The pear tree on the wall is snowy and delicate

Chapter 483 Breakthrough Imminent, Dragon Abyss Shattered

Even when faced with the threat of death, Bo Yan showed no fear. His demonic blood surged, boiling and roaring, transforming into a thirst for slaughter that filled his blood-red eyes.

The last opponent to threaten Bo Yan's life was Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao ultimately failed to kill him because Ling Xiao was no ordinary person.

Ling Xiao, with his Chaotic Spiritual Root, had already entered the Void Refining stage and transcended the boundaries of mortals. Therefore, he was able to severely injure Bo Yan, but only because of his profound cultivation; he could not take Bo Yan's life.

Because a demon lord with the bloodline of a human emperor can only die at the hands of mortals, and mortals are weak, and to Bo Yan they are nothing more than mayflies and fireflies, which can be extinguished with a flick of the finger.

It's like a bizarre closed loop: killing the Demon Lord requires becoming human, yet killing is as easy for the Demon Clan.

It was with this in mind that Lingxiang gave Long Qi the Jade Pill in advance.

Once the Jade Pill is released, the accumulated cultivation will slowly erupt after a certain period of time, prompting Long Qi to break through to the next realm. At the moment of Long Qi's breakthrough, his power will greatly increase, enough to fight against the Demon Lord.

More importantly, at the moment of breaking through to the next realm, Long Qi's cultivation level is still uncertain, and he is still a mortal. At that time, he will still have the qualifications to kill the Demon Lord.

As long as you seize that fleeting opportunity...

Lingxiang witnessed the entire deadly battle between Long Qi and the Demon Lord.

For some reason, Lingxiang did not die, but was extremely weak. However, she could definitely feel her life slipping away. On second thought, it was probably the effect of the life-extending pill.

The life-extending pill was originally intended to be a test for Guihua, but she refused, which ironically benefited me instead.

Although this batch of life-extending pills contained wandering soul grass and the spirit incense was for someone with a missing soul, the advantage was that it was her own physical body, so the wandering soul grass did not have much of an effect on her.

Lingxiang never expected that the Life-Extending Pill could be used in this way. It was all thanks to the Demon Lord's distrust that she could consider it a blessing in disguise...

This Life-Extending Pill is currently vying with the Suspension Technique and the Rejuvenation Pill, but unfortunately the latter is too domineering, and it has lost slightly.

Ultimately, it's a dead end...

Lingxiang let out a soft sigh. Her heavy eyes made her wish she could fall asleep immediately, but she couldn't let go of Long Qi...

It's about time...

After dodging the Dragon Abyss Sword, Bo Yan turned and charged towards Long Qi, a ferocious grin spreading across his face, like a tiger locking onto its prey.

Faced with the overwhelming killing intent, Long Qi remained calm and composed, changing his hand seals. Just as Bo Yan was about to arrive, Long Yuan suddenly appeared and stabbed at Bo Yan's arm.

Bo Yan quickly dodged and was about to rush towards Long Qi again when the Dragon Abyss Sword turned back and flew back.

The Dragon Abyss Sword seemed to have eyes; no matter how Bo Yan dodged, it always returned at the right time and relentlessly pursued him.

As time went by, Bo Yan not only didn't get closer to Long Qi, but actually drifted further and further away.

This was done intentionally by Long Qi.

When Long Qi woke up, he felt his meridians were clear and his spiritual power was surging. He thought it was just because he had relieved the effects of the Jade Pill. However, after fighting the Demon Lord for several rounds, his body became increasingly strange.

It was as if there was a suction force constantly drawing in the spiritual energy of the whole body, gathering and condensing in the abdomen, both clear and blurry.

Another surge of energy coursed through his meridians, eventually reaching the crown of his head, accompanied by the sound of his breath, like the beating of drums or the chirping of birds.

These two forces pulled at each other, seemingly about to tear the body apart, yet they left no trace, strangely granting Long Qi inexplicable power.

Long Qi was unsure what had happened, and the current situation forced him to be cautious.

But the more careful you are, the clearer the abnormalities in your body become...

Under Long Qi's focused attention, the Dragon Abyss Sword became increasingly agile, able to quickly change direction and catch up again even when knocked down. After repeated pursuits, Bo Yan finally couldn't bear it any longer. Just as the Dragon Abyss Sword was closing in once more, he turned around and flicked it with his backhand.

The Dragon Abyss Sword spun in mid-air, and before Long Qi could stabilize it with a magic spell, Bo Yan gathered his strength in the halberd and swung it down with all his might.

A spark flew, and with a mournful clang, the Dragon Abyss Sword was knocked down in front of Long Qi. The cracks on the blade spread rapidly and split apart, eventually shattering into pieces.

With his spell broken, Long Qi felt a surge of blood rush to his head and collapsed to his knees. Upon seeing the shattering of Long Yuan, he could no longer contain his turmoil and coughed up another mouthful of crimson blood.

Blood splattered on the shattered Dragon Abyss, splashing up a brief burst of crimson blossoms.

With a thought, Bo Yan instantly moved closer, pointing his halberd at Long Qi, his eyes filled with killing intent, disdain, and contempt.

Long Qi looked up, fearlessly looking back, which made Bo Yan furious. He didn't want to waste a moment and just wanted to finish Long Qi off immediately.

Bo Yan raised his halberd and thrust it forward, startling A Dao, who was watching from afar, into letting out a cry of surprise.

Just as the halberd struck, a series of buzzing sounds entered Long Qi's ears, like the longing of a swimming dragon or the roar of a flying dragon, piercing his ears incessantly.

Everything around seemed to freeze, except for this tireless, urgent call that never stopped.

Looking down, the buzzing sound came from Long Yuan. The blood he had just spat out had mysteriously disappeared, and a sword light swam through the gap in the fragments, illuminating Long Qi's eyes.

Longyuan...

Long Qi reached out and grasped the hilt of the Longyuan Sword. Without hesitation, he drew the sword, and with a clang, the Demon Lord's halberd was blocked by a longsword.

“This sword…” Long Qi stared in astonishment at the long sword in his hand.

Isn't that the sword from the Qi Pool?
At this moment, another voice came to his ears, awakening Long Qi's memories - "Since ancient times, the Longyuan Sword Lineage has never had a giant sword."

Yes, yes, every time I enter the Qi Pool, the Dragon Abyss Sword Spirit gives me many hints, but I'm just too dull and don't use my brain.

This is the true form of the Dragon Abyss Sword. What the Demon Lord shattered was merely the demonic power that the Dragon Abyss Sword had absorbed over the years!

Moreover, Long Qi remembered not only these things, but also the talk about breaking through realms that the Dragon Abyss Sword Spirit had told him in the Qi Pool.

Could it be that the strange feeling in my body is a sign that I'm about to break through to a higher realm after the Jade Pill is released?

Yes, yes, that must be it.

but……

However, when the painting was in progress, Fairy Tu Mi once said that only mortals could kill demons. Now she was already at the Foundation Establishment stage and Core Formation stage. If she were to break through, she would at least reach the Golden Core stage.

Once you reach the Golden Core stage, you are no longer considered a mortal...

Long Qi was still deep in thought when he suddenly felt a sharp pain. He turned his head and saw that his shoulder was covered in blood and flesh.

Oh no! I was so focused on drawing my sword that I forgot about the Demon Lord's abilities.

Faced with the sudden change, Bo Yan was caught off guard. He never expected that the old-fashioned sword would actually be a sword within a sword.

What chilled Bo Yan even more was that the sense of impending death that he used to only feel when the sword was near was now a death sentence simply because the sword was present.

Bo Yan's expression froze, and he subconsciously increased the force in his hand.

This child is indeed not fit to live!
