Chapter 750 Azure Dragon Roiling the Sea Sword

Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) met his foe with a single slash, instantly slaying 1 demon emperor. Close behind, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) struck down another demon emperor with 1 decisive blow.

The remaining 2 demon monarchs were merely at the Nascent Soul, Early Stage, and were slain by Eldrin and Lyra in the blink of an eye.

With the Demon Emperor no longer presiding over the situation, the remaining demonic hordes finally scattered and fled.

Kill!

Ignoring the pursuit of the demon beasts, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) unleashed a murderous glare and summoned the ‘Green Dragon Heaven-Severing Blade’ to strike at the secluded cultivation grounds of the Mystic Tortoise demon tribe.

There, within the geyser of earth veins, the Profound Turtle Demon Emperor’s face was twisted with ferocity as he channeled the power of the Celestial Soul. Confronted with the Azure Dragon Severing Heaven Blade, he did not so much as flinch, merely urging a suit of black tortoise shell to block the strike.

That tortoiseshell was the Mystic Turtle Patriarch's life-bound treasure armor. Once he broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, he would likely be able to refine it into a genuine Yang Spirit Treasure.

Though he had not yet crossed that threshold at this moment, his defensive capabilities were nearly on par with the Pure Yang realm. Even the innate spirit treasure of the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) could not harm him.

"Alas!" After blocking this strike, the Ancient Mystic Tortoise (Cultivator) heaved a sigh. "I bear no grudge against any of you. Why must you obstruct my path to enlightenment?"

"If you withdraw now, this old man will overlook your offense and offer generous gifts in return."

"The path of immortality is a battlefield, not a place for pleasantries." Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) let out a cold laugh, his gaze icy as he spoke, "There was never any enmity between us. A pity you stand in this emperor's way."

My words end here. The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) spoke once more, "Let no 1 hold back their power."

Everyone knew well that although Elder Xuanwu appeared amiable now, once he broke through to the Pure Yang Realm, they would likely be the ones under his control.

Boom—

With this thought, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) immediately took action, summoning the Ocean-Quelling Divine Pearl (Magic Treasure) and hurling it downward.

The Ocean-Calming Pearl could pacify the boundless waters of the Endless Sea, bearing weight greater than an entire vast ocean. Such formidable power would give even a Pure Yang Dao Lord pause, deterring them from confronting it directly.

Although the Profound Turtle Demon Emperor possessed an immensely powerful physical body, if he dared to block this strike directly with his innate treasure armor, he would likely be pulverized into minced flesh—doomed to face both shattered armor and his own demise.

At such a critical moment of life and death, the Profound Turtle Patriarch could no longer attend to the Celestial Soul he had almost fully summoned, reluctantly abandoning his continued breakthrough.

Suppressing the violent backlash surging within him, his face twisted into a savage mask. As his gaze fell upon the assailants charging toward him, a torrent of overwhelming fury ignited in the depths of his pupils.

"You all deserve to die!"

"Clang—"

A dazzling azure sword radiance erupted, instantly cleaving toward the Calamity-Sea Divine Pearl.

The edge of this sword was overwhelmingly sharp, actually suppressing the Divine Sea-Calming Pearl until its radiance trembled violently, then sent it flying away with a single slash.

"It is the Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea Sword."

The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) exclaimed in astonishment, recognizing the origin of this sword before revealing a look of greed.

This ‘Azure Dragon Roiling the Seas Sword’ stands as the foremost treasure of slaughter among the demon race, ranked alongside the Heavenly Demon's Immortal-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure) and the 5 Poisons Immortal-Slaying Sword. Together, they are hailed as the 3 most powerful supreme demonic immortal swords of the Violet Realm.

Its power ranks it among the top 10 Pure Yang Immortal Swords across all races—human, demon, and monster—and its position is notably high.

It is said that the Azure Dragon of the Eastern Sea in ancient times wielded a 'Qinglong Naohai Jian' (Magic Treasure), a blade whose grade approached the realm of immortal artifacts. Its power of slaughter was peerless throughout the world.

Such a weapon of slaughter naturally explains why Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) would reveal such covetousness in his expression.

However, the keen-eyed Eldrin noticed that this Azure Dragon Roaring Sea Sword contained no dragon soul within. He thus remarked, "There is no dragon soul in this sword—it must be merely a sword embryo."

The Azure Dragon Sea-Quelling Sword could only develop a dragon soul through 2 methods. The first required an authentic Azure Dragon to personally consecrate and refine it, infusing a wisp of its divided soul to nurture the blade day and night, ultimately cultivating a true dragon spirit.

The second method involved slaying a true dragon, which could also forge the sword soul—and far more swiftly at that.

For the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), who had come to kill, the Green Dragon Sea-Quelling Sword was an object he was determined to obtain. Should this sword fall into the hands of the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), it would undoubtedly complement him perfectly, harmonizing with his nature in an unparalleled manner.

However, should it fall into the hands of individuals like Maris the Sea Steader and Eldrin, it would inevitably forge a feud of life and death with the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor.

At this thought, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) cast a glance at the 4 individuals, a trace of wariness flashing in his eyes.

Seeing the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) hesitating, Eldrin (Person Name) sneered coldly, "The Mystic Turtle Ancestor has mastered the power of Profound Ice. If you don't fight with all your strength, I'm afraid he might just escape with his life."

Hearing this, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) narrowed his eyes, only then noticing that an extremely potent glacial radiance was coiled around the nascent form of the Azure Dragon Sea-Roiling Sword. It was indeed the legendary Profound Ice Secret Power.

With the cultivation of Half-Step Primordial Spirit possessed by the Mystic Turtle Ancestor, further augmented by the Verdant Dragon Oceanic Sword and the power of Mystic Ice, it was likely that no single individual present could best him in 1-on-1 combat.

At this thought, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) summoned the Green Jade Ruler for Measuring Heaven and immediately launched an attack toward the Ancestral Mystic Tortoise.

Eldrin held nothing back, summoning the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure) to strike directly at the Black Tortoise Demon Emperor.

"Damn it!"

As the 3 Pure Yang Spirit Treasures came slashing toward him, Patriarch Blacktortoise could only grit his teeth and summon his nascent sword embryo to repeatedly parry the fierce onslaught.

The 2 sides exchanged hundreds of moves in relentless combat, battling for several full hours. Yet the Profound Turtle Ancestor could find no opening to flee.

"Ah—"

Suddenly, the Profound Turtle Patriarch failed to block the combined assault of the 3. Struck by the residual power of the Sea-Calming Pearl, he instantly spat blood and was sent flying backward.

At this moment, Patriarch Xuan Gui felt his mind grow dizzy, overwhelmed by a sense of impending catastrophe.

Though he wielded the Pure Yang Spiritual Artifact and had comprehended the Profound Ice Secret Force, speed remained his weakness. It was nearly impossible to break free from the siege of 3 Pure Yang Spiritual Artifacts.

In such circumstances, his hope for survival was likely extremely slim.

"It seems today, this old man shall meet his end here."

A trace of despair flickered across the face of the Mystic Turtle Patriarch. His magical power was nearly depleted, and the injuries within his body had reached their absolute limit. There was no longer any chance of escape.

His gaze swept over the crowd, then with eyes burning with profound hatred, he declared, "Even if this Patriarch falls in battle today, I shall ensure none of you leave unscathed!"

"Open for me!"

Suddenly, the Mystic Turtle Patriarch swung his sword, forcing everyone back, then activated the mountain-protecting formations around the 2 spirit herb gardens in the waters.

But within the spirit herb garden, radiant treasures overflowed with brilliance. To the left stood a spirit herb resembling a true dragon, bearing a single fruit intricately patterned with draconic designs.

To the right stood a bizarre Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), its branches rugged and potent, veined with endless Dao patterns, blossoming with a magnificent spiritual flower.

Dragon Ascension Divine Fruit

Flower of Enlightenment!

2 cries of shock suddenly rang out across the scene.

Among the 2 treasures, the Dragon Ascension Divine Fruit was a sixth-tier Pure Yang spirit fruit. Consuming it would grant 1 the power to transform into a dragon.

With the foundation of the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), consuming this Dragon Transformation Divine Fruit would undoubtedly allow him to metamorphose into a 9 Heavens True Dragon, breaking through to the Soul Manifestation Demon Ancestor realm in 1 fell swoop. In the future, he might even have the chance to attain immortality.

The Wondao Flower is a sixth-tier, low-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root). This tree produces the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Blossom known as the Wondao Flower, possessing astonishing and profound utility.

The Enlightening Bloom aids cultivators in comprehending esoteric powers. It is said that a perfected Nascent Soul cultivator who consumes this flower would have at least a 50 percent chance of grasping the legendary esoteric forces.

The reason the Profound Tortoise Ancestor was able to cultivate his Profound Ice magic power was largely due to the assistance of the Wen Dao Flower (Spiritual Herb).

Seeing the 'Enlightenment Blossom Tree' right before his eyes, Maris the Sea Steader immediately rushed toward it, disregarding the dying Elder Mystic Turtle.

In that very instant, Eldrin's Green Abyss Sword blossomed forth, cleanly severing the Ancient Mystic Tortoise's head in 1 fluid motion.

"Hahaha"

In his final moment, the Mystic Turtle Patriarch let out a roaring laugh, mustering his last breath to unleash the Azure Sea-Dragon Sword toward the Enlightening Blossom Tree.

"No—"

Seeing this, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) instantly paled. In that moment, he realized that under the pincer attack of Eldrin (Person Name) and Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name), he would have at most 1 chance to seize the treasure.

He glanced at the Azure Dragon Sea-Quelling Sword and the Dragon Transformation Divine Fruit, and after a fleeting moment of hesitation, still charged toward the Dragon Transformation Divine Fruit.

Chapter 1 The biting cold wind howled across the desolate mountain peak, carrying with it the scent of frost and decay. Lin Feng tightened his tattered robe, his breath forming pale clouds in the frigid air. Before him lay the ruins of what was once a magnificent immortal's cave, now reduced to crumbling stone and frozen earth. "1 100 years," he whispered, the words swallowed by the wind. "1 100 years since the Fall." His fingers traced the faded characters carved into a broken stele - "Heaven's Ascent Sect." Once, these mountains had echoed with the sounds of practitioners cultivating, their swords gleaming like shooting stars against the azure sky. Now, only silence remained. From his spatial pouch, Lin Feng produced a single, faintly glowing spirit stone. The system interface flickered before his eyes: [Remaining Spirit Stones: 1] [Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Stage - 3rd Layer] [Available Missions: None] A bitter smile touched his lips. How the mighty had fallen. He who had once commanded 10 1000 disciples now possessed but a single spirit stone, barely enough to sustain his dwindling cultivation for another day. Suddenly, the system interface flashed crimson. [Emergency Mission: Ancient Relic Retrieval] [Location: 50 li northwest] [Reward: 5,000 spirit stones, Earth Grade cultivation manual] Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. 5 1000 spirit stones - more wealth than he had seen in decades. Enough to purchase the Blood Replenishing Pills he desperately needed, perhaps even acquire a proper flying sword. He glanced at the rusted sword at his waist - the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, once a legendary magic treasure, now little more than scrap metal after its spirit had been destroyed during the Great Calamity. "Very well," he murmured, his voice gaining strength. "If the heavens will not end my path, then I shall walk it still." Channeling what little spiritual energy remained in his core, Lin Feng began the descent. The mountain paths, once familiar as the back of his hand, now seemed alien and treacherous. Icy rocks shifted beneath his feet, while the ever-present wind sought to tear him from the cliffs. After nearly 2 hours of arduous travel, he reached the coordinates indicated by the system. Before him gaped the entrance to a cave, hidden behind a curtain of frozen vines. An ancient, powerful aura emanated from within, setting his teeth on edge. Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng stepped into the darkness. The air within was thick with dust and the scent of ages. Faint luminescent moss provided just enough light to see by, revealing walls covered in intricate carvings depicting celestial battles and meditation scenes. He had advanced only 20 paces when a thunderous roar echoed through the cavern. From the shadows emerged a massive Stone Guardian, its body composed of rock and earth, eyes glowing with malevolent red light. [Mountain Guardian] [Threat Level: High] [Weakness: Wood Element attacks] Lin Feng's heart sank. In his prime, such a creature would have been mere sport. Now, with his cultivation crippled and his magic treasures broken... The guardian charged, its massive fists slamming into the ground where Lin Feng had stood moments before. He barely dodged, the impact sending shockwaves through the cavern. Think, he commanded himself. Wood element... but his wood spells required at least the 5th Layer of Qi Refining to cast effectively. His eyes fell upon the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss. Fire feeds on wood, but wood can also extinguish fire when properly applied. An idea began to form. As the guardian prepared another attack, Lin Feng poured his remaining spiritual energy into the broken sword. Instead of attempting to unleash its fire properties, he reversed the energy flow, creating a vacuum that began drawing the guardian's earth energy. The creature roared in confusion as its stony form began to crumble. Lin Feng pressed his advantage, chanting the basic Wood Binding spell he hadn't used in decades. Pale green energy wrapped around the guardian, exploiting the weakness created by the energy drain. With a final, deafening crash, the Mountain Guardian collapsed into a pile of rubble. [Mission Complete] [Rewards: 5,000 spirit stones, Earth Grade cultivation manual - "Void Soul Art"] Lin Feng slumped against the cavern wall, breathing heavily. The system interface showed his spirit stone count had updated to 5,001. Not enough to restore his former glory, but a start. A new beginning. He opened the cultivation manual, his eyes widening as he read the introduction. This was no ordinary Earth Grade technique - it contained insights into soul cultivation that even heavenly grade manuals rarely touched upon. A slow smile spread across his face. The path of cultivation was long and fraught with peril, but for the first time in a century, Lin Feng felt a flicker of hope. "The journey of 10 1000 miles begins with a single step," he murmured, tucking the manual into his robe. "And this... this is mine."
