Could it be Wei Chen?
Could it really be that guy, Wei Chen?
How is that possible?
How could it be?
Donghua was startled by his own thoughts. This was absurd; even if Wei Chen had encountered some fortuitous event and gone to the Demon Realm or the Nine Immortal Realm to cultivate, it couldn't have happened so quickly.
The time in the Demon Realm and the Nine Immortal Realm, at most, spanned a few hundred years. Could Wei Chen really have cultivated to the point of dominating the Demon Realm, the Nine Immortal Realm, and even the Hua Xia World across the Three Major Spatial Dimensions?
He would never believe it.
Donghua was deeply shaken; once that thought emerged, it lingered in his mind, refusing to dissipate.
"That guy Wei Chen has a strong Formation Assignment and is protected by the Demon Lotus Emperor's Demon Lotus Heart. His future achievements will surely be formidable, perhaps even reaching or surpassing the level of the former Demon Lotus Emperor. But that should be the limit, right?"
"I'm just scaring myself. How could such a thing happen? Integrating the Demon Realm, the Nine Immortal Realm, and the Hua Xia World across the Three Major Spatial Dimensions—what kind of concept is that?"
"At Wei Chen's age, it's absolutely impossible. The Dark Mage and Emperor Dayu have both submitted; what does that even mean?"
"Impossible, utterly impossible!"
Donghua forcefully suppressed his wild thoughts deep within himself, but once such a crazy idea surfaced, how could it be so easily contained?
Truly, sincerely, he couldn't suppress it.
Donghua's entire body trembled slightly; it was extreme shock.
He glanced at the Demon Lotus Emperor. From the expression on the Demon Lotus Emperor's face, he could discern a lot.
Donghua understood that his speculation was already infinitely close to the truth.
The Demon Lotus Emperor had come out this time, and it seemed he was not here to fight, but rather to watch Donghua make a fool of himself.
After a while, Donghua Sword Immortal managed to calm his emotions.
He squinted at the Demon Lotus Emperor and said lightly, "Demon Lotus Emperor, you came to see me embarrass myself, didn't you? If your goal was to see me humiliated, then clearly, you have succeeded."
Donghua felt extremely frustrated, but there was nothing he could do at this point.
Honestly, there was nothing good left.
If that powerful being truly was Wei Chen, then he didn't know what would become of his life. With the Demon Lotus Emperor appearing, Wei Chen might be watching from behind. In that case, the plan to seize the Demon Lotus Heart from within Wei Chen's body could not have escaped the Demon Lotus Emperor's notice. If that were true, could he still keep his life?
A chill ran through Donghua's heart.
The Demon Lotus Emperor looked at Donghua and said calmly, "You already have your answer deep down, don't you? I can only tell you that your guess is correct."
Upon hearing the Demon Lotus Emperor's words, Donghua narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "So he already knows my intentions of staying close to Wei Chen?"
"He has known for a long time; he knew even when he was in the Soul World," the Demon Lotus Emperor replied indifferently.
Donghua said, "Then there's nothing left to discuss. Let's fight. Although I haven't had enough time to cultivate my Warrior Realm skills, my swordsmanship has become more refined. Your strength is formidable; the aura around you makes me feel somewhat intimidated. I won't deny that. I don't understand what kind of power you possess; it seems like a completely new force. The spiritual energy of the Nine Immortal Realm and the Demonic Energy of the demon domain are not as strong as yours."
The Demon Lotus Emperor smiled and said, "This power is called Divine Power. With your current abilities, no matter how strong your swordsmanship is, you won't be able to break through my Divine Power defenses. Fighting me would be somewhat unfair for you."
As he spoke, the Demon Lotus Emperor summoned a sphere of Divine Power. A hazy mist gathered around him, giving him an otherworldly appearance.
Donghua's expression turned extremely serious as he sensed that perhaps he truly lacked the ability to break through such defenses.
Although Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin was powerful, it was heavily suppressed by the absolute strength of the Demon Lotus Emperor. How could he fight?
Donghua narrowed his eyes fiercely and declared, "Demon Lotus Emperor, no matter how strong you are, I will never surrender. I would rather die in battle than live in shame."
"Indeed, that is your nature; it is the dignity of being the strongest sword immortal. I respect your character. Even though we were on opposing sides back then, so many years have passed that I no longer care. For you as well—why bother worrying about so much?" The Demon Lotus Emperor said calmly.
Donghua paused, gazing deeply at the Demon Lotus Emperor, and asked, "What do you mean, Demon Lotus Emperor?"
"I mean, unleash your attack. I want to see just how powerful your Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin really is. I won't kill you, and Wei Chen certainly won't either. Your Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin is your lifeline. Wei Chen aims to unite all the worlds nearby; he needs every formidable cultivation method, just like Dazhi Zhi. Dazhi Zhi's Buddhist cultivation is strong, which is why he has survived. Wei Chen has given Dazhi Zhi ample freedom to choose where to spread his Buddhist teachings. The same applies to you; passing on your swordsmanship will aid our grand plan," the Demon Lotus Emperor explained.
Donghua pondered for a moment before frowning and asking, "What grand plan?"
"White Out. You aren't qualified to know that yet, so don't ask me. I won't tell you," the Demon Lotus Emperor replied.
After hearing this, Donghua fell silent.
After a long while, he lifted his head again and looked at the Demon Lotus Emperor. "You want to test my Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin?"
"It's not that I particularly want to; it's that the three hundred million Army above are eager to see what you're made of," the Demon Lotus Emperor said with a smile.
Donghua nodded firmly and said, "Then I'll oblige you."
With that, Donghua swiftly retreated a mile away, stabilizing himself just in time.
Immediately after, everyone in the Army above and within the Peach Blossom Sect saw Donghua's entire body radiating sword energy as his treasured sword shattered in an instant.
The shattered sword transformed into dust, but strangely, the drifting particles did not dissipate; instead, they were drawn together by a powerful sword energy, swirling around Donghua.
Next, everyone watched as all the sword dust coalesced into tangible sword energy under the influence of this immense force! Although Donghua's own energy reserves were insufficient, his mastery of swordsmanship earned him applause from the Army in the sky.
"Wow, it can condense sword energy like this—how refreshing!"
"No wonder he was once known as the strongest Sword Immortal Donghua; even though today's Warrior Realm is pitifully weak, his swordsmanship remains unmatched."
"I never even thought of such sword techniques—shattered swords forming new blades; what profound methods!"
"The mastery of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin is no joke. Even though Donghua's current Warrior Realm isn't strong, just relying on his swordsmanship is enough to make us so-called Immortal Emperors feel overwhelmed."
"Exactly! If it weren't for Great God Wei Chen giving us the Stellar Technique, we would definitely be no match for Donghua."
"I never expected that it was precisely because of the lack of absolute power that Donghua achieved mastery in the sword path, reaching the realm of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!"
"The saying 'one must break before they can stand' probably means just that. Donghua's strength lies in his mindset, in his deep love for the sword, something we cannot compare to."
"Yes, that's right. But his opponent is the Demon Lotus Emperor from the Hua Xia World. There's no suspense; he definitely won't be able to break through the Divine Power defense of the Demon Lotus Emperor."
"It seems that the Demon Lotus Emperor is deliberately standing there for him to try. Back in the day, Donghua Sword Immortal and the Demon Lotus Emperor fought fiercely in the Hua Xia World; they are old rivals, and from another perspective, they could also be considered old friends."
"You don't get to know someone without fighting them. The Demon Lotus Emperor is a magnanimous person, and Great God Wei Chen is secretly steering things behind the scenes. Donghua will be fine."
"When Donghua joins us, I want to consult him about some confusions I have regarding swordsmanship."
"I feel the same way."
The Immortal Emperors of the Nine Immortal Realm whispered among themselves, filled with anticipation for Donghua's Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin sword aura.
Most of the Immortal Emperors within the Nine Immortal Realm, led by the Jade Emperor, are sword cultivators. Donghua was once the strongest Sword Immortal, and now he has left those Immortal Emperors in awe and admiration.
On the side of the Demon Domain, there are also quite a few sword cultivators.
They watched Donghua's actions intently, secretly evolving his sword aura in their minds, seeking to comprehend his sword intent.
The realm of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin is an incredibly powerful one; even just watching from a distance can provide insights and realizations.
Within the Peach Blossom Sect, upon seeing Donghua make his move, those who were unclear about what was happening began to anticipate. The visible Army in the sky was something that the entire Soul World could not withstand; they merely hoped that Donghua could manage to win a single battle.
Only a very few people, like Ni Junlin, knew Donghua's true capabilities and understood the background of the Demon Lotus Emperor. They held no hope for Donghua. Ni Junlin speculated that all of this was arranged by Wei Chen, who must be quietly observing from within the Army.
If it weren't for Wei Chen's support behind the scenes, the Demon Lotus Emperor wouldn't be standing there for Donghua to strike at. From his posture, it was clear that he didn't care about Donghua Sword Immortal's formidable swordsmanship; he merely condensed a layer of power defense on his body. Yet that layer of defensive power was already astonishing enough.
Around Donghua, swords that had turned to dust gradually transformed into countless substantial sword auras, densely covering the area. What was this? It was not merely Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin; it was hundreds of thousands or even millions of sword auras!
Centered around Donghua's body within a radius of one mile, sword shadows flickered and a chilling aura surged forth.
Donghua's body seemed to transform into a sword, driving the surrounding sword energy into a frenzied whirl.
Seeing this scene, the Demon Lotus Emperor's expression changed slightly, and he was astonished inwardly: "So strong? This Fellow Donghua has surpassed the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin by a great margin; he is almost reaching the ultimate realm of swordsmanship, the unity of man and sword!"
The swordsmanship experts in the sky were equally dumbfounded.
"What’s happening? Am I seeing things? Donghua's body has almost turned into a sword?"
"I'm not mistaken; it really is! What an impressive Donghua, he is nearing the ultimate realm of unity between man and sword. Truly a genius of swordsmanship!"
"I never expected that this Fellow Donghua, despite losing his martial artist powers, has reached such heights in swordsmanship that we can only look up to him."
Those who practiced swordsmanship knew that the unity of man and sword, where the body becomes the sword and the mind embodies the sword, represented the pinnacle of swordsmanship—something that existed only in legends. Unless one used some special methods, like when the Jade Emperor fought against the Dark Mage and barely reached the level of unity with his divine sword, otherwise, true unity was merely a mythical concept.
Even Wei Chen couldn't help but hold his breath in concentration. Although he was not a swordsman, he felt an uncontrollable surge of excitement at such powerful sword techniques!
"Donghua Sword Immortal truly lives up to the title of Sword Immortal!"
Under everyone's watchful gaze, Donghua's "body," that seemingly real yet illusory sword, suddenly moved.
The sword energy surrounding him surged wildly as his "body" moved, coalescing into a massive sword that enveloped him and fiercely charged toward the Demon Lotus Emperor!
