Born with immortal seed

Chapter 372 How to Forge the Killing Sword Without Madness
"A Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure!"

Bai Zichen was greatly shocked. Every time a fifth-order Heavenly Treasure appeared, it would cause an earthquake in the cultivation world, and even Nascent Soul stage experts could be attracted to it.

The Zengguang Du family possessed the most magnificent immortal city in the world, with its halls filled with gold and jade, and its sea of ​​spiritual stones.

It's not unusual to have a magical treasure, but I've never heard of a magical treasure that can reach the heavens.

Treasures of this caliber are mostly in the hands of super-powerful sects, and the Du family's demonstrated strength is insufficient to protect them.

"The Demon Dragon Cone seems to be a divine weapon used by ancient demons... In ancient times, many Nascent Soul stage experts died under this demonic treasure."

Yan Yuanzai looked nervous, and he had already put on a brocade robe.

"The legendary Demon Dragon Cone is a top-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure that can traverse the void. Once locked on by it, any escape techniques or teleportation abilities will be rendered ineffective. Below the fifth rank, even a single strike from the Demon Dragon Cone cannot withstand it."

"What should we do? Is that demonic shadow an avatar of an ancient demon?"

Master Cheng Tuo approached, a yellow apricot banner held atop his head, with auspicious clouds rising around him.

After witnessing Tie Shu's death, no one believed that a top-grade defensive magic weapon could withstand the Demon Dragon Cone. Even a fourth-tier protective armor was merely a tougher piece of leather.

The dragon cone pierced through with only a little effort.

Among the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators present, almost none could withstand a single blow from Du Heng wielding a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

The Demon Dragon Cone has proven with its achievements that even after being refined by demons for hundreds of thousands of years and not yet fully awakened, ordinary spiritual treasures cannot stop it.

Only a fourth-tier flying sword might be able to put up a slight resistance.

"No, I'm afraid it's an external avatar... I don't know how City Lord Du managed to borrow the power of the ancient demon and refine the True Demon Saint Body. I estimate that the changes in the Burial Immortal Valley back then and the many bloody incidents that have occurred in the Northern Region in recent years are all related to him."

The Arhat holding a flower sat cross-legged in mid-air, his Dharma form revealed.

He forms the lotus mudra with his hands, a smile playing on his lips, exuding compassion and peace.

Behind him, the Dharma image has three heads and six arms, each holding a jade wheel, a treasure vase, and a Buddhist chain, displaying an angry Vajra appearance, fierce and terrifying, having pushed its power to the extreme.

"If this True Monarch Du were to advance further, both his main body and his avatar would reach the Nascent Soul stage, and he might even be able to merge into one and break into the Divine Transformation stage!"

"Wouldn't that mean the entire Northern Region would become a demonic land, and the tragic scene of the ancient demons descending upon the world would reappear!"

The ancient demonic lineage and the demonic cultivation of the immortal realm are two completely different paths. The difference between demonic cultivators and other cultivators lies only in their cultivation methods and philosophies; their advancement and ascension are the same.

This world has no source of true demonic energy. Those who have inherited the ancient demonic legacy or have been transformed into demons cannot become stronger through normal cultivation and refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Du Heng kept killing high-level cultivators in order to devour them and strengthen his True Demon Saint Body.

Only by defiling the spiritual energy of this world and transforming the demonic soil can true demonic energy be slowly generated, gradually bringing the environment closer to the demonic realm.

Even demonic cultivators only use and learn from the demonic realm.

Aside from a very few ruthless individuals, no one would welcome the arrival of the ancient demons, who transformed this world into a subordinate world of the demon realm.

In ancient times, several powerful cultivators who had reached the Nascent Soul stage died in the battle against the ancient demons.

If Du Heng were to truly become a Nascent Soul cultivator, then in order to continue growing stronger and even ascend to the Demon Realm, he would have no choice but to rush forward down one path, with no turning back.

Just as the ancient demon once wanted to do, he sacrificed the entire cultivation world, using the souls of billions of living beings to shorten the distance with the demon realm.

"Master Xiang, stop immediately! Let's discuss how to deal with this demon... Otherwise, not only will our lives be in danger, but it will also be a catastrophe that sweeps across the cultivation world!"

Ge Cang held the Qian Tian Yuan Yang Divine Thunder in his left hand and the Xuan Ming Yi Qi Wu Xiang Divine Thunder in his right. The two layers of divine thunder nets intertwined, blocking him and Bai Zichen behind them.

"Haha, isn't that exactly what I'm doing? As long as I can forge the fifth-order Killing Demon Sword, I'll be able to break the formation and force Du Heng to retreat!"

Xiang Ji's hands kept moving, and his laughter was unrestrained.

"With the True Demon Saint Body and the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, how could you possibly be a match for me? Only I can master the Killing Sword!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, never expecting that even at this point, Xiang Ji still held such a view.

"True Lord Xiang, if you and True Lord Tang Fei join forces, and with our assistance, you might be able to defeat Du Heng and his avatar... I don't believe he would dare to defy the world and stay in the Frost Kingdom for several months, attracting the attention of the Central Region sects. Why must he kill each other first!"

Master Cheng Tuo advised that if the two sword cultivators at the mid-Nascent Soul stage were to both be severely injured, the remaining people would truly become lambs to the slaughter in front of Du Heng.

'Damn it, Du Heng and Xiang Ji both have over two hundred years of lifespan left. My Azure Emperor Longevity Sword can't kill them with a single strike...'

Within Bai Zichen's dantian, the Ziwei Xuanlei Sword flew out of its scabbard.

After cultivating the Cantongqi to the fourth volume, he finally refined it into his natal flying sword, making it much faster to activate the Azure Emperor Longevity Sword.

Two years ago, he completed the second Hidden Sword technique. Because of his deeper understanding of the power of time, he was able to sense the killing line before he even swung the sword.

From the perspective of the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword, the few Nascent Soul True Monarchs present could only see Tang Fei and Master Cheng Tuo, whose life flames flickered like candles.

With a single sword strike, his lifespan was exhausted, and he died from the five signs of decay.

'However, even if those two have lifespans exceeding two hundred years, it wouldn't be by much. Considering their time to attain enlightenment... if their lifespans are less than a hundred years after a single sword strike, there will definitely be a chain reaction, which might create an opportunity to fight their way out.'

With the moon hanging high above his head and its light protecting him, Bai Zichen simply gripped the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword in his hand, gaining a boost of confidence.

Ge Cang and Yan Yuanzai exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously in perfect unison, their starlight like dragons and their thunder like a sea.

Du Heng did not continue to attack but went outside the formation. Obviously, he was not confident that he could kill everyone present by himself, or perhaps the control of the Demon Dragon Cone was a heavy burden for a Nascent Soul True Monarch and he could not activate it continuously.

No matter what, we must save True Lord Tang Fei first.

Master Cheng Tuo was right when he said that the inheritance of the Demon Realm and the True Demon Saint Body are the most taboo things in the cultivation world.

The great war between good and evil, the conflict between humans and demons, all pale in comparison to this matter.

They're here to destroy the cultivation world. They don't care about disputes over traditions or ideologies, or the feud over the survival of races. From now on, only the ancient demon race will be able to survive in this world.

As soon as the news spreads, all the major sects in the cultivation world will put aside their past grievances and exterminate this demon.

"You're outnumbered! Senior brother, I'm here to help you!"

Kong Bai stood alone on the corner, drew his sword and thrust it forward, the sword's light piercing the sun, aiming straight for Ge Cang's back.

Ge Cang flicked his hand, and thousands of Xuanming Qi Wuxiang Divine Thunder bolts rained down like a torrential downpour.

Each mine is transparent and invisible, constantly merging and splitting with other divine mines along the way, making it impossible to discern the number of mines.

Kong Bai's expression changed drastically. He had not expected that a mere Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Northern Region could unleash such thunder magic, making him no less formidable than the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Thunder Sect he had ever seen.

The sword light shifted, transforming into a wisp of sword light that annihilated the transparent divine lightning bolts one by one, but it stopped in place, unable to move forward even half a step.

"Well done!"

Xiang Ji didn't take it seriously. His dark eyes looked over and shot out two sword threads, which blocked the attacks of Ge Cang and Yan Yuanzai respectively.

Breaking through on the battlefield, he returned to the realm of sword refining into silk, a realm he had sacrificed countless times.

The greater the pressure, the closer one gets to the brink of life and death, the more opportunities a swordsman has to unleash their years of accumulated sword skills and achieve a breakthrough.

This is why sword cultivators are often brave and warlike, frequently engaging in combat. In fact, what they learn in a single battle is more effective than what they gain from years of sitting in meditation.

Sacrificing one's swordsmanship realm is equivalent to starting all over again, losing all the experience and insights one once possessed.

At most, they retain only a fraction of their eyesight, making them only slightly better than novice sword cultivators.

The fact that Xiang Ji was able to repeatedly cultivate his swordsmanship to the third level demonstrates his exceptional talent and ability.

He fought three Nascent Soul True Monarchs alone, none of whom were ordinary cultivators, and he was still able to hold on. He truly deserves to be called a sword prodigy who dared to embark on the path of forging his own Killing Demon Sword and to reproduce the style of the sect's Nascent Soul Ancestor.

It should be noted that the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Killing Sword Sect ten thousand years ago obtained a slightly incomplete fifth-tier flying sword from the Taibai Sword Sect on his path to enlightenment.

With the addition of the Killing Demon Sword, and with its assistance, they were able to take the most difficult step.

Otherwise, it would still be a long way off for him to push the Killing Demon Sword to the fifth level on his own.

Without any extraordinary opportunities or external assistance, Xiang Ji pushed the Killing Demon Sword to the pinnacle of fourth-tier flying swords, making the fifth-tier flying sword a distant dream.

With such talent, it's no wonder that some disciples in the Killing Sword Sect claim that Ancestor Xiangji is the most talented person in the sect's history.

In the blink of an eye, it was all over.

Xiang Ji sought another change, and a mouthful of blood shot out like a sword, spraying onto the Killing Demon Sword.

The flying sword forged from his arm bone was instantly tinged with crimson color upon being stimulated by the blood essence from the same source.

The original Xuanmo Giant Sword transformed into a black and red sword thread, shattering the hundreds or thousands of assembled flying sword scrolls blocking its path, and rushing into the Sword Tomb Realm.

All the flying swords wailed, their blades trembling as if their end was nigh.

Click!Click!
These flying swords fell like fallen straw, one circle after another. Their already damaged and broken blades could not withstand the devastation of the true intent of slaughter.

Even as a part of the Nascent Soul Realm, with the advantage of home-field advantage, it collapsed again from the inside out.

puff!
Tang Fei's face grew increasingly pale after his Nascent Soul Realm, which he had cultivated and refined for hundreds of years, was damaged. His body shrunk even further, resembling a frail old man on the verge of death.

Only those eyes, bright as stars, pierced through the deep, inky sword light.

The Tai Xuan White-Haired Sword returned to his hand, his chest heaved, and he calmly swung the sword.

Without joy or sorrow, without surprise or fear, only a burning passion for the way of the sword remains in my heart, just like that young swordsman on Sword Mountain hundreds of years ago.

The Tai Xuan White-Headed Sword transformed into thousands of sword lights, sweeping across the sky and the earth. Each sword light possessed actual destructive power, and was not an illusory sword shadow or a power that was dispersed among individual sword lights.

Each sword light contained one-tenth of the original body's destructive power, instantly raising the upper limit of its power to a new level.

Faced with countless sword lights, the black and red sword threads were utterly defeated, and the Killing Demon Sword spun back into Xiang Ji's hand.

The fourth realm of swordsmanship: sword light splits!
