"Hmph! You brat, spouting nonsense!"
Ancestor Xuanyuan refused to believe he could lose to a Foundation Establishment stage junior: "What makes you think you can kill me? I have cultivated for two thousand years, how could a little girl like you in her teens possibly kill me!"
Tian Ning chuckled: "How will you know if you don't try?"
The Heavenly Fate Sword in her hand shone even brighter. The sword technique she unleashed was like a dazzling, radiant sun, illuminating the entire Floating Life City, leaving everyone mesmerized. The sword light intensified, sword energy crisscrossed, and as the longsword fell, accompanied by a soft shout, the girl's figure transformed into a stream of light: "Heavenly Fate Sword Technique, First Form—Heavenly Punishment!"
Cut off evil in the world and restore peace to heaven and earth.
Everyone stared in disbelief at this scene, as if a star from the heavens had fallen to earth, dazzling and brilliant. This sword strike carried a devastating power against evil, and it was aimed directly at Ancestor Xuanyuan!
At this moment, even as a powerful being in the Tribulation Transcending stage, Ancestor Xuanyuan was still flustered.
He had never been so close to death. His instincts told him that if he didn't dodge the sword, he would surely die!
However, just as he was trying to struggle, a chilling coldness spread throughout his body, and in front of him was a handsome, unfamiliar sword spirit dressed in a black brocade robe.
The sword spirit was elegant and noble, and with a flick of its finger it could absorb and control the demonic energy at the same time, making the demonic energy tightly bind the Xuanyuan Ancestor, rendering him unable to move.
"Why are you running away?" The sword spirit chuckled. "My Ningning hasn't had enough fun yet, how can you leave?"
"You..." Ancestor Xuanyuan's pupils shrank sharply: "You are the Demon Sword!"
Doubt, confusion, regret, despair...
In just a few seconds, the Demon Sword sensed the old man's fear.
But as a demonic sword, how could he possibly sympathize with this foolish fellow?
Before Tianning's sword fell, the demonic sword greedily devoured every wisp of demonic energy from Ancestor Xuanyuan. Until the very last second, the sword spirit departed, and the sword technique struck Ancestor Xuanyuan directly. Its terrifying power even pierced through his flesh, leaving a huge sword mark on the Floating Life Giant Tree!
Everyone witnessed history firsthand.
That sword mark was left by her!
Beneath the ruins, the sword in Tianning's hand had become the original iron sword. Her spiritual power was exhausted, and she stood there with difficulty, yet she smiled brightly.
The girl's voice was clear and bright. She said, "Xuanyuan Hengzhi, you've lost!"
His era is over; no more innocent people will suffer.
The vengeful spirit of the Xuanyuan Ancestor stared intently at Tian Ning, and then he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha—" He laughed maniacally, looking at these innocent children with utter sarcasm: "So what if I lost? You bunch of fools! You're not very capable, but you're eager to die! Do you think I'm the only one who has committed evil deeds in the entire cultivation world? There are many people who are more wicked and more depraved than me. Do you really think you can control all the evil deeds in the world?"
"The evil in this world can never be eradicated. I'm just unlucky to have fallen into your hands!"
He knew he was about to die, so he wanted to disgust them before he died!
Even knowing this, the disciples couldn't help but feel a pang of gloom. Besides Ancestor Xuanyuan, there were probably countless scoundrels hiding in the shadows, doing the most heinous things...
"A loss is a loss. Why should a defeated opponent have so many complaints?" Tian Ning spoke, her voice pulling everyone back to reality.
The girl's frail figure stood there stubbornly, swaying precariously. She was exhausted and looked like she might collapse at any moment, yet she possessed an indomitable spirit and stubbornly argued with the half-dead old man.
She said, "The world is broken and dilapidated, but someone will mend it."
"Don't worry about it, that person is me!"
"More and more people will go on to do what they want to do for justice! Remember, everything has cracks, and where there is darkness, there will be light!"
Just then, the night ended, and the rising sun cast a soft glow upon the girl.
She was so striking that she was impossible to look away from simply standing there.
"Tianning, Tianning... The person who named you is truly interesting." In the final moments of his life, Ancestor Xuanyuan murmured these two words, and for some reason, he lost the will to argue with this stubborn young man.
She truly lives up to her name.
As the Ancestor Xuanyuan breathed his last, he saw the city of Fusheng overflowing with demonic energy. The rogue cultivators who had rushed from outside the city encountered a group of unfamiliar young people in the ruins.
The morning sun was blinding, and in the blink of an eye, they vanished like a mirage...
The rogue cultivator was taken aback; had he misread it?
The Secret Realm of Return has closed, and time has returned to normal.
For five thousand years, the world still does not know what happened on the day of Xuanyuan's destruction.
Five thousand years later, the secret realm of the return journey reopens, revealing the buried truth. Those spirited young people become the variables, coming to change this history—
