Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2421: Sword God (1)



Long Xi shook her head at the question. "Unfortunately, no, Uncle Mo."

Mo Jianli stroked his beard and said, "This means their legacies have fallen into someone's hands."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Long Xi furrowed her brow slightly and said, "Could it be...?"

She began to recount the situation she knew about Fan Shen.

Mo Jianli nodded slightly. "That's what I've thought. However, there's something strange here. Assuming the remaining legacies are in the God of Mortals' hands, how could their previous inheritors still be alive? I think they must be in the hands of someone else."

Long Xi suddenly thought of Yue Yun's identity. Perhaps the legacies of the remaining Primordial Gods were with the mysterious person behind Yue Yun.

Mo Jianli looked at her and said, "It seems you know something."

Long Xi was about to say something but was interrupted by Mo Jianli.

"No need to tell me," he said. "Go back and recuperate. Leave this place to me."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Mo," Long Xi said solemnly.

Mo Jianli smiled and said, "There's no need to say that. Junyi brought me back for this reason. This is my duty."

Long Xi was slightly surprised. She always thought that the inheritor of the God of Death, Si Junyi, had a grand ambition to rule the Primal Chaos, but it seemed to be different.

"He's also a pitiful child... Just like Yun Lintian. He cannot avoid his destiny." Mo Jianli sighed softly.

"Uncle Mo, the God of Death's hand is living with us right now. Could it be he...?" Long Xi was extremely curious about the God of Death's status. Since his hand was still alive, there was a high chance that he was also still alive.

"What do you think about death?" Mo Jianli said with a smile.

Long Xi's eyes flickered with surprise. She immediately understood the underlying message from Mo Jianli - how could death be deader?

Inside the inner zone of the Ancient Battlefield, Fan Shen sat in front of the tunnel, staring into the endless void.

Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Unfortunately, it failed."

Standing below him was a beautiful young woman dressed in a pristine white robe. Her face was emotionless, as if she had no feelings.

Fan Shen looked at her and asked, "How is your progress?"

The young woman raised her hand, and a ball of light appeared, illuminating the entire space. Fan Shen smiled and said, "Not bad. You've successfully refined more than half of Xi Yao's power. As long as you continue, you will become the new God of Light without a problem." The young woman retracted her hand and remained silent.

Fan Shen turned back to the endless void and said, "Your Senior Brother is here. It's your chance to defeat him again."

"Understood, Master."

A male voice resounded from behind as a young man stepped forward. He was none other than the second-generation Sword God Emperor, Qin Juhai, who had fled from the Divine Realm and come here to search for his opportunity.

Fortunately for him, he was recruited by Fan Shen and underwent a million years of training in the time realm. He had now become a True God-a new Sword God.

"Don't let me down. I've spent quite a few resources on you," Fan Shen said calmly.

"I won't let you down, Master," Qin Juehai said respectfully and left.

"He's weak," the young woman suddenly spoke as Qin Juhai disappeared.

"That's why he's a pawn," Fan Shen said, closing his eyes. "The duty of a pawn like him is to die for his general."

His voice was calm and indifferent, yet it sent a chill running down one's spine.

Outside the barrier of the inner zone, He Chong and the others built a temporary camp to rest in while waiting for the mysterious figure to recover.

"I don't know how he is right now," He Chong sighed as he looked at the prison. He was worried about Yun Lintian.

The other Ancient True Gods offered no comment. Their minds were occupied by the possibility of a second Primordial War. This time, it wouldn't be just the Primordial Gods involved, but rather the Primal Chaos versus the outlaws. The scale of the battle would be immense, involving every single living being in the Primal Chaos.

The God Tomb was nowhere to be seen. They could no longer repeat the same trick and hide inside the tomb, waiting for the calamity to pass. This time, they had to prepare to fight.

At this moment, the mysterious figure opened his eyes and got up from the ground, turning to look at the newcomer who had just appeared.

"Long time no see, Senior Brother," Qin Juehai said with a smile. His appearance had reverted to his youth, when he first entered the sect.

The mysterious figure stared at him for a moment and said, "You're not my opponent. Leave."

Qin Juehai's smile vanished upon hearing this. His face darkened as he uttered coldly, "You are still as arrogant as ever. You always looked down on me. Have you forgotten what happened back then? I defeated you once, and I will do it again right here."

He paused briefly and continued, "Although I don't quite understand why you left your avatar in the Divine Realm, I don't think the two of you are any different. Your arrogant statement earlier has just proven it."

Qin Juehai opened his palms, and blue and white swords appeared in his hands. They were the famous Rain and Cloud Swords that his Senior Brother, Jian Yun, once wielded.

"Do you remember these swords?" he said coldly. "They belong to me now. And I will use them to taste the blood of their former owner."

The mysterious figure remained silent for a moment and raised his hand. Instantly, the

Heaven Piercing Sword flew over, allowing him to grasp its hilt.

Qin Juehai narrowed his eyes as he stared at the Heaven Piercing Sword. "What an

extraordinary sword. That's good, as I'm looking for a new sword lately."

He cast his gaze onto He Chong and the others and said coldly, "Insignificant ants should stay

away. Don't say I didn't warn you."

"How arrogant," the female Ancient True God uttered coldly.

He Chong furrowed his brow and turned to look at the mysterious figure. "Senior..."

"Stay away from this," the mysterious figure responded gently.

He Chong and the others exchanged glances and retreated a few hundred kilometers away.

"Show me what you've got, Senior Brother," Qin Juehai said with a smile, his swords glowing with a terrifying light.
