"Die, demon!" Xuanyuan Tianyi gripped the sword that was stained with demon blood tightly and soared to a high place." Do you know how many demons I killed today with this sword?”
"Why would we, the masters of all demons, fear you alone?”Tiger King Yu Xiu transformed into his human form and laughed ferociously."You're still putting on an act when you're about to die. Today, this Five God Island will be your burial ground!”
Yu Xiu was right. Although Xuanyuan Tianyi had killed hundreds of enemies, he had already suffered a great loss.
His blood flowed down his arm, slowly flowing through the sword blade that was covered in demon blood, and dripped onto the ground.
He realized that he could no longer hold the One Heavenly Sword that had followed him for more than 600 years.
When the tiger appeared, the world shook!
The tiger's roar was so violent that it made him kneel down and slowly fall down!
The long sword emitted a bright light as it rose into the air and flew away on its own.
"Don't chase!" Tiger King Yu Xiu shouted and warned the demons," If you don't want to die, stay here obediently!”
Without the power to destroy the world, there was no way to stop the Heavenly Sword from returning to its birthplace.
Yu Xiu didn't have such power, and the little demons didn't either.
He just stood where he was and watched the sword light disappear.
Every immortal sword master had at least one weapon of their own, and this weapon was usually born in the Sword Nurturing Pool of the Immortal Sword Divine Realm.
Like most swordmasters who had passed the Immortal Sword certification, he chose to enter the Sword Birth Pool before leaving the Immortal Sword Divine Territory and was fated to obtain this sword.
The Sword World had different opinions about the origin of this sword.
It was generally accepted that the Heavenly Sword was forged by the ancestor of Tianmen Sea, who gathered the tears of the gods and plucked the copper from Shoushan. During the chaotic battle of the three worlds, it once defeated the three ancient evil blades. Its inner power was endless, and it was a divine weapon used to kill demons.
The One Heavenly Sword was also Di Sheng's sword.
This sword was once famous, but now it was nameless.
The previous sword master, Xuanyuan Tianyi, named the sword in a niche way.
Now, almost everyone knew that Di Sheng was the owner of this sword.
Unfortunately, no matter how powerful a swordmaster was, they were still humans. Humans could not live forever, and naturally, it was impossible for any swordmaster to have a sword forever.
Any weapon that was taken from the Sword Breeding Pool would return to its original location after its owner's body and soul were destroyed, and it would wait for its new owner in the Sword Breeding Pool.
This sounded like the inheritance of an original item or the handing over of a relic, but in fact, not every case was so simple.
Because for a period of time, the Heavenly Sword suddenly disappeared. No one saw it, and no one could get it again.
What exactly happened two hundred years ago?
Xuanyuan Tianyi was killed by Tiger King Yu Xiu, and his sword flew away!
Di Sheng stares at the sword in his hand, this scene often appearing in his mind.
9th day of the 9th month, the day of demon suppression.
The Demon Suppressors included Xuan Tian, Wine Immortal, Yuwen Taishan, Old Man Wuji, and Xuanyuan Tianyi.
The five of them came from three different sword departments, and they were all top swordmasters with excellent skills and reputation. It was only right for them to take up this important task.
The Sword Realm suppressed the demons while the Demon Realm saved them. Therefore, the two realms would definitely engage in a life-and-death battle in the place where the Demon Emperor's primordial spirit was imprisoned.
After that, the wind blew and the clouds scattered. The sky darkened and the earth darkened. Strange howls and howls could be heard endlessly. The degree of the tragedy was extremely difficult to describe.
Out of the thirty-three mystic sword masters from the Five Gods Island, only two survived. Di Sheng was one of them, and the other was Sui Tang.
The Jellyfish King, Xing La, appeared out of nowhere. This attack was very sudden and instantly killed five people!
He didn't expect that under such a beautiful appearance, there was actually a heart of hatred!
Di Sheng retreated to the side and kept licking his lips.
But didn't the water-kind not participate in the battle? The leader of the Water Tribe, Divine Turtle Fukong, had always been an old man who didn't like to meddle in other people's business. Moreover, he had some grudges with the Demon Emperor thousands of years ago.
In the entire Demon Realm, not all the demons were eager to save the Demon Emperor. However, with the prestige of the Demon Emperor and the three thousand years of rule over the Demon Realm, there should be very few who did not want to save him.
There was an elder who not only did not want to save him, but also hoped that he would be destroyed immediately and never appear again. This elder was the divine turtle Fukong.
However, the Water Tribe was so big that not everyone would listen to the old turtle, such as the Jellyfish King Xing La.
This seemingly shy demon had been thinking about how to get rid of the old turtle so that she could sit on the position of the king of the water race. Contrary to expectations, she and her followers were far from being able to compete with Fu Kong, but what if the Demon Emperor was added?
When she was in the mood to save the demon emperor, she seemed to see herself sitting on a throne inlaid with pearls and giving orders to billions of aquatic creatures. The old turtle also knelt on the ground obediently and nodded to her to admit his guilt.
But could she save the Demon Emperor?
Reality proved that she couldn't.
Not only was she unable to do so, but even the beast clan led by the lion, tiger, and leopard, as well as a small number of bird clan members led by the feathered demons, a total of 20,000 demonic beasts, were unable to fulfill their wishes in the end.
The Demon Realm did not succeed, and the Sword Realm paid a heavy price for it.
Wine God and Yuwen Taishan were both seriously injured. Two years later, the former drifted to another place and disappeared. Not long after the latter returned to the Bamboo Forest, he suddenly sat down and did not wake up. Until now, his soul had not returned to his body, and he looked like a living dead.
The seven giant claws pierced through his heart one after another. Xuanyuan Tianyi slowly fell to the ground amidst the sounds of fighting. He could no longer stand up. His primordial spirit instantly flew out of his body and disappeared.
He was dead. Not only was he dead, but his sword had also passed away. From then on, the whereabouts of the Heavenly Sword were unknown.
This was how things were in the world. Some people experienced a life-and-death danger together. The strongest might not survive, and the weakest might not die.
Although Old Man Wuji had suffered some injuries, they were not fatal. He had even lived for 160 years before dying of old age. Perhaps it was just as Di Sheng had said. If he had not had that extremely thrilling experience, which caused both his body and mind to be injured, it would not have been difficult for him to live for a thousand years.
Yes, most people in the Sword World were proud to live for a thousand years.
In the past, this extremely mediocre immortal sword master was exactly six hundred years old.
Fifteen years ago, a young woman gave birth to a boy for him. When the boy was five years old, he gave himself a very simple name, Di Sheng.
Xuan Tian was the least injured among the five of them. At the last moment, he went all out and killed Tiger King Yu Xiu with one sword strike. Then, he repelled the group of demons and quelled this once-in-a-lifetime chaos in the demon world.
As for Xuan Tian himself, he was also known as the Xuan Tian Swordmaster after this battle. However, he quickly issued a statement saying that he would not participate in the front line to suppress demons in his lifetime. At the same time, he hoped that other senior people would withdraw at the right time and leave more opportunities for the younger people.
Although the Rebellion of Ten Thousand Demons had subsided, the cause of this incident was still a mystery at that time.
The tiger and leopard kings had already died in battle. Only Leonis managed to escape.
Decades later, Dugu Nan appeared out of nowhere and captured him on the shore of the Bamboo Sea. Then, he asked him why he was causing trouble!
Leonis similarly only replied with four words. It was to repay the favor!
Dugu Nan didn't ask any more questions and killed him with a sword.
Some people complained about why Dugu Nan didn't get to the bottom of the matter before killing. However, if that was the case, he wouldn't be Dugu Nan anymore. His unique style of doing things probably began to be known from this time on.
Then, a more detailed explanation was gradually derived around these four words.
Lion, tiger, and leopard had all received the favor of the Demon Emperor in the early stages of cultivation. It was said that this favor was extremely great, as if they had been reborn.
When the true body of the Demon Emperor was destroyed, they had formulated a more detailed revenge plan. Unfortunately, their cultivation was still shallow and they could not implement it in the end.
It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
No one thought that they were gentlemen, but they were all aware of this. In order to ensure that their wish was fulfilled, they had actually waited for a thousand years!
At that time, they were already famous in the demon world, enough to call the wind and summon the rain!
On the 9th day of the 9th month, he led tens of thousands of demons to gather from Long Xiao Water Realm. He crossed the ocean and headed straight for Five Gods Island.
According to Old Man Wuji's later recollection," Other than the Lion, Tiger, and Leopard demons, the rest of the demons are not ordinary. Not only have you never seen or heard of some of them, but you can also guess what kind of demonic arts they have. It is precisely because of these immeasurable dangers that Xuanyuan Tianyi accidentally fell into their trap and was unable to save the situation."
Logically speaking, after Xuanyuan Tianyi was killed, the Heavenly Sword would automatically return to the Sword Birth Pool and wait for the next master to arrive.
Later, it was confirmed that there was no such sword in the Sword Nurturing Pool.
The whereabouts of this sword were widely discussed in the following decades.
Some said that it disappeared with Xuanyuan Tianyi's Primordial Spirit, while others said that it was devoured by the Primordial Spirit of the Demon Emperor. Some even said that it was stained with too much demon blood and was eventually corroded.
Fifteen years later, during a demon-subduing operation 185 years ago, a guess was finally proven correct.
Back then, the Heavenly Sword did not disappear into thin air. Instead, it was devoured by the Primordial Spirit of the Demon Emperor and was only forced to spit it out after many years.
A golden light flashed, and a sword shadow cut through the sky, flying straight to the northwest of Sky Gate Sea!
Without a doubt, Tian Yijian was returning to the Sword Birth Pool.
Di Sheng remembered clearly that the sword shadow had brushed past him. The strongest light had made him unable to open his eyes. He had wanted to grab it at that moment, but he had not been able to grab anything. In the end, he had been injured.
He was sure that his blood had stained the Heavenly Sword, so he hoped that one day, he would be able to obtain the Primordial Divine Artifact that had a 'blood' relationship with him.
It was unknown if it was a coincidence or fate.
In the end, he obtained this Primordial Divine Artifact through the Immortal Sword's authentication, even though the process was somewhat complicated.
However, after so many years, would the Heavenly Sword be tainted with evil?
It had to be said that this was indeed an unknown.
Di Sheng felt that since this sword was an ancient divine weapon, it must have experienced thousands of tribulations. He thought that it would be difficult for the Demon Emperor's Primordial Spirit to infect it in just a dozen years.
In fact, in the past hundred years, the One Heavenly Sword had not displayed any demonic nature. Instead, it had become more spiritual. In the hands of an extremely talented immortal sword master like Di Sheng, it was like adding wings to a tiger.
Tian Yijian was able to see the light of day again. This was something that the entire Sword World was excited about, but there was one person who could not be happy.
Then who was this person?
Name: Muchen
[Age: 234]
[Residence: Tianmen Sea]
[Family Members: Father, Xuanyuan Tianyi; Mother, Heavenly Chess Sage Nun]
[Sword Element: Heaven's Gate]
[Swordmaster Level: Celestial Sword]
He was the son of Xuanyuan Tianyi, so he was qualified to inherit his father's legacy, but he could not inherit the Heavenly Sword.
The Heavenly Sword did not belong to anyone, it only belonged to the Sword Birth Pool!
Without a doubt, everyone in the Sword World should know about this. This was naturally common knowledge.
In fact, his dilemma was largely not about this, but about Di Sheng.
He believed that Di Sheng had snatched away what he should have gotten back in the Sword Birth Pool.
Regarding this matter, the Sword Saint once explained,"Although this sword was born in the Sky Gate Sea, it is neither a family heirloom nor an island treasure. As the saying goes, those who are fated will obtain it, and those who are not fated will respect it. Moreover, what you obtained is also an ancient divine artifact. This is the item that is truly fated with you!”
Later, someone asked him,"Will you decide not to have any dealings with Di Sheng because you didn't get the One Heavenly Sword?"”
He smiled faintly and said," Of course not. We are still very good friends. I have to tell you that the Heavenly Sword is in my hands now. I have used this sword to kill countless demons. There is even a chance to use it to eliminate the Demon Emperor."
The Heavenly Sword, there was still the Heavenly Sword in the world!
The former One Heavenly Sword had now become Di Sheng's sword!
The sound of the waves was still the same, and the evening mist was heavy.
At this moment, he was standing under the setting sun. The sword in his hand reflected the afterglow. In an instant, this light seemed to be especially dazzling.
The sword itself seemed to be extremely heavy.
In the distance, where the demonic flames flashed, a vicious aura suddenly surged.
He focused for a moment and suddenly flew up, stabbing his sword towards the horizon.
