Truth Exposed, Empresses Beg for Forgiveness-Chapter 128 - 127: Ling’Er, You Are So Kind—How Could I Let You Stain Your Sword with Filthy Blood... Sword, Come!

Chapter 128: Chapter 127: Ling’Er, You Are So Kind—How Could I Let You Stain Your Sword with Filthy Blood... Sword, Come!

The entire Celestial Emperor Palace was engulfed in a deathly silence at this moment.

In everyone’s eyes, there was only the Young Celestial Emperor, holding the Emperor’s Sword, as if he had lost his soul.

Meanwhile, the delicate jade fingers of Jian Lingxin hidden under her snow-white sleeves were trembling uncontrollably.

Only Wang Teng felt an incomparable sense of pleasure in his heart!

"Everyone, did you see it? Even the Celestial Emperor can appear so weak!

Haha, such a tear-stained face, how truly pathetic it is!"

Wang Teng was feeling quite schadenfreude.

Yet, no one bothered to respond to his words.

All the cultivators could see that the Celestial Emperor’s current state was by no means weakness.

Humans are not heartless; who can be devoid of emotion!!

In many people’s hearts, they subconsciously began to feel an increasing dislike for Wang Teng.

They had previously felt that with Wang Teng’s character and intelligence, he was unfit to be the new-generation Celestial Emperor.

It now seemed that this was indeed the case!

...

Within the image revealed by the Reincarnation Mirror.

The young Luo Xuan gripped the Emperor’s Sword, his hand trembling ceaselessly.

He could feel Jian Ling’er’s consciousness residing within this Emperor’s Sword.

Though she hadn’t completely vanished, from now on, she could only exist as a Sword Spirit...

Jian Guichen saw that all the restraints he had placed on the young Luo Xuan were entirely broken, and his old face was filled with astonishment.

He hadn’t expected this Emperor’s Sword to possess such formidable power!

In the next moment, Jian Guichen’s eyes were filled with greed.

"The Emperor’s Sword possesses a spirit, so that’s how it is!

This Emperor’s Sword is now mine!"

Jian Guichen’s figure surged forward, heading towards the young Luo Xuan!

And in that moment, the words of Jian Ling’er vaguely echoed in Luo Xuan’s ears.

’Wood, hold this sword, whether today or in the future, you must win against anyone you face.’

The young Luo Xuan gripped the Emperor’s Sword firmly, gazing coldly and resolutely at Jian Guichen, who was charging towards him.

"Ling’er, you are so kind, how can I allow you to be tarnished by filthy blood for the sake of this sword...

Sword, come!!"

With a thunderous shout, the young Luo Xuan directly invoked the Sound of the Great Dao!

The throne of the Emperor’s Sword within the Sword Tomb carried his Sound of the Great Dao, resounding throughout the entire Sword Tomb!

BOOM!!!

At this moment, all the swords within the Sword Tomb trembled!

Boundless sword light soared towards the young Luo Xuan.

The various swords in the Sword Tomb seemed to heed a summons, all coming together!!

Forming an Overlord Heavy Sword composed of thousands of swords from the Sword Tomb!

Even then, Jian Guichen did not take it to heart.

They were merely broken and discarded swords, abandoned blades, capable of creating what disturbance.

At most, it was the Emperor’s Sword in the young Luo Xuan’s hand that required some caution.

But in the next moment—

CRACK!!

Above the Nine Heavens, raging thunder exploded!

Tribulation clouds gathered, darkening the sky, plunging the world into total gloom!

The black clouds threatened to cover the world!!

"How is this possible?!"

Jian Guichen’s expression changed drastically.

He had a feeling that the Celestial Tribulation Thunder was about to descend.

Although its target was the young Luo Xuan, if he continued to attack him, it would obliterate both of them together!

The Celestial Tribulation Thunder typically only tests those crossing tribulations; how could it now threaten to destroy others as well!

What on earth did the young Luo Xuan do to arouse the Heavenly Dao Will to such wrath!

Moreover, the young Luo Xuan was merely at the Immortal Monarch Realm, not yet an Immortal Venerable, so what tribulation was he crossing; could an Immortal Monarch really undertake an Emperor Tribulation?!

Jian Guichen had no time to think further as he swiftly retreated.

Afraid of being caught within the attack range of the Celestial Tribulation Thunder.

Only after rapidly retreating did that sense of life’s imminent threat finally dissipate.

Jian Guichen let out a sigh of relief, having a premonition that if this heavenly thunder truly struck him, even as a Great Emperor, he would face utter annihilation!

Seeing the tribulation thunder locked onto the young Luo Xuan, Jian Guichen, too, felt a sense of schadenfreude in his heart.

"Youngster, your actions have angered the Celestial Dao, which will claim you."

To him, this ignorant youngster had roused the wrath of the Celestial Dao and was doomed to die.

He was only concerned that the Emperor’s Sword shouldn’t be destroyed by the Celestial Tribulation Thunder.

But since it’s an Emperor’s Artifact, presumably, even the Celestial Tribulation Thunder couldn’t easily annihilate it!

However, in the next moment, the young Luo Xuan did something that completely surprised him.

The young Luo Xuan actually absorbed the Emperor’s Sword into his body!

The originally silent Celestial Emperor Palace instantly exploded!

"How could this be, is the Young Celestial Emperor crazy? Why did he absorb the Spirit Heart Sword into himself?!"

"The Celestial Tribulation Thunder is about to descend, with the Spirit Heart Sword in hand, the chance to withstand the Celestial Tribulation Thunder would greatly increase, why did the Celestial Emperor put away the Spirit Heart Sword?"

"Don’t you understand? It’s because Jian Ling’er is now the Sword Spirit of the Spirit Heart Sword. The Young Celestial Emperor doesn’t want any possibility of the Celestial Tribulation Thunder harming her, so he put it away."

"This... to choose to endure the tribulation thunder with his flesh rather than use the Spirit Heart Sword with Jian Ling’er as the Sword Spirit, the Celestial Emperor truly acts with utmost devotion and sincerity..."

"Alas, the Young Celestial Emperor back then was truly someone who felt deeply and acted sincerely... However, if the Young Celestial Emperor could absorb the Spirit Heart Sword into his body, wouldn’t it mean that the Celestial Emperor was its first master?"

The cultivators in the Celestial Emperor Palace felt that the Young Celestial Emperor must have gone mad!

They were well aware of the strength of the Spirit Heart Sword in the hands of the Sword Spirit Empress.

At this moment, after Jian Ling’er performed the sword ritual, this Emperor’s Sword’s aura was infinitely close to the Spirit Heart Sword. In their eyes, this was clearly the Spirit Heart Sword!

The Celestial Emperor clearly had the Spirit Heart Sword, yet he chose not to use it, opting to withstand the Celestial Tribulation Thunder with his own body?!

However, many soon thought.

Perhaps the Celestial Emperor’s actions were entirely for Jian Ling’er...

At this moment, everyone’s hearts were filled with inexplicable melancholy.

Wang Teng saw that the Young Celestial Emperor in the image put away this Emperor’s Sword without using it, and he sneered in his heart.

He just thought the Young Celestial Emperor was utterly foolish!

What people around said left him somewhat dissatisfied.

"Everyone, even though this Emperor’s Sword looks and even its aura is very similar to the Spirit Heart Sword,

don’t forget, it still doesn’t have the three carved characters of the Spirit Heart Sword. Each Emperor’s Artifact is unique; how could this be the Spirit Heart Sword?"

As if feeling this wasn’t enough, Wang Teng added.

"Moreover, if this sword were truly the Spirit Heart Sword, it would definitely have Jian Ling’er as its Sword Spirit.

But the Spirit Heart Sword of the Sword Spirit Empress never had any such Sword Spirit, so how could this Emperor’s Sword be the Spirit Heart Sword?"

The cultivators had subconsciously regarded this Emperor’s Sword as the Spirit Heart Sword just now.

However, indeed, it did not bear the engraved name of the Spirit Heart Sword.

More compelling evidence might be that there was no Sword Spirit within the Sword Spirit Empress’s Spirit Heart Sword.

Some cultivators instinctively turned their gaze to the Sword Spirit Empress.

The Sword Spirit Empress still stood with sword in hand, as if she had no reaction at all.

She looked just the same as usual.

Many cultivators turned back, continuing to watch the image in the Reincarnation Mirror.

Yet, some vaguely felt that the Sword Spirit Empress seemed a bit different, even if she appeared the same as always.

In the image, after the young Luo Xuan put away the Spirit Heart Sword, he merely looked up indifferently, gazing at the tribulation clouds beyond the Sword Tomb.

He did not fly out of the Sword Tomb to face the tribulation.

The cultivators who saw this quickly understood, sighing in their hearts.

The Young Celestial Emperor was deeply wounded at this moment.

He probably didn’t even have the strength to fly out of the Sword Tomb now.

In the next instant, a furious thunderstorm descended from above the Nine Heavens!

It struck directly at the young Luo Xuan within the Sword Tomb!

"Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder!!"

Countless cultivators gasped in shock at that moment.

The descending phenomenon was the Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder, a tribulation thunder that only appeared when one crossed the tribulation to become a Great Emperor!!

Amidst the Celestial Tribulation Thunder, the most basic one was the purple tribulation thunder.

When they crossed tribulations, they could only attract calamity clouds that spanned ten to dozens of miles.

During the Immortal Tribulation, the calamity clouds could extend over a thousand miles.

As for the red tribulation thunder that the Celestial Emperor had once attracted, it was already a sign of the Emperor Tribulation!

Beyond the red tribulation thunder, it returned to purple, which was the Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder.

It appeared purple like the basic purple tribulation lightning, but it was on a completely different level!

The appearance of the Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder signified that... a Great Emperor was crossing tribulation!!

Upon seeing the Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder descend, Wang Teng was both shocked and enlightened.

"I see, I understand!

No wonder the Sword Tomb Forbidden Land of later generations no longer had the restrictions that could limit the Sword Spirit Race.

Obviously, the restrictions of the Sword Tomb Forbidden Land were destroyed by the subsequent Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder!"

In his view, since the Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder appeared.

The Sword Tomb’s restrictions would definitely not hold, and it must have been destroyed at this time.

Later, it would merely become a forbidden area!

This time, his judgment was spot on!

Boom!!!

To respond to Wang Teng’s words, the image showed the Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder descending!

The restrictions of the Sword Tomb Forbidden Land barely held for a moment before completely shattering.

The Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder came crashing toward the young Luo Xuan!

In Jian Guichen’s old eyes was palpable fear!

When he was struck by the Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder during his Great Emperor Tribulation, he barely retained his human form, an event still vivid in his mind.

Forcing Jian Guichen to retreat involuntarily!

With the Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder descending, this boy will certainly be annihilated, leaving no chance of survival!

The Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder, carrying the sound of angry thunder, struck the young Luo Xuan!

This scene brought a hint of joy to Wang Teng’s heart.

Because this time, the Young Celestial Emperor couldn’t absorb the Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder immediately.

Evidently, the Dao contained within the Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder was already enough to threaten the Sword Dao he had comprehended from the Celestial Dao before!

After all, this was pure Emperor’s Dao!

No matter how strong the Celestial Emperor is, his self-realized Sword Dao could never overpower the Great Emperor’s Dao!!

Yet, when the Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder struck the young Luo Xuan, he did not perish; he showed not the slightest hint of pain.

The Purple Cloud Tribulation Thunder, striking him, couldn’t harm him in the least!!
