Chapter 958 : Word-Cutting Demon

The Eastern Barrens Blood Spring, also known as the Boundless Blood Sea.

This boundless sea of blood lies deep beneath the Endless Eastern Barrens, a forbidden land for all living beings and 1 of the most terrifying places in the Violet Realm.

This Blood Spring is said to be a crucial conduit for the circulation of sinister energies between heaven and earth—a convergence point where the world's stagnant miasma and foul energies accumulate. Within its depths, malevolent specters and wraiths frequently spawn, and on rare occasions, when a great demon takes form, it brings calamity to the mortal realm.

For hundreds of thousands of years, there once existed in the Violet Realm a peerless Dao Lord known as the Compassionate Voyager. With cultivation that touched the boundaries of creation itself, he sought to purify the Blood Spring and ascend through accumulated merit.

At that time, the Compassionate Voyager took dominion over the Eastern Barrens Bloodspring, vowing a great oath that he would never attain immortality until the day the bloodspring was purified. Empowered by the will of heaven and earth, he obtained a Dao fruit approaching the realm of immortality.

Thereafter, the Daoist of Compassionate Voyage devoted day and night to wielding supreme divine power, striving to completely refine the karmic obstructions within the Blood Spring and purify it to a state of utmost clarity and purity.

However, the Blood Spring was formed from the convergence of the world’s foul energy. As long as the Purple Realm existed and the chaotic thoughts of all living beings persisted, this foul energy would remain eternal. Purifying it completely was nearly impossible.

The Daoist of Compassionate Salvation had sat in meditation for tens of thousands of years, seeking to purify the Blood Spring with his supreme cultivation. Yet the filth of heaven and earth perpetually regenerated, ultimately making it impossible to completely cleanse the Blood Spring.

In the end, the Daoist of Compassionate Tide, having exhausted his lifelong cultivation, still fell short of success. As his lifespan neared its end, he descended into Qi Deviation, seeking to slaughter all living beings in the world to purify the very source of the world’s defilement.

Considering the glorious zenith of the Violet Realm at that time, how could a mere Daoist Cihang possibly defy the heavens?

Several immortal orthodoxies joined forces to suppress and slay him within this Eastern Wasteland Blood Spring.

Before her death, the Daoist Cihang’s lingering resentment fused into this Blood Spring, intensifying its foul energy to a terrifying degree and transforming it into the most dreadful source of corruption in the Violet Realm.

Today was different, however, for a young man had quietly stepped into the Endless Sea of Blood.

"Heh heh heh!"

The instant the youth stepped into the sea of blood, a strange laughter echoed through the void.

Amidst the boundless sea of blood, a figure coalesced from fresh blood strode through the void—it was actually the long-lost Blood Demon Ancestor.

In ancient times, the Compassionate Voyager adept attained profound mastery of creation, yet failed to comprehend that the filth qi of heaven and earth was but 1 aspect of the dual forces of yin and yang.

Just as in the vast cosmos, even in realms where the immortal path flourishes, the demonic way can never be wholly eradicated—it can only be suppressed, never completely purified. How could it ever be thoroughly cleansed?

"I have long since mended my ways and ceased harming all living beings under heaven. Why must you, young fellow cultivator, press so relentlessly?"

Ye Qingfeng stood quietly with his long sword in his arms, listening to the Blood Demon Elder's words. A trace of serenity flickered across his brows as he shook his head calmly.

Having followed Eldrin (Person Name) in cultivation for thousands of years, Ye Qingfeng had unwittingly attained the realm of a Pure Yang Dao Lord, far surpassing his former humble self.

"There is some merit to what you say, sir."

"Unfortunately, before this journey, Master had previously given this disciple some guidance."

Ye Qingfeng, however, offered a faint smile. His gaze rested calmly upon the Blood Demon Ancestor before him as he shook his head and said, "My master once said that although the dual energies of Yin and Yang coexist within heaven and earth, they bear no inherent distinction of good and evil."

However, the foul energy is a product of the postnatal realm. Though it belongs to the duality of Yin and Yang, it excels at clouding the human mind. 1 must return to the root and restore the source, reverting to the primal pure Yin energy—only then can the eternal cycle of heaven and earth be sustained.

The Blood Demon Patriarch’s expression twisted into a savage grimace as he snarled, “Does that brat Guixu truly refuse to spare this old man?”

"Wretched fiend!"

Ye Qingfeng’s eyes sharpened in an instant, and he finally roared in fury, "You have plagued the world for years. Today, this venerable 1 acts in my master’s stead to vanquish this demon and restore purity to the Violet Realm."

"You?"

The Blood Demon Patriarch let out a cold sneer. Within the overwhelming sea of blood, countless crimson shadows swirled, and to his astonishment, 1 Blood God Avatar after another soared into the sky.

9 full Blood Fiends at the Nascent Soul realm soared into the sky, encircling Ye Qingfeng completely.

The Blood Demon Ancestor seemed to hold victory within his grasp, letting out a cold sneer as he said, "If your master were to come in person, this old man would naturally turn and leave without hesitation."

"You are but a mere junior, how dare you act so insolently before me?"

"Today, this Patriarch shall capture you and see if that whelp of the Returning Abyss dares act so insolent again!"

As the Blood Demon Patriarch's voice fell, 9 Blood God Avatars soared into the sky, poised to capture Ye Qingfeng.

Yet Ye Qingfeng remained unmoved, cradling a single sheet of blank paper in his hands as he gently offered it in ritual sacrifice.

"Master, I beseech your intervention!"

"Bzzz—"

It was only then that Patriarch Blood Demon realized a single, massive character was written upon the white paper — "Slay!"

A single sheet of paper, bearing but 1 character, yet it harbored an astonishingly overwhelming sword intent. Before even being unleashed, its towering sword aura had already congealed the void, freezing all creation in its place.

It turned out that Eldrin had infused a trace of his own sword intent into this very stroke of the character.

This sword intent possessed fully 50 percent of the power from Eldrin's (Person Name) full-strength strike. While it dared not claim to sever all celestial and demonic beings across the 9 heavens with a single character, it nonetheless wielded a force beyond any mortal power to withstand.

The only flaw was that mere paper could hardly contain such peerless sword intent; within a 100 days, the sword intent within would completely dissipate, rendering it unfit to serve as a foundational heritage for the clan.

But even so, beheading a single Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) would be more than enough!

Clang—

But the sword's cry tore through heaven and earth as a dazzling sword radiance bloomed forth.

In that instant, the Blood Demon Ancestor felt a tremor in his heart, an inexplicable sense of deadly danger surging within him.

But alas, it was already too late for him to flee. The sword intent capable of slaying immortals and vanquishing gods suppressed all existence. Before the Blood Demon Ancestor could even form a second thought, his primordial spirit was extinguished by a single stroke of the blade.

This sword strike annihilated all, completely obliterating the Blood Demon Patriarch and his 9 Blood God Avatars, leaving not even a wisp of remnant soul to escape with life.

To his dying breath, the Blood Demon Ancestor, a supreme existence at the 9th-level of the Nascent Soul, did not utter a single scream.

A prodigy of the demonic path, the foremost Great Demon of the Violet Realm in 30 1000 years, yet he could not withstand a single wisp of sword intent from Eldrin (Person Name).

From beginning to end, Eldrin (Person Name) never appeared in person, merely having Ye Qingfeng deliver a blank sheet of paper.

"Master’s power is supreme—I fear even those immortals who have weathered the Lightning Tribulation would be nearly his equal."

Witnessing the demise of Blood Demon Ancestor, Ye Qingfeng couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

He strode deeper into the sea of blood when, as if touched by divine inspiration, his mind suddenly cleared. Rising to his feet, he swore a solemn oath to heaven and earth, declaring:

"Heaven and Earth bear witness, I, Ye Qingfeng, vow to swear the Oath of Reincarnation."

"I vow to dedicate my entire life's power to purify the Bloodspring's defilement for the Violet Realm. Until the day the Bloodspring's corruption is cleansed from this realm, I shall never ascend to immortality."

Until the Blood Spring runs clear as water, shall the Great Path to Immortality be attained!

"Boom—"

Ye Qingfeng’s voice faded, and from the 9 Heavens Above (Time & Distance), the will of heaven and earth cast its gaze from the unseen void.

After a moment of profound silence, a torrent of virtuous radiance descended from the highest heavens, completely enveloping Ye Qingfeng.

Ye Qingfeng closed his eyes, sensing the power of the virtuous radiance. In that fleeting moment, his eyelids shut, only to reopen gently moments later with serene clarity.

"Many thanks for your guidance, Master. This disciple understands!"

Just moments ago, Ye Qingfeng had been suddenly struck by divine inspiration, comprehending the location of his own serendipity.
