Chapter 494 100 Spirit Slaying Sword

However, as a True Lord himself, he naturally would not be intimidated by 3 Demonic Path True Lords. His expression darkened as he spoke, "By blocking my Zhang family's treasure ship, do the 3 of you intend to keep me here?"

"Hah—"

The Bloodbone Old Demon let out a cold sneer, his gaze icy as he declared, "Hand over the treasure ship and all the artifacts aboard, and we shall naturally let you depart."

"Then there is nothing to discuss."

Daoxuan the Enlightened Sage (Person Name) spoke these words, then waved his hand. Instantly, the defensive formation array loaded upon the treasure ship was activated.

1 after another, Golden Core cultivators manned the Demon-Hunting Crossbows and Demon-Slaying Cannons, all aiming at the few Demon Cultivation True Lords.

This treasure ship was equipped with 40-9 Demon-Hunting Ballistae, each of exceptional Tier 4 Upper Grade quality. Their power even rivaled a full-force strike from a Golden Core Great Perfection cultivator.

The Demon-Slaying Cannon was even more extraordinary in power. Its grade reached the lower tier of Rank 5, and at full strength, it could severely injure a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Unfortunately, the Demon-Slaying Cannons were exorbitantly expensive, so the treasure ship was equipped with only 3 of them—a number that still fell somewhat short.

The Demon-Slaying Cannon was difficult to lock onto Nascent Soul True Lords, making it more suitable for assaulting stationary spirit mountains and demon territories. For the 3 demons, it served merely as a deterrent.

Yet even so, the 3 ancient demons showed clear apprehension, swiftly transforming into streaks of demonic light that tore through the void, unwilling to let the Demon-Slaying Cannon lock onto their forms.

The Elder Bone Demon transformed into a rainbow streak, his demonic voice sweeping across like a tidal wave: "After traversing a 100 million li of void, I wonder how many shots your treasure ship can still fire with its remaining spiritual energy?"

"You can give it a try!"

Enlightened Sage Daoxuan (Person Name) sneered coldly as he ordered the treasure ship to press onward. If possible, he would rather avoid confronting these 3 demons altogether.

The 2 sides had been locked in a stalemate for 2 days when the Blackbone Elder could endure no longer. In a flash of rainbow light, he transformed into a streak that crossed thousands of miles of void. Then, he summoned a blood-red demonic blade and swung it forth with devastating force.

“Blood-Transmuting Demon Blade (Magic Treasure)！”

Daoxuan the Enlightened Sage (Person Name) turned stern-faced. With a flick of his sleeve, he unfurled a scroll and summoned an azure immortal sword, slashing through the air in 1 fluid motion.

Upon the immortal sword were inlaid 7 resplendent pearls, unleashing iridescent Dao patterns that actually forced the renowned Blood-Transmuting Demon Blade (Magic Treasure) into a disadvantageous position.

"It is the 7-Star Demon-Slaying Sword!"

Eldrin’s gaze sharpened slightly. The 7-Star Demon-Refining Sword wielded by Daoxuan the Enlightened Sage radiated extraordinary power—a rare and formidable Immortal Sword of Demon Purification.

Almost simultaneously, Bloodbone Elder and Whitebone Elder launched their assaults together, striking toward the treasure ship in an attempt to breach its defensive formation.

The Bone Fiend was blocked by Daoxuan the Enlightened Sage (Person Name) wielding the 1000-Demon Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure), while the Bloodbone Fiend continued his murderous advance.

"We can't let him cut his way through."

The human cultivators aboard the treasure ship grew solemn. Should the Nascent Soul demon cultivator draw near, the spiritual energy currently stored within the vessel would likely sustain them for scarcely any time at all.

The crowd immediately sprang into action, activating their Demon-Hunting Crossbows and Demon-Slaying Cannons to launch a fierce assault.

Yet, the Blood Bone Old Demon twisted and turned, managing to evade everyone’s attacks in an astonishingly short span of time.

Chapter 1 The first Demon-Slaying Artillery shot missed its target!

The second Demon-Slaying Cannon shot missed yet again!

The third Demon-Slaying Cannon shot into the sky once more, poised to strike the Bloodbone Elder Demon. Yet it merely shattered a cluster of bloodied bones.

"It's the Blood Bone Substitute Technique."

"Damn it."

As the Blood Bone Elder closed in for the kill, everyone’s hearts sank.

At that moment, Eldrin and Lyra exchanged a glance, finally abandoning all pretense of concealment.

In an instant, Lyra suddenly made her move. She summoned the Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword, which soared into the air and swept directly toward the Bloodbone Demon Lord.

"Look out, it's the Lianmo Immortal Sword!"

The Bloodbone Old Demon's pupils abruptly contracted, his figure jerking to an abrupt halt as he narrowly evaded the sword strike.

However, Eldrin (Person Name) simultaneously struck, unleashing the Trinity Divine Thunder (Cultivation Technique) in a fierce assault.

Cornered and with no time to evade, the Bloodbone Elder Fiend could only raise a crimson demonic banner in desperation. In an instant, countless blood shadows surged forth from its folds, lunging toward the threat.

This demonic banner was the life-bound demonic treasure of the Bloodbone Elder Demon. Named the Bloodfiend Demon Banner, it was an exceptionally vicious type of demonic artifact.

This treasure was forged from human skin and refined by absorbing the boundless blood of countless mortals. Now elevated to the 5th-tier realm, 1 could scarcely fathom the immeasurable carnage it had wrought.

"Audacious fiend."

In the instant he laid eyes on that demonic banner, Eldrin's gaze erupted with killing intent. He immediately channeled more magical power, splitting the Tri-Phenomenon Divine Thunder into 3 1000 distinct bolts that rained down from the sky.

Before their eyes, 3 1000 bolts of lightning converged into a sea of thunder, drowning everything in its path and reducing countless blood shadows to ashes of calamity.

The Great Divine Sun Thunder, supremely adept at suppressing such demonic treasures, struck the Bloodbone Old Fiend's Demon Banner with a single blow, grievously wounding it. More than half of the blood shadows were refined into nothingness.

"Ah, my magic treasure!"

Witnessing his Bloodshadow Demon Banner severely damaged, the Bloodbone Elder let out a piercing shriek. Without hesitation, he unleashed a series of divine abilities, striving to shatter the formation and slay Eldrin (Person Name) on the spot.

However, Lyra had long been prepared. With another swift strike, she unleashed the Golden Rhino Immortal Sword, which instantly pierced through the Bloodbone Demon Lord.

Yet, that Blood Bone Elder Demon was truly formidable. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a mass of blood and bones, reappearing in the distance.

"Blood Bone Substitution Art?"

Lyra’s eyes narrowed as she summoned the 2 Polarities Divine Light to immobilize him. Without hesitation, she channeled the 5 Calamities Light of the Grand Void and struck, her gaze sharp as a honed blade. "Let’s see how many more substitutes you can summon!" she declared coldly.

A mighty and vast divine power descended, once again shattering the Blood Bone Elder Demon into fragments, yet in the blink of an eye, he reappeared deep within the void.

Seeing that this demon could not be slain, Daoxuan the Enlightened Sage (Person Name) cautioned, "Though this fiend ranks last in combat prowess among the 3, its survival skills are unquestionably the greatest."

"If we cannot seal the void, it would merely be a futile drain of magical power, and we would certainly fail to strike him down."

"Oh?"

Eldrin’s eyes snapped open, and he immediately summoned the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void. A beam of light shot forth, firmly immobilizing the Blood Bone Demon in the void.

"Now!"

In an instant, Lyra struck again, summoning the Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword to slash down, intent on cleaving the Blood Bone Demon in 2.

Bloodbone Old Demon watched the immortal sword descending upon him, a lethal sense of crisis surging through his veins. He attempted to channel his spiritual power and mystical arts to escape, yet found the very void congealed around him—for a fleeting moment, he could not move a single muscle.

In a panic, he cried out, "Senior Brother, save me!"

"Hmph—"

In that very instant, the old Bone Demon finally made his move.

His eyes abruptly snapped open as he suppressed Daoxuan the Enlightened Sage (Person Name), then immediately moved to assist the Bloodbone Old Demon.

To his surprise, the treasure he summoned was not the Skull of the Bone Demon as Eldrin had anticipated, but a resplendent immortal sword of pure white radiance.

But the immortal sword, shimmering with majestic aura, clanged as it repelled the Heaven-Sundering Immortal-Slaying Sword.

That is... the 100 Spirits Immortal-Slaying Sword!

Eldrin's pupils contracted slightly as he recognized the sword's origin.

The 100 Souls Slaying Sword and the 1000-Demon Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure) stood as opposing forces of wickedness and demonic energy. In ages past, Eldrin (Person Name) had obtained the forging methods for this pair of immortal swords. To exterminate the demon tribes, he succeeded in crafting the 1000-Demon Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure), yet never proceeded to refine the 100 Souls Slaying Sword.

Chapter 1 The biting cold wind howled across the mountain peaks, carrying with it the scent of frost and decay. Lin Feng tightened his tattered robe, his knuckles white as he gripped the rusty sword in his hand. Below the cliff, countless demonic beasts roared, their crimson eyes glowing like hellfire in the deepening twilight. "Just a bit more," he whispered to himself, his breath forming mist in the frigid air. "Just 1 more step to reach the Foundation Establishment realm." Suddenly, a brilliant golden light erupted from his dantian, illuminating the surrounding darkness. The ancient cultivation manual he had discovered in the abandoned cave temple began to float before him, its pages turning rapidly despite the absence of wind. [System Notification: Host has successfully broken through to Foundation Establishment Stage. Reward: 3,200 spirit stones and 1 bottle of Marrow-Cleansing Pills] A faint smile touched Lin Feng's lips. After nearly a 1000 years of relentless cultivation, he had finally achieved what countless others had failed to accomplish. The spiritual energy around him swirled like a vortex, drawn to his newly formed foundation like iron to a magnet. "Junior brother," a voice called from behind. "The sect leader summons you." Lin Feng turned to see Elder Ming, his white beard flowing in the wind like silver threads. The old man's eyes widened in astonishment as he sensed the tremendous spiritual pressure emanating from the young disciple. "You... you've reached Foundation Establishment?" Elder Ming stammered, his voice trembling with disbelief. Lin Feng merely nodded, his gaze returning to the distant mountains where he knew his destiny awaited. The path of cultivation was long and treacherous, filled with countless trials and tribulations. But for the first time in his 20-some years of life, he felt truly alive. The Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss hummed at his waist, its ancient power stirring in response to his breakthrough. Somewhere beyond the clouds, thunder rumbled - a harbinger of the heavenly tribulation to come. Chapter 2 The main hall of the Azure Cloud Sect stood magnificent and imposing, its pillars carved with coiling dragons that seemed to breathe in the morning mist. Dozens of disciples in blue robes knelt in perfect formation, their heads bowed in reverence as Sect Leader Xuan Yi ascended the golden platform. "Rise, children of the Azure Cloud," the sect leader's voice echoed through the hall, calm yet carrying undeniable authority. "Today, we gather to discuss the upcoming Grand Sect Competition." Murmurs spread among the disciples like ripples on water. Lin Feng stood silently at the back, his newfound spiritual sense allowing him to perceive the cultivation levels of everyone present. Most were in the Qi Condensation stage, with only a handful having reached Foundation Establishment like himself. "The competition will be held at the Divine Capital in 3 months' time," Sect Leader Xuan Yi continued. "The top 10 disciples will receive guidance from the legendary Golden Core elders and the opportunity to enter the Secret Realm of 10 1000 Blossoms." A young female disciple near Lin Feng gasped. "The Secret Realm? Where they say a single day of cultivation equals a year outside?" "Exactly," the sect leader confirmed. "But remember - with great opportunity comes great danger. The secret realm is filled with ancient formations and powerful magical beasts. Over a 100 cultivators perished there during the last opening." Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. Danger had never deterred him before. If anything, it only fueled his determination. The memory of his family's destruction at the hands of the Blood Demon Sect still burned brightly in his mind, a constant reminder of why he needed to grow stronger. "I will participate," he said, his voice cutting through the whispers. All eyes turned to him, some filled with admiration, others with envy or suspicion. Sect Leader Xuan Yi studied him for a long moment before nodding slowly. "So be it. May the heavens guide your path, disciple Lin Feng."
