Chapter 833 - 440: Profound Celestial Sword (2)
"Quick battle and quick decision, lest dreams become reality as the night drags on!" Ning Cheng’s expression was somber as he stared at Bu Mie Demon Lord in Linggu, speaking with a strong intention to kill.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Blue Abyss Dao Sword that Ning Cheng carried unsheathed, transforming into a blue Water Dragon, launching towards Bu Mie Demon Lord to slay him.
Ning Cheng moved, followed by Xiao Shuang and Yunyi.
Bu Mie Demon Lord’s alertness lasted only a fleeting moment when he saw the three Integration Sword Cultivators appearing—Xiao Shuang, Yunyi, and Ning Cheng. A nameless coldness surged in his heart, especially since each wielded a Tier Seven Dao Sword, further deepening his hatred toward Li Mu severalfold.
"Ah! Just die!"
Bu Mie Demon Lord roared furiously, his voice a hellish blast from the Nine Netherworld, shaking the entire Linggu, advancing instead of retreating, and driving the Immortal Demonic Qi within him to its peak.
With the surge of Immortal Demonic Qi, his body was enveloped by sharp Demon Armor, Bu Mie Demon Lord morphed into a gigantic Demon Dragon, ferociously charging at the three Integration Sword Cultivators, seeming to devour everything.
Yunyi wielded the Black Emperor Dao Sword; its blade heavy as a mountain. Each swing carried a staggering force as if bearing a million tons, the Sword Momentum causing earth-shattering effects, a thunderous force, each strike enough to shake mountains. Wherever the Black Emperor Dao Sword’s tip pointed, the space seemed to be torn wide open, emitting a piercing sound.
Xiao Shuang’s Ice Soul Dao Sword emitted a biting coldness, its blade crystal clear, ice forming all around her. As she swung the sword, Sword Qi transformed into icy cones, shooting towards Bu Mie Demon Lord like a blizzard, the icy cone Sword Qi carrying piercing coldness and fierce Sword Qi intent on freezing him.
Blue Abyss Dao Sword under Ning Cheng’s control manifested as a blue Giant Dragon in the air, embodying an ocean of blue, carrying infinite Water Spirit Power, its Sword Qi raging like ocean waves, filled with boundless power and endless depth. Wherever the tip of Blue Abyss Dao Sword pointed, it transformed into a bottomless sea, attempting to swallow the Black Demon Dragon.
A battle of Dao Essence between Integration Realm powerhouses—dangerous yet mesmerizing.
With the onset of the battle in the valley, the array pillars standing atop the peaks of the five Spirit Peaks immediately emitted intense Spirit Light, a formidable array shield materializing out of thin air, rapidly gathering immense Spiritual Power and Heaven and Earth Power, forming a Protective Array, barely offsetting the destructive power unleashed by the four Integration Powerhouses’ battle.
However, as the battle progressed, the Mountain Protection Array on Five Finger Peak began to falter, even massive Spirit Stone consumption unable to offset the aftershocks caused by their battle.
Li Mu, compelled, manipulated five Puppet substitutes, revealing his form, hosting the Grand Array, leveraging Heaven and Earth Power and the strength of the array, barely maintaining stability.
The four Integration Powerhouses’ battle was astoundingly destructive; if not for the three Integration Sword Cultivators exerting great control and intentionally suppressing Bu Mie Demon Lord’s attacks, not only Five Finger Peak but even the distant Seven Profound Sect, and even the Celestial Profound Sword Sect’s directly affiliated Spiritual Land would be devastated.
Seven Profound Sect, where Li Mu had meticulously planted Spirit Plants on the seven Spirit Mountains, he certainly did not want decades of hard work destroyed because of Bu Mie Demon Lord. Hence, he bravely let Tianyan Divine Monarch take the initiative to lure ’Ji Wuheng’ to Five Finger Peak for an ambush.
Unexpectedly, Ji Wuheng was not merely an inside agent; instead, Bu Mie Demon Lord disguised himself personally, rendering all backup plans unnecessary.
Only hoping the three Elder Jian would successfully capture him.
Li Mu watched the fierce battle in the valley, filled with worry and anticipation.
Observing the Integration Powerhouses’ battle up close for the first time, Li Mu was struck by the magnificent energy fluctuations and the endless intertwining of Sword Qi and Demon Qi, further mesmerized by the spectacle.
Bu Mie Demon Lord and the three Integration Sword Cultivators’ initial clash instantly reached a fervent intensity, the Black Demon Dragon and Blue Giant Dragon, icy cones from everywhere intertwining, moving back and forth, creating a breathtaking scene on this Dao Principle battlefield.
Sword Qi and Demon Qi entangling in the air, in an instant undertaking millions of collisions, under the assault of three sharp Sword Qis, the Black Demon Dragon quickly fell behind, repeatedly suffering injuries.
However, the Immortal Demonic Qi on the Black Demon Dragon seemed endless, like perpetual life, rapidly healing after being wounded, then growing more ferocious, Bu Mie Demon Lord roaring thunderously within the Black Demon Dragon, the sound filled with unwillingness and rage, facing the siege of the three Integration Sword Cultivators without any reserve. He must go all out, or face inevitable defeat.
Bu Mie Demon Lord suddenly vanished, departing the battlefield, swiftly sealing with his hands, muttering incantations.
As his incantation concluded, an even more frenzied Demon Qi surged from him, enveloping the entire battlefield.
"Is this... Demon Arrival?" Xiao Shuang exclaimed, her face becoming exceptionally grave.
Yunyi and Ning Cheng realized the gravity of the situation; they knew Bu Mie Demon Lord was using a Forbidden Technique, engaging in a life-and-death struggle.
He sold his Divine Soul to the Demon God, paying a hefty price for sacrifice, calling for the descent of gods and demons upon himself.
As Bu Mie Demon Lord’s chanting continued, his body began to undergo severe transformation, limbs and torso gradually enlarging, the Immortal Demon Armor on his body growing heavier, sharp spikes emitting dark magical light, eyes shifting from red to black, a divine demonic aura emerging.
Faced with this sudden change, the three Integration Sword Cultivators felt unprecedented pressure, understanding that unless they quickly found a way to break it, they might struggle to resist the Forbidden Technique Bu Mie Demon Lord employed.
Just then, a radiant Sword Light suddenly arrived, descending from the skies, directly piercing the battlefield’s center, where the Sword Light reached, Demon Qi instantly dissipated as if severed by an invisible force,
Next, an ancient Spirit Sword levitated, its blade exuding faint golden light, the tip aimed at the disrupted Demon Arrival Forbidden Skill, casting a disbelieving look over Bu Mie Demon Lord, Sword Aura flickering.
"Profound Celestial Sword!"
"Salute the Sword Spirit!"
"So it is indeed the Profound Celestial Sword Spirit—salute the Sword Spirit!"
Xiao Shuang, Yunyi, and Ning Cheng seeing this, simultaneously delighted, bowed to welcome, the visitor was none other than the Celestial Profound Sword Sect’s sacred treasure—the Profound Celestial Sword, usually hidden within Sword Burial Peak, not shown to the world.
At that moment, the Dao Swords in the hands of the three hummed, sword tips lowered, as if voluntarily submitting to the Profound Celestial Sword.
The Profound Celestial Sword buzzed in response to the trio, seemingly handing Bu Mie Demon Lord over to them, then transforming into a golden Flowing Light, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Coming and going hurriedly, as if it never appeared.
Watching the Profound Celestial Sword disappearing, the three could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, shocked by the sudden appearance of the Profound Celestial Sword after hundreds of years.
The three shifted their gaze to the defeated and disbelieving Bu Mie Demon Lord.
"Daring to employ Demon Arrival Forbidden Skill in our sect’s Spiritual Land, utterly reckless!" Xiao Shuang coldly glared at Bu Mie Demon Lord, shouting, the Tier Seven Dao Sword in hand instantaneously erupting into brilliant light.
Yunyi and Ning Cheng were not to be outdone; their Dao Swords equally glowed brightly, the three unleashing a thunderous force, attacking Bu Mie Demon Lord vigorously.
Bu Mie Demon Lord, suffering from the repercussions of Demon Arrival failure, wounded upon wounded, yet succumbing without resistance was impossible. He roared, the Demon Qi around him gushing wildly, challenging fate with fate, intent on dragging one down with him before perishing.
Facing Bu Mie Demon Lord’s desperate resistance, Xiao Shuang and the trio strategically moved step by step, cooperating with each other, prepared to wear him out.
Under the three’s mighty offensive, Bu Mie Demon Lord struggled to hold out, his frenzied momentum began to wane, his Immortal Demon Armor shattering under the assault of the three Dao Swords, body wounded by Sword Qi, blood splattered...
The three Integration Sword Cultivators worked seamlessly, balancing attack and defense, Bu Mie Demon Lord unable to find any breakthrough, after a fierce battle, finally defeated, his body, along with Divine Soul, dissipating in the fierce Sword Qi, leaving only an unwilling roar.
"Finally resolved!" Xiao Shuang exhaled deeply, a look of fatigue yet satisfaction appearing on her face.
Yunyi and Ning Cheng also relaxed their grip on the Dao Sword, their faces showing ease.
However, even the three Integration Sword Cultivators did not notice a few strands of Bu Mie Demon Lord’s rapidly dissipating Divine Soul being devoured by an unknown black hole that appeared.
