Outside the Imperial Tomb.
At this moment, numerous mighty figures simultaneously looked forward, their eyes filled with shock.
A massive pillar of black and white light pierced straight into the sky.
The sky above the continent cracked open with a fissure that seemed endless.
In the depths of that fissure, an indescribably enormous sword tip slowly descended from the heavens.
"Buzz!"
A resounding sword hum echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
An oppressive force that made even peak quasi-emperors bow overwhelmed every living being’s heart.
All the swords in the world floated into the sky on their own, their tips slightly lowered, trembling incessantly, as if worshipping the emperor among swords.
At this moment, all the cultivators on the continent looked at that sea of swords across the sky, the scene filled with oppressive power, their eyes gradually revealing shock.
"This... this is an Imperial Weapon emerging!"
"No, there are many Imperial Weapons on the continent, why is this one causing such a grand commotion, making all the swords on the continent rise and fall?"
"This is... a newly forged Imperial Weapon, receiving the baptism of heaven and earth for the first time!"
"How is it possible! Has someone ascended to a Great Emperor! They actually forged this generation’s Imperial Weapon..."
The world erupted in an uproar, everyone showing expressions of disbelief.
The birth of an Imperial Weapon in the past always coincided with the emergence of a Great Emperor, and then the weapon was forged.
But this generation is the opposite.
The Great Emperor has not yet appeared, but this generation’s Imperial Weapon has emerged first!
Everyone looked in disbelief at the heavens, at the black and white changing, endlessly oppressive divine sword.
They could not conceive how an Imperial Weapon could be achieved without the power of a Great Emperor.
At this time, not just the ordinary cultivators, even the likes of Zhao Shanke, Kasyapa, and Ximen Xiu, who were at the peak of quasi-emperor, also showed confusion.
"Not a Great Emperor... and still able to forge an Imperial Weapon?"
The great battle in the sky over Zhongzhou quietly ceased, and the numerous mighty ones present all looked toward the direction of the Imperial Tomb, their faces reflecting deep thought.
Not being a Great Emperor yet able to forge an Imperial Weapon, this scenario stirred the hearts of many.
An Imperial Weapon!
If a family could possess such a supreme weapon, barring unforeseen circumstances, it could propel the family’s prosperity for millennia!
If they could learn the method of forging an Imperial Weapon, it would be worth any cost and effort.
It was at this moment, outside the burgeoning path to emperorship on the Cangyan Continent.
Over a thousand outstanding talents from the Ten Thousand Races were sitting quietly with folded legs, awaiting the opening of the path to emperorship.
The human race is guilty, this is the consensus of the Ten Thousand Races.
Now with the decisive battle approaching, the Heavenly Dao of the Cangyan Continent also allows beings of the Ten Thousand Races to compete for destiny.
They united the numerous exceptional talents of various races, planning to give the human race a head-on blow by sealing the continent’s exit leading to the path to emperorship!
By this, to tell the human race.
The protagonist of this era will no longer be just the human race of the Cangyan Continent!
However.
Having been defeated once, the outstanding talents of the Ten Thousand Races gathered even more people this time.
They were all filled with confidence, awaiting the path to emperorship to open in a month.
But the next moment...
Boom!
A robust pillar of black and white light forcefully pierced through the void path of emperorship!
The dazzling light and terrifying pressure swept across the entire region beyond!
In an instant, the beings of the Ten Thousand Races, the demonic entities beyond the region, all looked towards the continent in a daze.
"The Cangyan... has an Emperor emerged?"
...
Within the Imperial Tomb.
Amid the tempest outside, the emergence of the new Imperial Weapon stirred everyone into excitement.
Although Su Changqing hadn’t witnessed it, he could guess a few things.
However, he wasn’t worried; the ownership of the Imperial Weapon, and the method of forging it, even if given to others, they couldn’t replicate it again.
This Imperial Weapon seemed easily forged, but it consumed a vast amount of rare treasures.
Four fist-sized pieces of Great Emperor Divine Gold gave it form, the complete laws illuminated by the Great Emperor condensed its intent.
The endless Sword Intent within the Imperial Tomb sharpened its edge.
And the crucial Daoist Venerable’s method acted as a bridge, constructing Su Changqing’s unique Dao of Ten Thousand Laws.
Each of these elements is an unparalleled treasure, scarcely encountered.
Let alone others, even Su Changqing himself could not replicate the formation of this Imperial Weapon.
...
At this moment, after being baptized by the Heaven and Earth Laws, the giant sword intertwined with black and white descended from the sky, surrounding Su Changqing with a series of joyful sword hums.
"Come."
Su Changqing smiled lightly and beckoned, the Imperial Sword with its black and white flame tail fell into his hand of its own accord.
He gently ran his fingers across the sword blade, where the black and white distinctly separated, each inscribed with mysterious Dao markings.
Those were the original elements of ’Pure World Jade’ and ’Return to Ruin Iron’, fused with ’Creation’ and ’Destruction’, giving birth to innate patterns.
Su Changqing looked at the sword in his hand, unable to hide his joy in his eyes.
He gently raised his hand, lifted the sword, and lightly swung it forward.
Buzz!
The interwoven black and white swimming fish at the hilt of the Imperial Weapon spun, and a brilliant light burst forth.
Rip!
As the light passed, it tore through the void of the Cangyan Continent like fragile cloth, leaving a hundred-zhang-long fissure.
"This..."
Su Changqing was somewhat stunned; he hadn’t even used force in that swing.
Yet, the sturdy continental space was so easily ripped apart.
Moreover, this Imperial Weapon seemed to perceive his thoughts.
Holding this Imperial Weapon felt like an extension of his body, a harmonious blending of the two.
"You felt it, didn’t you."
At this time, Sword Emperor stepped forward and looked at the emerged Imperial Sword with a light smile:
"This sword is condensed with your laws and Dao; only you can unleash its true power."
"No contemporary Imperial Weapon is stronger than the sword in your hand."
"Because its master... is still present."
At this moment, the Immortal Trapper also stepped forward.
He looked at the sword in Su Changqing’s hand for a moment and then praised,
"A fine Imperial Weapon, the materials of Pure World Jade and Return to Ruin Iron are already top-notch."
"Now that you’ve combined them into a new Great Emperor Divine Gold, its quality is even more terrifying."
