95: One-Sword Man 7

"You truly have some skill to be able to kill the Heavenly Lords of two Heavens in a row."

The Mystic Ice Heaven Lord spoke, her voice as cold as snow,

"But the Third Heaven will be your end."

She extended her slender hand, and an ice lotus condensed in her palm.

The ice lotus rotated, emitting a terrifying chill that caused the temperature of the entire palace to instantly drop by dozens of degrees.

Zhang Tie and the other three felt their blood freezing and hurriedly circulated their True Qi to resist.

But Qin Jiuge remained unmoved, as if the chill did not exist at all.

"Mystic Ice Buries the World!"

The ice lotus exploded, turning into countless ice crystals that shot toward Qin Jiuge and the other four like a rainstorm.

Each ice crystal contained terrifying ice power, enough to freeze all life.

Qin Jiuge raised his blade and slashed.

The black blade light transformed into a barrier, blocking all the ice crystals outside.

The blade light collided with the ice crystals, making a "pssh, pssh" sound as the crystals melted and shattered one after another.

A flash of surprise crossed the Mystic Ice Heaven Lord's eyes; her Mystic Ice Buries the World was a top-tier martial art of the Third Heaven, yet it was blocked so easily?

She held nothing back and attacked with full force.

"Ice Seals Ten Thousand Miles!"

An even more terrifying chill erupted from her body, completely freezing the entire Mystic Ice Palace, as if even space itself had solidified.

Zhang Tie and the other three instantly turned into ice sculptures, unable to move.

Only Qin Jiuge remained standing.

A faint layer of black light covered his body; it was a protective barrier formed by Devilish Qi, completely insulating him from the cold.

"Have you played enough?"

Qin Jiuge asked indifferently.

The Mystic Ice Heaven Lord felt a shiver in her heart, and before she could react, Qin Jiuge's blade had already slashed out.

This slash was faster than any of his previous ones!

It was so fast that time itself seemed to have stopped!

The Mystic Ice Heaven Lord only saw a thin black line flash before her eyes, and then she felt a chill on her neck.

She looked down and saw her head separated from her body, slowly sliding off.

"So... fast..."

This was her final consciousness.

The Third Heaven Heavenly Lord, dead.

Qin Jiuge sheathed his blade, and Devilish Qi surged out, melting the ice on Zhang Tie and the other three.

The four regained their movement, looking at the corpse of the Mystic Ice Heaven Lord, already numb.

Another single slash...

Just how strong was this blind man?

Qin Jiuge walked behind the Mystic Ice Heaven Lord's throne and similarly found a secret chamber and a teleportation array.

This time, the Restriction was more complex, but in front of the Devilish Qi, it was still vulnerable.

He broke the Restriction and activated the teleportation array.

"Continue."

Qin Jiuge stepped into the teleportation array.

Zhang Tie and the other three were already used to it and followed him in.

Just like that, Qin Jiuge killed his way up layer by layer.

In the Fourth Heaven, he killed the Azure Wood Heavenly Lord with one slash.

In the Fifth Heaven, he killed the Blazing Fire Heavenly Lord with one slash.

In the Sixth Heaven, he killed the Thick Earth Heavenly Lord with one slash.

In the Seventh Heaven, he killed the Sharp Gold Heavenly Lord with one slash.

In the Eighth Heaven, he killed the Raging Wind Heavenly Lord with one slash.

In the Ninth Heaven, he killed the Thunder Heavenly Lord with one slash.

For every Heaven, he only used one slash.

In every Heaven, no one could stop him for even a step.

The title "one-sword superman" swept through the Ten Heavens like a hurricane.

From the lowest level, Dustlight City, to the Thunder Heavenly Palace of the Ninth Heaven, everyone knew of him.

Countless low-level Martial Artists regarded Qin Jiuge as hope, while countless upper-level Martial Artists viewed him as a nightmare.

Zhang Tie and the other three had followed Qin Jiuge the entire time, witnessing this miraculous journey with their own eyes.

Their strength had also rapidly improved through fight after fight, and now they had reached heights they previously dared not imagine.

But the higher they went, the more fearful they felt.

Because the Tenth Heaven would be the final challenge.

There lived the true ruler of this world,

the Ten Heavens General Heavenly Lord, an existence who had ruled this world for thousands of years.

It was said that his strength had already surpassed the limits of a Mortal, reaching the legendary "God Realm."

Could Qin Jiuge still kill him with one slash?

...

Ninth Heaven, Thunder Heavenly Palace.

Qin Jiuge and the other four walked out of the teleportation array; this was the final checkpoint before heading to the Tenth Heaven.

Unexpectedly, there was no one to stop them here.

The Heavenly Palace was empty, with only a huge portal suspended in the center of the main hall.

The portal emitted seven-colored light, and behind the door, a more magnificent world was vaguely visible — the Tenth Heaven.

"Brother Qin, I feel like something is wrong."

Zhang Tie said vigilantly,

"The previous eight Heavens all had heavy guards, so why is there no one in the Ninth Heaven?"

Qin Jiuge's Divine Sense swept across the entire Heavenly Palace, and indeed, he did not find any ambush.

"He is waiting for me."

Qin Jiuge said indifferently.

"Who?"

"The Heavenly Lord of the Tenth Heaven."

Qin Jiuge looked toward the portal,

"He knew I would come, so he didn't set up any defenses."

"Because all defenses are futile in the face of absolute strength."

He walked to the portal and stepped into it without hesitation.

Zhang Tie and the other three looked at each other and followed him in.

Tenth Heaven.

This place was different from all the previous Heavens.

There were no magnificent palaces, no rich Spiritual Qi, only an endless Void Realm.

Countless stars floated in the Void Realm, with starlight flickering, breathtakingly beautiful.

In the center of the Void Realm, a person in white was sitting cross-legged.

He looked to be about thirty years old, with an ordinary face and a peaceful aura, as if he were an ordinary person.

But Qin Jiuge could feel that this person's body contained heaven-destroying and earth-shattering power.

"You have finally come."

The man in white opened his eyes, and stars seemed to flow within them,

"one-sword superman, Qin Jiuge."

"You know me?"

Qin Jiuge asked.

"From the moment you killed the Jin Yang Heavenly Lord, I knew."

The man in white slowly stood up,

"But I do not care. The resistance of ants is merely adding a little fun to a boring life."

His tone was plain, yet it carried the arrogance of looking down on all living beings.

"Are you the Heavenly Lord of the Tenth Heaven?"

Qin Jiuge asked.

"That is correct."

The man in white nodded,

"You may call me 'Star Lord.' I have ruled this world for three thousand years; you are the first person to be able to kill your way to me."

"And also the last."

Qin Jiuge said.

Star Lord laughed:

"Confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence is stupidity. You simply do not know how big the gap between us is."

He extended his hand and grabbed at the Void Realm.

The stars across the entire starry sky suddenly began to move, forming a huge palm that reached out to grab Qin Jiuge and the other four.

This palm seemed capable of grasping the entire Universe, carrying an irresistible might.

Zhang Tie and the other three felt their bodies completely imprisoned, unable to move even a single finger.

This was absolute suppression, a gap in the level of life!

But Qin Jiuge could still move.

He raised his blade.

The black blade vibrated in his hand, emitting an excited hum.

Devilish Qi erupted like a volcano, condensing into a huge demonic shadow behind him.

"Slash."

He slashed with one blade.

The black blade light split the star palm, severed the Void Realm, and went straight for Star Lord.

For the first time, a look of surprise appeared in Star Lord's eyes:

"This is... Devilish Qi? You are not from this world!"

He finally understood why Qin Jiuge was able to kill the Heavenly Lords of the Nine Heavens with one slash.

So, this person was not a Mortal at all!

"But so what?"

Star Lord sneered,

"Even if you are a Devil, in this world, you must follow my rules!"

He formed seals with both hands, and countless golden runes appeared in the Void Realm.

These runes formed a huge Formation, completely enveloping Qin Jiuge and the other four.

"Heavenly Dao Suppression!"

The golden runes turned into countless chains, wrapping toward Qin Jiuge.

These chains contained the Origin rules of this world; once locked, even a True God would find it difficult to break free.

Qin Jiuge swung his blade at the chains, but this time, the invincible black blade was actually deflected!

The chains continued to wrap around, quickly binding Qin Jiuge completely.

"Brother Qin!"

Zhang Tie exclaimed.

Star Lord laughed triumphantly:

"Do you see? This is the power of rules."

"In my world, I am the Heavenly Dao, I am the rules!"

"Anyone who violates the rules must be suppressed!"

Qin Jiuge was completely bound by the golden chains, unable to move.

The chains tightened further, as if they wanted to crush his body and Soul together.

But there was not a trace of fear on Qin Jiuge's face.

"Rules?"

He suddenly laughed,

"Your so-called rules are nothing but a cage."

Inside his body, the Devil King's Origin began to awaken.

Black Devilish Qi gushed out like a tide, corroding the golden chains.

The chains made a "hissing" sound and began to show cracks.

"What?!"

Star Lord's expression changed drastically,

"This is impossible! This is the rule power of the world's Origin, how could it be corroded?"

"Because my rules are above yours."

Qin Jiuge's voice became deep and majestic, as if coming from the Nine Nether Hell.

His eyes suddenly opened, and within the previously hollow sockets, black flames burned.

"Boom!"

The golden chains shattered completely!

Qin Jiuge floated in the air, the black Devilish Qi surging like angry waves.

His body began to change; the originally thin body became burly, and black demonic patterns crawled all over his body.

At this moment, he finally released a trace of the Devil King's true form.

"You... who exactly are you?!"

Star Lord finally felt fear.

"Dead people do not need to know too much."

Qin Jiuge's voice resounded throughout the entire Void Realm,

"Today, I will take your life and change your rules."

He raised his blade; this time, the black blade completely transformed into a hundred-zhang long black giant blade, with black flames burning on the blade.

"Slash!"

He slashed with one blade.

The Void Realm shattered, the stars were annihilated, and the rules collapsed!

Star Lord let out a desperate roar, using all his means with full force, wanting to block this slash.

But everything was futile.

The black blade light severed everything, including his body, including his Soul, and including the rules he was so proud of.

The Tenth Heaven Heavenly Lord, dead.

The entire Tenth Heaven began to vibrate violently, and countless cracks appeared in the Void Realm, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Qin Jiuge withdrew his Devilish Qi and returned to his original appearance.

He looked toward the place where Star Lord had disappeared, where a seven-colored light orb was floating,

which was the core of this world, controlling all the rules of the Ten Heavens.

Qin Jiuge extended his hand and grasped the light orb.

In an instant, he understood all the secrets of this world.

The Ten Heavens were originally a complete world.

Three thousand years ago, Star Lord obtained the world core,

and in order to monopolize resources and power, he divided the world into ten layers,

establishing a class system, letting the bottom layer serve the upper layers forever.

The Ascension Tournament was merely a means for him to screen for high-quality "consumables."

Everything was for his own longevity and enjoyment.

"It is time for it to end."

Qin Jiuge whispered.

He squeezed hard, and the seven-colored light orb shattered.

The next moment, the entire Ten Heavens began to Fusion!

The First Heaven merged with the Second Heaven, the Second Heaven merged with the Third Heaven...

The barriers between the Ten Heavens all disappeared, Spiritual Qi began to distribute evenly, and resources began to be redistributed.

The residents of Dustlight City suddenly discovered that the sky had become brighter and the Spiritual Qi had become denser.

Martial Artists of the Second Heaven discovered that the originally high-and-mighty buildings began to descend and merge with the lower layers.

The Third Heaven, the Fourth Heaven... all the way to the Ninth Heaven, everything was merging.

When the vibration stopped, the Ten Heavens had already merged into a complete world.

There were no classes, no oppression, and everyone was equal.

Qin Jiuge and the other four floated in the sky of the new world, overlooking the cheering crowds below.

"You... did it?"

Zhang Tie was still somewhat unable to believe it.

"I did it."

Qin Jiuge nodded.

He had fulfilled the Original Owner's wish.

To kill his way up to the Tenth Heaven, change the rules, and make the world one.

"Brother Qin, where do you plan to go next?"

Zhang Tie asked.

Qin Jiuge looked toward the distance, where the end of this world was, and also the exit of this world.

"I still have my own path to walk."

"We can go with you!"

Zhang Tie and the other three said in unison.

Qin Jiuge looked at them and shook his head:

"Your journey has ended; live well in this new world."

He turned around and flew toward the end of the world.

Behind him, Zhang Tie and the other three watched him leave, their eyes full of reluctance and gratitude.

"one-sword superman... Qin Jiuge..."

Zhang Tie murmured,

"We will remember you forever."

A new world, a new beginning.

And the legend of the Devil King Qin Jiuge had only just begun.

In the endless Universe, there were more worlds and more powerful experts waiting for him to challenge.

The path of the Devil King is endless.
