"No wonder. If it's as I think, then I take back what I said before. You're definitely among the top in the entire Heart Constellation. You'll surely have a place on the Tai Shi Ranking (mentioned in Chapter 1 of this volume)!"

As the rain fell, the blood and flesh that had been scattered on the mountaintop reacted. The soil and rocks stained red by Dao Chengyi's massive amount of blood gradually turned red as they were soaked by the rain.

As the rain intensified, the area began to turn crimson. The water shouldn't have accumulated so quickly, but the amount of blood flowing out was so astonishing that it had already accumulated on the ground.

"In the first half of my life, I was mediocre and accomplished nothing, just sitting around waiting for my life to end. At that time, I told myself that there is nothing wrong with a simple life, and many people do not even get such a simple life."

"But when I gained power later, I was overjoyed and happy to have it, but I was afraid that others would find out and reject me or bring me danger."

Daocheng brought one hand back to his chest to catch the rainwater, watching it gradually grow from drop by drop into a puddle.

"Back then, I suppressed my feelings and told myself to be content with what I had, to stay ordinary, and to protect my safety. After all, a life where I wouldn't be easily threatened in the future was already wonderful, wasn't it?"

"Can……"

"I can't do it..."

Dao Cheng raised his head and looked at Sword Incense Master with a look that was filled with resentment, dissatisfaction, and some kind of suppressed emotion.

Sword Master didn't know what that feeling was like, because he was extraordinary in his life and would become even more extraordinary in the future, but he understood the discomfort and discomfort of suppressing this extraordinary nature.

"Since we have power, we should show it, let them see it, let them exclaim, let them worship. People are different. Some people are ordinary because they can only be ordinary, while others are ordinary only to make their lives more extraordinary."

"The world is so vast. Let's not even mention the talents of the Central Plains. The Western Desert, the Northern Wilderness, and the Eastern State are all backward. Even in a remote place like the Southern Frontier, there are talents like you."

"How wonderful the world will be then? Suppress yourself? Wrong! Show yourself! Go and meet the heroes of the world!"

Sword Master spoke loudly, extending an invitation to Dao Chengyi with his unsword-wielding hand. This time, it was a sincere expression of mutual respect.

"Yes, why should I suppress myself? The world is so wonderful. If I always hide myself, what good is it even if I am invincible? It would be a waste of my youth, which is only a little over ten years old."

"So I want to go and see, I want to showcase myself. The mediocre people on stage only insult my eyes. Only myself... only myself! Should be the one to showcase myself!"

"Hahaha...hahaha!"

The rain formed a curtain, connecting the sky and the earth. The dense curtain of water became a long river falling from the sky, enveloping heaven and earth and washing away all things.

Dao Chengyi, whose rainwater had been completely ignited, flipped his hand and fell. With this action, the Myriad Things Gu immediately exerted its power.

Countless beings, their flesh and blood accompanying the Dao's unified soul, slowly merged and moved together amidst the torrential rain.

Crimson light rose from the ground, following the trails of raindrops, and soared straight into the sky. In an instant, the mountain erupted with a crimson hue that seemed to reach the heavens, as if the sky were weeping blood, or as if the earth were bleeding, with azure blood surging into the sky!

Fine, blood-red lightning spread from Dao Chengyi's body, using the blood and rain as a medium to connect and roam throughout the entire area, soaring and climbing towards the sky.

Alone, Dao Cheng stared blankly at the scene of the Milky Way overflowing and the blood-stained rain, watching as the thick pool of blood centered on himself had already taken shape.

In the surging pool of blood, countless fish and dragons lifted him high, while the wandering blood lightning gathered on the ground and took on a more and more solid shape.

At this moment, he soared high in the sky, accompanied by countless thunderbolts, and boundless blood and rain fell, enveloping the Sword Master and quietly locking him in.

The colorless clouds were awakened by the blood-red lightning rising from below, and streaks of lightning snaked across the sky, accompanied by a deafening autumn thunderclap!

The Blood Path Killing Move, a combination of Wanwo Gu, Blood Gu, Thunder Control Gu, Blood Qi Yin Thunder Gu, Power Gu, and Soul Gu, has finally been revealed thanks to Dao Chengyi's efforts.

With absolute intimidation, with absolute pride, and with this magnificent aspiration that stands in the heavens, Dao Chengyi clenched his fist. It was the first time he had clenched his fist since he was born twenty-five years ago. It was the fist he had clenched in his previous life because he was bullied and felt resentful. It was the fist he had clenched in his mediocre life because he was determined to create a great career.

This time, however, he wouldn't helplessly let go and then casually numb himself with the illusory satisfaction of short-lived pleasure. He would clench his fist again and let everyone know what this fist would do.

"Let me tell you what I have always wanted in this life, and let me tell you what I am unwilling to accept my humble origins."

Rain shrouded the mountains, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, making it difficult to see any light. Only at this moment, lightning burst forth around Dao Cheng, and ferocious dragons and snakes flew about!

And it was at this moment that he suddenly began to sing!

"A Milky Way hangs in the sky, fish and dragons leap! The autumn wind is still, all flowers wither!"

With this untamed youthful spirit, I will capture the essence of the clear breeze and bright moon!

Thunder rumbled and roared, and boundless lightning spread like a net, illuminating the entire world and awakening countless living beings. Dao Chengyi, with his fist clenched, gathered the blood-red lightning that permeated the entire mountain and connected to the sky.

The boundless rain of blood began to form a cloak protecting and spreading his power, its crimson hue fluttering wildly!

The lightning in the clouds was drawn by him, and the immense power of heaven was also accumulated in his right fist. A huge dragon with ferocious head and horns roared out, biting its own head.

"I'm free to listen! I'm free to see!"

"Then I'll show you what my ambition is!"

"Let me borrow a line of poetry from my favorite book, 'The Record of Goddesses'!"

"I do not know the height of the blue sky, nor the thickness of the yellow earth!"

"Where is the Divine Lord? Where is Taiyi?"

"I will cut off the dragon's feet! And devour its flesh!"

The longsword hummed softly, imprinted with the word "Flying Light." He controlled the sword with his inner energy, his hands forming hand seals. Vast inner energy emanated from the Sword Master, causing the longsword to split and its light to dance!

In an instant, a scroll slowly unfolded behind the Sword Master: the sky was clear and blue, and all sounds were audible! The sun blazed across the sky, displaying boundless heat, and yellow carriages carried the road. The landscape was a mix of boundless blue and boundless yellow, and countless creatures fought fiercely! Lions, tigers, bears, leopards, eagles, falcons, and roc birds! Their feathers fluttered in the sky, and their roars echoed across the earth!

In the sweltering summer, all things vie for supremacy! This is what the Sword Master desires and thinks of, just like the world itself, where countless powerful figures contend for supremacy amidst the scorching heat!

"Let's compete and see who prevails!"

"How wonderful! How wonderful!"

A thunder dragon roared down from the sky, while the earth sword leaped upwards, wielding boundless heavenly might to fight back, its three-foot-long sword rising from the ground to slash at the thunder!

In an instant, all was silent. A moment later, a sound resounded throughout the mountains, startling countless creatures into a frantic rush. Even the distant green grass heard this battle cry.

The mountaintop cracked, rocks rolled, thunder trembled, sword energy crisscrossed, and violent shockwaves overwhelmed the surrounding old trees, slicing through the mountaintop and overturning everything within a 300-meter radius like a whirlwind.

But amidst this brutality, a wild, unrestrained laugh could be heard.
