"An ominous premonition, perhaps someone wants my life again."

Qing Yu sat cross-legged in the Taiji Palace, speaking with great self-awareness.

Although the Heavenly Mechanism was chaotic, even powerful figures like Qing Yu and the Master of Heavenly Mechanism couldn't see clearly, yet they could still sense crises closely related to themselves.

Even though this premonition itself was quite vague, for Qing Yu to feel something ominous, it's probably yet another supreme adversary plotting against his life.

"Who could it be? The Dao Ancestor? Or those few from Daqian? Or perhaps the bald monks of the Buddhist sect?"

Honestly, aside from the Sword God and the Blade God, the rest were scheming elders unafraid of using underhanded tactics, and Qing Yu wasn't sure which of them might want to strike against him.

At the moment, the best odds would be with those few from Daqian. Mu Cangsheng, the Yama, and······

The Six Emperors.

Qing Yu had not forgotten the threat the Six Emperors had once posed to him. Nowadays, in the world, if one had to choose the strongest, the Six Emperors would undoubtedly be the top candidates.

In fact, had it not been for the lack of complete integration of Spiritual Sense and Battle Body back then, even if Qing Yu had teamed up with the Sword God, they would have found it difficult to repel the Six Emperors.

"Tricky enemies, and yet I'm short of Villain Points right now, making it hard to buy the remaining three volumes of the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture.'" Qing Yu said with a bit of distress.

Each volume of the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture' requires thirty thousand Villain Points, and apart from the very first volume, Qing Yu bought the remaining seven volumes using Villain Points. In other words, Qing Yu had already spent two hundred and ten thousand Villain Points on it.

And the reason for its exorbitant price certainly matches its value. Although Qing Yu rarely used the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture' against his enemies, the help it provided him was immense.

The 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture' begins with destruction, leading to the destruction of heaven and earth, the extinction of all living beings, divine fracture, and total cessation, reaching a state of universal devastation with the annihilation of all life, divine thoughts rent apart, and the cessation of all quiet.

Conversely, starting with creation, it brings life to heaven and earth, purifies all divine beings, transcends destruction, and brings cessation, thus allowing heaven and earth to flourish, divine beings to become clear and empty, destruction to conclude, and cessation to halt, aligning with the most auspicious and clear state.

The dual paths of creation and destruction, representing life and annihilation, provide unparalleled benefits to Qing Yu.

For this reason, Qing Yu had forgone twenty-one high-level draws to gather the full 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture.'

"System, how many Villain Points do I have left now?" Qing Yu asked.

"Twenty-three thousand four hundred points."

"Over twenty thousand, then I'm not far off from the next volume of the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture,'" Qing Yu thought for a moment and said, "Use the high-level draw from the time I destroyed Luo Fu Palace."

"High-level draw, drawing in process······" The system's mechanical voice narrated the draw process.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the five-and-a-half-star Character Card: Yinhuang Zhuwu."

Name: Yinhuang Zhuwu

Realm: Supreme

Items: Heavenly Flame Slash Wind Moon, Nirvana Sword (already extracted), Saint and Demon Embryo

Martial Arts: 'Wind Moon Slash,' 'Divine's Move,' 'Qi Dual Flow,' 'True Absorption Divine Technique'

Evaluation: Demon Realm War God, Emperor Qi Tian's Devoted Son!

A character card emitting platinum light appeared before him, and Qing Yu clasped his hand with excitement, causing a surge of Qi waves, "Zhuwu!"

Like Qing Yu, Yinhuang Zhuwu possessed a Saint and Demon Embryo, and was even the father of the Saint and Demon Embryo form that Qing Yu currently occupied.

With a similar Saint and Demon Embryo, Yinhuang Zhuwu's strength needed no elaboration, and his martial arts made Qing Yu drool with desire.

Not to mention, the origin of both "Qi Dual Flow" and "True Absorption Divine Technique," known as "Reverse Demon Origin," was very likely to be a six-star martial art. Yinhuang Zhuwu had seen "Reverse Demon Origin," but as he couldn't master it, he split the technique into "Qi Dual Flow" and "True Absorption Divine Technique."

Qing Yu had once created a knockoff version of "Qi Dual Flow," but in comparison to the real deal, the gap was quite significant, huh.

"System, I want to challenge Yinhuang Zhuwu." Without hesitation, Qing Yu immediately addressed the system.

"Inheritance Space, opening······"

The scene turned dark, and Qing Yu found himself transported from the bright white Taiji Palace to the peak of a mountain under the night sky.

As he appeared on the mountain peak, a golden-red blade energy slashed through the air, aiming straight for Qing Yu's head.

"Mystic Universe."

The black Qi Shield devoured the blade energy, and Qing Yu fixed his gaze towards the source of the blade energy, seeing three graves lined up in the distance. With his eyesight, he could discern the engraved names of the grave owners on the tombstones.

The Grave of Xiao Zhongjian.

The Grave of Jiu Huo.

These were the first and second tombstones, while the third had no characters yet. Next to it stood a crimson-haired sovereign, coldly side-glancing at Qing Yu.

"I sense a familiar yet detestable aura."

Yinhuang Zhuwu's gaze at Qing Yu was unmasked with disgust and a hint of agitated killing intent.

Clearly, he had sensed the homogeneous aura, the aura of the shared Saint and Demon Embryo.

The body Qing Yu currently inhabited originally belonged to Jiu Huo, wife of Yinhuang Zhuwu, who, using her own and their two souls, gave birth to the third Saint and Demon Embryo.

And this Saint and Demon Embryo was prepared for Emperor Qi Tian to descend into the mortal realm, but it was intercepted by the system just as it was born. Then Qing Yu drew this Saint and Demon Embryo, fully merged with it, and became the current Qing Yu.

'By bloodline, this body is still the son of Yinhuang Zhuwu. If I cut him down, I might end up being known as the mourning son.' Qing Yu exchanged glances with Yinhuang Zhuwu, his mind temporarily filled with strange thoughts.

"Saint and Demon Embryo, you're not Emperor Qi Tian, so who exactly are you?"

While Qing Yu was entertaining his unreliable thoughts, Yinhuang Zhuwu couldn't help but ask.

Yinhuang Zhuwu was certain the person before him was not his old father, as the individual wouldn't bother revealing themselves in another guise, nor would they remain silent for long.

If it were Emperor Qi Tian, he would have appeared and immediately proclaimed: "My son, come home with dad to inherit the billions in wealth, and there's a kingdom waiting for you to rule."

But if not, then when did another lineal Saint and Demon Embryo appear?

Yinhuang Zhuwu couldn't make sense of it, and Qing Yu wasn't interested in explaining that although it's the body of your son, I'm not your father.

He glanced at two tombs whose ownership was clear, and said, "Are you going to fight here, Yinhuang Zhuwu? I don't mind, but can you be that ruthless?"

In these two tombs were buried Yinhuang Zhuwu's most beloved wife and best friend. Qing Yu didn't mind using the corpses of the deceased to threaten Yinhuang Zhuwu, but considering doing so might increase the chances of making the opponent go berserk, he decided not to employ such petty means.

Upon hearing Qing Yu's words, Yinhuang Zhuwu also realized the other's intention to fight. Since they were confirmed enemies, there was no need for further words.

"Come."

Both figures moved one after the other, transforming into streaks of light that fell onto Tianmiao Peak, landing by a large lake three miles from the mountaintop.

By the lake was a small forest, lush and verdant, with a distinctive thunder-like characteristic.

At the place where both landed, they stood ten zhang apart from each other, facing one another. Yinhuang Zhuwu drew the straight, long Heavenly Flame Slash Wind Moon, his true qi no longer restrained, erupting violently.

"Boom—"

The snow-bright blade tip pointed directly at Qing Yu as Yinhuang Zhuwu spoke indifferently: "No matter who you are, the Saint and Demon Embryo should not exist in this world."

The Saint and Demon Embryo was the vessel for Emperor Qi Tian's primordial spirit. Without the Saint and Demon Embryo, Emperor Qi Tian couldn't descend. Yinhuang Zhuwu resented his old father deeply and was even willing to self-harm to sever the lineage of the Saint and Demon Embryo. How could he allow another Saint and Demon Embryo to exist?

"You want to kill me, funny thing is, I also want to kill you."

Qing Yu raised his hand, and a pure white long sword appeared in his palm, "Then let's try it; this time, can you kill this sword's master."

What he held in his right hand was certainly the Heavenly Divine Artifact Nirvana. This sword belonged to Xiao Zhongjian, Yinhuang Zhuwu's good friend, and after Xiao Zhongjian died at the hands of Yinhuang Zhuwu, this sword fell into his possession.

Now, Nirvana appeared in Qing Yu's hand.

"How is this possible?"

Yinhuang Zhuwu immediately swept his divine sense through the space in his sleeve, discovering the Nirvana Sword nestled securely inside. But the sword in Qing Yu's hand was also no counterfeit; Yinhuang Zhuwu was incredibly familiar with his good friend's sword.

"Nothing is impossible."

Qing Yu waved his left hand, and the nearby lake's water surged upward, crashing down with a world-overwhelming force.

Water·Sky-reaching.

This was the forbidden technique of the Innate Qiankun Skill, which Qing Yu now effortlessly summoned, with both the momentum and power surpassing past iterations.

Facing the enemy's fierce strike, Yinhuang Zhuwu could only suppress his internal doubts, as Wind Moon Slash swirled, gathering golden-red blade energy, "One Slash Wind and Moon."

Like a wave of Canghai overturning, a single slash parted it evenly, as Yinhuang Zhuwu shot forth, Wind Moon Slash clashing with the oncoming Nirvana.

"Clang—"

Blades and swords clashed more than ten times in a snap; biting sword qi and chilling blade edges endlessly collided, the agitated sword and blade energy slicing through the lingering waves, shattering, fluttering like snowflakes dancing in the air.

"Sky-breaking Flying Annihilation."

"Timeless."

In the chaotic sword shadow, four afterimages simultaneously wielded four swords, confronting the incoming golden-red blade light, as the exploding sword and blade energy burst onto both sides' protective true qi, absorbed and replenished by the opponent.

Qi Dual Flow and Mystic Universe, the protective qi forces of both sides.

The former could form an extremely solid qi shield to block qi force attacks. If the qi shield provided protection, then the True Absorption Divine Technique could absorb the qi force, transforming it into the cultivator's true yuan. Combined with Qi Dual Flow's inherent energy absorption traits, the cultivator's true qi was inexhaustible.

As for the latter, Mystic Universe absorbed the essence of Heavenly Demon Technique—summed up in one word: devour. Unless breached within limits, injuries were unwarranted.

"Clang—"

Blades and swords collided horizontally, both figures hastily retreated, each witnessing the other's defensive strength for the first time.

'Qi Dual Flow indeed lives up to the genuine article; much better than the imitation I created before.'

Qing Yu stomped his right foot fiercely on the ground, leveraging the force to advance, as the Nirvana Sword unleashed Heaven-shocking Sword Shadow, suspended across the sky, slicing downward.

"Tenth Sword Heavenly Burial."

Simultaneously, Qing Yu's aura and sword qi fused, transforming himself into a qi dragon, lunging with the sword in mouth.
