A single line of blade light, without any embellishments or changes, represents the primordial state.

When the blade falls, everything returns to the state before "Tai Chu"—no light nor shadow, no clarity nor murkiness, no heaven nor earth, even "existence" itself remains undefined.

Xu Duo reached out to block this thread of sword light, and blood splattered from his palm!

But he couldn't be shocked that a Heavenly Venerable could break through his Dao Body, because the Sword Intent contained within this blade light was all too familiar to him.

He carefully comprehended the Dao Rhyme within, and as the blade light passed, all paths retreated, the heavens trembled, and all "existences" receded, returning to before Tai Chu—

Physical bodies, Primordial Spirits, Inner Universes, all collapsed like illusions, returning to nothingness!

Xu Duo's face twitched. No mistake!

Even if this Dao Rhyme only had a four or five-point resemblance, its essence was clearly the Taichu Peak of the Heavenly Cutting Sect!

This was personally passed down by the Ancestor Master!

This Ji Jingqiu from the Yanhuang Federation, where did he acquire it?!

Could it be the work of the Yanhuang Federation who captured Tian Yan, the junior nephew?

No, even if it was Tian Yan, the junior nephew, he wouldn't have the qualification to receive the Ancestor Master's legacy as a Heavenly King.

Various doubts arose in his heart...

But soon after the brief shock, Ji Jingqiu's rebuke reached his ears, making Xu Duo's expression turn angry!

A mere junior, how dare he belittle their Ancestor Master like this?!

But when the last part of Ji Jingqiu's words reached his ears—

"Who are you?!"

Xu Duo exclaimed in astonishment, stepping back a step in front of everyone's eyes,

"You're not Ji Jingqiu! You are... impossible!"

An amazing conjecture exploded in Xu Duo's mind!

Amidst all the Transcendence Gates, the Returning to Truth Road was also top secret, but this child clearly belonged to the Netherworld, how did he know about the Returning to Truth Road?

The recent news of the collapse of the Returning to Truth Road exploded in Xu Duo's mind, but he could only find it incredibly absurd.

The name engraved personally by the Ancestor Master…

An existence lost in history...

At this moment, it was as if it had walked out from the long river of history.

Xu Duo stepped forward sharply, with eyes like torches, shooting out a shocking divine light that spanned heaven and earth!

He wanted to verify the truth!

Rather than believing this child... truly being that "World Venerable" who had returned from a hundred eras of slumber, Xu Duo was more inclined to think Ji Jingqiu had just grasped some news to trick them at this moment!

The Qi Po of a Supreme True Saint pressed down on all directions, vast and magnificent, suppressing the Heaven and Earth Dao. In an ordinary realm, even time and fate would halt under Xu Duo's pressure, coming to a standstill!

Yet, it was all in vain.

Ji Jingqiu remained calm and composed, his expression indifferent, overlooking all ages of the heavens, standing there as if at an endlessly far high place, separated from them by ages of time!

The sword light revolving around Ji Jingqiu cut through everything, including the pressure Xu Duo descended with.

"Is it... is it you?!"

Xu Duo's expression changed again, the True Saint Dao Body shivering uncontrollably, recognizing the source of this sword light!

Their Ancestor Master had two major enemies back then, and one of them was the Ancestor Master of the Human World Pavilion, the Taiping Sword Master!

This thread of sword light was clearly the legendary "Moon-cutting Sword Light," the existence trace left by that Sword Master.

Now, what an Ancestor Master left was actually protecting Ji Jingqiu!

Xu Duo remembered the alliance Ji Jingqiu had just mentioned, and his heart skipped a beat.

Could this be the alliance on the Returning to Truth Road?

The relics left by the ancestors, just to protect him?

"Is it really you...?!" Xu Duo did not know whether to feel cold or excited in his heart, exclaiming, "It is you! You are Him! The name of the World Venerable should exist in this world!"

Amid the Thirty-Six Layers of Heaven, the invited spectators looked on in confusion at this figure.

Even the True Saints present frowned, not understanding why this person was so agitated. Could Ji Jingqiu really have some extraordinary identity?

"What 'World Venerable'!"

The heaven and earth suddenly turned shadowy and obscure, as if a Great Sun hanging in the sky had been abruptly swallowed down the throat, and the world became dim, with only a vortex like a deity opening its eyes, its gaze cold and chilling,

"The old Xu Duo of the Heavenly Cutting Sect cannot guard his own Dao Lineage, now still recklessly recognizing ancestors, let me take charge!"

"Moon God, capture this child, and I shall grant you entry into my Heavenly Prison Palace."

Suddenly.

The sky seemed transparent, lit by endless light, vaguely revealing a gigantic bright moon, hanging above Daluo Heaven, illuminating the Thirty-Six Layers of Heaven! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

A woman whose appearance and form subtly surpassed Chi Ji descended along a path, clearly the Moon God of the Netherworld!

In terms of appearance, she did not lose to Hel, and in demeanor, she surpassed Chi Ji.

Chi Ji's expression was icy, for the Moon God, one of the ancient Innate Gods of the Netherworld, now took orders from someone from the Outer Realm, which was akin to betraying the Netherworld.

The Moon God immediately locked onto Ji Jingqiu, sneering:

"All of you, no matter what he says, do not be deceived by this child, for their World Venerable Lineage is known for being eloquent!"

A silence fell over the heavens and earth.

World Venerable... Lineage?!

Someone suddenly looked at Xu Duo, this guy also mentioned... the name of the World Venerable just now?

Which World Venerable?

Ji Jingqiu stood with his hands behind his back, his presence merging with heaven and earth, making even a True Saint unable to discern his roots for a moment.

At this moment, he did not even glance at the Moon God, speaking calmly as if issuing an imperial decree:

"Cut."

The Moon-cutting Sword Light, circling around Ji Jingqiu, responsible for creating his momentum, felt indignation in its heart. Damn it, due to a moment's carelessness earlier, this bastard guessed he had already recalled the deeds on the Returning to Truth Road, but similarly, this bastard was shameless enough to order him around, treating him as no outsider at all!

The next moment, it viciously locked its gaze on that bright moon.

A line of sword light soared upward!

As the once familiar sword light shot once more, the Moon God's expression drastically changed, and she gritted her teeth, saying:
