As expected.
In the moment the Martial Soul Green Leaf Power of the Endless World Tree began to destroy his body, a latent power within Ye Xiaofan suddenly sensed an endless threat and abruptly awakened.
In an instant.
Boom—!!!
A familiar aura exploded violently from the depths of his Profound Sea, awakening wildly. First, it obliterated the endless green leaf power, and then a vast and mighty force surged from the depths of the Profound Sea, terrifying enough to make one’s heart tremble.
It was only at this moment that Ye Xiaofan realized what restriction his master had left inside him—it was the peak Three Swords of the Sword Saint!
And even at this critical juncture, as his body was on the brink of death, he still only activated the first sword.
In an instant, an earth-shattering sword might rose to the sky, vowing to shatter the endless heavens and earth.
Ye Xiaofan did not hesitate and immediately controlled this sword, merging countless Sword Qi into one, directing it toward the Dragon Emperor Sword.
At this very moment, Ye Xiaofan seemed to see the Sword Saint on the peak of South Peak when he demonstrated that sword for him, the same sword used to intimidate endless enemies of the past.
The first sword of the Dragon Emperor Sword Technique—One Sword to Heaven!
When the Sword Saint executed this sword on the South Peak, Ye Xiaofan could never forget the scene of the Heaven’s Mark emerging in the firmament.
Though the Sword Saint was a regional Sword Saint, he was the pinnacle of the Sword Dao, and the sword he wielded would undoubtedly shake the heavens and make ghosts cry, even across the entire Martial Soul Continent.
With the furious infusion of the endless Sword Power, the Dragon Emperor Sword in Ye Xiaofan’s hand suddenly blazed with brilliance, and a world-destroying might emerged from the sword body.
Moreover, at the moment of wielding this sword, Dao Fruits of the Sword Dao burst forth, flooding into Ye Xiaofan’s consciousness. He knew that it was the First Generation Sword Saint’s extraordinary Sword Technique, the Dragon Emperor Sword Technique.
Endless Sword Techniques appeared around his body, flashing rapidly like a scroll of artwork, fleeting as a flickering moment.
"Dao Fruit?"
Numerous Saint Realm powerhouses were shocked and discolored by this scene, clearly realizing that it was the Dao Fruit of a lifetime of the First Generation Sword Saint. It was laughable that the Sword Saint’s enemies hoped to seize his Dao Fruit upon his fall, not expecting that years ago, he had already sealed his Dao Fruit in the form of restriction within this young man.
"No wonder the Sword Saint’s withering accelerated countless times after the young master entered the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain,’ as it turns out, the Dao Fruit was no longer within him."
"The Sword Saint’s deep affection for the young master is so touching, it’s astonishing."
Even Yunmo Baitian and others, at this moment, seemed to feel the painstaking care of the elder on South Peak, declaring that the young man was his sole life-bet was not an exaggeration.
At this moment, Ye Xiaofan similarly felt the painstaking care of Dugu Nan and his former pain intensified, like a warrior on the verge of collapse, putting everything into wielding this sword.
Nevertheless, it’s clear that the restriction was ultimately a restriction; Dugu Nan’s sword was lifeless and would not actively aim at Bai Yue, but once it erupts, everything within its range would be destroyed, regardless of friend or foe, as long as his disciple survived, everything else mattered not to Dugu Nan.
Although such a restriction seems inhumane, it precisely proves the extent of the Sword Saint’s affection for the young man. In his eyes, there was only Ye Xiaofan, and he would spare no opposition, even if it meant facing the entire world.
But the problem now is that Ye Xiaofan wants to use this sword for himself, to avenge Ye Xiaoyue, which poses a significant issue.
To utilize one of the peak Three Swords left by the Sword Saint, there was at least one prerequisite: Ye Xiaofan must have learned the Dragon Emperor Sword Technique and be able to perform the first sword, "One Sword to Heaven," even if its power was not at the same level, at least enough to wield it.
"No, if my information is correct, the young master has not learned the Dragon Emperor Sword Technique. This sword might cost him his life."
In a critical moment, Yunmo Xi, who arrived with the thousands of saints, exclaimed; others might not understand, but having fought through the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain,’ she knew well that, although Ye Xiaofan had apprenticed under the Sword Saint, he had not had time to study the Dragon Emperor Sword Technique.
This could be glimpsed from the sealed Dao Fruit of the Sword Saint; otherwise, the Sword Saint would not have sealed the Dragon Emperor Sword Technique within the restriction.
With those words, the saints were all taken aback, Ye Xiaofan forcibly altering the trajectory of the sword, seemingly equating to self-destructing.
Were he not to forcibly control this sword, it would explode outward, protecting him, obliterating all life. But if he intervened forcibly, the result would differ unless he had already mastered the Dragon Emperor Sword Technique; otherwise, the sword was unmanageable.
However, at this point, Ye Xiaofan had already guided the sword toward the Dragon Emperor Sword. Despite the saints’ anxiety, they dared not intervene recklessly, for it was the peak sword of the Sword Saint, and rash action might backfire.
But Ye Xiaofan was already at the point of no return. With the scenes of the Sword Saint’s fall and his sister Ye Xiaoyue vivid in his mind, he had lost all control.
However, what was out of control was merely his emotions. In reality, the moment the sword appeared, Ye Xiaofan understood it all.
