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

"Follow them!"

Behind them, Cang Huo's follower Qing Yun and a group of Flame Clan members narrowed their eyes slightly and followed behind Cang Huo.

"This is the place where a quasi-emperor passed on his legacy. This Sword River is very likely the one left behind by that quasi-emperor before his death. It must contain unimaginable opportunities."

"Cultivators defy the will of Heaven; how can they attain sainthood if they fear life and death?"

"This is our chance to defy fate and change our destiny."

……

Whether they were cultivators at the Dao Severing Realm, Celestial Realm, or even Creation Realm, they all stepped into the Sword River, gritting their teeth as they made their way up to it.

"Pfft!"

A surge of sword intent swept in, and the group of fire-type beings at the very back were cleaved into countless pieces, their blood staining the sword river. Everyone trembled.

"Don't stray too far from those humans."

Some say they have discovered the rules of the Sword River.

The sword river surged to the heavens, piercing the nine heavens, its terrifying sword intent capable of tearing through the void, yet it avoided the humans within it.

Above the Sword River, the sword spirit watched this scene with a dejected expression.

This was originally a legacy prepared by the master for the human race, and only humans could step into the Sword River. However, unexpectedly, in later generations, a different race used human flesh and blood as a shield to walk onto the Sword River.

"You want to kill them?"

A strange sound came from the side. The bone serpent was coiled above the Sword River, looking down at it. The ghostly flames on its body could even ignite the void.

The strangeness of the peak of the Saint Realm is so great that even some Great Saints would retreat.

The sword spirit looked at him and smiled faintly.

"Don't you want to?"

Upon hearing this, the Bone Serpent merely gazed silently at the group of creatures swimming upstream from beneath the Sword River, its pupils filled with deathly stillness.

He wanted to kill not only Cang Huo and his group, but also the humans in front of him, and even the sword spirit beside him.

但他不敢动.

He didn't know what that person meant, and what if there were creatures in the Sword River that were related to that person?

His gaze fell more on Cang Huo, and like the sword spirit, he also felt that Cang Huo must be a powerful figure behind him.

Does that mean we can just swallow those few humans whole...?

His gaze fell on Qin Ming, Qin Ge, and the others at the front, and the sword spirit noticed that his gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Buzz!"

The giant sword behind him trembled slightly, as if it were about to burst from the ground.

"boom--"

A slight disturbance on the Sword River caused towering waves within it, with the endless Sword River surging forth, causing Qin Ming, Qin Ge, and the others to stop in their tracks.

"The Sword River is acting strangely, run!"

Below, the massive army of tens of thousands looked at the surging waves with horror, and their entire formation instantly fell into chaos.

Everyone was crowding towards the group of humans, but the giant wave pushed them in the opposite direction.

"Help!"

"Lord Canghu, save me!"

"No--"

……

In an instant, tens of thousands of lives were plunged into the river of swords. Within a few breaths, all of these lives were submerged and never reappeared.

Both body and soul were destroyed!

Above the Sword River, the Bone Serpent stared silently at the Sword Spirit, two wisps of soul fire flickering gently in its pupils, as if it were contemplating something.

"You can't even save yourself, and you still want to save them?"

He said that he didn't quite understand the emotions of the creatures in this world, nor did he understand what the obsession of the sword spirit was.

The sword spirit simply stared at him, its invisible sword intent locking onto him, as if the slightest movement from him would lead to their mutual destruction.

"It's stopped."

On the Sword River, feeling the water calming down, Lingyu said.

"I have a bad feeling that what lies at the end of the Sword River may not necessarily be the legacy of a Quasi-Emperor."

"Should we still leave?"

She said, looking at Qin Ming and Qin Ge.

Qin Ming was still comprehending the sword intent within the Sword River, having entered a state of enlightenment. Qin Ge looked at the Sword River and frowned slightly.

Gu Yi stood guard beside them, holding the sword box.

"The aura of death..."

Qin Ge reached into the Sword River and pulled out a deathly aura. This force was eroding the Sword River and trying to take over it.

"Something did reach the end of the Sword River before us. This thing... doesn't seem to be alive."

"But it's not a purely inanimate object."

She spoke softly, but her words caused Lingyu beside her to tremble.

It's neither a living thing nor a dead thing, so what is it?

"Walk."

Qin Ming, who was meditating nearby, suddenly spoke, and then walked straight up. Qin Ge paused slightly and followed.

Gu Yi continued to follow closely.

Lingyu glanced at Canghuo, who was gradually closing in from behind, and hurriedly followed. They had no way to retreat.

"Hurry up!"

Azurefire drove a group of humans, quickening its pace.

As the group of humans looked at the figures in front of the Sword River and felt the affinity emanating from it, their gazes gradually hardened.

"Hope lies ahead."

The old patriarch of this human clan transmitted his voice, and those humans who were about to give up instantly rekindled their fighting spirit.

A single spark will not be extinguished as long as it is not completely extinguished. Humanity is like that; no matter how desperate the situation, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will pursue it.

Even knowing that there is only a one in ten thousand chance.

Passing through the sky, they finally saw the scene above the Sword River, but what they saw there made everyone turn pale with horror.

"That's... eerie!"

Someone trembled as they pointed to the coiled bone serpent, its enormous body almost covering the entire Sword River.

A giant sword was thrust horizontally into the middle, forcefully carving out a space for itself; that must be the so-called quasi-emperor's inheritance.

"Neither alive nor dead, a mutated body—this is the bizarre transformation recorded in the annals. Could it be that the deceased quasi-emperor has transformed into a bizarre being?"

"How could this happen?"

Everyone wore expressions of despair.

They traveled against the current until they reached the end of the Sword River, only to find something bizarre.

The eerie, forbidden to living beings, and those who see it will die—this is everyone's impression of the eerie. These beings are almost immortal, evolving by devouring living beings.

"escape!"

Some people lost their minds and headed downstream towards the Sword River. A wave rolled in, leaving only a splash of blood on the surface of the Sword River.

"Quickly, capture those humans."

Suddenly, they saw the humans heading towards Qin Ming, Qin Ge, and the others, and their expressions changed instantly.

"return!"

Cang Huo reached out and grabbed a group of humans, as if trying to catch the moon from the bottom of the sea, but a figure blocked his way.

It was Qin Ming who unleashed a sword strike that connected the entire Sword River, causing the sword intent of the river to move in sync with his sword.

"boom!"

Qin Ming was blasted a thousand meters away, his blood staining the Sword River, but he delayed Cang Huo's palm strike and saved half of the people.

Just as the other half was about to fall into Cang Huo's hands, the entire Sword River suddenly churned, and a sword curtain appeared, forcefully separating Cang Huo.

A phantom appeared above the Sword River and slashed at it with his sword.

"Come here, everyone."

He said this, and then all the humans, including Qin Ming and Qin Ge, were swept up by the Sword River and came to his side.

Seeing this, the Bone Serpent plunged its tail into the Sword River, bringing Azure Fire and all the members of the Flame Clan behind it.

"Humans, you are still so foolish. You know that one of them should be the one behind this demon race, yet you still try to save them."

"Are you going to go against him?"

"Bone Serpent said, looking at Qin Ge and the group of people, his cold pupils filled with deathly light.
