Chapter 868 - 36: Demon Sword Peach Blossom Proclaims the Great Advent (Part 3)
On the battlefield, both the Cyan Dragon Race and the Profound Dragon Race were suppressed by the Dragon Emperor’s dominion.
The Profound Dragon Leader, the Master of Profound Dragon, had no choice but to transform into their true forms to offset the Dragon Emperor’s pressure.
But the Dragon Emperor paid no heed to them, its eyes continually shifting, searching for the enemy who had just ambushed it.
"Which insignificant scoundrel dares challenge me! Reveal yourself at once!"
Its dragon might spread out endlessly, crowding all space around, leaving no place to hide.
Then, it saw a sword appear before it.
This sword could speak,
"True dragon? Just a stinkbug. Do you think simply sprouting a pair of dragon horns makes you a dragon?"
This wasn’t a taunt or jest but a statement of utter disregard.
This was more unbearable than being skinned or gutted.
The Dragon Emperor roared, its immense might shattering the space, descending continuously, and the densely packed black fissures mercilessly and indiscriminately devoured all life present.
Yet, Peach Blossoms didn’t move an inch,
"I told you, you’re just a stinkbug."
The Master of Profound Dragon, long oppressed by the Dragon Emperor, wouldn’t miss the chance to kick it when it’s down.
Yet before it could speak, Peach Blossoms turned to it and added,
"I’m not singling it out. I mean, you’re all stinkbugs."
This sword, arrogant to the extreme, left everyone, every dragon, momentarily stunned.
Immediately afterwards, they put aside other enmities and directed all their wrath at it.
Peach Blossoms’ words had incited the fury of the masses, crossing all boundaries the Dragon Race could accept.
Surging dragon power descended upon Peach Blossoms.
He Youyi watched, his heart pounding, unable to fathom what kind of existence this sword must be to dare say such things to the Dragon Race.
Jade Ancestor had seen the sword before; knowing it was the Lifebound Flying Sword of his disciple Fan Wubing, but now felt remarkably unfamiliar with it.
Facing the dragons, Peach Blossoms showed no fear. It merely flew up gracefully and then swung a level slash downwards, a simple strike anyone could make.
Yet this slash spelled the end for the Dragon Race.
Though the Sword Qi was without light, it dimmed all other light.
The Dragon Emperor attempted to crush this sword light, only to find itself as if in icy tundra. The relentless cold froze its flesh, its dao, its everything.
Against this sword light, it could do nothing.
Peach Blossoms’ voice became the ultimate sharpness,
"Only a true dragon can withstand my Sword Intent. Are you a true dragon?"
The sword light tore apart the Dragon Emperor’s body, ripped through the bodies of all dragons present.
In an instant, blood rain splattered across the sky, flesh fell like frost.
Peach Blossoms’ move was truly unbeautiful, utterly inelegant. With sheer power, it crushed all enemies blocking its way, not only leaving no complete corpses but making the scene as cruel as possible.
Peach Blossoms answered the question it asked the Dragon Emperor,
"Seems you’re not a true dragon."
The Asura Scene left He Youyi shocked, Jade Ancestor was horrified as well.
Even Fan Wubing, far away, asked dazedly,
"Are your methods really this brutal?"
Peach Blossoms laughed and replied,
"Did you forget? I am a Demon Sword after all. I thrive on slaughter, growing through bloodlust. Don’t you like it anymore? You think I’m unworthy of you now?"
Fan Wubing was stunned.
Peach Blossoms spoke with dark humor,
"Sure enough, when you’ve got a new lover outside, you start to dislike the old wife at home. Men~"
Fan Wubing couldn’t help but retort,
"You’re just a sword!"
"Yes, just a sword..." Peach Blossoms acted like a resentful woman evicted from home, "Can’t warm your bed, can’t continue your lineage, unlike that sword by your side, calling you ’senior brother’ so sweetly. What’s her name again? Yu Yao? Qing Yue? Oh! Qingyao, she’s called Qingyao!"
Ahead, Haotian seemed to hear the heart-to-heart between Fan Wubing and Peach Blossoms, watching him with a faint smile.
Fan Wubing felt a headache,
"What’s the point in saying so much! I know nothing about any past matters!"
"I don’t care about any of that! I want to be the main wife!" Peach Blossoms solemnly declared its sovereignty, "You must promise that only I can be your foremost Lifebound Flying Sword."
Fan Wubing helplessly stated,
"I never intended to turn my junior sister into my sword; it was out of necessity. Afterwards, I’ll return her to true form. I promise, you’ll be the only one as my flying sword."
"That’s good!"
Fan Wubing began to regret letting Peach Blossoms fully manifest.
Having gotten Fan Wubing’s promise, Peach Blossoms was full of vigor.
It did not restrain its cruel nature, flying across the Demon Continent, slaughtering every dragon race member with extreme cruelty. It lived up to the title of Demon Sword.
The entire Demon Continent was bathed in dragon blood.
It targeted only the Dragon Race, so other demon races frantically plundered the dragon race’s flesh and blood.
With the fall of dragons, the rise of myriad demons.
With the Dragon Race’s demise, the flourishing of myriad races.
This massacre feast stunned the entire world. Those who had experienced the collapse of the Path to Immortality once again felt that ancient dread.
After annihilating the pretenders of true dragons among the dragon race, Peach Blossoms found the last luminary of the Seven Luminaries—
Fire Luminary.
Then, without lingering, it transformed into a stream of light, leaving behind the Mortal World, returning to Fan Wubing’s side.
Not a drop of blood stained it.
Fan Wubing smiled awkwardly and said,
"Promise me, don’t do this again. After all, I’m also the Master of All Beings, representing all beings."
Peach Blossoms replied,
"Then first promise me that you won’t secretly support other flying swords outside. I don’t care about all beings, I just want you to belong to solely me."
Fan Wubing suddenly remembered, when he first got Peach Blossoms, it had wanted to sign a special master-servant contract with him. It as the master, himself as the servant.
He sighed inwardly,
Everything has its signs, after all.
Peach Blossoms was a possessive, jealous Demon Sword, not tolerating any second sword beside him.
The Fire Luminary merged into his body,
[The Seven Luminaries Spirit Skill]
[Fire, the seed of civilization, the root of the soul. In the name of ’fire,’ it heralds the descent of that great soul]
[Only the rhythm of all things can transcend space, time, and fate]
The Seven Luminaries left by the Seven Luminaries True Monarch were finally complete.
The "All Things Law Dao" belonging to the Seven Luminaries True Monarch completely manifested at this moment.
Fan Wubing’s gaze grew immeasurably distant,
He saw,
Another world.
