Before the Boundless Lord, a tomb suddenly parted on both sides, and a middle-aged man slowly rose.
The man wore a loose black robe, his hair entirely white, his face pale and bloodless. A deep scar ran across his right cheek, giving him a somewhat menacing appearance.
He looked at the Boundless Lord, brushing the dust off himself, and chuckled, “Boundless Lord, I never imagined you’d face a formidable enemy one day! Weren’t you always invincible? Why do you need help now? You…”
The Boundless Lord suddenly raised his right hand.
Boom!
A phantom hand with five fingers pressed down on the man.
Thud!
In an instant, the man’s knees buckled, and he fell to the ground.
The entire Boundless Graveyard trembled!
The Boundless Lord looked down at the man, “Canaan, who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?”
The man named Canaan’s face darkened.
The Boundless Lord continued, “If you want to die, just nod, and I’ll grant your wish right now!”
Canaan remained silent.
The Boundless Lord’s right hand suddenly clenched tightly!
Boom!
The phantom hand tightened, and Canaan’s eyes widened as his body and soul began to fade!
He tried to resist but found he couldn’t muster any strength!
Feeling this, Canaan was horrified and quickly said, “I surrender!”
The Boundless Lord waved his sleeve.
Boom!
Canaan was thrown back ten feet, collapsing limply to the ground.
On the ground, Canaan’s eyes were filled with terror.
The Boundless Lord shook his head, “Canaan, as the top figure of the Nameless Era, you’re far inferior to the top figure of the Divine Era.”
Canaan looked at him, “Wasn’t the top figure of the Divine Era you?”
The Boundless Lord said, “Don’t compare me to the likes of you!”
With that, he turned and left.
Canaan remained silent, lost in thought.
By now, all the tombs in the Boundless Graveyard had opened, and tens of thousands of mysterious powerhouses stood in the field!
These powerhouses, from different eras, were the most elite of their times!
All of them gazed at the Boundless Lord in the distance, their expressions grave, tinged with awe!
The Boundless Lord!
A god-like existence in the Boundless Universe!
Suddenly, the Boundless Lord said, “Destiny is a shackle binding all beings. This time, we fight for freedom!”
With that, he scanned the field, and all the powerhouses slowly knelt.
The Boundless Lord added, “Await my orders!”
Then, he vanished from the spot.
…
After leaving the Boundless Graveyard, the Boundless Lord arrived in an unknown starry sky. Soon, he reached a desolate starfield.
He looked ahead, where a thatched hut stood.
Approaching the hut, its door opened, revealing a monk in a kasaya sitting cross-legged inside.
The Boundless Lord looked at the monk, “Monk Wu, it’s time to repay your debt!”
The monk slowly opened his eyes, gently turning the prayer beads in his hand. After a moment of silence, he said, “Very well!”
The Boundless Lord turned to leave.
The monk suddenly said, “What are your odds of winning this battle?”
The Boundless Lord, without turning, replied, “Ten out of ten!”
Inside the hut, the monk was silent for a moment, then whispered, “Even deceiving a monk…”
…
Tai Ling Clan.
Since Qin Guan issued a bounty, the Tai Ling Clan had been in a dire state!
Every day, people attacked their clansmen…
Wu Jun had to guard the Tai Ling Clan daily, but gradually, she was finding it overwhelming!
The enemies coming were growing stronger!
However, there was a silver lining: constant battles had greatly boosted her strength!
She had now reached the true Divine Tribulation Realm, no longer just half a step into it!
Yet, even at the Divine Tribulation Realm, people kept troubling the Tai Ling Clan! Because Qin Guan’s money was too much!
At that moment, the Boundless Lord appeared before Wu Jun.
Wu Jun looked up, glaring at him.
The Boundless Lord chuckled, “Are you resenting me?”
Wu Jun snarled, “My Tai Ling Clan has always respected you, but when we faced annihilation, why didn’t you help?”
The Boundless Lord shook his head, “You brought this upon yourself!”
Wu Jun frowned, wasting no words and throwing a punch.
Boom!
The punch unleashed a terrifying force that enveloped the Boundless Lord, collapsing the space around him into darkness!
Yet, the Boundless Lord was unharmed!
Wu Jun’s eyes narrowed, her heart shocked!
The Boundless Lord said, “You’re too arrogant, too full of yourself, thinking you’re the greatest genius of all time. With that mindset, even if you don’t suffer now, you will in the future!”
Wu Jun was silent.
The Boundless Lord continued, “You underestimated Ye Xuan, treating him like trash. Yes, he can’t beat you now, but have you considered how many years you’ve cultivated compared to him? Ascending to the Divine Tribulation Realm doesn’t mean you’re invincible; it means you must temper your arrogance!”
Wu Jun looked at him, silent.
The Boundless Lord added, “Lose your arrogance, and you’ll become even better!”
With that, he opened his palm, and an ancient scroll floated to Wu Jun, “Cultivate this technique, and you’ll surpass the Divine Tribulation Realm!”
His voice fell, and he vanished into the starry sky.
Wu Jun looked at the scroll, not refusing it, because she needed to grow stronger!
She had a vendetta to settle!
But the problem was, she had no money…
Money!
At that thought, her face twisted with ferocity!
Because she remembered Qin Guan!
It was her first time realizing how terrifying money could be…
…
Kyoto.
Ye Xuan was still cultivating his physical body, and with Old Li’s help, he began absorbing various elemental energies between heaven and earth, gradually completing his elemental body!
Martial Pavilion.
One day, Qin Guan visited the Martial Pavilion, and Chen Wu and the others stood, bowing respectfully.
Qin Guan smiled, “How’s the research going?”
Chen Wu said gravely, “It’ll be ready tomorrow!”
Qin Guan nodded.
Chen Wu hesitated, then said, “Cabinet Master, during our research, we discovered this sword technique hides another sword technique!”
Qin Guan frowned, “Another hidden sword technique?”
Chen Wu nodded, “Yes!”
Qin Guan said, “Show me!”
Chen Wu quickly handed her a scroll. Qin Guan opened it, examined it for a moment, then said gravely, “The power of bloodline!”
Chen Wu was puzzled, “Bloodline power?”
Qin Guan nodded, “Yes, bloodline power! Only when he’s completely enraged and uses Instant Invincibility can he activate this terrifying sword technique, which can briefly push him beyond his realm…”
Her expression grew serious, but a moment later, a complex look flashed in her eyes, “Uncle Yang’s intentions run deep! If Xiao Xuanzi is pushed to the brink and goes berserk, few could withstand this sword’s power!”
Chen Wu hesitated, then asked, “Should we tell Young Master Ye?”
Qin Guan smiled, “No need!”
Chen Wu was confused, “Why not?”
Qin Guan smiled faintly, “Since it’s a hidden sword technique, let it stay hidden!”
Chen Wu nodded slightly, “Alright!”
Qin Guan added, “After tomorrow, you and the others head to the Guanxuan Universe, follow Miss Qingqiu’s orders, and help her enhance the Guanxuan Academy’s powerhouses!”
Chen Wu and the others bowed respectfully, “Understood!”
Qin Guan turned and left.
Soon, she arrived at a crystal palace.
Divine Creation Pavilion!
Inside, tens of thousands were busy at work.
At that moment, Xiao Ai appeared before Qin Guan.
Qin Guan’s expression was calm, “How’s the forging going?”
Xiao Ai said, “It’ll be ready tomorrow!”
Qin Guan looked at her, “I want the best defensive battle armour!”
Xiao Ai nodded, “The best for now! Once it’s done, we’ll start researching immediately to upgrade it and create even better armour in the shortest time!”
Qin Guan nodded slightly, then turned to leave. As if recalling something, she looked back at Xiao Ai, “How many sets can you make?”
Xiao Ai said gravely, “Currently, only two sets: one for you, Cabinet Master, and one for Young Master Ye!”
Qin Guan asked, “Can they be mass-produced?”
Xiao Ai shook her head, “Not possible! Because Erya’s scales are too scarce. We can only buy fewer than ten scales from her each year…”
Qin Guan sighed softly.
Erya’s scales were still the toughest material in the universe, but they could only be obtained after she shed them. And Erya shed only about ten scales a year…
The best scales were always the ones on Erya’s body, but you couldn’t exactly peel them off her, could you?
That girl Erya was bold enough to challenge Tian Ming!
Though she couldn’t win, she dared!
That courage alone was unmatched in this universe!
Xiao Ai said, “Since we can’t mass-produce, we’ll use lesser materials to forge. I need to make a hundred sets of this top-tier battle armour.”
Xiao Ai nodded, “Possible! But their defensive capabilities will be significantly weaker than these two sets!”
Qin Guan smiled, “Forge them!”
Xiao Ai nodded slightly, “Alright!”
Qin Guan added, “What about that sword?”
Xiao Ai bowed slightly, “Master, you should see it yourself. It’ll surprise you!”
Qin Guan laughed, “Really?”
Xiao Ai nodded.
Qin Guan chuckled, then said, “And the task I assigned you earlier, is it done?”
Xiao Ai nodded, “It’s ready. Once Young Master Ye’s physical cultivation is complete, we can begin!”
Qin Guan smiled faintly, looking into the distance, and whispered, “Xiao Xuanzi, wait for my big surprise…”
Xiao Ai hesitated, then asked, “Master, why are you so good to Young Master Ye?”
Qin Guan laughed, “I have my own motives!”
Xiao Ai was puzzled, “What motives?”
Qin Guan shrugged, “The only threats to me are the three swords. If I nurture someone as strong as them, or even stronger, wouldn’t that make me pretty formidable? Haha…”
Xiao Ai: “…”
