Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

The Cycle of Reincarnation Never Ends

Mu Yu surprised himself that he could wipe out all of Bai Jie’s Apotheosis Realm henchmen in a single swing.

“You’re next.” Mu Yu started a tornado as the colourful energy had the stars shaking.

Bai Jie vengefully generated a sword from starlight to fight back for there was no evading Mu Yu’s slash. Sumeru Switch Scroll finally fell, erasing the starry sky. As everyone rushed out of the scroll, dark clouds swirled into a vortex, blue thunder clapping, sky trembling. Waves of qi shook Pill Cauldron Sect’s vicinity, flattening the mountains and almost the entire sect if Revealing Cauldron wasn’t there to save the sect headquarters.

When the dust settled, wrathful Bai Jie was still standing. That being said, Mu Yu had lodged his sword in Bai Jie’s heart, and the sword’s qi was starting to break him down from the inside.

“I don’t want to accept this.”

All the plotting, years of plotting. When everything was finally going to plan, four more swords had to show up. Worse of all, all of it ended for Bai Jie in one slash. Though Mu Yu did not overthrow him overnight, it felt that way for Bai Jie, who had been plotting for so long and was but only one step away from consolidating power.

“Sad for you.”

Boom! Bai Jie’s traces that he tried so hard to leave behind vanished.

Bai Jie’s demise took a while to sink in for mankind. It did not require a genius for them to figure out that nobody could oppose Mu Yu at that point for as long as he wielded Celestial Sword. The only people left standing above Pill Cauldron Sect were the Apotheosis Realm survivors.

Xiaoshuai emerged from Celestial Sword to insult, “That’s what you get for challenging me, White Freak!”

Mu Yu split Celestial Sword back, returning four swords to Uncle An and the other five to their previous owners. Sumeru Switch Scroll rolled back into an airborne scroll.

“It’s finally over?” Ku Mu heaved a heavy breath.

“All that’s left is to restore Perfect World’s restriction to wipe out all of the foreign invaders. The curtain has finally closed on this crisis,” Archfiend Qinglong said, casting his gaze over to the four brothers just as everyone else did.

Standing in the breeze, Xiang Nan voiced, “That dao artefact can control all of Third Heaven’s human inhabitants, correct?”

“You still haven’t given up?” Cheng Yan looked over to Xiang Nan.

“I promised to help banish the foreign invaders. I never said I was dropping my plan.”

“What about you, Lie Shang?”

Lie Shang looked away. “I want to set my own rules.”

“And you, Mu Yu?” Cheng Yan turned to Mu Yu.

“Not everybody in this heaven deserves to be rescued. How many of them betrayed their fellow humans and licked the toes of the foreign races? None of them deserve to live,” Mu Yu calmly asserted.

“Third Heaven Palace’s soul race has been eradicated. Xiang Nan, you’ve had your revenge; why can’t you put it behind you?” Cheng Yan raised his voice.

“This isn’t just about grudges but human nature. Bai Jie may be gone. Howbeit, Divine Executioner still lives. If he sends another Bai Jie in, humans will betray their own a second time. They will only behave when I have them on a leash,” Xiang Nan demurred.

“Mu Yu? If you want to kill the selfish cowards, you’ll likely kill off half of the heaven’s population.” Cheng Yan stated.

“So be it,” Lie Shang answered on Mu Yu’s behalf.

“I told you: there’s no end to them. People are born every day. Different environments and different experiences create different people. Are you going to kill every single person?!”

“That’s why I want to build my own kingdom. I will execute all those who fail to abide by the rules.”

Sword vibrating as his hand shook, Cheng Yan declared, “Shifu wants to protect this world, so I won’t allow you three to do that.”

“First Brother, I’m not picking a fight. The reality is that everyone has their beliefs.” Xiang Nan ran energy down the length of his blade.

“Your belief is wrong! What do you say, Uncle An?” Cheng Yan turned to Uncle An.

“You can’t kill or control that many humans of Third Heaven. None of you can interfere with Third Heaven’s development,” responded Uncle An.

“Why?” For the first time, Mu Yu, Lie Shang and Xiang Nan wanted to oppose Uncle An.

“Perfect World,” Uncle An verbalised.

Ku Mu expanded, “Mu Yu, have you not noticed? Perfect World is superior to Ultimate Concealment Bloody Guardian, but they’re the same in nature. You could say that it is Ultimate Concealment Bloody Guardian. Sword Shadow Dust Gale cast Perfect World. Therefore, he’s using his life to protect this world and every human in it, which includes you four.”

Uncle An stole a gander at Kumu. “He’s right. The reason this world has been able to develop despite so many foreign races coveting it is thanks to Perfect World. Divine Executioner decimated Third Heaven a hundred thousand years ago, slaughtering humans in the process. Patriarch offered his life to revive and then sealed Third Heaven. What you see today is all his work.”

“Is Shifu still alive?” Mu Yu clenched his fists.

“Life is a cycle. Where there is death, there is birth. As long as the human populace of Third Heaven lives, Patriarch will remain alive. If you interfere with their development, he will lose his life,” Uncle An conveyed.

“Where is Shifu?” Mu Yu wanted to know what the human populace’s significance to Feng Haochen was.

“At home.”
