Chu Yang slashed out with his sword. This time, there were no extraneous movements, only a seemingly ordinary strike, a strike that left everyone astonished!
The sword's edge grew larger in the eyes of the cultivators. At this moment, a sense of helplessness rose within them, as if under this sword, they had no chance of resistance!
It was this unremarkable strike that caused these proud cultivators to be greatly alarmed.
They dared not slacken even a bit. All of them joined forces, unleashing all their spiritual power.
Each displayed their ultimate martial arts techniques to resist Chu Yang's astonishing sword.
However, all their actions were in vain under the sword's edge. The wooden sword cut through their attacks like a hot knife through butter, leaving a horrifying wound on their chests.
Blood gushed out like a fountain, and the cultivators' eyes were filled with shock and despair.
Finally, they fell slowly to the ground.
Chu Yang, too, was utterly exhausted at this moment. He had already reached his limit, always barely holding on. Now, after unleashing such a terrifying strike, his consciousness completely plunged into a coma.
...
The cultivators outside the Heavenly Emperor Realm displayed strange expressions after seeing the Emperor faint.
On one hand, they were moved by the Emperor's indomitable will. On the other hand, they were intimidated by the boy Emperor's final, terrifying strike.
It was evident that Chu Yang was able to unleash such a powerful strike due to his gradually forming Sword Heart.
Although he had no cultivation at that moment, he relied solely on his powerful Sword Heart to slay all these cultivators.
Of course, if the Emperor had not lost his Supreme Bone, he would not have been bullied by these nobodies.
Logically, they should have felt immensely satisfied and secretly pleased seeing the boy Emperor in such a state. Yet, at this moment, they felt a deep sense of admiration.
They knew very well that the Emperor did not realize the extent of his sword talent, understood the vast difference between mortals and cultivators, and knew he had almost no chance of defeating these guys.
Yet, the boy Emperor never wavered, always moving forward, facing death with courage.
If someone with such great willpower could not become the Lord of Heaven and an Emperor, who else could?
"Clearly, from the start, if he had just stayed down, these guys would not have bothered with him anymore, but the Emperor never bowed his head."
Their admiration for the Emperor grew stronger. They never expected that the Emperor, who suppressed the Three Realms, had such a past.
"How did the Emperor, with his shattered Dao Palace and no foundation, reach his current level?"
"Could it be because of the sword path?"
"No, even Nie Emperor said later that the Emperor's Sword Heart also collapsed, so the sword path was not what he relied on."
They sighed with emotion. Each of them had a strong background, with abundant cultivation resources at their disposal.
They never lacked for techniques or inheritances and always had powerful beings guiding their cultivation.
Even so, reaching their current level and achieving such accomplishments felt incredibly difficult. A single misstep could prevent them from achieving the Emperor's position.
They had never experienced the tragic childhood of the boy Emperor. Born in the Immortal Realm, they never knew how cruel the mortal world could be. They could not even imagine how someone could rise from such an environment.
Yet, this Emperor became the strongest in the entire Myriad Spirits Continent.
Chu Nannan, suppressed within the Wushi Bell, saw everything the boy in the Heavenly Emperor Mirror had experienced, and tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.
From infancy, Chu Yang had always protected her, never letting her suffer any hardship. Later, she joined her sect, received her master's care, and inherited powerful legacies.
From the beginning until now, she had never gone through such ordeals.
Everything she had was due to Chu Yang's selfless dedication. Without Chu Yang, she would not be who she was today.
She had never considered how difficult it was for someone like Chu Yang, without any background, to survive in this cruel world, let alone rise.
The difficulty of this was far beyond her imagination.
Chu Nannan's heart felt like it was being cut with a knife. The more she saw what her brother went through later, the more pained she felt.
If her brother had not given her the Supreme Bone, would he have encountered such hardships?
"Chu Yang, wake up! Are you dead or what?"
Chu Yang felt as though his body was about to be shaken apart by the person in front of him.
For the first time, he found this guy incredibly annoying. All he wanted was a good sleep, but even that was denied. He regretted saving him earlier.
"Stop shaking me! If you keep it up, you really will shake me to death!"
Chu Yang coughed lightly, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The intense pain in his body gradually cleared his mind.
"Why did you save me? Why bother, getting yourself all hurt?"
"Seriously, are you out of your mind? You could've just stayed put and waited for them to leave."
Chu Yang could tell that although Nie Fengyun was scolding him continuously, his voice was choked with emotion.
He managed a faint smile and said, "We've been through thick and thin together for so long. I couldn't just stand by and watch you get killed by those scumbags, could I? If you died, who would I talk to afterward?"
Nie Fengyun retorted angrily, "Couldn't you just play dead? Why do you have to keep standing up? Do you think it makes you look cool?"
"But didn't I end up taking those guys down?"
"And what if you failed? You'd have been beaten to death."
"Those guys were right; you're not only crazy but also kind of dumb."
Chu Yang didn't get angry at these words. He didn't continue to bicker with Nie Fengyun.
What Chu Yang didn't expect was that this usually tough guy suddenly burst into loud sobs, which moved him.
Back then, even when Nie Fengyun got beaten up badly, he would still laugh it off and ask what they should eat later.
But this time was different. He wasn't just beaten; he was humiliated, and his pride was trampled on.
Chu Yang stepped forward, patting his shoulder to comfort him. "It's just a beating. Everyone gets beaten up sometimes; there's no shame in it."
"As the heir of an immortal family, I've never been so humiliated. Even the supreme beings of the Immortal Realm show me respect. Yet, in this mundane world, I've been disgraced like this."
"It's not shameful for you to get beaten, but if word of me getting beaten reaches the Immortal Realm, it'd be a huge disgrace!"
Chu Yang smiled faintly and didn't respond further.
Nie Fengyun continued, "I know you probably don't believe me, but I really am the heir of the Longevity Family in the Immortal Realm, the first heir of the Nie family, with a ridiculously high status!"
"When I reveal my true identity, I'll definitely blind your titanium-alloy dog eyes!"
Nie Fengyun was clearly upset, believing Chu Yang didn't believe his words.
