Born with immortal seed

Chapter 539 True Meaning Integrates into the Sword Formation
"This is impossible!"

The Blood Demon roared in disbelief. He dared to hunt down past Nascent Soul cultivators at will, not only because he was confident in his strength, but more importantly because he relied on the innate supernatural abilities of his clan.

The Hundred Fiends Blood Sea Great Art is derived from the Blood Nerve of the Blood Demon Clan, and it is a technique that can make one of the best at surviving in the human world.

The original technique was even more exaggerated. Every blood demon was born with a perfect fit for this technique, and as long as they were immersed in the ancient sea of ​​blood, they could continuously improve their strength.

Even if one's soul and spirit are destroyed outside, one can be reborn through a blood core stored in the sea of ​​blood.

As for the others, injury transfer, blood shadow substitution, and rebirth from a drop of blood can all be easily accomplished.

That's why his fighting style is so aggressive, and he's not afraid of falling into any traps or encirclements.

In ancient times, the Blood Demon slaughtered millions of living beings in order to enjoy blood, incurring the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, and was listed on the Demon Slayer List of the Moral Sect.

Several human cultivators at the Transformation Realm have ambushed him multiple times, and some have even managed to kill him.

But for the Blood Demon, it was nothing more than losing an avatar of the Blood God and wasting a hundred years.

With an endless supply of flesh and blood beings, it would be far too easy for the Blood Demon to rebuild his cultivation level.

"You think you can leave so easily once you've entered my sword formation? I'll show you the true Star River Sword Formation when you have the matching techniques!"

Bai Zichen was surrounded by the twelve stars, residing deep within the starry sky, his voice echoing from afar.

Only after evolving the sword formation using the Dongxuan Lushen Sword Scripture could he understand why Xinghe Sword Lord could stand out among the many powerful sword cultivators of Taibai Sword Sect with just a sword formation, and why he was called the second-best sword formation in the world even before he himself had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

If the Star River Sword Formation, which was previously activated by the Fire Dragon Returning to Origin Scripture, was a silent and vast starry sky, with the twelve stars rising and falling normally.

The starry sky beneath the Dongxuan Slaughtering God Sword Scripture is now filled with murderous intent, and a chilling aura pervades the entire world.

As long as the person setting up the formation has a single thought, the enemies within the formation will become outcasts in the entire starry sky, ostracized by heaven and earth, and intolerable to the world.

Once a creature enters the formation, its aura is captured. No matter what methods you use, as long as you don't exceed the limit of the strongest flying sword in the formation, you cannot escape.

Even the legendary Vacuum Holy Body, which can ignore any restrictions and traverse the void, or the Blood Demon's method of rebirth in other places.

Ultimately, the focus must return to the Star River Sword Formation.

The flying sword in the formation rises one rank, becoming equivalent to a fifth-rank flying sword.

That means that only sixth-tier methods can ignore the locking effect of this starry sky and recall power.

The twelve stars shone brightly together, which was already a simultaneous burst of sword light. With the sword light further divided into different realms, it could only be said that the entire world was almost submerged by the sword light.

The various sword lights were overwhelming for the Blood Demon. Despite blocking thousands upon thousands of sword lights, he was still struck by subsequent sword lights.

He transformed into a blood shadow and fled, creating countless clones, but under the saturation attack within the Star River Sword Formation, all these supernatural abilities became useless.

Regardless of which blood shadow is real, the moment it appears, hundreds or thousands of sword lights will bombard it.

No matter how powerful one's escape techniques are, allowing one to travel thousands of miles in the blink of an eye, the starry sky has become a sea of ​​sword light, and no matter where one goes, one cannot escape the sword light above one's head.

Blood Demon felt frustrated and couldn't understand how a mere mid-Nascent Soul sword cultivator could outlast the Star River Sword Formation of yesteryear.

Even with the Dongxuan Lushen Sword Scripture, the consumption of true essence in such a sword formation would still be astronomical.

Otherwise, the Star River Sword Lord wouldn't have pushed himself to the point of exhaustion just to operate the sword formation.

"The Law of Heaven and Earth, the True Demonic Saint Body!"

The Blood Demon ripped open its chest, and a ball of black blood churned up, instantly growing to a height of ten thousand feet.

And its form continued to expand, raising both palms to grab at a star in front of it.

"Yuexuan, change!"

Xiao Bai's nascent soul hardened its expression, and it reached out and flicked the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box, swapping the positions of the nearest Moon Spin Sword and Thunder Sound Sword.

Two giant hands reached for the stars, and in the next moment they became a bright moon. The hands seemed to be immersed in a pool, breaking the whole moon into fragments of moonlight that rippled outwards.

After the giant hand left, it reformed into a bright moon, casting its cool moonlight.

Countless moonlight sword beams unleashed, piercing the two giant hands with countless holes, as if a rain of blood was falling from the sky.

In just a short while, the starry sky continued to evolve, and the twelve constellations suddenly rose one level.

Its expansion speed is significantly faster than that of the Blood Demon True Demon Holy Body.

Once the twelve constellations reversed their direction, such a large target would suffer many times more damage than before.

Less than an hour later, the Blood Demon was killed again and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

In an instant, he was reborn within the sword formation under the same circumstances as before.

This time, the Blood Demon learned his lesson and used a special ability as soon as he appeared to conceal his form.

"No, it didn't hide its form, but turned into a pool of blood and seeped into the earth... while its original body became a proton in the blood and has disappeared."

Within the sword formation, Bai Zichen was everything, meaning he maintained a state of perfect insight at all times.

Furthermore, due to the enhancement of the sword formation, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it impossible to conceal their presence.

He merely sneered at the Blood Demon's actions, then wiped away the twelve sword shadows on the sword box, turning them all around.

Stars fell, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked; the starry sky and the heavens and earth instantly entered a state of destruction under the control of his master.

Space collapsed inch by inch, and heaven and earth returned to chaos. Earth, water, wind, and fire clashed endlessly, turning all things into nothingness.

A grain of soil shot out, its blood-red aura rapidly surging, about to fly out of the sword formation.

However, its speed of flight was ultimately no match for the speed of destruction of the starry sky and the heavens. The terrifying suction force pulled the blood shadow in and transformed it into the most primordial primordial energy of heaven and earth.

"Not being able to find you doesn't mean there's no way to deal with you... It's just a matter of overturning the chessboard and starting over."

Bai Zichen looked at the gale that had reappeared on all sides, took a deep breath, and set up the Star River Sword Formation once again.

Sure enough, the Blood Demon was reborn a few days later.

"Boy, stop!"

The Blood Demon was clearly afraid and started shouting as soon as it arrived.

"Let's call it quits here and go our separate ways. I will not come after you again, nor will I reveal the news that the Taibai Sword Sect still has a successor to your sect's enemies! As the last successor, you should know that the enemies of the Taibai Sword Sect are people you cannot afford to offend. The Sword Sect in its heyday was wiped out in an instant, let alone you, a lone successor."

"Your life and death are now in my hands, what right do you have to negotiate with me?"

Bai Zichen's heart stirred, and he slowed down the Starry Sword Light slightly, forming a cage.

There was a key point in the Blood Demon's words that he was very concerned about; it seemed to involve the truth behind the destruction of the Taibai Sword Sect.

He had no interest in starting a new Taibai Sword Sect like Zhuo Xiong, let alone seeking revenge.

But since he had practiced the Dongxuan Lushen Sword Scripture and possessed the Xinghe Sword Formation, no one believed him if he said he had no connection with the Taibai Sword Sect.

It is necessary to find out exactly who the Taibai Sword Sect's enemies are, lest they unknowingly create many more adversaries without even realizing it.

Judging from the Blood Demon's tone, these enemies are still in the mortal realm.

Of course, it's also possible that this demon made up something just to save his own life.

"What use is it that you can imprison the rebirth location within the sword formation... With my own foundation, I can revive at least tens of thousands of times. How long can your sword formation last? It's just a waste of both sides' resources."

This time, the Blood Demon spoke, and his arrogance was less pronounced than before.

"Then you can try and see how long my sword formation can last."

Bai Zichen replied stiffly that as long as the stars are not activated for direct attack, but only sword light is generated, the current Star River Sword Formation can continue for several years without any problems.

"But what's the point? I'm focused on escaping, and I have hundreds of life-saving techniques at my disposal... It's easy to prolong my life by several days each time. With tens of thousands of rebirths, it would take at least several hundred years to truly kill me. Even if you could do it, is it really worth spending that much time?"

Blood Demon was speechless at this answer. Considering that the Star River Sword Formation was now performing beyond his expectations, he really didn't have the confidence to refute it.

"At your age and with such cultivation, this is the perfect time for you to seize the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. If you delay even a moment, you will regret it in the future. I can give you a scroll of Nascent Soul cultivation insights. Is that alright?"

"No need. Tell me who the real mastermind behind the destruction of the Taibai Sword Sect was back then?"

Bai Zichen remained unmoved; he wouldn't even accept the so-called Nascent Soul Transformation experience offered by an ancient demon.

Leaving aside the fact that it comes from the Nascent Soul stage from the Heavenly Demon Realm, it's already a headache enough whether human cultivators can actually use it, and whether the content is authentic or contains any errors or hidden dangers.

No matter how down on his luck he is now, the Blood Demon is still a powerful being who descends to the realm. How could a mere Nascent Soul True Monarch possibly see through his modifications to a scroll of Nascent Soul cultivation techniques?

"I can only tell you that all the demons in the human realm from the Heavenly Demon Realm were involved in this matter, including many true Void Refinement Venerables!"

The Blood Demon kept staring at Bai Zichen's face, trying to see a look of fear and panic on his face.

"We lured the extraterrestrial demons to descend in advance, and used a secret technique to place their birthplace within the Taibai Sword Sect's mountain gate... Besides the demons, there is another force that wants to die at the Taibai Sword Sect. We took action to reward them, conceal the changes in the heavens, and carry out any unforeseen contingencies."

"Who is it, and which faction?"

Bai Zichen blurted out and hurriedly asked for clarification.

"Release the sword formation and let me leave, and I will inform you."

Blood Demon revealed a smug look, feeling that he had grasped the key point. Not a single disciple of Taibai Sword Sect wanted to find out the truth of what happened back then, nor did they not want to take revenge.

"Alright, it's time to end this..."

The little white nascent soul sighed softly, closed its eyes, and pressed its little hand down.

The sword light, which had been gathering strength for a long time, roared and blasted the blood demon, who hadn't even had a chance to react, into pieces, scattering into clouds of blood mist.

No matter how eloquently the Blood Demon spoke, he would never let the other party leave willingly.

If such a demon is released, the consequences will be endless, and countless lives will be lost.

Even if he were to release the sword formation, the Blood Demon would not keep his promise and tell the truth about the past of the Taibai Sword Sect.

Keeping promises is a foreign concept to the ancient demons.

Besides, after saying so much, you can probably guess the gist of it.

"The Ancient Demons and the Celestial Demons are rivals, but they are close allies when it comes to dealing with the human race. Since the return of the Immortal Realm's High Immortals and the disappearance of the Ascension Platform, the trend of the two races joining forces has become even more obvious. Since the Ancient Demons have mobilized all their forces, how could the Celestial Demons be absent..."

Little White Nascent Soul murmured, feeling that he had lifted another layer of the mysterious veil surrounding the destruction of the Taibai Sword Sect.

"The ancient demons charged into battle, while the celestial demons plotted in secret, trying to stop the human Nascent Soul cultivators who might help the Sword Sect. If the two races' powerful beings from the upper realm joined forces, then the destruction of the Taibai Sword Sect would not be unjust. Who could stop so many Nascent Soul cultivators, including some Venerables with real cultivation at the Refinement of Emptiness realm?"

In the late ancient times, those ancient demons and celestial monsters that still existed in the human world were barely surviving by using every means possible, far less powerful than in their heyday.

However, being an ancient being, it can still unleash terrifying power in a short period of time if it spares no expense.

In the entire cultivation world, perhaps only the Moral Sect has the resources to withstand it.

"Are you crazy? Why are you going back on your word!"

The reborn Blood Demon cursed wildly, thinking he could escape, but unexpectedly died again.

He has only survived to this day because of secret techniques, and every time he dies, it is equivalent to depleting his original power.

If this happens hundreds more times, he might revert to being a demonic seed and remain dormant for another ten thousand years before awakening.

"You're just wasting your time. I swear, one day I will place your soul deep within a sea of ​​blood, burning it every night. Your body will be refined into a blood slave to be at my beck and call! And your fellow disciples, your relatives, all of them will become blood beasts!"

The Blood Demon roared several times, but received no response. He then revealed his true form and vented his violent emotions.

“I am different from others. To this day, I have not been able to draw much power from my own Great Dao. I can only rely on the Azure Emperor Longevity Sword as the only channel to exert my power… What kind of changes would occur if I sprinkled the true meaning of time into the sword formation?”

The little white nascent soul suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a sharp glint in them. It reached out and grabbed the River of Time behind it, scooping up two handfuls of water and sprinkling them onto the twelve flying swords.

Possessing the most mysterious, unpredictable, and powerful Dao of Time in the world, yet having no further means to utilize it, it is a case of entering a treasure mountain and leaving empty-handed.

He had been quietly figuring out how to make use of it all along.

The newly formed Star River Sword Formation shows the rudiments of heaven and earth, and has the foundation to bear the true meaning of time.

The 'time encircles the body' gives the true meaning of time a concrete manifestation, unlike the true meaning of oneself which vanishes with a thought or a urge.

When the Star River Sword Formation merged with the True Meaning of Time, the Starry Sky Sword Intent that already existed in the formation did not resist at all, but instead welcomed it very much.

The evolution of this world accelerated a hundredfold, the twelve stars expanded and grew wildly, and even the Milky Way deep within was filled with twinkling starlight, as new celestial bodies were born.

The Blood Demon was horrified to discover that the starlight sword light crashing against him possessed an inexplicable power.

The blood-red light outside the formation was rapidly shrinking. Ten thousand miles away, a well exploded, a spring gushed out, and a flash of blood-red light disappeared.

Ten thousand miles away, all the blood beasts in the underground blood pool let out a mournful cry and then fell silent.

Millions of miles away, at the bottom of a volcano, a blood-red dagger, aged and decayed over countless years, was shattered into fragments by the lava.

"What kind of technique is this? No, this isn't the power of a sword formation!"

As one rebirth after another failed, the Blood Demon truly panicked for the first time, discovering that even the flow of blood in his body had slowed down.
