On Mount Buzhou, the demonic wind was howling and divine thunder intertwined. At the summit of Mount Buzhou, it connected to the ancient starry sky with countless stars shining. At this moment, a bloody rain fell, and a rolling cloud of blood covered the area, appearing eerie and strange.

A vague figure appeared, dressed in a dazzling blood robe, with white hair and a youthful face. Between the eyebrows, he contained the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon, with crimson eyes exuding a terrifying aura that shook the heavens and earth.

It was the Lord of the Blood Sea - Minghe Laozu!

At this moment, Minghe Laozu held a sword box in his hands and rode a blood rainbow, rushing towards the scene.

Another powerful Da Luo emerged on Mount Buzhou, causing countless people to gasp in amazement!

"Minghe Laozu?"

"What is he meddling in?!!"

"Wait, did Minghe Laozu just refer to himself as a 'sword slave'?!!"

"And he also called someone his 'master'?!!"

"Minghe Laozu was born in the Blood Sea, so who is his master?"

"Who could be his master here..."

With the appearance of Minghe Laozu, the scene exploded into chaos, with people discussing and exclaiming in amazement.

Then, a series of noisy sounds suddenly stopped, and countless eyes subconsciously refocused on Ye Xiu!

"It can't be... Could the master that Minghe Laozu mentioned be this person?!!"

Many people showed a shocked and horrified expression, feeling incredulous.

It was as if they had heard an explosive piece of news!

As expected, the next moment, Minghe Laozu floated to Ye Xiu...

With a "plop," the sword slave knelt before him, offering the sword case in his hands with utmost respect. "I apologize for being late, master. Please forgive me."

"It's really him!"

"The renowned Lord of the Underworld, willing to become someone else's sword slave... It's unbelievable! The way of heaven... my mentality is about to collapse!"

"You know, the Lord of the Underworld is at least a top-tier innate spirit of the prehistoric times, not inferior in status or aptitude to the Three Pure Ones and others. He can suppress the endless sea of blood, has 480 million blood god avatars, and possesses extensive supernatural powers. He is incredibly proud, yet he became someone else's sword slave?!!"

"Hiss—"

...

Sounds of surprise and shock echoed throughout Mount Zhou. Many people were stunned and felt incredulous.

Even the Three Pure Ones, despite their calm temperament and strong moral character, were surprised to see the Lord of the Underworld, a great Luo-level expert, bowing to Ye Xiu.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Ye Xiu, on the other hand, didn't have much emotional turbulence about this.

With a slight curl of his lips, he looked at the Lord of the Underworld before him... it was as if he had met an old friend whom he hadn't seen in a long time, with a hint of emotion in his heart.

At the beginning of the world's creation, before he took refuge in Mount Zhou, Ye Xiu traveled through the prehistoric world and enlightened the not-yet-formed Lord of the Underworld in the sea of blood. He also gave the divine swords Yuan Tu and A Bi to him as a side gift.

At that time, the Lord of the Underworld had just gained sentience, but he deeply remembered Ye Xiu's kindness and identified himself as a sword slave. After he attained enlightenment and transformed, he often visited Mount Zhou to pay homage and worship Ye Xiu.

Since the Endless Yuan Meeting, Ye Xiu had disappeared without a trace, completely evaporating from the world. The Lord of the Underworld thought he had failed to retreat and had died, thus becoming one with the heavens and the earth.

But who would have thought...

Ye Xiu was still alive!

...

...

"Lord of the Underworld, it's been a long time... Are you well?" Ye Xiu said calmly.

Ignoring the strange and astonished gazes around him, Minghe, the Ancestor of the Underworld, felt a sense of flattery upon receiving Ye Xiu's greetings, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Thank you for your concern, I'm doing well!"

"Master, I learned of your emergence from seclusion and hurriedly made my way from the Endless Sea of Blood. Yuan Tu and A Bi have already been honed to their utmost sharpness. Please wield your sword and slay all enemies in the world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Minghe opened his sword case, and Yuan Tu and A Bi, two legendary swords, sheathed their edges and lay quietly within.

At this point, the Three Pure Ones and the others present were completely stunned...

All fell silent!

Yuan Tu and A Bi were renowned throughout the world as supreme weapons of slaughter, exquisite innate spirit treasures that killed without causing karmic retribution.

Until now, they had always believed that Yuan Tu and A Bi were Minghe's companions...

But they never would have guessed that the true owner of Yuan Tu and A Bi was actually Ye Xiu!

Minghe's arrival added a layer of mystery to Ye Xiu, whose origins were so deep that they could not be inferred!

At this moment, the Three Pure Ones and the others suddenly realized how foolish they had been to ask Ye Xiu to draw his sword earlier!

Ye Xiu was already unfathomable, with a cultivation level that was impossible to estimate. If he were to wield Yuan Tu and A Bi, the consequences of a single strike would be unimaginable!

As regret flooded their minds, Ye Xiu surprised them with his next move.

He merely glanced at the two divine swords in the case before closing it.

Apparently, he had no intention of using Yuan Tu and A Bi!

Then, he looked at the Three Pure Ones and the others, towering above them, and said casually, "A few small fries like you don't require me to make a fuss. All that's needed is a single sword aura of emptiness to suppress you all..."

His words were still calm and filled with immense confidence, looking down on the world and ignoring everything!

After hearing this, the Three Pure Ones and the others were all outraged, feeling humiliated by being so easily dismissed!

At least they are the current most renowned geniuses of the world, standing high above and looking down on the rest. Can they not even withstand a single sword strike?!

With this thought in mind...

The Three Pure Ones, Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Nüwa, Fuxi, Hongyun, and Zhenyuanzi all shouted in unison: "Please, senior, unleash your sword!!"

As soon as their words fell, a series of clear and melodious sword chants resounded throughout the universe, as if emanating from the depths of the cosmos, buzzing incessantly.

Immediately after...

The rocks on Mount Bu Zhou shattered and debris flew everywhere.

The surrounding air was stirred up into a gust of energy that felt as sharp as a knife.

Ye Xiu's long hair behind his head danced wildly, but his expression remained unchanged.

Under his white robe, his wrist slightly trembled.

His fingers clasped together in a sword stance, and his wrist bent gently, tracing a seductive arc in the air.

In an instant...

Thunder rumbled.

Electricity crackled.

The Three Pure Ones, Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the others felt a sharp pain in their eyes, as if a primordial thunderbolt had struck, and the entire world was shrouded in white.

Then, a bone-chilling coldness rushed towards them!

That one sword strike was sharp and fierce, its blade shining brilliantly, illuminating the mountains and rivers for billions of miles...truly unparalleled in terror!!
