"They indeed are not dead, nor have they left."
"In that battle, we inflicted severe damage on the opposing side."
"However, we merely put them into slumber, without killing them completely."
"At the same time, they are guarding the vicinity of the Tree of Eternal Life, watching over the Tree of Doomsday."
"To prevent our cultivators from the Void Realm from destroying it."
"After all, as long as there is no way to destroy the Tree of Doomsday, our Void Realm cannot avoid the fate of destruction."
Daoist Yuanqing said helplessly.
They exhausted countless efforts, with cultivators from the entire world sacrificing themselves one after another, each falling on the battlefield, yet they still couldn’t achieve the final victory.
The result was merely mutual destruction with the opposing force.
No, it cannot even be called mutual destruction, only a mere delay of death.
"This."
Jiang Fan fell silent, knowing the enemy was formidable, but not expecting them to be this powerful.
Even those great powers from the Ancient Era couldn’t contend with them, which speaks of their terrifying power.
One careless move, and he could die at the hands of the enemy.
No wonder talking about the Immortal Race externally is prohibited.
As an Immortal, they surely have the power to see and hear from the heavens and the earth. Once the term is spoken, one would be under their scrutiny.
By then, it would be impossible to escape, no matter the height or depth.
"Senior, does the Human Emperor Sword really require the blood sacrifice of billions of living beings to be sharpened?"
Jiang Fan asked.
"Of course not."
"Previously, my memory was altered, making me say such things."
"The method to use the Human Emperor Sword is simple, as it requires the consumption of immense human Luck Points."
"You need to become the leader of a sect or even the leader of the Human Race to freely use this Immortal Sword."
"Therefore, only the Child of Destiny can wield the Human Emperor Sword."
"In the past, only the ancestor of Taixu Sect, Daoist Taixu, could use it without limitation."
"If we had been able to wield this Immortal Sword during the Ancient Era, the battle might have been different."
Daoist Yuanqing said helplessly.
Although this Immortal Sword holds immense power, if one is not the Child of Destiny, using it requires consuming one’s lifespan. Each use would result in the depletion of lifespan and eventual death.
Only the Child of Destiny can use this Immortal Sword without consumption.
Also, it cannot be taken out of the Void Realm, as it is an Immortal Artifact nurtured by the Heavenly Dao of the Void Realm, a powerful treasure safeguarding the endless Destiny of the Void Realm.
"So peculiar?!"
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes.
This is not an Immortal Artifact from the Immortal Realm but a treasure nurtured by the Void Realm itself.
Thus, it contains infinite power.
In the past, Daoist Taixu wielded the Human Emperor Sword, becoming unbeatable in the world, establishing the foundation of the Human Race, making the Taixu Sect the strongest sect in this realm, even causing True Spirits to bow.
If not for the Longevity Tribulation, the Taixu Sect might not have declined to this day.
"Yet this Immortal Sword seems to have been tampered with by the enemy."
Jiang Fan said gravely.
If he didn’t have a hint from fate, he might have used the Human Emperor Sword, slaughtered billions, and consequently been killed by the Black Blood Curse, leaving no remains.
It is evident that this Immortal Artifact was tampered with long ago by the enemy.
"That is the Black Blood Curse."
"It’s one of the terrifying curses mastered by the Immortal Race."
"This curse can merge into the blood, spreading like a plague."
"During the Ancient Era, our cultivators from the Void Realm were unaware, thus falling into the trap."
"Many great powers died because of it."
"However, if known in advance, the Black Blood Curse can be purified."
"And the Human Emperor Sword happens to possess the ability to purify the Black Blood Curse."
"Fortunately, young friend, you realized this beforehand, or you’d have truly fallen into the enemy’s trap."
Daoist Yuanqing said reflectively.
He never expected this junior cultivator before him to be so formidable, able to sense strange schemes in advance despite knowing nothing.
This is the capability of the Child of Destiny?!
Honestly, he knew that each generation of Child of Destiny had different talents.
The talent Daoist Taixu possessed was the Void Body, a natural Sword Immortal.
Because of this, he had the peerless cultivation talent from the start, crushing all enemies with absolute strength, becoming the Peerless Sword Immortal of that era, invincible.
But it is unknown what talent this generation’s Child of Destiny has.
Although very curious, he had no intention to inquire.
He understood the bizarre horrors.
Once spoken, they might be aware of it.
It might even result in memory theft by the opposing force.
Even knowing about it is extremely dangerous.
Such secrets should absolutely not be disclosed, known only to the Child of Destiny. That’s enough.
Only in this way, there’s hope to defeat the enemy.
"So that’s it."
Jiang Fan nodded.
Boom~~
At that moment, a message came from the depths of his sea of consciousness: "You’ve uncovered the enemy’s schemes, slain a strangeness, narrowly survived, and passed a life-and-death tribulation, gaining a First-Grade Opportunity and 5 million Luck Points."
Sensing this message, Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow, undoubtedly having finally survived the disaster, though he never expected to obtain 5 million Luck Points.
It shows how perilous this disaster was.
If not for foreseeing it, he might have died at the hands of strangeness long ago.
