A blazing golden light flew in from afar, vast and majestic, like the sun illuminating the depths of the cosmos. Within it were peak human strongmen, the weakest possessing peak battle strength of the Realm of Transcendence. The strongest stood at the front: two terrifying figures that seemed to tear through space, their closed eyes radiating blinding golden light that explosively shattered the space.

"Sword God Emperor, hold off the Demon Blood Horn King!"

A calm voice echoed throughout the Holy City, distant yet near, creating an illusion among the assembled strongmen.

"It's the ancestor!"

"The ancestor has finally arrived!!"

"Greetings, ancestor!!"

Sword God Emperor founded the Blade God Palace. Upon seeing his majestic figure, the Blade God Palace strongmen blushed with excitement.

Ordinarily, these emperor-level strongmen were rare to see in a century, but today they had gathered in the Holy City.

"Be careful!"

Sword God Emperor briefly nodded, his figure swiftly moving like a Mad Saber unsheathing, radiating terrifying Sword Force that dimmed the sky and earth.

Boom!

A monstrous, dazzling sword light burst from Sword God Emperor's treasure saber, along its path stars fell and layers of space were swept, transforming into a pitch-black fissure.

Boom!

Splurt!

With just one strike, several Demon Kings were obliterated, and countless Fifth Level demons were slaughtered. Sword God Emperor's Sword Dao was unparalleled, and among the blade masters of the Celestial Martial Continent, he was the top. With a Celestial Tier treasure saber, his destructive power was astounding.

Swish!

A terrifying sound silently appeared beside Sword God Emperor. A boundless blood sea surged towards him, and within its depths stood a towering figure, seemingly suppressing everything under heaven.

"Demon Blood Horn King, well met!"

Sword God Emperor's eyes gleamed slightly, completely fearless. He coldly murmured, his Celestial Tier treasure saber held low. Immediately, a dazzling sword light burst forth like a meteor flashing across the sky, stars were destroyed, and the terrifying momentum echoed throughout the cosmos.

"Sword God Emperor, let me see what progress you've made over the decades!"

Demon Blood Horn King's massive body shifted slightly, and the boundless blood sea instantly engulfed everything around, annihilating all life.

Boom!

Splurt!

The dazzling sword light flashed and disappeared, cleaving the vast blood sea into two halves. The blood sea surged continuously, eroding space and producing crackling sounds.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sword God Emperor and Demon Blood Horn King clashed, neither yielding. The terrifying sounds reverberated throughout the cosmos, layer upon layer of space was torn, and the sword light covering Sword God Emperor transformed into a Sword Dao river in a sweeping blast.

"Black Demon Nether King, since you're here, come forth!"

The remaining golden light in the sky gradually dimmed, and a clean-faced middle-aged man emerged. His eyes resolute, his pupils flooded with death aura, adorned in a blood robe, terrifying with an invincible presence, seemingly ready to suppress the Nine Heavens Void.

"Death Emperor, I didn't expect you to return this time!"

A black mist drifted from the space, slowly condensing into a vague figure. Black Demon Nether King was mysterious, few had seen his true face.

"Humph!"

Facing Black Demon Nether King's mockery, Death Emperor snorted coldly. The entire sky seemed to split by a destructive thunder, transforming into a spear of destruction aimed at Black Demon Nether King.

Black Demon Nether King was right; among the human strongmen, Death Emperor was rather unique. Most of the emperor-level strongmen of the Celestial Martial Continent fought for the continent, but Death Emperor fought for himself.

During battles between the Human Race and the Restricted Area, he remained neutral, aiding neither side.

"Since you're here, don't think of leaving today!"

Death Emperor possessed the Nine Revolutions Undying Body and had undergone eight major trials. One more trial would cultivate the Nine Revolutions Undying Body to the Great Success Realm. By then, even the Emperor of Creation and the Emperor of Destruction would fear him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrifying crimson Destiny Vortexes floated above Death Emperor's head, like eight fearsome stars containing the power to crush cosmic stars.

"Arrogant!"

Black Demon Nether King roared angrily. A black thundercloud drifted from his body, transforming into a terrifying Sword of Slaughter striking towards Death Emperor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Sword of Slaughter shone brilliantly, instantly tearing through layers of space, encased in the Power of Space, slashing at Death Emperor.

Death Emperor shifted his steps, resembling a colossal giant. Two fearsome crimson stars hovered on either side. Their battle raged fiercely, echoing through the cosmos. Both human and demon strongmen dared not approach.

"Now, only the Spider Illusion King of the Five Great War Generals under the Demon Emperor hasn't arrived!"

Chu Ming fled desperately, his Soul Power scanning the surroundings. This time, the Restricted Area swept through the Celestial Martial Continent, deploying nearly eighty percent of their forces. Clearly, the Demon Emperor intended to annihilate the gathered strongmen in one fell swoop.

"Human Dao Immortal Sword!"

Boom!

A thunderous roar erupted from the Nine Heavens Void, echoing throughout the cosmos. Like an enraged deity, a terrifying sword light descended from the sky, tearing through the void. The dazzling light briefly blurred everyone's vision.

"It's the spirit thought body of the Ancient Sword Emperor!"

Chu Ming murmured, feeling the pure Sword Dao in the golden light, as if returning to the origin of the Sword Dao.

Among all the strongmen present, perhaps only the spirit thought body of the Ancient Sword Emperor possessed such pure Sword Dao.

"Chu Ming, the situation is dire!"

As Chu Ming was lost in thought, a worried voice emerged from his mind, a purple light drifting from his Dantian revealing the invincible and majestic figure of the Ancient Sword Emperor.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Ming was startled. Only after the Ancient Sword Emperor spoke did he realize the pure Sword Dao within the Nine Heavens Void was slowly dissipating.

"My spirit thought body is likely fading!"

The remnant soul of the Ancient Sword Emperor said worriedly. The Emperor of Creation and the Emperor of Destruction could stall the Demon Emperor largely because of the Human Dao Sword. Once his spirit thought body dissipates and there is no one to wield the Human Dao Sword, it would be almost impossible for the Emperor of Creation and the Emperor of Destruction alone to stop the Demon Emperor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the Ancient Sword Emperor's remnant soul finished speaking, thunderous sounds echoed through the Nine Heavens Void. Countless pale golden lights fell from the sky, each containing a trace of weak Sword Dao insight.

Shhhh!

The void tore open, and two figures emerged. The faces of the Emperor of Creation and the Emperor of Destruction were grave.
