The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2602 - 2577: Impermanent Divine Sword!

Heavenly Dog True Person and Shen Qin now stood three steps back from the skeleton, glaring coldly at one another.

Lin Bai lurked within the shadows, avoiding any impulsive actions.

"Senior Heavenly Dog, are you aware that all Eight Great Envoys of the Demon Sect hold the technique to trigger the Life and Death Talisman? Do you think I could reduce you to a puddle of pus and blood at this very moment!" Shen Qin declared with a chilling smirk.

Upon hearing those words, fury and reluctance flickered across Heavenly Dog True Person’s features, and he clenched his teeth before asking: "What exactly do you desire, Envoy Shen Qin?"

Shen Qin glanced at the skeleton and chuckled: "That must be the legendary Good and Evil Real Man from back in the day, famous across the land. Legend has it that the sword beside Good and Evil Real Man was called Impermanence, renowned for its unmatched sharpness!"

"It’s known as the Impermanent Divine Sword!"

"With this sword in my grasp, Lin Bai would pose no threat to me."

"Thus, I request that Senior Heavenly Dog retrieve the Impermanent Divine Sword and deliver it to me."

Shen Qin fixed a frosty gaze on Heavenly Dog True Person as he spoke.

Heavenly Dog True Person responded with equal chill: "Hmph, you’ll be disappointed—this old fellow erected a Magic Circle before his death, barring anyone from approaching within three steps!"

"Try it yourself if you doubt me!"

Heavenly Dog True Person added icily: "If it were possible, I’d have claimed this old man’s resting place long ago—do you suppose I’d leave behind such an unparalleled sharp sword willingly?"

Shen Qin’s eyes narrowed menacingly toward the skeleton as he said coldly: "In that case, did you journey here today just for a casual visit, Senior Heavenly Dog? Weren’t you after the Impermanent Divine Sword?"

"I suspect Senior Heavenly Dog has already figured out how to draw near the skeleton, yet refuses to surrender the Impermanent Divine Sword to me, so you claim it’s impossible to get within three steps?"

Shen Qin sneered mockingly at Heavenly Dog True Person.

Heavenly Dog True Person’s face grew icy as he declared: "I truly have no idea how to get close to the skeleton!"

Shen Qin shot back coldly: "You dare to lie to me!"

"Do you think I won’t trigger the Life and Death Talisman?"

Heavenly Dog True Person’s visage darkened at these words, his gaze lingering on the dust-laden sharp sword before the skeleton, a spark of avarice gleaming in his eyes.

A century prior, Heavenly Dog True Person had stumbled upon Good and Evil Real Man’s legacy by chance, which remained the core of his current cultivation. Through tireless research, he had pinpointed Good and Evil Real Man’s tomb right here in the Poison Dragon Mountain Range.

Not just in the Phoenix Song Area, but across the entire East Continent, both Heavenly Dog True Person and fellow warriors hunted relentlessly for Good and Evil Real Man’s burial site.

While Good and Evil Real Man’s Daoist Law legacy drew interest, far more coveted was the sword he wielded—the Impermanent Divine Sword!

In his prime, Good and Evil Real Man dominated the East Continent with that single sharp sword, vanquishing every hero in the region; that very blade was the Impermanent Divine Sword!

The reason behind Good and Evil Real Man naming his sword "Impermanence" remained a mystery to all.

After unearthing Good and Evil Real Man’s tomb, Heavenly Dog True Person exhausted every trick to seize the Impermanent Divine Sword, yet failed to breach the three-step barrier around the skeleton.

Over more than a hundred years, Heavenly Dog True Person experimented with countless approaches, gradually uncovering hints and gaining slight confidence in claiming the Impermanent Divine Sword.

Just as Heavenly Dog True Person geared up to retrieve the Impermanent Divine Sword, the Demon Sect ambushed him, implanting the Life and Death Talisman and compelling his servitude.

As a result, Heavenly Dog True Person postponed his quest for the Impermanent Divine Sword.

Even now, he staked everything to obtain the Impermanent Divine Sword and challenge the Feng Family Seven Ancestors, only to be trailed by Shen Qin, resulting in this tense standoff!

Unknown to Heavenly Dog True Person and Shen Qin, Lin Bai watched their every action from the shadows behind them.

"Make haste!" Urgency twisted Shen Qin’s face as he gnashed his teeth and snarled coldly.

Heavenly Dog True Person seethed inwardly with rage and humiliation—a powerhouse at Great Perfection of the Wending Realm, a dominant force on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, reduced to taking orders from a mere Sixth Layer Death Reversal Realm youth!

This humiliation ignited a blazing fury in Heavenly Dog True Person’s heart!

"Very well! I’ll give it a shot!" Though anger boiled within Heavenly Dog True Person, the Life and Death Talisman’s power forced obedience to Shen Qin’s demands.

Clenching his teeth, Heavenly Dog True Person formed hand seals, summoned the Magic Circle, and advanced slowly.

He chanted incantations under his breath.

Suddenly, a wondrous sight unfolded—Heavenly Dog True Person successfully approached the skeleton.

"I made it in!"

Even Heavenly Dog True Person was stunned by his own success.

Wild elation lit Shen Qin’s face as he urged: "Hand over the Impermanent Divine Sword at once!"

Heavenly Dog True Person grasped the dust-shrouded Impermanent Divine Sword from the ground.

As the sword emerged from the dust, a clear, resonant cry rang through the Stone Chamber.

"The Impermanent Divine Sword, among the 72 Emperor Weapons of the Barbaric Ancient Continent!" Greed burned fiercely in Heavenly Dog True Person’s eyes as he clutched the Impermanent Divine Sword.

Greed mirrored in Shen Qin’s gaze as he shouted impatiently: "Senior Heavenly Dog, pass me the Impermanent Divine Sword!"

In that instant, Heavenly Dog True Person whirled toward Shen Qin, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

A Wending Realm Great Perfection expert, commanded by a puny Sixth Layer Death Reversal Realm insect—such indignity would enrage anyone.

Gripping the Impermanent Divine Sword tightly, Heavenly Dog True Person stared down Shen Qin with icy contempt.

Under Heavenly Dog True Person’s piercing stare, a chill gripped Shen Qin’s heart, prompting him to cry out: "What are you planning?"

"A trifling Sixth Layer Death Reversal Realm warrior dares bark orders at me; without the Life and Death Talisman’s bind, I could extinguish you with a mere breath!" Heavenly Dog True Person snarled with frosty menace.

"Silence yourself!"

Heavenly Dog True Person lunged forward, thrusting the sharp sword viciously at Shen Qin.

The strike was blindingly swift, arriving before Shen Qin in an instant.

Yet Shen Qin remained unflustered, sneering: "Old fool, I anticipated you’d refuse to yield the Impermanent Divine Sword easily—now suffer the Life and Death Talisman’s torment!"

Shen Qin had readied his hand seals in advance; the moment Heavenly Dog True Person attacked, he unleashed them.

On Heavenly Dog True Person’s neck, the "Life and Death" characters blazed with fiery, searing light.

"Ah!" A piercing wail erupted from Heavenly Dog True Person as his airborne form went limp, crashing to the ground where he clutched his head in excruciating agony!

"Don’t trigger it further..."

"Cease it!"

"Make it stop!!" Heavenly Dog True Person’s features twisted in torment as he pleaded with Shen Qin.

His tone carried unmistakable supplication and desperation.

Shen Qin laughed coldly: "Apologies, but I only know how to activate the Life and Death Talisman, not halt it—to end its effects, seek out the Sect Master!"

"The Life and Death Talisman will agonize you for seven days, dissolving you into pus and blood afterward—find the Sect Master within that time for any hope of living!"

With a smug grin, Shen Qin approached, snatched the Impermanent Divine Sword from Heavenly Dog True Person’s grasp, and inspected it closely, his face alight with ecstasy.

"One of the 72 Emperor Artifacts on the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

"The Impermanent Divine Sword!"

Joy beamed across Shen Qin’s countenance.
