Legend of Swordsman

The past, present, and future.

The details of which need not be elaborated, for his existence spanned only a few epochs, not yet reaching the point of dimmed eyes and forgotten past. In the present, he was acutely aware, understanding the purpose he must pursue.

However, the future was a different story. The uncontrollable future filled him with despair.

The failure of the Dao Merge, the destruction of the Qishen Temple, and the impending annihilation of the entire temporal river.

The dreadfulness of Mie Sheng surpassed his imagination.

"I cannot fail!" Jian Wushuang's expression was serious, the determination in his eyes as pure as his swordsmanship.

His future self had fallen, but his present self would not allow his future to become a pitiful sight.

He not only needed to succeed in the Dao Merge but also to slay anyone standing in his way.

Mie Sheng, a half-step into the realm of the Seven Tribulation realm!

Even Mie Sheng will not stop him.

Once he succeeded in the Dao Merge, he would choose to leave the Qishen Temple, departing from this spacetime.

At least, the current Zhen Ling could be trusted.

In the future, Zhen Ling would bring about the downfall of the Qishen Temple, perhaps due to some unforeseen circumstances.

Otherwise, with the nature of Zhen Ling, even if there was a certain connection between the Qishen and Mie Sheng, Zhen Ling would not surrender without a fight.

Because the birth of Zhen Ling and the inherited will were as unyielding as steel.

In the eyes of Zhen Ling, Qishen was a god, forsaking his own Dao for the sake of the Moro Spacetime, ultimately falling like a hero.

Certainly not a villain.

However, the truth revealed that the initial Qishen was probably, in fact, a villain, willing to destroy the entire Moro timeline for the sake of surviving a little longer.

Regardless of the circumstances, seizing the moment while Zhen Ling has not yet betrayed, Jian Wushuang needed to act quickly.

Bathed in radiance, Jian Wushuang entered a vast void.

This was a peculiar place within the temporal river.

"Moro Temporal River?" Jian Wushuang frowned slightly, his voice trembling, and his hands shaking.

This time, he saw the ancient Moro Temporal River.

It was a wide and majestic river.

Within the river flowed countless powerful beings and numerous universes.

As he carefully observed, a strange laughter interrupted Jian Wushuang.

"Hehe..."

Jian Wushuang turned to look, and a twisted and changing evil spirit was staring at him.

Countless ugly faces had two eyes each, staring fixedly at him.

"It's you!"

Jian Wushuang looked at the grotesque evil spirit in surprise.

The evil spirit, with numerous lips torn apart, collectively emitted a hoarse voice, "Do you know me?"

"Heart Demon!"

Jian Wushuang's heart sank; indeed, he had been schemed against.

The Five Demon Lords: Shan Jun, Blood Demon, Ten-Thousand Demon, Heart Demon, and Wind Demon.

He had encountered two of the first three, and the remaining two, he hadn't paid much attention to, only knowing that they were taken away by Mie Sheng.

Unexpectedly, the Heart Demon was now within him.

"Are you Mie Sheng or Heart Demon?" Jian Wushuang asked directly, without any ambiguity.

The probability was high that the other party was manipulated by Mie Sheng, just like Broly.

But what surprised Jian Wushuang was that this time, Heart Demon seemed to be stunned, as if it didn't recognize Mie Sheng at all.

Splash!

Heart Demon transformed from the evil spirit in Jian Wushuang's heart into a red-haired man, with an exceptionally beautiful face and flowing red hair.

"Mie Sheng? What's that?" Jian Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief; not knowing Mie Sheng was a good thing.

Without Mie Sheng's manipulation, even if the opponent was one of the Five Demons, he was not afraid.

"He is an extraordinary existence, too bad you don't know him!"

Since the other party had no connection to Mie Sheng, Jian Wushuang could ease up and engage in conversation.

Why did this great Demon Lord choose to reside within him, and why did they completely merge with the karma calamity?

When did they set their sights on him?

The demonic voice, after hearing this, sneered arrogantly, "You, a little brat, understand what's remarkable?"

"Do you know who my true self is?" The demonic voice seemed a bit arrogant, which didn't quite match his name.

According to common sense, shouldn't the demonic voice be his own greatest fear?

Why does the other party seem a bit foolish?

Jian Wushuang deliberately showed a curious expression and asked, "Oh! I really don't know. Can you enlighten me on what is so remarkable?"

"The remarkable existence is right in front of you!" The demonic voice pinched his nose and continued, "Have you encountered Shan Jun or the Blood Demon? Do you know what sets me apart from those fools?"

"I don't know!" Jian Wushuang shook his head.

He increasingly felt that this guy must be crazy.

The demonic voice gloated, "Those fools only understand raw power, but they don't know that the most powerful force in this world is the power of the Heart. The Heart power of the sixth level is even stronger than the cosmic space!"

"Really?" Jian Wushuang exclaimed, "Since that's the case, why did you choose to reside in my body?"

Upon hearing Jian Wushuang's confusion, a satisfied expression appeared on the demonic voice's face.

"That's the Heart power. You are my best host. I set my eyes on you when you entered the Qishen Temple. Only you can nurture my strongest intellect. Speaking of which, I have to thank you!" The demonic voice laughed maniacally.

When Jian Wushuang entered the Qishen Temple, he was targeted by the demonic voice. The karma calamity was actually quite ordinary, just a small tribulation for the universe and all things.

But with the addition of the demonic voice, this tribulation became formidable.

Moreover, the power of the current karma calamity had surpassed the scope of the Emperor and resembled more of a tribulation at the supreme-peak!

"So that's how it is!" Jian Wushuang nodded. No wonder the stronger he became, the stronger the karma-killing calamity within his body became.

It turned out the demonic voice was behind it all.

Now that he knew the answer, he felt quite relaxed because, for him, this tribulation was not a bad thing.

Upon entering this spatial realm, his state of mind suddenly ascended. It was the power left behind by the Heart Demon. Drawing from this power, his Heart power subtly began to loosen.

The sixth level of the Heart power.

Complete Dao Heart!

This was an opportunity that one could hardly come across, let alone seek.

"What's your plan for me next?" Jian Wushuang asked tentatively.

Although the strength of the Heart Demon was considerable, comparable to Shan Jun, it fell short when dealing with him in his current state.

If a direct confrontation were to occur, the Heart Demon wouldn't stand a chance.

"What should I do? Of course, I'll kill you!" The complexion of the Heart Demon changed, and he gathered immense Heart power in his hands, captivating the soul.

Jian Wushuang's expression changed. With the means to counteract, he covered his chest with his palm, trembling as he said, "How could you possibly..."

"How... could you be so weak!" Jian Wushuang instantly restored to his peak, straightening his body.

The methods of the Heart Demon were utterly incapable of threatening him.

This time, it was the Heart Demon who was shocked.

He stared at Jian Wushuang in terror, unable to believe it. "How is this possible?"

In his eyes, Jian Wushuang's Heart power was only at the fifth level, far from achieving the complete Dao Heart. How could he withstand the power of the Heart Demon?
