Nine Realms Sword Emperor

The atmosphere among the crowd grew increasingly heavy with anticipation as they watched the combat arena.

It had been a full thirty years since the last time Sword Shattering Immortal made a move. How far his strength had advanced during these thirty years was beyond anyone's imagination.

"Heavenly Sword Limitless!"

Sword Shattering Immortal coldly uttered four words, and the Sword Edge in his hand suddenly moved, unleashing a flurry of phantoms.

It seemed as if a shadow rushed forward, wielding a Spirit Sword, slashing with the momentum of a Sword Shattering Heaven and Earth.

Some of the weaker martial artists couldn't even discern this shadow; only some Emperors could just barely see it.

This shadow was, in fact, Sword Shattering Immortal, while the one standing still was merely a lingering phantom.

As the body of Sword Shattering Immortal approached the blade's edge, his Sword Edge ascended skyward, piercing straight into the clouds.

What seemed like an ordinary strike pierced the sky above, splitting the blade edge of Yama Lord from the center.

Then this sword beam soared upwards a full ten thousand feet.

In one stroke, Yama Lord's blade edge was utterly shattered.

"I surrender!"

Upon witnessing this, Yama Lord hurriedly shouted, and a surge of Spiritual Power emerged from the ancient arena, halting their battle immediately.

Sword Shattering Immortal had won.

The outcome seemed to hold little suspense.

Most of the martial artists present had predicted Sword Shattering Immortal's victory, but the fact that he won with just one strike was indeed unexpected.

Yama Lord had already displayed astonishing strength, yet he couldn't withstand even a single move from Sword Shattering Immortal.

Sword Shattering Immortal's current power far surpassed what it had been thirty years ago, having undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

Yama Lord voluntarily admitting defeat was, in fact, the best choice. As a blade cultivator, once his blade edge was broken, there was practically no combat capability remaining.

Continuing to fight against Sword Shattering Immortal would have been nearing a certain death; by surrendering, he could at least save his life.

As Yama Lord stepped down, Demon Emperor said nothing, merely nodding slightly.

The power displayed by Sword Shattering Immortal was indeed not something Yama Lord could handle at present.

Sword Shattering Immortal's true adversary should be the Demon Emperor.

However, as Sword Shattering Immortal was stepping down, he deliberately glanced at Chu Fengmian, revealing a provocative look in his eyes.

It seemed Sword Shattering Immortal still harbored resentment over Chu Fengmian taking the Sword Dao Totem from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

He now hoped to draw Chu Fengmian in the arena and kill him there.

Seeing Sword Shattering Immortal's provocation, Chu Fengmian's expression remained as calm as ever.

While most martial artists were observing each battle in the arena, plotting their next opponent,

Chu Fengmian remained extremely composed.

Chu Fengmian's goal wasn't merely to enter the top ten; his target was the first place, the top spot in the Nine Domains Genius Battle.

Aside from first place, nothing else mattered to Chu Fengmian. To claim the number one position, he needed to defeat every strong opponent.

Rather than calculating and scheming, relying on his own strength alone was enough; if the strength was sufficient, no amount of scheming would have any meaning.

Chu Fengmian sat down, slowly taking out the Sword Dao Totem he had just obtained from the Demon Emperor.

Even under the Demon Emperor's cold gaze, Chu Fengmian calmly closed his eyes and began to comprehend the Sword Dao Totem with his Spiritual Sense.

His entire Spiritual Sense was deeply immersed in it.

"Good, this boy couldn't resist comprehending the Sword Dao Totem. Looks like he genuinely intends to compete for the championship, hence his eagerness to increase his strength..."

The Demon Emperor, seeing Chu Fengmian starting to comprehend the Sword Dao Totem, revealed a sinister look in his eyes.

Since Chu Fengmian chose to comprehend it, he hadn't noticed the hidden magic blood within the Sword Dao Totem.

At this moment, injecting magic blood into Chu Fengmian's body so that when he faces Chu Fengmian, the magic blood will unleash its heaven-shocking powers, enough to reverse the situation.

Silently, the Demon Emperor already stealthily controlled the magic blood within the Sword Dao Totem, slowly infiltrating Chu Fengmian's body.

As Chu Fengmian sat there, the Demon Emperor's actions were all seen by him; Chu Fengmian feigning comprehension of the Sword Dao Totem was merely a guise.

In truth, he was waiting for the moment when the Demon Emperor began transferring the magic blood from the Sword Dao Totem into Chu Fengmian.

This drop of magic blood gradually transferred from the Sword Dao Totem into Chu Fengmian's body, intending to directly integrate into his Divine Veins.

But suddenly, a surge of Spiritual Power emerged, enveloping the magic blood completely.

Power of Creation.

This wasn't ordinary magic blood but rather specially refined Infernal Magic Blood, reputed to be insolvable by anything.

Yet before the Power of Creation, there was nothing that couldn't manifest. The Infernal Magic Blood was no exception, completely enveloped by the Power of Creation, then integrated into the Spirit Vein.

Now, having eradicated the magic blood, the Demon Emperor would surely know, but Chu Fengmian didn't intend to alert him just yet, preparing to give the Demon Emperor a surprise.

The Power of Creation completely surrounded the magic blood, integrating into the Spirit Vein.

The Demon Emperor could only perceive that the magic blood seemed to have entered Chu Fengmian's Spirit Vein, believing once under his control, the magic blood's eruption would thoroughly seize Chu Fengmian.

Having accomplished this, the Demon Emperor displayed a sinister smile.

Having already killed two lords of the Six Paths Demon Sect, how could the Demon Emperor let Chu Fengmian go?

But the Demon Emperor couldn't have predicted that should Chu Fengmian wish, the Power of Creation could entirely obliterate the magic blood.

The magic blood was purged.

There was no longer any danger within the Sword Dao Totem.

Only now did Chu Fengmian truly begin to activate his Spiritual Sense, comprehending the Sword Dao Totem.

This Sword Dao Totem contained a tenfold increase in sword techniques compared to the previous Sword Dao Totem.

Attempting to comprehend them became even more esoteric and difficult. Normally, Chu Fengmian would require immense effort to comprehend them.

However, having previously comprehended that unknown sword technique, Chu Fengmian had seemingly, without realizing, elevated his understanding of swordsmanship to a new realm.

The obscure sword techniques were almost effortlessly penetrated by Chu Fengmian, and within a mere hour, he had grasped the majority of the sword techniques within the Sword Dao Totem.

Now, with repeated practice, they could seamlessly integrate into the Nine Domains Sword Technique.

The speed was astonishing, even beyond Chu Fengmian's imagination.

Chu Fengmian understood that this transformation stemmed from his comprehension of that unknown sword technique.
