Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

```

Is this the Power of Judgment?

Just at this moment, Tang San reached behind with a backhanded grab. A shocking Sword Intent erupted instantly.

When that Sword Intent appeared, the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor could no longer sense Pretty Girl's aura; it was as though she had vanished into thin air. Behind Tang San, a burst of red light shot into the sky, and the special energy he had previously gathered surged toward the red glow like rivers flowing into the sea. On Tang San's forehead, a blood-red light shone brightly—a rune that was clearly in the shape of a little red sword.

This shade of red was not fierce, not bleak, not bloody. It was filled with a vast and majestic presence.

Tang San's right hand, which had snatched back, slowly drew upward, and the astounding red light behind him immediately converged toward the direction of his palm. In the next instant, a flash of red suddenly appeared, cleaving through the air as if connecting heaven and earth.

As this sword emerged, it seemed as though a special force between heaven and earth was being drawn in. That terrifying power descended in a flash, and the red sword beam almost immediately struck the Sword Mountain of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor.

"Hum—" Sword Mountain trembled.

The Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor's whole body shook violently, exploding with a blinding sword qi. The majestic Sword Mountain stood tall, directly confronting the strike.

"Boom—" The red sword beam erupted with indescribable brilliance, almost in an instant enveloping the entire Sword Mountain. Yet the Sword Mountain remained unshaken as if it hadn't sustained any damage.

The Sword Intent bursting from the Sword Mountain, however, was instantly shattered. And the red glow swept over the entire Sword Mountain as if it were unstoppable.

Instantly, the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor was enveloped in a layer of red. While astonished, he did not feel any harm. He only sensed an odd aura sweeping past his body. That was all. But the sword qi he had just released had vanished into nothingness. Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire

The red glow gradually receded, and Tang San's complexion turned somewhat pale. In his hands, unbeknownst to anyone, a blood-red longsword had appeared. But in the next moment, the longsword floated out of his grasp and settled beside him, transforming back into the form of Pretty Girl. That's right, he had just used Pretty Girl as the sword to execute this judgmental strike.

The Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor stood there, silent for a long time. Sword Mountain continued to tremble, constantly emitting a humming sound.

Tang San and Pretty Girl stood still, silently feeling the changes within themselves.

Especially Pretty Girl, who clearly felt that when Tang San used her as the sword for that strike, something seemed to have been imprinted inside her.

That mark significantly solidified the Asura God's Sword in her sea of divine consciousness.

After a long while, light returned to the eyes of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor.

"Is this the Sword of Judgment?" he asked in a deep voice.

Tang San nodded, "Exactly, this is the Sword of Judgment. Do you understand now?"

The Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor shook his head, "I understand a bit, yet I do not. You channeled the power of heaven and earth. My Sword Intent did not withstand your sword. The Righteous Energy of Heaven and Earth seems not to be blocked by bloodline energy. Or rather, it could only block part of it. What exactly did you use to cut me? Why didn't I feel any harm?"

Tang San smiled faintly, "If there is no guilt beneath the crown, why require judgment? With no faults of one's own, Asura will pass by oneself."

The Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor was stunned for a moment, pondering Tang San's words, and for a time, he seemed somewhat dazed.

Tang San said solemnly, "The Sword of Judgment is meant for the guilty. The innocent naturally need not be judged. Therefore, the greatest might of the Sword of Judgment is best displayed against those unforgivably wicked enemies."

"Judging from how the Sword of Judgment passed over you, you must have lived a life without major faults, so the impact on you was minimal. If you had any guilt, the outcome would not be as it is now."

While Tang San explained to the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor, Pretty Girl listened intently by the side.

Before coming here, Tang San had told her that today he would reveal to her the true essence of the Asura God's Sword and where the real might of the Asura God's Sword lies.

Tang San had just demonstrated to her how the real Asura God's Sword should be used.

Judgment should be reserved for those who are guilty.

"What kind of energy does the Sword of Judgment contain?" the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor asked.

Tang San said in a deep voice, "The Righteous Energy of Heaven and Earth!"

Upon hearing these four words, the eyes of the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor suddenly burst with brilliant light. At his level, what he needed was not arduous cultivation, but the enlightenment of self-awareness, the comprehension of the outside world, and the understanding of how to nurture his own sword.

When Tang San spoke the words "The Righteous Energy of Heaven and Earth," the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor immediately felt an epiphany. In an instant, he understood where the Sword of Judgment originated from and why it possessed such formidable power.

It wasn't merely an energy attack, nor was it an attack empowered by bloodline power, but a cleansing by the Righteous Energy of Heaven and Earth!

This baptism, this cleansing, washed away sin and judged the past. Those who were guilty would surely be judged by the Righteous Energy of Heaven and Earth and therefore suffer a great impact.

It was an unrivaled power, a type of judgment that could only be withstood using one's own strength.

The Sword of Judgment, so this was the Sword of Judgment. It was also the sword of the Righteous Energy of Heaven and Earth.

Pretty Girl was likewise savoring these four words, the Righteous Energy of Heaven and Earth.

Any sinner, when their sin leads to death, should be judged with the vast Righteous Energy of Heaven and Earth. This was the purpose of the Asura God's Sword's existence.

In the Divine Realm, as the Sword of Judgment, it judged the gods. No guilty being could escape its cleansing. Thus, it was also a divine tool that all gods in the entire Divine Realm feared.

Even though the Asura God's Sword now only had a thread of sword intent on Pretty Girl, the source of this judgment power remained the same. Therefore, it could invoke the Righteous Energy of Heaven and Earth just earlier. The summoning of this Righteous Energy of Heaven and Earth was something no existence in this plane could possess.

"I understand. Thank you for the guidance." The Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor's eyes gradually softened, yet shone with vitality. He bowed slightly to Tang San.

With the enlightenment of today, his cultivation base was bound to reach new heights, and his understanding of the sword had ascended to another level.

Tang San spoke again, "Your excellency, in this world, the strongest sword should be the King's Sword. The King's Sword, with its vast and surging strength, must embody the Sword Intent of Judgment."@@novelbin@@

The Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor nodded slightly, "I understand what you mean. To pursue the ultimate sword, one must also become ultimate, only through being flawlessly perfect, just, with an untainted heart and self, can one possess the Flawless Divine Sword."

Tang San said no more. Every individual had a different interpretation of their inner Godly Sword. What the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor had comprehended was the Flawless Sword. This was different from the Asura God's Asura God's Sword. However, the fact that he could extract something from the Sword Intent of Judgment of the Asura God's Sword to incorporate it into his own sword intent, without a doubt, would make him much stronger.

And from that moment on, the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor would surely not be an adversary, even if he could not become an ally.

"I wish the forebear stepping further from each new height!" Tang San, along with Pretty Girl, gave him a slight bow and then left without hesitation.

Watching them depart, the eyes of the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor grew more and more clear.

"Issue my decree, from this day forth, this Emperor will enter seclusion. The Sword Saint Mountain shall be closed off."

As Tang San and Pretty Girl descended the mountain, the voice of the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor echoed in their ears. The inspired Emperor was closing off to reach higher levels.

And Tang San and Pretty Girl had fulfilled all of their business in the Ancestral Court, it was time to leave.

Tang San held Pretty Girl's hand, his gaze looking towards the direction of the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain, as a touch of chill flashed by in an instant. The future of this plane could be described in eight words—accumulate thickness to unleash thinly, defensive to offensive!
