Chapter 1338
Azure Lotus Sword Realm
He was already used to this kind of scene.
He did not stop him, but slowly raised one hand and gently brushed it away.
Then it simply vanished into the void.
After doing all this, True Lord Yunyuan closed his eyes to rest again and ignored it.
"Fellow Daoist, let's go too!"
As the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal moved, a faint azure sword aura surged around him, ethereal and otherworldly, as if a sword immortal had descended to earth.
Ye Yang nodded, and the two exchanged a glance before setting off simultaneously, transforming into two streaks of light, one blue and one white, and calmly rushing into the Nine Revolutions Star Tower.
-
Inside the tower, there is a hidden world.
Ye Yang felt a blur before his eyes, and the space around him twisted violently, as if he had passed through an invisible barrier.
When his vision cleared and his feet touched the ground, he found himself in a strange and desolate space.
Looking out, one sees a vast and ancient battlefield.
The earth was cracked, covered with a dense web of spiderweb-like fissures.
The ground was littered with shattered ancient weapons, broken armor, and weathered bones.
In the sky, there was no sun or moon, only a few broken fragments of stars floating, emitting a faint and dim light.
A desolate, ancient, and somber atmosphere permeated every corner.
"The tower is a self-contained space, and each floor is an independent ancient secret realm."
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal looked around, his expression slightly hardening.
"This should be the first level of the Nine Revolutions Star Tower, corresponding to the ruins of an ancient battlefield. Fellow Daoist, please be careful. This battlefield may contain ancient killing formations, remnant souls and evil spirits, or ancient ferocious beasts guarding the secret realm. If you are not careful, you will perish here."
Ye Yang was about to nod in response.
suddenly!
He shuddered violently, his expression changed slightly, and he turned around abruptly!
In his soul perception, an extremely subtle, faint, almost negligible, yet persistent and eerie aura clung to him like a maggot clinging to his bone!
It's elusive, impossible to escape.
"This is……"
Ye Yang's heart sank. He immediately raised his arm, suppressed his aura, and circulated his incomparably powerful Xuanwu Dao power. Following that faint sensation, he carefully examined his surroundings.
His divine sense, like a fine stream of water, swept over his robes, body, limbs, and bones.
Soon, his gaze was fixed on his sleeve.
Within those inconspicuous folds, there was a tiny, hair-thin, jet-black insect that almost blended into the fabric.
It was lying there quietly, motionless, and would be impossible to detect unless one deliberately used their divine sense to probe it.
"This is... a tracking technique used by the demons!"
Upon seeing that thing, the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal seemed to have discovered something and cried out in surprise.
"It's the Blood Demon Soul-Devouring Gu! Fellow Daoist, you've been ambushed by that Blood Demon Lord!"
Ye Yang's face darkened.
No wonder he was so restless and felt like something was wrong.
It turns out that from the very beginning, the Blood Demon Lord had secretly used such insidious methods against him!
"This Gu is a secret technique of the Demon Clan, extremely well-hidden. Once it possesses you, it will mark your location day and night."
"Given the Blood Demon Lord's nature, he will definitely be lying in ambush in the tower to intercept and kill you and steal your treasure!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yang's gaze instantly turned cold.
"The demons are indeed despicable and insidious in their actions."
Ye Yang stood still, neither panicked nor immediately trying to kill the Soul-Devouring Gu.
He looked down at the insignificant demonic insect on his sleeve and remained silent for a moment.
The next moment, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a cold smile slowly curved his lips.
"Since they're so eager to track my location..."
"Then let them chase us all they want."
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal was slightly taken aback.
"What you mean, fellow Daoist, is..."
"Use their scheme against them, set an ambush, and kill them!"
Ye Yang sneered, his tone filled with confidence and killing intent.
"The Blood Demon Lord assumes I'm only at the mid-stage of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm and will underestimate me, thinking he can easily kill me. We can use this opportunity to lure him into a trap and eliminate these demon pursuers first, thus preventing future troubles!"
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal was taken aback at first, then a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Ye is indeed extraordinary. Even when faced with a ferocious and stubborn Blood Demon Lord, he showed no fear whatsoever. This composure surpasses that of countless cultivators."
"Coincidentally, I also have a deep-seated grudge against him!"
"Since that's the case, let these demon bastards never return!"
The two exchanged a glance, and without saying a word, they had already made up their minds.
Ye Yang did not immediately remove the Soul-Devouring Gu. Instead, he deliberately concealed his aura, allowing it to continue to attach itself to his sleeve, serving as a living bait.
He and the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal stopped and quickened their pace, traversing the desolate ancient battlefield. They avoided several ancient killing formations on the ground that concealed deadly dangers, and soon arrived at the end of the first level of the secret realm.
There stood an ancient teleportation array shrouded in a faint white light, its runes flashing; it was the entrance to the second level of the secret realm.
"Senior, please go to the second level first."
Ye Yang immediately transmitted his voice and quickly made arrangements.
"Set up the Azure Lotus Sword Realm at the other end of the teleportation array, conceal your presence, and do not reveal yourself."
"I'll deliberately slow down, pretending to flee in panic, to lure the demons after us. The moment they all step into the teleportation array and enter the second level, you and I will join forces and wipe them all out!"
"it is good!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal nodded in agreement.
In that instant, the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal flashed, his sword energy instantly receding and transforming into a barely perceptible stream of azure light. He was the first to step into the teleportation array, and with a flash of light, he completely disappeared.
On the battlefield, only Ye Yang remained.
Ye Yang took a deep breath, suppressing the killing intent in his heart, and deliberately adjusted his breathing, revealing a slight disorder.
He is waiting.
Waiting for the fish to take the bait.
really!
In just a short while.
In the distance, demonic energy suddenly surged, and dark clouds pressed down on the city!
Several ferocious figures tore through the air at extreme speed, carrying overwhelming killing intent, and directly locked onto Ye Yang!
The leader, dressed in a blood-red robe, had a sinister face and bloodshot eyes; who else could he be but the Blood Demon Lord!
Behind him stood five equally powerful demonic warriors, each with a sinister grin on their faces, like hungry wolves eyeing lambs.
The Blood Demon Lord spotted Ye Yang, who was isolated and helpless, and immediately burst into wild laughter, unleashing his demonic power that swept across the surrounding area.
"Hand over the Xuanwu Heaven-Suppressing Seal, and I might spare your life, leaving you with a whole corpse!"
Ye Yang turned around abruptly, his face displaying a perfectly timed expression of "panic."
"Dream on, I'd rather die than give it to you."
The Blood Demon Lord laughed wildly, extremely pleased with himself.
"Don't worry, I'll take the things after you die."
"Trying to escape?! Too late!"
A cold glint flashed in the Blood Demon Lord's eyes, giving Ye Yang absolutely no chance.
He suddenly raised his hand and struck out with a palm!
A surge of demonic energy shot into the sky, condensing into an enormous demonic hand in mid-air. It blotted out the sun and, with an overwhelming power, pressed down on Ye Yang, attempting to capture him directly!
But just as the evil hand was about to fall!
Ye Yang suddenly stopped fleeing.
He slowly turned around.
The panic and fear on his face vanished instantly.
"Who said... I was going to run away?"
The moment the words fell!
boom!
Suddenly, ten thousand sharp and incomparable cyan sword lights erupted from within the teleportation array!
Sword light soared into the sky, tearing through demonic energy!
"The Azure Lotus Sword Realm rises!"
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal's voice boomed like thunder from the heavens!
In an instant!
Centered on the teleportation array, the space within a radius of a thousand feet was violently distorted, completely enveloped by terrifying azure sword energy! Countless azure sword lights, like a torrential rain, slashed out simultaneously from all directions, directly targeting the Blood Demon Lord and the group of powerful demons!
The sword energy was sharp and fierce, piercing the sky!
"Oh no! We've fallen for their trap!"
The Blood Demon Lord's expression changed drastically, filled with utter horror!
He only realized this at this moment.
It's not that we're isolated and helpless.
There was no panicked escape.
It was a complete trap from the very beginning!
But by then, it was too late.
Ye Yang stood still, turned around, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and spoke coldly.
"Now that you've all caught up with us..."
"Then let them all stay!"
He raised his hand and pressed down, causing the void to rumble!
A colossal, jet-black phantom of Xuanwu, carrying a tortoise and a snake on its back, suddenly appeared, suppressing all directions!
The terrifying pressure of Xuanwu's World-Suppressing Law swept across the entire area!
"kill!"
A cold shout echoed across the ancient battlefield.
Before the words were even finished!
boom!
An indescribable, immense pressure suddenly exploded from Ye Yang's body.
The once peaceful void was instantly filled with endless starlight.
Starlight fell from the heavens, as if summoned by some supreme deity, and surged wildly towards Ye Yang.
The next moment, a suit of armor, entirely black yet adorned with star patterns, shot up from his dantian and covered every corner of his body in an instant.
The moment the Star Armor took shape, Ye Yang's entire demeanor underwent a complete transformation.
Although he had previously shown his sharpness, he still retained a degree of restraint.
At this moment, clad in star armor, his aura was majestic and cold, and his eyes were devoid of any emotion, only showing indifference towards everything.
Almost at the same instant the Star Armor covered his body, Ye Yang slightly flipped his right hand, his wrist vibrated, and a clear and melodious sword cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Clang!
The Dragon Abyss Sword is drawn!
The sword's blade is long and slender like autumn water, clear as the bright moon, and its entire body flows with a warm yet incomparably sharp azure light.
On the spine of the sword, the faint phantom of a blue dragon slowly moved about, sometimes circling, sometimes raising its head.
The sound of the sword was unlike that of an ordinary weapon; it was more like the roar of an ancient dragon, shaking the heavens and tearing through the sky. Even the surging demonic energy around it was forced back several feet by this dragon's roar.
With another grab of his left hand, the void twisted and contorted.
The Evil King Blade flashed out from the sky!
The blade was as black as ink, as deep as night, as if it could devour all light and plunge into an endless path of slaughter.
A master of both swords and sabers!
At this moment, Ye Yang held the Evil King Blade in his left hand and the Dragon Abyss Sword in his right, clad in Star Armor, with starlight falling from above and the earth rumbling beneath his feet.
Behind him, an enormous phantom of Xuanwu slowly emerged, its tortoise and snake intertwined, carrying stars on its back, exuding supreme majesty that could suppress all ages and sweep across the eight wastelands.
His momentum was like a flood breaking through a dam, rising steadily and surging continuously.
"Even if you have some fighting skills, you're only at the mid-stage of the Thunder Tribulation realm. How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me?!"
Blood Demon Lord was completely enraged by Ye Yang's sudden outburst, and an uncontrollable fear quietly began to grow.
He laughed in anger, and crimson demonic energy surged from his body, spreading out like a blood-red curtain of sky.
Immediately afterwards, he rapidly formed hand seals in front of his chest.
With each hand seal, the surrounding demonic energy surged even more.
The overwhelming demonic energy condensed wildly above his head, and in an instant, it transformed into a gigantic battle blade that was hundreds of feet long, blood red, and terrifying.
The blade was covered with demonic runes, and vengeful spirits howled, carrying a world-destroying and universe-shattering power as it slashed down at Ye Yang!
"Blood Demon Slaying Heaven!"
This is the Blood Demon Lord's trump card, a deadly move powered by his own blood essence and demonic energy, with enough power to easily tear apart mountains and shatter peaks.
Even before the giant blade fell, the terrifying sense of oppression had already arrived.
The earth suddenly cracked open, and the fissures spread out like a ferocious giant python.
The space within a radius of several hundred feet trembled and twisted violently, as if it would collapse completely at any moment.
The remaining demon cultivators around them were all pale-faced and retreated repeatedly, fearing that they would be caught in the aftershocks and end up with nothing but bones.
Ye Yang's eyes remained cold, showing no fear whatsoever; instead, he advanced instead of retreating!
He stomped his foot hard, and the Star Armor shone brightly. He transformed into a dazzling shooting star that streaked across the long night, carrying endless starlight as he shot straight upwards.
"cut!"
There were no unnecessary frills, and no holding back whatsoever.
Ye Yang slashed horizontally with his Dragon Abyss Sword in his right hand and vertically with his Evil King Blade in his left. Two streaks of light, one blue and one black, burst forth simultaneously, instantly transforming into an enormous cross-shaped slash.
Blue represents the dragon, black represents evil. The cross slash tears through the void, severing the airflow. Wherever it passes, even space itself is left with a mark that cannot be healed for a long time.
The next moment, the slash and the giant blade collided with a deafening roar!
Rumble!!!
A deafening explosion rang out.
A terrifying shockwave emanated from the two individuals, sweeping wildly in all directions.
The air surged, starlight and demonic energy intertwined and collided, and the entire battlefield was violently shaking and on the verge of collapse.
Countless fine sword energies and blade beams burst forth, pouring down in all directions like a torrential rain.
Wherever it passed, hard rocks were instantly shattered.
"Such powerful sword and blade strength?!"
The expression of a powerful demon behind the Blood Demon Lord changed drastically, his pupils shrank, and his face was filled with disbelief.
In his view, even if this person was at the mid-stage of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm, it would be impossible for him to withstand the full force of the Blood Demon Lord's attack head-on.
But what he saw before him completely overturned his understanding.
Before the words were even finished!
hum!
In the void, countless cyan sword lights suddenly appeared, like countless cyan lotuses blooming in the sky, sharp, pure, and boundless.
The assassins deployed by the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal suddenly appeared.
Ten thousand sword lights from the Azure Lotus Sword Realm crashed down!
Taking advantage of the moment when Ye Yang clashed head-on with the Blood Demon Lord, he directly unleashed the Sword Realm's killing move, with sword light raining down, aimed directly at the group of powerful demons.
"Damn it! Join forces and kill them!"
Blood Demon Lord gritted his teeth and roared, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had been at a disadvantage in the previous clash.
He knew that this was a fight to the death, and if he held back any longer, everyone would die here.
At that moment, he held nothing back, and his demonic energy surged once more, with crimson demonic flames burning fiercely.
He and the five remaining powerful demons behind him attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of various demonic techniques.
Some transformed into blood-red giant claws, some condensed into demonic bone spears, and some stirred up the poisonous fire of the earth's core. The demonic energy surged like a black tide, covering the sky and the earth, and frantically crushed towards Ye Yang and the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal.
"go with!"
Seeing the demons charging towards him, Ye Yang let out a long roar to the sky. The Xuanwu phantom behind him, which had been quietly floating, suddenly opened its eyes, and its light surged.
The phantom of Xuanwu instantly expanded from tens of feet to a hundred feet in height!
A gigantic tortoise shell covered the sky, and as the snake's tail swayed, the wind and clouds changed color.
Xuanwu Suppresses the World – Suppressing Heaven and Earth!
boom!
An immense, oppressive force descended from the sky.
Within a three-zhang radius of Ye Yang, the airflow stagnated, the demonic energy solidified, and even the air itself became as heavy as lead.
The five powerful demons froze, their movements becoming incredibly slow, and the demonic energy surging around them was suppressed by more than 30%!
Suppressing one's cultivation and halting one's moves is tantamount to courting death in a life-or-death battle!
"A great opportunity!"
A glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal as he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
His movements were graceful, his clothes fluttering, and his fingertips touched lightly like butterflies flitting among flowers. His tone was indifferent, yet it carried an undeniable air of swordsmanship authority.
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to Their Origin!"
Within the Azure Lotus Sword Realm, countless azure sword lights converged like rivers flowing into the sea, all roaring and gathering together. (End of Chapter)
