Born with immortal seed

Chapter 789 The real trump card

"If we go deeper, who knows how many monsters are hidden there? We'll only be safe once the army arrives, sets up a formation, and forces those two demon kings out."

Song Ding arrived at the water's eye, and the closer he got to the center, the stronger the whirlpool became.

Even with the Great True Lord's eyesight, he couldn't see very far in this complex environment; it was all a jumbled mess.

Throughout his cultivation, he has engaged in hundreds of battles, large and small, but only suffered a defeat against the Five Elements Peacock.

But this defeat taught him a lot and even completely changed his perception.

It's not just about incorporating the Five Elements Dao into swordsmanship, but also about a change in mindset; he no longer dares to underestimate the heroes of the world.

He was a prodigy from childhood, and even if he occasionally encountered setbacks, it was because he set his standards too high.

Beneath his seemingly calm exterior lies a deep disdain for everyone.

So what if he's a once-in-a-millennium holy son of the Daode Sect? He can fight to a draw against a fully formed Core Formation cultivator even in the early stages of Core Formation.

This was even without him using the Azure Emperor Longevity Sword, the most iconic weapon of his sect.

There's a hidden mentality that everyone in the cultivation world, except for one's own master, is just a nobody.

However, in his first battle after transforming into a Nascent Soul, he suffered a crushing defeat, being completely overwhelmed by the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Although there was a difference in their cultivation levels, the other party possessed a Five Elements True Feather of an excessively high grade.

But I still told him the truth that there are always people more capable than you.

Faced with the mysterious water eye, one can remain cautious and not rush in recklessly.

He was fully confident that he could force the two demon kings out of their lair and engage them in a direct confrontation.

In the past hundred years, the greatest progress was not in reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but in catching up with Ye Douyi of the Moral Sect in terms of cultivation level.

Instead, he recognized the true purpose of the Guicang Sacred Body and, with the help of the five true feathers, disassembled and rebuilt the Great Five Elements Nirvana Divine Light.

Under the guidance of his master, he forged five new fourth-tier flying swords, which together formed the Five Elements Divine Sword.

He then used his great supernatural powers to lend him five true feathers for him to study and comprehend.

It can be said that the current Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light is completely different from that transmitted by the Five Elements Sect.

Indigo blue is superior to indigo blue, and ice is colder than water.

Song Ding touched the things in his sleeves, sat on the crest of a wave with his sword across his body, and quietly observed the water's surface.

With extensive experience in naval battles, Cunsi Peak dispatched three large warships and over a thousand disciples to jointly suppress the North Sea demons.

In the pioneering efforts of Xuanzhou, the Moral Sect lagged behind others.

They intended to observe the situation calmly, but an unexpected event caused the Time Sword Lord's divine sense clone to take action, which immediately accelerated the entire exploration process.

In just a few decades, they occupied 40% of Xuanzhou's territory. Even with only extensive management, the amount of resources they seized each year was an unimaginable astronomical figure.

Crucially, many of these are spiritual creatures that have long since vanished from the ancestral continent.

It is evident to the naked eye that several Nascent Soul sects, including the Dragon Tree Sect, have reaped astonishing rewards for their adventurous actions.

The sect's strength is growing rapidly.

Having lost the initiative, it will be extremely difficult for the Daode Sect to intervene again.

Unlike the Azure Maple Sect, although they did not contribute much in the early stages, they played a crucial role in facilitating the peace talks initiated by the demon king led by the Seven-Colored Deer Demon.

When allocating resources, there's no need to elaborate; the Qingfeng Sect will naturally receive the largest share.

When Song Ding returned to Xuanzhou and was about to deal with the two demon kings of the North Sea, the Daode Sect did not miss the opportunity and immediately invested a large amount of manpower and resources.

They want to get a share of the pie in Beihai in the future.

After sitting in meditation for several days, a giant wave suddenly surged in the center of the water eye, and a handsome, effeminate cultivator appeared riding the wave.

"Five Elements Sword, those with the guts, follow me into the sea for a battle!"

The Hydra King carried a long, azure sword, as if it had been pulled from the sea, its blade seemingly connected to the entire ocean.

Each wave stirs up the ripples of Jianshan Mountain.

"If you can defeat me, I will present this fifth-tier Overturning Sea Sword to you!"

The local demon race dominates a continent and a sea, possessing inexhaustible cultivation resources and mountains of top-tier spiritual objects.

These demon kings have never lacked resources, but they still don't have many magic treasures of the Tongtian Lingbao level, far fewer than in Zuzhou.

There's no other reason than that there are too few beings at the Nascent Soul stage.

Before the great changes in the world, for some unknown reason, most of the cultivators and demons who descended to the ancestral continent went to the ancestral continent, and very few appeared in other continents and seas.

This has resulted in very few relics and secret realms in other continents and seas, except for the exceptional case of Penglai Island in the West Sea.

This Overturning Sea Sword was found by the Hydra Demon King in his ancestral tomb to preserve his demonic body from decay.

"What a joke! I'll come back for you after I've killed you!"

Song Ding's eyes lit up. His master had crafted a set of fourth-tier flying swords that were most compatible with the Five Elements Divine Sword for him.

Combined, their destructive power is no less than that of a fifth-tier flying sword.

The drawback of this multi-sword set lies in the cumulative consumption of true essence when controlling the sword simultaneously.

The simultaneous release of five fourth-tier flying swords requires no less true essence than that of a fifth-tier flying sword, and is even more difficult to control; it is simply impossible for anyone without a clear sword mind.

Fortunately, Song Ding cultivated the Dongxuan Lushen Sword Scripture and was able to refine multiple natal flying swords, perfectly avoiding these shortcomings.

But as a sword cultivator, his longing for high-level flying swords is irreplaceable.

Obtaining a fifth-tier flying sword through normal means is extremely difficult.

How could one not be excited to suddenly discover that the demon king, whom they had been relentlessly pursuing, possessed such a thing?

"Human, this is your burial ground. Today, I will avenge the blood debt owed to your fallen kin!"

A demonic dragon burst forth from behind, dark clouds looming overhead, while countless crystalline water chains rose up, sealing off this space.

Even with top-tier escape techniques, it's impossible to break free and escape in a short time.

That was enough time for the two demon kings to free up their hands and pull him back into the battlefield.

"Just the two of you?"

Song Ding sneered, and with a series of crisp sword cries, red, yellow, blue, white and black sword light fell into his hand, heavy yet light, passionate yet cold, all kinds of contradictory sword intents gathered together.

"If you had that kind of ability, why didn't you come to join forces with me sooner? Why wait until today?"

As the five-colored sword light plunged into the seawater, it slowed down the raging whirlpool and the water eye that was emitting endless suction, causing it to merge with the outer sea.

In an instant, they seized control of the waterway and bridged the gap in playing on home turf.

When fighting in the sea, the strength of aquatic monsters increases by half a level by default.

However, with the help of the Five-Colored True Feather, Song Ding's Five Elements Divine Sword is already transforming into a sword that controls the Five Elements Dao.

Its domineering and powerful aspects surpass the original by ten times.

"Make your move! He's already in the late Nascent Soul stage!"

As the Five Elements Divine Sword was activated, its aura was revealed, and the Nine-Headed Hydra Demon King roared, noticing the change in cultivation level.

Even Song Ding, who was only in the mid-Nascent Soul stage in the past, could chase after it and cut it down. Now that he has crossed such an important threshold, wouldn't he have the ability to kill it quickly?

How could he dare to be careless? He pushed the Overturning Sea Sword forward, and a huge nine-headed serpent appeared. It turned out that the true body of the deceased was hidden in the world within the sword.

Eighteen snake eyes lit up simultaneously, watching over from within the clouds, piercing through layers of mist.

Everything in sight was still and motionless.

The air, the waves, the sword light, and even Song Ding himself were all stunned by this oppressive force, unable to even move a finger.

The divine sense shifted, slowing down a million times, and the nascent soul in the dantian was still stuck in the previous moment's action.

Fifth-Order Demon Lord!

Song Ding never expected that a demon lord was hidden in the water's eye.

This was indeed a solemn guarantee from the Seven-Colored Deer Demon: Xuanzhou had not seen a Nascent Soul cultivator for tens of thousands of years, and the same was true for the North Sea.

If such a being truly existed among the demon race, it shouldn't have waited until now; it should have killed itself with a single blow long ago.

"Brother Jiao, what are you waiting for? This is not the time to be stingy with the remains of our ancestors!"

The Hydra King shouted anxiously, only after all his demonic energy was drained could he unleash the power of his remains and recreate the divine might of his ancestor.

To perform even one more action, one must burn one's origin and use the same bloodline to drive the remains.

It would never do something that would greatly diminish its strength and benefit the Demon King of the Flood Dragon.

In fact, when there were no external enemies of the human race, it would not be an exaggeration to describe the relationship between the two as irreconcilable.

The Demon King hesitated for a moment, but did not delay any longer, and opened his mouth to spew.

Who can guarantee that Song Ding doesn't have a backup plan arranged by his master? If he really summons the divine sense clone from that day, even if he can achieve the predetermined goal, the two demon kings will not be able to escape this sea area.

Most likely, he will die like the Five Elements Peacock, from the sword of his divine consciousness clone.

The premise of this plan is that the Hydra Demon Lord's bloodline power is to petrify everything. If he is targeted by all eighteen snake eyes at the same time, his body and soul will be in a state of stagnation, and even passively triggered restrictions cannot be activated.

Apart from its size, this demonic dragon was no different from the demonic dragon king present, except that its body was covered with wounds that would never heal.

With a silent roar, two balls of demonic fire floated out.

A mass gradually turned inky black, lunging forward like a fiery dragon. Along its path, the seawater burned into the air, leaving behind only a layer of misty fog.

The other ball was a transparent, cold flame, which looked light and swaying, moving forward and backward, but was actually more dangerous.

The Demon Dragon Clan possesses the bloodline of the Demon Dragons from the Heavenly Demon Realm. Upon reaching the fifth rank, they will develop some demonic supernatural abilities.

If given the opportunity to ascend, one will have two choices: the Heavenly Demon Realm or the Heavenly Demon Realm.

This cold flame is infamous in the Heavenly Demon Realm, known as the Nine-Soul Demon Flame, which specifically harms the primordial spirit.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators who have refined their spiritual essence and solidified their primordial spirit cannot withstand the repeated scorching of the Nine Souls Demon Flame, and will cry out in agony within moments.

If left for a longer period, the primordial spirit will be burned to charcoal, while the physical body will remain intact.

In the Demon Realm, demons most enjoy using this cold flame to kill their enemies. Before death, they suffer endless torment, and after death, their complete bodies are given to their enemies to be refined into puppets or clones.

"Break it for me!"

Song Ding's face was flushed, and two streams of bloody tears flowed from his eyes. A vast and lofty sword intent surged up, completely different from his Five Elements Sword Intent.

It actually broke through the divine eye restraint of the Nine-Headed Serpent Demon Lord, and a sound of shattering seemed to be heard.

The river of time flashed by, and the true essence of time was exhausted in the struggle against the pressure of the Demon Lord, ending halfway.

But Song Ding was already quite satisfied, having created a sliver of hope for himself in an otherwise impossible situation.

Apart from the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, which embodies the true meaning of time, no other supernatural power can perform so well under the suppression of a higher realm.

Even the more advanced Five Elements Divine Sword wouldn't work.

Only the Great Dao of Time, relying on its innate advantage in status, can disregard realms and break the deadlock.

"The remains of a demon lord? Or two of them?"

If he can use his skills normally, Song Ding won't be defeated in one move.

The crimson, yellow, blue, white, and black sword lights spun wildly, catching the inky flames, while the Nine Souls Demon Flame was directly deflected.

Although I didn't know the details, I subconsciously felt that this cold and beautiful woman was more dangerous, and even indirect contact would have unimaginable consequences.

After exchanging blows, he quickly realized that it was not the real Demon Lord, but the true form of a demon after death.

Otherwise, if attacked by two demon lords, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to kill him.

"After a fifth-tier demon dies, it can leave behind its demonic body. Shouldn't it directly assimilate into the world and become a part of nature...?"

As the direct disciple of the Sword Master of Time, Song Ding was intimately familiar with his master's several major battles and had firsthand, detailed, and accurate records of them.

I clearly remember that the battle in which my master was truly regarded as a living sword immortal in the cultivation world, surpassing all previous sword cultivators, was when he used his Nascent Soul cultivation to defeat the Demon Clan's Red-Eared Ancestor.

After the death of the Red-Eared Ancestor, he turned into a high mountain, which prevented the Time Sword Lord from gaining much spoils of war.

Later, it became a scenic spot, and a sect was established here. Several mineral veins were discovered, and the concentration of spiritual energy exceeded that of the surrounding spiritual lands.

However, this is not the time to dwell on this point. It is obvious that these two North Sea Demon Kings have used their trump card, employing secret techniques to revitalize the remains of their ancestors.

He couldn't compare to a true Nascent Soul cultivator, but at least he had the air of a Demon Lord. He could crush any opponent below the Nascent Soul level with a single finger.

It was only because Song Ding's strength was so astonishing that two remains were used simultaneously to ensure absolute safety.

Seeing the two demon lords attack simultaneously again, the violent demonic power even created a vacuum above his head, tearing open countless spatial rifts.

Before the five-colored sword light could even be unleashed, it continuously collapsed and disintegrated, only to reassemble once more.

The nine-headed serpent demon lord thrust several of its heads downwards and rammed into the five-colored sword light, causing it to emit several mournful cries.

pat!

The five flying swords completely disintegrated, floating on the sea surface and still trembling, their blades severely damaged.

All of them were his natal flying swords. Song Ding's mind and spirit were connected, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.

Even at this point, he remained confident, his eyes as bright as when he first entered the path, unchanged.

"Master was indeed prescient, saying that my journey in the North Sea would not be so smooth... To facilitate my comprehension of the Five Elements Great Dao, he directly sent the five True Feathers to my side."

Song Ding raised an arm, and five feathers slid out from his sleeve.

It was the True Feather of the Demon God that was obtained from the Five Elements Peacock when it was killed.

Song Ding stayed in Beihai for many years. In order for his disciple to be able to comprehend at any time, Bai Zichen used his great supernatural powers to separate his divine thoughts and attach them to him.

It's as if the divine power of five Time Sword Lords helped Song Dingjian reduce his weight, making it easy for him to carry around.

Otherwise, with his cultivation level, he would have been crushed to the ground long ago, unable to move.

Song Ding bent his finger, raised it to his brow, and drew it forward.

As the five true feathers were unleashed simultaneously, it felt as if the earth, water, wind, and fire in this space were disrupted and reset, and all other forces were swept away completely.

In this new world, no other forces are allowed to exist.

The nine-headed serpent demon lord was grazed by the five-colored divine light, and half of his body vaporized, causing him to lose his balance and fall into the sea.

With another sweep, both balls of demonic flame were simultaneously engulfed and vanished.

It was the same method used by the Five Elements Peacock to use real feathers, slightly modified, and then used the real feathers crudely.

He possesses the Guicang Sacred Body and has a special connection with the Five Elements Peacock. Their understanding of the Five Elements True Feathers is roughly equal, with the latter relying more on the inherent wonder of the True Feathers themselves.
