Chapter 498 The Destiny of the Twin Swords of Heavenly Annihilation

in the room.

Ying Xun blew the ink dry, and a brand new scroll of alarming lists was produced.

He intends to use this list of alarming events to stir up a new wave of turmoil in the martial arts world; otherwise, the great calamity that is being pushed forward by the Sword Realm, as well as by figures like Xiao Aoshi and Xiao Jingtian, will have to wait a very long time.

Ying Xun didn't have the patience to wait.

You Ruo's gaze swept across the list of alarmed figures again, finally landing on the Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns. A hint of worry appeared between her brows, and she breathed softly, "Husband, is there really a Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns in this world?"

"Yes, there is indeed a great calamity." Ying Xun nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "The start of the next minor calamity is not far away, but don't worry, I will take action to resolve this minor calamity."

As for the subsequent minor tribulations, our Central Plains are not lacking in capable people. Although the calamity energy will gradually accumulate and eventually erupt into a true great calamity, the time for that great calamity to erupt is still thousands of years away from us... By then, I'm afraid we will all have long since turned into a handful of dust.

The "minor tribulation" he referred to was naturally the plan of the brothers Xiao Jingtian and Xiao Aoshi, who used the Xuanhua Ship and the Hidden Flow Sword as leverage to ultimately destroy the Central Plains.

As for the great calamity, it will be a thousand years from now, in 2047 AD, an unparalleled heavenly calamity.

In 2047, a meteorite swarm will strike Earth. Even though the demigod destroyed most of the meteorite swarm and saved Earth, the remaining meteorites will still nearly wipe out humanity, leaving only a few thousand people.

That would be the true catastrophe of all time.

Also known as the Cataclysm of Annihilation!
"Is there no way to resolve this great calamity?" You Ruo asked.

“No.” Ying Xun shook his head and sighed, “This great calamity is actually caused by people’s various desires. As long as people’s evil nature remains, the calamity will continue to accumulate, triggering one small calamity after another, and eventually the great calamity will erupt. And people’s evil nature cannot be eliminated.”

You Ruo nodded in a daze, then turned her gaze to the final look of terror—the Great Sun Tathagata.

She knew that this Vairocana Buddha was the foremost of the five Buddhas in Buddhism, capable of guiding all sentient beings and possessing supreme wisdom.

In Buddhism, Vairocana Buddha is the core of everything, the root and basis of all existence.

Furthermore, Ying Xunshi's description of it is that it is ancient, mysterious, and powerful, an unimaginable existence.

Could it be that... Vairocana Buddha is really the Vairocana Buddha from mythology?
You Ruo turned her head and looked at Ying Xun.

Ying Xun noticed her confusion, but simply smiled and shook his head.

In a sense, Vairocana Buddha is a god, a Buddha, a demon, and something ineffable...

If there truly is such a being who has looked down upon the long river of history from ancient times to the present, even that old fellow Xiao Sanxiao would be far inferior. With his current cultivation level, if he encountered such a being, he probably wouldn't be able to resist either. The only thing he could do would probably be... to run away.

Even the moment the thought of "escaping" arises, the other party might be able to kill him a thousand times over.

Thinking of these things, Ying Xun couldn't help but feel a little heavy-hearted.

You Ruo is no longer an innocent girl. With her sharp mind, she doesn't pry into everything.

She saw Ying Xun's worries and knew how to dispel them.

She scooped up a spoonful of bird's nest soup with a small spoon, exhaled a fragrant breath, blew away the heat, and put it into her mouth. Then she wrapped her arms around Ying Xun's neck and pressed her lips to Ying Xun's.

Ying Xun gently stroked her hair, then picked her up and carried her to the bedside.

In fact, for him, whether or not the Great Sun Tathagata exists in this world is another matter, and there is no need to worry too much.

Moreover, no matter how worried he was, there was no way to solve the problem immediately. All he could do was continuously improve his cultivation and... enjoy life to the fullest.

Before long, sounds that made people blush could be heard in the room.

……

Not long after the battle at Baijian Manor ended, another storm swept through the martial arts world.

This storm is still closely related to Ying Xun, or rather, it was he who started it.

The first thing to happen was the re-release of the list of the ten most alarming events.

This matter can be described as both unexpected and expected.

Surprisingly, there was absolutely no news about it.

As expected, the fact that some of the items in the previous version of the list of alarms, such as the Four Great Stones and the Lord of the Heavenly Gate, Indra, no longer exist, necessitates the addition of new alarms.

Because the previous version of the list of the most alarming things had indeed caused both alarm and fear among people in the martial arts world, the new list of the top ten most alarming things has attracted much attention as soon as it was released, causing a great shock in the martial arts world.

Although this list of alarming events only includes ten major alarming events, each one is enough to shock people's hearts. In particular, the Great Calamity of a Thousand Years is so chilling that it makes people gasp and feel as if a huge rock is pressing on their hearts, making it hard to breathe.

As for the final Great Sun Tathagata, the shock he caused among the martial arts world was no less than that of the Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns, and it also sparked much discussion among martial arts practitioners.

After all, Mahavairocana Buddha is the grand finale, a being that even the most fearful of those who compiled the list of fears found unimaginable.

In short, among the new top ten terrors, the most discussed are the Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns and the Great Sun Tathagata.

The second thing that shocked the martial arts world was Wu Wudi's challenge to Ying Xun at Tianshan.

After the news broke, no one believed that Wu Wudi could defeat Ying Xun.

Firstly, there were reliable sources a few years ago that Wu Wudi had been defeated by Ying Xun.

Secondly, Wu Wudi defeated Di Shitian back then, while Ying Xun killed Di Shitian, who had transformed into a phoenix, in the battle at Baijian Villa not long ago.

The difference between the two is immediately apparent.

Therefore, in everyone's eyes, although Wu Wudi, one of the top ten martial artists, was strong, he was definitely no match for Ying Xun, making it a duel with no suspense.

Even so, many martial arts practitioners still flocked to Tianshan.

Putting everything else aside, just being able to witness their panicked and bewildered demeanor makes the journey worthwhile.

Not to mention, Wu Wudi is no weakling either, having once defeated Di Shitian. In other words, a battle between the two would definitely be more exciting than the battle at Baijian Manor, naturally enough to attract martial arts enthusiasts to Tianshan.

While the martial arts world was heading to Tianshan, Ying Xun and his group also set off for Tianshan.

However, they did not go directly to Tianshan, but instead went to Muming Town first.

A light autumn rain shrouded the town of Muming.

One autumn rain brings a chill, and a slightly biting cold spreads unchecked throughout the town.

An unnamed man dressed in a simple blue robe stepped into the Zhonghua Pavilion, holding an umbrella. His heart was colder and more frigid than the autumn rain.

"A great calamity...a great calamity..."

Wuming frowned slightly, muttering the words "Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns" over and over again, an indescribable sorrow lingering in his heart.

Clearly, he also saw the newly released list of alarms and the impending catastrophe on it.

Now, Nameless knows the connection between the Great Calamity of a Thousand Years and the Hero's Sword.

The Great Swordsman forged the Hero Sword to resist the Great Calamity of the Ages. In other words, as the owner of the Hero Sword, he naturally bears the responsibility of resisting the Great Calamity of the Ages.

Looking back now, the formidable enemies Ying Xun told him about were probably the Xiao Jingtian and Xiao Aoshi brothers, who were dedicated to orchestrating the Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns.

But just how advanced were these two brothers' cultivation levels that Ying Xun had to be so prepared, even spending several years forging the divine weapon Nine Heavens to deal with them?

Of course, it could also be used to deal with the Great Sun Tathagata.

What kind of terrifying existence could make even Ying Xun feel that it was powerful and unimaginable?!

With a mix of complex emotions, Wuming walked through the front hall of the Zhonghua Pavilion and into its backyard, where he saw a desolate figure with an air of imperial grandeur.

The nameless man, who was usually inscrutable, immediately showed a look of surprise and delight when he saw that figure's back.

"Big brother!"

Back then, the Monk Emperor said that the Sword Saint would find someone in Mu Family Village who could defeat him, so the Sword Saint went to Mu Family Village to look for him, and then he met Mu Long and his wife.

Coincidentally, Madam Mu was pregnant at the time. The Sword Saint sensed that Madam Mu's unborn child possessed a royal sword aura, and thus believed that the unborn Mu Yingxiong was the person prophesied by the Monk Emperor.

Therefore, the Sword Saint challenged Mu Yingxiong's father, Mu Long, to a duel nineteen years later.

To protect Mu Yingxiong, the Mu family bought Wei Yingxiong, a poor boy born on the same day, month, and hour as him, as a substitute. However, Wei Yingxiong was born with the fate of "a cursed lone star," and everyone around him was cursed. Only Mu Yingxiong never avoided it. Although the two were not related by blood, they were true brothers.

Therefore, Wuming and his elder brother Mu Yingxiong had a very deep relationship.

Unfortunately, Mu Yingxiong, in an effort to rouse the spirits of the dejected Wuming, staged a battle where he pretended to betray his country, and the two never saw each other again. Now that they were suddenly reunited, how could Wuming not be overjoyed and excited?

Before Wuming could recount his four-year-long relationship, Mu Yingxiong, with his hands behind his back, suddenly unleashed an overwhelming and domineering sword intent.

At the same time, he seemed to transform into a divine sword that reached the heavens and destroyed the earth, and the surrounding rain was stirred up and scattered.

His tone was as cold as a sword: "Brother Ming, you should know why I've come."

Wuming nodded and said with a wry smile, "I know, but I don't understand why you insist on fighting me, brother?"

"If you don't understand, I can tell you, but before that, I want to see if your cultivation has regressed." Mu Yingxiong's sword energy surged, carrying with it the rain, transforming into a water sword, which he thrust straight at Wuming.

This water sword may appear delicate, but it is filled with an aura of domineering arrogance, as if it can break through anything in the world.

"Since you want to see, I will certainly not hold back my skills."

The unique aura of the Heavenly Sword belonging to Wuming suddenly erupted, and a rain sword shot out.

boom!
The two rain swords collided with a muffled thud, then shattered completely, sending water droplets shooting in all directions.

The water droplets contained the sword intent and sword energy of him and Mu Yingxiong. Even though most of it was consumed in the collision, its power was by no means inferior to that of a strong bow and crossbow. And there were quite a few guests in the Zhonghua Pavilion.

"not good!"

Wuming muttered to himself, then hurriedly activated his sword technique, using the profound mystery of the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin to instantly freeze all the water droplets, which then fell to the ground with a patter.

Mu Yingxiong did not take the opportunity to attack, but instead breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard that you were seriously injured in the duel with the Fearful One at Baijian Manor. Now, seeing your swordsmanship flowing freely and your Heavenly Sword cultivation unharmed and even improved, it seems that you have turned misfortune into blessing."

"Thank you for your concern, brother. I have indeed made some progress." Seeing that his brother still cared about him, Wuming felt a surge of warmth in his heart: "Brother, now that we have tried our moves, could you tell me why we fought?"

"Destiny!"

After a moment's hesitation, Mu Yingxiong coldly uttered two words, then explained, "The Great Swordsman once said, 'A Hero's Sword.' You and I are both masters of the Hero's Sword, and a battle between us is inevitable."

In the past, the great swordsman learned from the "Tui Bei Tu" that a great calamity was about to befall China, so he forged the Hero Sword for future generations and infused it with the profound mysteries of a mysterious sword technique.

Moreover, to prevent the Hero Sword from waiting in vain, the Great Swordsman forged two swords, each weighing one pound, seven ounces, and three mace. Although the swords were light, their cores were incredibly heavy.

These two hero swords were obtained by Wuming and Mu Yingxiong.

However, the great swordsman once asserted that only one hero's sword could exist in the world. Therefore, those who obtain the sword are bound by fate, and only one sword master can live.

“Brother, I have been tormented by fate since I was a child. Everyone sees me as a jinx. Only my mother, my brother, and Xiaoyu are willing to be close to me. It was you, brother, who told me that fate is in our own hands. Have you forgotten that, brother?”

Mu Yingxiong shook his head: "I haven't forgotten. As long as we use swords, we can't escape the prophecy and destiny left by the Great Swordsman. But I've never believed in this so-called destiny."

"Then why?"

"Back then, I didn't hesitate to suffer a defeat to help you reach the Heavenly Sword Realm. Over the years, I've always felt resentful, and that resentment is like a venomous snake gnawing at my heart, growing stronger day by day. So I hope that you and I can fight each other with all our might."

In some ways, Mu Yingxiong is actually similar to the former Sword Saint, except that he is not as obsessed with fame and fortune as the Sword Saint.

Upon hearing the real reason, Wuming felt a pang of sadness. He stared at the broken Hero Sword in Mu Yingxiong's hand for a long while before nodding: "Alright, I understand."

He is the Heavenly Sword, while Mu Yingxiong is the Imperial Sword and the Supreme Sword, both equally proud and noble.

Back then, Mu Yingxiong was willing to suffer a defeat to help him achieve his goal, even to the point of breaking his heroic sword.

Over the years, Wuming has also suffered greatly from the torment of the First World War.

"Those who know me say I am worried, those who do not know me ask what I seek. From childhood to adulthood, you and I have always been the people who understand each other best. Since you already understand, then take my sword."

Mu Yingxiong pointed his fingers together to form a sword, then extended the sword finger, suddenly unleashing a sword aura that was stronger, more arrogant, and more decisive than the previous water sword.

Wuming was injured in the battle with Ying Xun at Baijian Villa, but this also made his swordsmanship even better. In addition, after the battle between humans and phoenixes, Ying Xun also poured some of the true energy stored in the blood crystal into his body. So Wuming is not a broken sword now, but the best state he has ever been in.

Faced with Mu Yingxiong's sword energy, Wuming made no move. He simply emitted a strange fluctuation from his body, which dissipated the incoming sword energy into nothingness.

This is actually a move from the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" technique.

The "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" style can actually be divided into external and internal styles.

External martial arts, namely swordsmanship, are derived from the original martial arts, and their origins are ancient and profound.

Once the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One technique is unleashed, the swords appear as servants before their master, as if worshipping a deity. With each sword strike, an incomparably sharp sword aura arises from the body, and the figure can transform into a wisp of green smoke. The sword aura spreads in all directions, causing countless sharp swords to fly like a storm, dancing across the sky. The sword momentum is like a net, extremely sharp, and a magnificent sight.

The internal school, however, is divided into two categories: the spontaneous generation of myriad energies and the sword rushing into abandoned acupoints.

The "Myriad Qi Spawns by Their Own" is a gradual internal energy cultivation method. Although practitioners must first abandon their martial arts skills, a sword energy can spontaneously generate within their bodies to aid in sword control, spiritual cultivation, healing, and protecting their heart meridian.

The sword strikes the abandoned acupoints, requiring the absorption of external power to open up one's own abandoned acupoints. This is specifically used to defeat enemies and protect oneself in times of crisis. The absorbed internal energy can also be used to heal injuries. Once the absorbed internal energy has been used, any remaining energy must be expelled immediately, otherwise the residual external internal energy will definitely harm the body.

Now, Wuming is using the principle of "all energies arise spontaneously".

Because of his improved swordsmanship, the original Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One sword energy generated within his body not only had its original effects, but also possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities.

Its effect is no less than the protective aura activated by the six great demonic crossings.

However, what it manifested was not an aura shield, but a ripple of sword energy.
