The Rise of the Sect: I am the most persistent person in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 1198 Ten Thousand Swords Slay the Demon! You've broken through again!
Blood Demon's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators present had complex expressions on their faces.

The Flying Heaven Sect has risen to prominence and is now a top-tier sect in the cultivation world.

In particular, Ye Daozu's combat power was outstanding. He had killed many demons throughout history, and even demons at the Refining Void Dao Realm had fallen under his sword.

However, compared to the demon race, whose lineage has been passed down for countless millennia...

Flying Gate is indeed still relatively inexperienced.

Many human cultivators on the field showed anger, but because they were wary of the Blood Demon Child's strength, none of them dared to step forward and refute him.

At this moment, a white-haired cultivator from the Heavenly Sword Sect couldn't help but speak, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity.

"Blood Demon Child, don't be arrogant! Dao Ancestor Ye has killed countless old demons throughout history. If you really go against him, you may not come out on top!"

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Blood Demon Prince seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and threw his head back and laughed wildly.

The surrounding crimson demonic energy surged with his laughter, turning the air around him a dark red.

"They're nothing but a bunch of guys who rely on their reputation to put on a show! I've roamed the Demon Realm for a hundred years, and I've killed at least eight or ten Void Refinement cultivators. If Ye Yang dares to appear before me, I'll make him a laughingstock in the cultivation world!"

These words completely ignited the anger on the field.

Seeing the cold corpses of several cultivators not far away, and the blood-dripping demonic blade in the Blood Demon Prince's hand, the group still dared not make any rash moves.

In the midst of this oppressive silence, an angry shout suddenly erupted from the crowd.

"Shut up! You fiend, how dare you mention the name of the Dao Ancestor of my Flying Heaven Sect!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young cultivator dressed in red robes from the Flying Heaven Sect quickly walk out.

He was tall and straight, exuding the powerful aura of a Golden Core cultivator.

Although for Blood Demon Child, such cultivation was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

However, he stubbornly withstood the demonic power of the Dao Ancestor of Refining Emptiness and faced the Blood Demon Child directly, his eyes burning like raging fire, full of anger.

"You little brat, how dare you!"

Blood Demon Prince narrowed his eyes, sizing up Blood Flame with disdain, a cruel smile playing on his lips.

"He's just a minor cultivator at the True Person Realm, yet he dares to talk back to me?"

"Is the Flying Heaven Sect out of people? Sending a greenhorn like you out to die?"

"Although my disciples of the Flying Heaven Sect are not as bloodthirsty as you, we will never allow anyone to insult our sect or our Dao Ancestor!"

Xueyan gripped his longsword tightly, red energy flowing around the blade, emitting a buzzing sound.

"If the Dao Ancestor were here, he could cut you down with a single sword strike, showing you what true majesty is!"

"Hahaha! You're really courting death!"

Blood Demon Prince was completely enraged, and his demonic energy surged suddenly.

The demonic blade in his hand pointed at Blood Flame, and crimson blade energy instantly condensed, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound.

"A mere ant at the level of a True Immortal dares to spout such nonsense in front of me!"

"Since you're so eager to die for the Flying Heaven Sect, then I'll grant your wish today! I'll kill you first, you little brat, and then wait for that Dao Ancestor Ye to come and face his death!"

Before he finished speaking, Blood Demon Child leaped up and slashed his demonic blade fiercely down at Blood Flame.

Wherever the crimson blade energy passed, the air was torn apart, and a deep trench was opened in the ground. The surrounding cultivators retreated one after another, fearing that they would be affected by this terrifying blade energy.

Xue Yan's expression changed. He knew that there was a huge gap between his cultivation and that of Xue Mozi, but he thought of the honor of the sect and the majesty of the Dao Ancestor.
He gritted his teeth and raised his longsword, channeling all his spiritual power into the magical artifact in front of him, trying to block the fatal blow.

"Things that don't overestimate their own capabilities!"

Seeing that Blood Flame dared to resist, Blood Demon Prince's killing intent intensified, and his sword aura grew even stronger.

"Today I'll show you the power of the Dao Ancestor! Young people these days are really getting more and more arrogant."

He finished speaking.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a vast crimson blade aura, carrying a world-destroying force, slashed down towards Blood Flame.

The air along the way was compressed, emitting a mournful hissing sound, and all the rubble on the ground was swept into the blade's energy and turned into dust.

The surrounding cultivators all closed their eyes.

The gust of wind rushing towards them felt as if it were going to slice their bones and skin off them. Even from a great distance, it felt as if they were about to be plunged into the aura of the blade.

How could a mere True Immortal cultivator possibly withstand an attack from a Void Refinement Realm cultivator?

All resistance and defiance are ultimately futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Xue Yan gritted his teeth and channeled all his magical power into his body.

A burst of blood-red light erupted before them, forming a terrifying sun—a sign that the Nine Yang Treasure Mirror had been cultivated to its ultimate level.

At this moment, a simple barrier was formed outside the vast expanse of the sun.

Xue Yan knew very well that this barrier was no match for the crimson blade energy, but he still did not back down.

For him, Flying Gate was his home.

Ye Daozu was an old friend of his father, and even more so, a mentor figure. Even if he were to be shattered to pieces, he could not allow the sect to be disgraced.

"boom!"

Two phases collide.

Just as the crimson blade energy was about to collide with the spiritual energy barrier, a faint, almost invisible stream of azure energy suddenly emerged from the void and silently merged into the blood flame's spiritual energy barrier.

The originally fragile spiritual energy barrier instantly solidified, and a faint blue light emanated from its surface, as if it had been draped in an indestructible armor.

The crimson blade energy slammed into the barrier, producing a deafening roar.

A shocking scene occurred.

That sword energy, powerful enough to kill an ordinary early-stage Void Refinement cultivator, was actually blocked by this seemingly ordinary barrier and the vast blood yang!

Countless crimson lines spread wildly across the surface of the barrier, yet they could not break through the faint light.

Finally, it receded slowly like the tide and dissipated into the air.

"This...how is this possible?!"

The cultivators on the field instantly erupted in chaos, their eyes widening in disbelief.

A cultivator from the Flowing Cloud Sect couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Although Xue Yan has a minor reputation, he is merely a True Person cultivator. How could he possibly withstand the full-force attack of the Void Refining Demon?"

"This is completely contrary to the common sense of the cultivation world!"

The Taixu Daoist disciples standing nearby also shook their heads repeatedly.

“No, there seemed to be another power on that barrier just now... it wasn’t just an ordinary True Person Realm cultivator.”

Even Xueyan himself was stunned at this moment.

He looked down at the longsword in his hand, then touched the barrier in front of him, his eyes full of doubt.

He knew his own strength very well; even if he used his full power, he couldn't possibly block this attack.

The reason why he was unharmed under the attack of the Blood Demon was because...

The main reason was that the sudden force that appeared earlier helped him withstand the attack.

At this moment, Blood Demon Prince hovered in mid-air, his mocking expression instantly freezing, replaced by deep astonishment and doubt.

He stared intently at the barrier in front of Xue Yan, his brows furrowed.

"Impossible! How could an ant at the True Person Realm possibly block my attack? What tricks are you hiding?"

He refused to believe in evil, and his demonic energy surged once more, a demonic blade suddenly appearing in his hand. The demonic blade emitted a blinding blood-red light, its curve resembling a crescent moon, yet devoid of any purity, instead resembling the bared fangs of a demon.

This time, he didn't unleash his sword energy directly.

Instead, he poured the demonic energy in his hand directly into the crescent-shaped demonic blade.

Countless strange demonic patterns appeared on the blade.

"He actually used a Dao artifact directly against a junior at the True Person realm."

"Truly shameless and disgusting!"

Many people showed disdain on their faces.

However, Blood Demon's attack this time was almost a full-force effort.

Its power far surpasses that of previous attacks.

"Kid, don't think you can survive by using underhanded methods!"

Blood Demon Prince sneered and slashed at Blood Flame with his demonic blade once more.

"Today I will show you what true despair is!"

Soon, a blood-red blade of energy, several times thicker than before, appeared out of thin air.

The surrounding cultivators sensed this aura and quickly circulated their magical power to resist it, fearing that the demonic runes would corrupt their minds.

Just then, the pale blue stream of air reappeared from the void.

It not only reinforced the spiritual energy barrier of the Blood Flame, but also formed a faint cyan vortex outside the barrier.

When the crimson blade energy collided with the barrier, the azure vortex instantly spun, like a giant funnel, slowly devouring and dissolving the power within the blade energy.

"boom!"

With another loud bang, the crimson blade energy completely dissipated, while the spiritual energy barrier in front of Xue Yan remained intact.

The cultivators on the field were completely shocked.

Some people even rubbed their eyes, thinking they were hallucinating.

An elderly monk with white hair spoke in a trembling voice.

"This...this is absolutely not something a True Person Realm cultivator could do! There must be a powerful expert secretly helping us!"

Blood Demon's face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

He stared into a certain direction in the void, his eyes sharp as knives.

Although the force was concealed, he still managed to detect a trace of it.

The owner of that power was definitely no less powerful than him!
"Humph!"

Blood Demon Prince snorted coldly, pointing his demonic blade at the void, his voice filled with intense killing intent.

"Now that you've arrived, why hide? Are you so ashamed to be seen by others?"

People looked in the direction the Blood Demon pointed, but saw nothing.

The void remained calm, as if everything that had just happened was merely the Blood Demon's illusion.

Seeing that no one responded, Blood Demon's killing intent intensified, and his tone became more sarcastic.

"What? Too scared to come out? You helped this kid earlier, weren't you just trying to go against me? Now you're acting like a coward?"

He paused and continued.

"Or are you just a coward who only knows how to ambush from the shadows, and doesn't dare to fight me openly?"

"How brave!"

Suddenly, a voice echoed from the void.

Immediately afterward, at the critical moment when the sound had just faded, thousands upon thousands of cyan-gold sword lights suddenly rushed in from all directions of the sky at extreme speed, instantly blocking Xue Yan's path.

"clang!"

A deafening roar erupted.

Countless cyan-gold sword lights clashed with blood-red blade energy.

The enormous impact caused the surrounding ground to tremble violently, and debris flew everywhere.

Xue Yan felt a powerful force rushing towards him, and involuntarily took a few steps back. His blood and qi surged, and he almost fell to the ground.

Blood Demon Prince was also forced back by this force, his demonic blade nearly slipping from his hand, and a bloody gash appeared on his tiger's mouth, from which blood flowed freely.

"Who?!"

Blood Demon Child steadied himself, looked up, his eyes filled with shock and fear.

A cultivator dressed in a cyan-gold Daoist robe stood atop a cyan-gold sword light, emanating a Daoist aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Behind him, a sword and a blade gleamed with dragon patterns; it was none other than Ye Daozu, whom he had previously dismissed with disdain!
"Dao Ancestor! It's Dao Ancestor Ye who has arrived!"

Many cultivators on the field recognized Ye Yang and exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with excitement and relief.

Xue Yan was also stunned, and instantly understood why he had been able to withstand the attack of this Refining Void Dao Ancestor.

In an instant, his previously tense body relaxed.

Ye Yang didn't look at Blood Demon Child, but instead looked at Blood Flame, his tone calm yet carrying a hint of approval:
“Well done. As a disciple of the Flying Heaven Sect, you should have this sense of responsibility to protect the sect.”

Then, he slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on the Blood Demon Child, and the temperature in his eyes instantly dropped to freezing point.

"Fellow Daoist is quite confident. You just said that you want to wait for me to come and face death?"

As Blood Demon looked at the sharp sword aura emanating from Ye Yang, which seemed capable of splitting the heavens, a sense of pressure rose in his heart.

Seeing him with my own eyes today, I now know that the rumors about him are true; his strength is indeed terrifying.

But he was, after all, a demon who had fought in the Demon Realm for many years, and he quickly regained his composure and sneered.

"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly! But even if you've come, so what? You want to seize the inheritance of my Demon Clan? Today, I will make you and this brat perish here together!"

Ye Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, and the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword in his hand emitted a crisp sword sound.

A burst of cyan-gold Dao power erupted instantly, dispelling all the surrounding demonic energy and revealing a clear sky.

"Then let me see just how capable you are, you fiend, to dare to speak such boastful words!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Yang's azure-gold Dao power suddenly surged, becoming even more concentrated and powerful than before.

After breaking through to the mid-stage of the Refining Void Dao Realm, his Dao power not only experienced a qualitative leap in quantity, but also became more refined and domineering, causing the space around him to be slightly distorted by the pressure of his Dao power.

The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword on his back emitted a deafening sword cry, automatically unsheathed itself, and hovered in front of Ye Yang.

The sword's blade shimmered with dragon patterns, as if a giant azure dragon had awakened within it, radiating a chilling aura.

"What a powerful aura!"

"No, this Dao Ancestor Ye must have recently made a breakthrough; his aura is incredibly powerful!"

The cultivators on the field widened their eyes instantly, their faces filled with shock.

They didn't expect that Ye Daozu had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, and that his aura was several times stronger than that of an ordinary mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator!
Blood Demon's expression instantly turned serious.

He could clearly feel the oppressive aura emanating from Ye Yang.

"So what if you've made a breakthrough recently? I'll make sure you die here today!"

After saying that, Blood Demon Prince leaped into the air.

In an instant, the demonic blade in his hand split into countless forms, resembling a bright moon, which slashed directly down at Ye Yang.

Immediately afterwards, the bright moon rose into the night sky, illuminating the world with its pure light!
