The Eternal God Emperor Begins from the First Realm Breakthrough

Chapter 195: Immortality vs. Eternal Night

The stone tablet stands tall and hangs in the void.

Behind the stone tablet are thousands of floating stars, with tombstones standing on the stars, revealing endless desolation.

It seems to be telling future generations that there was once an extremely prosperous spiritual practice here with a long history, which gave birth to countless powerful people and dominated the storms of the times.

Zhang Ruochen's attention was drawn to one of the stars.

On the stars, there is a sword mountain, with thousands of swords forming a forest, and swords serving as tombstones.

At the front of Jianshan, there are six ancient swords and six tombs that are most conspicuous. They are much taller than the other tombs, as if they were heroes in the sword world when they were alive, and ghost heroes in the sword world after their death.

Que was also attracted by this sword tomb planet, and the Shadow Dan Sword in his body kept beating rhythmically.

"A sword art that has never existed in the world. It is rumored that the Origin Temple originated from the ancient sword world. Could the one on the Jianshan planet be the tomb of the sword gods of the ancient sword world?" Que murmured.

"These stars all look extraordinary, and the Sword Mountain star is particularly extraordinary. When I was in the Kunlun Realm, I once entered the Nine Absolutes Divine Tower. The divine mechanism inside was ingenious and rare in the world, but it was only an outer sect trial site for the Way of Immortality. Compared with the Origin Temple branch in front of us, its status should be far inferior.

"If the Nine Absolutes Divine Tower is so extraordinary, it's hard to imagine how grand the Origin Temple must be." Prajna sighed, and her words stirred the hearts and souls of everyone present in the Destiny Temple, making them eager to immediately rush into the stars behind the stone tablet.

Most of them were not sword cultivators, but they also found a star behind the stone tablet that was in harmony with the holy path they practiced.

The nine eternal paths, the seventy-two supreme holy paths, the three thousand great paths, and even many rare holy paths in the world and the various heavenly paths of the ten tribes in the hell realm can all find corresponding stars in them.

The stars here were the trial land that Chen Ping had created by using the original mystery of the dominant level and the cultivation of his ancestor, integrating various opportunities that already existed in the Origin Temple.

With the one path of origin, all things become empty, yet all things can also be derived. If the Temple of Origin had not been silent for many years, and if origin cultivators had not been rare in the world, with its inclusive and eclectic cultivation characteristics, it might be able to rival the eternal paths of destiny, truth, and light, and become a holy path that is practiced throughout the world.

Zhang Ruochen stared at Que and said, "Sword Mountain is ahead. I seem to have seen a new path to the sword. Do you want to give it a try together?"

"I'm just waiting for your words."

Que walked out from the saints of the Temple of Destiny, took out the Shadow Dan Sword, and exuded a sharp sword intent. Then, he and Zhang Ruochen walked towards the Jianshan Planet.

Bai Qing'er was attracted by a star emitting the original light, and without any hesitation, she chose to step on it.

There were enough stars in front of them, and the monks present were proficient in different holy ways, but no conflict broke out for a while. They just chose a star that suited them to step on.

Wu Yue Ming Huang chose a star that radiated the might of the Sky-piercing Halberd. Prajna, Xing Luo, Yu Qianchen and many other demigods of the Temple of Destiny chose a planet enveloped in the brilliance of destiny, and completely occupied it with their advantages in numbers and strength.

Yuan Qianmo, Emperor Donghua, Yan Yu, Fu Xiangnu, Chao Hua and others also occupied a star each.

……

Zhang Ruochen and Que had just stepped onto the Sword Mountain Star and landed in the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb Forest.

Bright beams of light flew out from the surrounding sword tombs. They were sword intents belonging to the ancient sword god.

Zhang Ruochen swung the Shenyuan Sword and activated the Yingdan Sword, slashing upwards diagonally, not afraid of the sword intent.

The sword intent gathered and transformed into two tangible swords, which attracted the two holy swords in the cemetery to fly out. Carrying the remaining power of the Sword God and driven by the residual thoughts of the Sword God, they fought against the two men.

Zhang Ruochen activated the Heart of Truth, focusing his attention as never before, and repelled dozens of attacks from the Holy Sword with the Abyss Sword.

On the other side, Que used the Void Sword Technique, and his body seemed to completely turn into nothingness, wandering in the sword intent, with the style of a great swordsman.

The two men fought as they moved forward, and holy swords kept flying out from the cemetery and attacking them.

Each holy sword represents a different sword technique and sword path. Some are as fierce as fire, some are as long as water, some are as dynamic as thunder, and some are as quiet as a virgin.

A holy sword performed the flaming sword technique, the flames spread all over the land, and the sword was as fierce as a dragon's roar.

There was a holy sword that performed the Flowing Light Sword Technique, leaving no trace behind. The sword light was so fast that even the truth could not fully capture its trace, and nothingness could not avoid its attack.

……

Each holy sword represents a sword god. In the past, there were three thousand sword gods in the sword world, and three thousand sword ways. Now, there are three thousand tombs and three thousand broken swords in the cemetery, which use their decaying bodies to explain the sword ways of the past to future generations.

The sword attacks became more and more fierce. Zhang Ruochen and Que began to suffer injuries. The sword energy penetrated their bodies, and neither the demigod body nor the way of nothingness could completely dissolve it.

Two figures walked towards Jianshan, leaving two trails of bloody footprints behind them.

But they are all in constant transformation, transforming into true gold through the sword training of the three thousand sword gods.

Zhang Ruochen used the Wordless Sword Manual as the general outline and the sword techniques he had learned throughout his life as the branches. He immersed himself in the unique artistic conception of "embracing all rivers and seas" and tried to integrate various completely different sword techniques into his own sword technique.

Que only practiced the sword technique of nothingness from beginning to end. The way of nothingness and the way of swordsmanship were the two holy ways he mainly practiced, and also the main part of his holy will.

His current realm is the fourth level of the Great Sage, and he has survived a thousand deaths.

The realm of a thousand deaths and a thousand deaths is about unleashing one's inner potential through repeated life-and-death struggles. After experiencing the Thousand Questions of the Dao Heart, Que's resolve has reached an extremely formidable level, his Dao heart unwavering and unshakeable. In his heart, the Three Thousand Sword Gods, the legendary Sword Ancestor, and even the Sword Ancestor's wordless sword manual and sword path, are no match for his Void Sword Dao.

The sword in his hand is the strongest sword. There is no need to recall the ancestor of the sword. Give him time and he will become the new ancestor of the sword.

This is the invincible belief passed down from generation to generation in the Xushen Palace. Xu Fengjin is like this, and so is Que. Even after being influenced by the Huo Ze God, Que is even better than his master.

The further they went, the stronger the attack of the holy sword in the cemetery became, and the injuries on the two men became more and more serious, but it was not without gain. Points of light entered their bodies, which were the mysteries of swordsmanship.

Although it is only one or two thousandths, it is still very amazing.

For a sword cultivator, no matter how precious the mysteries of the Nine Ancient Paths are, they cannot be compared with the mysteries of the Sword Dao. Que had once comprehended the mysteries of the Sword Dao, which were shown to him by Xu Fengjin, but he had never truly possessed the mysteries of the Sword Dao.

The secret is originally the exclusive property of powerful gods. What the monks in the holy realm have is almost all the gift from the gods.

The gods will only bestow upon earthly geniuses the mysteries that do not affect their own strength and are of no importance to themselves. They are already trying their best to obtain more of the holy way they are studying, so how could they bestow the mysteries upon others?

Xu Fengjin specializes in the way of swordsmanship and the way of nothingness, and so does Que. Given Xu Fengjin's character, how could he sacrifice his own strength to train younger disciples? Even if he values ​​Que very much, he will only train him in other aspects.

The mysteries of swordsmanship and nothingness will never be bestowed upon you.

At this moment, they had the opportunity to obtain the profound meaning of the sword. Zhang Ruochen and Que looked at each other, their eyes filled with determination.

Both of them are proud people, and there are only a handful of their peers who they take seriously.

It is even rarer to find people who practice the same path together. Now, with two people and two swords, facing three thousand broken swords, their clothes are stained with blood after the battle, and they can't help but feel a sense of mutual respect for each other.

"Zhang Ruochen, how about we join forces?"

"I couldn't ask for more." Zhang Ruochen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grinned, and his fighting spirit increased several points.

Two swords, two figures, in the tomb forest where sword lights were flying, they refused to turn back and walked forward side by side resolutely.

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally broke through the tomb forest and carved out a way to survive among the thousands of swords.

Standing at the foot of the Sword Mountain, the two felt the ten thousandth degree of the profound sword art in their bodies, looked up at the towering Sword Mountain, and couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"With a fellow Taoist by my side and a sword in hand, I can break thousands of swords and drive away the Sword God's lingering thoughts. It feels so good, so good." Zhang Ruochen felt his sword heart burning like never before, giving rise to endless heroic spirit.

"Look, there are words on Jianshan." Que suddenly spoke.

The two of them looked together and saw several lines of ancient text on the dark cliff. Each word was written with a dragon-like stroke, containing extremely high sword skills and expounding the ultimate truth of swordsmanship, as if every stroke contained an exquisite sword move.

The writing was ancient and not the prevailing writing in the current universe, but the two of them were able to understand it perfectly.

"I am the Lord of the Sword Realm, the ancestor of the Sword Dao, and the seventh master of the Way of Immortality... I roam the world, and all realms bow before me... Darkness descends, and the Way of Immortality seeks to reverse the fall... The blood of the gods stains the sky, and the ancestors battle across the starry sea...

However, the sky is falling and it is hard to support it, the darkness is hard to dispel, I will ignite the nine sects and seventy-two schools of the Longevity Path, fighting together in the eternal night, holding my sword and killing to the nine heavens, repairing my armor, and moving forward courageously..."

"...The battle is going badly. If I die, the sword will die too...

Three thousand sword gods have fallen and are buried here...

Leave my courage here for future generations of sword cultivators."

……

Zhang Ruochen and Que were deeply shocked that there was such a touching story in history.

The Sword Ancestor is the ancestor of the sword and one of the nine sects of the Longevity Path. When the eternal night comes, the seventy-two outer sects of the nine sects of the Longevity Path join hands to resist and restore peace to the universe.

In this battle, three thousand sword gods died, leaving only the Sword Ancestor in the entire sword world. In order to prevent the sword art inheritance from being cut off, the Sword Ancestor left his courage here and faced the enemy alone.

How tragic and shocking.

As sword cultivators, Zhang Ruochen and Que couldn't help but shed tears.

After calming down, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but wonder, "Since Sword Ancestor was going to meet the enemy, why did he leave his courage here? Without his courage, would he still have the will to die? In that battle, Sword Ancestor obviously didn't die. He went to Kunlun Realm and left behind the inheritance of the Wordless Sword Manual.

It was Changshengdao who defeated Yongye, or maybe..."

Or maybe the Sword Master lost his courage and chose to escape.

Zhang Ruochen did not say this. As a sword cultivator, he really did not want to say such words to slander the Sword Ancestor.

Que also had this question in his mind, "Don't think too much, the answer must be on the mountain, you and I will find out once we explore."
