With the end of the battle for the Executing Heaven Sword, the Blood Demon Sect's and Kōshū's plan had also failed.
At this point, there was no point in chasing after the people from the various factions. What they needed to think about now was the reactions of the various factions after this incident.
Would the various factions use this as an excuse to encircle and annihilate their two sects?
After all, since ancient times, the righteous and demonic factions had always been at odds. In the past, the righteous and demonic factions had always been in a state of balance, so the righteous faction had no excuse to attack the demonic faction. Now, the Blood Demon Sect and Kōshū had attacked the righteous faction first. Furthermore, the Evil Spirit Sect and the Blood Shadow Sect had also been schemed against.
There would definitely be differences in the alliance between the demonic factions. Now was the best time for the righteous faction to make a move.
Both sides stopped fighting and retreated vigilantly. Shenlang also did not let Ximen Chuixue and the others attack Ji Wudao and the others. Although Hades was not weak now, he was still a little weaker than the 21 factions.
The most important thing was his Immortal Martial Realm. As long as Hades did not have an Immortal Martial Realm expert holding down the fort, Hades could not be too high-profile.
As the battle ended, the news of the battle in Martial City spread throughout the entire Zhenwu Continent in a short time. Even the countries around the Qianwu Empire received the news immediately.
Four major events that happened in the battle in Martial City also shook the entire Zhenwu Continent.
First, the Executing Heaven Sword had appeared.
Second, the Blood Demon Sect and Kōshū had joined forces to scheme against the various factions.
Third, how powerful was the mysterious Hades?
Hades' powerful performance this time was also called the beginning of darkness.
Fourth, the Temple of Eternal Life had obtained the Executing Heaven Sword.
Ninety-nine percent of the people in the Zhenwu Continent did not know what kind of organization the Temple of Eternal Life was. Only those factions that had been passed down since ancient times would be able to find a few words in their own ancient books.
After those factions understood part of the Temple of Eternal Life's information, a word flashed through their minds at the same time: "Terrifying!"
The Temple of Eternal Life was divided into four halls. Every generation's Hall Master of the four halls was an Immortal Martial Realm expert.
It was said that the Temple of Eternal Life had been a mysterious organization since ancient times. During ancient times, the Temple of Eternal Life's four Hall Masters were Immortal Martial Realm experts.
At that time, the Eternal Life Palace could be said to be extremely terrifying. If not for the checks and balances of the Primordial Age and the inexplicable changes that occurred to the Eternal Life Palace that led to its decline, the Zhenwu Continent would probably have been ruled by the Eternal Life Palace long ago.
However, with the changes in the Zhenwu Continent and the passage of time, the Temple of Eternal Life gradually faded from people's sight. The last time the various factions received news about the Temple of Eternal Life was during ancient times. At that time, the four Hall Masters had already become Immortal Martial Realm experts.
According to ancient records, in ancient times, someone had discovered that the Temple of Eternal Life was involved in the outbreak of the Righteous and Demonic Great War. However, the Righteous and Demonic Great War was too intense at that time, so no one was able to verify it. After the Righteous and Demonic Great War, everyone fought for their own benefits. The matter of the Temple of Eternal Life was gradually forgotten.
From ancient times until now, if it were not for the high-profile appearance of the Temple of Eternal Life this time, the various factions would not have discovered the existence of the Temple of Eternal Life.
If the Temple of Eternal Life still had traces to follow, then the appearance of Hades was completely like the legends. The Hades of the Underworld had descended to the human world.
This was because not a single power had been able to find any traces of the Underworld, nor had they been able to find any information about it.
As for the experts of the Hades who appeared, no one could find any clues about them.
According to the strength of Ximen Chuixue and the others, even if they were hidden deep in the mountains and forests, it was impossible for them not to have any information about them. One had to know that there were only so many experts in the Zhenwu Continent. It was impossible for any expert to not be discovered. Even if there were hidden experts, it was impossible for there to be so many of them. Moreover, they were all from the Hades. This made everyone puzzled.
Unable to understand, these people began to think about other things. For example, if the rumors were true, Ximen Chuixue and the others really crawled out of the Hades, or if these people came from the heavens.
However, as soon as these two ideas appeared, they were rejected by everyone.
What a joke. Crawling out of the Hades? Not to mention whether there were Hades or not, even if there were Hades, no one could come out from there. It was simply nonsense. There were countless experts in the Void-breaking Realm in the ancient times, but no one had ever heard of a Void-breaking Realm expert saying that there was a place called Hades.
As for the heavens, it was even more ridiculous. Even a Void-breaking Realm expert couldn't go to the heavens, let alone people like Ximen Chuixue who hadn't even reached the Immortal Martial Arts Realm. If they wanted to go to the heavens, they could only break through the void and ascend. Only then could they leave the Zhenwu Continent. People below the Void-breaking Realm couldn't even think about it.
.....
Shenlang didn't know what the various factions were thinking. At this time, he was sitting in the carriage, holding an ancient book and reading it with great interest.
The ancient book was called the Records of Zhenwu.
The reason why Shenlang read the Records of Zhenwu was that he wanted to know the origin of the Executing Heaven Sword.
Sure enough, the Records of Zhenwu didn't disappoint Shenlang. On a certain page, he found information about the Executing Heaven Sword.
The Executing Heaven Sword was a divine weapon that surpassed the Heaven Stage, and there were very few divine weapons in the Zhenwu Continent. Those that could be called divine weapons were the weapons of the supreme experts in the ancient times who were called True Gods.
In fact, the Void-breaking Realm experts who were called True Gods were called True Gods not because their strength had reached the level of gods, but because of their great achievements.
The owner of the Executing Heaven Sword, the Executing Heaven Sword Venerable, was one of the True Gods in the Zhenwu Continent.
In the ancient times, the Executing Heaven Sword Venerable had joined forces with several other True Gods to suppress the Demon Lord and the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, making great contributions to the human race.
The strength of the few people who were called True Gods had already reached the realm where they could ascend at that time. However, for the sake of the human race in the Zhenwu Continent, they still resolutely stayed in the Zhenwu Continent to help the human race fight against the Demon Clan.
There were a total of five Executing Heaven Swords. When the five Executing Heaven Swords were together, they could form a formation called the Executing Heaven Sword Formation. The Executing Heaven Sword Formation was very powerful. It was said that it had the power to destroy the world. With the Executing Heaven Sword Formation, the Executing Heaven Sword Venerable had even killed supreme experts in the Void-breaking Realm. The most typical example was the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan.
Each of the Demon Emperors of the Demon Clan was a great demon in the Void-breaking Realm. The Executing Heaven Sword Venerable had once killed three Demon Emperors by himself. From this, one could see how powerful the Executing Heaven Sword Venerable was.
A supreme expert in the Void-breaking Realm was an existence that could break through space. In the entire Zhenwu Continent, the Void-breaking Realm experts could go anywhere they wanted with just a thought. It could be said that there were no taboos. They could go wherever they wanted.
However, even a terrifying supreme expert in the Void-breaking Realm had to die in the face of the Executing Heaven Sword Formation. From this, one could see how terrifying the Executing Heaven Sword Formation was.
And from this, one could also see how powerful the Executing Heaven Sword Venerable was.
Later on, because of the decisive battle with the supreme expert of the Demon Clan, the Demon Lord, the Executing Heaven Sword Venerable sacrificed his life as the price to use the Executing Heaven Sword Formation to control the Demon Lord's movements. This bought time for the last true god, the Heavenly Sword Master, to finally suppress the Demon Lord in exchange for peace in the Zhenwu Continent.
According to historical records, after the Executing Heaven Sword Venerable died, he gave five Executing Heaven Swords to the Heavenly Sword Master. And before the Heavenly Sword Master died, he sealed the five Executing Heaven Swords in five different places.
However, no one knew the exact location of the five Executing Heaven Swords. Therefore, ever since the great war between the primordial humans and the Demon Clan, the Executing Heaven Swords had not appeared in the world. Because the Executing Heaven Sword's power was too great, the Heavenly Sword Master used the last of his strength to seal the Executing Heaven Swords separately.
The Executing Heaven Sword was a ferocious sword. When the Executing Heaven Sword appeared, it needed a large amount of blood as a catalyst for its appearance. And this time, the Blood Demon Sect and Kōshū's plan to attack the various factions had accidentally lured the Executing Heaven Sword out.
That was why the Executing Heaven Sword appeared and let everyone know of the existence of the Executing Heaven Sword.
Reading up to this point, Shenlang slowly put down the historical records.
His eyes flickered with an inexplicable light. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he muttered.
