Chapter 1300
Swords and Blades Combined! True Spirit Inheritance Enters My Sect
At the same time, the Evil King Blade swept out with a sharp blade aura, severing all the water columns.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Sword light and blade energy intertwined in the air, colliding with the towering waves stirred up by the Xuanwu beast, unleashing a deafening roar.
The entire ruins space trembled violently under the impact of this terrifying energy, and countless spatial cracks spread out like a spider web.
Xuefeng Daozu seized the opportunity, waved his folding fan repeatedly, and dozens of ice dragons roared as they charged toward the Xuanwu giant beast's back armor.
"Crack!"
The ice dragon crashed into the carapace, freezing cracks into the incredibly hard scales.
The Xuanwu behemoth roared in pain. It suddenly opened its massive jaws, and a jet of water, condensed to its extreme, shot out, heading straight for Dao Ancestor Xuefeng.
Wherever the water column passed, the space was frozen into ice. Its power was so great that it could instantly freeze a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm into an ice sculpture!
"careful!"
Ye Yang reacted quickly, flashing forward to block Xue Feng Daozu's path.
The Evil King Blade slashed horizontally, and a jet-black blade aura severed the water column in two.
But how could the attack of the Xuanwu behemoth be so simple?
The severed water column instantly transformed into countless ice blades, raining down on the two of them.
A glint flashed in Ye Yang's eyes. He pointed the tip of the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword, and countless bolts of lightning burst forth from the sword, condensing into a lightning shield in front of him.
"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!"
The ice blade struck the lightning shield.
It emitted a dense metallic clanging sound, but could not break through the lightning's defense.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dao Ancestor Xuefeng retreated several steps, waving his folding fan repeatedly, creating layers of ice walls in front of him.
"Master Ye, this beast has amazing defense; ordinary attacks are ineffective against it!"
"It was Xuefeng Daozu who said in a deep voice."
"I observed that although its carapace is strong, its abdominal scales are relatively thin; perhaps that is where its weakness lies!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yang's gaze sharpened.
His divine sense swept across the entire body of the Xuanwu beast in an instant, and he indeed found that the scales on its abdomen were much thinner than those on its back.
"Alright! You hold it back, I'll break its defenses!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yang transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly circling from the top of the Xuanwu Beast's head to its side.
The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade intertwined in the air to form a cross, and the golden-purple lightning and the pitch-black blade energy merged together to form a dazzling blade of light that went straight for the belly of the Xuanwu Beast!
"Roar!"
The Xuanwu beast seemed to sense the danger and suddenly retracted its body into its shell, trying to withstand the attack with its hard shell.
But would Ye Yang let it have its way?
Just as the Xuanwu giant beast shrank, Xuefeng Daozu's attack arrived!
Countless ice shards rained down like a storm, striking the gaps in the Xuanwu beast's body as it shrank, freezing its massive form in place!
"Now!"
Seizing this critical opportunity, Ye Yang unleashed a powerful strike with his combined sword and blade, slashing fiercely at the scales on the belly of the Xuanwu behemoth!
"boom!!!"
With a deafening roar, a gash several meters long was ripped open on the scales of the Xuanwu beast's abdomen!
The dark blue blood gushed out like a spring, splashing onto the ground and instantly corroding deep pits into it.
"Ow!!!"
The Xuanwu behemoth let out a shrill scream, its massive body tumbling wildly on the ground, causing the entire ruins space to tremble precariously under its force.
Ye Yang pressed his advantage relentlessly, his figure moving like a ghost as he closed in once more. The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword flashed repeatedly, unleashing a torrent of sword energy that rained down on the Xuanwu Beast's wounds, further exacerbating the injury.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dao Ancestor Xuefeng launched an attack, with countless ice blades penetrating the Xuanwu Beast's body through the wounds, beginning to freeze its flesh and meridians.
"Roar...roar..."
The roar of the Xuanwu behemoth grew weaker and weaker, and a trace of fear began to appear in its huge eyes that were originally full of rage.
It finally realized that the two human cultivators in front of it were no pushovers, especially the one wielding a sword who was at the Tribulation Realm, whose strength far exceeded its expectations.
If this continues, it will surely die!
"Stop! Stop!!"
Just as Ye Yang was about to launch another fatal attack, an old and weak voice suddenly rang in their minds.
Ye Yang and Xue Feng Dao Ancestor were both taken aback and looked up at the Xuanwu Beast.
The once ferocious beast was now prostrate on the ground, its enormous eyes filled with pleading.
"Fellow Daoists... have mercy... have mercy..."
The voice of the Xuanwu behemoth echoed in their minds, filled with intense fear and despair.
"This beast is willing...willing to be your servant...to follow you two fellow Daoists for life...I only beg you to spare my life..."
Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Xuefeng showed a hint of surprise on his face.
He never expected that this giant Xuanwu beast would actually beg for mercy and even be willing to become a slave.
It should be noted that spirit beasts at the Tribulation Realm possess intelligence comparable to that of humans. For them to lower themselves to beg for mercy like this shows that they are truly afraid.
Dao Ancestor Xuefeng looked at Ye Yang, wanting to see what his attitude was.
A thoughtful look flashed in Ye Yang's eyes.
He slowly put away the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade, and the lightning around him gradually subsided.
"Don't you think it's a bit late to speak now, fellow Daoist?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yang's figure transformed into lightning once again.
The lightning patterns on the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword suddenly intensified, and an extremely dazzling sword light tore through the void, heading straight for the head of the Xuanwu Beast!
"you!"
The Xuanwu behemoth's pupils suddenly contracted.
It didn't expect Ye Yang to be completely unmoved and attack without warning! The Xuanwu beast roared, trying to continue resisting, but the severe injury to its abdomen rendered it powerless to fight.
It mustered its last strength to summon its remaining spiritual energy, trying to prop up its shell to block, but the several-meter-long tear in its abdomen...
The dazzling lightning sword light was already upon them, and the pressure that was enough to tear apart the flesh of a Thunder Tribulation Realm cultivator caused the Xuanwu Beast's scales to stand on end.
But just as the sword light was about to pierce its head...
Ye Yang's figure suddenly froze in mid-air. The tip of the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword was only three inches away from his brow. The blazing lightning patterns flickered slightly, but he did not take another step forward.
Ye Yang frowned deeply, the murderous intent in his eyes fading somewhat, replaced by deep surprise.
"You actually begged for mercy?"
The Dao Ancestor Xuefeng, standing to the side, also withdrew his attack and hovered in mid-air, looking astonished.
He had cultivated for tens of thousands of years and had seen countless beasts at the Thunder Tribulation Realm. Whether they were ancient species or descendants of true spirits, they were all proud and unyielding, preferring death to surrender.
Even if they are suppressed to the point of despair, at most they will only fight to the death.
Never before has there been such a voluntary act of humbling oneself and willingly begging for mercy as a slave.
When the Xuanwu behemoth saw Ye Yang stop, its tense body instantly collapsed.
Knowing it had been given a second chance at life, it dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately used its mental power to transmit a message.
“Fellow Daoist…if I had not been driven to desperation, I would never have dared to do this.”
"I have never forgotten the pride of being a descendant of the True Spirit, but... but there are still hidden secrets behind it."
A glint flashed in Ye Yang's eyes as he sheathed the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword. The lightning around him completely subsided, leaving only a trace of vigilance lingering around him.
Dao Ancestor Xuefeng also moved closer, his eyes full of curiosity.
The fact that a Xuanwu True Spirit at the Thunder Tribulation Realm could set aside its pride and beg for mercy suggests that the hidden story behind it is far from ordinary.
The Xuanwu behemoth took a deep breath, seemingly recalling a painful past, a trace of sadness and anger flashing in its giant eyes.
"This beast originated from the Xuanwu Sacred Sect of the 'Azure Realm'."
"That is a cultivation world that is far more vast than this one."
"Our sect has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years with the Xuanwu True Spirit bloodline, with millions of disciples and three elders at the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm."
Upon hearing this, a look of shock flashed in Ye Yang's eyes.
Looking across the entire Star Sea Realm, there are only a handful of cultivators who can reach that level.
The fact that a sect has three experts at the Thunder Tribulation Dao Ancestor Realm is simply astonishing.
Dao Ancestor Xuefeng also gasped, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Xuan Yuan continued.
"However... not long ago, the Canglan Realm suffered a great calamity."
"Several otherworldly realms simultaneously launched a dimensional war, with countless demons and evil cultivators crossing over to try and devour the origin of the Canglan Realm. In that battle, the heavens and earth collapsed, and the sun and moon lost their light."
"As one of the top sects in the Canglan Realm, my Xuanwu Holy Sect naturally bears the brunt. From outer disciples to elders, everyone in the sect has thrown themselves into the battlefield, fighting against the alien demons for thousands of years."
As Xuan Yuan spoke, a deep sadness and anger welled up in his giant eyes.
"In that battle, my sect suffered heavy losses, with 90% of the tens of thousands of disciples perishing. In the end... the only remaining Dao Ancestor, Chonghe, forcibly tore apart the dimensional barrier, placed the sect's remaining scriptures into my belly, and sent them into the void turbulence."
"Meanwhile, Dao Ancestor Chonghe remained in the Canglan Realm, single-handedly holding off several otherworldly Dao Ancestors, buying us time to escape..."
"This beast has been wandering in the void for countless years, and has been nearly torn apart by the void turbulence several times. Until one day, I sensed the mark left by the Dao Ancestor Chonghe here, and only then did I follow the mark and fall into this Star Sea Demon Realm."
"Before he left, the Dao Ancestor said that he had left his mark and legacy in many planes. If we can find them, we can rebuild the Xuanwu Holy Sect and continue the sect's bloodline."
At this point, its voice was filled with remorse.
"Just now, seeing that the two fellow Daoists were quite strong, I wanted to test them and see if they were qualified to inherit the Dao Ancestor's legacy. But I didn't expect... this fellow Daoist's strength far exceeded my expectations."
After it finished speaking, it looked at Ye Yang.
"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have abandoned my dignity and willingly become a slave."
Ye Yang's mind raced.
An unparalleled sect from another vast world.
Its inherited Taoist scriptures... even if only a fragment remains, their value is absolutely immeasurable.
More importantly, there's the Xuanwu True Spirit named Xuanyuan!
It is not only a powerful force in the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm, but also a living vessel for inheritance.
The cultivation techniques, secrets, formations, and weapon-forging skills it possesses are a valuable asset for any sect, enough to lay the foundation for an everlasting dynasty.
The Flying Heaven Sect is currently developing the wild and untamed regions, and its sphere of influence is constantly expanding. It needs to accumulate strength and resources.
Although the sect possesses some cultivation techniques that they brought back themselves, their systems are ultimately limited. Obtaining the inheritance of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger.
Moreover, the Flying Heaven Gate has a great formation at its mountain gate.
However, they have always lacked a guardian beast capable of suppressing the clan's fortune and intimidating all directions.
Compared to this beast, the Flying Turtle that chases the sun is still far inferior.
The Xuanwu True Spirit before us is the perfect choice in terms of strength, bloodline, and the profound significance and protective meaning it carries!
With this in mind, Ye Yang had already made up his mind.
He stepped forward, looked at Xuan Yuan with clear eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, your plight is truly pitiful."
"To continue the lineage is a matter of course. I, Ye, though unworthy, am honored to be the head of a sect in this realm, and I am willing to assist you in fulfilling this request." (End of Chapter)
