Legend of the Great Sage

thered.

The Sword Formation of Heaven and Earth was on the brink of collapse.
All of the swords on the Sword Collection peak began to resonate.
In the further depths of the Sword Collection peak, an eerie, strange sound began to spread, making all the swords in the Sword Collection palace thrum.

In the blink of an eye, only a single chain attached to the Heaven Leaning peak remained, leading straight into the air.

“Alright, there’s still one last chain, and your mission will be complete!” the Sword Spirit of Immortal Relinquished said.

“You can break free from this chain yourself!” The Soaring Locust King turned around and flew away.

“Hehe, how clever!” The Sword Spirit of Immortal Relinquished communicated with elder Tian.
“Now, all that’s left is you and me.
Don’t refine me, alright? Let’s go!” A frenzied sword intent rushed into elder Tian’s sea of consciousness, tearing through everything in its path.
It was unstoppable.

“Stop! Let me go, or I’ll blow up my sword nascence!” elder Tian called out.

“Are you asking me to be a little gentler? Don’t worry, I’ll be very gentle!” the Sword Spirit of Immortal Relinquished said slowly, and the frenzied sword intent vanished.

Before elder Tian could even catch his breath, the vanished sword intent erupted once more, having infiltrated the depths of his sea of consciousness unbeknownst to him.
He suddenly widened his eyes, and resplendent light poured out from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
His limbs were fully outstretched as his robes became filled with sword qi.

“Though, I still prefer it a little more violent.
It’s just a pity that this body is too weak, nowhere close to that of Li Qingshan’s.
I’ll just forge it a little then!” the Sword Spirit of Immortal Relinquished said.

At that instant, all the lightning in the sky gathered on the Sword Collection peak, on elder Tian.

Elder Tian’s consciousness was like a candle in the wind, ready to be put out at any moment.
Blowing up his sword nascence had already become a fantasy.
He glanced past a mountain from the corner of his eye and abruptly recalled something that someone had once said to him a thousand years ago.

“Tian’er, obtaining a renowned sword isn’t all good fortune.
Even a mortal can wield a metal sword, but a renowned sword is much more dangerous… Remember, the sword is not your friend, nor is it your lover.
The sword is cold and emotionless.
You have to grip the hilt firmly, or you’ll be injured by the sword!”

That was his first master, the person who taught him the most basic swordsmanship.
However, after he had undergone the heavenly tribulation and pulled out a renowned sword, he no longer had the right to guide him.
In the end, he gifted him with that word of advice, but it had already become blurred.

He had never taken that seriously.
What right did an old man who had never even undergone the second heavenly tribulation in his entire life possess to lecture the successor of a renowned sword like him? Instead, he believed this caution would only affect his cultivation.

“Was I wrong?”

“No, you weren’t wrong.
You were just not strong enough!” the Sword Spirit of Immortal Relinquished answered.

Elder Tian could not hear it anymore.
His consciousness had been completely destroyed by the wild sword qi.
The light from his face gradually subsided, and his face twisted.
His bearing changed drastically, now filled with a warped aura.
He swung his arm in a dramatic manner.

With a flash, the final chain was severed silently.
Even the curtain of rain was sliced apart in the process.
The sun beamed with golden light, but even it could not match the glory of that sword.

All the swords on the Sword Collection peak sung.
The Sword Collection peak fell like a broken kite, slamming straight into the Sword Collection pavilion.

Boom!

The entrance to the Sword Collection pavilion collapsed, and the Sword Collection peak twisted as if it had forced its way through the door, vanishing from sight.

At this moment, the swordmasters and elders all returned to their senses.
The demonic thoughts in their minds had subsided drastically.
Controlling the minds of people through demonic seeds could not be sustained for long after all.
They gazed at the horrific sight of the Sword Collection palace, unable to completely recover from their fright.

Under the glow of the white sun, the Sword Collection peak rose up slowly again, but what rose up with it was the entire Sword Domain of Heaven and Earth.
