"Paralyze, don't force me to take action! Even if you are not my opponents, it's just a matter of numbers. In a one-on-one fight, who am I afraid of?"
Donghua's heart roared with anger, and a crazed expression appeared on his face.
"I, Donghua Sword Immortal, was once the strongest sword immortal, rivaling the power of Emperor Dayu. So many years have passed, and in this reincarnation, I have comprehended the ultimate essence of swordsmanship, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin! Even if Emperor Dayu has reached the Transcended the Mortal Realm stage, he is not my match!"
"My swordsmanship is the strongest in this world. The Nine Immortal Realm and the Demon Domain—those Martial Emperors and Immortal Emperors—what do they amount to before me, Donghua?"
"Don't push me!"
"Even if I die, I will take a few down with me!"
Donghua felt terrible. The inexplicably united three Spatial Planes had come to the Soul World—was it for him?
How could they think so highly of him?
"Donghua, long time no see!"
Just as Donghua was on the verge of collapse, the voice of Demon Lotus Emperor reached his ears.
Demon Lotus Emperor's mental strength echoed with mockery.
A chill ran through Donghua's heart, but there was no hint of weakness in his tone as he replied, "Demon Lotus Emperor, I don't know what has happened to you, but you are not my opponent—never will be! Two thousand years ago, I could defeat you, and now I can still defeat you! Even if you have regained your Immortal Emperor strength, I am not afraid."
"Oh? Such bravado. Heh heh, I admire your spirit... However, two thousand years ago, I lost to a formation set up by countless people working together—not to you!" Demon Lotus Emperor said lightly.
Donghua replied, "It's all the same; you are not my opponent. Even though my Warrior Realm is low now, my swordsmanship has reached a level you can only dream of."
"Heh heh, the Demon Domain and the Nine Immortal Realm and Hua Xia World have undergone some very strange changes. They are no longer the three worlds you once knew. Donghua, you have fallen behind," Demon Lotus Emperor said.
Donghua responded, "It doesn't matter. If you want to fight, come at me. I will face you one-on-one. If I lose, I will take my own life as an apology."
In the void, the Demon Lotus Emperor pouted, showing no interest in speaking with Donghua. No matter what, the current Demon Lotus Emperor had already become the Boundary God of Hua Xia World. How strong could Donghua be? Could he surpass the Boundary God?
"Donghua, I am Da Yu. It's a pleasure to meet you here."
As Donghua anticipated a battle with the Demon Lotus Emperor, another voice entered his ears.
It was the voice of Emperor Dayu!
Donghua was momentarily stunned, but then his tone brimmed with fighting spirit as he transmitted, "Emperor Dayu, back in Hua Xia World, I was no match for you. But now, I have comprehended Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin and achieved the strongest swordsmanship. You must have reached the Transcended the Mortal Realm stage by now, right?"
"That's right, I have indeed reached the Transcended the Mortal Realm stage," Emperor Dayu replied.
Donghua sneered as he transmitted, "That's good. The ordinary Immortal Emperor realm isn't worth my effort; your strength is just right."
"Donghua, why do you still enjoy fighting so much? I'm not looking for a fight with you," Emperor Dayu said.
Donghua frowned and replied, "Emperor Dayu, we have no grudges against each other. My pursuit of the Demon Lotus Emperor from Nine Immortal Realm to Hua Xia World could be considered a favor to you. Can you at least tell me what on earth happened?"
Emperor Dayu responded, "I can't say for now, but you'll know soon enough."
Donghua fell silent.
"Donghua, long time no see. Do you remember me?" At that moment, an Immortal Emperor from Nine Immortal Realm transmitted to Donghua.
Donghua was taken aback and then replied, "I remember. Back then we stood side by side under Jade Emperor."
"Unfortunately, I have now embarked on a path you cannot imagine. Your sword energy is strong; you've comprehended Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin, haven't you?" the Immortal Emperor said.
"That's right," Donghua transmitted. "Since you're all here and Emperor Dayu has come too, then Jade Emperor should be here as well, right?"
"Unfortunately not; I'm sorry to disappoint you. Jade Emperor has already been taken down by Dark Mage," the Immortal Emperor replied.
“Dark Mage? The Dark Mage killed the Jade Emperor? How is that possible? The Jade Emperor wields a divine sword!”
“The Jade Emperor's sword unleashed tremendous power, but it was still no match for the Dark Mage. Out of respect for our past friendship, I can tell you that the Dark Mage has already ascended to the Divine Realm. We are still mere mortals; there’s no way we can contend with a god,” the Immortal Emperor replied.
“God? What does that mean? Is it the Saint Level after transcending the Mortal Realm?” Donghua asked, frowning.
The Immortal Emperor chuckled and explained, “Not quite. The Saint Level is one thing, and a god is another; they are not the same concept. As for their specific combat abilities, since a Saint Level has never appeared, I cannot say who is stronger between a god and a Saint Level.”
“If the Dark Mage has killed the Jade Emperor, then the Demon Realm and the Nine Immortal Realm are irreconcilable! But how can you be with people from the Demon Realm?” Donghua asked in confusion.
The Immortal Emperor clarified, “The current Demon Realm, Nine Immortal Realm, and Hua Xia World have become one entity. We have a common leader.”
“Who?”
“I can’t say, but you will find out soon enough; don’t rush it.” The Immortal Emperor continued, “You have already comprehended Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin; that is your protective charm. Master it well. Perhaps you won’t die after all. Our leader is someone who values talent. The Western Buddha was easily annihilated by him, and Thunder Sound Temple was destroyed as well. Only Dazhi Zhi remains among those who practice Buddhism. Dazhi Zhi represents orthodox Buddhist practice; our leader cherishes talent and doesn’t want Buddhism to be lost, so he spared Dazhi Zhi. Similarly, as a former friend, I don’t want to watch you die. Your Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin might catch our leader Deity’s eye, and then you might be able to survive. After all, you have a grudge with the Demon Lotus Emperor, and our leader is the best of friends with him!”
“Donghua, I can only say this much.”
The Immortal Emperor ended his transmission, closing his consciousness and no longer accepting Donghua’s inquiries.
“Donghua Sword Immortal, I’ve long admired your name; I am the Dark Mage.”
As Donghua pondered this information, the voice of the Dark Mage reached his ears.
Donghua was utterly bewildered; what on earth did this mean?
Was everyone playing him like this?
But when it came to the Dark Mage—who had slain the Jade Emperor wielding a divine sword—Donghua dared not act recklessly. The Dark Mage's status was on par with that of the Jade Emperor, slightly higher than Emperor Dayu. However, due to the overwhelming presence of the Demon Realm Army in the sky, Donghua could only treat the Dark Mage with utmost politeness.
The main issue was that Donghua had received shocking news from the previous Immortal Emperor about how the Dark Mage had killed the Jade Emperor with a divine sword. This revelation left him in a state of shock that he couldn’t shake off for quite some time.
Donghua pondered to himself that even with his current understanding of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin, he was still considered the strongest sword immortal in the history of the Nine Immortal Realm. Yet, when facing the Jade Emperor, who wielded a divine sword, he remained at a disadvantage. The power of that sword was something Donghua had experienced firsthand during his time in the Nine Immortal Realm.
He did not respond to the Dark Mage, waiting for him to continue speaking. After all, the Dark Mage had merely greeted him without offering any substantial information.
As expected, the Dark Mage spoke again, "I heard your name while I was in the Demon Realm. You are known as the strongest sword immortal under the Jade Emperor. It seems your mastery of swordsmanship has reached a new level, hasn't it?"
"It appears that your understanding of swordsmanship has reached Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin?"
Upon hearing the Dark Mage's question, Donghua nodded and communicated telepathically, "That's correct; it is indeed Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin."
"Very good. Perhaps because of this, your life may yet be spared. Cherish it well."
The Dark Mage had developed an appreciation for talent. He understood Wei Chen's intentions; as long as someone possessed unique skills in a particular field, Wei Chen would directly recruit them if he found them interesting. Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin represented a pinnacle in swordsmanship, comparable to Emperor Dayu's Transcended the Mortal Realm. However, with a sword in hand, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin was even more formidable than those at the Transcended the Mortal Realm stage.
Moreover, a true master of swordsmanship did not need an exceptionally high Warrior Realm; they could rely solely on their sword skills to engage in combat. This was the greatest advantage of being a Swordsmanship Master.
Currently, Donghua had a low Warrior Realm but felt no fear when facing ordinary Martial Emperor Realm or Immortal Emperor opponents due to his mastery of swordsmanship. Strong sword skills provided him with immense confidence.
After receiving the Dark Mage's message, Donghua felt increasingly perplexed. What on earth was going on?
At that moment, a figure shot out from the Army.
Donghua recognized that figure all too well.
Two thousand years ago, he had fought against that person countless times!
Back then, when the Demon Lotus Emperor stirred up chaos in the Hua Xia World and Emperor Dayu sought assistance from the Jade Emperor, Donghua was at a critical juncture in his breakthrough and could not intervene personally. With no one capable of subduing the Demon Lotus Emperor within Hua Xia World, Emperor Dayu had no choice but to turn to the Jade Emperor for help.
The one sent by the Jade Emperor to assist in the Hua Xia World was the Donghua Sword Immortal.
Donghua could not deal with the Demon Lotus Emperor, but neither could the Demon Lotus Emperor handle Donghua Sword Immortal. In the end, it was with the help of a Formation Master from the Hua Xia World that Donghua managed to kill the Demon Lotus Emperor with great difficulty. However, the Demon Lotus Emperor was not truly slain; having escaped beyond the Three Realms and outside of the Five Elements, it was impossible for him to die completely. Donghua pursued him into the fourth tier of the Spatial Plane, known as the Soul World.
In fact, within the Soul World, Donghua already knew that Wei Chen was the heir of the Demon Lotus Emperor, yet he did not kill Wei Chen. Instead, he waited for an opportunity. That opportunity would arise when Wei Chen was about to fully merge with the Demon Lotus Heart; Donghua intended to seize it at that moment. What he desired was nothing less than the Demon Lotus Heart itself.
He followed Wei Chen closely, acting as his master, though he had no good intentions at heart.
However, as he waited and waited, there were no signs of Wei Chen condensing the Demon Lotus Heart. In his frustration, Donghua's swordsmanship instead improved, leading him to comprehend the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin, which granted him a strong sense of confidence.
Once he obtained the Demon Lotus Heart from within Wei Chen's body, Donghua believed that with that resilient heart in hand, he could return to the Nine Immortal Realm and compete with the Jade Emperor on equal footing, even usurping his throne.
Yet, only a short time had passed. Logically speaking, the Demon Lotus Emperor still resided within Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness while Wei Chen trained in the Peach Blossom Sect. How could it be that inexplicably, the Demon Lotus Emperor had formed a physical body and restored his power?
Donghua was utterly perplexed.
Wei Chen had spent a hundred years in the Demon Realm, which counted as one year in the Soul World. However, Wei Chen had also traveled between the Nine Immortal Realm and Hua Xia World. Coupled with time in the Soul World not being significantly slower than that of other realms, several years had already passed within Soul World.
Seeing the Demon Lotus Emperor emerge, Donghua's expression turned cold as he gripped his treasured sword and approached without hesitation.
