Legend of Swordsman
chapter-6080

The disparity was simply too great.

However!

To Jian Wushuang and his companions, those so-called experts of the Temple of World Annihilation were not worth mentioning.

A mere Seventh Tribulation, not even an Eighth Tribulation among them.

There was no need for Jian Wushuang to make a move; any one of them could easily crush the entire Qishen Temple.

Jian Wushuang was truly worried about Mie Sheng.

He had no interest in these minions.

“No Eighth Tribulation?” Wu Zuo frowned and sighed, “I thought the Temple of World Annihilation had some remarkable existence, but it turns out there isn’t even an Eighth Tribulation. How boring!”

Seeing Wu Zuo’s annoying expression, Jian Wushuang and the others said nothing.

It indeed was not what they had expected.

Mie Sheng was a true God of Starry Sky, yet he hadn’t cultivated even to the Eighth Tribulation level.

It didn’t make sense.

Given a few million epochs, even a Realm King could cultivate a group of Eighth Tribulation.

Mie Sheng wasn’t lacking in treasures or heritage!

How could there not be an Eighth Tribulation?

Zhen Ling felt a bit embarrassed, as if they were being criticized for being rubbish, not even able to handle a Seventh Tribulation, let alone an Eighth Tribulation.

Especially seeing the disappointed expressions on Wu Zuo and the others, he felt even more uncomfortable.

“I understand now, each of you possesses extraordinary skills, and you don’t regard opponents below the Eighth Tribulation as a challenge, right?” Zhen Ling glanced at everyone, eagerly saying, “Tell me, how strong are you all now?”

In fact, there was no need to ask; he could see the extraordinariness of everyone.

Especially Jian Wushuang and Hu Qing, who were completely unreadable, at least Half-Step Eighth Tribulation, perhaps even comparable to super experts of the Eighth Tribulation.

Wu Zuo and the others were the same, each exuding the aura of a Seventh Tribulation, with divine power fluctuations above 2 million.

Shang and Luo were also curious about everyone.

Both of them were Universe Masters of the Seventh Tribulation and could see the distinctiveness of everyone.

“Ahem!” Wu Zuo cleared his throat and said nonchalantly, “Not much, just gained some heritage and became a Universe Master of the Seventh Tribulation. It’s quite embarrassing; Shang didn’t even go to the upper stream spacetimes but still became a Universe Master of the Seventh Tribulation, making us seem like freeloaders.”

“Wu Zuo, you’re too modest. Although we are all Universe Masters of the Seventh Tribulation, I can see the difference in divine power!” Shang was very humble, but seeing the calm expressions of everyone, he felt assured. This time, they were really going to succeed.

The rescue troops they had awaited for countless years had finally arrived.

Eradicating the Temple of World Annihilation was urgent!

Luo was also very curious. She could see that everyone was a Universe Master of the Seventh Tribulation, but their divine bodies were inscrutable, each seeming like an insurmountable mountain.

Although they were at the same level, it felt vastly different.

Especially Wu Zuo and Wutian, just seeing them was like looking at an abyss.

As for Jian Wushuang and Hu Qing, they had reached the pinnacle of restraint, exuding an extraordinary aura without any trace of divine power.

Zhen Ling was the same. Although he was the master of the Qishen Temple, he could at most see that Wu Zuo and Wutian had extraordinary divine power, far stronger than any Universe Master of the Seventh Tribulation he had seen. But he couldn’t discern anything from Jian Wushuang and Hu Qing.

Either they were far beyond him, or they had cultivated some secret method to conceal their aura.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. Your return is a great blessing for our Qishen Temple. Today, we won’t discuss Mie Sheng. I have already asked Long Yi to prepare a banquet; we must celebrate!” Zhen Ling felt an unprecedented sense of relief, and his complexion improved significantly.

It had been many years since he had felt this way.

Although the threat of Mie Sheng remained, it wouldn’t make a difference in a day or two. Jian Wushuang nodded in agreement, saying, “I wonder how many familiar faces from the past are still around!”

“Not many of your batch of Inheritors are left!”

Zhen Ling’s eyes gleamed.

The banquet was held in the Heavenly Realm, not at the Tomb God Mountain.

That place was not suitable for a welcoming party.

Upon returning to the Heavenly Realm.

Looking around, everything had changed drastically.

The Yuanyang Palace still stood.

But the people were gone.

The current Yuanyang Palace had surpassed the Four Halls, becoming the foremost force in the Qishen Temple.

Even the Inheritors of Grave God Mountain couldn’t compare.

Because the threshold for Inheritors had been raised significantly, producing many experts, but their numbers were few.

Yuanyang Palace, however, followed the principle of teaching without discrimination, recruiting disciples widely in the Lower Spacetime and producing many Tribulation Realm experts.

The current Palace Master was Luo!

Luo had also joined Yuanyang Palace back then.

Shang was the leader of Grave God Mountain and also the leader of the entire Qishen Temple.

As for the Four Halls, their structure had long been disrupted. The former puppet hall masters had all retired to the background, handling some trivial matters.

The current four Hall Masters were all Universe Masters at the Sixth Tribulation level.

Even the hall masters of Yuanyang Palace were at the Sixth Tribulation level.

The group ascended to Yuanyang Island and entered the main hall.

On both sides, various figures could be seen. Some were familiar, but most were strangers.

After all, only a single epoch had passed initially.

But then came the sedimentation of millions of epochs.

Among the familiar figures, most were ordinary Tribulation realm practitioners, and some were Emperors.

After the cleansing of millions of epochs, Universe Masters had emerged, along with those who had fallen from grace.

When they saw Jian Wushuang and others return like heroes, their eyes gleamed with light.

A beam of light shone on the face of the first generation Inheritor.

It proved they had experienced those years.

They were Inheritors who had fought their way up from the Primordial Star.

Having gone through various adventures, the four great secret realms, and the threat of the Temple of World Annihilation.

These experiences had honed the light on their bodies.

Yet this light now appeared on Jian Wushuang and the others.

“If only Wan Xing were still alive, how great it would be!” A despondent woman, upon seeing the brilliance of Jian Wushuang and the others, thought of Wan Xing, who had once stood alongside them.

Unfortunately, he had already fallen.

Besides these disheartened old Inheritors, there were also some young Inheritors with confusion or resentment, even second-generation Inheritors.

They did not hold Jian Wushuang and the others in high regard.

“Are these the people that Lord Zhen Ling and others talk about?” A strong person among the four halls couldn’t help but mutter softly, “Why do I feel their divine power is quite average!”

“No, they are suppressing their divine power. The weakest among them is at the Seventh Tribulation level, comparable to the Palace Master. No wonder Lord Zhen Ling has waited so long and kept talking about them. They are indeed extraordinary!” Some young Inheritors noticed the exceptional nature of Jian Wushuang and the others, the invisible pressure they exuded was far beyond ordinary strong ones.

At the upper part of the hall, the six Palace Masters of Yuanyang Palace and the four Hall Masters sat on either side.

Each one was a super strong Universe Master at the Sixth Tribulation level.

They were comparable to the ten Demon Generals of the Temple of World Annihilation.
