Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 5640: Dao Merge (4)

“Not right!” Jian Wushuang shook his head, suddenly looking towards that space, exclaiming, “This isn’t a crack!”

Nine enormous cracks, along with numerous small ones, contained white lines of varying sizes within them.

That was the appearance of the temporal river.

At this moment, Jian Wushuang understood.

His was a condensed space, depicting the Starry Sky.

The sword strike just now, coincidentally hit the mark, and now the space was undergoing tremendous changes.

The originally three-dimensional space had transformed into an illustrated record, a chronicle.

Within the chronicle, space evolved into an endless expanse of stars!

Pitch black!

Before Jian Wushuang’s eyes was a vast expanse of darkness; he could only see a small dot, which was his Spaital Origin Source.

Inside it were five thousand black holes and a cosmic secret realm.

As for the cracks, they were reflected in the Starry Sky.

The space he had condensed had illuminated the stars.

“I did it!”

Jian Wushuang exclaimed in disbelief, “I did it!”

Hum!

He clenched his fists, and suddenly, his aura burst forth, his strength instantly reaching unprecedented levels.

That power filled him with confidence.

The power of the Starry Stars was almost infinite.

The power of Life was a thousand times more profound than before.

At this moment, Jian Wushuang’s strength was almost boundless.

Because he could mobilize the power of an entire Starry Sky.

After the joy, Jian Wushuang began to examine the Origin Space within his body.

Or one could say, the Origin Source of the Starry Sky.

Upon entering, it was the space he had personally condensed, a semi-finished universe.

Surrounded by darkness, he could only see clear cracks around him.

In other regions, illumination required continuous empowerment on his part.

At present, he couldn’t even light up a single universe.

He wondered when he would be able to illuminate an entire Starry Sky or, perhaps, ignite a small temporal river.

The temporal river he saw now was a dark golden color, containing the power of spacetime but lacking a universe within.

His incomplete universe was inconspicuous.

“It’s time to leave!”

Swish!

Jian Wushuang’s Origin Source avatar remained in the Origin Source Starry Sky, while his main body returned to his physical form.

Dao Merge was a complete success.

Henceforth, he became the Emperor.

And his title needed a change; no longer the Invincible Dao Lord, but the Invincible Emperor.

Jian Wushuang, in his current state, was so formidable that even he didn’t know the extent of his strength.

“Phew!”

A breath of relief escaped him, and Jian Wushuang finally welcomed a long-lost ease.

He could finally take a breather.

Time constantly urged him to grow stronger, and now he had reached the level of an Emperor.

The most challenging part, Dao Merge, was successfully accomplished.

Only the opportunity of the Tribulation Realm remained.

Having just broken through to the Emperor level, his Origin Realm directly soared to the cosmic level.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to condense an incomplete universe.

Space and universe, a grand mastery.

The pinnacle secret art, Starry Sky!

It was now perfected.

All that remained was the fulfillment of space and mastery over time.

During his Dao Lord days, even though he hadn’t gained recognition from the Time Origin Source, he could still manipulate a trace of time when using the Starry Sky Chronicles.

He believed that it wouldn’t be long before he gained acknowledgment from the Time Origin Source.

However, the prerequisite was to perfect his understanding of space.

A perfected space was, essentially, a universe.

For an ordinary Emperor, 3,600 black holes were enough to form a universe.

With 1,000 black holes, one could already reach the cosmic level.

But Jian Wushuang’s spatial universe probably required tens of thousands, if not more, black holes.

Now that he had just broken through, there was no rush.

The Tribulation Realm was not so easily traversed.

The merging of the Dao served as a watershed in the process of becoming a Tribulation realm.

Both paths presented similar difficulties.

However, the difficulty of each opportunity to become a Tribulation realm was the same.

This was different from the merging of the Dao.

At present, there were still many areas that needed improvement, and there was no need to be in such a hurry.

His divine body and the Origin Source of Space both needed enhancement.

And the Temporal Treasure, he could now observe more of it.

Once, he could only observe some pawns.

Now, he could finally observe the pieces with the rank of a general.

Swish!

Before Jian Wushuang’s eyes, a grand chessboard suddenly appeared.

There were many pawn pieces on the top, but there were only 360 pieces with the rank of general.

The pieces with the rank of a king numbered only 72.

The pieces with the rank of a god numbered only 9.

There was strength disparity.

The first True King, in the beginning, was only a general.

Yet the first True King could be a strongman of the Five Tribulation realm.

The pieces with the rank of a king above were probably formed from the condensation of the origin source of the Six Tribulation realm at their weakest.

“Where did these pieces come from?” Jian Wushuang was somewhat curious.

Pointing a finger, he tried to peer into the pieces with the rank of a general.

However, a tremendous force of suction made Jian Wushuang’s breath enter the chessboard.

Above the empty chessboard, a vortex suddenly condensed.

Jian Wushuang’s breath also turned into an essence and finally settled in the pawn pieces.

This time, he completely understood.

This was how these pieces came into being.

But if that was the case, wouldn’t the first owner suffer a great loss?

At that time, there probably wouldn’t be any pieces on the chessboard!

This was the super treasure left by Teacher Xuan Yi. Naturally, he invested more thought and had many doubts.

Now that he had become an Emperor, he could manipulate it in front of him, continuously exploring.

It could also be considered a relaxation after merging the Dao!

After continuous exploration, especially after studying the chess manual of the First True King, he finally understood the manipulation of this treasure.

“Rise!” Jian Wushuang pointed a finger, carefully controlling a pawn-ranked chess piece.

After the chess piece made a difficult move, the internal Origin Source surged out, transforming into a figure wearing a straw cloak and bamboo hat.

The aura emanating from it was at least at the peak of the supreme-peak.

Much stronger than the Eight-Armed Beast Emperor he faced before.

“Master!” The figure in the straw cloak respectfully greeted.

Jian Wushuang nodded, reasonably satisfied.

Next, he continued to enlighten and revive those pawn-ranked chess pieces.

According to the chess manual of the First True King, possessing Tribulation Realm strength allowed the activation of pawn-ranked chess pieces.

When the First True King was in his peak at the supreme-peak, he could summon more than a dozen chess pieces.

Among them, the most powerful chess piece could rival the First True King when he was still an Emperor.

Enlightening and reviving were also straightforward, merely manipulating the power of the chessboard.

Of course, one crucial point was challenging for others.

That was the power of Life, which happened to be the simplest for Jian Wushuang.

His current power of Life was more than enough to enlighten those pawn-ranked pieces, but manipulating the power of the chessboard was still somewhat weak.

He couldn’t even control the pawn-ranked pieces as he wished.

Continuous experimentation was needed.

No need to rush; he could place them in the Origin Source of the Starry Sky and let his avatars explore gradually!

As for himself, he began the cultivation of the divine body.

The sixth layer of the divine body.

Based on a foundation of 50,000-fold, he began to elevate.

The numerous divine body treasures he obtained earlier were all used up at this moment.
