"Perhaps he's just not used to having someone standing in front of him..."

"So... even this boundless vastness, to him, is perhaps just... one person standing in his way..."

"What he might... want to rely on is the sword in his hand..."

"Or perhaps... the sword in his hand is... him..."

Chu Xiaoxiao's expression trembled upon hearing this, "But he... he's already carrying enough on his shoulders, doesn't he want to stop... and rest?"

"But he couldn't stop anymore. He knew that if he didn't move forward, then... he would plunge those behind him into hell once again..."

"Therefore, he could only push himself again and again, to make himself... stronger..."

"The drunkard sighed."

"Senior knows him so well, could it be... that you are also from the lower realm?"

Fairy Baiyue asked curiously.

"Maybe."

The drunkard didn't answer directly, but silently raised the wine jug and drank it down one sip after another.

Boom—Crack!

At this moment, the heavens and earth roared, and that frail figure was completely enveloped by this endless cause and effect!

But... at this very moment, everyone in the Second Heaven Realm could clearly feel that... ever-growing... pure sword energy spreading out!

"Ha, such ant-like behavior. If you were to successfully attain the supreme Human Emperor, I fear I would perish at your hands... But you should never have chosen to bear such consequences and even tried to... hone your swordsmanship through it!"

"Your actions will only hasten your death... or perhaps, you were meant to die!"

Qin Mochou roared angrily.

His aura was endlessly frenzied.

At this moment, he... had transformed from the aloof and pure sword cultivator of the past into a demon lord whose body was filled with violent demonic intent!

But strangely enough... at this moment, his cultivation level... instead of decreasing, increased. However, this increased cultivation level... was filled with an indescribable emptiness and an unspeakable... tyranny!

It was as if... under such cause and effect, he had already... gone mad!

clatter.

Just then, the thin figure, enveloped in countless threads of causal blood, suddenly... calmly... took a step forward!

The moment he took that step, the world changed color, and endless karma surged forth from him once more!

But to everyone's astonishment... a pure sword aura, radiating seven-colored light... also burst forth from the magnificent and surging causal bloodline at this moment, shining brightly in... the Second Heaven Realm!

"His swordsmanship... has improved again!" Xia Yuan exclaimed in disbelief.

Sizzle...

The moment his voice rang out... the constantly waving seven-colored sword energy... gradually merged with the countless fine lines of cause and effect in the sky, and, in their mutual reflection, released an even more surging and magnificent sword energy!
