d. The white mist transformed into a bloody haze.The corpse, like a dumpling, slammed to the ground with a thumping sound.Only then did the three of them, Yan Quan included, realize what was going on....Within the cataclysmic vision brought forth by the collapse of Dao Sword Heart, the world turned upside down, and all things shattered.

A profound sense of sorrow and desolation, coupled with intense hatred, permeated every corner. Even those with steadfast spirits felt their composure deeply shaken.

But all of this was nothing to Yunhao.

However, his mood grew heavier and heavier.

Even the Azure Mystic Stone, which once held the Grand Array of Myriad Lights, has been severely eroded by time. Yet, the lingering emotions of Cang Yao are still so intense!

It is conceivable that Cang Yao back then was filled with immense sorrow and rage!

In a daze, Yun Hao seemed to see a slender figure bathed in blood, filled with grief and rage as they fought valiantly. That figure stood alone, falling again and again but rising stubbornly each time, their sword flashing as they faced enemies from all directions!

As Yun Hao continued to delve deeper into the visions triggered by the fragmentation of the Great Dao Sword Heart, suddenly, a stone tablet materialized before him.

On the stone tablet, a bloody inscription was left.

Even after a long time has passed, the blood is still fresh.

"My name is Cang Yao, I am a disciple of the Cloud Sky Sword Emperor. I have no regrets in this life!"

I, on this day, take the solemn oath of blood upon the Great Dao.

It is imperative for the master to cleanse the sect, eliminate the treacherous disciple Yang Tianhua, and destroy the Four Directions Saints. Crush these shameless and despicable villains into dust, and imprison their souls in the Nine Nether Hells to suffer endlessly.

Thereafter, I shall slaughter the Heavenly Palace and exterminate all those hypocritical deities in the sky. For my master, the Cloud-Soaring Sword Emperor, I shall avenge him!

If this oath is broken, I, Cang Yao, shall willingly suffer the punishment of the Great Dao, enduring divine thunderbolts and be forever denied transcendence.

Yun Hao stared at the blood characters, a torrent of grief surging within him, mingled with an unspeakable, terrifying murderous intent emanating from his very being.

The truth behind Cang Yao's tragic fate is finally coming to light!

In his past life, he had two disciples.

The eldest disciple, Yang Tianhua, was exceptionally gifted. He originally intended to pass on his swordsmanship secrets to him, but later discovered that Yang Tianhua was deeply cunning and scheming, so he abandoned the idea.

Then, traveling the world, by chance he discovered Cang Yao, a prodigious gem with the body of a great sword heart. He decided to make Cang Yao his heir.

As for Yang Tianhua, he never showed any displeasure. In his presence, he also treated Cang Yao, this junior sister of his, with utmost care and protection.

Now it seems that everything is an illusion.

After he perished alongside the Heavenly Palace God, Yang Tianhua's wolfish ambition was no longer concealed. He directly took cruel measures against Cang Yao!

Although Cang Yao was Yang Tianhua's junior sister, her strength at that time had far surpassed Yang Tianhua. It would be impossible for Yang Tianhua alone to hold Cang Yao back.

According to the information revealed on the bloodstone stele left by Cang Yao, besides Yang Tianhua, there are also the four Saint Lords who colluded with Yang Tianhua!

The Four Divine Masters are the masters of the four great sacred lands in the Azure World.

Rebirth Holy Land, Heavenly Blade Holy Land, Nine Suns Holy Land, Spirit Sea Holy Land.

Back then, the world was in chaos, demons wreaked havoc, and the human race was on the brink of extinction. Even these four sacred lands were plunged into a crisis of annihilation.

Yun Hao was the reincarnation of a former life, wielding a three-foot long green blade. He valiantly turned the tide and helped them weather the catastrophe. Leading them, he swept through demons and monsters, not only ensuring the continuation of the four sacred lands but also ushering in an era of prosperity far surpassing the past.

Four Great Lords, before their presence, we bow with respect, venerating them.

However...

Now it seems, they are all a bunch of hypocritical and shameless people!

After his demise, he immediately teamed up with the power-hungry Yang Tianhua to surround and kill his heir!

His mind raced, recalling scenes from the past. Gradually, some things became clearer to him.

Back then, he had no hope of becoming a god. He could only prove his way through slaying gods. For this, he made ample preparations. But when he raised his sword to the heavens, none of the prepared methods worked at all.

Originally, he didn't think much of it, assuming it was the so-called Heavenly Palace God, all-seeing and all-knowing, who had seen through his plans and blocked every path to his ascension.

Now it seems that this is also due to the betrayal of Yang Tianhua and the four Saint Lords.

Because, back then, he trusted them, and hadn't guarded against them with some important deployments.

"Yang Tianhua, you treacherous disciple who betrays your master and ancestors!"

"Four Sacred Lords, you ungrateful and shameless lot!"

"You all wait for me, until the day I return to Zhongzhou, I will surely make you perish both in body and spirit!"

Yun Hao's killing intent materialized, condensing into bone-chilling ice.

These people thought he was dead.

But now, he is reborn, as he returns to Zhongzhou, it is time to settle these blood feuds!

After a long time.

The killing intent on Yun Hao's body gradually dissipated.

He looked at the words written in scarlet blood on the stele and said, "Yao'er, your master is back. I will definitely find you and take you back to Zhongzhou together. I will avenge all the wrongs you have suffered."

From the information left by Cang Yao, he felt that Cang Yao might still be alive, but had lost the body of the Great Dao Sword Heart.

That said.

Yun Hao raised his hand and waved it.

Jian Yuan surged, engulfing the stone tablet and pulling it up before storing it within his storage ring.

But just as he was pulling out the stele.

Suddenly, a drastic change occurred.

A ray of jet-black light shot straight into the sky, even penetrating the Infinite Dazzling Light Formation.

Above the ancient tomb of death and life, the sky was shattered, and the void manifested.

A jet black beam, a hundred zhang thick, contained a terrifying demonic aura that caused the heavens and earth within a radius of a hundred miles to tremble.

This moment.

Outside the ancient tomb of life and death, the Jin Dan martial artist Murong Guang trembled all over, his heart filled with boundless terror. He almost knelt on the ground and bowed his head to the black beam!

And his granddaughter, Murong Qing, was even more unbearable. She was directly intimidated by that aura, her body went limp, and she fell to the ground, her eyes hollow, her face full of fear.

Inside the ancient tomb of death, Lord Jiang Zhiyuan and his men, along with Qin Lan from Qingfeng Martial Academy, all trembled with fear. The better off stood their ground, afraid to move, while those who were weaker, like Murong Qing, collapsed onto the ground.

The demonic might shakes the heavens and earth, all living beings prostrate and tremble!

While standing beside the boundless demonic might, Yun Hao also burst forth with an unparalleled edge that could shatter the heavens and earth. It tore apart the demonic aura encroaching upon him, blocking it all!

His gaze was fixed on the hole left in the ground after the stone tablet was pulled out.

In the pit, there was a black ancient jade the size of a palm. This earth-shattering demonic power came from within the jade.

A moment later.

Supreme demonic power, smoke and clouds dissipate.

That hundred-zhangs of pitch black beam, also vanished without a trace.

In the pit, that piece of dark ancient jade was instantly covered in a myriad of cracks, as if touched, it would shatter into dust.

Yunhao stared at the black ancient jade, silent for a long time, and then let out a long sigh: "Yao'er... what are you doing again..."

From the moment he saw this piece of obsidian ancient jade, he knew what choice Qing Yao had made after making the oath of great blood!

This is the ancient demon heart jade, a forbidden object discovered by Yun Hao in his past life from a primordial stone.

This optimistic and kindhearted lass... abandoned the Great Dao Sword Heart, taking the Demonic Core Jade as her foundation, forging an ancient demonic heart, and turning to cultivate the Nine Hells Demon Technique!

Nine Netherworld Demon Arts, nine lifetimes of hellish reincarnation. Each life is tormented by endless suffering, constantly enduring the agony of being in hell…

If one can successfully pass through the nine hells of reincarnation and achieve the immortal demon body, their power will be earth-shattering, turning heaven and earth upside down!

However, according to some ancient texts, no one has ever been able to fully cultivate this magical skill.

Countless valiant souls, within the torment of countless hells, collapse in spirit, destroy themselves, and perish forever...a while.In an instant, Yun Hao's earthen spirit power within him erupted, stirring the earth's might. The ground beneath his feet rumbled and shook violently with a deafening boom of stone and soil.In...
