503: Chapter 56 Lord Sword God

However, he was not there in the capacity of a monarch.

Instead, he stood to the side in the posture of a servant of the Divine Palace.

An elderly man held a tray.

On the tray lay a letter bearing the royal seal of the Eris Empire.

He walked slowly toward the supreme throne in the center of the great hall.

A youth sat upon the throne.

He appeared to be only in his early teens, yet his features were breathtakingly handsome.

Simply sitting there quietly was enough to make young girls' hearts flutter.

Though he was only ten years old, his stature and bearing were like those of a sixteen-year-old youth.

The charm and majesty he exuded were irresistible.

His gaze was as cold as ice, and his entire being radiated a sharp, overbearing pressure that looked down upon the world.

“Lord Sword God, please have a look. This is a state letter sent from the Eris Empire.”

“Read it, Thorn.”

The youth commanded in a calm tone.

“As you command, My Lord.”

The old man respectfully unfolded the letter and read aloud:

“To the Lord Sword God: The Constantine Empire has issued an order requiring all Empires across the continents to send the most skilled Healers within their borders to their Empire. We previously contacted your elder brother and invited him to go, but he flatly refused. We have no intention of stirring up trouble.”

“Given that you are a citizen of our country, we are willing to plead with the Constantine Empire on your younger brother's behalf. We hope you will persuade your elder brother to accompany our envoy. Once the envoys of the Constantine Empire come knocking personally, your brother's situation will likely become precarious.”

As soon as the reading of the letter finished, the entire hall fell into a dead silence.

This was because a suffocating, monstrous killing intent suddenly erupted from the youth.

Everyone seemed to glimpse the corpses of countless experts within that solidified killing intent.

“Lord Sword God, please calm your anger! If even a fraction of your killing intent leaks out, the entire kingdom will be reduced to dust!”

Thorn cried out in alarm.

“The Eris Empire is threatening me, aren't they?”

The youth curled his lips into a cold smile.

“In that case, I can wipe out their royal family right now, can't I?”

No one in the hall dared to even breathe loudly, for fear of provoking the Lord Sword God.

Only Thorn still dared to speak up and advise him.

“My Lord, please reconsider! The Constantine Empire is by no means an existence we can contend with right now; we must plan carefully.”

“Those fools actually think they can force him to go to the Constantine Empire?”

The youth thought of Lu Chen and couldn't help but laugh aloud.

“He hasn't come to see me for the past two years, and they actually want to summon him there?”

The reason Luon had become the way he was today...

...started two years ago.

Two years ago.

Luon arrived at the capital of the Blue Moon Kingdom.

From Thorn's mouth, he learned an earth-shattering secret.

Thorn was precisely that alchemist who had once taken him and Lu Chen in for a month or two.

Thorn told Luon that the Heavens Mandate Sect was merely a front.

Its true name was the Divine Palace.

And Luon's mission was to participate in the Legacy trial left behind by the Previous Palace Master, who had mysteriously perished a thousand years ago.

At first, Luon had been unable to make up his mind for a long time.

Every difficult matter he had encountered in his life had always been decided for him by Lu Chen.

But now, Lu Chen was not by his side.

From now on, he had to learn to face everything alone.

After two days and nights of deep consideration, Luon finally decided to accept this trial.

Thorn personally brought him to the Trial Grounds.

“Luon, what exactly is hidden behind that door, we have no way of knowing. Perhaps it is a completely independent world. The Previous Palace Master only left behind two sentences.”

“‘Only those whose talent reaches the purple level or above may participate in the trial. However, those with weak hearts must never enter.’ For thousands of years, we searched the entire world but never found a single person with purple talent.”

“Until one day, we deduced the secrets of heaven and divined that the Child of Destiny would appear in the Blue Moon Kingdom. Thus, we used the fake identity of the Heavens Mandate Sect to come here and widely recruit disciples.”

“Our people were scattered all over the kingdom, and I went to that village to wait for the arrival of the Child of Destiny. The day you and Lu Chen appeared, I knew that one of you two must be the Child of Destiny we had been waiting for so bitterly.”

Thorn stopped speaking at this point.

Luon stood frozen on the spot, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

He remembered Lu Chen mentioning that Grandpa Semu had left him a Destiny Stone.

“It must have been that Destiny Stone that led us to my place of destiny.”

Luon couldn't help but laugh.

“If Lu Chen knew about this, he'd probably be furious.”

That Destiny Stone.

It was completely unable to peer into the trajectory of Lu Chen's fate.

Out of helplessness, it could only lead them to Luon's place of destiny.

Luon resolutely stepped into the Trial Grounds.

Five months later.

He walked out from within, having transformed into the current Sword God.

His Sword Dao Saint talent had already evolved into the supreme Sword God Talent.

Not only that, he had also inexplicably inherited all the power of the Previous Palace Master.

Relying on the Sword God Talent.

His strength was even superior to that of the Previous Palace Master.

On that day.

The entire Divine Palace, from top to bottom, including Thorn, all swore their loyalty to him.

The current Luon was already a twelfth order powerhouse.

With a flick of his finger, he could annihilate the entire Eris Empire.
