Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 97 Darkness Appears Again

In the hall, the five people sat opposite each other, but no one took the seat of honor.

Yu Heng was supposed to take that seat, but he had Mu Tianyang as his master, so he couldn’t take that. Mu Tianyang and his Master Devil, Xuan Tianzong, couldn’t take that seat either.

In the end, no one took the seat of honor.

“Tianyang, tell us what happened after you came to the Primordial World!” Xuan Tianzong took a sip of tea and looked at Mu Tianyang.

“Since I came to the Primordial World…” The person Mu Tianyang respected the most in his heart was the Master Devil, Xuan Tianzong. After hearing his words, he naturally told everyone what happened after he had come to the Primordial World in detail.

After Mu Tianyang came to the Primordial World, the first place he reached was the Yu Region.

The moment he came here, he had the same experience as Ding Hao. He felt that his strength had been suppressed, and even his cultivation was slowly declining.

After discovering this situation, he temporarily found a town to live in for the time being to understand the rules of the Primordial World and restore his strength as soon as possible. Meanwhile, he secretly inquired about the Heart of Heaven and Earth.

When he inquired about the Heart of Heaven and Earth, he also learned that he was in the Yu Region, one of the nine major regions, and the overlord in this place was Yu Deru, the patriarch of the Yu Tribe.

Mu Tianyang knew that if he wanted to find the Heart of Heaven and Earth, he had to rely on these aboriginals, so he left the town directly and rushed to the imperial city of the Yu Tribe.

After arriving at the imperial city, he could not force his way into the imperial palace to see the patriarch of the Yu Tribe due to various restrictions. Therefore, for a long time, he only stayed in an inn and did not become an alien minister of the Yu Tribe.

Later, when he inquired about the news, he had a conflict with some soldiers in the imperial city. As a result, those soldiers were defeated and each of them was beaten black and blue. Mu Tianyang did not want to make a big deal out of it and cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, what he wanted was to become an alien minister of the Yu Tribe and use their power to find the Heart of Heaven and Earth. If he killed these soldiers in the imperial city, he would be wanted before he got to become an alien minister.

Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, Mu Tianyang generously let go of these soldiers whom he thought deserved greater punishments than death.

However, although he thought so, the soldiers who were taught a lesson by him did not think so. It did not take long for them to form cliques and call friends over to teach Mu Tianyang a lesson. However, in the end, these people were all taught a hard lesson.

It was also because of that attack that Mu Tianyang successfully caught the eye of an alien minister of the Crown Prince’s Mansion of the Yu Tribe.

When he saw that Mu Tianyang was powerful, he approached the latter and intended to recruit him into the Crown Prince’s Mansion and introduce him to Yu Heng, who was still the Crown Prince of the tribe back then.

Although Yu Heng was not the patriarch of the Yu Tribe, he was the Crown Prince, who had power, so Mu Tianyang agreed.

In the following days, Mu Tianyang gradually adapted to the rules of the Primordial World and restored his cultivation. At the same time, he gradually made a name for himself among the many alien ministers in the Crown Prince’s Mansion. With his powerful cultivation, he really became a trusted subordinate of Yu Heng, the Crown Prince at that time.

Later, when the dark forces suddenly attacked, Yu Deru, the patriarch of the Yu Tribe, was unfortunately ambushed in a battle. Although Mu Tianyang managed to turn the tide at the critical moment and broke through the siege with Yu Deru, at that time, Yu Deru was seriously injured and infected by the dark power. He could not resist the dark power at all. In order not to become a dark creature, Yu Deru cut off his own meridians and killed himself.

A great talent of a generation had perished just like that.

However, before he died, he also left his last words. He passed on the position of patriarch to Yu Heng, the Crown Prince, and appointed Mu Tianyang as the master of the Crown Prince. As the Regent, Mu Tianyang got to supervise the whole tribe, and all the tribesmen must follow his orders to fight against the dark forces together.

In this way, Yu Heng ascended the throne and became the new patriarch of the Yu Tribe. Mu Tianyang also became the Regent who ruled more than 10,000 people. Even Yu Heng, who was already the patriarch, had to respectfully call him master when he saw him and did not dare to slight him at all.

Mu Tianyang did not let Yu Heng down. In the following battles, he successfully led the soldiers of the Yu Tribe to gain one victory after another, and his achievements were even greater than that of Yu Deru when he was young.

It was also because of these great victories that Mu Tianyang’s status in the Yu Tribe grew stronger and stronger. All the people in the Yu Tribe worshipped Mu Tianyang as a god.

These experiences were not so surprising to Ding Hao, but what Mu Tianyang said later made the eyes of Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong light up.

After he gave a brief introduction about what had happened, he continued, “Some time ago, after I led the army to defeat the dark army, I took the army back to the imperial city. On the way, I saw a strange place, which was a canyon full of red fog.

“I heard from a sergeant that it was a very strange place. People who entered there would disappear and there would be no trace of them from then on. For safety’s sake, the army would naturally bypass there when passing by.

“Originally, I was also ready to leave, but at that moment, I suddenly found a kind of power there that made my heart palpitate. At the same time, I vaguely felt that something seemed to be summoning me. Such signs let me know that there must be some treasure inside, so I asked the army to go back first before I entered there alone. In that place, I seemed to have entered some illusions where the scenes kept alternating!

“Those illusions could make people degenerate. I guarded the Spiritual Terrace tightly, finally broke through the illusions, and entered another scene. It was a red world, but the most important thing was that there was a huge beating heart.”

“It’s the heart!” Ding Hao and Xuan Tianzong vaguely guessed something.

Mu Tianyang nodded and said, “You’re right. It was the Heart of Heaven and Earth, but there was only a quarter of it left. When I touched it, it turned into a red light and entered my body. Finally, I refined it directly in that place.”

In this way, Mu Tianyang also got a quarter of the Heart of Heaven and Earth.

The complete whereabouts of the Heart of Heaven and Earth had finally been revealed.

The parts were in Mu Tianyang, Xuan Tianzong, and Ding Tong, who had obtained half of the heart.

“After refining this quarter of the Heart of Heaven and Earth, my strength increased greatly, and I directly broke through to the peak of the Eternal Realm. Then, I searched around nearby, but I didn’t find any other part, so I could only return to the imperial city. According to my original plan, I wanted to send some people to look for the Heart of Heaven and Earth in the Yu Region, but soon after I returned to the imperial city, the dark army attacked again!”

Mu Tianyang looked calm. It seemed that he was telling a story instead of talking about his own experience. “I led the army to fight with this wave of the dark army. Because my strength increased greatly, they were no match for me at all. But when I was about to kill the leader of the dark army, a figure appeared, and this person was Ding Tong!”

“Ding Tong was also here!” Hearing this, Evil Moon jumped ten meters high, rushed to Mu Tianyang, and asked, “Did you teach him a good lesson, such as beating him up hard, or…”

Mu Tianyang directly ignored Evil Moon and said slowly, “After fighting with Ding Tong, I found that there was a strange aura on him. Later, I learned that he had half of the Heart of Heaven and Earth in his body. This time, he came to seize the part of it in my body…”

Next, Mu Tianyang described in detail what had happened in the battle.

After listening to Mu Tianyang, Ding Hao and the others knew that the reason why the Yu Tribe was able to hold on until now and hadn’t fallen even though Ding Tong took action was that Mu Tianyang was there. And because of a quarter of the Heart of Heaven and Earth in Mu Tianyang’s body, he was not defeated by Ding Tong and he had held on until now.

After thinking for a while, Ding Hao said, “Since Ding Tong chased you here and wanted to take the other parts of the Heart of Heaven and Earth, it’s our best chance. With Ding Tong’s character, if he knows that you have the remaining half, he will definitely come and take it. Then, it’ll be the time for us to finish him off…”

Xuan Tianzong nodded and said, “It’s very likely. He hasn’t obtained Tianyang’s part of the Heart of Heaven and Earth yet. He will definitely come at Tianyang first…”

“That is to say, the next time the dark army comes, Ding Tong is very likely to appear…” Xing Mo said in a somewhat fearful tone, with a trace of complexity in his eyes.

Ding Tong was an elusive person with an extremely cruel character. It could be said that Xing Mo was extremely afraid of him. If Ding Hao and the others had not been here, he would not have had the confidence to face Ding Tong head-on.

“Report!”

Right at this moment, a voice sounded from outside.

“Get in!” Yu Heng seemed to have realized something, and his expression instantly became slightly darkened when he heard this voice.

A figure suddenly appeared in the hall and half-knelt in front of Yu Heng. His tone was hurried as he said, “Your Majesty, the dark army has begun to take action. I’m afraid they’re attacking again!”

Yu Heng’s pupils constricted, and he immediately asked. “Where are they now?”

“Your Majesty, the dark army is currently tens of kilometers away. They are currently advancing toward this place. I’m afraid it won’t be long before they arrive!” that man replied.

“Tell all the soldiers in the city to activate the city’s tactical deployments and set up the crossbows. Get ready to fight!” Yu Heng ordered in a vigorous manner.

The man nodded, turned into a wisp of black smoke, and disappeared.

“Master, grandmaster, the dark army is attacking again. We should make some preparations…” After giving instructions, Yu Heng turn to look at Mu Tianyang and Xuan Tianzong.

“Well, let’s go!” Mu Tianyang and Xuan Tianzong nodded at the same time. After looking at each other, they disappeared from the palace.

In the next moment, they appeared at the entrance of the imperial city.

“Meow. There are so many of them this time, enough for me to kill.” As soon as Evil Moon and the others appeared, it looked ahead, and its pupils suddenly shrank slightly.

Looking into the distance, they saw a dark expanse. There were countless dark creatures, their footsteps orderly, powerful, and imposing as they marched over.

The momentum was extremely shocking.
