The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 383 - 338: The Death of the World’s Protagonist (Part 3)

Clearly an old man nearing the end of his life, yet his heart surged with intense emotions.

"Unwilling!"

"I, unwilling!"

Immediately, a resolute gleam flashed in the Moon Emperor’s eyes.

This decree should still be issued by me!

He took out the token and loudly announced, "The victor of this East and West Continent Competition is Chu Huaixu of the Daoist Sect!"

"Chu Huaixu, come forth to receive the Profound Yellow Leader Order!"

Upon the stage, Chu Huaixu simply replied, "Yes."

But before stepping onto the stage, he first withdrew the [Heart Sword] from the National Guardian Sword.

Once the Sword Spirit of the National Guardian Sword returned to its place, it immediately emitted a loud sword cry.

He opened his right hand, and the sword began to be drawn by the Imperial Capital’s grand array, intending to return as the array’s core.

Yet before flying away, the National Guardian Sword lingered around Chu Huaixu in reluctance, circling him twice!

After rising into the sky, it paused for a moment before departing.

This scene fell into the eyes of the Moon Emperor and the great cultivators of the Moon Country, causing their eyelids to involuntarily twitch slightly.

——Why to such an extent! Why indeed!

The Old State Preceptor Ming Xuanji, his hollow eyes looking very unsightly.

His greatest reliance was merging himself with the array.

He was unaware that only when Chu Huaixu’s Sword Heart broke through could such an unusual phenomenon and resonance occur, allowing him to borrow the National Guardian Sword from afar.

All he knew was that his Imperial Capital’s grand array could be destroyed by him at any moment!

Ming Xuanji’s first reaction was: "It just so happens that I can use this as a reason to propose to the Emperor to spare no cost in the future to kill this fiend and restore order!"

Otherwise, the grand array protecting the Imperial Capital and the Imperial Palace could be broken by him at any time, making entry unchallenged!

So, how could the safety of the Imperial Capital be protected?

However, he quickly fell into hesitation.

"Xuanxiao is dead."

"The future... where will it head?"

At this moment, Chu Huaixu was truly the first prodigy of the Profound Yellow Realm!

The upcoming Origin Spirit Realm would also rely on him.

Previously, Ming Xuanji had choices.

Because he had "seen" the futures of Qin Xuexiao, Lin Zixuan, Han Shuangjiang, and Xu Ziqing.

He knew that it was a good solution, where the Profound Yellow Realm could be saved.

Hence, he despised the variable that was Chu Huaixu, fearing his existence would lead everything to uncertainty.

Yet, at this moment... does he still have a choice?

He struggled immensely inside, unable to resist the urge to perform a divination immediately!

"With what little life I have left, I can no longer see the end..."

Everything would eventually be as Chu Huaixu said, dying halfway through calculating him!

Just as the National Guardian Sword finally flew away, Chu Huaixu slowly stepped down from the stage.

The surrounding crowd immediately made way for him.

This time, unlike when he entered, there were almost no curses, nor many cold stares.

The shock he brought, and the oppressive feeling from the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root, left them a bit shaken.

As this young man approached, onlookers could smell the rich scent of blood on him!

It couldn’t be helped, whenever Chu Huaixu engaged in fierce battles, he would be stained with a lot of fresh blood, and amusingly, most of it was his own....

The amount of blood in a body is limited.

Yet every time he used the [Six Out of Seven], his skin would crack and bleed profusely.

Then his body would quickly heal, only to bleed again, repeating the cycle.

Blood spurted quickly, and blood regenerated quickly...

But when others smelled the intense scent of blood, would they care about all this?

They only felt he was like a god of slaughter crawling out of hell.

Chu Huaixu just walked step by step onto the high platform.

When the Moon Emperor stood up, everyone followed suit.

"Well done." As he passed by, Jiang Zhi was the first to praise him.

The Sword Venerable and others from Tian Luo’s side also nodded to him with smiles.

"This old body of mine hasn’t been active in a while, thanks to you today, it’s been refreshing." The very old Tian Luo smiled and said.

But these words were unpleasant to the ears of the Moon Country’s great cultivators, yet they could only accept it with pinched noses.

Standing before the Moon Emperor, this elder, his eyes somewhat clouded, said nothing, only nodding slightly.

Then, he handed the Profound Yellow Leader Order to Chu Huaixu.

This scene was different from the First Realm competition.

Back then, the Sect Leader Xiang Yan personally bent down to give Chu Huaixu the token.

But the Moon Emperor was, after all, His Majesty the Emperor of the Moon Country.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, his own royal grandson having died in a duel, if he were to bend down and personally place the token on this young man, wouldn’t that once again insult the nation!

Yet at this moment, this blood-soaked young man suddenly reverted to his former polite self.

Or it might be said...

——This is the courtesy of the victor!

As Chu Huaixu displayed perfect etiquette, saying, "Chu Huaixu, thanks Your Majesty!"

Then, he lowered his head and placed the Profound Yellow Leader Order on himself.

But the number of tokens hanging from his waist was indeed a bit too many.

Just the Profound Yellow Leader Orders were already two!

After wearing it, he slowly turned around.

No roaring cheers erupted.

The tens of thousands below were almost silent.

The Daoist Sect disciples, ignoring the tens of thousands from the Moon Country, were the first to burst into hoarse cheers, like thunder breaking in silence, attracting the attention of tens of thousands.

"Congratulations to the Direct Disciple Chu for reclaiming the top position!"

"Congratulations to the Profound Yellow Leader!!"

Following that were the disciples of the Sword Sect.

Then, the disciples of Luotian Valley and Spring and Autumn Mountain were also infected.

The Four Great Sects, united as one.

Moreover, today was indeed exhilarating! It was truly not just Chu Huaixu’s victory alone!

And those sects from the Mirror Country, seeing the Four Great Sects leading, promptly followed.

Chu Huaixu’s face began to show a hint of a smile.

Because after he donned the token, he finally heard the system’s prompt in his ear.

"[Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the main quest of the East and West Continent Competition, you may now claim the final reward!]"

A million experience points, one Celestial Level Treasure Chest, one Spiritual Embryo Attribute Point, have all been credited!

Standing on the high platform, Chu Huaixu looked down at the tens of thousands below.

Some were happy, some were angry, some were excited, some were resentful....

The appearances of all beings were varied.

Yet he stood high above, his spirits soaring.

Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, it couldn’t be said he advanced cautiously, but he did steadily walk to where he was today.

The pain brought by the "Refining Sword Formulas" is unimaginable to ordinary people.

He started with a despised Pseudo Spiritual Embryo, accumulating bit by bit.

"Finally, an Upper Grade Spiritual Embryo." Chu Huaixu thought to himself.
