"The sun...it's the sun!" the underworld official exclaimed in surprise, staring intently at the ball of light.

"What warm sunshine!" The underworld officials looked at the ray of light and closed their eyes to enjoy it.

“I’ve almost forgotten what warmth feels like,” another grim reaper said.

Although they knew it wasn't the sun, its light was just as warm as the sun's and could soothe their tension.

Night wanderers are not like these underworld messengers.

He didn't know whether the sword was good or bad.

Therefore, he dared not let his guard down.

What if this sword was also summoned by the mastermind behind everything that happened today?

If so, then the appearance of this sword is not a good thing.

Just then, the sword, like a sharp blade, swept past Ye You's side, its tip aimed at the lamp spirit, and pierced directly into it.

He was stiff and didn't dare to blink.

When the sword just passed by him, he felt a powerful force.

That power was no weaker than that of the Little Yama King.

Ye You looked down at his trembling feet.

He was trembling.

He was trembling like this just from being brushed past him...

this……

No, no, it's the spirit of the lamp!

Ye You's mind raced, trying to figure out what that sword was and how it could have such power.

But then he realized that the sword was heading straight for the spirit of the lamp behind him!

Since the lamp spirit is weak, even if the sword cannot shatter the lamp spirit, it can certainly loosen the seal on the lamp spirit.

Thinking of this, Ye You turned to look behind him.

Ye You's expression changed drastically, and he looked completely bewildered.

The sword gradually merged into the lamp spirit, but it did not break the lamp spirit's seal.

Not only did it not cause any damage, but as the sword merged with it, the light emanating from the lamp spirit grew stronger and stronger.

"The lamp spirit isn't broken! My lord, the lamp spirit isn't broken!" the underworld official exclaimed in surprise.

Ye You rolled his eyes at the underworld official.

He saw that it wasn't broken, but he was surprised that it wasn't broken.

How can the sword be integrated into the spirit of the lamp without breaking the seal?

No matter how you look at it, something's not right!

Just as it flew past him, it made his legs tremble.

This power should be enough to shatter the spirit of the lamp.

"No, nothing's happening?" The underworld officials watched helplessly as the sword merged into the lamp spirit, and after merging, they found that there was no further movement, and everything returned to calm.

Apart from the lamp spirit's light becoming stronger, it was as if nothing had happened before.

"Your Honor!" Just then, a ghost messenger called out.

Ye You and the others turned around and looked at the judge who was leading the underworld officials, bowing their heads respectfully.

"Your Honor," Night Wanderer called out.

The judge gave a soft "hmm" and his gaze fell on the lamp spirit in front of him. When he saw that the lamp spirit's light was intense and dazzling, a hint of surprise flashed across the judge's face.

"The seal seems to have become stronger?" Black Impermanence asked.

"It's not just that it seems like it's become stronger than before," Bai Wuchang replied.

"Night Wanderer, what exactly happened?" Black Impermanence asked Night Wanderer.

"The sword suddenly appeared in the eighteenth level of hell. It radiated a dazzling golden light, like the sun, and pierced into the lamp spirit in a flash. The lamp spirit was neither broken nor cracked," a ghost messenger said excitedly, gesturing with his hands.

He can still recall how warm that ray of light was.

"A sword? You mean that iron sword from the depths of the icy abyss?" Black Impermanence asked in surprise.

He had seen that sword once before.

Inserted into the deep, cold pool, it looks as lonely and desolate as a person.

That sword, isn't it just a rusty sword?

"Yes, it's that rusty sword."

"That sword looks blunt, but when it shines, it looks incredibly sharp. I always feel like it could cleave the spirit of a lamp in two with a single strike."

The underworld official nodded in agreement.

The judge looked solemn, glanced at the lamp spirit emitting a strong light, and couldn't help but sigh.

after all……

I woke up eventually.

"Your Honor, what is the origin of that sword?" Hearing the judge sigh softly, everyone turned to look at him, and Ye You couldn't help but ask.

Judging from the current situation, the fact that the sword can strengthen the seal on the lamp spirit indicates that the sword is of great benefit to them.

But then the judge sighed, which puzzled him.

He was not only puzzled, but also curious about the origin of the sword.

From the moment he entered the underworld, this sword was in the eighteenth level.

Before he arrived in the underworld, even the underworld officials who had been there for hundreds of years said they didn't know where the sword came from, only that it was already there before they came.

Now, the only ones who can answer his questions are probably the judges, the right-hand men of the Little Yama King.

"That sword was once the personal sword of a king. It was originally meant to be a celestial weapon, but because it slaughtered the entire nation's people, it became tainted with malevolent energy and turned from a celestial weapon into a piece of scrap metal." A deep and eerie voice came from the judge's mouth.

Everyone looked regretful.

Originally destined to become a celestial artifact, it ended up as a piece of scrap metal in the Cold Abyss, spending its days in that human hell, never seeing the light of day.

A sword that can become a celestial weapon...

This indicates that this sword is not simple.

"No wonder that sword was surrounded by such a strong murderous aura. The king who wielded that sword is no human being. He doesn't even spare his own people," a ghost messenger cursed.

It wasn't just a city that was slaughtered, but the entire country.

Just thinking about it gave him goosebumps.

That's the entire country!

The entire nation perished under this sword!

“Perhaps that king was forced into it,” Ye You replied.

As the sword swept past him, though its power was immense and terrifying, it was clear that it did not intend to harm him.
