Chapter 2211: Bring Him Back at All Cost

Lord Ming reached out a hand and grabbed the blade, wanting to pick it up.

“Eh?”

What surprised Lord Ming was that the blade looked thin but was very heavy. He had already exerted a lot of strength but was unable to shake it.

“Legend has it that Stellar Sword was made from a star. It is indeed as heavy as a star,” Lord Ming muttered. His eyes brightened up with eagerness to lift it.

A star in a universe was very huge and heavy. Its weight was equivalent to millions of planets.

Even a deity would need to expend a lot of strength to be able to shake a star.

A cultivator would condense a Divine Planet once they attained Godhood. When a Divine Planet grew to its prime, its size was equivalent to the size of a star. Only when the deity fell, the Divine Planet would be reduced to the size of a planet.

Possessing the power of a star was the most basic condition to attain Godhood.

Lord Ming stretched out his other hand and hold the sword with both hands.

Then, Lord Ming did not hold back anymore and released his own power to wrap around the sword.

Boom!

Extremely powerful energy burst out from the sword, and the entire Dismemberment Prison Realm was instantly shattered.

A large number of scarlet divine patterns appeared on the sword, releasing a scorching force that could melt everything.

In the blink of an eye, Dismemberment Prison Realm had turned into a sea of lava, and the temperature was extremely high.

Even a Saint would turn into ashes if they entered.

Obviously, Lord Ming wanted to raise Stellar Sword and activate the violent power contained within it.

Swoosh!

Finally, Lord Ming pulled Stellar Sword out of the lava.

In an instant, Stellar Sword released an even more scorching power, emitting a dazzling light. It was like a sun, making people unable to open their eyes.

Rumble–

At the same time, the ground around Sword Vault began to crack. It was as if an earthquake had occurred, causing countless creatures to panic.

The tremors spread to 3,000 miles away, 30,000 miles away, 300,000 miles away, 3,000,000 miles away…

Finally, the entire Central Region, the land of myriad miles, began to tremble. It was as if there was a star rolling on the vast ground of Central Region.

If the Nether Dungeon did not act as a barrier, the energy that erupted the moment Stellar Sword was born would have been even more terrifying.

After a long time, Stellar Sword finally calmed down. It retracted its light and heat and returned to its original form.

After subduing Stellar Sword, Lord Ming found that its weight turned light that he could hold it in one hand.

A satisfied smile appeared on Lod Ming’s expression. Although he had been imprisoned in the Nether Dungeon for ten thousand years, to be able to gain such a divine sword was worth the time and effort.

More importantly, Stellar Sword contained the Canon of Swordsmanship that Ancestral Swordmaster had comprehended. Now that Lord Ming gained it, he would be greatly benefited.

Although he had not become a deity yet, he already had the power comparable to a deity.

Otherwise, he would not be able to lift Stellar Sword.

Lord Ming waved Stellar Sword and slashed upwards.

Clang!

Instantly, a crack appeared in the dark sky.

Holding Stellar Sword, Lord Ming soared into the sky.

Seeing this, Blood Empress hurriedly followed him.

In the blink of an eye, Lord Ming had already rushed out of the Nether Dungeon and appeared in Sword Vault.

At this moment, a shocking phenomenon occurred in the originally peaceful Sword Vault. Tens of thousands of swords sounded simultaneously, tilting towards Stellar Sword as if they were bowing to salute it.

Swoosh–

Stellar Sword’s fragments scattered all over Sword Vault quickly gathered and fused with the sword.

Sword Vault was a very special place that could repair and nurture swords.

As a result, after so many years, not only did the fragments of Stellar Sword not decay, but their divinity had grown greater.

As more and more fragments fused with Stellar sword, the sword became heavier. At the same time, it naturally emitted a blazing light and heat that lit up Sword Vault.

Central Imperial City, Rainbow Pavilion.

The Nine-heavens Maiden’s expression suddenly changed. The Heaven’s Sear Blade that she kept started to move and flew out uncontrollably.

Warrior Saint Canglan was the bearer of the Heaven’s Sear Blade. Although the quality or grade of this secondary sword was not high, it was significant. It was a trump card to protect the Nether Dungeon.

“Come back!”

The Nine-heavens Maiden made a move, wanting to retrieve the Heaven’s Sear Blade.

However, the Heaven’s Sear Blade trembled violently. It was completely out of her control. Even Sacred Confucian Tome could not suppress it.

Swoosh–

The Heaven’s Sear Blade transformed into a sword light and shot through the sky.

“Could it be that something has happened at Sword Vault?” the Nine-heavens Maiden was in contemplation, figuring things out.

If it weren’t for the urgency of the situation, she really wanted to leave immediately and head to Sword Vault to investigate it.

Demonic Sect of the Moon

Ling Feiyu secluded herself. She was in the midst of self-cultivation, but she was alarmed.

Heaven’s Fall Blade hanging in front of her chest suddenly released a resplendent sword light, turning into a three-foot-long blade, circling her several times.

When Ling Feiyu wanted to reach out to grab it, Heaven’s Fall Blade suddenly soared into the sky and flew into the distance.

“What’s going on?”

Ling Feiyu frowned in puzzlement.

Ever since she became the bearer of Heaven’s Fall Blade, she had never encountered such phenomena before.

At the same time, the other swordbearers also encountered the same situation. All of them felt puzzled and uneasy.

Not long after, five secondary swords, including the Heaven’s Sear Blade and Heaven’s Fall Blade, flew over from different regions in Kunlun.

The five swords were closely connected to Sword Vault, so they could fly directly into Sword Vault without being hindered by divine patterns.

The only secondary sword missing was Toten Sword.

Five relatively large fragments were separated from the five Saint Swords and merged with Stellar Sword’s blade.

“What happened? Why is there such a strange phenomenon in Sword Vault?”

“Such a strong power. My Saint Soul is almost melting.”

“Why did my connection with Heaven’s Fall Blade suddenly break? What’s going on?”

All of a sudden, the Saint Souls of the grandmasters in Sword Vault were alarmed.

They could sense the changes in Sword Vault, but they could not leave their place to investigate the situation.

The problems with the five secondary swords would put Kunlun at a disadvantage because the five swordbearers would not be able to borrow the power of the late grandmasters in Sword Vault.

Such a change was definitely not a good thing.

Not long after, Stellar Sword’s blade was mostly repaired, only a small part was missing.

“The location of the hilt seems to be unique place. I can’t even summon it over. That remaining secondary sword was also at the same location with the hilt.” Lord Ming closed his eyes and sensed carefully.

Swoosh!

Elder Kong emerged.

As soon as he saw Stellar Sword in Lord Ming’s hand, his eyes filled with mixed feelings. Obviously, he did not want Ancestral Swordmaster’s sword to be controlled by a cultivator from Infernal Court.

Shaking his head slightly, Elder Kong sighed and said, “Subduing Stellar Sword will bring you endless benefits and also a huge restriction. When Ancestral Swordmaster created Stellar Sword, the aim was to protect Kunlun.

“This is the mission of this sword!

“Therefore, Stellar Sword will not kill any living beings in Kunlun.”

Hearing this, Lord Ming stared at Stellar Sword. He was surprised. “Is that so? I don’t believe it.”

With that, Lord Ming suddenly took a step forward, waved Stellar Sword, and slashed at Elder Kong.

Elder Kong appeared to be very calm. He stood quietly with his hands behind his back. He did not dodge or block the attack. He let the Stellar Sword fall on him.

However, Stellar Sword emitting a bright divine light suddenly stopped in mid-air. It could not slash down.

Clang!

The blade of the sword shook violently. It was not under Lord Ming’s control.

Nevertheless, Lord Ming would not give up just like that. He immediately released even more power and injected it into the sword.

BANG!!!

The sword released an extremely powerful force and shook Lord Ming’s hand away.

Lord Ming spread his aching hands and stared at Stellar Sword floating in the air. His eyes narrowed. He felt a strong sense of defeat.

The facts proved that Elder Kong’s words were true.

He could attack anyone, even deities, with Stellar Sword.

However, he could not wield it against the living beings of Kunlun.

The will of Ancestral Swordmaster to protect Kunlun had long been imprinted in Stellar Sword.

Lord Ming had never thought that a sword could control his will. This was not something that made him happy.

Taking over Kunlun had been Lord Ming’s ambition. Even after 10,000 years, it had not changed.

Now that he was free, of course he would want to resume his journey to achieve the goal.

But now, he was restricted by Stellar Sword. How could he carry on his ambition?

Lord Ming’s emotions and expressions kept changing. No one knew what he was thinking.

Not long after, Lord Ming regained his senses, and a determined look appeared in his eyes.

‘It’s true that this sword was imprinted with the will of Ancestral Swordmaster. So what? In the future, I can be become even more powerful. By the time comes, I will completely subdue Stellar Sword. There’s no way a sword can restrain me.’

To him, fighting against the will of Ancestral Swordmaster was also a form of tempering his cultivation. It could help him ascend the peak.

Lord Ming restrained his killing intent and held Stellar Sword again. He swung it backward. Stellar Sword burst out with an incomparably sharp sword light. It was invincible and unstoppable.

For a moment, Sword Vault was filled with dense divine inscriptions. They were like chains, interweaving with each other, sealing this space.

It was precisely because of these divine inscriptions that Infernal Court’s deities were unable to directly open the Dimensional Rift connected to Sword Vault. They could only deploy forces to attack Sword Vault from outside.

However, Stellar Sword was invincible. These divine inscriptions were also unable to block it.

In an instant, the divine patterns interweaved in space were all cut off, and the region could no longer be sealed.

CRASH!

Immediately, a 30,000-meter-long Dimensional Rift appeared on the stable space, piercing through sky and land.

This Dimensional Rift was a passage opened by Lord Ming, connecting to a distant place in Kunlun.

He had already sensed that the hilt of Stellar Sword and the secondary sword of Toten Sword were on the other side of the Dimensional Rift.

Inside of the Dimensional Rift was very dark. The force of Nothingness surged and eroded everything.

On the other side of the Dimensional Rift was a bottomless abyss. From a distance, it looked like the mouth of a demon that could swallow everything in the world.

“Endless Abyss.”

No wonder he could not summon the hilt and the secondary sword of Toten Sword. It turned out that they were at the mysterious and unfathomable Endless Abyss.

The precepts of heaven and earth in Endless Abyss were completely different from those in Kunlun. It was like another world.

Looking at Endless Abyss at the end of the Dimensional Rift, Blood Empress suddenly thought of something.

With a step, Lord Ming entered the Dimensional Rift, crossed the void, and walked toward Endless Abyss step by step.

Blood Empress glanced at Elder Kong and followed.

Seeing the two of them leave, Elder Kong shook his head and disappeared into the black mountain.

Guarding the Nether Dungeon was his mission. No matter what, he could not leave.

Lord Ming’s cultivation was close to a deity’s, but he was only imprisoned on the fifteenth floor of the dungeon. Hence, one could imagine how powerful the prisoners who were kept at the bottom three floors.

However, other than Elder Kong, no one knew who they were.

After coming out of the Dimensional Rift, Lord Ming and Bloody Empress landed. They stood at the edge of Endless Abyss, and the sharp cold wind kept blowing against them.

“The hilt of Stellar Sword and Toten Sword’s secondary sword are indeed below us,” Lord Ming said.

After coming here, the connection between Stellar Sword’s blade and its hilt became stronger. The light of the blade kept flickering.

Led by Blood Empress, the two of them came to the second level of Endless Abyss.

“This is indeed a very special realm!”

Lord Ming observed his surroundings as he moved forward.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked at the blood-red mountain in the distance. He could notice the phenomena happening in that direction.

“So the hilt and Toten Sword are with Zhang Ruochen. That kid… Eh, what happened to him? Why are you summoning soul?”

As he spoke, Lord Ming reached out his hand. The ancient hilt and Toten Sword flew out immediately.

A fragment separated from Toten Sword and merged with Stellar Sword.

The ancient hilt flew around the sword. Inscriptions rushed out from the two. They intertwined, connected, and finally combined.

At this point, Stellar Sword was finally intact.

Buzz.

Stellar Sword shook violently and emitted an extremely sharp aura of sword. Hundreds of pitch-black rifts immediately formed in the surrounding space.

Fiery red flames rose. The temperature of the entire second level of Endless Abyss instantly increased by more than a hundred times.

With Stellar Sword as the center, the surrounding space within a hundred miles was instantly burned into nothingness, forming a huge black hole.

This was the result even after Lord Ming had deliberately suppressed the sword aura. Otherwise, who knew how much damage it would cause.

“Stellar Sword is a peerless divine weapon of Kunlun. The sword blade is your gain, while its hilt was Chen’er ‘s. Brother, you are Chen’er’s uncle. Yet, you take what belongs to your nephew. Do you really want to do this to him?” Blood Empress said.

Hearing this, Lord Ming could not help but laugh. He felt that his sister was really overprotective.

The hilt that Zhang Ruochen had obtained did not have the spiritual will of Ancestral Swordmaster. It was just an object.

He had spent 10,000 years and risked being refined. He had wandered on the edge of life and death countless times before taming Stellar Sword. No matter how he looked at it, he was the master of Stellar Sword.

However, the way Blood Empress put it. it made it sound like he and Zhang Ruochen had each gotten half of Stellar Sword.

No one would see it that way!

However, Lord Ming was a free man now and had obtained a complete Stellar Sword. He was in a good mood and did not want to argue with his only sister, “If the one holding the hilt wasn’t your son, I would just snatch it with no hesitation,” he said. “I don’t want to be a laughing stock in Infernal Court for myriad of years for taking my own nephew’s belonging away. I—your brother—have a reputation to maintain, so don’t worry.”

After saying this, Lord Ming reached out a hand and pressed in the air.

A powerful spiritual power was released and poured into the blood-colored mountain to help Blood Empress summon Zhang Ruochen’s soul.

His cultivation was close to a deity’s, and his mental will was completely comparable to a deity’s. Hence, he had the ability to help Blood Empress at this time.

Moreover, Lord Ming knew the dangers of soul summoning. He did not want anything bad to happen to Blood Empress.

In the cave of a blood-colored mountain, Blood Empress stood in the Soul-summoning Array. She kept releasing divine blood to stabilize the illusory passageway.

As time passed, Blood Empress’ divine spirit had taken Zhang Ruochen’s scattered soul fragments back one after another.

These soul fragments were all attached to the surviving weak part of Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Soul, making it stronger.

In the process, the divine spirit of Blood Empress suffered the backlash of the laws of heaven and earth.

Even a deity could not fight against the will of heaven and earth.

Not only her divine spirit, but the spiritual will branded in every inch of her flesh and blood was also being destroyed by the will of heaven and earth.

Even someone as powerful as Blood Empress, who was a deity, had turned pale at that moment, and her aura was gradually weakening.

A cracking sound rang out from Blood Empress’ body.

A clear rift appeared on her Divinity Source.

Blood Empress’ body trembled, and divine blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth. Her body also cracked, and like a piece of ceramic, it was on the verge of falling apart.

Divinity Source was extremely important to the deities. It was the foundation of cultivation, and the divine soul was wrapped within it.

This was the terrifying part of the backlash from the laws of heaven and earth. It would directly affect a deity’s Divinity Source and soul, and it was impossible to defend against it.

Although the deities were powerful, they could not fight against nature.

If it was a spiritual power Supreme Saint who did this, the final result would very likely be that both the spiritual power and the divine soul would be annihilated.

As time passed, a series of cracking sounds came from Blood Empress from time to time. The cracks on her Divinity Source increased, and her body’s condition was even worse. Her blood gushed out from the cracked wounds.

However, even so, the determination in Blood Empress’ eyes was unwavered. She was doing her best to maintain the Soul-summoning Array without the slightest intention of giving up.

Even if this cost her life, she would save Zhang Ruochen.

In the end, the backlash from heaven and earth became heavier, that even the Soul-summoning Array could not be maintained. It was gradually destroyed.

If this continued, the soul summoning would end in failure. Even the soul fragments that had been summoned would dissipate again.

“Chen ‘er will be fine!”

As Blood Empress looked at her son, who was covered in red blood, her eyes were filled with gentleness.

Immediately, Blood Empress released her own soul to suppress the Soul-summoning Array. At the same time, she used it to guide Zhang Ruochen’s dissipating soul fragments.

Zhang Ruochen was her descendant. His soul was nurtured in her body. They were of the same origin and had a special connection with each other.

However, doing so would undoubtedly put Blood Empress in greater danger.

The backlash of the laws of heaven and earth completely affected Blood Empress’ divine soul.

Even though Blood Empress’ soul was strong, it could not withstand the backlash. Cracks appeared on it. And it collapsed bit by bit.

Ptui

Blood Empress spat out a large mouthful of divine blood. Her aura became more and more dispirited.

Finally, Zhang Ruochen’s last wisp of soul flew out of the passage and combined with the main part of his Saint Soul.

Above Zhang Ruochen’s body, there was a very solid-looking saint soul. It looked exactly like Zhang Ruochen. Although it had not woken up yet, it was already giving off a mighty Saint aura.

Perhaps it was because Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Soul had dissipated before it was condensed again. There was an indescribable, strange aura on it.

“Saint Soul returns, life and death reversed!”

Blood Empress shouted as she changed her hand seals.

Now, it was the most critical moment. Whether the soul summoning would succeed or fail, depending on this moment.

KABOOM!

The passage collapsed, releasing a terrifying destructive force.

This force charged straight at Zhang Ruochen. It did not allow him to go against the laws of heaven and earth and come back to life.

Blood Empress did not hesitate. With her majestic body, she completely blocked the destructive force and did not let Zhang Ruochen suffer a single bit.

As a result, Blood Empress’ injuries were even worse. Her divine body was almost shattered, becoming a bloody mess.

Her Divinity Source and soul were also severely damaged. Countless cracks formed on them interweaved like a spider web. They were on the verge of collapse.

If this continued, even if Blood Empress did not die, it was very likely that her foundation in her divine path would be destroyed. It was indeed a great price.

Although Lord Ming could clearly sense Blood Empress’ state, he did not say anything to stop her. How could the will of a deity waver so easily?

However, he was surprised that his only sister would value her family so much. It was considered very unusual in Xue Jue Family.
