Chapter 732 - 731 Sword Rises in East Desolate

Chapter 732: Chapter 731 Sword Rises in East Desolate

"Eh!?"

Gu Ya, who had already succumbed to complete despair, was suddenly left dumbstruck in this moment.

Before her, an entirely unexpected scene unfolded.

Upon Emperor Night Peak, countless Sword Qi assaulted her, initially intent on slaying Ye Xuan.

However, as they were about to touch Ye Xuan, they slid sideways instead.

As more and more Sword Qi approached, they formed nine Sword Qi Storms right beside Ye Xuan!

Surrounding Ye Xuan.

In that moment, Ye Xuan was like the master of the Sword Dao!

All the swords in the world were to submit to him.

With Gu Ya looking on, dumbstruck, Ye Xuan walked steadily and unhurriedly toward the summit of Emperor Night Peak.

That scene left Gu Ya incredibly shaken.

At this moment, Gu Ya finally understood why the Sect Leader had allowed this man to come to Emperor Night Peak.

It was solely because he possessed the strength, and he was not afraid of the obliteration Sword Intent above Emperor Night Peak.

What appeared to be an unsolvable Sword Qi of Emperor Night Peak to the disciples of Sword Tomb was not only harmless to Ye Xuan but also started revolving around him.

As Ye Xuan continued to ascend, more and more Sword Qi followed suit.

Even from a great distance, one could hear the terrifying sound of the Sword Qi tearing through the air above Emperor Night Peak.

Within the grand hall of Sword Tomb, four generation-separated Sect Leaders displayed varied expressions.

"Is he really the one that River Soldier has been waiting for..." Yuan Kong muttered, feeling somewhat unreal.

Although it was anticipated, the actual sight still felt somewhat hard to accept.

"All swords submit, this scene is enough to prove how far this guy has come in the path of the Sword Dao," the white-haired old man sighed.

"I am actually looking forward to seeing him wield River Soldier..." said a middle-aged man with his hands behind his back, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

The only one who could maintain his composure was the young man.

His gaze was profound, filled with endless Laws circulating ceaselessly, as if embodying a cycle of reincarnation.

He, for one, thought that if Ye Xuan really could take River Soldier, it would be well; after all, River Soldier had been stored too long in Sword Tomb.

For Sword Tomb, River Soldier did not have much use.

Rather, it formed a Forbidden Land behind the main peak at Emperor Night Peak, where almost every generation saw people accidentally perish.

Out of curiosity or unintentionally.

The result was the death of many.

Even many of the upper echelons of Sword Tomb kept away from Emperor Night Peak.

He well remembered that originally, Emperor Night Peak was a renowned mountain of Sword Tomb, with many traces of the ancestral masters upon it.

But due to River Soldier, it had been too long since anyone had visited Emperor Night Peak.

Thus, when Ye Xuan arrived, they followed the ancestral masters’ verbal commands, not obstructing Ye Xuan but allowing him to enter Emperor Night Peak.

Today’s scene also brought them old satisfaction.

Ye Xuan stepped steadily onto Emperor Night Peak, looking casually at this ancient land.

Emperor Night Peak had not changed much from its original state.

The only change, perhaps, was the endless Sword Qi surrounding it.

However, this Sword Qi was not produced by River Soldier.

Instead, due to the existence of River Soldier, it attracted all the Sword Qi of Sword Tomb, gathering here and forming such a Forbidden Land.

This Sword Qi was extremely formidable, with the weakest among them capable of slaying a Saint Emperor.

Ordinary cultivators at Life Palace Realm who came here were only following a path to death.

It was only because Ye Xuan possessed an invincible Emperor’s Soul that he could manipulate this Sword Qi at will without getting harmed.

Moreover...

The Sword Qi so admired River Soldier, which was none other than Ye Xuan’s weapon.

As Ye Xuan ascended Emperor Night Peak, the sun was right at the center, its light spreading everywhere.

Only because Sword Tomb was deep in the Northern Land and it was intentionally so, the world was also covered with ice and snow all year round; this time was the warmest of times.

The summit of Emperor Night Peak was not imposing but covered with a blanket of thick, white snow.

Even in the warmest of times, the snow never melted.

Ye Xuan, stepping through the thick snow, left footprints one by one as he made his way to the back of Emperor Night Peak.

There was a cliff there.

At the cliff, there lay a Sword Box.

This Sword Box was vastly different from ordinary ones.

At first glance, it was huge!

Much larger than a normal Sword Box.

It measured six feet in length, five inches in thickness, and nine inches in width.

The Sword Box was entirely black, devoid of any brilliance, and it had no terrifying aura; it simply lay there quietly.

Ye Xuan looked at the Sword Box, his hand brushing away some of the snow covering it, his fingertips sliding over the cold surface of the Box.

Ye Xuan stopped, pressing gently.

The Sword Box shifted slightly and opened slowly.

Inside lay a black longsword, three feet nine inches in blade length and eleven inches in handle length.

It’s worth mentioning that this sword was an extremely rare single-edged sword with a straight back.

At a cursory glance, it even looked like a saber.

Added to that, the unusually long handle made one wonder, this wasn’t a sword but a saber.

In fact, in ancient times, there wasn’t much distinction between swords and sabers.

It was only through later evolution that swords and sabers became more varied and were clearly differentiated.

Guo Hezu could be called a Divine Sword or a Divine Saber.

Ye Xuan never bothered with these distinctions.

All he needed to understand was that this weapon, which resembled both a sword and a saber, was named by him — Guo Hezu.

There was no turning back!

Ye Xuan ran his hand lightly over Guo Hezu’s blade, and in his black pupils, ripples expanded endlessly.

The next moment, Ye Xuan’s gaze intensified, his right hand closing around the handle of Guo Hezu.

Clank—

At that instant, an unprecedentedly terrifying Sword Intent enveloped the entire Emperor Night Peak.

The Sword Qi of the entire Emperor Night Peak seemed to be mobilized at that moment.

Ye Xuan slowly lifted Guo Hezu, his eyes fierce, and he spoke in a soft yet penetrating voice, "With my sword, Guo Hezu, I can slay heavens, subdue earth, be invincible."

On Ye Xuan’s body, an indescribable Emperor’s Might even began to slowly gather.

Emperor’s Might swirled around Guo Hezu, which at that moment seemed to awaken, a sword cry piercing the sky.

Swish!

Ye Xuan held Guo Hezu reversed, positioned behind him, its blade straight, parallel to his spine, the tip pointing directly at the Sky Dome.

Boom—

The next moment, high above in the Sky Dome, the vast sun split into two!

At the same time, within a ten million-mile radius of Sword Tomb, swords cried endlessly!

Boom, boom, boom—

Even the three world-renowned Sword Ponds of Sword Tomb trembled incessantly at that moment.

Each of the famous swords contained therein seemed to surge with a spirit, striving to reach the heavens!

Ye Xuan, with his right hand holding Guo Hezu behind him, his left hand three inches in front of him making the sword finger, his gaze calm, softly uttered one word:

"Rise."

With the word spoken,

In Sword Tomb, billions of Flying Swords surged toward the sky.

At the same time, in the East Desolation Domain, a vast scene unfolded.

Above the sky of East Desolate, countless Flying Swords moved as if endless.

In the East Desolation Domain, all swords arose!
