The hopes of the Heaven Emperor, Zhuang Shen, Lang Qing and the others had yet to be extinguished.
For them, their last hope was the attitude of the Earthly Sovereign and the Concealed Sovereign.
For thousands of years, the Three Sovereigns had reigned supreme in the World beyond Worlds. Amongst them, the Earthly Sovereign had always been their leader.
The Concealed Sovereign lived in seclusion and rarely expressed his opinions. In most cases, he would tacitly support the Earthly Sovereign's decision.
The World beyond Worlds' current attitude towards the Dim Radiant Emperor Yin Tianxia stemmed from the Earthly Sovereign's decision.
The reason the lineage of Yan Zhaoge's mother, Xue Chuqing, had vanished without a trace in the World beyond Worlds was also due to the attitude of the Earthly Sovereign.
Even though the Sword Sovereign didn't support it, he didn't oppose it either.
That was why Lang Qing, Daoist Oneheaven, and the others were searching for Xue Chuqing.
Even though the Earthly Sovereign had not given any clear orders, the fact that the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng had been searching for Xue Chuqing in the central Jun Heaven Territory all this while, more or less, indicated that something was amiss.
Whether it was Yan Zhaoge's obtaining of the Dim Radiant Wheel or their relationship with Xue Chuqing, it had all been taboo in the World beyond Worlds over the years.
If the Earthly Sovereign and the Concealed Sovereign were to express their stance, there might still be a chance to turn the situation around.
"Elder Wang isn't willing to do it himself. Could it be that he already knows the relationship between the Sword Emperor and the Yan Clan?" A thought quickly flashed through Lang Qing's mind, "But since he's willing to lend out the Breath Soil, it means that he and his majesty, the Earthly Sovereign, aren't happy to see the Sword Sovereign and the Yan Clan being too deeply involved …"
Just as he was thinking, he saw the black-clothed youth beside Bai Tao raise his hand.
The sword light suddenly appeared and streaked across the horizon. It bloomed in the sky and turned into a ball of light and shadow.
The light gradually solidified and formed a human figure.
Seeing this figure, the hearts of the Heaven Primordial Emperor, Lang Qing and the others involuntarily sank.
Looking at the silhouetted figure in the air, Yan Zhaoge saw that it was a middle-aged man in ancient attire with a high crown. He looked to be around forty years of age, his face calm and his gaze sharp.
He was like a sword that could split open the heavens, but he did not show any sharpness. He just stood there, like a lonely peak that pierced through the clouds, making people look up to him.
This dignified, solemn middle-aged man was the disciple of the Exalted Gold Luminary who was currently one of the World beyond Worlds' Three Sovereigns, the Sword Sovereign!
Central Jun Heaven Territory, the master of Kunlun Mountain's Northern High Peak's Jade Capital Crag.
Sword Emperor, Yue Zhenbei!
This light figure wasn't conversing. Instead, it was Yue Zhenbei's reply after his disciple contacted Yue Zhenbei, who was still in the void's outskirts.
Previously, only Bai Tao's group of three had seen this image, but now, everyone else had seen it as well.
"Everything I've accomplished in my life came from my teacher."
The Sword Emperor didn't speak quickly, but every word was sonorous and powerful, like the collision of gold and iron.
"My master only left behind a single bloodline. I will do my best to ensure his safety, even in front of Elder Jiang and Elder Yang."
"All these years, I've always kept my promise. If someone breaks the promise, then don't blame my sword for not recognizing them!"
Although the message was left a long time ago, everyone present could still feel the fierceness and decisiveness of the message.
At this moment, the originally heavy and blunt Sword Emperor suddenly revealed a shocking sharpness.
The terrifying Sword Will seemed to have transcended the limits of time, coming from the past to the present, transcending the limits of space, descending from the Void to the Upper Realm.
Even the two True Immortals, the Female Empress and the Qian Emperor, were shocked.
The so-called Elder Jiang and Elder Yang referred to the other two Sovereigns of the World beyond Worlds!
Whoever dared to show themselves now would have to bear the sharpness of the Sword Emperor.
Even against the Earthly Sovereigns and Concealed Sovereigns, the Sword Emperor would still draw his sword and battle them on this matter.
The Southwestern Exalt Bai Tao now looked at the Northwestern Exalt Lian Zulin, saying softly, "Northwest Lian, please leave. My Jade Capital Crag will attempt to mediate the matter of your Red Sea's loss in the future. If you do not leave now, you will inevitably hurt our past relationship."
Lian Zulin sighed, "Lian Zulin dares not forget the Sword Emperor's kindness to me. Since it is a decree of the Sword Emperor, I will obey. I only hope that when the Sword Emperor finds that Xue Chuqing in the future, you can speak up for my Red Sea's lineage."
She bowed towards the image of the Sword Emperor in the sky before turning and leaving.
The gazes of the Heaven Emperor, Zhuang Shen, Lang Qing and Daoist Oneheaven simultaneously flickered as a bad premonition arose within their hearts.
Indeed, that black-clothed youth said, "Senior apprentice-uncle Yan, junior apprentice-brother Yan, it is their ability that Broad Creed Mountain was able to defend the Royal Reed Sea safely."
"Still, since you have specifically chosen Broad Creed Mountain's opening ceremony to visit, it would be unbecoming of you to leave without leaving behind any congratulatory gifts."
The Heaven Emperor frowned, "Jade Capital Crag is really too domineering. This humble Daoist is willing to let this go on account of the Sword Sovereign's face. Still, the Sword Sovereign is still able to reign supreme in the World beyond Worlds."
"You have great enmity with senior apprentice-uncle Yan and junior apprentice-brother Yan of Broad Creed Mountain." Bai Tao shook his head, sighing, "My Master cherishes talent, considering that Daoism is currently in the ascendant. Talents are hard to come by, and it is not easy for you to cultivate. Otherwise, even if Qilin Cliff is dissatisfied, they would still not let this go."
"Now, it is merely a reminder from my Master."
The pupils of the Heaven Emperor, Lang Qing and the others abruptly dilated!
"So what if he is domineering?" That black-clothed youth had an indifferent expression on his face, "You came here to pick a fight. Now, you think you can come and go as you please?"
He turned and said to Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di, "This is my Master's first congratulatory gift. He said that when he returns to the World beyond Worlds in the future, he will personally come to congratulate us."
Before his words had landed, the image of the Sword Sovereign within the sky condensed into a streak of sword-light, descending before Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di.
"Thank you, senior apprentice-uncle Yue," Yan Zhaoge blinked, looking at his father.
Yan Di smiled, "Since you are using the sword, I'll leave it to you then."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge raised a hand to receive that sword-light.
The scenes before his eyes instantly changed.
Amidst the dim, chaotic primordial universe, a streak of light that was bright to the extreme suddenly appeared.
A streak of light separated the chaotic primordial universe, the chaotic elements of earth, water, fire and wind rampaging chaotically in all directions before regaining stability.
Yin and yang were separated, primordial chaos having just opened, clear qi rising while turbid qi descended.
A brand new world of creation was established, the heavens and earth being opened!
Amidst this majestic scene, the powerful concept of opening the heavens and splitting the earth permeated the entire universe as it was unstoppable!
"Good sword art," Yan Zhaoge praised, looking at the Heaven Emperor and the others.
Seeing that sword-light, the Heaven Emperor sighed, not saying anything as he turned and left, his figure instantly vanishing amidst space.
The Western Exalt Lang Qing and the Eastern Exalt Daoist Oneheaven had the same reaction as well, each executing their own abilities as they speedily left the Royal Reed Sea.
Still, as Yan Zhaoge brandished his sword, the sword-light in his hand vanished.
The next moment, a sword-shadow flickered past in mid-air.
That sword-shadow resembled a banner whilst also resembling an axe whilst also easily breaking through space.
Three muffled groans resounded simultaneously.
The formless and formless Western Exalt Lang Qing who had transformed into space was forcibly squeezed out of the fractured space, various parts of his body distorting strangely.
The Eastern Exalt Daoist Oneheaven who had unleashed An Instant's Thunder with all his true essence instantly blazing, unleashing An Instant's Thunder was broken through by a single sword as his right arm was severed.
The Heaven Emperor first executed Heaven Earth Within Sleeve, his sleeve instantly splitting apart.
Thick earth rose from within his sleeve, verdant green trees towering into the heavens.
The next moment, however, the great earth shattered and the massive trees snapped!
