Swordmaster
Swordmaster is a palace master of the Great Void Heaven Temple and a cultivator from the same home cosmos as Dong Bo Xue Ying. His hidden reincarnation in the Realm Heart Great Land lets him advance from a senior defender of the temple to a final-realm Cosmos God whose sword can overwhelm other final-realm experts. Together with Xue Ying, he prevents Emperor Jun from destroying their Origin World and drives Sacred Master into the Lost World Corridor. Most supplied Chapters 809–1099 are fragmentary, so his early temple career and Realm Heart experiences survive chiefly through short openings and later explanations.
Biography
Palace master and hidden reincarnator
Swordmaster first appears as one of the Great Void Heaven Temple's two highest palace masters. He leaves seclusion to assess Xue Ying, feels partial toward a junior from his home cosmos, and joins the welcoming gathering rather than maintaining ceremonial distance. His rapid cultivation puzzles other experts; Luo City Lord conjectures that a Realm Heart Order explains it, but at that stage the claim remains an informed guess rather than public knowledge. (Chapters 809–810 and 972; the supplied texts are fragmentary)
Later, Swordmaster confirms that he acquired a Realm Heart Order while still at the Primal Chaos realm and used an avatar to reincarnate into the Realm Heart Great Land. There he joins the Cang Clan, earns a Realm Heart God Palace opportunity, and receives a supreme secret impartation. The second cultivation environment explains why apparent closed-door training in his homeland produces unusually fast progress: his other life is undergoing the tempering absent from the public record. (Chapters 1184–1185)
Temple catastrophe and final-realm defense
When Sacred Master attacks the Great Void Heaven Temple for the Destructive Realm Teleportation technique, Swordmaster and Forefather Tian Yu refuse the demand and evacuate many survivors to the Eastern Unicorn Sacred World. They cannot prevent heavy losses, including captured disciples and more than thirty percent of the temple's core members, but their refusal keeps the inheritance from Sacred Master and preserves the institution needed for later resistance. (Chapters 1103–1104)
Swordmaster's final-realm breakthrough changes that defensive balance. He intervenes when Emperor Jun begins destroying the Myriad Ancient Sacred World, sending sword strikes that the new final-realm Destruction Devil cannot sense or block before impact. Xue Ying's large domain then supplies the tracking Swordmaster lacks, allowing his avatars to pursue Emperor Jun into retreat and repeat the method against Sacred Master. Their complementary abilities save the era, free Sacred Master's believers, and leave both enemies confined to the Lost World Corridor. (Chapters 1181–1187)
Broken Teeth expedition
In the Broken Teeth Mountain Range, Swordmaster travels with Xue Ying and Insect Ancestor Ba Tuo Chen. His final-realm Dao of Destruction gives him a sharp aura and, with a supreme secret impartation plus an appropriate peak-grade treasure, enough force to contend with a Grand Elder at the initial Emperor level. The expedition makes him useful against opponents beyond ordinary Cosmos Gods, but also demonstrates that final-realm cultivation does not make him dominant in the range. (Chapters 1205, 1216, and 1227)
He loses an avatar and his powerful Dao of Destruction treasure during that campaign. Without the treasure's amplification, he no longer considers direct resistance on a sky-floating island reliable, and against a stronger Emperor he survives only because Xue Ying's illusory realm weakens the opponent. By Chapter 1270, Xue Ying assesses his own maintained strength as only slightly above Swordmaster's and still insufficient to erase Sacred Master, keeping Swordmaster at an unparalleled combat level rather than Chaotic Origin. (Chapters 1216, 1227, and 1270)
Latest evidence
After Xue Ying becomes the master of their Origin World, Swordmaster is caught silently in the world-spanning illusion used during the breakthrough. He can barely resist when Xue Ying has previously demonstrated soul techniques, but this time only realizes what happened after waking and infers that Xue Ying has grown again. Chapter 1384 leaves Swordmaster alive, still a final-realm Cosmos God, and now decisively below Xue Ying's World Realm Chaotic Origin level. (Chapter 1384)
Appearance and personality
Swordmaster is described as a white-haired man. His cultivated aura becomes sharp after he pushes the Dao of Destruction to the final realm, matching the concentrated character of his sword path. The local text provides no fuller description of his build, clothing, age, or facial features, so those details remain unspecified. (Chapters 810 and 1205)
He is warm toward capable juniors from his home cosmos, but disciplined enough to keep his Realm Heart life secret while it protects his progress. In crisis he accepts institutional responsibility: he refuses Sacred Master's coercion, helps evacuate the temple, and later risks his avatars against final-realm enemies. His response to Xue Ying's support is collaborative rather than competitive; he readily combines sword offense with Xue Ying's domain and agrees to turn immediately from Emperor Jun to freeing Sacred Master's believers. (Chapters 810, 1103–1104, and 1184–1186)
Abilities and cultivation
Swordmaster cultivates the Dao of Destruction to the final realm after long accumulation in two Origin Worlds. His supreme secret impartation lets each sword strike hide its true power until it has already penetrated the target, producing repeatable attacks comparable to Sacred Master's one-use, fully ignited Ancient Sacred Incarnation strike. This is overwhelming offense rather than universal superiority: his path does not naturally supply an Origin World-wide domain, and final-realm enemies can still escape after surviving the damage. (Chapters 1181–1185)
Sword offense and avatars
His representative sword light deceives ordinary perception about its location and timing. Emperor Jun sees an approaching arc only after the actual attack has passed through him, while Sacred Master concludes that he likewise cannot dodge repeated blows. Swordmaster can act with two bodies during pursuit, doubling the rate at which he consumes Sacred Master's life force; this pressure reduces Sacred Master to roughly thirty percent before the target reaches the Lost World Corridor. (Chapters 1182 and 1186)
The avatar capability originates from his reincarnation plan: he first refines an additional avatar, sends it through the Realm Heart Order, and later maintains more than one combat-capable body. Avatars remain expendable rather than costless, as the Broken Teeth campaign destroys one. The corpus does not specify his replacement time, maximum avatar count, or whether all bodies retain equal strength after that loss. (Chapters 1184 and 1216)
Domain, treasures, and limits
Swordmaster can extend a Destruction Domain across a sacred world, enough to guard the Eastern Unicorn Sacred World against Emperor Jun's sudden appearance. It cannot cover the entire Primal Chaos Void or reliably locate a final-realm expert who hides his aura. Xue Ying's Chaotic Origin Ocean and teleportation are therefore essential to pursuit, while the Lost World Corridor's turbulence ends their search entirely. (Chapters 1183–1186)
His unparalleled-level performance in the Broken Teeth Mountain Range depends on the interaction between final-realm comprehension, a supreme secret impartation, and a matching peak-grade Dao of Destruction treasure. Losing the treasure reduces his confidence and effective ceiling, while stronger Emperor opponents remain dangerous even when weakened by Xue Ying. His latest demonstrated limitation is soul defense: he once barely resists Xue Ying's known techniques but cannot perceive the later Origin World-wide illusion before it takes effect. (Chapters 1216–1227 and 1384)

Relationships
- Dong Bo Xue Ying: Swordmaster first welcomes him as a junior from the same cosmos, later reveals their parallel Realm Heart paths, and becomes his principal combat partner. Swordmaster supplies decisive offense while Xue Ying supplies domain, movement, and soul control; by Chapter 1384, Xue Ying has advanced beyond him. (Chapters 810, 1183–1187, 1205–1227, and 1384)
- Sacred Master: Sacred Master attacks Swordmaster's temple and reacts violently to his advancement. Once Swordmaster reaches the final realm, his sword can repeatedly injure Sacred Master and force him into hiding, though it cannot finish him inside the Lost World Corridor. (Chapters 1103–1104 and 1182–1188)
- Forefather Tian Yu: His fellow palace master and institutional partner. They refuse Sacred Master's demand, preserve survivors of the temple catastrophe, and lead a holy ground that eventually contains two final-realm cultivators. (Chapters 809, 1103–1104, and 1188)
- Ancestor Sorcerer and Blade Emperor: Senior allies in the Primal Chaos Void. Before Swordmaster's breakthrough their control and protection help resist Sacred Master; afterward, Swordmaster's offense becomes the coalition's decisive striking force. (Chapters 970–971, 1110–1111, and 1181–1188)
- Insect Ancestor Ba Tuo Chen: A fellow member of Xue Ying's Broken Teeth expedition. Both carry final-realm or equivalent threat, but the surviving evidence emphasizes their shared danger and losses rather than a personal bond. (Chapters 1205–1227)
Items
- Realm Heart Order: Swordmaster acquires the Order at the Primal Chaos realm and uses an avatar to reincarnate into the Realm Heart Great Land. The cross-world life supplies the experience and inheritances behind his otherwise mysterious rise. (Chapters 972 and 1184)
- Dao of Destruction secret treasure: A powerful peak-grade treasure that interacts with his supreme secret impartation to produce unparalleled-level combat strength. Its loss with an avatar in the Broken Teeth Mountain Range sharply reduces his willingness to continue gambling on sky-floating islands. (Chapters 1216 and 1227)
- Sword: His direct combat focus and the medium for his concealed final-realm destruction strikes. The supplied corpus describes the sword light's effects but does not preserve a proper name, provenance, construction, or separate limitation for the blade itself. (Chapters 1111 and 1181–1186)
