Chapter 289 Stealing the Demon Sword

"The demonic seed... can't be sensed anymore?"

Lin Tianya's pupils contracted slightly, and a rare look of surprise appeared between his brows.

"A demonic seed of that scale beneath Tianhuang City simply vanished into thin air!?"

"Alliance Leader, please calm down."

The middle-aged palace master said with embarrassment, "We were just about to unseal the demonic seed, but we couldn't detect the slightest fluctuation of demonic energy through the thirty-six layers of restrictive array."

Even more strangely, the spiritual energy underground had become unusually thin.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianya's brows furrowed even more deeply.

Ignoring whether it would disturb the Holy Son of the Anger Clan, his boundless divine sense penetrated deep into the earth.

".Um!?"

A flicker of surprise flashed in Lin Tianya's eyes. "How could this be?"

He and the other palace masters have been staying in Tianhuang City day and night, guarding it day and night.

Let alone petty villains causing trouble in the shadows, even if a venerable being from the upper realm were to personally come, there would be no way to avoid the inescapable net they had laid inside and outside the city.

However, at this moment...
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth that Tianhuang City had accumulated for hundreds of years dissipated by more than 30% overnight, and even the vital Turbid World Demon Seed disappeared without a trace!

Anger gradually rose between Lin Tianya's brows.

Could it be that a powerful figure took advantage of his seclusion?
"Alliance Leader, what should we do now?"

The middle-aged palace master's face was grim: "The demon seed has disappeared, and this Heavenly Ceremony—"

"Don't panic."

Lin Tianya flicked his sleeve and said in a deep voice, "The four Demonic Seeds of Turbidity hidden in the city are enough to sustain the grand plan."

Boom!

Another deafening roar, like rocks splitting and clouds piercing, shook the palace and sent dust flying.

His gaze suddenly sharpened, and his consciousness surged forth like a tidal wave.

Crimson flames soared into the sky on the western horizon, and a condensed sword aura lingered for a long time.

"That is..." The palace masters looked at each other, surprised and uncertain.

With the Heavenly Soldiers about to be reforged, who would dare to stir up trouble and cause such a commotion at this moment?

"Go and suppress them immediately; do not interfere with the ceremony."

Upon hearing the alliance leader's stern order, the palace masters solemnly accepted the command and immediately led their spirit messengers away at full speed.

Lin Tianya's gaze swept over the distant celestial vessels, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.

"Could this be the work of the Anger Clan? It seems they were prepared for this."

In the blink of an eye, he subtly activated several secret arrays hidden within the city by performing hand seals.

"Very well, let's see who comes out on top!"

Inside the Qiongzhou of the Angry Clan——

An elderly man in fine clothes sat upright on a golden throne with a dragon's head, his face somber, his fingertips tapping the gilded armrests.

"Elder, there is still no news of Young Master Chengjiang."

The angry cultivator whispered, "Moreover, the attitude of the Heaven-Seizing Alliance is rather strange."

"Lin Tianya is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Once he forges the Heavenly Weapon, the Five Clans will have swift and decisive means to deal with him."

The elderly man in fine clothes frowned: "It's just that Jiang'er hasn't come out yet, and I'm worried that something might go wrong."

"We must send people deep underground."

"We must not act rashly." The old man in fine clothes waved his hand decisively: "Jiang'er's seclusion using the Demon Seed is a top secret, unknown to all four clans. Acting rashly will only alert the enemy."

"So now we..."

"Stay still for now."

The elderly man in fine clothes cast a cold glance over the distant jade boat. "Once the demons of the Dark Realm have gathered, we will proceed according to plan."

"—The situation is a bit strange."

Amidst the countless celestial ships, the astute forces have already sensed the undercurrents surging within Tianhuang City, foreshadowing an impending storm.

Many powerful families secretly tried to gauge the opinions of cultivators in the upper realm, only to discover that even these powerful figures were uncertain about the situation.

Although the heavenly army is about to be formed, all parties are on high alert, wary of any sudden change that may occur at any moment.

until—

boom!
A bolt of crimson lightning tore through the sky, causing tens of thousands of cultivators to tremble in their hearts!

"The Heavenly Tribulation has arrived!"

The sky was suddenly filled with tribulation clouds, which stirred up a terrifying aura that could destroy the world, and its power was even greater than that of an ordinary tribulation!

"What a terrifying aura of killing intent!"

On the Wen family's jade boat, the elder's gaze grew increasingly solemn. "How exactly was such a terrifying demonic weapon forged?"

The overwhelming killing intent solidified into a tangible form, sweeping across the heavens and earth like a blood-red tidal wave. Those with weaker cultivation levels were already ashen-faced and teetering on the verge of collapse.

In the center of the pitch-black sword platform, a scarlet demonic sword slowly floated into the air, its demonic patterns on the blade writhing like living creatures, radiating an astonishing sword intent!

Om-!
The hundreds of thousands of demonic swords planted around the sword platform hummed in unison, rising into the air as if summoned, and swirling and dancing as if paying homage to the demon lord.

In an instant, thousands of cultivators felt as if they had been struck a heavy blow to the heart, and their personal magical artifacts trembled and wailed uncontrollably.

"These heavenly soldiers are actually this ferocious... Hmm!?"

The peak experts of the various races suddenly changed color, their gazes sweeping across the four directions of Tianhuang City like lightning.

"There's a hidden array within the city; it's definitely a trap!" Before the words were even finished, several terrifying pressures erupted from the location of the five races, sweeping across the entire immortal city!
The expressions of the various races in the upper realm changed. Were these five races going to break off all pretense of civility at this moment?!
"Alliance Leader Lin—"

Within the jade boats of the Lotus Clan and the Locust Clan, a vast voice, piercing through the clouds, resounded simultaneously: "All parties have gathered; the time has come!"

Lin Tianya smiled slightly: "Thank you all for your help in suppressing the thirteen great clans of the Upper Realm."

Boom——!
Several powerful mystical techniques ripped through the sky, instantly bombarding the various races' jade boats in the upper realm, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into countless cages that descended upon the heavens.

"Humph!"

The races of the upper realm were prepared. The restrictions on the jade boat were fully activated, and countless runes and spiritual light surged like a reversed galaxy, fiercely confronting the sky-filling prison formation.

boom! boom! boom!
The sky above Tianhuang City transformed into a raging inferno, and a great battle was about to erupt.

The immortal sects and aristocratic families inside and outside the city were terrified, as they felt the strange fluctuations spreading for dozens of miles in an instant!

"What kind of bizarre and evil formation is this?!"

This sudden upheaval shocked even many immortal sects that were secretly colluding with the Heaven-Seizing Alliance, leaving them looking around in panic.

However, the members of the Heaven-Seizing Alliance had already disappeared, and had all gathered around the Ascension Platform, forming a formidable battle formation.

"Everyone, please be patient."

The Heavenly Alliance Master's voice rang out coldly: "The birth of a heavenly weapon requires a massive amount of spiritual energy as a sacrifice. To obtain a divine weapon, this is the only way."

"What nonsense!"

A shirtless cultivator, his hair standing on end in fury, shouted angrily, "The Heaven-Seizing Alliance is infamous! Who doesn't know it! Withdraw your formation immediately, or else..."

His angry expression suddenly froze, strange bloodshot veins appeared in the whites of his eyes, and his tone abruptly changed:
"For the sake of these demonic soldiers, you must act swiftly. If you dare to harbor any disloyalty, all the millions of cultivators present will ensure the complete annihilation of your Heavenly Alliance."

"Um!?"

This bizarre turn of events secretly alarmed many powerful figures.

The Yangtianmen elder and the Duotian Alliance harbored a deep-seated hatred for each other; how could they suddenly...
"Get away from the sword platform immediately!"

Inside a spirit boat belonging to a celestial sect, the white-haired old man suddenly opened his eyes: "This sword steals souls and devours spirits, corrupting hearts with demonic thoughts. If you linger here, you will surely become a puppet under its blade!"

Upon hearing this, the thousands of cultivators paled and hurriedly urged their spirit boats to flee.

However, as soon as he moved, he felt as if he were trapped in a quagmire, firmly imprisoned by an invisible force!
"What kind of tactic is this!?"

As the earth trembled violently, countless black tentacles burst forth from the ground, sweeping across Tianhuang City like raging pythons.

The Heavenly Soldier Demon Sword hangs high in the sky, devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a hundred miles, and pouring down a thousand feet of filthy demonic light.

"This is bad!" The Wen family and other cultivators from the upper realm were greatly alarmed.

They never expected that the Heaven-Seizing Alliance would actually dare to turn all the immortal sects of the Five Desolate Domains into sword puppets!

Just as everyone was about to make a move, the powerful figures from the five races suddenly appeared and intercepted them, clearly intending to help the Demon Sword appear in the world.

"Are you all insane?!"

Whether he is mad or not remains to be seen.

Faced with the questioning, the cultivators from the five races all revealed meaningful smiles.

However, when they turned back to look at Lin Tianya on the Ascension Platform, a chilling glint flashed in their eyes.

"It seems that Lin Tianya has tampered with the Demon Sword, and can even control the soul?"

"He just said that this sword should belong to the capable person; could it be that he intends to..."

"It's alright, we can take it after the Demon Sword is sharpened."

"Very good, that's how it should be!"

Lin Tianya surveyed the surroundings, a mysterious smile playing on his lips, his fingers forming ever-changing hand seals.

"Cultivators from the Upper Realm, cultivators from the Five Desolate Domains, hurry and seize this sword!"

Amidst the myriad swords surrounding it, the Heavenly Soldier Demon Sword emitted an excited hum, and waves of demonic power swept across the heavens and earth like raging tides.

The cultivators from all sides struggled to hold on, but their eyes gradually turned crimson as they stared intently at the increasingly eerie demonic sword.

"Then--"

Lin Tianya slammed his palms together: "Paving the way for my ascension to immortality!"

Boom!

Within Tianhuang City, a towering tower suddenly shattered without warning.

A figure moved faster than a thunderbolt, carrying immense pressure as it tore through the air. It treated the hundreds of thousands of guardian demonic swords as nothing, tearing open the sword curtain with its bare hands and grabbing the scarlet sword hilt!
Om-!
An indescribable, terrifying torrent swept across, forcefully pushing back the crimson burgeoning in everyone's eyes.

"Varied"

The members of the Heaven-Seizing Alliance, the powerful figures of the five races, and even all the cultivators who still retained their rationality were all horrified at this moment.

Someone actually forcibly took away the Heavenly Soldier Demon Sword!?

Tsk-!
The moment the demonic sword was restrained, a furious backlash of crimson demonic lightning erupted from the sky.

But the swordsman remained unmoved, his body bursting with silver flames, which actually suppressed the terrifying demonic power!
next moment!
He swung his right arm violently, slamming the Heavenly Soldier Demon Sword that drove countless people mad down onto the dark sword platform below!

Boom!
The demonic sword crashed down like a blood-red meteor, shattering the entire thousand-foot-tall sword platform. Hundreds of thousands of demonic swords surrounding it fell with mournful cries.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a figure in a black robe stood suspended in mid-air, gradually revealing his true form.

"Everyone——"

Su Cheng shattered the blood-red lightning in his palm and looked down at the horrified faces on the Ascension Platform.

Facing countless gazes from all directions, he slightly raised the corners of his lips, his voice resounding calmly and steadily through the heavens:
"This sword is acceptable."

"Now, it's mine."
