“`

“Xuanyuan?”

“Humph!”

Looking at the person before him, although knowing he was not to be underestimated, Blood Demon coldly snorted to maintain the facade and tested, “I hadn’t expected you to have such a move up your sleeve, but if this is all you have, thinking it enough to stop me is vastly underestimating the power of the Map of the Blood Sea!”

Though his words were forced, they were not without merit.

The Nether River Blood Sea, myriad forms of existence!

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

As an ultimate Demon Artifact, this Map of the Blood Sea, even within the Heavenly Demon Desire Realm, was considered a treasure. Not to mention ordinary Demon Cultivators, even Demon Gods who stood equal to Immortals and Buddhas might not possess it.

By contrast, the origins of his opponent, though unknown, revealed some basis for his confidence. This person’s Cultivation was merely at the level of Divinity Transformation, and even though the size and might of the White Jade Immortal City was immense, at best it was a Superior Immortal Artifact, or perhaps it might not even qualify as one. How could it compare with his Map of the Blood Sea?

This encounter would at most end in a draw!

Though he could do nothing to these individuals, neither could they hope to destroy his Blood Sea.

On the contrary, this time he had broken through the blockade, and the Blood Sea Demon’s Path had swept across the world. Although he did not accomplish all his goals, he had made significant gains. Even if he retreated now, it would still be a win, and he could plot again in the future…

“You’re mistaken!”

His thoughts unsettled, his schemes incomplete, a light, decisive voice interrupted him.

“Hmm!?”

Blood Demon’s gaze turned sharp, filled with astonishment and doubt.

“It’s not to block, but to exterminate!”

The Cultivator spoke softly, his posture resolute and unquestionable, “Today will be the day the Demon Path of this world is completely annihilated, in both form and spirit!”

“Hmm!?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Blood Demon’s pupils contracted, rage filled his being, and he burst into a furious roar, “With your level of Cultivation, you dare to speak such madness. Try this blade first!”

With that, he lifted the Blood Transformation Devil Blade, slashing out as if the tail of the Red Scorpion swept forth.

“Swishhhh!”

As the blade came down, the boundless Blood Sea instantly boiled.

Crimson waves surged furiously, the sea of blood towering into the skies, following the momentum of the Demon Blade, it turned into a slash that words could hardly describe.

It was the epitome of sharpness, the epitome of bewitching evil; the glaring crimson light of the blade was surely vivid, yet when it slashed out, it became invisible, eluding capture—only Broken Void showed injury, with fresh blood leaving marks.

One slash, shattering the void, with an edge that couldn’t be resisted!

Moreover, with the Blood Sea and the Blood Demons filthy and toxic, it carried the most horrifying curses, intent on breaking into the opponent’s flesh, and crushing soul and Primordial Spirit!

Under such a blade, even a Divinity Transformation Venerable with extremely strong Spiritual Treasure protecting the body would meet their end right then and there.

However…

“Bang!!!”

The void trembled with an echoed clang.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The invisible blade light took form, entirely blocked by a splendid radiance.

Glorious light, golden in color, showing an ancient and dignified heaviness. Within it, one could vaguely see suns, moons, stars, plants, mountains, rivers; Talismans were flowing, thunderbolts startling, with every character scripted like a seal, and every scroll written like a doctrine.

This was… the manifestation of the Cultivator’s achievements!

The power of the Heavenly Sword, with Xuanyuan’s force, integrating Taoism and Divine Skills, Golden Light Spell, had become an ultimate defense embodying Unity of Heaven and Man.

Even with the seas of blood and the full strength of the Demon Blade, they could not break through this splendid radiance, let alone touch the Cultivator.

The Demon Blade’s slash not only failed but also recoiled with intense impact. The no longer invisible and thin-as-a-line blade light shattered and dispersed, with the surging waves of the Blood Sea rolling back tumultuously.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

One step after another, then another step.

The remnants of the Ancient Immortals, the Blood Demon’s physical body, were forced back step by step, causing the void to crumble and the blood to vanish.

“Bang!!!”

Finally, with a loud noise, Blood Demon halted, yet the Demon Blade in his hand, along with the Crimson Scorpion, exploded into fragments.

The counterforce was terrifying, wasn’t it?

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“`

The Blood Demon’s face was filled with shock, his heart tossed by surging waves even more tumultuous than the ocean of blood.

How could this be possible?

How could this be possible!

Not only failing to break the defense but even having his Demon Blade shattered in return?

Just a Divinity Transformation, just an Immortal Artifact, how could they possess such capability?

Did he miscalculate, or was this person hiding his true strength?

Doubt, confusion, and even more so, shock.

In contrast, the cultivator’s demeanor remained calm, facing the Blood Demon and saying with a raised hand, “Against thee, I shall only strike one sword blow!”

Between the words, his right hand lifted, and within the palm, a brilliant light suddenly emerged.

Sword light dazzling, sword intention stern.

Connecting heaven and earth, unifying man and sword.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

In an instant, heaven and earth shook, the sea of blood churned, and sword qi naturally arose from all directions.

In the sky above, wind and clouds formed swords, thunderbolts formed swords, the scorching sun formed swords!

On the earth below, mountains and rivers formed swords, nature itself formed swords!

In the hearts of people, souls turned into swords, incense turned into swords, thoughts turned into swords!

Sword qi, sword qi, wherever one looked, there was stern sword qi.

In all directions of heaven and earth, the sword qi flowed mightily, hundreds of rivers entered the sea, and the boundless ocean of blood could not stop it.

The cultivator lifted with one hand, the brilliance in the palm dazzling, the edge stern as a divine sword appeared.

That sword was golden, its body two-sided, one side engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, the other depicting all flora and fauna, one side bearing the methods of agriculture and husbandry, the other endorsing the strategy of uniting all lands under heaven, its dazzling brilliance, and immense majesty making it truly the greatest holy weapon of Dao from ancient times to present.

Xuanyuan!

“Boom!!!”

As soon as the divine sword appeared, Xuanyuan was revealed, and the boundless sea of blood instantly roared in turmoil, the array of ten thousand illusions began to waver.

All due to the rise of the dazzling sword light, the ferocity of the sword’s force growing.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Ten zhang, a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang.

Not metaphorical, but actual lengths.

The brilliance of the divine sword soared like a mountain, rising thousands upon thousands of zhang straight into the clouds.

The sea of blood churned, the array wavered, broken through by the surging sword light layer by layer.

“…”

The Blood Demon stood in place, staring at the divine sword’s light column that soared sky-high, cleaving a line through the sea of blood, his mind as if struck by thunder.

…

Outside the sea of blood, amid the battlefield.

White jade immortal light, heavenly dew descending, the disciples of the Five Palaces who had their strength restored, and the members of the Twelve Tower all joined the battle ranks to clear the remaining demon spawns.

Just at this moment…

“Buzz!”

“Bang!!!”

With a buzzing sound, came a clang.

Qing was taken aback, stopping in her tracks, her gaze uncertain as she looked at the sword artifact she had picked up once more in her hand.

The sword artifact in her hand was buzzing and ringing.

Buzzing, vibrating, not in resistance or struggle, but expressing an indescribable joy and excitement.

Not just her, everyone nearby, and even the fallen soldiers on the ground, all resonated with the same buzzing, the same echoing sounds.

“Hmm!?”

In the void, Meng Fuyao’s gaze intensified as he looked down to see the celestial sword in his hand humming and ringing resonantly.

A rush of indescribable excitement burst forth, flooding his heart and making his blood surge.

As a Corpse Resolution Cultivator, his Sword Artifact was his own body; therefore, compared to others, his perception was much more direct.

What had happened?

Meng Fuyao didn’t know, but instinctively, he felt compelled to look back.

That glance,

“Boom!!!”

A massive sound echoed, shaking heaven and earth.

Within the boundless Blood Sea, inside the Sealing Array.

A ray of brilliance bloomed, a sharp edge emerged.

A divine sword suddenly grew larger, breaking through layers of formations, piercing the endless Blood Sea.

In the end, there was only one sword, resplendent and bright, like a pillar of heaven standing in the Blood Sea.

“This is…”

“The Heavenly Sword!!!”

Even though he was not versed in the Xuanyuan Divine Sword technique, this concept still surfaced in his mind.

The Heavenly Sword, this is the Heavenly Sword!

In the realm of Sword Dao, is there actually such a level?

There actually is such a level!

As a fellow Sword Cultivator, Meng Fuyao was so bewildered that he felt an urge to sob uncontrollably.

Having heard the Tao in the morning, one could die content in the evening!

…

“The Heavenly Sword!!!”

Inside the Blood Sea, within the formation.

The Blood Demon let out a shrill scream, his fear indescribable.

He wasn’t Meng Fuyao, but he knew the might of the Heavenly Sword even better.

Because at this moment, he was beneath the sword, facing the heavenly might directly!

The terror and panic were beyond words.

But after all, he was he, the Son of the Blood Sea, a true seed of the Demon’s Path.

In an instant, he came to his senses and, without any hesitation, the Blood Demon’s arms shot up as he raised his hands high and stirred up a massive wave of blood.

“Nether River Blood Sea, Myriad Images of Senluo!”

“Arise!!!”

With a furious roar, he gave it his all.

The boundless Blood Sea churned, revealing Myriad Images of Senluo.

There was the Heavenly Emperor God Monarch, majestic and stabilizing the air.

There was the Naga Dragon Snake, rising high and whirling its body, swallowing water and belching flames.

There was the Yasha Rakshasa, more ferocious than evil ghosts.

There was The Old Lady of Qian Da, with her surreal form and fleeting incense.

There was the Asura Demon God, extremely fierce and full of battle lust.

And there were the pure lands of the Buddhas, the evil ghosts of Hell, indulging in slaughter and debauchery, reveling in desires…

Myriad images, Myriad Images of Senluo!

All sorts of scenes arose from the Blood Sea, forming an array force that approached the Seventh-Order Boundary.

This was the Map of the Blood Sea.

This supreme Demon Artifact contained a grand Demon Array, ranking Eighth Order, capable of exterminating immortals and Buddhas.

Although the Blood Demon couldn’t activate this array now, by leveraging the power of Myriad Images of Senluo, he could push the Blood Sea Great Array from the Sixth Order close to the Seventh-Order Boundary.

A Seventh-Order Demon Array, let alone those in the Divinity Transformation and Return to Void phase, even Integration Great Powers and even Mahayana True Immortals wouldn’t dare to enter without some backing.

Even though it was only approaching, and not yet truly crossing that threshold, its array might could still make those in the Return to Void stage tremble in fear.

This was the Myriad Images of the Blood Sea!

“Roar roar roar!”

The Blood Sea was boundless, with Myriad Images of Senluo.

Whether it was the pure lands of the Buddhas or the evil ghosts of Hell, all were transformed into the Demon Realm, depicting a scene of degeneration.

Such was a picture of the ultimate bliss of the Demon’s Path.

“Boom!!!”

However, with one slash of the sky-high Heavenly Sword, the boundless Blood Sea was cleft in two.

Myriad Images of Senluo, the ultimate bliss of the Demon’s Path, all vanished in an instant.

“Boom Boom Boom!”

Outside the battlefield, before the crowd could react, they saw that connecting pillar of light collapsing and slashing, splitting the Blood Sea in two, and shattering the Demon’s Great Array.

As the array shattered, leftover forces caused a terrifying surge, engulfing the space in all directions.

People were terrified, unable to dodge in time.

Fortunately, above the nine heavens, the Immortal City shed its divine light, and the five colors of blue, yellow, red, white, and black appeared all at once, forming an array outside the array, sealing the heavens and the earth.

“Boom!!!”

With the final explosion, the thunderous sound of heaven and earth gradually fell into silence.

Within the stillness, the divine light faded, revealing the battlefield scene, where the surging Blood Sea was no more, leaving only a sword scar between the heavens and the earth, gaping across the ground.

A sword left its mark between heaven and earth.

The Blood Sea was gone, the Myriad Images vanished.

The Blood Demon was dead, and the Immortal corpse was also destroyed.

Such was the might of the Heavenly Sword, such was the power of “Xuanyuan”!

The combination of the Blood Sea and the Immortal corpse was formidable, and combined with the power of the Great Array, not to speak of Divinity Transformation, even those in the Return to Void would have met a bitter end.

However, it was unfortunate that it encountered Xuanyuan, the creation of the Heavenly Crafts Natural Creation, the only Immortal Artifact in the world of Dao and Law.

Surrounding this sword, the Wandao School initiated the “Immortal Spirit Mech Armor” plan, intending to create the ultimate force of the Scholar’s Palace.

Now that the project was complete, the Instrument of Immortal Spirit, the sacred weapon of the Dao, though only low-grade, with the art of Heavenly Crafts Natural Creation and the combination of myriad Magic Artifacts, its power and might were not inferior to even a middle-grade Immortal Artifact.

Of course, just this alone would not have been enough to shatter the Myriad Images and annihilate the Blood Sea.

But what if Xu Yang, the Swordmaster, was added to the mix?

Unifying man and sword, Heavenly Crafts Natural Creation.

Divine Skills and Skill Traits.

The combination of Xuanyuan and Xu Yang, the Swordmaster’s control over the Mech Armor, created an effect far greater than the simple sum of one plus one.

On the other hand, the Blood Demon, with his glaring deficiency in the Corpse Resolution technique, at this point, was no less than a lonely ghost or an Artifact Spirit monster.

Regardless of whether it’s a Demon Artifact or an Immortal Artifact, if it’s an instrument, it requires a person to wield it to exert its maximum power and achieve the effect of “one plus one is greater than two.”

As an Artifact Spirit, not only could he not coordinate with the Map of the Blood Sea to enhance the power of the Demon Artifact, but his own feebleness also diminished the Map’s strength.

The outcome was predictable.

If the combination of Xu Yang and Xuanyuan is “one plus one is greater than two,” then his and the Map of the Blood Sea’s was “one plus one is less than one.”

Defeat was inevitable, with no suspense to speak of.
