Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree

A single strand of sword energy is nothing to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and even less of a threat to an ancient demon's divided soul.

However, there are now a total of 648 azure sword threads within this Azure Origin Sword Formation. This level of attack is beyond their ability to withstand.

Just like the Yinluo Sect Master, upon seeing so many cyan sword threads, he realized the way to survival and decisively chose to self-destruct his physical body and nascent soul, leaving no room for retreat.

Because this is no longer a quantity they can handle.

The current ancient demons with divided souls share a similar idea.

However, he was in an even worse situation than the sect leader of the Yinluo Sect.

At least the Yinluo Sect Master could self-destruct his physical body and nascent soul, but this ancient demon's divided soul had not yet fully refined the restrictions within its body, so it could not exert much of its strength, let alone self-destruct.

Besides this body, what else can a split soul of its beheading self-destruct?

Shall we set off fireworks for everyone by self-destructing our souls?

Although he knew the odds were against him, this demon would not surrender easily and was determined to fight to the death.

With a surge of demonic energy, the ancient demon took on a strange appearance with two heads and four arms. Then, its four arms clenched in the air, and four dazzling black lights appeared in the ancient demon's palms.

Immediately afterwards, with a flick of its four arms, the ancient demon produced four black light blades in its hands.

This black light blade was formed by condensing the pure true demonic energy that had been refined over countless years within this body. Although it can unleash power no weaker than top-tier magic weapons, it was achieved at the cost of damaging the foundation of this body.

After this battle, it's unknown how many years it will take for this demon to regain its original strength, and it's even possible that its cultivation level will permanently drop.

But at this moment, the ancient demon's divided soul could no longer care about that.

Even if it means destroying this body, as long as he can escape this sword formation, it would be worth it for him.

The ancient demon's divided soul condensed into a light blade very quickly. Although Mu Yu noticed it, she did not stop it in advance.

Even if you try to stop them, you might not be able to prevent them from condensing such a light blade.

It's good to let this ancient demon exhaust itself, so that it won't unleash some trump card when it's about to die and destroy some of Mu Yu's treasures.

"go!"

With Mu Yu's command, a giant net composed of 648 densely packed cyan sword threads slashed directly at them.

This scene startled Wei Wuyai so much that he subconsciously swallowed.

Could it be... that the sword formation used to kill the Yinluo Sect Master was this very one...?

This person is only at the early stage of Nascent Soul. If we wait for him to advance to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, will there still be any need for us to exist at the late stage of Nascent Soul?

Subconsciously, many malicious thoughts arose in Wei Wuyai's mind.

But soon, the blue sword threads in front of him made Wei Wuyai give up the idea.

Because if it were him, being trapped in this sword formation would mean certain death!

But this ancient demon, worthy of its former divine body, was able to withstand the dense cyan sword threads without being at a disadvantage, relying solely on its four black light blades.

However, each time the black light blade came into contact with the cyan sword thread, tiny gaps would appear on the black light blade.

Under normal circumstances, weapons formed from one's own demonic energy are not bothered by small nicks, as they can be easily repaired.

But now, Mu Yu's dense sword threads were simply too numerous. After only a moment of resistance, more than half of the black light blades in the four hands of the Ancient Demon's divided soul were worn away.

To maintain its full power, this ancient demon's divided soul must continue to drain its body dry.

Even so, it only delayed the time of death.

If he doesn't find a way to break this sword formation, he will definitely be sliced ​​into mincemeat by those dense sword threads.

The ancient demonic soul fragment located at the center of the cyan sword threads finally couldn't hold on any longer. The black light blade in its hand, which was already half-shortened, disappeared into thin air. Its entire demonic body released a large amount of dense demonic energy that enveloped its whole body before vanishing from the Azure Origin Sword Formation.

The next moment, the re-emerged ancient demonic soul was about to attack Wei Wuyai, thus forcing Mu Yu to open the sword formation and release Wei Wuyai.

As long as there is one more opening in the sword formation, he will have a chance to escape.

Faced with the sudden attack of the ancient demon's split soul, Wei Wuyai was slightly injured, but he was still a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if he couldn't defeat the ancient demon's split soul, he was definitely not going to be instantly killed by it.

Even if this ancient demon's divided soul used some forbidden techniques to enhance its strength, it wouldn't work. Wei Wuyai still had many ways to protect himself.

Mu Yu naturally couldn't just stand by and watch Wei Wuyai get beaten alone, so he surrounded him again with a dense array of cyan sword threads.

This time, the ancient demon's divided soul showed no intention of resisting, and used several escape techniques to try to escape the encirclement of the cyan sword threads, but all of them failed.

In the end, the ancient demon's split soul, having given up all hope, directly engaged Wei Wuyai in close combat, completely disregarding the damage that Wei Wuyai's poisonous techniques would cause to his body.

Speaking of which, Wei Wuyai was really unlucky.

If the opponent had been a different ancient demon, even the one outside who possessed Lu Weiying's soul, or any other ancient demon at the late Nascent Soul stage, Wei Wuyai wouldn't have been beaten to this extent.

Although that Nascent Soul stage body lost a third of its cultivation due to forcibly breaking the restrictions, although it couldn't unleash its full combat power because the restrictions within its body hadn't been broken, and although it was only a fragment of a soul controlling this body...

However, the sheer strength of the ancient demon's body at the Nascent Soul stage was enough to disregard most of Wei Wuyai's poisonous techniques.

Wei Wuyai's entire skill set revolved around poison. With the power of his poison skills weakened, he naturally found it extremely difficult to fight.

If it were Master Zhiyang or Old Demon Hehuan, their battle record would definitely be more impressive than Wei Wuyai's.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, don't get entangled with him!"

"Also, please forgive me if you get accidentally injured in the upcoming attacks."

Mu Yu spoke politely, but with a flick of his wrist, the dense cyan sword threads included Wei Wuyai in the range of the attack.

Seeing this, the ancient demon's divided soul and Wei Wuyai could no longer care about fighting. Under the threat of the cyan sword threads, they fled in panic.

The two who were fighting to the death just moments ago now seem to have a lot in common with each other.

"It seems that we can no longer let friendly forces into the Azure Origin Sword Formation from now on."

If it weren't for Wei Wuyai's presence, Mu Yu was confident that with the enhanced divine abilities he had just gained from the Creation Pill, he could control the Azure Origin Sword Formation to kill the ancient demon's divided soul, along with its Nascent Soul stage demonic body, all by himself.

But now...

Well, getting a little injured is nothing, we can't really kill Wei Wuyai, can we?

Moreover, the Azure Origin Sword Formation should not be able to trap two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators at present.

If Mu Yu overreacts and forces Wei Wuyai and the Ancient Demon's split soul to join forces to break the formation, then Mu Yu will be in trouble.

A small, cyan sword pellet, about the size of a soybean, appeared in Mu Yu's hand and spun around in his palm.

Even if the ancient demon's divided soul were to gather the power of the entire Azure Origin Sword Formation, the Nascent Soul stage physical body it currently controls might not be able to instantly kill the opponent.

If he manages to get away by accident, it will be troublesome later.

After the incident at Fallen Demon Valley, there shouldn't be any major battles for a while, so...

Even if the sword energy and evil-repelling divine thunder accumulated inside the Azure Origin Sword Pill are completely used up, there should be enough time to replenish them.

In addition to the warding-off divine thunder, the Azure Origin Sword Pill also stores a considerable amount of sword energy, which is enough to serve as a trump card.

After thinking it over, Mu Yu finally made a decision.

This time, let's use the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder.

After accumulating for so many years, there should be something here; it's time to use it up.

With Mu Yu's will, the sword pellet, which was originally a light blue color and the size of a soybean, suddenly turned into a dazzling gold, with occasional rumbling thunder echoing in the air.

The rumbling sound was not from the exorcising divine thunder, but rather from the natural world sensing the appearance of a large amount of lightning, causing the lightning-attribute spiritual energy to automatically condense.

This move really did have the feel of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

This Creation Pill really wasn't wasted.

Before taking the Creation Pill, Mu Yu would not have been able to condense the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder to this extent.

As Mu Yu activated the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder stored within the Azure Origin Sword Pill, both the human and the demon within the Azure Origin Sword Formation felt this deadly threat.

They exchanged a glance instinctively, and the human and the demon flew off in different directions without prior arrangement.

At this moment, it was no longer a question of who would live or die between the two of them, but whether Mu Yu intended to capture the demon or silence him.

Mu Yu continued to slowly draw upon the evil-repelling divine thunder stored within the Azure Origin Sword Pill. Having finally managed to use his trump card, Mu Yu was in no hurry and needed to thoroughly comprehend it first.

After all, the ancient demon's divided soul was still trapped in the Azure Origin Sword Formation and couldn't escape.

Those cyan sword threads are not only excellent for attack, but also quite good for defense.

The ancient demon sensed the extreme power of thunder and had only one thought in its mind: to escape.

At this moment, he arrived at the edge of the formation, but his path was blocked by a layer of cyan sword threads.

Clearly, although the Azure Origin Sword Formation itself has a sword shield that restricts the enemy's escape, Mu Yu still used all the azure sword threads as a shield on the outermost layer when condensing his ultimate move.

The ability to transform sword energy into threads is not just about extreme attack power; it can also serve as a form of defense when needed.

The ability to transform sword energy into threads is not just about extreme attack power; it can also serve as a form of defense when needed.

In particular, this defense system also comes with extremely effective counter-damage measures.

The ancient demon's divided soul knew that conventional methods would not allow it to escape, not even at the cost of greatly depleting its essence and blood.

With a dark look on his face, the ancient demon grabbed his extra arms and ripped them off.

Such a ferocious act impressed Mu Yu, who was also quite interested in the structure of the ancient demon's body.

After all, if it were a normal human being, there would be quite a lot of things coming out after both arms were torn off.

After the ancient demon tore off its arms, the original location was only shrouded in a layer of black mist, with no flesh or blood visible at all.

"Interesting, are we preparing to break through the formation?"

"Then it depends on whether you can get out in time."

"But I doubt it!"

The Azure Origin Sword Pill in Mu Yu's palm was now filled with dazzling golden light, like a small sun floating in his hand.

The two arms that the ancient demon's divided soul tore off were refined into two longswords that were very similar to the Blood Demon Sword, as the ancient demon continued to spew out large amounts of essence blood.

Sacrificing limbs to forge two swords on the spot, comparable to top-tier magical artifacts, is quite an impressive tactic.

If this ancient demon's physical body were to completely remove the restrictions within him, and his two souls were to merge into one, along with some demonic artifacts similar to the Blood Demon Sword, he might truly become invincible in this world.

After all, there are only a few Nascent Soul cultivators like Xiang Zhili in the human realm right now. Even if you include those demons, you probably can't even gather ten people at most.

If this demon were to regain its strength, it might not have any problem killing those Nascent Soul stage cultivators one by one.

However, there's not much of a problem right now!

The ancient demon's divided soul wielded two long swords, and the blood-red sword light, which was more than ten feet long, actually severed the blue sword threads that Mu Yu had laid out.

If we don't stop it soon, this demon will break free of the formation.

"go!"

With a soft shout from Mu Yu, the golden sword pellet in his hand transformed into a golden sword thread, slashing horizontally towards the ancient demon's divided soul.

Mu Yu did not use the power of the sword formation for this attack.

Although theoretically the Azure Origin Sword Pellet is also part of the Azure Origin Sword Formation, Mu Yu will not use it in most cases.

Even if it is used, it will only be activated when it is safe to do so.

Because for all sets of magical artifacts that possess a main body, the most important thing is never the sub-artifacts, but the main artifact that is regarded as the core.

Once the main unit is damaged, all the sub-units will also suffer corresponding damage, greatly reducing their power.

However, if the sub-weapon is damaged, it is much easier to deal with. Even if the sub-weapon is partially destroyed, as long as the main weapon is intact, the sub-weapon can be reforged and its original power can be fully restored.

Therefore, in theory, Mu Yu's true natal magic weapon is this sword pellet, while the other Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords are merely matching accessories.

Therefore, this strike can be considered the ultimate combat power that Mu Yu was able to unleash with the help of his natal magic weapon.

The fine golden sword threads were barely noticeable against the backdrop of the dense, blue sword threads of the Azure Origin Sword Formation.

Although the ancient demon's divided soul noticed it, it didn't take it to heart.

The cyan sword thread has already been cut in half, so what effect can this golden sword thread possibly have?

The Blood Demon Sword in his right hand slashed down with overwhelming demonic energy, but the ancient demon didn't even feel any recoil, as if the Blood Demon Sword in his hand had just been casually swung.

Could it be that this golden sword thread is just a facade?

Just as the ancient demon's divided soul hesitated, it suddenly realized that its arms seemed somewhat uncoordinated.

Upon closer inspection, I was instantly terrified.

The golden sword thread was completely intact; what had been severed was actually the Blood Demon Longsword in his own hand.

"This...how is this possible!"

Before the ancient demon's divided soul could react, the golden thread nimbly coiled around it and, as easily as slicing tofu, severed the ancient demon's divided soul's arm and two heads.

After experiencing it firsthand, the ancient demon's divided soul realized that the so-called golden thread was actually a sword thread condensed from endless exorcising divine thunder.

Each seemingly extremely sharp slash was actually the seemingly endless divine lightning that extinguished all the demonic energy that came into contact with the sword thread.

Therefore, this was not a strike from golden sword threads at all, but rather the ultimate condensation of the warding-off divine lightning, annihilating all demonic energy as if it were its natural enemy.

It's like a red-hot iron wire melting foam so casually.

His head was severed, and a large amount of exorcising divine lightning remained in the wound, making it impossible to use any forbidden techniques.

But just as the ancient demon's divided soul left his body, a small black banner, about an inch long, appeared beside him.

"Fellow Daoist, please enter the Ten Thousand Soul Banner for a chat!"

As the demonic nascent soul used all its demonic power to activate the Myriad Souls Banner, the ancient demon's divided soul was momentarily stunned before being forcibly absorbed into the Myriad Souls Banner.

However, compared to the Nascent Soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the ancient demon's split soul is much more difficult to deal with.

On the surface of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, one can vaguely see a raised demonic face struggling desperately.

But... he can't escape.

Even if the restrictions of the Myriad Souls Banner cannot refine him, his final fate will still be to be devoured by the myriad souls.

The fluctuations on the surface of the Myriad Souls Banner lasted for about fifteen minutes, during which no one dared to disturb Mu Yu.

Including the ancient demon master's soul, who had just arrived, hiding to the side, looking at his own dismembered body, and feeling that long-lost heartache.

At this moment, the ancient demon master's soul could not distinguish whether he should feel fortunate, sad, or angry.

If I hadn't just eaten two Nascent Souls, there might have been another me among the souls absorbed into that Soul Banner.

Even the divided souls that possessed their original physical bodies died so quickly; even with myself added, there's almost no chance of victory.

Unless, of course, the two demons can find an opportunity to merge briefly.

But it's clear that with Mu Yu watching over them, they won't have a chance to merge.

At the same time, even if the two demons merge, at worst Mu Yu can release the sword energy accumulated within the Qingyuan Sword Pill to reinforce the Qingyuan Sword Formation.

The Qingyuan Sword Formation is far more functional than the Da Geng Sword Formation developed by Qingyuanzi.

After all, Qing Yuanzi doesn't have any cheat codes that allow him to avoid misfortune and bring good fortune, which are crucial to success.

If Mu Yu were to release all the sword energy accumulated in the Qingyuan Sword Pill, the extent to which the power of the Qingyuan Sword Technique could be enhanced would be unpredictable.

Even if the sword formation's power isn't increased enough, Mu Yu still has a chance to wear them down by consuming those Azure Yuan Sword Threads and relying on the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk.

After all, the sword threads that the ancient demon had just used all its trump cards to destroy were merely the 634 sword shadows created by Mu Yu using the Sword Shadow Splitting Technique.

The real Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword was undamaged except for consuming some sword energy.

Therefore, as long as the Azure Origin Sword Formation is not broken instantly, Mu Yu is confident that he can wear them down.
