After millions of years in the library, I became an Immortal Emperor.

With each step, it felt as if one had stepped from one world into another, and a sense of decay and desolation washed over them.

"This is sword intent..."

Qin Ming stopped in his tracks, feeling the aura surging from the surrounding canyon, his expression one of shock.

Every blade of grass and every tree here, even the path beneath your feet, is formed from the essence of swordsmanship; this is a world of swordsmanship.

Looking back, the path we came from is no longer visible, just as ahead lies a canyon with no end in sight.

"We've entered a secret realm!"

Lingyu focused her mind and said that she was still trying to communicate with the talisman in her hand, but the spiritual light on the talisman had subsided and there was no movement at all.

She couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"This is a terrifying secret realm, which has even surpassed the scope of the Holy Realm. It is very likely that it hides a deadly threat beyond the Holy Realm."

"This is not a place for us."

Her face looked extremely pale.

Qin Ming and Qin Ge both tensed up upon hearing this. Gu Yi approached the two of them, his fingers still gripping the sword box.

Looking up into the canyon, countless sword intents converged there, even solidifying into physical forms, transforming into swords hanging overhead.

There's nowhere to go, neither to heaven nor to earth!

"We can only move forward."

Qin Ge said, and Qin Ming nodded. He felt as if something was calling to him from the end of the canyon.

Then the two walked forward, and there were still figures walking ahead, but they disappeared when they got to them.

"This is a trace of memory. This canyon has recorded the names of some people who have come here, forming this indelible afterimage."

"Judging from their appearance, they all seem to be sword cultivators."

"Could this be a place where traditions are passed down?"

Lingyu said that the further she went, the more solemn her expression became. Sword intent seeped into her body, and she felt an invisible sense of separation.

"Wujian Gorge!"

Finally, they saw a stone tablet with three characters outlined in sword intent, but they also saw countless corpses in front of Wujian Gorge.

"It is a place of inheritance, but it is also a dead place. Too much time has passed, and no one knows what exactly happened here."

"Perhaps there are unknown anomalies."

Gu Yi Ning Shen Dao.

They saw many words carved on the ground with swords.

"Sword... Demon..."

"Humans..."

Piecing together fragments of information only adds to the confusion.

"You'll know what it is when you reach the end."

Qin Ming said, his sword intent surging from his body, resisting the pervasive sword intent around him, and continued walking deeper into the canyon.

Outside the One-Line Sky Canyon!

Tens of thousands of Flame Clan members stood suspended in mid-air, including several members of the Flame Clan's genius camp, the strongest of whom had even reached the peak of the Dao Severing Realm.

He stood on crimson flames, with a huge halo of fire hanging behind him, like a god of fire.

In addition, people from other ethnic groups stood at a distance.

There were the Boundary Clan with their black skin resembling metal, the Crystal Clan whose bodies were crystallized, and the Demon Clan whose bodies were filled with demonic energy.

They waited quietly.

Lord Qing stood at the very front, gazing at the canyon before him. At a certain moment, his expression suddenly hardened, and he turned around, bowing towards the horizon.

"Welcome, young master!"

All the creatures of this land were shocked upon hearing this.

Looking towards that horizon, the first thing that came into view was a sky-covering demonic aura, and then a huge figure emerged from that aura.

"call!"

A figure emerged from the billowing demonic aura, dressed in gray robes, with eerie, blood-crystal-like pupils, and snake scales faintly visible on his cheeks.

The demon race sequence has arrived.

And it comes from the Azure Serpent clan.

"Azure Fire, ranked ninth in the demon race!"

A creature of the Flame Clan exclaimed in horror, and those around him were all shaken to their core upon hearing this.

The order of the top races is recorded in each race. Cang Huo of the demon race is an unparalleled prodigy who has already entered the Saint Realm.

He entered the realm of sainthood in less than three hundred years of cultivation.

In the Xuanhuang Great World, everyone under three hundred years old is considered a young generation, and he is even qualified to participate in the Myriad Races Grand Competition held by the Spirit Race.

However, people like them disdain participating in the Grand Competition of All Races; their strength and talent no longer need the Grand Competition of All Races to prove themselves.

"The Tomb of a Quasi-Emperor"

Before Cang Huo arrived at the First Line Sky Canyon, demonic energy seeped into the canyon. His expression hardened slightly, and he looked at Lord Qing.

"Where are the humans you were asked to prepare?"

Qingyun bowed respectfully, then waved towards the narrow canyon.

Hundreds of humans appeared on the ground, men and women, old and young; an entire clan had been captured and brought here.

They looked around, their faces filled with terror.

"Young master, everything is ready. It's just a pity that several talented humans escaped, but they fled to the tomb of a quasi-emperor."

As Qingyun spoke, Canghu looked towards the canyon, his gaze filled with a chilling coldness.

"There are always some self-righteous people among humans who think they have found a way out, but they don't realize that it is actually a dead end."

"Is the tomb of a quasi-emperor something they can touch?"

"It's good that they're allowed in; they were supposed to be allowed in anyway."

He spoke, then looked at the group of humans on the ground. The group of humans trembled and huddled together, with children, the elderly and other weak cultivators inside, and the young and strong and those with high cultivation outside, staring intently at Cang Huo.

The gray-clad youth in front of them appeared to be human, but he had a long snake tail trailing behind him and snake scales on his face; he was a demon.

And they are the most powerful race among the demon races, the Azure Serpent!

In their memory, a colossal serpent had swallowed an entire tribe whole, even a cultivator at the Creation Realm.

"Go in."

As Cang Huo spoke, an invisible demonic wind descended upon a group of humans, blowing them into the First Line Sky Canyon.

Then Canghuo stepped inside.

Qingyun followed, and everyone else filed in.

They didn't know why this sequence of the demon race needed humans, but there must be a reason; this quasi-emperor's tomb might be related to humans.

Do humans also have quasi-emperors?

Or perhaps this quasi-emperor has some connection with the human race.

They prefer the latter.

"call!"

A wind blew through the canyon, but it was all formed from condensed sword intent. This was the scene that greeted Cang Huo and the others as soon as they entered.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"

Blood splattered everywhere in the canyon, and hundreds of people died in just a few moments.

However, none of the hundreds of humans were injured. They stood in the canyon, and the sword winds swept past them, but avoided them.

Cang Huo's gaze sharpened slightly as he watched this scene.

"As expected, it's related to the human race."

A group of humans also noticed this scene. The elder in the lead looked at the alien race behind him, then looked at the front of the canyon, and took a deep breath.

"Perhaps there is hope ahead."

He said, his gaze suddenly hardening at the end.

"Walk."

He said this, and then led a group of people forward.

Above the Sword River, beneath the giant sword, the bone serpent stared eerily at the lower end of the Sword River, its gaze falling into the canyon.

"Living beings, flesh and blood..."
