Eternal Reverence

In the outside world, the Lord Rankings would appear from time to time. Each time it appeared, it meant that an unparalleled lord had fallen and a pinnacle lord had replaced the empty slot.

Too many unparalleled lords had perished in the Water God Tomb. There were at least 20 if not 30 dead unparalleled lords.

Once an unparalleled lord perished, there was naturally an empty slot in the Lord Rankings. Those empty slots could only be filled up by pinnacle lords.

After all, not everyone was like Li Fuchen who could use his absolute qi presence to forcefully barge onto the 99th rank of the Lord Rankings.

In fact, some of the lower ranked lords were actually on par with some of the stronger pinnacle lords. It was only a difference in qi presence.

Some of the stronger pinnacle lords were actually stronger than those normal unparalleled lords, therefore, even if they were to fill up the spaces in the Lord Rankings, it would be undermining the Lord Rankings.

After leaving the Water God Tomb, Li Fuchen used the Sword Radiance City as a transfer station to teleport to another class 1 branch, Scarlet Sword City.

The Scarlet Sword City had an unparalleled lord called the Scarlet Fire Sword Progenitor.

The Scarlet Fire Sword Progenitor was the no.1 swordsmith under the half-gods. His pinnacle work was a tier 7 extreme-grade artifact sword, the Scarlet Sword.

The Scarlet Sword was also the symbol of the Scarlet Sword City. It was one of the main reasons why the Scarlet Sword City was given its name.

Li Fuchen didn't have wild wishes to forge a tier 7 extreme-grade artifact sword. To him, a tier 5 extreme-grade artifact sword was enough. It was enough to increase his strength by 10 times.

Li Fuchen was a headquarters elder and also an unparalleled lord, requesting to meet the Scarlet Fire Sword Progenitor was rather easy.

"Primary Extreme Lord, this is a long-awaited meeting." The Scarlet Fire Sword Progenitor smiled at Li Fuchen as he was waiting in the Scarlet Fire Sword Manor.

It was publicly known in the Swordsmen Guild that Li Fuchen was one of the Children of Universe and no one was to snub him.

"Greetings to the Scarlet Fire Sword Progenitor." Li Fuchen greeted the Scarlet Fire Sword Progenitor with a bow.

The Scarlet Fire Sword Progenitor waved his hand, "If you are looking for me, you must want me to forge a sword right? Let me make things clear first. For me to forge a sword, you need to provide divine metal, a forge fee of 300 billion peak-grade spirit stones, and 30,000 elder points."

He treated everyone in the Swordsmen Guild equally. However, it was only on the surface. He still had plenty of jobs accumulated, but if Li Fuchen wanted to forge a sword, he could put Li Fuchen's job at the front and let others wait first.

"Alright, no problem."

This price wasn't a problem. Before entering the Water God Tomb, 300 billion peak-grade spirit stones might be a huge sum for him, but now, it was just a small amount. 30,000 elder points were considered nothing for him too.

"Alright then, show me your divine metal." The Scarlet Fire Sword Progenitor was looking forward to seeing Li Fuchen's divine metal.

In the universe, there were all sorts of divine metals. The more precious it was, it would allow a stronger extreme-grade artifact sword to be forged.

"Here." Li Fuchen gave a small mountain-sized piece of divine metal.

"This is… the Chaos Mother Copper" The Scarlet Fire Sword Progenitor's eyes widened.

"Kid, you are really lucky. The Chaos Mother Copper is one of the top 10 divine metals in the universe. It is extremely rare and I didn't expect you to provide such a huge piece."

"Is it enough?" Li Fuchen asked.

The Scarlet Fire Sword Progenitor said, "Hearing your question, I know that you are an amatuer. When forging a weapon, there isn't such a thing as enough. The lesser the amount, the weaker the final product. The more the amount, the stronger the final product. So, how many Chaos Mother Copper are you planning to use for the sword forging?"

"Naturally all of it."

"Alright, leave it to me then. 500 years, no, come back to collect the sword embryo."

The Scarlet Fire Sword Progenitor was just helping to forge a sword, not a completed sword. He was going to forge the perfect sword embryo and allow the owner to personally insert the sword patterns. Of course, if the requestor didn't mind, he could personally insert a sword pattern on behalf of the owner. His proficiency on sword patterns was also extremely high, however, there would be an additional fee for the insertion of sword pattern. Moreover, by inserting one's own sword pattern, it would be the most suitable for the owner. There was rarely anyone who would request for the Scarlet Fire Sword Progenitor to insert the sword pattern on their behalf.

"Then I shall thank the Scarlet Fire Sword Progenitor."

1000 years was a very fast time. Li Fuchen was going to return back to the Deep Blue Plane immediately to continue comprehending the World Fruit.

If his Primary Extreme Sword Art was at a higher level, his primary extreme sword pattern would also be stronger. After inserting it in the sword embryo, it would form a higher tier of artifact sword.

After bidding farewell to the Scarlet Fire Sword Progenitor, Li Fuchen explored the Scarlet Sword City for a moment before leaving.

…

500 years flew by quickly.

As for the disaster that happened in the Water God Tomb, it had already been forgotten with time, and peace had returned. Everyone would only mention it when they were gathered.

In the Deep Blue Plane, Li Fuchen had been seated on the World Fruit for 500 years and quietly comprehending world law.

One could realize there was concentrated sword dao law power emitted from the World Fruit and it was blending into Li Fuchen's qi presence.

On the other side, there was also immortal law power emitting from the World Fruit and blending into the Immortal Lord's qi presence. However, as compared to the sword dao law power, the immortal law power was diluted.

"Dao births universe, universe births yin and yang, yin and ying births life, life births all. The same applies to sword dao."

As Li Fuchen's comprehension got deeper, it caused the entire World Fruit to tremble lightly. Concentrated sword dao law power was nearly materializing and revolving around Li Fuchen.

"Such a terrifying perception!" The Immortal Lord awakened from his comprehension state and was looking at Li Fuchen with shock.

As compared to Li Fuchen, his comprehension was 1000 or even 10,000 times weaker. There was no way to even make a comprehension.

All of a sudden, the Immortal Lord's face flashed with intensified astonishment. He saw Li Fuchen's body gradually become illusory before he sank into the World Fruit.

"What is going on?"

The Immortal Lord was still young and didn't know much about the World Fruit or what was going on.

"Could it be that the Primary Extreme Lord obtained the approval of the World Fruit?" The Immortal Lord reckoned.

The Immortal Lord's guess wasn't wrong. Li Fuchen had obtained the approval of the World Fruit. After entering the World Fruit, Li Fuchen discovered an entirely new world. It was an orderly world in chaos, it was a world that was about to open. It was a process that could only be witnessed when a new plane was being born.

As compared to planes, there were other hidden domains, unique spatial zones, but they weren't considered completed worlds. They could only be considered a law space.

As for planes, they were also called plane worlds where life was produced.

Before this, Li Fuchen was observing the outside world from the out, but now, he was observing the world from the inside. Be it the observation angle or depth, there was a tremendous difference.

"The World Fruit is truly incredible. Such distinct law power."

Li Fuchen saw threads that were forming runes. These were heaven and earth runs, world runes that contained mystic and truth.

Soon enough, Li Fuchen found the sword dao threads, sword dao runes.

"Comprehending sword dao here is at least dozens of times faster than outside!" Li Fuchen was filled with expectations as he started the comprehension.

100 years later, a terrifying qi presence burst out from Li Fuchen's body.

In the outside world, the Lord Rankings descended. Li Fuchen's ranking immediately rose from 99th rank to 12th rank.

Be it a breakthrough in sword art or sword technique, there was a significant increase in qi presence. After all, both sword art and sword technique were connected with large amounts of sword dao source energy and sword dao source essence. It allowed the sword dao bloodline to become stronger.

"He broke through again!" The Immortal Lord was speechless.

Everyone said he was a prodigy in the Crosswise River Star Domain, but as compared to Li Fuchen, he couldn't even be considered mediocre.

"12th rank?" In the Crosswise River City, the Crosswise River Primogenitor's eyes burst out with radiance.

"This child must not be provoked." After letting out a breath, the radiance in the Crosswise River Primogenitor's eyes faded and was left with apprehension.

He might not have any feuds with Li Fuchen and actually had favorable ties, but they were from the same star domain. Both their lifespans were going to last for eternity. It was unknown what might happen in the future.

"It seems like I have been too passive for countless years. There is a saying that living in worry is worse than dying in peace."

The Crosswise River Primogenitor had decided to venture out. With his strength, he could even contest with normal unparalleled lords. There wasn't a need to worry about everything.

Inside the Divine Leaf City, the Blood Ax Lord had an extremely complicated expression.

When Li Fuchen had just become a lord, he was preparing to build good ties with Li Fuchen. When Li Fuchen became an unparalleled lord, he would be as qualified to initiate things with Li Fuchen. Right now, he was completely unqualified to speak with Li Fuchen, after all, Li Fuchen didn't owe him anything.

It would be a joke to use the Undying Legion as his backer, as Li Fuchen's backer was the Swordsmen Guild that was stronger than the Undying Legion.

"What if he asks me to hand over the Divine Leaf City?" The Blood Ax Lord had a sudden flash of thought.

The Divine Leaf City had the Swordsmen Guild and also the World Leaf. It was hard to say if Li Fuchen would have any ideas.

"There shouldn't be a problem. With the support of the Divine Leaf City's array, I might not be weaker than him. Furthermore, I still have my trump, the Spear of Undying."

When thinking of the Spear of Undying, the Blood Ax Lord was slightly at ease.

On this day, in all parts of the universe, the name of the Primary Extreme Lord had been circulated. There were some apex unparalleled lords that didn't bother about Li Fuchen at first, but now, they are starting to pay attention. To be 12th rank on the Lord Rankings, it meant that Li Fuchen was also among the apex unparalleled lords and was on the same level with them.

"Among the Children of Universe, the Primary Extreme Lord is definitely an anomaly."

In the Swordsmen Guild, all the lords were shocked.

"This is the power of a late-stage, star domain-level sword art?"

In the past, Li Fuchen's sword art was only able to draw some sword dao source essence. Right now, it could draw huge amounts of sword dao source essence. Furthermore, there was a constant supply of sword dao source essence blending into Li Fuchen's body and strengthening his sword dao bloodline.

"The arris light motherstone contains the time source essence. If my sword art reaches the perfection-stage of star domain-level, the sword art itself is a universe treasure."

Li Fuchen had a weird idea that flashed in his mind.
