Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

"What I'm about to say will be harsh, but it's the truth. If he comes, do you guys think you'll have the chance to stand in the spotlight?"

The moment he said those words, every Prodigy's expression turned grim.

Master Han Long was quite frank with his words, but it was true.

After all, everyone present had experienced the Heavenly Sword's power before.

Despite facing off with more than half of the Heavenly God Leaderboard's top ten alone, that person not only won but even became the first on the leaderboard. The Heavenly Sword's power had long surpassed everyone else's.

Even the prideful Di Qianqiu could not help but acknowledge that the Heavenly Sword was his greatest opponent in this life!

"Wow. Now I'm truly interested in this Heavenly Sword whom you guys are talking about," a young man in black robes said with a chuckle.

His name was Ye Hao, and he was an Ancient Prodigy from the Dao King Tribe who had just awakened!

His strength was not to be underestimated too. Although everyone had not seen him fight, they could sense a threat from him.

He was clearly a powerful cultivator.

"Trust me, you don't want to fight him," Wu Tianming said calmly.

His words did nothing to make Ye Hao wary. Instead, it made the latter even more interested in the Heavenly Sword.

Besides Ye Hao, a bunch of Prodigies who had just awakened were also present. They, too, were incredibly interested in the Heavenly Sword, whose fame was well known throughout the Central Heaven Universe.

"The era, in which I went into slumber, is long gone. It seems like everyone in this era has forgotten my glory and might."

"Oh, perhaps this Heavenly Sword can be my stepping stone to something greater. Then, my fame shall be known throughout the whole of Central Heaven Universe!"

"The Heavenly Sword, huh? How exciting."

The Ancient Prodigies were filled with excitement.

They were the trendsetters of their era. Filled with utmost pride, they would never allow anyone else to overshadow them in terms of fame and power.

Even if the world was familiar with the Heavenly Sword's might, they would never give up their intentions of fighting him.

Not only did it apply to the Heavenly Sword, but from their perspective, the sky-prides of this era were also stepping stones for them to build their fame and reach the precipice of power.

Only nine cultivators could become the Nine Kings!

Besides, every era would have its respective sky-prides and Prodigies, and only the best of the best could ever hope to stand out. After all, the path to greatness had always been paved with the skulls of the defeated.

Everyone discussed for a while before entering the Central Heaven Temple.

However, those cultivators were only the first batch to enter. After them, several cultivators also arrived at the Central Heaven Temple to take the assessment.

…

Somewhere on the Ancient Central Heaven Planet, inside a hidden secluded space, Chu Kuangren slowly stood up. He then stepped forward, tearing apart the void and exiting his closed-door meditation.

He traveled to space and released his Immortal Consciousness. Everything happening in the world was clear to his senses, and information about the Central Heaven Temple soon reached him too.

Then, he took out a jade scroll.

The jade scroll contained messages sent to him by Ling Fei, Han Xingyu, Luo Xue, and a few of his other subordinates. Even Feng Qiyu had left him a message.

After all, now that they had become allies, staying in contact was necessary.

"Have they all gone to the Central Heaven Temple? How interesting," Chu Kuangren mumbled.

He was also a little interested and wanted to check out that ancient temple.

Maybe he might encounter a few worthy opponents along the way. After all, he needed a few guinea pigs to test his newly acquired strength.

…

Outside the Central Heaven Temple, in an open space before the entrance, countless sky-prides and Prodigies had gathered and were waiting for the new round of assessment to start.

Luo Xue, Han Xingyu, Ling Fei, and others were among them.

Boom!

At that moment, a powerful aura appeared from afar. It was followed by terrifying bursts of sword qi, so terrifying that the surrounding planets trembled.

"This aura…"

Luo Xue's expression changed.

From that lethal sword aura, she could feel a sense of threat she had not felt for a long time now.

Among the younger generation, no one other than her and the much stronger Heavenly Sword possessed such high Sword Dao cultivation.

However, that sword aura did not belong to the Heavenly Sword.

A swordsman dressed in black robes and holding a black sword gradually approached from the far end of space. His chilling sword aura instantly enveloped the area.

Everyone at the scene could feel that looming aura approaching!

"What a terrifying aura. Is it the Heavenly Sword?"

"No, he's not the Heavenly Sword. However, that sword aura is close to the Heavenly Sword's level."

"That's right. It's just too powerful."

Everyone looked at the arriving cultivator fearfully.

When he arrived, the black-robed young man looked at everyone before his gaze landed on Luo Xue. His figure then disappeared and arrived before her. He said coldly, "Release your sword intent now!"

"Oh, you wish to fight?"

"So what if I do?"

Luo Xue furrowed her brows. She did not expect the man to be so direct about wanting to fight as soon as they met.

He was simply unbelievable.

However, as a sword cultivator, her sword would not allow her to back down!

Her sword intent suddenly swept out!

Boom!

When the two powerful sword intents collided, explosions erupted in the surroundings, releasing powerful shockwaves in the form of countless tiny sword-like needles everywhere.

Everyone felt a piercing pain as if their skin was being torn apart.

"Haha! What a wonderful Swordswoman! From this day onward, you shall belong to me, the Murderous Blade, Luo Wusheng's woman!"

The young man in black robes, Luo Wusheng, laughed loudly.

Upon hearing that, Luo Xue's expression immediately darkened. "How dare you!"

After saying that, her sword intent erupted once more!

While the two sword intents clashed, Luo Wusheng's body trembled slightly. An even more terrifying and overwhelming sword intent gushed out!

Everyone could vaguely make out a scene from hell from that horrifying sword intent.

"How terrifying! Who the hell is he?"

"Luo Wusheng. I haven't heard of that name before. He must be one of the slumbering Ancient Prodigies. However, which tribe is he from?"

Everyone started to engage in a discussion.

Meanwhile, Ling Fei, who was beside Luo Xue, could no longer hold back. Luo Xue was the Heavenly Sword's ally, after all. As the Heavenly Sword's follower, he could not stand by and allow something like that to happen.

With that, he stepped forward, and sword intent erupted from his body!

Having been a follower of Chu Kuangren for a few years, his strength was already at an extraordinary level, on par with the likes of Chen Feihu.

"Oh, a Spiritual Sword Tribe cultivator!"

Luo Wusheng's eyes flickered. He said, "I can't believe the Spiritual Sword Tribe can produce a Prodigy like you after the Thousand Swords Calamity. How surprising."

"The Thousand Sword Calamity? Why did you bring it up?"

Ling Fei frowned a little. He noticed that Luo Wusheng's words seemed to contain a hidden meaning.

"Why… Ha! That's because we're the ones responsible for the Thousand Sword Calamity!"

Luo Wusheng laughed out loud when he revealed that shocking secret!

Following that, his sword intent erupted further. He was now singlehandedly suppressing both Ling Fei and Luo Xue!

"How is this possible?"

Ling Fei's expression sank.

He was shocked by Luo Wusheng's power and even more shocked by his words.

'He's part of the ones responsible for the Thousand Sword Calamity!'

Luo Wusheng was related to the disaster that befell the Spiritual Sword Tribe, causing the tribe to almost lose their status as one of the King Tribes!

Besides Ling Fei, the other cultivators present were also in an uproar.

However, Luo Wusheng had no intention to explain further. His sword intent continued to weigh down upon Luo Xue and Ling Fei.

Just when he was about to crush the both of them, a clear and pleasant sword chant suddenly reverberated throughout the whole area.

It did not take long before Luo Wusheng's vast and mighty sword intent dissipated due to the effects of the sword chant.

"Huh?"

Luo Wusheng's expression turned grim, and he looked into the distance.

A figure in white robes slowly approached from the distance, brimming with Immortal Sparks. His sword intent remained conserved, but it still managed to shock every sword cultivator present without any effort required!

The sword in the hands of every sword cultivator started to tremble uncontrollably.

Only one person in all of Central Heaven Universe could cause such a phenomenon — the Heavenly Sword!
