The sky turned dark.

The people of Great Xia North County were completely immersed in darkness, losing the guidance of light.

A beacon was urgently needed to rekindle hope for them and illuminate the path ahead.

And at this moment, that long-awaited "lamp" appeared boldly!

Upon closer examination, it was clear that it was not a mundane flame, but a sword light from beyond the nine heavens!

In this world drowned in darkness, a sharp and blazing beam of light pierced through for the first time.

The demonic creatures lurking in the shadows instantly transformed into blazing fireballs under the baptism of this dazzling white light, unable to remain hidden.

At first, it was just a faint glimmer breaking the darkness,

which then spread into a sea of fire,

until the entire fallen dark world was consumed by flames.

Heaven was incinerated, the sea was boiled.

The heavenly sword light appeared like a torrent crossing the sky, surging forward unstoppably, crushing everything in its path.

The fallen dark world seemed like an old, tattered rag, easily torn apart, shattered.

The North County saw the light again!

...

"That’s impossible."

Above the Knight’s Code, the black twisted lines no longer danced energetically, and the words they formed seemed pale and powerless.

"Nothing is impossible."

Lin Jingxuan stood up in the air, closing his eyes, unable to face that sword light.

What kind of sword light was that,

one that even a Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouse couldn’t face directly!

Although he couldn’t see it, he could feel it, and because he could feel it, he unconsciously straightened his posture.

He recognized the owner of that sword light.

It was the new leader of Great Xia, his junior brother, Han Zhan!

"Second senior brother, I didn’t come too late, did I?"

"You came just in time."

Lin Jingxuan opened his eyes once the sword light slightly dissipated.

Han Zhan stood in front of him, with Li Lingzhen and Xia Youwei by his side.

"You guys are back."

Han Zhan’s gaze swept over the North County below and landed on the Knight’s Code opposite.

"Yes, we are back."

Han Zhan’s voice was immensely penetrating, clearly ringing in everyone’s ears.

Those familiar with the voice instinctively looked up to the sky.

In their eyes, there was surprise, fanaticism, admiration, and joy.

To the North County, Han Zhan was more like a flag.

Wherever he was, the spirit of the North County was there.

"Han Zhan!" It was unclear who called out first.

"Han Zhan!"

More and more Great Xia people joined in.

Li Tugui, emerging from the fallen darkness, looked comfortingly at the young people standing side by side in the sky.

Shang Siteng and others also showed joy on their faces.

The greatest crisis of Great Xia was resolved by Han Zhan’s return and that incredible sword light!

Imperial Leader Louis XVII wore a face full of confusion.

He didn’t fail to hear the shouts of Great Xia people in the air, and he knew the name.

During the last siege of Li Shutong, Han Zhan, as his ninth disciple, was the catalyst for determining the siege plan.

At that time, Han Zhan was still so weak that he wasn’t even worth a second glance.

How long has it even been?

Half a year? A year?

Has he already broken through to Tier Eight?

That wasn’t the main reason for Louis XVII’s bewildered shock.

What truly struck him as unbelievable and absurd was that the fallen darkness, painstakingly communicated through the Knight’s Code, had been shattered by a single sword light.

A single sword?

This made all their previous elaborate efforts and struggles seem like a joke.

"The sword light just now was definitely more than Tier Nine."

Antonio’s face turned ashen, his hand gripping the sword slightly trembling.

The sword from beyond that pierced the darkness not only shattered the fallen darkness but also shattered an Imperial Sword warrior’s belief!

"Perhaps it’s just a special tool." Louis XVII, noticing Antonio’s unsteady state, spoke again, "We haven’t completely lost yet; we still have a chance on the front battlefield!"

Antonio shook his head.

He said nothing more.

Just the wrinkles of worry on his brow deepened further.

"The Knight’s Code, through the fallen darkness, plundered a wave of Great Xia’s life; the Yin Yang Four Symbols Array was broken, and as the host of the array, Lin Jingxuan suffered backlash."

"In a tit-for-tat, we still hold the advantage."

"Not to mention that although you and I are seriously injured, after a short period of recuperation, we can barely make a move. Plus, with the Tier Nine Peak Pope, it’s not impossible to take down Great Xia!"

Louis XVII’s judgment wasn’t wrong.

But he misjudged one point.

That Han Zhan’s return, the impact on the battle might be greater than he anticipated!

...

On the stone steps leading to the mountain top.

Wei Qing’s body remained, and before his life was exhausted, he had successfully reached Tier Nine.

The body of a Tier Nine melee Ultmate is stronger than imagined, even though his heart had stopped, the oppressive aura he exhibited still instilled fear, deterring anyone from approaching.

At this moment, a figure fell onto the stone steps.

"Eldest senior brother..."

Han Zhan looked at the scene before him, his heart skipped a beat, creating a ripple.

"Ah Zhan, eldest senior brother hasn’t completely died yet!" Li Lingzhen, who followed behind Han Zhan, suddenly hastened her pace to remind him.

"Not completely dead?"

Hearing this, Han Zhan’s eyes regained their brilliance.

"Yes." Li Lingzhen nodded slightly, "I can sense, although his heart was crushed, eight of his acupoints are still supplying life spiritual power, continually repairing the lost vitality."

"The two have reached a delicate balance."

Eight acupoints.

It’s the Eight Urgent Fist!

Eldest senior brother indeed became the second person, after Teacher Li Shutong, to perfect the Eight Urgent Fist!

Li Lingzhen possessed the Shennong Cauldron, with the keenest perception of life spiritual power, Han Zhan trusted her judgment in this regard.

So, he continued to ask, "What should we do now?"

"Demon God’s Heart." Li Lingzhen answered.

In fact, when Han Zhan asked this question, he vaguely guessed the answer himself.

Eldest senior brother’s heart was crushed through a curse, and the Demon God’s Heart as an Original Dao Soldier coincidentally matched his melee talent.

Using the Demon God’s Heart as a new heart for eldest senior brother Wei Qing couldn’t be more appropriate!

Han Zhan took out the Demon God’s Heart, and with the help of Li Lingzhen, the Demon God’s Heart was infused with life spiritual power and simultaneously submerged into Wei Qing’s body!

"Creation of Living Beings!" Li Lingzhen called out softly, the Shennong Cauldron manifested in the sky, a large amount of vast life spiritual power was infused into Wei Qing’s body. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Thump!

Thump!

The drumming heartbeat resounded from Wei Qing’s body, a terrifying aura of a Demon God emanated from him.

Tier Nine Ultimate, the Demon God amongst mortals!

In the next second, Wei Qing opened his eyes.

He recognized his junior brother and his contracted spirits standing before him and nodded.

Then, Wei Qing’s gaze shifted towards the mountain summit.

"Now, the tide has turned."
