This novel is translated and hosted on Bcatranslation
“Who dares intrude upon the forbidden grounds!”
A furious roar echoed from the sky, accompanied by a terrifying wave of pressure.
Lu Chao Chao gripped her sword, her expression calm as she watched the City Lord of West River soar toward her.
His formidable aura engulfed the entire City Lord’s Mansion, locking onto Lu Chao Chao.
Upon seeing the shattered barrier, his face twisted in shock.
He hastily retrieved a mystical artifact from his robes, blocking any external prying eyes.
“That saves me some trouble,” Lu Chao Chao murmured softly.
The City Lord’s face darkened as his gaze landed on the six severed iron chains. High God Chong Yue lay collapsed on the ground. His pupils shrank in alarm, his eyes filled with wariness.
“Who are you? Why have you trespassed into the forbidden grounds of West River City?” The man had a square face, his gaze righteous, appearing the very embodiment of justice.
He was one of the three True Monarchs of the Spirit Realm.
True Monarch Ming De.
“You have not yet ascended, yet you possess a dense divine aura.” With one glance, Lu Chao Chao discerned the divine energy clinging to him.
It was the aura of Chong Yue.
No wonder. No wonder Chong Yue’s godhood was teetering on the brink—he had been plotted against by vile hands!
“Imprisoning a god, siphoning divine power—do you not fear divine punishment? Do you not fear retribution from the Divine Realm?” Lu Chao Chao’s eyes turned red with fury. Her disciple had suffered such a fate!
True Monarch Ming De regarded her impassively. Strangely, he could not sense any spiritual fluctuations from her.
“Retribution? Who dares pass judgment upon me?”
“You?”
“What are you? Do you think yourself worthy of seeking justice for the gods? In West River City, even a god must break their spine and kneel before me, Dao Monarch Ming De!” His arrogance was boundless. In the Spirit Realm, his power was near absolute.
With a sweep of divine power, Ming De scrutinized her, and confusion clouded his brow.
He had assumed she was a reclusive hidden master. But now…
He discovered she was only four years old!!
A true bone age of four years old!
Moreover, there were no traces of possession on her.
To put it bluntly, in the Spirit Realm, even a stray dog was older than her!
“Ming De… You are Dao Monarch Ming De?” Lu Chao Chao’s expression flickered slightly. Qing Yuan—the name was vaguely familiar.
“As the City Lord of West River, you dare commit such blasphemy!”
“Imprisoning a god, desecrating divinity—this crime is punishable by death!”
The crimson mark on Lu Chao Chao’s brow blazed with fire.
“You deserve to die!”
“Who says no one will uphold justice for him?” Her voice turned icy as she leapt forward, sword in hand.
Ming De did not dare be careless and faced her with utmost caution.
Yet, within a single exchange, a bizarre familiarity and an indescribable pressure welled up within him.
Her sword techniques were devastatingly domineering. A streak of killing intent sliced through the air.
In an instant, his right hand was severed, sword qi surging into his body, wracking him with agony.
“Aghhh!!”
“Do you acknowledge your sins?!”
Lu Chao Chao vanished in a flicker. A terrifying pressure bore down, her sword tip pressing against his throat.
Ming De was one of the top three in the Spirit Realm, yet within three moves, he was utterly defeated by a four-year-old child!!
“Who… who are you?!” True Monarch Qing Yuan’s eyes filled with blood, his expression riddled with fear and disbelief.
Had a god descended to the lower realm?
No… She bore no divine aura, and no god was a master of the sword!
“You still don’t repent?” Her blade swung towards his knees.
Sword qi flashed, and blood gushed from his knees.
With a sickening thud, he collapsed, kneeling before High God Chong Yue.
The weight of her words struck him like a bolt of lightning.
Only now did he notice the spirit sword in Lu Chao Chao’s hands. As he recognized it, his pupils constricted violently…
How…
How could this be?
“No one to advocate for him? No one to uphold justice?”
“He is my disciple! Who dares to harm him?!” Lu Chao Chao’s voice was steely.
Even if all the gods of the heavens stood in her way, she would slay them all!
True Monarch Ming De’s face drained of all color. His lips trembled uncontrollably, terror consuming his soul, yet no words would come.
It was her.
It was her.
She had returned!!
“Sun…”
“Sun… Shine… Sword Sovereign! You are Sword Sovereign Sunshine!!” True Monarch Ming De slammed his head against the ground, frantically bowing.
Blood poured down his forehead in rivers.
“Sword Sovereign Sunshine! It was my mistake! My grave mistake! I will never dare again!” His face turned ghastly pale. Though Lu Chao Chao had sacrificed herself for a thousand years, her legend never faded in the Spirit Realm.
Her fierce protectiveness was renowned across all realms.
“It was not me! It was Ten Thousand Swords Sect, relying on their connection to you, who pleaded for High God Chong Yue to descend.”
“The three of us merely joined forces to subdue the weakened High God Chong Yue.”
Lu Chao Chao was the Sword Sovereign of Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Her seven disciples were all of the same sect.
The sect had always been granted favor on her account.
For her sake, they had received many considerations.
Lu Chao Chao’s small face was devoid of emotion, yet a wry sense of absurdity swelled within her. An urge to annihilate everything burned deep in her soul.
“I will not falsely accuse you. Today, I shall perform the Soul-Searching Method upon you.”
“As City Lord, you hold the fate of countless lives. If your deeds are just, you have nothing to fear. But if you have been ruthless, harming the innocent…” Lu Chao Chao placed her hand atop his head.
Ming De’s deepest secrets flashed through Lu Chao Chao’s mind.
Her breath hitched slightly, a fleeting sorrow flashing in her eyes. She remembered something.
Then, she saw how he had imprisoned young girls, and her fury ignited.
She even caught glimpses of the Elven Race.
Her eyes snapped open, killing intent flooding her gaze.
With a crisp crack, her hand pressed against Qing Yuan’s head.
His skull fractured instantly, cracks spreading across his entire scalp, blood gushing out like a broken dam, drenching his face.
Ming De trembled, staring blankly at Lu Chao Chao.
“I have… disappointed you.” His voice was hoarse and weak.
As he spoke, blood spewed violently from his lips.
“You… You probably don’t remember. Back then, I was eight years old, my entire clan slaughtered by demon beasts. You saved me.”
“You have saved countless lives. Perhaps… you do not remember.” His face twisted in a bitter smile.
Back then, after Sword Sovereign Sunshine’s sacrifice, he had raged at his own helplessness.
He had raged at the injustice of the world.
But now…
“Back then, I made you swear—to remain true to your heart and protect the people. You failed.” Lu Chao Chao’s voice was quiet, yet disappointment was unmistakable.
Ming De froze. “You… You remember me?” More blood poured from his lips, tears of blood streaming down his face.
“Ming De, I personally gave you your Dao name.”
“I rescued you from a demon massacre, believing you would never forget that tragedy. But instead… you became the butcher’s blade!”
“Ming De, your path of cultivation—I opened it for you. Your Dao name—I bestowed it upon you. Your life—I saved it.”
“Now, I shall take it all back!”
