Sword Emperor

If Si Ming wasn't dead... So where is he now? What was he doing again? Why had he been hiding for so many years? What was his purpose?...    

In just a short period of time, even Sun Bing, who had already reached the Heavenly Sovereign Stage, was almost blown up by the endless questions that had emerged in his mind.    

After a long time, Sun Bing finally managed to calm down. Although he could see some clues from the reaction of the Ancient Life Tree, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.    

What if the person who branded the mark on the Ancient Life Tree wasn't Si Ming?    

After taking a deep breath, Sun Bing carefully condensed his spiritual soul. He could only see a divine sword the size of a thumb appearing in the void in front of him, then slowly entering the Ancient Life Tree.    

The mottled tree bark didn't pose any hindrance to Sun Bing. He entered the tree with ease. Just as he was about to explore the core of the ancient tree, a vast pressuring appeared.    

For a moment, even with Sun Bing's mental strength and willpower, he felt as if he could not bear it and wanted to kneel down.    

However, as a swordsman, his last bit of stubbornness made him grit his teeth. The substance-like Sword Soul exploded with all its strength, blocking the terrifying pressure from the surroundings.    

After much effort, Sun Bing finally saw a blurry figure standing in the middle of the Ancient Life Tree, although he could only see an afterimage from his direction.    

However, Sun Bing could still tell with a glance that it was Si Ming.    

After getting this answer, Sun Bing's body and mind were shaken. However, at the same time, the pressure that came from all directions had increased dramatically. Under the mixing of many forces, Sun Bing's spiritual soul was expelled from his body.    

Horrifying forces erupted continuously. Even Sun Bing's spiritual soul had become somewhat illusory. Numerous backlash forces erupted in his body, causing Sun Bing, who had yet to recover from his injuries, to spit out more blood mist.    

However, at this moment, Sun Bing didn't care about his injuries at all. His mind was completely immersed in the scene that he had just witnessed, and he kept muttering to himself.    

"Even though many years have passed, that figure just now was definitely Si Ming. He was the only one who could unleash his power. That kind of supreme dignity and dominance from the heavens and the earth. This also means that he really didn't die!"    

The more Sun Bing thought about this question, the more shocked he became. He had once fought for the 100 Great Monarch's Dao in the Holy Ark of Salvation Core Space. He had already sensed that something was wrong, but he hadn't figured out the root of it all.    

Since Si Ming didn't die, all of these questions were solved.    

Now, the problem that Sun Bing was facing had changed. What was the purpose of Si Ming? There shouldn't be any backdoor in the Heavenly Book of Opening the Heavens, right?    

Numerous thoughts kept rushing into his mind. Finally, under the exhaustion of his mental and physical strength, Sun Bing couldn't help but open his mouth and spit out a blood mist.    

However, it was also because of this that Sun Bing finally recovered from that kind of fear. He looked at the Ancient Life Tree in front of him, which still did not show any signs of movement, and his eyes were filled with seriousness.    

"I don't know if you can hear me or not. However, no matter what scheme you have behind the scenes, it has nothing to do with me. Both of us will mind our own business. "    

Of course, even though he said that, Sun Bing still did not relax. Instead, he became more and more nervous. At the same time, a strong sense of urgency emerged in his heart.    

Last time, it was Great Sovereign Eon Light, and now, it was the legendary Si Ming. At least, these two had been plotting for ages.    

And this was something that Sun Bing already knew. There were more things that he didn't know. For example, the experts of the first era were rarely recorded in the legends. Could it be the same?    

Regarding this, Sun Bing knew nothing about it. Furthermore, he had deliberately overlooked this matter because only those with sufficient strength were qualified to explore such a secret. Otherwise, only death awaited them.    

And if one's strength was unrivalled in the world, then they would allow their enemy to scheme against them for all eternity. In the end, they would end up like Great Emperor Eon Light, utterly defeated!    

After a long time, Sun Bing's taut heartstrings finally relaxed. The injuries that he could barely suppress just now all erupted at this moment.    

For example, the backlash from time and space, the injury of the Sword Soul, the rupture of his body, and so on. With all kinds of forces gathered together, Sun Bing's body was almost torn into pieces. The Qi on his body had become extremely weak, as if he was going to fall at any time.    

But luckily, in the next moment, gao Jie's Nirvanic Holy Fire immediately turned into a fire phoenix. Along with a loud phoenix cry, Sun Bing's body reappeared on the spot.    

Recalling what had happened earlier, Sun Bing's eyes were filled with lingering fear. After all, the injuries on his body were too severe. If it had only taken him five years to recover from the injuries caused by the Sword Soul, the time he needed to recover would have doubled.    

However, to the current Sun Bing, what he lacked the most was time. A few months was fine, but ten years was definitely enough to cause a huge change. There was a possibility that an accident might occur in the entire Humans.    

Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, Sun Bing's eyes finally fell on the Ancient Life Tree in front of him. At the same time, he murmured.    

"I don't have any extravagant hopes for this Ancient Life Tree, but in billions of years, you should have a treasure that can help me recover from my injuries, right?"    

As he spoke, Sun Bing's eyes kept scanning the top of the Ancient Life Tree. After a short period of time, the incomparably huge crown of the tree appeared in his line of sight.    

After a careful observation, Sun Bing was surprised to find that boundless life force was surging in the crown of the tree. In the end, all of it converged towards the center of the tree. After following the trail, a fruit that was emitting a milky white light finally appeared.    

There was a lot of milky white fog surrounding it. It looked like it was in the midst of a misty rain, making it look especially hazy and mysterious.    

For a moment, Sun Bing could not help but be stunned on the spot. His emotions were extremely complicated. After a long while, he slowly spoke with a bitter tone.    

"Even the Qi that I breathed in and exhaled was such a pure energy. Then, this should be the legendary Fruit of Life, right?"    

Although his words seemed doubtful, his tone was filled with certainty. Furthermore, his state of mind that had just recovered was once again fluctuating continuously.    

One must know that even ordinary divine herbs like the Dragon, undying Flower, etc. Then, what kind of degree would the fruit of life, which could be considered as a living corpse, and the flesh and bones, reach?    

At least, there was no need to worry about the injuries on Sun Bing's body anymore!
