In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Since you have the merit to dispel the evil energy, then the Ancestral Sword will be given to you, so that it may be considered that the virtuous should possess it.

However, your realm far surpasses that of immortals, and you have mastered many ancient divine abilities. Your strength is no less than that of the ancient war gods of the celestial realm today. I hope you will refrain from waging war recklessly in the Divine Continent!

"Thank you, Great Goddess! I will certainly take it upon myself to protect the earth and safeguard all living beings, and live up to the expectations of the Great Goddess Nuwa!"

By this time, everyone was numb, especially the people from Youdu.

If it weren't for the fact that they personally summoned the phantom of Nuwa, everyone would have thought this was a dreamlike conversation.

I never expected the young sword immortal before me to be so terrifyingly powerful. Not only has he reached the Dao Integration Realm, but his combat strength is even comparable to that of the ancient war gods of the Heavenly Realm.

You must know that he was an ancient war god, the number one expert in the Three Realms.

Chapter 1004 The Murderous Sword Finally Obtained

Within the phantom image of the Nuwa statue, a golden light shot into the heavens.

Suddenly, the wind and clouds churned, the sky and earth darkened, and a magnificent and radiant temple appeared atop Kunlun Mountain in what was once a silent and boundless void.

Immediately, a terrifying blood-red sword light pierced through the heavens and earth within the temple, leading into the Netherworld Temple.

It was a terrifying demonic sword with overwhelming magical power and domineering sword energy.

The ferocious and bloodthirsty, yet dazzlingly sharp, sword was forged from ancient divine iron and the essence of the five elements, and was created through a blood sacrifice by the first swordsmith of ancient times.

Its shimmering gold surface is covered with intricately crafted divine patterns, while also radiating an eerie and ferocious blood-red light. At a glance, a savage, brutal, and all-consuming malice instantly surges into one's mind.

go with!

The Ancestral Sword had just been born, and the malevolent energy it generated was in no way inferior to that of the Blood Demon.

To prevent the evil aura of the Ancestral Sword from affecting the land of China, the young sword immortal immediately summoned the Yuan "Nine-Zero-Three" Divine Celebration Cloud, which enveloped the entire Nuwa Palace and temporarily suppressed the evil aura of the Ancestral Sword.

As the primordial spirit suppressed the evil aura of the ancestral sword, the evil aura that had just begun to permeate the world suddenly vanished, and the clouds dispersed once more, revealing a bright and sunny day.

"What a sword!"

Compared to the Burning Sword, the Ancestral Sword's malevolent aura is ten or even a hundred times stronger, no wonder it can kill gods.

In particular, the divine iron sword body, which incorporates the innate five elements, is so sharp that it can destroy any tangible thing in the three realms, making it indestructible and capable of breaking through anything.

Even the bodies of gods are ordinary.

However, Fuxi was an ancient deity on par with Nuwa.

Therefore, even though Chi You possessed the power to kill gods, he ultimately failed and his efforts were in vain.

Now that the Primordial Demon Sword has been born, its crimson aura surges like the tides of the ocean, sweeping everything away.

As everyone barely managed to withstand the domineering malevolent aura, the young sword immortal released his primordial spirit auspicious cloud, suppressing the malevolent aura surrounding the Ancestral Sword. At the same time, he walked alone towards the Ancestral Sword, and to everyone's astonishment, the young man grasped the surging malevolent aura of the Ancestral Sword in one hand.

At this moment, the black sword mark between the boy's brows lit up again.

The crimson aura surrounding the Ancestral Sword, capable of corroding everything and driving all beings mad, was instantly absorbed and condensed by the black sword imprint.

At the same time, the sword hilt being gripped also aroused the latent ferocity of the ancestral sword.

In an instant, following the boy's arm, the Ancestral Sword injected a powerful and domineering sword aura, filled with destructive intent, into the boy's body, intending to annihilate him from the inside out.

However, the sword energy entering the body instantly triggered a counterattack from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Seal.

The foundation of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Technique is the innate killing sword energy, which is no less domineering than the ancestral sword energy. Moreover, the young man has the primordial spirit auspicious cloud protecting him.

Therefore, the sword energy failed to achieve its purpose, and the trembling and struggling blade of the Ancestral Sword was once again flashing with golden divine patterns.

Immediately, wisps of scarlet blood energy, like ten thousand dragons emerging from the sea, enveloped the boy wielding the Ancestral Sword, transforming him into a gigantic blood cocoon.

This scene caused a drastic change in everyone's expression.

But soon, everyone saw that the Zhuxian Sword Seal between the boy's eyebrows had completely devoured all the evil energy.

At the same time, because the Immortal Execution Sword Seal had absorbed the evil energy of the Ancestral Sword, it emitted an even more domineering and powerful scarlet sword aura, and even the trembling and struggling Ancestral Sword gradually calmed down.

With many methods being restrained, coupled with the even more terrifying and domineering Zhuxian Sword Qi, the Ancestral Sword was completely subdued by the young sword immortal.

Ultimately, the Primordial Sword was nothing more than an extremely powerful yet malevolent sword.

This scene also made the phantom of Nuwa nod.

The young swordsman who subdued the Ancestral Sword was qualified to wield it, not to mention that he also had the means to enhance his merit.

“Thank you, great god, for your help!”

Wielding a divine sword, an ancient weapon used to slay gods, the young swordsman's strength greatly increased.

However, the young man remained completely respectful and attentive, and did not become arrogant after obtaining this god-slaying weapon.

"If you can subdue the Ancestral Sword, then the sword will return to its rightful place."

Furthermore, I am already aware of your assistance to my lineage. Since you have cultivated ancient divine powers, I have something to bestow upon you as a reward for your help to my lineage!

A golden ray of light appeared before the statue.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a rare and precious material, as dazzling as pure gold.

"This is the essence of Geng metal. Even a small piece weighs ten thousand jin. It can help you cultivate the ancient divine power - the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife."

However, the Geng metal energy is exceptionally domineering, and if one cultivates normally, it may cause the primordial spirit to collapse.

You can shape it with your merits.

"I am deeply grateful to the great goddess Nuwa for bestowing this treasure upon me!"

Cultivating the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife?

With the essence of Geng metal, wouldn't it be even better to condense the pure Yang cauldron?

Although Geng metal is suitable for making weapons of slaughter, Zhang Xiaoshan did not think that the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife was suitable for him; the Pure Yang Cauldron was his natal magic weapon.

Of course, Zhang Xiaoshan wouldn't reveal his plans directly here.

···

"Reward with ten billion merits, strengthen!"

Kunlun Jade Void Grand Hall!

The golden, radiant aura of profound merit shone throughout the entire hall, slowly merging into the Ancestral Sword.

At the same time, the dense destructive aura surrounding the Ancestral Sword, under the golden light of merit, was like a chemical reaction between water and fire, gradually dissolving or merging into the Ancestral Sword's originally gilded and magnificent blood groove.

Only after leaving Youdu and returning to the main branch of Kunlun did Zhang Xiaoshan dare to choose to strengthen himself.

Youdu is the territory of the goddess Nuwa, and Zhang Xiaoshan is worried that his secret will be exposed, or that the goddess Nuwa will notice something amiss.

These top gods from ancient times are all unfathomable.

Although the Jade Void Hall was also the place of practice for ancient sages.

However, the Kunlun Taoist sect is a sacred place for cultivation, not a place of faith, and at least there has never been any miracle of a saint appearing.

In addition, Zhang Xiaoshan took out three deadly weapons—

Without anger, slaying the dragon, extinguishing the blaze.

Among them, the Dragon-Slaying Sword was Zhang Xiaoshan's replacement of the Eclipse Sword, which he prepared as a protective treasure for Li Yang. It is a divine weapon with Yin attributes.

With the Ancestral Sword in hand, Zhang Xiaoshan naturally returned the Dragon-Slaying Sword to Kunlun.

In exchange for these three ancient divine weapons, Zhang Xiaoshan traded them for a priceless treasure held by the Kunlun Daoist sect for ten thousand years—

Ancient divine iron, the essence of stars, and copper from Shou Mountain!

This is a collection of rare and precious materials accumulated over countless years by the Kunlun Taoist sect. It is more than enough to refine ancient divine artifacts.

However, setting aside the difficulty of forging the 2.0 ancient artifacts, the Kunlun Daoist sect is not lacking in magical treasures. They possess countless ancient divine weapons, such as the Dragon-Slaying Sword and the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan, passed down through generations.

Moreover, the three ancient divine weapons that Zhang Xiaoshan exchanged became the foundation for Kunlun to suppress the Daoist sect.

As for the rare and precious materials exchanged, Zhang Xiaoshan planned to integrate them into the Pure Yang Cauldron to forge an ancient artifact of his own.

After all, the Xuanhuang Nine Provinces Cauldron was his Dao foundation, and the Chunyang Cauldron was his natal magic weapon.

Only when the Pure Yang Cauldron becomes stronger can Zhang Xiaoshan obtain the greatest benefit from each merit-making ritual.

Otherwise, the innate spiritual energy and nine-colored mist generated when he performs the merit-making ritual would be wasted.

After all, the Pure Yang Cauldron has an upper limit.

Even though the Heavenly Dao Divine Patterns enhanced the power of the Pure Yang Cauldron, the materials were insufficient, and the Pure Yang Cauldron had long since reached its limit.

Chapter 1005 Demon Lord Chonglou is about to leave

Looking at the magnificent, newly renovated divine weapon before him, radiant with light and color.

The power of the Ancestral Sword exceeded Zhang Xiaoshan's expectations. It cost ten billion merits. Even if half of the merits were used to seal the evil energy, the Ancestral Sword itself would still need at least five hundred million merits to be strengthened.

Such a powerful divine weapon, no wonder it could slay gods.

The enhanced Ancestral Sword not only became even sharper and more terrifying with its already chilling blade, but also gained the ability to tear through space.

Tear Space, as the name suggests, involves splitting space with a single sword strike to perform spatial teleportation.

For example, the far south and far north of the land of China are millions of miles apart, and even a great cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage would need three days and three nights to reach the other side.

But with the Ancestral Sword, one can tear through space and arrive directly with a single, casual strike.

Moreover, this is merely the simplest use of space.

However, the true power of the Ancestral Sword lies in its indestructible and powerful sword energy, capable of slaying gods and demons.

The sword's edge can slay gods, but the true power to destroy a god's body is the domineering and unparalleled primal malevolent energy.

These were all preserved in the original gilded blood groove, and after being tempered by merit, although the evil aura was greatly reduced, it was undoubtedly more refined.

With the addition of the innate killing sword energy condensed by the boy's transformation, its power is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

The young incarnation who obtained the Ancestral Sword immediately chose to go into seclusion to refine and nurture the sword, achieving a state of perfect harmony between man and sword.

Meanwhile, the youth avatar began to comprehend the 'Way of Weapon Forging'.

The intention is to melt the essence of Geng metal, the origin of the phoenix, ancient divine iron, the essence of stars, and the copper of Shou Mountain into the Pure Yang Cauldron to enhance its level and power.

As for the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife?

At this time, Zhang Xiaoshan possessed the Ancestral Sword and the Immortal Slaying Sword Technique, so he had no need for the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, a powerful offensive technique.

···

Time flies like an arrow; the Ba River flows eastward!

Before they knew it, another sixty-year cycle had passed. The great masters were in seclusion, completely unaware of the passage of time.

Perhaps for ordinary mortals, sixty years is a lifetime.

However, for cultivators, within a span of sixty years, there may not be many geniuses who can step into the Nascent Soul stage, and they will still be among the younger generation.

Therefore, the entire Kunlun Taoist sect was unusually quiet.

After all, the Kunlun Daoist sect suppresses the Kunlun realm, and apart from a few elite disciples who go down the mountain for training, most of the disciples are in seclusion for cultivation.

However, after Bai Xuan succeeded as the leader of Kunlun for a hundred years, Kunlun's elite disciples have emerged in large numbers.

For example, Baili Tusu, a disciple of the sect leader Bai Xuan, broke through to the Nascent Soul stage within sixty years and is now considered a pillar of the Xuanmen's "third generation".

Meanwhile, the Palace Master of Yaochi Palace had gone into seclusion, having long ago passed the position to Mo Lan, who had broken through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage...

boom!

While many experts were in seclusion, a massive shock, like a nuclear explosion, suddenly struck the entire Kunlun Realm.

At the same time, dark clouds filled the sky above Kunlun Realm, and a malevolent aura covered the heavens.

This is a sign that a powerful demon is about to be born, and it is targeting the Kunlun Realm directly, which is absolutely shocking.

At this moment, Sect Leader Bai Xuan also stepped out of the main hall and looked at the figure in the sky that had merged with the black mist of malevolent energy. His pupils shrank involuntarily.

"Demon Lord Chonglou!"

Bai Xuan had considered which audacious demon it might be, but he never expected that the person who came would be the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm—Chonglou.

The realms of gods, demons, and humans coexist. Although the realm of gods is the final destination for countless cultivators to ascend, the human realm is the true origin. In the past, during the war between gods and demons, the spiritual energy in the human realm was greatly reduced, which is why the gods created the realms of gods and demons.

As the leader of Kunlun, his status is essentially equivalent to that of the supreme being in the human world.
