Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Divine Sword Vanquishes Demons! (Fifth Update)
Lu Changsheng arrived in the air, his Daoist robe fluttering as he fought shoulder to shoulder with Taiyuan the True Man.
Before him, Wan Chengdao, who had achieved Great Accomplishment in the Supreme Blood Scripture, loomed as a hundred-zhang tall shadow of the Blood Demon Ancestor, his presence overshadowing the Void Refinement Realm and even dyeing the sky blood red with his phantom.
"Changsheng, be careful, Wan Chengdao's cultivation has reached the second layer of the Unity Realm,"
Even after Lu Changsheng rushed to the main temple of the Reincarnation Hall, the furrowed brows of Taiyuan the True Man still did not relax.
Although Lu Changsheng possessed an extremely high aptitude, his realm remained in the Void Refinement Realm, whereas Wan Chengdao, having embraced demonhood and masterfully cultivating the Supreme Blood Scripture, had reached the horrifying second layer of the Unity Realm.
Neither Taiyuan the True Man nor Grandmaster Chen had been able to defeat Wan Chengdao, and even now, with Lu Changsheng joining them, the prospect of victory remained slim.
"His aura has diminished somewhat from its peak,"
Lu Changsheng drew the Blazing Extermination Sword.
Lu Changsheng, using Soul Searching Skills to track the party from Mount Shu, had a rough understanding of what had happened.
Taiyuan the True Man and Grandmaster Chen had been trying to wear down Wan Chengdao's vital essence, and they had some success.
Wan Chengdao's vital essence was waning.
"I, Chen, will not fall easily."
Grandmaster Chen, who had been injured by Wan Chengdao, climbed out from the collapsed mountainside, stood tall and proud, and joined the great battle.
"All of you will die!"
Wan Chengdao maniacally controlled the phantom of the Blood Demon Ancestor to attack, the phantom wielding the Blood Sword, slashing towards Lu Changsheng!
"Be careful, this is the Reincarnation Hall's mid-grade Immortal Artifact level Sect-Defending Treasure—the Reincarnation Blood Sword!"
Taiyuan the True Man warned Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng countered with the Blazing Extermination Sword, employing moves from the Primordial Sword Scripture.
Immense waves of vital essence surged forth like a roaring flood, tearing at Lu Changsheng's body, with the pungent stench of blood assaulting all senses.
Fortunately, Lu Changsheng's Innate Taoist Body ignored these negative psychic interferences, and his Dao heart remained firm.
The Blazing Extermination Sword seemed unable to withstand the opponent's attack, crying out in distress.
However, powered by his six-turn Demon Body, Lu Changsheng still stood firm with sword in hand, while the Mysterious Yellow Tower manifested of its own accord, unleashing thousands of dazzling rays to block the strike from the phantom of the Blood Demon Ancestor.
"How could you possibly block my attack?"
Shock flashed in Wan Chengdao's frenzied eyes.
Lu Changsheng, merely at the seventh layer of the Void Refinement Realm, was actually able to block his mid-grade Immortal Artifact.
"Hahaha, who would have thought, you young fellow, have grown so quickly that even Wan Chengdao cannot harm you,"
Grandmaster Chen was initially dumbfounded, then burst into hearty laughter.
With Lu Changsheng's combat power reaching their level, the three of them together could possibly defeat Wan Chengdao.
"Let's join forces, wear down his vital essence. Once it is depleted and he can no longer maintain the Supreme Blood Scripture, defeat is certain,"
Taiyuan the True Man's eyes also lit up.
This little disciple, Lu Changsheng, had brought him too many surprises.
Taiyuan the True Man originally thought it would take Lu Changsheng some time to cultivate before he could reach the level of the six Sect Leaders, but here he was, Lu Changsheng at the seventh layer of the Void Refinement Realm, already possessing the combat power of a Sect Leader.
"Grand Thousand Sword Formation!"
Lu Changsheng summoned the Blazing Extermination, Morning Light, Infinity Skill, Against the Current Cold, Azure Light Frost Brilliance, and the Golden Summit Piercing the Clouds, six low-grade Immortal Swords. He also brought forth countless Flying Sword artifacts, forming the astonishing Grand Thousand Sword Formation to encircle and assault Wan Chengdao.
Just like Taiyuan the True Man, Lu Changsheng aimed to constantly deplete the Blood Demon Chief's vital essence.
"Such a terrifying formation...!"
Grandmaster Chen was taken aback.
Lu Changsheng's Grand Thousand Sword Formation was a celestial-tier Sword Formation, multifaceted and immensely powerful.
Lu Changsheng, taking the six Immortal Swords as the core, repeatedly attacked the phantom of the Blood Demon Ancestor.
The phantom of the Blood Demon Ancestor was constantly being split by the Immortal Swords, yet it kept reforming.
Wan Chengdao merged with the illusory figure of the Blood Demon Ancestor, with the latter requiring a constant supply of vital energy from Wan Chengdao.
The Grand Thousand Sword Formation, countless Flying Swords crisscrossing, depleted Wan Chengdao's vital energy.
Wan Chengdao's momentum continued to fall.
Realizing that Lu Changsheng, Grandmaster Chen, and Taiyuan were intent on grinding him to death, Wan Chengdao unwillingly howled to the sky, shaking the mountains surrounding him.
"Blood Demon Annihilation!"
Wan Chengdao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, sacrificing his remaining vital energy to boost his declining strength.
He could no longer afford to be drained by Lu Changsheng's Grand Thousand Sword Formation, along with Grandmaster Chen and Taiyuan.
The illusory figure of the Blood Demon Ancestor began to swell, ready to destroy everything present!
"Not good, attack with all your might!"
Taiyuan sensed Wan Chengdao's determination to destroy everything and transmitted his voice to Lu Changsheng and Grandmaster Chen, urging them to join him in a full-force attack, aiming to kill Wan Chengdao before the Blood Demon Ancestor's illusion self-destructed.
Otherwise, none of those present would survive the self-destruction of Wan Chengdao, a second-level Unity Realm cultivator.
The Sect-Defending Treasure, the Immortal Sword Taiji, was summoned by Mount Shu, wielding the Yin Yang Dual Qi, and struck at Wan Chengdao.
"Baji Fist, Extreme Intent!"
Grandmaster Chen's forehead veins throbbed as his body swelled, muscles tensed, unleashing the ultimate form of Baji Fist with an earth-shattering punch!
The fierce fist strength manifested as a fierce tiger, lunging at Wan Chengdao.
"Silent Annihilation!"
Lu Changsheng ceased using the Grand Thousand Sword Formation and instead summoned the mid-grade Immortal Sword "Silent Annihilation."
A ferocious sword with a fiery red body and flame-shaped hilt shot out from Lu Changsheng, its terrifying aura of fierce evil permeated the air, causing the ground below to crumble under its oppressive force.
"A mid-grade Immortal Sword?!"
Everyone from Mount Shu, the Martial Alliance, and even those from the Reincarnation Hall were stunned as they looked up into the sky, witnessing the emergence of another mid-grade Immortal Artifact!
Lu Changsheng's Silent Annihilation Sword was even more ruthless than Taiyuan's Taiji Sword, a purely offensive supreme treasure!
"Primordial Sword Scripture, the Eighth Layer Sword Intent!"
Lu Changsheng circulated the Taiqing Wuji Technique with all his might, executing the eighth-level sword intent of the Primordial Sword Scripture. The Silent Annihilation Sword, carrying the fierce Qi capable of destroying heaven and earth, cleaved through layers of blood waves, aiming straight for Wan Chengdao at the center of the Blood Demon Ancestor's illusory figure!
The three Righteous Dao powerhouses, unstoppable, all targeted one man!
Wan Chengdao, his face twisted with ferocity, ran the Supreme Blood Scripture wildly, with the aura of the Blood Demon Ancestor's illusory figure becoming ever more terrifying, teetering on the edge of explosion.
In the heavens, a resplendent light burst forth, akin to a dazzling blood-red sun.
Boom!
What followed was a deafening explosion, as numerous Elders and Disciples below quickly circulated their cultivation techniques to block the terrifying shockwave.
The shockwave collapsed the earth below, destroying countless trees, reducing the altars and buildings of the Reincarnation Hall to ash.
"Master must achieve victory…"
The many Disciples of Qingyun Peak were praying for Lu Changsheng.
In a battle of such magnitude, they could not render any assistance.
After the deafening blast, blood rained from the sky, and the main temple of the Reincarnation Hall was nearly reduced to ruins.
The blood rain fell among the ruins, desolate and terrifying.
Ji Xuan looked up to see Taiyuan, Lu Changsheng, and Grandmaster Chen standing in the air while opposite them, a figure plummeted from the sky.
Reincarnation Hall's Hall Master Wan Chengdao had fallen.
The Blood Formation that had trapped the people from Mount Shu and the Martial Alliance dissipated, its magic failing with the death of Wan Chengdao.
"We've won."
Mount Shu's and the Martial Alliance's people showed the joy of survivors after escaping disaster.
