Clang!

The crisp sound of a sword echoed between heaven and earth as the sword song spread, forming visible sound wave ripples.

It was at this moment that hundreds of millions of sword light sparkles sprayed out. The light seemed extremely gentle and did not appear to have much destructive power, but when it emanated, the Earthly Sovereigns felt palpitations in their hearts. They had no doubt that if they were caught in the light of the sword, they would disappear in an instant.

What a mighty artifact it was…

Amid shocked glances, Lu Heng froze as he looked at this scene and could not help but murmur, “What… How?!” Wasn’t the Heavenly Emperor the only one who could pull out the Celestial Emperor Sword? Why is it that a boy who is only a Complete Grade Nine can do it successfully?

Lu Heng’s gaze changed. Immediately, he glanced at the purple gold shadow behind Mu Chen, which was supposed to be his Sovereign Celestial Body, and he noticed a very strange aura.

That was an Immortal Aura. That aura meant that if even Mu Chen were to fall, this Sovereign Celestial Body would still resist the erosion of time and was eternal.

“That is… the Immortal Golden Body?!” Lu Heng’s pupils shrank as he finally recognized the Sovereign Celestial Body. He had expected Garuda would have it, but unfortunately, Garuda, whom he had high hopes for, was defeated in the battle with Mu Chen.

It was apparent that Mu Chen had succeeded.

Mandela looked at Lu Heng, whose face twisted dramatically as she said nonchalantly, “In the Ancient Celestial Palace, the Heavenly Emperor once said the necessary condition for becoming his successor was to cultivate the Immortal Golden Body.

“To pull out the Celestial Emperor Sword, besides being the Heavenly Emperor, one has to obtain the approval of the Celestial Emperor Sword, and this recognition is the Immortal Golden Body.

“However, no one in the Ancient Celestial Palace was able to cultivate the Immortal Golden Body, so it was gradually forgotten. Those who came along the way naturally would not know these secrets.” Mandela sneered coldly as she finished. She clasped her fingers and innumerable dark flower runes erupted, entangling the Devil’s Mouth so it could no longer exert its power.

At the same time, her low roar rang in Mu Chen’s ears. “Mu Chen, do it!”

At the sound of Mandela’s roar, Mu Chen grasped the Celestial Emperor Sword in his hands tightly, and he could feel the terrible force that was flowing within it. Compared with it, the Divine Wind Fan was as tiny and weak as a firefly.

Of course, he was aware that with his current strength, even if he poured out his spiritual energy unreservedly, even exhausting his own flesh and blood, he would not be able to activate the Celestial Emperor Sword in the slightest.

Fortunately, the Celestial Emperor Sword also seemed to be aware of the gradual recovery of the Demonic Emperor, so there was no need for Mu Chen’s control. The sword shook as the sword song soared into the sky.

Buzz!

Ten thousand beams of sword light surged as the Celestial Emperor Sword transformed into a beam of sword light and charged together with Mu Chen. That speed was indescribably swift. Even those who were present could see only a ray of light passing through the void, and there was no way to see its track.

At this terrifying speed, the Celestial Emperor Sword appeared almost instantly before the “Heavenly Emperor.” The sword blade trembled before stabbing into its body to seal it again.

Spurt!

The sword blade stabbed into the flesh body, but Mu Chen’s face changed, because he suddenly found that standing in front of his eyes was not the “Heavenly Emperor,” but Lu Heng!

The Celestial Emperor Sword pierced Lu Heng’s body as the terrifying crystal sword light surged and cracks instantly appeared on his body.

To Mu Chen’s horror, Lu Heng, who was supposed to be in the other direction, had appeared in front of him strangely, and his face was colored with disbelief and pain. Clearly, he hadn’t wanted to run out and block the destructive sword with his flesh. If it wasn’t him doing it voluntarily, was it the Demonic Emperor?!

Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed suddenly, and then he saw that in the distance, Mandela and the faces of many of the most powerful had become horrified. It was as if they had seen something that frightened them.

Tap.

As Mu Chen’s heart was in a state of turmoil, a fair, slender palm suddenly laid gently on his shoulder from behind Lu Heng.

“Haha, you did a good job.” A gentle laughter rang from behind Lu Heng, and then a long-haired figure clad in green robes appeared. He was the “Heavenly Emperor!”

At this time, his eyes had opened completely. His pitch dark eyes radiated an extremely evil aura between heaven and earth.

He had really resurrected!

Lu Heng turned his head with much difficulty as he looked at the “Heavenly Emperor.” His lips moved, and he seemed to be begging for help as the sword aura in his body was destroying him.

“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t let my meritorious official die easily.” The “Heavenly Emperor” smiled and then clapped his palms again. Endless black Demonic Energy poured out of his palms and poured madly into Lu Heng’s body, dissipating the destructive sword aura inside him.

However, although he helped to drive out Lu Heng’s sword aura, the latter’s body was now completely demonized. The surface of his body was covered with ferocious demonic runes, and that monstrous Demonic Energy had transformed Lu Heng’s body. Lu Heng also felt that the spiritual energy in his body was rapidly eroded, eventually turning into evil Demonic Energy.

The world had begun to resist and reject him to the point that he could no longer draw spiritual power from heaven and earth. He was now regarded as an outcast in the Great Thousand World.

Aware of his own changes, Lu Heng’s gaze flickered, but he finally bowed humbly to the “Heavenly Emperor” and said, “Thank you, my lord, for giving me a chance at rebirth!”
