In the heart of Jiangnan, there lay a vast garden, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world, surrounded by shimmering lakes.
At that moment, some bodies floated on the surface of the lake, while others emerged from the water, relieved to have escaped a calamity.
Above the Sword Sect Ruins gathered nearly half of the Daoist World’s nations. All the major sects and ancient powers had appeared at the Sword Sect Ruins. Most of the experts were at the Nascent Soul Realm, with many at the Dao Fruit Realm among them. United, they could slay a sect leader and intimidate even the Supreme.
The emergence of the Divine Weapon shone brightly across the land, a spectacle unseen in the Daoist Sect for a millennium. Anyone associated with the Daoist Sect felt compelled to come, lest they regret their lives.
Among those present were Nangong Yun of the Serpent Cult, Yu Youya, Old Scholar from the Yinshan Yang Family, Yang Xuanzong, Li Chang'an, Taihe Zhenren from Taihe Sect, Miao Shengnan from Emei Sect, the remarkable father-son duo Guo Daozhen and Guo Huaiyi, Divine Hero Couple Yang Sanqian and Jiyao, Zhang Xing, Dongfang Yuqing, Zhang Dao'an, Yunxi, and myself. Everyone was puzzled by Guo Daozhen's words.
The Divine Weapon had emerged amidst a bloodthirsty aura. Many had heard tales of drinking blood from ten thousand miles away but had never heard of a sword that could pierce through all living beings within a hundred miles.
Everyone exchanged confused glances while Nangong Yun's face lit up with joy before being startled by Guo Daozhen's statement.
Guo Daozhen's reputation in the Daoist Sect was growing louder; many knew he was one of Old Scholar's disciples who had learned his Divination Technique. With Old Scholar and Miao Guanyin engaged in a fierce battle in the void, it was likely that his words held truth.
However, the problem was that Nangong Yun already held the Evil Weapon in her hands.
As Guo Daozhen prepared to tear through space with Guo Huaiyi to escape, an eerie shift occurred in the air. A wave of bloodthirsty Evil Energy surged forth, immobilizing everyone in place, including Zhang Xing who had managed to flee to a distance.
"What is happening?" Panic spread among them as their bodies stiffened and they found themselves unable to move as if their souls were captured.
Nangong Yun also showed signs of fear; she tried to shake off the Evil Weapon but realized she too was frozen in place. Her blood ceased to flow, and her Dao Qi became stagnant!
With the Evil Weapon's emergence, even the Supreme could not escape this malevolent force. In that instant, a surge of Evil Energy radiated from the Evil Weapon. Guo Daozhen quickly circulated his energy to protect himself and Guo Huaiyi. Jiyao turned to me and said, "Hao, protect your heart pulse!"
At his command, everyone unleashed their strongest defenses to safeguard their heart pulses.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The sound of piercing swords slicing through space echoed in everyone's ears as the bloodthirsty Evil Energy from the Evil Weapon transformed into countless forms in an instant, extending infinitely and striking every one of us simultaneously through our hearts.
Whether it was the Leader of the Serpent Cult, Nangong, or the Yang Family Head, Yang Xuanzong, whether it was the Divine Hero Couple or the peculiar Guo Daozhen, even Taihe Zhenren, who had not yet managed to activate his defenses, he simply could not believe such a sinister thing could happen. Even with the Righteous Qi and its Ultimate Technique, there was no time to unleash it.
Even Yunxi by my side had been pierced through the heart by a sword, and even the Tai Xu Ling that protected him did not react in time.
Chains-like entities pierced through everyone's hearts, pinning them in place. Some with lower cultivation levels died instantly, and the forces lying in ambush at the Lake Surface and beneath it were annihilated in an instant, becoming blood food for the awakening Evil Weapon.
Only the experts of the Daoist Sect could survive such an attack.
Everyone sat cross-legged, circulating their Dao Qi to protect their heart meridians, trying to expel that chain-like Evil Energy from their bodies.
Even Nangong Yun, as a Supreme, could not escape this evil force. He sat down and began to cultivate to heal his injuries.
“Yunxi, are you alright?” I asked as I looked at Yunxi.
Yunxi and everyone else looked at me with confusion because I was the only one unscathed; the bloodthirsty Evil Energy had not pierced my heart!
Guo Daozhen opened his eyes. His Daoist robe billowed without wind as he circulated his Dao Qi to heal himself. He said, “The Evil Weapon has descended with punishment; your cultivation has already been injured by its strike. You are no longer within its attack range.”
I thought it was due to the beast within me; it turned out that this Evil Weapon's bloodthirsty piercing power was equivalent to punishment.
“But why am I also fine?” A weak voice came from behind the crowd.
From behind them, within a Light Shadow of a Futu Stupa, Wu urgently activated the Linglong Pagoda to protect himself. For many days, he had been studying the Sutra within the tower and learned methods for self-protection.
Wu retracted the Pagoda, looking astonished. It seemed that throughout his life, Wu had never been so impressive; even a Supreme could be disturbed by Evil Energy, yet he remained unharmed!
Guo Daozhen also did not understand because the Linglong Pagoda was an ancient Treasure. Throughout history, there had always been rumors about it, but no one had ever obtained it.
By chance in the Dunhuang Caves, Wu acquired the Linglong Tower. Now he only had a superficial understanding of it; barely escaping this calamity made him incredibly excited as he looked at the Evil Weapon and said, “So then, is the Evil Weapon mine?”
Wu looked at me, and I gestured for him to retrieve the Divine Weapon. To me, the Divine Weapon was insignificant. Wu rubbed his hands together, excitement coursing through him as he ascended the Forging Platform like he was stepping onto a winner's podium.
"Heart!"
A flash of blood light surged from behind. Wu Ye sensed the anomaly and dodged into the air, as a Blood Serpent lunged toward the Evil Weapon.
Zhang Xing practiced the Blood Demon Technique; even being pierced through the Heart wouldn't deal him a fatal blow. At that moment, transforming into Blood Fiend Power had no adverse effects on him; instead, it made him even more exhilarated, as if this Evil Weapon had been crafted just for him.
The Evil Weapon had consumed countless lives and absorbed the essence of many Daoist Sect masters. Now, its Sword Body trembled, red light spreading like cracks across its surface, radiating an enchanting brilliance that captivated all who beheld it.
May Day's fist struck toward Zhang Xing, who countered with a backhanded palm strike, using the rebound force to charge at the Evil Weapon. I activated Time Walk and appeared behind Zhang Xing, grabbing his leg and swinging him down hard onto the ground.
After absorbing the lives of countless beings and the essence of masters, the Evil Weapon completed its blood sacrifice, emanating a sinister blood light.
I reached into the blood light, but a powerful repulsive force obstructed me, slowing my movements significantly.
Zhang Xing was furious; wielding the Seven Star Sword, he slashed at me, unleashing a sword aura that shattered the air!
Wu stood protectively behind me. The Linglong Pagoda radiated immense authority, its golden tower reaching high into the sky, dispersing the sword light from Zhang Xing's attack. Wu formed an Incantation with his hands; his long robe billowed without wind as he suddenly leaped into the air. A phantom in his hand expanded into a Yin Yang Greatsword that struck down with tremendous force. Zhang Xing was taken aback and quickly transformed into a Blood Serpent to evade.
Now, Wu had become a powerful figure in the Dao Fruit Realm. Although the Yin-Yang Sword hadn't reached full maturity yet, its power was amplified several times by the Pagoda's divine strength.
The Yin-Yang Sword could slay immortals and vanquish demons, possessing great restraining power against evil entities. Zhang Xing practiced the Blood Demon Technique and absorbed foul energy; his aura was exceedingly sinister. If struck by this sword, he might not recover.
Zhang Xing retreated while holding his Seven Star Sword. Clearly, with both Wu and me present, it was impossible for him to seize the Evil Weapon.
I employed a technique to penetrate the blood malevolence; the Evil Weapon trembled as I grasped it tightly in my hand.
Blood flowed backward as the Evil Weapon attempted to absorb my blood, treating me as a sacrificial offering. I activated Way of Power to resist it. The Evil Weapon seemed enraged and suddenly slipped from my grasp, soaring into the air directly toward Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing stopped in his tracks, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. After all, he was the one whose bloodline most closely matched the criteria for the Divine Weapon's chosen one. However, to everyone's surprise, the Evil Weapon suddenly pierced through Zhang Xing's chest, greedily sucking his blood. Zhang Xing's eyes widened in agony as he screamed, immediately swinging the Seven Star Sword to strike at the Evil Weapon. In an instant, he became a mere shell of a person, staggering away into the distance.
Meanwhile, the Evil Weapon hovered in place, causing the ground to tremble. Countless Flying Swords surged from the ruins, all flying toward the Evil Weapon.
Thousands of swords soared toward the Evil Weapon, but before they could get close, they turned into heaps of scrap metal and fell to the ground, their essence drained away.
"This won't do; at this rate, the Evil Weapon will only grow stronger!" I unleashed the Way of Power in an attempt to trap the Evil Weapon. With a thunderous sound, Blood Fiend Power pushed me back, preventing my Dao Qi from getting anywhere near it.
The pile of discarded swords grew higher and higher. Suddenly, as Zhang Xing fled in the distance, he was yanked back. The Seven Star Sword in his hand let out a mournful cry, as if pleading for help and struggling against its fate. However, dragged along by an unseen force, Zhang Xing had no choice but to let go. The Seven Star Sword was absorbed into the blood energy of the Evil Weapon. The Sword Body trembled and shattered moments later. The power of the Seven Stars erupted forth, illuminating everything and enveloping the Evil Weapon.
The Evil Weapon sought to absorb all renowned swords into itself. In mid-air, the Seven Stars appeared. A beam of light shot down, immobilizing the Evil Weapon. It struggled against this force; its power swelled as it attempted to absorb the energy of the Seven Stars. At that moment, it seemed to be countered by that very energy, suffering significant backlash.
Countless blood shadows appeared around the Evil Weapon, resembling numerous blood swords writhing in agony. Soon enough, these blood swords were contained by the power of the Seven Stars. Finally, the Evil Weapon quieted down. The masters who had been pierced by its dark energy regained their ability to move as that energy was retracted by the Evil Weapon. They rose to their feet, feeling weak and drained.
I took a step forward and grasped the Evil Weapon. Its surface glow gradually receded until it transformed into a square sword that looked plain and unadorned; only its intricate patterns remained incomprehensible to anyone.
Holding the Evil Weapon felt like grasping Death's scythe.
As everyone regained their composure, Nangong Yun spoke up: "Child, hand over the Evil Weapon to Old Man; you may yet be spared from becoming an Immortal!"
With a swing of my sword, Nangong Yun's eyes widened in fury. It was as if he were frozen in place; he unleashed his strongest technique as his Shuttle transformed into a massive arrow to counteract the dark energy of the Evil Weapon. The Shuttle was driven into the ground with such force that cracks appeared on its surface. Nangong Yun's right hand morphed into that of a Fire Demon King as he seized hold of the Evil Weapon.
Boom!
The earth split apart. A chasm opened up in Sword Pavilion's center while water from nearby lakes splashed up to heights of hundreds of feet; everyone was thrown off balance by the dark energy.
When calm returned, Nangong Yun spat out blood; his right hand was severed and all his meridians lay shattered.
"Old Master!" Yu Youya shouted from behind Nangong Yun.
Everyone was astonished. The Evil Weapon could slay the Supreme?
The void trembled as the Old Scholar and Miao Guanyin emerged from the emptiness, their faces filled with confusion, as if they had been shaken out by the Evil Weapon. Both were severely injured, indicating how intense the battle had been. I looked at the Evil Weapon in my hand, not expecting it to possess such power; a single strike could kill a Supreme. If my cultivation had reached the Great Ascension stage, that last strike might have taken Nangong Yun's life. However, I now felt utterly exhausted; the might of that sword not only shook the ground but also drained a significant amount of energy from its wielder.
Nangong Yun trembled all over, chanting a spell as the Shuttle broke free from the ground, wrapping around him and fleeing into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.
"Hand over the Evil Weapon to the Old Man!" After Nangong Yun escaped, the Old Scholar looked at me and said.
Yang Sanqian and Jiyao moved closer to me, confronting the Old Scholar, while Yunxi and Wu Ye approached. Miao Guanyin snorted and said, "Old Scholar, you’ve tried to steal from our clan more than once when our Ancestor wasn’t around."
"What are you? Isn’t it stealing when you took my Yang Family's Book of Life and Death while my Ancestor was absent?" Li Chang'an retorted. He turned to me and said, "If you’re sensible, hand over the Evil Weapon. Otherwise, no matter where you go, countless experts hidden in the Yang Family will pursue you relentlessly, leaving you sleepless at night!"
I glanced at Li Chang'an, whose injuries had mostly healed. A surge of anger ignited within me, and almost instinctively, I swung my sword again.
The Evil Weapon emerged, forcing everyone to retreat. Li Chang'an was frozen in place, screaming in agony as I cleaved him in two with a single strike. His body disintegrated instantly, and his golden Dao Body burst forth, soaring into the air before exploding moments later, resulting in his death and dissolution. Golden Lightfeathers drifted down.
Everyone was terrified and retreated further. The Evil Weapon had wounded Supreme Nangong Yun with one strike and killed Master Li Chang'an with another?
