Qin Feng defeats the first three guardians of the temple, who are revealed to be immortal spirits bound to protect it. He learns that they must kill any intruders, including their own clan members, and that only a stronger opponent can free them from their eternal duty. The fourth guardian, a woman with immense power and skill, nearly overwhelms Qin Feng but is ultimately defeated. She warns him that the final guardian, the Heavenly King, is far more powerful.

But there were experts who had a fondness for Huangfu Tianjiao. For example, Dongfang Mubai in the Sword Palace, respected as the "Sword Saint." All of them had far surpassed ordinary Holy Lands, possessing extraordinary methods and achievements. So even a thousand years later, some people would still remember them. But it’s hard to say what happens after that thousand years.

Yet far too many people shine across the Endless Domain. The whole world sings of their legends. Their names even become a kind of faith, eternally worshiped by countless people. For example, the indestructible Demon Emperor Xin, who alone fought against six ancient clans with long histories. Another example, Li Zhong, the most Holy man, acknowledged as the absolute number one, who recently received the Great Power of the Holy Domain. Another is Fu Zheng of the Array Talismans, whose Soul Power is the finest in the world; he created the Heavenly Bright Rune and is worshiped as an ancestor by all Array Dao Masters and All Buddha Masters. In the long flow of tens of thousands of years of history, there was also a man of greatness filled with endless legends—that was Huang Fu, the "King of Yanyan," who supplicated heaven!

Qin Feng walked forward without hesitation. Before long, he arrived at the last Guardian, the famed "Red Sun King."

The moment he saw the other party, a feeling of despair rose in his heart.

"So an intangible Domain can be this intense!" Qin Feng let out a faint sigh. "I’ve long heard that even when the strongest forces are useless, an invisible Domain alone is enough to plunge the enemy into despair. Looks like this is exactly that."

Three months later, Qin Feng walked out of the Sword Cultivation Land.

During those three months, the Void King Beast and Saint Peiyou often watched from afar, not daring to disturb him. Because Qin Feng was their only hope, they could only wait obediently.

"He’s out."

"Qin Feng is coming out."

As soon as Qin Feng stepped out of the cultivation ground, the Sky King Beast and Saint Peiyou immediately flew over.

Before the two could speak, Qin Feng said, "This time I learned quite a bit of Swordsmanship. Sword of Death and Life Sword have both reached the level of Domain. However, I underestimated the difficulty of fusing Life and Death Swordsmanship. I didn’t succeed. With my current Body Power, I’m still not sure I can break through the corridor."

"No rush, no rush. We’re not in a hurry!" Saint Peiyou was not anxious; he was only afraid Qin Feng would make a mistake. After all, leaving later is better than never leaving, and besides, Qin Feng was already progressing amazingly fast.

The Void King also said, "You can cultivate in peace."

"Alright," Qin Feng nodded. "I’m done Practicing Sword for now, because when will I ever fully comprehend the Swordsmanship of life and death? I have no foundation in it. Better to steadily push my achievements higher. Though it will take some time, at least when water naturally gathers, it will flow into a canal."

"Promote your achievement?" Saint Peiyou was stunned. "You can still advance your cultivation now?"

In Saint Peiyou’s eyes, Qin Feng’s strength had already reached the peak of a Level 9 Holy Land; otherwise, how could he be so powerful?

"Just wait patiently." Qin Feng didn’t explain. It wasn’t that he was trying to be secretive; it was simply unnecessary to let others know that he had only later cultivated to the fifth layer of the Holy Land, and hadn’t even reached the Sixth Layer of the Holy Land.

At that time, Qin Feng once again plunged into compression, sprinting toward each node. In this process, he did not kill evil spirits, but instead raised his cultivation by absorbing the power of Life and Death Cycle, because the effect had nearly faded and he could only rely on himself. Although this process was much slower, just as Qin Feng had said, when water naturally forms a canal, everything becomes predictable.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

"Void one, Pei you," Qin Feng’s voice came from far away.

"Qin Feng!"

"Lord Qin Feng!"

Hearing Qin Feng’s voice, Sky Beast King Pei Yousheng immediately greeted him. The moment they laid eyes on Qin Feng, they instantly felt how different he was. At this moment, Qin Feng gave them the feeling of a lofty god above, whom they could only look up to, never defy. It was an invisible bearing, superior to all others.

"I’m going to break through. Although I can’t claim absolute certainty, I’ll give it everything I have. Wait for me." Qin Feng gazed at the King Beast in the Void and at Peiyou, speaking somewhat wearily.

"Yes, yes!" The Saint Peiyou was filled with hope.

The Void King also nodded solemnly.

None of them had expected Qin Feng to attempt the trial again so soon. Clearly, Qin Feng was not a Rash man; if he chose to make another attempt, he must have some confidence. The moment they thought he might succeed, they couldn’t help feeling excited.

Up in the air.

Qin Feng looked down on this vast world steeped in resentment. The world of resentment had once been bustling and noisy; now it was deathly silent. All the resentful spirits, upon seeing him, had hidden themselves away, not daring to show their faces.

"Right now I’m at the Sixth Layer of the Cultivation Holy Land, and my supreme, Invincible body has finally broken through, reaching the highest realm of the Level 9 Invincible Body. Aside from a deeper Sword Dao, it’s about time I found an opponent to test myself." Qin Feng then turned into a stream of light, flying straight into the distance. Soon, he reached the edge of the temple and sped along the corridor.

The first three evil ghosts were still blocking Qin Feng, but this time Qin Feng rushed past even faster. He didn’t intend to waste time.

The fourth complaint.

"You’re here again." The woman in white clothes looked at Qin Feng with teary eyes. "It’s been less than a year since last time; can you defeat Lord Zhiyang?"

"You’ll know once you try." Qin Feng gripped a broken sword and lunged forward.

The two met almost instantly. Within moments, sword light roared. The swordsmanship of the "woman in white clothes" was extremely gentle and yin-soft; it looked harmless, but the Swordsmanship carried even greater Poison. Yet the broken sword in Qin Feng’s hand turned into a black hole, blocking all of the woman’s Swordsmanship.

"Only defending?" The woman in white clothes had been unable to land an attack for a long time; she couldn’t help but shout and curse.

"You can defeat me." Qin Feng remained calm.

To him, this woman in white clothes, whose strength could rival Long Huntian, was a whetstone to hone his experience. He should observe carefully who was stronger and who weaker. "Time to end this."

Qin Feng’s sword suddenly shifted from defense to offense.

Screams, screams, screams.

Sword light howled, went rampant, and covered the sky. The woman in white clothes, terrified, used all her strength to respond. But Qin Feng’s boundless sword light seemed like endless waters of despair, flawless and without gaps. In just a single breath, the woman in white clothes was slashed down, rolling across the corridor before she could even stand.

"You..." The woman in white clothes stared at Qin Feng in shock, then forced a bitter smile. "I didn’t expect that in under a year, you’d become this strong. I’m really starting to look forward to seeing who’s stronger, you or Chi Yangjun."

Qin Feng also smiled. He was very satisfied with the cultivation of the Sixth Layer of the Holy Land and the full eruption of his Sword Dao.

Genius!

Qin Feng turned into a stream of light, swiftly moving deeper into the corridor.

It became darkness.

Qin Feng quickly saw the King of Despair.

"I saw those battles you just fought." The Red Sun Lord lifted his eyes, looking at Qin Feng from afar. "Come, let me properly experience it."

"Alright!" Qin Feng nodded. At this moment, there was nothing more to say.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, two Shadows had collided.

Two kinds of Swordsmanship—one carried the Domain of Life and Death, with sword light continuous and unbroken. It was forged from many essences he had created, such as the Life and Death Road, and so on.

The other was despair. The Magic Power of the Swordsmanship matched the King’s despair, yet was also breathtaking.

Explosions burst like opening and closing switches.

You advance, I retreat; I advance, you retreat.

It was like a duel to the death. Both sides’ Swordsmanship had their own strengths; one could say this was Swordsmanship pushed to the extreme. However, in general, Qin Feng still held the advantage, though he would occasionally get injured. Yet with his Body Power having reached the highest realm of the Level 9 Invincible Body, those wounds were all negligible.
