Primordial Divine Emperor

Chapter 538 - 243: Godslaying Sword, Southern Sword Great Emperor, Royal Race Celestial Secret Pavilion, Shocking Secrets (Part 3)

Countless monstrous figures looked dumbfounded at this scene, all eyes filled with disbelief, and at the same time, their hearts were filled with rolling thunder.

If that person truly obtained the Godslaying Sword, then throughout the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, as long as the Sacred Artifact of the Divine Sect doesn’t emerge, who would dare to challenge him?

Unless they are figures at the level of a Sect Leader or Supreme Elder, even ordinary cultivators of the Entering the Saint Realm facing a cultivator of the Self-Slaying Realm holding a Sacred Artifact would only avoid the edge and flee in panic, even risking being killed.

Thinking of this, the countless monstrous figures of the Hundred Sects all took a deep breath, knowing that the person’s current strength was already unimaginably terrifying, let alone becoming even more terrifying if he obtained the Godslaying Sword.

It could be said that as long as he held the Sacred Artifact, he could suppress an endless number of top sects in the entire Hundred Broken Mountain Range, pressing half of the mountain range to the point of suffocation.

However, thinking of the harsh conditions to gain the Godslaying Sword’s recognition, many newly emerging monstrous figures from the Hundred Sects calmed down instantly.

"The Godslaying Sword is the sword of Great Success in the Sword Dao, a divine weapon of deification, and the requirements for its inheritor are extremely harsh. He is unlikely to obtain the Godslaying Sword."

"Perhaps he doesn’t want the Godslaying Sword itself, just some inheritance from within it. After all, the Dragon Emperor Sword Technique obtained by his master, Dugu Sword Saint, is one of the Ten Great Divine Techniques within the Godslaying Sword."

"Wanting to gain inheritance from the Godslaying Sword, how could it be so easy? Even Dugu Nan and Qin Yi back in those days never fully passed the ’Four-Sword Test’ of the Divine Sword. Passing the ’One-Sword Test’ alone would make him a monstrous talent in the Sword Dao."

As everyone knows, the most terrifying test of the Godslaying Sword is the ’Four-Sword Test’. Only those monstrous sword cultivators who pass the ’Four-Sword Test’ are likely to gain the Godslaying Sword’s recognition.

Many nodded in agreement, as the monstrous figures of the Hundred Sects had never witnessed Ye Xiaofan’s comprehension firsthand. Now, the few who truly understood his unsurpassed comprehension were none other than Nangong Jianchen and Mo Shiyi, and the siblings Luo Qingxian.

Therefore, it appeared to everyone that even though that figure had already become terrifying to the point of trembling, his level of comprehension was at most at the level of his master’s achievements in those days.

After all, looking at the entire Hundred Broken Mountain Range across endless ages, there were far more monstrous sword cultivators than just Dugu Nan and Qin Yi. History speaks of terrifying sword cultivators from thousands, tens of thousands, and even more distant years ago, despite many having vanished into oblivion or left no trace.

Some monstrous figures gazed with awe at the Divine Sword, subconsciously speaking, delving into various legends of the Godslaying Sword.

"According to ancient records, no sword cultivator has ever passed the ’Four-Sword Test’ of the Godslaying Sword. The ceiling is the ’Two-Sword Test’ and the ’One-Sword Test’. Even the First Generation Sword Saint Dugu Nan only penetrated the ’One-Sword Test’, and so did Qin Yi."

"Of course, throughout history in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, far more terrifying sword cultivators than just Dugu Sword Saint and Qin Yi have understood the ’One-Sword Test’. However, they were not peerless sword cultivators of the same era, and most have been erased by the passage of time or left no traces."

"Indeed, throughout the ages, those who understood the ’One-Sword Test’ in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range are as scarce as phoenix feathers, let alone those who went through the ’Two-Sword Test’. It is reported there has been only one."

"The senior brother refers to that ancient figure, the ’South Sword Great Emperor’ during the peak era of the Nanming Dynasty, doesn’t he? It’s said that this emperor, rising in those days, championed the Righteous Dao, achieved the position of Great Emperor of the Human Race, and personally elevated the Nanming Dynasty to its peak, promoting it to the Nanming Dynasty."

This is said to be the most glorious moment in the ancient history of Nanming Country, known to many.

Countless ages ago, a human emperor was born in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, who comprehended the test of the Godslaying Sword on the Heaven-Reaching Road, passed the ’Two-Sword Test’, obtained the Supreme Sword Dao inheritance, and eventually established the Righteous Dao to become an emperor.

And the dynasty with a human emperor, the moment the emperor chose to support it, could instantly ascend to the ranks of an imperial dynasty.

Back then, the Nanming Dynasty experienced its most glorious era ever. Under the leadership of the human emperor, it annihilated the neighboring dynasties, expanding toward the Eastern Wilderness region.

Unfortunately, during this triumph, it appears the peak imperial dynasty provoked something it shouldn’t have, leading to its complete collapse overnight, with the South Sword Great Emperor disappearing without a trace.

And in the absence of an emperor to hold the line, the Nanming Dynasty retreated in defeat overnight, like a homeless dog fleeing, abandoning all conquered territories, and the entire dynasty instantly collapsed from a great height, once again falling to the status of a dynasty, its legacy persisting to this day.

More bizarrely, reportedly, all Transcendence powerhouses and above who accompanied the emperor on his expedition mysteriously fell upon returning, marking the darkest and most helpless period of the Nanming Dynasty, nearly subjugated by resurgent neighboring dynasties.

Fortunately, the Nanming Dynasty ultimately endured, and after endless ages, it has once again become a giant in the Eastern Wilderness.

However, what remains a mystery to the entire Nanming Dynasty to this day is that after returning from the expedition, those cultivators who accompanied the emperor returned with expressionless faces, no matter their strength, all the same.
