Nine Realms Sword Emperor

"So much nonsense."

Chu Fengmian looked at the roaring Sun Yun, pointed a finger, and a crack appeared in Sun Yun's chest, tearing his body apart.

Sun Yun, who was just so arrogant, was effortlessly killed by Chu Fengmian.

"And as for you all, each and every one of you will die."

The remaining Sun family martial artists wanted to escape, but with a snap of Chu Fengmian's finger, their chests split open like Sun Yun's, and they all exploded to death.

Including Uncle Du, who was also lightly killed by Chu Fengmian.

After doing all this, Chu Fengmian's figure subtly moved and stepped into that desolate planet.

Chu Fengmian hadn't originally intended to kill, having saved those Sun family members out of mere benevolence.

But these Sun family members, instead of being grateful, wanted to deal with Chu Fengmian, so their deaths were their own fault.

Chu Fengmian was never a kind person; on the contrary, he was extremely ruthless towards his enemies.

However, this time, Chu Fengmian indeed invited a significant trouble.

"The Sun family, a human martial artist clan; I didn't expect humans to have a foothold in this Ancient Demon Continent."

While extracting Sun Yun's memories, Chu Fengmian muttered to himself.

From Sun Yun's memories, Chu Fengmian roughly understood what kind of existence the Sun family was.

On the Ancient Demon Continent, demons are revered, which is common knowledge; however, besides the demon race, a considerable number of humans exist on the continent.

Chu Fengmian had never heard of any human forces before, only encountered Hidden Kill Guild in the Bloody World, and now the Sun family is also one of them.

The three major human forces: the Hidden Kill Guild, the Martial God Sun family, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

These three forces are hidden within the three great empires, and they are enough to stand toe-to-toe with the empires, though they lack invincible figures like the Ancient Serpent Desolation or the Divine Dragon Emperor, making them retreat into the background.

Within these three forces, there exist truly sovereign emperors, not just quasi-emperors, but powers that have truly stepped into the realm of emperors.

But Chu Fengmian never regretted it; he killed them, and the Sun family provoked him first, dying by his hand was their due demise.

Anyone who dares to retaliate against Chu Fengmian will also pay the price.

"Let's see what this Xuantian Ruler really is."

From Sun Yun's memory, all that was known about this Xuantian Ruler was that it was an extremely important treasure of the Sun family.

When Chu Fengmian's mind moved, the colored ruler fell back into his palm.

This Xuantian Ruler before his eyes, compared to a spiritual artifact, seemed more like an extraordinary thing from all heavens, as Chu Fengmian sensed no signs of it being refined.

It seemed as if it was born innate, being in its current state.

Chu Fengmian observed for a long while but could not determine what this Xuantian Ruler was.

"Forget it, let's test its effects."

Chu Fengmian grasped the Xuantian Ruler and poured in spiritual power, seemingly activating a special power from it, which merged into Chu Fengmian's body.

But that was all; as soon as the power merged into his body, it disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, there was no change in Chu Fengmian's strength or realm.

"No effect?"

Chu Fengmian furrowed his eyebrows.

From Uncle Du's memory, he knew how to use the Xuantian Ruler: injecting spiritual power and waiting for the ruler to feedback power, which should be enough to enhance strength.

Yet now, for Chu Fengmian, it was utterly useless.

Chu Fengmian tried several times, always with the same result. The power emitting from the Xuantian Ruler vanished completely after merging into Chu Fengmian's body.

"Has my power reached the Xuantian Ruler's limit?"

Thinking it over, Chu Fengmian had a sudden thought. Before him, another Chu Fengmian appeared, condensed.\\

A clone.

Martial artists at Chu Fengmian's level could long since use spiritual power to form a clone, though it drains from the main body.

For Chu Fengmian, who was accumulating strength, forming a clone was unthinkable, so he never did it.

However, conjuring a weaker clone took little effort, and soon it was formed.

This clone looked identical to Chu Fengmian, except its power was controlled at the peak of the immortal realm.

Chu Fengmian then ordered the clone to take the Xuantian Ruler and infuse it with spiritual power; the clone's strength rapidly ascended, breaking through the quasi-emperor barrier before stopping.

Now, this clone's power was identical to Uncle Du's, with no difference.

"Indeed, this Xuantian Ruler can only elevate power to the quasi-emperor level, after which it is meaningless."

Seeing this, Chu Fengmian shook his head, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He had hoped to use the Xuantian Ruler to further ascend his realm, but it only allowed power to reach the quasi-emperor tier.

Though Chu Fengmian's realm was only that of the Fate realm, his power surpassed a quasi-emperor.

The Xuantian Ruler was thus useless to Chu Fengmian, something miraculous but not very practical.

"Forget it, I'll give it to someone else to use when there's time; reaching quasi-emperor strength is still greatly beneficial."

After examining it briefly, Chu Fengmian tossed the Xuantian Ruler into the Space Ring.

"Let's explore this treasure land first."

Chu Fengmian's figure flickered as he stepped into the desolate planet.

At a glance, this desolate planet seemed utterly lifeless, with no creatures around. Previously, a large group of blood ghosts occupied it, preventing other blood demon beasts from approaching.

Now that Chu Fengmian had slain the blood ghosts, clearing the trouble, he saw countless blood stones on the desolate planet.

"Collect!"

Chu Fengmian's figure, like a tunneling light, swept over the desolate planet. As Chu Fengmian's light passed, the blood stones underground were directly seized by Chu Fengmian and stored in the Space Ring.
