The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

"This is truly unexpected..."

Ye Feng let out a soft breath, a barely suppressed excitement rising in his unfathomable dark eyes.

Putting aside the divine artifact before us, the cultivation method of the Blazing Fire Sword Body alone, this incomplete fragment of the original Dharma Body, is enough to be called the greatest opportunity in this world.

After the first Great Thousand War, only five of the ten original Dharma bodies remained. The remaining five were destroyed, and even the cultivation methods were never passed down.

The Myriad Swords Body of the Profound Heaven is one of the five original Dharma Bodies that were damaged and lost their inheritance. Even if what he obtained was only a fragment, in the Great Thousand World where there are only five original Dharma Bodies with cultivation methods, it is enough to make countless Supremes, or even Earth Supremes, fight to the death for it.

Although the Li Huo Xuan Jian Body is only a part of the Xuan Tian Wan Jian Body, or rather, its initial stage, it is still incomparable to ordinary supreme dharma bodies. It will surely gain a place in the ranking of supreme dharma bodies in the Great Thousand Worlds.

"Your master... is he the powerful figure who left behind the legacy of the Blazing Fire Sword Body?"

Staring at the dark gold flame longsword before him, its light dim yet still exuding an ancient aura, Ye Feng moved his mind and began to communicate with it again.

The sword trembled slightly, emitting a low hum, as if in response.

Immediately afterwards, a vague thought came through the connection, intermittently, and Ye Feng vaguely perceived a scene.

In the endless void, a majestic figure stood holding a sword, surrounded by a dark golden luster. Although his figure was blurry, he exuded an unparalleled majesty that looked down upon the heavens.

The enemy they faced looked quite terrifying.

It was an endless darkness, from which surged more than a dozen chillingly evil auras. As each scarlet eye opened, its cold and cruel gaze seemed to drag that entire world into an abyss.

Then the two sides clashed, and within moments, a clear winner was revealed.

The figure swung his sword down, the sword light slicing into the darkness, and wherever it passed, flames filled the sky, and heaven and earth collapsed.

That was a complete and utter crushing defeat.

Finally, the figure turned back, its blurred face seemingly gazing in a certain direction, its gaze piercing through the endless void, filled with longing and regret.

The scene abruptly ended.

Ye Feng was deeply shaken and could not calm down for a long time.

That figure wielding the sword is likely the owner of the Blazing Fire Sword. The terrifying power to shatter heaven and earth with a wave of the hand is something even the Sword Emperors of this world would find difficult to achieve.

If he wasn't mistaken, the enemy he faced was likely an extraterrestrial evil race.

The extraterrestrial evil races are not native beings of the Great Thousand Worlds, but invaders from the outside world.

"An extraterrestrial evil race..."

Ye Feng's mind was heavy. Although he had not personally witnessed the war between the Great Thousand World and the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan, he could feel the ferocity of that war from the blurry images transmitted by the spirit of the stele.

The energy cultivated by the extraterrestrial evil race is not compatible with the energy cultivated by the beings of the Great Thousand World. The mere aura of this race is enough to cause people to feel repulsed. Coupled with their cruelty and tyranny, if this world were to fall under their control, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"During the ancient war between heaven and earth, something must have happened on this Sword Continent, otherwise all the Sword Emperors would not have sealed off this world, completely cutting off the path for their descendants."

"Furthermore, in this world, there is actually a fragmented cultivation portion of the original Dharma Body..."

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Feng stopped thinking about it, calmed his turbulent emotions, and once again conveyed his thoughts to the spirit of the monument.

"Come with me..."

Some secrets of the world are best left unexplored; once your strength increases and you reach that level, you will naturally come to know them.

This time, the sword's reaction was even more pronounced than before.

A wisp of dark golden flame rose from the tip of the sword, as faint as candlelight, yet exuding an ancient and pure spirituality.

The flame flickered gently, drifting slowly toward Ye Feng, and finally landed between his eyebrows.

hum!

A warm sensation spread from between his brows, and Ye Feng felt a mental connection between himself and the three-foot-long sword in front of him.

"In this vast world, while divine artifacts may not be top-tier items, I believe you can accompany me for a long time. If possible in the future, I will help you advance further."

Ye Feng slowly reached out and grasped the dark golden flame sword.

The moment the sword touched his hand, a warm power surged along his arm into his body, resonating with the sword spirit in his dantian, the sword essence within his body, and even every inch of his flesh and bones.

This would mean he could unleash the full power of the sword in his hand.

At that very moment, the entire space of the Fire Sword Stele trembled violently. The boundless sea of ​​fire, whose energy had been depleted, began to shrink, transforming into streams of dark golden light that converged toward the longsword in Ye Feng's hand.

The entire world submitted to Ye Feng at this moment.

The next moment.

The scene before Ye Feng suddenly changed. When he reappeared in the forbidden area of ​​Li Huo Peak, he now held a three-foot-long sword in his hand.

The longsword has an ancient and simple blade, with crimson flames swirling around its edges, while the inside displays a deep dark gold color, with countless fine and mysterious patterns flowing across it, exuding extraordinary spirituality.

The thousand-foot-tall sword monument that had stood here for tens of thousands of years has disappeared.

"This…"

Su Zhen, Jiang Qingcang, Chen Yuan, and Zhou Qian arrived through the air. They were all utterly shocked and speechless upon seeing Ye Feng's sudden appearance and the ancient-looking longsword in his hand.

They could feel the terrifying aura emanating from the longsword in Ye Feng's hand.

"You...subdued the Blazing Fire Sword Monument?"

Su Zhen's voice trembled slightly, his eyes filled with shock.

Ye Feng nodded and smiled slightly.

"If it weren't for absorbing the energy from the space of the Blazing Fire Sword Stele, it would have been difficult to achieve such gains. In fact, we really need the help of several elders."

The simple response struck Su Zhen and the other three Sword Emperors like a thunderbolt, leaving them stunned on the spot.

The Burning Heaven Sword Sect has been established for tens of thousands of years. Countless brilliant predecessors and powerful sword emperors with unparalleled cultivation have tried to subdue the Blazing Fire Sword Stele, but none of them have succeeded.

However, he has now been subdued by Ye Feng. Although this is partly due to the depletion of the spatial energy of the Li Huo Sword Stele, it is still unknown whether this is a humble statement.

There is no comparison between people.

"This time, you not only refined and mastered the Blazing Fire Sword Stele, but your strength also broke through to the late stage of Sword Emperor, and you are only one step away from the perfect Sword Emperor realm. Good... very good..."

"You really didn't disappoint me, kid..."

Su Zhen looked up at the sky and laughed heartily, his laughter filled with deep satisfaction.

"Yes, it seems we were absolutely right to bet on you, young man, that you've achieved so much in just a few years..."

"..."

Jiang Qingcang, Chen Yuan, and Zhou Qian also showed excitement, their eyes full of approval.

Ye Feng's subjugation of the Blazing Fire Sword Stele does indeed mean that the Burning Heaven Sword Sect has lost a treasured artifact, but his late-stage Sword Empress strength means that he has taken another big step closer to that goal.
