Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 5608
Chapter 5608 Temple of World Annihilation
“The Temple of World Annihilation!”
….
Upon discovering it, Zhen Ling immediately issued a stern order: any Emperor entering Mie Sheng’s temple was to be executed without mercy.
The Temple of World Annihilation and the Qishen Temple were archenemies, engaged in a life-and-death struggle.
Though the Inheritors knew little about it, they didn’t perceive it as a bad thing.
Especially Shang, he was even more excited. He headed straight to the temporal river, challenging the Temple of World Annihilation.
In just a single era, the powerful figures emerging from the Temple of World Annihilation were no weaker than the Inheritors cultivated by the Qishen Temple.
Numerous Ultimate Emperors appeared.
It was a momentum opposing the Qishen Temple emerged and was unstoppable.
Yet, all of this had nothing to do with Jian Wushuang.
He remained in seclusion, and the tales about him in the outside world remained unchanged.
Many even believed that he had already successfully integrated with the Dao.
Jian Wushuang himself wanted to as well!
However, when he comprehended the power of the Starry Sky, he inadvertently let an era slip by.
There were no traces of time’s passage, yet a long period had elapsed.
The Four Great Secret Realms were completely unified, with no resistance whatsoever.
Now, most of the Inheritors had entered the Original Universe.
Although the Qishen Temple no longer absorbed trial participants, those Inheritors venturing into the Original Universe, and even into other universes, opened wide the gates, establishing themselves as founders.
These Inheritors were considered the first generation disciples.
The second generation disciples were the powerful individuals nurtured by these Inheritors.
This was something tacitly approved by Zhen Ling.
The emergence of the Temple of World Annihilation disrupted the Qishen Temple’s plans, forcing them to make temporary adjustments.
The results were quite satisfactory.
The river of time had entered an era of great eruption.
The first era could be considered as the universe’s initial exploration.
The second era marked the appearance of Qishen Temple, a brief yet splendid period.
The third era unfolded as a time of conflict between two temples.
Both sides invested vast resources, fully unlocking the potential of the temporal river.
The days of the tier 5 emperors, once the era of the strong, had already passed.
Now, venturing through the river of time, if you weren’t a tier 6 Emperor, you would hesitate to claim strength.
It could already be foreseen that extraordinary strong individuals would emerge in the future of this temporal river.
A single era’s time was not enough.
In the first era, many supreme-peak experts appeared, but there was still no sign of reaching the Tribulation realm.
Originally, everyone had high hopes for Shang; after all, he was the first Ultimate Emperor. However, an entire era passed without any movement.
He had been continuously seeking a confrontation with the Temple of World Annihilation at the supreme-peak, but there was no indication of a breakthrough.
Nevertheless, his strength was terrifyingly formidable and had subtly become the top figure in the temporal river.
This temporal river also gained a reputation, though not in the name of strength, but in connection with the two temples.
The ‘Mie-Qi Temporal Space’!
When this name surfaced, Zhen Ling was on the verge of directly declaring war on the Temple of World Annihilation, but the more he thought about it, the more fearful he became.
The initial prophecy was too accurate.
To truly annihilate the Qishen Temple!
In comparison to the outside world, Jian Wushuang’s accumulation was also extremely vast.
In the power of the Starry Sky, he gazed down upon it, feeling remarkably at ease.
Now, utilizing the power of the Starry Sky, he had already created two pinnacle secret techniques.
Starry Sky Chronicles, a Sword Dao imbued with the power of the Starry Sky.
Eternal Ancient Transformation, a Transformation Dao imbued with the power of the Starry Sky.
In the past, when reaching the peak state, he could only maintain it for an incense stick’s worth of time. Now, he could sustain it for a whole hour.
This was only the first transformation of the Eternal Ancient Transformation; after becoming the Emperor, he would continue down this path.
As for the Starry Sky Chronicles, he hadn’t delved into it much, only perfecting the first sword move.
The backlash time it brought him gradually shortened.
He could even compensate for the backlash with the power of Life, but the cost was that within an hour, he couldn’t unleash the second sword move.
However, this was still a tremendous success.
This way, after casting the first sword of the Starry Sky Chronicles, he could still maintain the peak state.
He wouldn’t experience a drastic drop in his realm as he did in the past after casting the first sword move.
In this epoch, he reaped a lot.
His spatial realm reached the black hole realm.
The coveted black hole realm was finally attained.
Moreover, the Origin Source of All Things still had more than half remaining. After the Dao Merge, he could go and compete for the peak of the black hole realm.
He hadn’t yet achieved integration with the Dao, and yet already pondering how to reach the Tribulation realm.
Complete mastery of space, the pinnacle secret technique.
At this point, he could be considered to have made preliminary progress.
After the Dao Merge, relying on the power of the Starry Sky, he could refine the pinnacle secret technique to perfection.
Crossing into the universe realm of space was the simplest.
It was also his greatest reliance for increasing strength.
Once mastering universe space, his mere thought might indeed transform the universe illusion into a real universe.
Combine that with the power of Life!
Jian Wushuang had already started yearning. If the universe he created with his Thought power could give birth to life, wouldn’t that mean he could open up a universe?
However, there was a troublesome point.
Having the power of Life but lacking the Origin Source was unacceptable.
He couldn’t possibly use the power of All Things to evolve the Origin Source of All Things!
That would only weaken his strength.
“Skysight Heavenly Chessboard!” Jian Wushuang’s eyes lit up as he thought of something.
He had plenty of Origin Sources, all in the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard.
If he integrated the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard into the One Thought Universe, combined with his power of Life, wouldn’t he be able to resurrect the pieces on the board?
If it happened that way, Jian Wushuang could already imagine a scene in the future when he fought against others, with a group of powerful beings emerging from the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard.
Swallowing his saliva, he stopped daydreaming. Everything was happening quickly; let his strength prove it all!
The Dao Merge was right in front of him.
Time to embark!
Heading west!
Whoosh!
Directly tearing through the fabric of space, he appeared above the Yuanyang Lake. With a sweep of his Thought power, Jian Wushuang furrowed his brow.
“Where are the people?” Jian Wushuang wondered.
He noticed that the formidable experts of the entire Elder Palace were at least 99 percent fewer. Moreover, they were all unfamiliar faces.
Just as he was puzzled, a figure appeared in front of him.
The person was none other than Wu Zuo, but only one of Wu Zuo’s avatars.
Now that the temporal river was caught in the opposition of the Qishen Temple and the Temple of World Annihilation were in opposition, frequent conflicts occurred, and his main body needed to stay outside to oversee matters.
Currently, the struggle between the two factions extended across the universe.
“Wushuang, I thought you were going to directly perform the Dao Merge this time!” Wu Zuo chuckled.
Jian Wushuang shook his head and replied, “Before merging with Dao, I need to make a trip to the Mahayana Spirit Mountain in the Western Region.”
“True, I’ll transmit your message to the ancestral master of the Mahayana Spirit Mountain so that they can come directly!” Wu Zuo spoke with the same domineering tone, seeking help from others but making them come over directly.
Although Jian Wushuang was somewhat uncomfortable with this approach, he was still grateful.
However, this time, he intended to go in person.
Given the gravity of the situation, he couldn’t act recklessly. He politely declined Wu Zuo’s kindness and inquired about the current situation.
The number of experts in the Elder Palace had sharply decreased, and it seemed that the current powerful figures in the Elder Palace were all native emperors.
Upon hearing Jian Wushuang’s confusion, Wu Zuo recounted the significant and minor events that had occurred in this era.
