The crimson light shooting into the sky above Qingya Mountain resembled an inverted sword, dyeing the entire sky an eerie crimson. Fu Shaoping stared at the constantly twisting and changing crimson runes, and the Qing Shuang Sword and Tian Xuan Sword simultaneously emitted a resonant hum.
"These runes..." Nangong Xuan's expression turned extremely solemn, "...are the activation seal of the ancient blood sacrifice array!"
Nangong Wan quickly retrieved the Xuantian Sect's secret manual, the "Heavenly Secrets Strategy," and after rapidly examining it, exclaimed in shock, "Master, this is the 'Nine Nether Blood Seal,' a legendary ancient forbidden technique that can open a passage to the Demon Realm!"
Fu Shaoping felt a sudden, intense burning pain in the blue lines on his arm, and the sword soul power within his body surged uncontrollably towards the Azure Frost Sword. The Heavenly Profound Sword also emitted a rapid tremor, as if warning him of something.
"Shaoping!" Nangong Xuan grabbed his disciple's arm. "What is your sword spirit sensing?"
Fu Shaoping gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain in his arm: "Master, I feel... it's guiding me to Qingya Mountain. The runes resonate with the Qing Shuang Sword, just like... just like the feeling I had back in the Poisonous Dragon Cave!"
Before the words were even finished, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from the direction of Qingya Mountain. The entire mountain shook violently, and a huge crack appeared at its summit, from which pitch-black demonic energy poured down like a waterfall!
"Not good!" Nangong Xuan suddenly waved his whisk. "The Blood Fiend Sect's true target isn't the Xuantian Sect, but the ruins deep within Qingya Mountain!"
The three immediately flew towards Qingya Mountain on their swords. During the journey, Fu Shaoping coughed up blood continuously, the blue lines on his arms had spread to his neck, and his aura became intermittent.
"Shaoping!" Nangong Wan cried out anxiously, "You can't hold on!"
Fu Shaoping shook his head, forcing himself to stand upright: "Master, Wanmei, I must go. The Azure Frost Sword is calling me; there lies a way to completely annihilate the Blood Fiend Sect!"
Nangong Xuan gave his disciple a deep look, and finally nodded: "Alright, we'll go together. However..." He took out an ancient jade talisman, "This is the Xuantian Sect's treasured artifact, the 'Xuantian Protective Talisman,' which can temporarily stabilize your injuries."
Fu Shaoping took the jade talisman and felt a warm power instantly flow through his body. The blue patterns on his arm temporarily stabilized, and the sword soul power within his body also became much smoother.
When they arrived at Qingya Mountain, the scene before them was breathtaking—the entire mountain had been completely transformed. A massive black vortex had appeared at the summit, from which countless crimson chains hung and coiled around a huge stone tablet. The tablet was covered with ancient crimson runes, and in its very center floated a beating crimson heart!
"Blood Fiend Demon Core!" Nangong Xuan recognized the heart. "This is a collection of the demon cores of the Blood Fiend Sect's past sect leaders. I never expected they would..."
Suddenly, a piercing laugh echoed from the black vortex. A figure clad in black robes slowly rose—it was none other than the Blood Shadow Demon Lord, who should have been dead!
"Welcome to the Land of Ending." The Blood Shadow Demon Lord grinned maliciously, his voice seemingly carrying the wails of countless souls. "Today, let the Demon Realm passage be fully opened!"
Fu Shaoping felt the Azure Frost Sword tremble violently, as if it were resonating with something. He closed his eyes, and his divine sense followed the power of the sword's spirit to probe. A scene appeared in his mind: deep within the stone tablet, a golden light was flashing.
"Master, there's something under the stone tablet!" Fu Shaoping suddenly shouted.
Nangong Xuan understood and quickly formed a hand seal: "Mysterious Heaven Formation Breaking Technique!"
With a deafening roar, the seal on the stone tablet was forcibly broken. A dazzling golden light shot out from the bottom of the tablet and directly entered Fu Shaoping's body. Fu Shaoping felt a surge of immense power flow into his meridians, and his sword soul power instantly skyrocketed!
"This is... the power of the Jade Disc of the Void?" Fu Shaoping was overjoyed, and his Azure Frost Sword and Heavenly Profound Sword simultaneously emitted a clear and melodious sound.
The Blood Shadow Demon Lord was shocked upon seeing this: "Impossible! Wasn't the Jade Disc of the Void already..."
The fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord suddenly darted out from the shadows; it was actually another Blood Shadow Demon Lord!
"Hand over your power!" The fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord lunged forward with a sinister grin.
Fu Shaoping was prepared, and blocked with his Azure Frost Sword in front of his chest: "Child's play!" The Azure Frost Sword clashed with the fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord's demonic sword, bursting into dazzling sparks. However, the fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord's strength far exceeded expectations, and after a few moves, Fu Shaoping was at a disadvantage.
At the critical moment, the Heavenly Profound Sword suddenly emitted a clear and melodious cry, and a golden light shot out from the stone tablet, directly entering Fu Shaoping's body! Fu Shaoping felt a surge of immense power flow into his meridians, and the sword soul power within his body instantly surged!
"This is... the Heavenly Profound Sword has recognized its master?" Fu Shaoping was overjoyed. The Azure Frost Sword in his hand resonated with the Heavenly Profound Sword, and the two swords simultaneously emitted a clear and melodious sound.
The fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord was shocked: "Impossible! How could the Heavenly Profound Sword recognize a master as yours, kid!"
Fu Shaoping did not answer, but instead raised the Heavenly Profound Sword high: "Profound Yang Sword Technique - Heaven and Earth Live Together!"
The Heavenly Profound Sword and the Azure Frost Sword simultaneously emitted dazzling light, and two sword energies, like rainbows, went straight for the fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord! The fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord hastily parried, but was struck by the two sword energies at the same time, and his whole body fell like a broken doll!
"No!!!" The fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord let out a shrill scream as his body exploded in mid-air, turning into countless black fragments.
At the same time, the Blood Shadow Demon Lord outside the mountain gate let out a roar of unwilling anger: "No! I am not reconciled!" His body began to wither rapidly, eventually turning into a dried corpse and falling from mid-air.
With the fall of the two Blood Shadow Demon Lords, the demonic energy shrouding Mount Qingya rapidly dissipated. The black vortex began to slowly close, and the crimson runes gradually dimmed.
However, at that moment, the blood-red heart on the stone tablet suddenly began to beat violently, and an even more powerful demonic energy surged out from the depths of the vortex!
"Not good!" Nangong Xuan's expression changed drastically. "The true Blood Fiend Sect Master is not dead yet!"
Fu Shaoping felt the Azure Frost Sword tremble violently, as if it were resonating with something. He closed his eyes, his divine sense probing along the power of the sword's soul, and a scene appeared in his mind: deep within the vortex, a gigantic figure was slowly awakening.
A deafening roar erupted from the black vortex, causing the entire Green Cliff Mountain to shake violently, rocks to crumble, and dust to billow. The Azure Frost Sword and the Heavenly Profound Sword in Fu Shaoping's hands simultaneously emitted piercing, mournful cries, their blades trembling violently as if gripped by some terrifying force.
"This...this is..." Nangong Xuan's face turned deathly pale. "The Demon Realm passage is about to fully open!" At the center of the blood-red vortex, a colossal figure slowly emerged. It was a giant clad in black armor, with two crimson flames burning beneath its helmet, wielding a massive sword shrouded in black mist. With each step it took, a deep abyss split open in the ground, and the air was filled with suffocating demonic energy.
"Finally...it's out!" The Demon Lord's voice, like the roar of a thousand demons, shook everyone's eardrums. "The three-thousand-year seal will finally be broken today!"
Fu Shaoping felt the sword soul power within his body surging wildly, and both the Azure Frost Sword and the Heavenly Profound Sword emitted dazzling light simultaneously. He struggled to maintain his balance, but his voice trembled uncontrollably: "Master...this is...the Demon Lord?"
Nangong Xuan nodded solemnly: "The legendary Demon Lord, who ruled over all demons, was sealed here by the ancestors of the Xuantian Sect in conjunction with powerful figures from the Immortal Realm. I never imagined the Blood Fiend Sect was merely his pawn!"
The moment the Demon Lord descended, the entire space of Qingya Mountain began to distort. Countless blood-red chains descended from the vortex, corroding the surrounding rocks into dust. The Xuantian Sect disciples corrupted by the demonic energy turned into blood the instant the chains touched them, merging into the demonic energy.
"Shaoping!" Nangong Wan suddenly exclaimed, "Your arm!"
Fu Shaoping looked down and saw that the blue patterns on his arm had completely turned blood red, writhing like living things. Even more terrifying, his eyes began to flash with an eerie blue light uncontrollably, and the sword soul power within his body seemed to be trying to break free of its restraints!
"Master, I can't control myself anymore!" Fu Shaoping knelt down in anguish, with the Azure Frost Sword and the Heavenly Profound Sword floating beside him, the runes on the swords moving like living things.
At this critical moment, the Heavenly Profound Sword suddenly emitted a clear, resonant cry, and a golden light shot out from its blade, directly piercing the cyan mark between Fu Shaoping's brows. Fu Shaoping felt a cool power surge into his body, instantly suppressing the violent force.
"This is... the will of the Heavenly Profound Sword?" Fu Shaoping was surprised to find that he could actually communicate with the outside world through the Heavenly Profound Sword.
The Demon Lord seemed to sense something, and an angry roar erupted from beneath his狰狞 mask: "Mere humans, how dare you defy me?" He suddenly raised his greatsword and slashed down at the crowd!
"boom!"
The moment the giant sword struck, the entire space seemed to be torn apart. Nangong Xuan swiftly activated his Xuan Tian Protective Technique, unleashing a golden light barrier before everyone. However, the Demon Lord's attack was far too powerful; the golden light barrier was torn apart like paper, and the powerful shockwave sent everyone flying!
Fu Shaoping steadied himself in mid-air, his Azure Frost Sword and Heavenly Profound Sword emitting dazzling light simultaneously. He endured the excruciating pain within his body, channeling all his power into his twin swords: "Profound Yang Sword Technique - Heaven and Earth as One!"
Two sword energies, like rainbows, aimed straight for the Demon Lord's throat and heart. The Demon Lord neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the sword energies to strike his body. Yet, at the seemingly fatal wounds, black mist writhed, and in a short time, the wounds were completely healed!
"Useless!" the Demon Lord laughed wildly, sweeping his giant sword horizontally. "I am immortal!"
At the critical moment, the cyan mark between Fu Shaoping's brows suddenly erupted with dazzling light. The Heavenly Profound Sword and the Azure Frost Sword simultaneously emitted a clear, resonant cry. As if summoned by some unseen force, the runes on their blades moved as if alive, ultimately transforming into a beam of cyan-gold light that shot straight into the sky!
The Demon Lord let out a painful roar, his body, struck by the pillar of light, trembling violently. He frantically swung his greatsword, trying to destroy the pillar of light, but to no avail. Within the pillar of light, a blurry figure could be vaguely seen—it was none other than the legendary first leader of the Xuan Tian Sect!
"Three thousand years have passed," the illusory figure spoke slowly, its voice like a celestial sound, "Finally, this moment has arrived."
The Demon Lord roared in despair: "No!!!"
With a deafening explosion, the Demon Lord's body shattered like a broken doll. Even more astonishingly, however, his fragments of flesh reformed in mid-air, transforming into countless black butterflies that flew in all directions!
"Escape!" Nangong Xuan grabbed Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan. "These are the Demon Lord's demonic seeds; they must be completely eradicated!"
The three flew off in different directions on their swords. The Azure Frost Sword and the Heavenly Profound Sword drew perfect arcs in the air, slaying all the pursuing demonic seeds. However, more demonic seeds were rapidly multiplying, quickly forming a black ocean!
"Shaoping!" Nangong Wan suddenly exclaimed, "Your arm!"
Fu Shaoping looked down and saw that the blood-red lines on his arm had spread to his entire body, and black liquid seemed to be flowing beneath his skin. Even more terrifying, his consciousness began to blur, and the sword spirit power within him seemed to be being devoured by some force!
At this critical moment, the Heavenly Profound Sword suddenly emitted a clear, resonant cry, and a beam of golden light shot out from its blade, directly entering Fu Shaoping's body. Fu Shaoping felt a cool power surge into his meridians, instantly suppressing the violent force.
"This is... the will of the Heavenly Profound Sword?" Fu Shaoping was surprised to find that he could actually communicate with the outside world through the Heavenly Profound Sword.
"Shaoping, listen to me!" Nangong Xuan's voice suddenly rang in his mind, "Use your sword spirit power, in conjunction with the Heavenly Profound Sword, to unleash the 'Mysterious Heaven Sword Formation'!"
Fu Shaoping forced himself to his feet, and both the Azure Frost Sword and the Heavenly Profound Sword emitted dazzling light simultaneously. He poured all his power into the two swords: "Mysterious Heaven Sword Formation - Heaven and Earth Live Together!"
In an instant, all the sword energy within a hundred miles was drawn in, forming a massive sword array in the air. Within the array, Fu Shaoping stood like a war god, the Azure Frost Sword and the Heavenly Profound Sword transforming into two pillars of light in his hands, purifying all the demonic seeds filling the sky!
"No!!!"
The Demon Lord's roars echoed from all directions, but it was too late. As the last demon seed was purified, the entire Green Cliff Mountain suddenly trembled violently, and a massive spatial rift appeared before everyone.
"The Demon Realm passage is about to close!" Nangong Wan exclaimed in surprise.
Fu Shaoping felt the lines on his arm rapidly fading, and the sword spirit power within him gradually subsiding. He knew this was the final moment.
"Master, Wanmei," Fu Shaoping turned around with difficulty, "take good care of Father for me."
Before he could finish speaking, his body transformed into a streak of azure light, rushing towards the spatial rift. In his final moments, he seemed to see the anxious figures of Nangong Xuan and Nangong Wan, and the tearful light shimmering on the Heavenly Profound Sword.
The spatial rift slowly closed like the jaws of a giant beast, and Fu Shaoping's figure disappeared into the dark vortex. Above Qingya Mountain, the last glimmer of light from the crimson runes also dissipated. Nangong Xuan and Nangong Wan stood atop the mountain, gazing at the gradually healing spatial rift, speechless for a long time.
"Shaoping, he..." Nangong Wan's voice choked in his throat. The Purple Lightning Sword hung limply at his side, the jade beads on the tassel swaying gently, reflecting fragmented light.
Nangong Xuan sighed deeply, lightly waving his whisk to brush the dust from their shoulders: "The sword spirit is gone, but the heroic spirit lives on. Shaoping used himself as a medium to seal the Demon Lord within the sword formation; this sacrifice deserves to be remembered forever." (End of Chapter)
