132: A freak is born, and it is killed with one finger.

The moment Ye Fan fused with the "sword emperor demonic body," which was filled with endless Demonic Might, the Peak experience of power surging through his entire body that he had anticipated did not arrive.

Instead, there was an excruciating pain, like his body was forcibly "expelling" a foreign object!

And that "demonic body," which should have become one with him, slowly stood up from the throne made of divine and demonic skeletons.

It broke free from the Law chains, shimmering with golden sacred runes, that the Nameless Sword Emperor had personally set upon it. The crisp "crack" sound echoed through the depths of the Burial Sword Valley like a death knell signaling the breaking of an ancient prison.

Then, it slowly opened those... pure golden eyes, which did not belong to a "Sword Emperor," but were filled with Joke, greed, and contempt for all living beings.

"Haha... Hahahaha!"

A hoarse, ancient, and wildly arrogant laugh, filled with the vicissitudes of endless ages, erupted from the "demonic body"!

"Nameless... Did you think that with your pathetic Sword Intent, you could suppress me for another ten thousand years?!"

"You ultimately overlooked... this most interesting variable called 'humanity' after all!"

Ye Fan and the Sword Attendant elder deep within his Soul, upon seeing those golden eyes and hearing that voice, felt an unprecedented, ultimate fear from the deepest part of their Soul, as if they had encountered a natural predator!

That was not the "Sword Emperor"!

That was not his previous life's "demonic body" at all!

That was... an extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon King, whom his previous life had suppressed for tens of thousands of years, using his own body as a "cage"!

"No... impossible..." The Sword Attendant's aged voice, for the first time, carried an uncontrollable, hysterical tremor and terror! He seemed to recognize the terrifying origin of this "ancient monstrosity," and shrieked out the name that only existed in the oldest forbidden myths!

"You... You are... the 'Heavenly Demon King'?"

"Oh?"

The "sword emperor demonic body," now occupied by the Heavenly Demon King, slowly turned its head. Those pure golden eyes, for the first time, looked directly at Ye Fan, who was trembling like an ant at its feet, and the remnant Soul within him, which was already scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

A look of interest, as if recalling something, appeared on his face.

"An interesting little fellow, and an... even older, already decaying little fellow."

He seemed to completely disregard this former SSS-Class Demigod-Ranked powerhouse, merely speaking in a tone of "commentary," filled with supreme majesty, saying indifferently.

Immediately, as if losing all interest, he casually pointed a finger towards Ye Fan's direction, from hundreds of meters away, gently.

"Noisy."

Chii—!

A pure, indescribable black light of annihilation, as if capable of completely erasing the very concept of "existence," flashed from his fingertip!

Wherever that black light passed, time, space, energy, Law... everything seemed to be forcibly wiped away by an invisible hand, leaving behind an absolute, pitch-black trajectory of "nothingness"!

"Emperor! Run—!"

The Sword Attendant let out his last roar in this world, filled with determination and loyalty!

His SSS-Class Demigod-Ranked remnant Soul, at this instant, violently ignited! Transforming into the most brilliant, purest Soul light shield, it blocked in front of Ye Fan, attempting to buy even a ten-thousandth of a second of life for his "Emperor"!

However... it was useless.

Before that "beyond-the-norm" black light of annihilation, his Soul light shield, which was strong enough to withstand a full-power attack from a Demigod-Ranked powerhouse, was silently... pierced through and annihilated, like a bubble in the sunlight, without even stirring a single ripple.

The black light, its momentum undiminished, instantly entered Ye Fan's body.

Ye Fan's whole body trembled violently, yet he felt no pain.

He only felt that, deep within his Soul, that aged Soul which had always been his teacher and friend, guiding him and protecting him, his greatest Golden Finger upon which he relied for life... at this instant, was completely and cleanly erased from this world by that black light, along with all its memories, all its power, and all traces of its existence.

Thump.

Ye Fan's knees buckled, and he fell to the ground. Those eyes, which had just rekindled with endless fighting spirit, were once again completely submerged by a deeper, boundless... despair.

The Golden Finger... was gone?

One finger.

Just one finger.

It completely annihilated the remnant Soul of a former SSS-Class Demigod-Ranked powerhouse?!

This... what kind of terrifying monster, completely beyond his comprehension, was this?!

After annihilating the "noisy" old ant in his eyes, the Heavenly Demon King seemed to have merely done a trivial matter. He surveyed the Sword Tomb that had imprisoned him for tens of thousands of years, and a faint look of satisfaction, like a king inspecting his territory, appeared on his face.

Behind him, space, like water ripples, violently distorted.

Four "Saint Lord-Ranked guards," clad in ancient and ferocious black Demonic Armor, their bodies entwined with terrifying Devilish Qi capable of suffocating even a Demigod, and whose aura was no weaker than the Third Ancestor of the Long Family, silently stepped out from the distorted space.

The moment they appeared, they knelt on one knee before the "sword emperor demonic body," and in a hoarse voice filled with endless fanaticism and reverence, like chanting an ancient demonic scripture, they all shouted in unison:

"Greetings... Our King... awakens!"

The Heavenly Demon King ignored their worship. He merely slowly raised his head, those pure golden eyes, contemptuous of all living beings, seemed to pierce through the endless Sword Qi of the Burial Sword Valley, pierce through the layers of the atmosphere, pierce through the supreme Law formation of the Long Family Forbidden Ground, which was capable of resisting divine prying... Finally, it precisely locked onto Lin Tian, who was currently in seclusion, his entire body radiating boundless life energy like a nascent Universe.

He ignored Ye Fan, who was at his feet, already scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, and dared not even move.

Because, in his eyes, an ant that had lost all value was no longer worth even a shred of his attention.

For the first time, a truly interested, playful smile, like a gourmet discovering a top-tier ingredient, appeared on his face.

"Oh?"

"In this era, a 'fruit of the world tree' so delicious and filled with 'primordial' aura has actually... been born?"

He extended his crimson tongue and lightly licked his lips. His golden eyes were filled with undisguised, primal greed and... appetite.

"Perfect."

"It will serve as... my first... snack after awakening."
