56: Emperor Wu has really arrived! Emperor Wu has left again!

It wasn't just Nangong Qin.

This golden Saint Sword, named Heavenly Emperor, could cover the sky, and the light it emitted illuminated all rivers, making the night sky, which had already fallen into deep night, as bright as day.

"W-what is this?!"

The Xuan Realm powerhouses, currently scurrying around like ants on a hot pan, instinctively looked up at the Heavenly Emperor Sword that had suddenly appeared, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit a long, thick baguette.

This sword was too big!!!

Its aura was too strong!!!

Stronger than all the powerhouses they had ever seen!!!

Under their gaze, the golden Saint Sword swung down heavily, cutting straight down.

Its luster incinerated heaven and earth, and Sword Qi swept across the eight directions.

One sword strike simultaneously cut towards 77 passages distributed in various directions across the Xuan Realm.

From the passages, surging Demonic Qi poured out, like the werewolves from before.

There were also sphinxes, tiger-headed giants, or four-armed monkey demons, silver-scaled snake demons…

Within the 77 passages, the demons that rushed out this time were of more races and possessed even more exaggerated strength.

The lowest cultivation level was that of a mighty expert or King Realm, while the strong ones were Saints, Great Saints, and there was even the aura of a Saint King.

No matter their Origin, their strength, or their purpose, with this single sword strike, they all fell into boxes!

As the sword light struck down, endless blood mist exploded!

One sword swept away all demons!

"Is this a dream?"

"I'm not mistaken, right? The demons that rushed out of the passages are all annihilated? Who is striking the sword? Is it a giant from our Xuan Realm?"

"What giant! This must be Heavenly Dao! Heavenly Dao above, I thank you for saving my pathetic life!!"

"..."

The Xuan Realm powerhouses near the passage entrances, who were struggling on the brink of death, watched the demons being completely annihilated and were utterly stunned.

After they recovered, all they felt was shock and exclamations.

This sword strike was too fantastical, too shocking.

It shocked the entire Xuan Realm into a daze, and everyone was guessing who it was!

Nangong Qin stood on a branch of a Divine Tree at this moment, holding onto the tree canopy, her Phoenix eyes trembling. Her perspective allowed her to clearly see the situation within the passage beneath the Divine Tree.

This sword strike was not as simple as merely annihilating all the demons that had rushed out.

She focused and found that even the demons that had not yet appeared within the passage were cleanly cut down by this sword strike.

A series of messages constantly came to Nangong Qin's ears. Chongxuan Pavilion's communication channels had not yet collapsed, and news from all passages across the Xuan Realm was being simultaneously transmitted to her.

She murmured, "This sword strike… is astonishing."

At the 77 passages, the demons that rushed out of each passage were terrifyingly powerful and numerous. What kind of immense power was needed to accomplish such an exaggerated feat?

She stared intently at the two characters "Heavenly Emperor" carved on the golden Saint Sword in the sky, and suddenly her pupils contracted, as if she remembered something.

She remembered once when Chu Feng suggested playing a game with her, and handed her a sword and some strange clothes...

The sword's body seemed to have "Heavenly Emperor" carved on it.

As Nangong Qin recalled this, her breathing quickened, and her gaze focused again on the Celestial Court, wanting to confirm once more.

However, she found that the golden Saint Sword gradually faded in the sky, and night fell once again.

A gentle breeze blew, and the remaining Divine Tree branches and leaves in the Divine Tree Sea swayed lightly, revealing a hint of joy.

Nangong Qin was stunned. Her gaze once again fell upon the passage below, which was empty. No demons appeared, and it was as if nothing had ever happened.

...

Above the Nine Heavens.

Chu Feng stood on the clouds. With a raise of his hand, he stored the Heavenly Emperor Sword into his God Ocean, squinting his eyes and looking at his hand.

He weighed the Eternal Gate in his hand: "Oh, it seems you've gained quite a few benefits."

Just now, when he tried to push open the Eternal Gate, he only pushed it a little, and it almost exhausted the Xuan Realm's Origin.

On the star sphere of the Eternal Gate, the colorful liquid, which had originally been almost depleted, had unknowingly accumulated a shallow layer again.

"Can killing these demons increase the Xuan Realm's Origin?"

"Or rather, is it an effect brought about by the connection between the Xuan Realm and the opposite world?"

Chu Feng tapped the frame of the Eternal Gate with his finger, pondering.

Although he didn't care much about the fate of the Xuan Realm, he had his own principles.

Since the matter started because of him, it was only right for him to resolve the demons that rushed out of the Xuan Realm's passages.

After clearing the demons, the seventy-seven passages had almost riddled the Xuan Realm like a sieve, forcibly connecting the opposite world with the Xuan Realm.

He had originally considered whether to block these passages and restore the Xuan Realm to its original state, but now that he saw the Xuan Realm's Origin begin to increase, his thoughts became active.

Hiss!

While he was pondering, Chu Feng sensed a strange sound coming from one of the passages.

Immediately following that was a terrifying and overwhelming pressure that swept through the passage towards the entire Xuan Realm, as if to sweep across the universe.

This pressure far exceeded that of a Saint King!

"There's still a big fish?"

He narrowed his eyes, and his dark pupils suddenly turned blood-red, with countless Dao patterns emerging.

Before the pressure could even leave the passage, it was fixed by the gaze of these blood-red eyes.

[You used Demon Emperor's Eyes and stripped Heavenly Mandate Protagonist Martial Emperor of a talent—Heavenly Peng Extreme Speed.]

[Heavenly Mandate Protagonist Martial Emperor lost the Heavenly Peng Extreme Speed talent, Destiny Value decreased by ten thousand points. You obtained heavenly fate treasure chest * 1.]

[Your title "Newbie Villain" effect has been activated. You additionally obtained heavenly fate treasure chest * 1.]

A peculiar golden Heavenly Peng phantom suddenly appeared in his blood-red eyes.

Countless insights immediately arose. The Demon Emperor's Eyes activated its ability and stripped away a talent called Heavenly Peng Extreme Speed.

This was not the main point.

The main point was that the System dutifully began to provide emotional value, with a series of broadcasts sounding.

Chu Feng was stunned.

Such a coincidence?

The one whose pressure came from the opposite passage was Martial Emperor?

He really did descend upon the Xuan Realm!

Chu Feng glanced at the celestial phenomena. The moon's shadow was faint, clouds rolled, and the Yin Qi was strong. He realized that this day had just ended.

Just as he had predicted with the Great Fate Talisman twenty-eight days ago, the moment the gears of time turned to this day, he met the new Heavenly Mandate Protagonist.

"As expected, I wasn't wrong. Martial Emperor is indeed the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist."

"Why did he run away again?"

Suddenly, Chu Feng frowned. He sensed that the pressure within the passage, having only had a negligible talent stripped by the Demon Emperor's Eyes, actually began to retreat.

The dignified Martial Emperor, meeting for the first time, was so stingy?

Adhering to the simple idea of "if others respect me an inch, I'll bully them a mile," Chu Feng unhesitatingly extended his Great Emperor Divine Thought into this passage.

PS: No more tonight, still owe one more update, will make it up tomorrow.
