I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

"Heh!" Seeing that Jueyi was already caught in the fishing net, Zhu Yongri smiled again, then put his hands together, and a great force was generated instantly, which began to devour Jueyi's true power, as if it wanted to devour all of his true power.

Feeling his inner energy rapidly dissipating, Jue Yi remained motionless, though beads of cold sweat trickled down his face. His expression, however, was unusually calm, as if he were waiting for an opportunity.

"Huh? What's going on?" Seeing Jueyi's appearance, Zhu Yongri was slightly surprised. He didn't understand why Jueyi could be so calm under such circumstances.

However, he didn't understand, and Jueyi didn't care too much. In that instant when the man was lost in thought, Jueyi's eyes suddenly opened, and a domineering aura instantly gathered into a golden bow and arrow, which was drawn to a full moon shape and shot out without hesitation towards Zhu Yongri's head.

It's a long story, but in reality, it only took less than a breath for Jueyi to complete this series of actions. And this was within the Wutianwang (a network of surveillance and control). If it were outside, without any suppression, how terrifying would this arrow be?

Zhu Yongri seemed to have not expected Jueyi to act so quickly. As the golden arrow drew closer and closer to him, a sense of life and death suddenly arose in his heart.

Fortunately, although he didn't have time to do much defense, he was still at the early stage of the Heavenly Monarch realm and had some defensive measures.

With a soft "pfft," a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, but instead of hitting the ground, it covered his head.

At this moment, something strange happened.

The arrow actually pierced through his skull without causing him any harm.

Upon seeing this, Jueyi frowned immediately, but quickly relaxed. He glanced at the direction of the arrow, then ignored Zhu Yongri. With a swift movement, he quickly passed the arrow and sped off in the direction of the arrow.

"what?"

Seeing this, Zhu Yongri was naturally shocked. Only then did he realize that Jueyi's target was not him, but rather he wanted to use the power of the arrow and his momentary distraction to break the Wutian Net.

A thunderous sound immediately echoed.

However, the Heavenly Net did not break under this arrow; it only swayed a few times.

But at this moment, Jue Yi was already close to the terrifying sky set up by Wutianwang. In the next instant, his eyes flashed, and he clenched his fist with one hand. A powerful and boundless true force suddenly burst out from his body!

However, this outburst did not last long before it began to rapidly subside, seemingly concentrating into the final punch without leaving a trace!

"Damn it!" Takenaga felt the absolute power contained in that punch and tried to stop it, but it was too late.

"Smash it!!!"

With that roar, Jue Yi, his expression ferocious, immediately threw a punch, which directly hit the spot where the long arrow had been attacking. This superimposed attack, although not at full strength, still managed to tear a hole in the fishing net!

As the image of the forest reappeared in Jueyi's eyes, he made no further moves or said a word, and immediately fled in one direction.

At this moment, he had used up some of his true energy and had some of it taken away by the Wutianwang, so all he had left was the strength to run away.

Zhang Shen, who was outside, was also shocked. He had not expected that the Wutian Net he and Zhu Yongri of the Zhutian Clan had set up would be broken so easily by Jue Yi.

He didn't think much about it at that moment. After all, he was no simple person. He could see that Jueyi was already at his limit, so he immediately followed the direction Jueyi was moving in and soon disappeared into the depths of the forest.

The direction they were heading was none other than the cemetery of the Imperial Sword Clan.

Even Jue Yi himself probably didn't expect that once he stayed in that place, he would end up living in the northern region of the Emperor Sword Clan for several years!

Later, Jueyi never had enough true energy to sustain himself, and the numerous traps in the Dijian Clan's tomb, while not having much effect on him, still hindered him. In his later confrontation with Zhang Shen, he was ultimately defeated by Zhang Shen.

However, despite this, it also allowed him to learn a great deal about the forbidden area of ​​the Emperor Sword Clan. To this day, even Zhang Shen probably didn't expect that he would come out again.

……

Returning to the present, Jueyi looked at the stone gate, withdrawing his attention and those memories.

A short while later, he slowly opened the stone door, and at the same time, he told himself that today he must obtain what he had not obtained before.

Jueyi gently placed his right hand on the stone door. Just as he was about to exert force, Jueyi suddenly sensed something was wrong, his eyes lit up, and he quickly took a few steps back.

In an instant, an invisible force suddenly arose from within the secret chamber and shattered the stone door.

boom!

Outside the secret room, sand and stones flew everywhere in an instant.

But this powerful force had not yet ended its sweep, and instead rushed directly toward Jueyi. It was unclear whether this was intentional on the part of the force or due to some other factor.

However, when Jue Yi felt the force coming towards him, a hint of mockery appeared on his face.

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly, then instantly clenched his fist with one hand, gathering an extremely domineering true energy into a single point, and without the slightest hesitation, unleashed a punch towards the direction from which the great force emanated.

The two forces clashed, but instead of the expected storm, their confrontation ended peacefully.

Dali disappeared, and the true power that Jueyi had used also mysteriously vanished.

Jue's expression was indifferent, as if he had known this outcome all along, but if you looked deeper, a faint doubt flashed in his eyes.

The root of his doubts was... what exactly happened inside this secret room?

With this question in mind, he took another step without hesitation and walked lightly into the secret room.

Perhaps because of that near-crisis he had just experienced, he had become a bit more cautious. After all, he didn't know what might happen inside, so it was good to be prepared.

Meanwhile, inside the secret chamber, at the point where the light cocoon was located, the cracks on its surface were increasing and becoming more intricate, like the roots of a large tree, dazzling to the eye at first glance.

Above this cocoon of light, the purple light surrounding its surface flickers, and with each change, another crack appears on the cocoon.

But with each additional crack, an invisible force would coalesce and then flow wildly throughout the secret chamber. Upon closer inspection, the entire chamber was already in ruins due to these forces.

Upon closer inspection, however, it becomes clear that although these powerful forces are flowing wildly, none of them seem to be impacting the coffins on the ground. This is quite strange.

click... click...

Two more cracks appeared, generating two more invisible forces.

They sped off again toward the stone gate.

Just as these two powerful forces arrived at the stone gate, Jueyi's figure reappeared there.

Upon seeing this, Jue Yi frowned slightly and immediately threw another punch at one of the powerful forces.

Just like last time, this powerful force dissipated without making a sound, and then his other hand struck out at another powerful force at the same time, with the same result.

But although those two punches broke through the two powerful forces, he encountered even bigger trouble next.

It seems to be an attraction.

After those two powerful forces were decisively defeated, the other powerful forces that were originally running around in the secret chamber seemed to be affected by something, and they all stopped in place and became motionless.

At this moment, Jue Yi sensed the unmoving forces and naturally became even more puzzled. But despite his curiosity, he did not lower his guard. After all, this was the secret chamber built by Zhang Ling, the first ancestor of the Emperor Sword Clan, so it was only right to be careful.

However, when his gaze fell upon the purple sword atop the cocoon of light, a storm suddenly surged within him.

"The Emperor's Sword?" he exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, besides the intense passion in his heart, there seemed to be something else in his eyes, something like a crystalline glint, something like a kind of sorrow...

Yes, for this thing, he was imprisoned for seven years and suffered for seven years; for this thing, he harmed his own daughter, who at such a young age had to shoulder the mission of the entire family branch, and was deprived of the happiness that was originally hers; for this thing, he lost so much, so much…

Today, this thing—the Emperor Sword!—finally appeared before his eyes, and he was naturally filled with mixed emotions.

"I can finally have you."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes changed, as if the sadness he had just felt had never happened. Instead, his eyes revealed a strong desire, a tenacity for what he was determined to have.

Then he began to slowly move his feet, gradually approaching it.

Twenty meters!

Ten meters!

Five meters!

But just as his figure was about three meters away from the Emperor's Sword, the unexpected change occurred without any suspense.

Those calm, powerful forces, as if stimulated by something, began to move wildly again, but this time their madness was not as chaotic as before, but became more regular.

At this moment, they seem to have only one goal: to settle the score.

Seeing Jueyi approach the Emperor Sword, they seemed to become somewhat human, unleashing all their strength as if they were risking their lives, rushing desperately towards Jueyi's location, as if they wanted to prevent Jueyi from touching the Emperor Sword.

Of course, Jueyi also noticed that the energy bodies that had been still in the secret room were now rushing towards him.

His expression remained calm as always, without the slightest sign of panic. Just like the previous two times, he began to attack the powerful figures.

Those powerful attacks were quite formidable. Jueyi felt their impact, which was equivalent to a full-force strike from a ninth-level Wangtian Realm cultivator, and even surpassed it.

Nevertheless, the result of their actions is undoubtedly like moths drawn to a flame.

Even though they are numerous, they pose no danger to Jueyi, who is in the middle stage of the Heavenly Monarch realm.

Although Jueyi's true power had not fully recovered, it was still more than enough to deal with these mindless energies. However, precisely because of their sheer number and their seemingly reckless behavior, they significantly hampered Jueyi's actions.

After a while, Jueyi still hadn't taken more than a few steps forward. Because of this, Jueyi was now also feeling unusually agitated, all because of these invisible forces.

"Humph!"

Jueyi had clearly lost his patience. He snorted again and made no move. He simply waved his right hand forward, and a spherical energy barrier instantly appeared around Jueyi, completely enveloping him.

At this moment, the powerful impacts that struck the barrier only produced booming sounds, without causing any damage to the barrier itself.

And so, Jueyi glanced at the powerful figures blocked outside the barrier, but didn't pay them much attention, and walked directly towards the location of the Emperor Sword again.

click... click...

Two more cracking sounds rang out, but these two were slightly different from the previous ones. Because these sounds came from inside the cocoon of light.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this sound, Jue Yi exclaimed in surprise once again. At this moment, he was only a few meters away from the Emperor Sword on the cocoon of light, but he unconsciously stopped in his tracks because of this sound.

The more sensitive a person is, the more they will consider things; the stronger a person is, the more cautious they will be compared to the average person. This is an innate trait, and Jueyi at this moment happens to be such a person.

His gaze was fixed on the cocoon of light. He felt a faint sense of familiarity about it. He hadn't felt it much earlier because of the Emperor Sword, but the closer he got, the more sensitive the feeling became.

"What is it?" he murmured, but a person involuntarily came to mind.

"Is it him? That possibility isn't very high. He's not a member of the Emperor Sword Clan... but that doesn't mean he doesn't have Emperor Sword Clan blood. After all, the era of the thirteenth patriarch of the Emperor Sword Clan is too far removed from now. Just because there are branches in various places that the Emperor Sword Clan doesn't know about doesn't mean they don't exist... If that's really the case..."

And just then, before Jueyi could even confirm his own idea, the answer seemed to be about to be revealed.

The entire cocoon of light, both inside and out, produced a series of cracking sounds, like a butterfly about to emerge from its cocoon and embark on its journey of breaking free.

Jueyi stopped thinking about it and looked at the cocoon of light, as if he also wanted to know the answer.

click... click...

boom!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the secret chamber, and most of the energy entities that were still around Jueyi were instantly dissipated by the sound.

The next instant, an exceptionally beautiful and bright purple light seemed to pierce through the secret chamber and shoot towards the sky, as if foreshadowing the birth of a powerful being.
