When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

The old man stared at the [Sky-Shattering Sword] in Jiang Feng's hand, his cloudy eyes gradually becoming clear.

The glorious past flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern.

At that time, he was the most dazzling prodigy in the Jiangnan Military Region!

At the age of eighteen, he broke through to the fifth-grade Grandmaster realm in one fell swoop!

At the age of twenty, he broke through to the sixth rank of Martial King and awakened a rare Emperor-level bloodline!

At the age of twenty-three, he reached the peak of the sixth rank and led an army alone!

At the age of twenty-eight, he ventured alone into the abyss, proving his Dao by killing gods, and breaking through to the seventh-grade Martial Emperor realm by stepping on the corpses of tens of thousands of strange beasts!

In that battle, he terrified all the beasts within a hundred miles, and even the Beast King dared not cross the line!

Throughout the entire Jiangnan Province, who doesn't know his formidable reputation as the "Suppressing Abyss Killing God"!

At that time, he was extremely arrogant!

He didn't take anyone seriously!

There was only one exception.

In the military, that guy and he were known as the two prides of the military region!

He was also the only guy he acknowledged!

The two became close friends who fought side by side!

His close friend was the one who wielded the [Sky-Shattering] sword, slaying beasts that struck fear into the hearts of all!

He has now risen to the rank of Marshal of the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region!

If nothing unexpected happens, the old drunkard might be able to break through to the eighth-rank Martial Saint if he continues to stay in the army, and even reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

Until... that thing happened.

From then on, a generation of killing god fell, and the world gained a good-for-nothing who spent his days drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

"It's been so many years, I never thought I'd see this sword again."

"I wonder if that guy... still blushes when he sees a pretty woman these days."

The loneliness and weariness in the old man's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a look of relief.

He watched Jiang Feng's retreating figure, and a smile finally appeared on his lips.

"To have obtained this Sky-Shattering Sword, it seems that old man trusts you quite a bit!"

Meanwhile, the battle in the hall had reached a fever pitch.

Shen Weilan, Lin Xing, Li Changsheng, and others were already locked in a fierce battle with the men in black.

Amidst the flashing swords and the clash of blades, this group of elite gangsters was actually routed by a few high school students.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

"You little beast, die!"

Ma Hao roared, and the aura of a half-step Martial King erupted.

All that could be seen was his true energy being frantically poured into the Ghost Head Blade.

In an instant, the originally black blade was dyed crimson.

A strong stench of blood permeated the hall, and even ghostly figures wailing could be seen around the broadsword!

Mid-grade Divine Power - [Blood Fiend - Ghost Head Slash]!

He was going to kill Jiang Feng!

This group of people will naturally choose to surrender on the spot!

However, faced with this blood-red blade of light that was enough to split a building in two.

Jiang Feng's eyes remained cold.

He gripped Jingxiao tightly in his backhand, preparing to unleash his sword technique, the Azure Serpent Sword.

However, at this very moment...

A system notification suddenly rang in my mind!

[Ding! Bloodline Awakening Progress: 100%!]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully awakened the Emperor's bloodline!]

"boom!!!"

Just as the system notification sound ended.

The old drunkard, who was originally preparing to block the blow for Jiang Feng, suddenly froze in mid-air.

"That aura...bloodline?!"

"And it's an Emperor-level bloodline!!!"

In the center of the hall.

Jiang Feng held the Sky-Shattering Sword in his hand, and a burst of Heaven-Burning True Qi, a hundred times more violent than before, erupted from his body like a volcano!

Dark red true energy, mixed with dazzling golden divine light, soared into the sky!

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Jiang Feng was enveloped in a golden halo of flowing Dao runes, as if he were draped in the robes of an emperor!

Behind him, a phantom of an emperor, several tens of feet tall, wearing an imperial crown and standing on a starry river, slowly emerged!

When the Great Emperor appears, all laws submit!

With the terrifying boost from his bloodline, Jiang Feng's supernatural power surged by 1000%!

[Ding! The Emperor's bloodline has successfully awakened! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission!]

[Reward Distribution: Inheritance of the Stone Peak Master of the Linlang Sect!]

[Congratulations, host, on mastering the mid-grade divine sword technique—[Eight Desolations: World-Suppressing Imperial Sword]!]

A series of realizations flooded my mind in an instant!

Jiang Feng's eyes turned into a dazzling dark gold, like a god looking down upon all living beings!

"cut."

Jiang Feng parted his thin lips slightly, gripped the hilt of the Jingxiao Sword with both hands, and slashed out with his sword to meet the blood-red blade light!

【Eight Desolations - World-Suppressing Imperial Sword】!

As he swung his sword, the illusory figure of the Great Emperor behind him also raised the colossal sword that could cleave the heavens and the earth.

A dark golden sword beam, carrying the supreme imperial might to suppress all directions, roared out!

"Boom!!!"

The dark golden sword light and the scarlet blade light collided with a deafening roar!

There was no stalemate!

The moment they made contact, Ma Hao's sinister smile froze, replaced by a deep-seated terror!

"No!"

"impossible!"

"That's absolutely impossible!"

"How could you possibly possess such power...?"

His proud supernatural power couldn't withstand the dark golden sword light for even a moment, and was crushed into dust in an instant!

The sword's remaining power was undiminished, and it slashed fiercely into his chest!

"Snap!"

A piercing explosion rang out.

Ma Hao's expensively purchased protective armor exploded instantly!

"Pfft!"

Blood gushed out like a fountain!

Seven or eight of his sternum and ribs were broken cleanly!

"Aaaaaah!"

Like a kite with a broken string, Ma Hao spewed blood wildly in the air before finally crashing heavily to the ground like a dead dog!

The dust has settled.

The entire venue fell silent, save for a collective gasp of shock.

Amidst the ruins, Ma Hao, covered in blood, struggled to lift his head.

His eyes were filled with fear as he stared intently at the boy who looked like a god descending to earth not far away.

"No...this is impossible!"

"You're just a fifth-rank official... how dare you cripple me with a single sword strike!?"

"Who...who are you?!"
