Embers of Sword

Chapter 630 Entering the game
"Standing in the sky?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chunyang shook his head.

The Sword Source River was suppressed by the Phoenix Fire Tide, and the Lotus Forbidden Land was almost merged with the Great Phoenix Cave Heaven. The figure of the woman hanging high in the sky, under the blessing of the Immortal Tree, became more and more like the blazing sun, making it even more impossible to look directly at her.

But at that very moment, from the edge of the world, a faint sound of sword energy tearing through the air suddenly rang out.

A snort.

As the golden sword light tore open the barrier of the Lotus Forbidden Land, a young figure in black appeared at the end of the Great Phoenix Cave.

"...Xie Xuanyi?"

The Empress Dowager immediately noticed something was amiss.

But she didn't make any move.

Countless phoenix flames gathered at the top of the sky, converging on Yuan Huang. With the blessing of the Immortal Tree, her aura surged like a tide.

Yuan Huang focused all her attention on the long river of sword source, only giving the young figure a cold glance before withdrawing her gaze.

She looked at Xie Xuanyi as if he were an ant.

This level of fighting.

Let alone a half-step Yang God, even someone at the eighth level of Yang God wouldn't be qualified to intervene.

"court death."

The Empress spoke coldly.

She spared a small portion of her energy.

Tap your fingers gently.

A wisp of phoenix fire, like a tidal wave, poured down from the sky and hurtled toward the ground!

……

……

"There is... another immortal tree in this world?"

After pushing open the barrier of the lotus forbidden area.

Xie Xuanyi witnessed the scene of "the three realms uniting as one": the Lotus Forbidden Land, the Great Phoenix Cave Heaven, and the Moon Hidden Realm. At this moment, the three cave heavens almost overlapped, the tides surged, lotuses bloomed, phoenix fire filled the sky, the immortal tree stood in the center of the world, and the Holy Empress stood on the top of the sky.

Within the Primordial Sacred Realm.

As Xuanming gazed at the holy radiance emanating from the immortal tree, he couldn't help but murmur his praise.

The immortal tree in the Holy Realm has withered.

Even with the nourishment of the "Fountain of Immortality," it still takes a long time for it to revive.

But the immortal tree before us has almost reached its "perfect state".

"Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. A thousand years have passed since the end of the great calamity..."

Xuanming sighed softly: "No matter how battered and broken this world was before, it should be restored to some extent."

The reason why the Immortal Tree is in such a state is entirely due to Yuan Huang's all-out effort in injecting the four most important dragon veins of the Great Chu Dynasty, as well as its immense fortune, into it.

"This demon queen...has reached the realm of celestial beings?"

Xie Xuanyi's expression was solemn.

The moment he stepped into the forbidden lotus land, he felt an intense sense of oppression.

This sky full of phoenix flames is far more powerful than the sacred shrine in the North Sea.

"A celestial being... I suppose so..."

Xuanming chuckled lightly, his laughter tinged with disdain.

Looking through the Holy Realm, the woman standing far above the heavens did indeed radiate endless brilliance, but this brilliance seemed too dazzling, all show and no substance.

To advance one's career by gathering the fortune of an entire dynasty.

This method can certainly allow someone to forcibly ascend to immortality—

But the path of spiritual practice must ultimately be taken step by step.

"In my opinion, your master is more deserving of the title 'celestial being' than that woman in heaven."

Divine thoughts swept over.

Xuanming saw the long river of sword source that was suppressed on the earth.

His smile faded, his expression became much more serious, and his tone of voice became more respectful.

Xuanming knew very well what the great calamity a thousand years ago had brought to this world... the vital energy was depleted, the Great Dao was shattered, and to be able to comprehend the power of the "Dao Source" under such circumstances was truly admirable! If it were a thousand years ago, Zhao Chunyang would undoubtedly have become one of the strongest experts in this world!

He might even be able to change the outcome of that great calamity a thousand years ago all by himself!

If judged by worldly standards, the Holy Empress at this moment is closer to being a "celestial being" than Zhao Chunyang, but in Xuanming's eyes, Zhao Chunyang is a true "celestial being".

As for Yuanhuang...

He was nothing more than a "thief of state".

Back then, his master Bai Ze could also achieve his final ascension to true immortality through this method.

But Bai Ze did not do that.

There are hundreds of thousands of living beings in the Yuan Tun Holy Realm.

Bai Ze fought against the great calamity with all his might, burning his life force, all to protect all living beings in the Holy Realm!
"Junior brother, no wonder... you tried to stop me when we were in the North Sea..."

Xuanming looked at the scene of the three realms being united before him and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

His laughter was tinged with both emotion and delight.

Chongkan is merely the eighth level of the Yang God realm.

In the world today, the eighth level of the Yang God realm is already an extraordinary realm... almost reaching the pinnacle, but compared to the Xuanming realm, this eighth level seems too insignificant.

If it were in the North Sea, it would have used up so many years of accumulated resources from the [Yuan Tun World], which is truly a pity.

"Senior brother, that's not what I meant..."

Xie Xuanyi was taken aback.

Previously in Beihai, he stopped Xuanming from making a move without thinking too much about it.

The situation was urgent at the time.

But Xie Xuanyi felt he could handle it.

"No need to say more."

Xuanming interrupted him, saying gently, "I prefer this place to where I would have made my move in the North Sea. Junior Brother... you should understand what I mean, right?"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi understood, of course.

Although he had only known Xuanming for a short time, he knew the truth in his heart.

This "senior brother" yearns to duel with the strong. For many years, he has been lying low in the Yuan Tun Sacred Realm, absorbing hundreds of Dao Realms through his Devouring Dao Divine Power. Every cultivator who wants to refine the Dao Stele must duel with Xuanming at the same level. Xuanming has constantly honed himself through a thousand years of arduous cultivation, but unfortunately, he still cannot withstand the passage of time.

Although they have welcomed the master of the Holy Realm's inheritance.

but……

This wisp of soul will eventually dissipate.

One of the greatest regrets for a cultivator is that when their lifespan comes to an end, they have not met a worthy opponent.

"I've been cooped up in the Holy Realm for so many years."

Xuanming smiled and said, "If I had a choice... I would certainly prefer to fight a Celestial Being. That eighth-level Yang God from before was really no match for him."

The words have not yet fallen.

A subtle wisp of fire spread throughout the sacred realm.

The thick fog that had shrouded the Yuan Tun Sacred Realm for a thousand years gradually shattered and dispersed under the scorching light of this flame.

Xuanming, the eldest disciple with his eyes bound in black satin, reached behind his head and slowly untied the thin ribbon—

Chi Chi Chi.

After the ribbon is untied.

Xie Xuanyi felt powerful auras continuously emanating from the Yuan Tun Sacred Realm!
Although he was the "Lord of the Holy Realm", he was still stunned by this powerful aura at this moment.

"Junior brother, relax your mind and do not resist my will."

Xuanming did not directly seize the body, but said softly, "Next... I will show you the fully developed Yuan Tun inheritance."

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath and relaxed his mind.

A booming sound came from the top of the sky.

Xie Xuanyi raised his head.

The raging tide of phoenix fire crashed down.

The Empress Dowager tapped her fingers.

A sliver of phoenix fire pierced through the heavens and earth, slashing towards him—

hum!
This wisp of phoenix fire was extremely fast!

But Xie Xuanyi reacted even faster, almost as if possessed, he grasped the ailment and slashed it from top to bottom.

The phoenix fire that surged down from the Empress's finger was instantly cut in two!
