Legend of Swordsman

In the Higher Heavens, as if hearing Jian Wushuang's words, the power of Death erupted from Mie Sheng, eager to shatter the Higher Heavens and seize Jian Wushuang at once.

"Getting impatient, aren't we?" Jian Wushuang shook his head and laughed heartily.

Boom!

However, he didn't anticipate the complete fury of Mie Sheng in the Higher Heavens.

Waves of Death's power descended, coalescing into numerous embodiments of Mie Sheng.

"Jian Wushuang!!!"

These black phantoms each possessed supreme-peak strength.

Initially startled, Jian Wushuang quickly realized that these black phantoms were all manifestations of Death's power. Despite their supreme-peak strength, they couldn't last, posing no real threat to him.

"Mie Sheng, your plan is perfect, but you overlooked one thing!" Jian Wushuang stood on the mountain peak, overlooking countless black phantoms fusing together, while their aura continued to grow stronger.

Yet, Jian Wushuang remained completely unfazed.

Even when fused, Mie Sheng was still just Mie Sheng.

After borrowing the power of the Starry Sky from the Higher Heavens, Jian Wushuang could instantly reach the Tribulation realm.

Here, Jian Wushuang was unyielding against Mie Sheng.

The fused Mie Sheng's expression changed, surprised as he asked, "Where did I go wrong?"

"You should know I've been to the Starry Sky, but you'd never guess my true identity amidst the Starry Sky!" Jian Wushuang looked down with a cold smile.

Mie Sheng squinted his eyes and sneered, "Oh? Is that so!"

"Even if you have a connection with Dong Jun, I don't care, because Dong Jun is already dead!"

"Dong Jun?" Jian Wushuang raised his head, confirming his earlier speculation that Dong Jun had indeed fallen to Mie Sheng.

Mie Sheng continued, "You do know about Dong Jun. Besides him, I doubt anyone could keep you so composed. Now, understand this: in the Higher Heavens, I stand alone. No one can save you!"

"You actually managed to kill Dong Jun!" Jian Wushuang feigned astonishment.

He actually knew very little about the Starry Sky human tribe because, at the time, the tribe was too weak, and he didn't bother to pay any attention to them.

So, taking the opportunity to probe Mie Sheng, he wanted to understand more about how the Starry Sky human tribe within the Higher Heavens had perished or what their strength was like.

Seeing Jian Wushuang's astonishment, Mie Sheng sneered, "Do you really think Dong Jun is powerful? Compared to the Starry Sky, he's nothing more than a worm. I am the true ruler of the Starry Sky, the chosen one of the human tribe!"

"Humph, I don't believe it!" Jian Wushuang's expression slightly darkened, and he continued, "With Dong Jun's strength being so formidable, how could he lose to someone at the Six Tribulation realm like you?"

Upon hearing this, Mie Sheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Yes, indeed, the Six Tribulation realm is not Dong Jun's match. Even Qishen is not Dong Jun's opponent. But I'm at the Nine Tribulation realm, whether you believe it or not!" Mie Sheng raised a finger, pointing at Jian Wushuang.

Jian Wushuang didn't dodge or evade, calmly dissolving the aura with just a glance, and sarcastically said, "If you're at the Nine Tribulation realm, do you still need to devour the power of Life? Haven't you long since mastered the control of time and freely traveled through it?"

His words shattered Mie Sheng's lie.

There was no need to pretend in front of him.

Exposed, Mie Sheng's face drastically changed, angrily shouting, "Kid, you dare to deceive me!"

He now realized that Jian Wushuang had already uncovered his previous schemes.

Without hesitation, Mie Sheng directly took action, condensing the body of Death, transforming into black mist that instantly corroded the heavens and earth, causing the entire space to lose the power of All Things.

Utter and complete Death—a desolate scene unfolded.

Jian Wushuang remained unmoved.

"Eternal Ancient Transformation!"

Under the Higher Heavens, he was invincible.

Because under the Higher Heavens, there was an immense force of the Starry Sky, continuously descending into Jian Wushuang's body, allowing him to instantly reach the strength of the Tribulation realm.

This scene stunned Mie Sheng; he hadn't expected Jian Wushuang to harness the power of the Higher Heavens and become so powerful.

His true form within the Higher Heavens was equally formidable.

This was a unique power of life forms from the Starry Sky, yet Jian Wushuang somehow mastered it and to such a powerful extent.

"What cultivation realm do you occupy in the Starry Sky?" Mie Sheng couldn't help but ask.

Jian Wushuang, however, remained silent and directly attacked.

He didn't want to say more to Mie Sheng; otherwise, he might be manipulated by the opponent.

Immediately, he exerted full force. Facing the embodiment of Death, his power of Life erupted fiercely. The Life power mastered at the Tribulation realm directly dispersed the aura of Death.

Mie Sheng's consciousness also instantly collapsed.

In the moment of his defeat, Jian Wushuang seized the remaining consciousness of Mie Sheng.

"Still want to escape?" Holding the shattered consciousness of the opponent, Jian Wushuang directly sealed it in the temporal river of the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard.

After Mie Sheng's consciousness entered the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed incredulously, "How do you have a Temporal Treasure?"

"I can't tell you that!" Jian Wushuang said, and he directly suppressed Mie Sheng's remaining consciousness at the bottom of the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard's temporal river.

In the Origin Source Sea within his body, Jian Wushuang also seized the Death power left by Mie Sheng.

"Hmph, now you've lost both the wife and the soldiers!"

With the consciousness of Mie Sheng and the power of Death, he could create Mie Sheng's avatar. Mie Sheng could devour him, and he could also devour Mie Sheng.

This presented a great opportunity for him, but obtaining it was exceedingly difficult.

Now that Mie Sheng had fallen into the trap he personally set, Jian Wushuang only needed an avatar to devour Mie Sheng's avatar, allowing him to grasp the cycle of reincarnation ahead of time.

However, he had to wait until he reached the cultivation realm of Emperor to achieve this.

The complete cycle of reincarnation contained a formidable power, not inferior to the power of the temporal river.

If Jian Wushuang could reach the Nine Tribulation realm in the future, he would be able to master two types of abilities: time and space, and reincarnation.

The combination of the two would result in the cycle of time and space, a power much stronger than time alone.

Thinking about this, Jian Wushuang felt a surge of excitement.

"Tsk tsk, Mie Sheng, I won't give you another chance!" Jian Wushuang decided to leave.

When he reached the temporal vortex, he would no longer explore those fragments, insisting on moving forward.

However, the current fragment was not completely consumed, so he still needed to wait here.

In the Higher Heavens, Mie Sheng, with a stern expression, stared at Jian Wushuang below.

"How could he know!"

As Jian Wushuang had said, once he mastered the power of reincarnation first, Mie Sheng's chances would be slim. But now, despite using all available methods, Mie Sheng couldn't defeat Jian Wushuang.

"Master, it seems I'm destined to lose in this life!" Mie Sheng slowly closed his eyes, and the figure of his master appeared in his mind.

That was the true Lord of Death.

A colorful and vibrant corpse - that was Mie Sheng's master.

This corpse had entered the Starry Sky at an unknown time and had completely disappeared at some point.
