
“And then what happened?” Qin Chen asked.
“Then he was suppressed by your father,” Qin Yuechi replied.
Qin Chen: “…”
Primordial Ancestral Dragon: “…”
Blood River Saint Ancestor: “…”
The lord of abyssal demons blinked in disbelief. Was he really just a “dung ball”?
Qin Yuechi warned, “I know you've always wanted to control this sword, but what this sword has done in the past was extremely damaging to the heavens. Unless absolutely necessary, do not provoke the soul within. If the highest rules of the universe sense his existence, they will reject him.”
