Chapter 310 The Obedience Test of the Dark Spring

Youquan stared calmly at Zhao Yifu for a while, then suddenly said, "Since you have already submitted, why not kneel down?"

Zhao Yifu slightly opened his eyes. Good heavens, as soon as Youquan arrived, he didn't care about anything else, and the first thing he did was to completely subdue him.
This undoubtedly reflects Youquan's high regard for Zhao Yifu.

It was precisely because Zhao Yifu was so capable and had always done things so exceptionally well, yet was also so opinionated that he had never been completely controlled by Youquan, that Youquan's first task upon his arrival was to completely subdue Zhao Yifu!
Standing at the top of the Heavenly Prison, Zhao Yifu respectfully bowed and said, "Your Excellency, I am willing to obey your orders, and I ask that Your Excellency give me the same respect."

Youquan glanced at Zhao Yifu indifferently, then said in a cold tone, "If you don't kneel, you die!"

After a pause, seemingly realizing that what she had said was indeed too heartless, Youquan added, "It's not just you who will die; all your loved ones will be buried with you, and even those who have already died will never be able to be reincarnated!"

Zhao Yifu listened in silence, knowing that Venerable Youquan was capable of doing so.

However, there are conditions for achieving this, namely, He must first seize the authority over this heaven and earth.

Clearly, He had complete confidence in the arrival of the Dark Spring.

Zhao Yifu paused for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "If that's the case... I'm sorry, Venerable One, I don't even know who else I care about."

He revealed a heartless and treacherous smile.

Youquan said calmly, "Oh? Is that so?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually pointed...

The next moment, the finger had already selected the Demon-Subduing Emperor, who was watching the situation with worry.

A gray energy stream shot out and struck directly at the Demon-Subduing Emperor.

Zhao Yifu's heart tightened upon seeing this.

However, the Demon-Subduing Emperor's performance was astonishing.

He swung his sword at the gray energy flow, and with a single strike, he unleashed the power of heaven and earth, forcefully pushing the energy flow back.

"what?"

Youquan was stunned for a moment.

The Demon-Subduing Emperor was also taken aback.

Zhao Yifu himself was also taken aback for a moment.

It turns out that this seemingly powerful attack wasn't actually that strong!

Zhao Yifu suddenly realized that Youquan was actually so 'weak'!
His eyes flashed with a very dangerous light.

Without hesitation, he drew his killing blade and then spoke gently to the enormous Youquan, saying, "Venerable One, since you like to rule your subordinates with tyranny, then you must not let your subordinates seize the opportunity!"

As he spoke, he unleashed a powerful and fierce slash.

This strike had no additional elements; it was purely imbued with the essence of the sword.

"Bastard!"

Youquan immediately waved his hand and slapped Zhao Yifu as if he wanted to kill him like an ant.

however……

His hand met the sharp blade, and was instantly sliced ​​open...

Half of the hand, along with two fingers, fell off.

Since Zhao Yifu had already drawn his sword, he had completely let go of his inhibitions.

He activated the blood sacrifice mode...

A bloody light appeared on the Killing Blade. The severed hand was as large as a city gate, but it was quickly sacrificed and transformed into the purest primordial power, which flowed into the Killing Blade.

The sword that had accompanied Zhao Yifu since his time in the mortal realm received an epic enhancement at this moment.

To be honest, Zhao Yifu never expected that he could split Youquan's body in two with a single strike, and that sacrificing Youquan's body with blood would have such a miraculous effect.

His killing blade now carried a refined, precious light, and even faintly carried the aura of the laws of heaven.

This is amazing.

Zhao Yifu vaguely understood some of the reasons.

That is, this dark spring thought itself very strong, and of course, its will was indeed very strong.

However, His will was vast in size but had not been tempered.

This will, which has long existed in the dark void, exists between nothingness and existence. Even its own existence is uncertain, so how can its will be tempered?
Therefore, the Demon-Subduing Emperor could use his boundless fighting spirit to catalyze a single strike that would sever Youquan's offensive, and Zhao Yifu could similarly cleave Youquan's body in two with a single strike.

As for Youquan's body... that's even more extraordinary.

That is equivalent to a divine body that is equal to all innate deities!

The innate deities of the Three Realms have indeed become powerful rulers, but what were they doing when they first took human form in the primordial era?

Of course, we should just lie low!
Youquan didn't back down; he believed that once he had a physical body in the Three Realms, he would be invincible.

Zhao Yifu's blood sacrifice just now was equivalent to using the flesh and blood of the innate sacred as a sacrifice to exchange for the opportunity to strengthen his killing blade.

Thus, the Heavenly Dao, the object of the sacrifice, was greatly 'pleased'.

This ethereal being never expected that anyone in this world would do such a wasteful thing, so it responded accordingly.

The Killing Blade thus acquired a divine quality, gaining the qualification to bear the laws of Heaven. However, it is unknown which specific law of Heaven it will bear; for now, it only possesses this qualification.

So what else is there to say?
Madness appeared in Zhao Yifu's eyes.

Since we've already offended them, we have no choice but to fight to the end!

He also drew the Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Sword with his other hand.

Then, wielding both weapons, he charged headlong into the still-unconscious Youquan.

Before Venerable Youquan could recover from the fact that he had actually become weaker after descending into the Three Realms, he saw Zhao Yifu charging forward like a mad dog.

"Asshole, bastard!"

Zhao Yifu, like a skilled butcher, continuously sliced ​​off pieces of flesh soaked with golden divine blood from Youquan's body with his sword and then offered them up as a sacrifice.

The Heavenly Dao also responded, and his swords were simultaneously empowered by a magical law.

Seeing Zhao Yifu's crazed and bloodthirsty appearance, Youquan no longer cared about the harsh words he had said earlier.

The enormous divine body tried to resist, but it seemed utterly futile and helpless.

Because at this point, His enormous body had become an obstacle to all responses.

In particular, He realized that He had not adapted to the techniques of the Three Realms Laws at all, so that He could only use the dark source power to bombard the enemy.

Although this method is applicable to most scenarios, it is ineffective against Zhao Yifu, who also possesses dark energy.

Zhao Yifu's understanding of the dark source power has reached a very deep level. At this moment, his understanding of how the dark source power works in the Three Realms even surpasses that of Youquan!
After he cut off Youquan's arm, his swords could no longer penetrate his defenses when they struck him again.

This was because Youquan had rapidly completed a cognitive upgrade, allowing the dark source power to comprehensively enhance his body at a more microscopic level. Zhao Yifu, seeing that his sword could no longer cut through anything, was just about to give up.

As a result, at this moment, the Heavenly Dao Laws within his Killing Blade, which had been enhanced to the extreme through blood sacrifice, and the Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Sword were fully formed...

The law of killing arises from the blade: cessation of thought.

The Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Sword's Law: Devastate.

It seems that because of the boundless and powerful spiritual will of Youquan, the two laws obtained from this blood sacrifice are also related to spiritual will.

【止念】 means to stop the thought, which is related to Zhao Yifu's practice of using the Killing Blade to 'exorcise' the souls of the dead, or rather, greatly enhances this ability.

Since one has “stopped all thoughts,” then naturally there is no “resentment.” It can be said to be a little-known rule that seems to be specifically used for deliverance.

【Disintegration of the Gods】is used to break down the enemy's spirit and will, and should be highly effective in combat.

If [Crushing God] is used to break through the enemy's defenses, and [Stopping Thoughts] is used for the final blow, then it seems like a dragon that can be used for the next life.

So his Pure Yang Demon-Subduing Sword pierced Youquan's waist once more...

This sword strike, under the effect of [God Shattering], actually broke through Youquan's defense!

This is because this sword strike easily broke the Nether Spring's control over the dark source power.

Then Zhao Yifu dug out that colorful kidney.

He wanted to continue the blood sacrifice, but at that moment he heard a voice in his ear: "This thing has another use."

After listening for a while, Zhao Yifu stopped.

After so many blood sacrifices, the improvement in his swordsmanship was already very limited. Since the sect seemed to have another use for this large kidney, he decided to keep it.

So he stuffed the seven-colored kidney into his sleeve, and then looked at Youquan with the eyes of a butcher, wondering if Youquan's 'heart, liver, spleen and lungs' were also useful.
Youquan was terrified by that gaze and no longer cared about causing trouble for Zhao Yifu. His huge body suddenly trembled, and then Sumeru turned into a mustard seed and disappeared from the spot.

He had had enough of being chased and hacked by Zhao Yifu because of his enormous size. But in such a short time, he had already mastered such supernatural powers, which was truly remarkable.

To be honest, Youquan is a bit too arrogant. He just arrived in the Three Realms and doesn't know anything yet, but he already wants to seize power. Most importantly, he actually wants to put Zhao Yifu through some kind of 'obedience test'?
This won't do! Just do it!
Zhao Yifu was extremely displeased upon seeing this. Youquan was now his mortal enemy, so how could he run away?
They were about to give chase.

Just as he was about to continue his pursuit of Youquan, a moderate-weight bolt of lightning struck him on the head.

After a thunderous roar, Zhao Yifu smoothed his spiky hair and looked up at the sky.

Then he saw Marshal Xin of the Thunder Department staring intently at him from the sky.

At this moment, the Demon-Subduing Emperor leisurely said, "You audacious madman, how dare you release a serious criminal from the Heavenly Prison! If I hadn't been seriously injured in my battle with Youquan just now, I would have personally taken action to capture you and bring you to justice!"

Zhao Yifu then realized his problem.

Good heavens, he thought that he had done enough by obeying Youquan and releasing so many prisoners, but he didn't expect that Youquan would conduct some kind of obedience test. Doesn't this mean that all his efforts have been in vain?
Not only was it all for nothing, but it also made him a person who had violated the heavenly rules, the kind of person that even if others wanted to help, they couldn't.

Zhao Yifu felt he had been ripped off, ripped off big time!

As for the supreme-level swords and blades he obtained through blood sacrifice?
He carved those out with his own skill!
At this moment, he looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds rolling in layers.

And each of the dark clouds, filled with divine retribution, was also filled with heavenly soldiers and generals.

"The Demon-Subduing Emperor has already fought a fierce battle. Why don't we take the Demon-Subduing Guards back to the Heavenly Court to rest? Let me, the commander, deal with the rebellion here."

The speaker held a bright yellow sword in his right hand and a delicate pagoda in his left.

This is Li Jing, the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army, the God of War of Heaven, and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

His words at this moment were not just what they seemed on the surface; more importantly, they reflected his distrust of the Demon-Subduing Emperor… Now, who in the Heavenly Court didn't know that Zhao Yifu and the Demon-Subduing Emperor were inseparable?
Zhao Yifu chuckled and retorted, "Interesting. Why didn't you come when Youquan appeared earlier?"

His questioning was indeed quite sharp.

But before Zhao Yifu could finish speaking, the Demon-Subduing Emperor had already ordered his subordinates, "Let's retreat!"

The prison-suppressing deity said, "Your Majesty, this is my duty..."

The Demon-Subduing Emperor said calmly, "Come along. This Heavenly Prison is now only in name. You and the Prison Suppression Camp should return to the Demon-Subduing Guard."

The prison-suppressing general hesitated for a moment, but still replied, "Yes."

The Demon-Subduing Guards returned to the sky together, their movements perfectly synchronized, demonstrating their excellent training.

He left decisively, without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, Li Jing's 100,000 heavenly soldiers surrounded Zhao Yifu and the remaining prisoners of the Heavenly Prison.

Zhao Yifu asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Ao Jia, in his handsome human form, came to his side and said proudly, "I have always rebelled against Heaven. Now, I am fortunate to be able to fight against the Heavenly Court again under the command of the Warden!"

A group of sea monsters showed excited expressions and cheered and roared.

Some powerful demons at the eighth level quietly slipped away, but Old Bull stayed behind.

It said, "I have been prepared for everything since I started fighting the heavenly soldiers for the monkey. I just didn't expect that the monkey could be exonerated... This time, I am all alone and have no brothers in my clan to hold me back. I can fight to my heart's content."

The headless great shaman Xing Tian said, "I'm just about to storm the Heavenly Court and cut off the head of the Heavenly Emperor!"

Zhao Yifu nodded, it seemed that everyone was mentally prepared.

However, in his view, there was clearly a reason why these prisoners were arrested.

Why?

He's brainless.

They never considered what the purpose of this battle was, or to what extent it should go; they only wanted to fight and kill.

Of course, Zhao Yifu was different; he would think...

He paused for a moment, then realized: What's the point of thinking about it now? Let's win first!

As for how to do it?
Without the slightest hesitation, he pointed at Li Jing and said, "Senior Xing Tian, ​​Ao Jia, you two attack that exquisite pagoda together and make sure to smash it to pieces."

Xing Tian and Ao Jia were both surprised, but neither raised any objections.

Ao Jia then said, "Warden, the Heavenly Court's army formation is formidable, and they are also accompanied by divine punishment. I'm afraid we won't be able to easily break through to that side..."

Zhao Yifu said, "We'll only know after we fight it."

He was quite confident about this, after all, he knew a lot about the Heavenly Court's military formation... all of which Yang Jian had 'unintentionally revealed' during their conversation.

However, to break through this military formation, he would need an iron army that he could completely control...

Zhao Yifu glanced at the 'rabble' around him with a sigh, thinking to himself that he really had no choice but to 'fight them first'.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Ao Jia, can you still command your sea monster army?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Jia could only nod solemnly and say, "Let's give it a try."
