Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 276 Then Go Die Now
The Sword Emperor's voice seemed to contain immense force, striking Hun Miesheng's heart with tremendous force, instantly chilling his previously excited emotions.

"me……"

Hun Miesheng opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Sword Emperor! I know I was wrong!"

In desperation, Hun Miesheng suddenly lay down on the ground, his forehead pressed tightly against the cold ground, tears uncontrollably streaming from his eyes!
He waited bitterly for years, repenting before the stone statue every day, and finally received a response from the Sword Emperor. He could not afford to miss this great opportunity!
"I shouldn't have offended your dignity!"

For years I've stood guard here day and night, slaying all those who dared to offend the ruins, all to atone for my past mistakes! Please, give me another chance!

As Hun Miesheng finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the tomb chamber, with only the crackling sound of the lamp burning in the niche standing out clearly in the empty space.

The Sword Emperor statue remained silent, as if weighing whether to forgive him.

Soul Extinction lay prostrate on the ground, his heart pounding wildly, almost bursting out of his chest. Whether he could get out depended on the Sword Emperor's decision!

"Indeed, you have done a good job protecting this place over the years."

After a long while, the Sword Emperor's majestic voice finally rang out again, his tone slightly softened.

Soul Extinction's expression brightened with joy, and he said, "This is what I should do!"

"Ah."

The Sword Emperor statue gave a faint reply, then abruptly changed its tone: "Do you know why I have only manifested now?"

After a moment's thought, Hun Miesheng cautiously asked, "Are you testing me?"

The Sword Emperor statue sneered: "A test? If the continent were not about to face a great upheaval, I would make you kneel until the heavens and earth crumble!"

Hun Miesheng was startled and quickly kowtowed twice: "Sword Emperor, I know I was wrong!"

"I don't blame you, get up."

Hun Miesheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stood up from the ground, still maintaining his bowed posture, not daring to relax in the slightest.

He then recalled what the Sword Emperor had said about the changes on the continent and couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, Your Majesty the Sword Emperor, what changes have occurred on the continent that have made you so concerned?"

The Sword Emperor statue remained silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh, its voice heavy with emotion: "Another dragon-phoenix is ​​about to be born."

"Dragon and Phoenix!"

Soul Extinction's expression immediately froze.

The body of a dragon and a phoenix can only be born from the powerful members of the Ancient Dragon Clan or the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Clan who devour the legendary Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit, and its power is enough to shake the heavens and the earth.

What alarmed him even more was that the stone tablet clearly recorded that the Sword Emperor's nemesis was a Dou Di with a dragon-phoenix body!

Could it be that the birth of a new dragon and phoenix will repeat the mistakes of 100,000 years ago, bringing new disasters to the continent?
Soul Extinction was filled with shock, but dared not ask any more questions and could only wait quietly for the Sword Emperor's next words.

The Sword Emperor statue said in a low voice, "Back then, although the Dragon Phoenix Fighting Emperor was no match for me and was defeated by me in several battles, his desire to destroy the human race never died."

As he ascended to the upper realm, he indulged in sexual activity day and night, fathering a son and entrusting his desire to exterminate his clan to his descendants.

Now that this child has been resurrected in this world and has obtained the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit, he is about to wreak havoc on the continent once again!
When I built this Sword Emperor Ruins, laid out the legacy, and selected a suitable successor, it was all to prevent the next Dragon-Phoenix from being born in advance and to protect the human race.

It's just a pity... no matter how much I planned, things still turned out this way.

"So that's it!"

Hun Miesheng suddenly realized, slapped his thigh, and then said with a face full of indignation, "Your successor is too useless!"
He carries your legacy, yet he can't even stop the Dragon-Phoenix Child. It's a complete waste of your efforts!

"If I were given this inheritance, I would fight with all my might to capture that Dragon-Phoenix Child and tear him to pieces, ensuring he never has the chance to harm the continent!"

Hun Miesheng became more and more agitated as he spoke, his words filled with condemnation, yet he was completely unaware that a hint of coldness had quietly flashed across the golden eyes of the Sword Emperor statue.

"Alright, I've told you all this so that you can understand the current situation on the mainland."

Your sins are not yet atoned, but today I will release you.

"Really? Thank you, Sword Emperor!" Soul Extinction was overjoyed and kowtowed several more times.

"Ah."

The Sword Emperor statue said indifferently, "You are a saint of your own right. Instead of guarding my tomb here, you should go out and do your part for the human race. That would be a way to make amends for your past mistakes."

"The Sword Emperor possesses a magnanimous heart, far surpassing mine!"

A hint of relief flashed in Hun Miesheng's eyes. At this moment, he was even a little grateful to the Dragon-Phoenix Child he had never met before.

If the other party hadn't stirred up trouble on the continent, the Sword Emperor might not have released him for who knows how long.

"Sword Emperor, shall I leave now?"

The soul's destruction and life's birth are a test of words.

The Sword Emperor statue said calmly, "Wait."

Soul Extinction immediately dared not move.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—!"

Just then, a dazzling light suddenly shone in the tomb chamber, and the bright light made Hun Miesheng subconsciously squint his eyes.

The rosy light illuminated the entire space in a white glow, and after a long while, it slowly dissipated. Then, a crystal-clear object, shaped like a token, floated in front of Hun Miesheng.

The token's surface shimmered with a faint, eerie light, and one could vaguely see the intricate patterns interwoven within, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.

"This is?"

Hun Miesheng asked in confusion, unable to resist moving forward to get a better look at the object.

"This object is called the Soul-Guiding Jade. I will imbue it into your soul, and from then on, your actions and deeds will be under my control."

If you go forth and fail to bring blessings to humanity, but instead harbor evil intentions and wreak havoc, the Soul-Guiding Jade will activate itself, instantly annihilating you.

Soul Extinction's body stiffened. He understood that this thing was a means for the Sword Emperor to monitor him and even control his life!
"Sword Emperor, is it possible to not use this?"

Hun Miesheng swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.

"Then you can die here now."

The Sword Emperor statue spoke in an icy tone.

Hun Miesheng sighed, realizing that he couldn't escape it after all.

Rather than spending his life in these ruins forever, he would rather go out, even if his life was controlled by the Sword Emperor.

"Sword Emperor, please come."

Hun Miesheng closed his eyes, having resigned himself to his fate.

"Ah."

The radiant light surrounding the Sword Emperor statue shone brightly once more, and the suspended Soul-Guiding Jade also emitted faint glows.

The eerie light exuded a strange aura, making Hun Miesheng feel inexplicably terrified, as if some danger was about to befall him.

"Open your mind and do not resist."

The Sword Emperor's voice rang out once again.

Hun Miesheng dared not hesitate and immediately did as instructed, letting go of all defenses on his soul and allowing that unfamiliar power to slowly invade his sea of ​​consciousness.

The Sword Emperor statue said quietly, "Relax, headaches are normal."

Then, the Soul Guiding Jade transformed into a streak of light, like a sharp dagger, and pierced deeply into Soul Extinction's mind!
"Ah, ah, ah—!!!"
