Embers of Sword

Chapter 246 Scale Sound
The remnant of Emperor Qi floated in the air, his will covering the entire hall. Four huge silver statues stood tall, each guarding one side.

In the distance, a mountain of corpses collapsed and a sea of blood surged.

The overwhelming pressure was approaching his soul... Ao Ying's face was pale, looking towards the distant peak above the thousand steps, he felt that reaching the top of this palace was an absolutely hopeless thing.

A cultivator not only cultivates his physical body, but also his soul.

The spiritual realm is not enough.

Once the heart lake is attacked, it can easily be "destroyed".

"still have a chance."

A gentle and peaceful voice descended upon the lake of the heart.

This voice is like a sharp sword!
The remnant of Emperor Qi's spiritual pressure had already eroded most of Ao Ying's heart lake...but now it was completely cut off by this sharp sword!

Xie Xuanyi sent a ray of divine consciousness into Ao Ying's brow.

Except for this divine thought.

There is one more thing.

"Chichichi..."

Half a floating drop of pure water was suspended in the air and slowly fell to the center of Ao Ying's eyebrows. Once it touched the hot forehead, it evaporated on its own and turned into a ball of lingering water vapor.

Ao Ying was stunned.

The vitality that had been continuously emanating from her body began to gradually return to stability at this moment.

Her pale cheeks also had a slight blush.

"This is!?"

She stretched out her hand in disbelief and wiped her wet forehead.

"Fountain of Immortality..."

Emperor Qi, who was floating above the palace, recognized the object.

Emperor Qi laughed loudly and said, "It's really true that after searching everywhere for something, I finally found it without any effort! I originally thought that the Fountain of Immortality does not exist!"

Almost all great monks who want to become true immortals.

All just for one thing.

Immortality and immortality.

The most difficult calamity to overcome in this world is the calamity of immortality. There are thunder from the sky, demons from the heart lake, and the five decays of heaven and man. If one is not careful at all, one will "fall"... But if one can have the Fountain of Immortality by his side, it is equivalent to having an extremely powerful trump card in this calamity of immortality!

Emperor Qi stretched out his hand.

The silver statue closest to the two of them also stretched out its hand!

Ao Ying raised his head, and his vision was shrouded in darkness again.

Xie Xuanyi grabbed the red shirt of the demon girl and instantly moved sideways a long distance. The illness between his eyebrows disappeared at the same time. The dark thunder of [the Law of Destruction] wrapped the golden sword and cut off the arm of the silver statue. He flew up with the sword and hung high above the hall. The four silver statues were like four mythical kings. The severed heads and arms were no longer the defeated relics lying quietly in the ancient hall, but were controlled by Emperor Qi's divine consciousness. They floated up one by one and were resettled on the bodies of their original owners!
"If you want to live, you only have one chance..."

Xie Xuanyi looked at Ao Ying calmly, and when he saw that the witch's eyes had returned to clarity, he threw her out!
After doing all this, Xie Xuanyi instantly arrived in front of Emperor Qi's remnant, and he threw the Spring Breeze high up, and thousands of sword energies burst out instantly, turning into a complete circle.

The way of destruction will surround the remaining spirit of Emperor Qi!

Although this remnant of thought has little remaining power, it is extremely tenacious.

The way of destruction is to kill with all your strength——

The regret turned into a ball of light and fire, shattered and then reassembled.

The purpose of Xie Xuanyi doing this was not to truly kill the remnant of Emperor Qi, but just to cut off the control of this divine consciousness over the entire hall as much as possible!

……

……

On the other side, the red-shirted witch who was thrown out by Xie Xuanyi became blurred and disappeared in an instant like a meteor!

boom!
Four silver-white kings instantly appeared on the path that the red-shirted man had to take.

Ao Ying took a deep breath.

She closed her eyes, urged the blood in her bones and injected it into her [Phoenix Eyes]!
This secret treasure has long been intelligent and knows everything that happens in the outside world!
Ao Ying has dealt with [Phoenix Eyes] many times.

She knew very well that this secret treasure was evil in nature and extremely greedy... What Xie Xuanyi said about absorbing the throne's bones and blood was actually meant for [Phoenix Eyes] to hear!
But no matter how greedy you are, this secret treasure has its principles.

No bone blood is injected.

It won't turn on!
"Kakaka..."

Ao Ying's cheeks, which had finally regained their rosy color, turned pale and thin again at a rapid speed. The bones and blood that had benefited from the vapor from the Immortal Fountain were quickly consumed!
A crack appeared between the eyebrows!
A scarlet eye opened wide!

Since the moment it opened its eyes, the gaze of [Phoenix Eyes] has never left the throne!
hum!
Ao Ying raised his head. The four silver-white kings that blocked his path were like mountains that were insurmountable... But the moment the [Phoenix Eyes] were opened, these mountains were just empty. A barrier of void was shattered by the [Phoenix Eyes]. The man in red fell into the void and arrived at the other end of the barrier in an instant.

Above the thousand steps, before the throne!
……

……

The sword energy formed a circle and enveloped the emperor.

Just for a moment.

The illness recurred hundreds of times.

Emperor Qi's robe fluttered, and at first he tried to dodge the sword energy. This remnant still retained an extremely strong fighting consciousness, and the sword energy was extremely fast, but the remnant was not restricted by form, so the sword light could not hit it at all.

Holding the idea that "delaying the remnant of Emperor Qi is victory", Xie Xuanyi pushed his sword energy to the extreme.

All of a sudden.

Two streaks of light chased each other within the sword energy cage!
After counting the breaths.

The remnant of Emperor Qi suddenly stopped dodging, he turned into a human form again, and in an instant he was pierced through the heart by the serious illness. His clothes were torn, his chest was torn as well, and countless blood splashed out.

pity.

It's all fake.

The regretful phantom has no blood at all.

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes, expressionless, watching the blood flowing back. These were just a part of Emperor Qi's regrets... The monarch of Dayue Kingdom smiled slightly, as if he was tired of the boring game of dodging sword energy.

He simply opened his arms and allowed the sword energy to attack him without dodging...

at this moment.

A sense of uneasiness suddenly emerged in Xie Xuanyi's heart. He saw a smile of contempt and sarcasm on the face of Emperor Qi, which was filled with the changes of all living things.

Emperor Qi...

Laughing?

Xie Xuanyi glanced back and saw that Ao Ying had successfully passed the four tall generals and arrived in front of the throne, pressing his palm on the cheek of the withered emperor!
"Boom" sound.

The vertical pupil between Ao Ying's eyebrows expanded to the limit!

The pupil of that vertical pupil spun wildly, revealing an unprecedented greedy "look"! Countless bloodshot surged up from under the skin of Ao Ying's beautiful cheeks, quickly passing through like a snake, densely passing through the neck, passing through the forearm, and finally "blooming" at the fingertips, clinging tightly to the withered shadow of the throne!

"Gulu—Gulu—"

The entire silent hall was resounding with the sound of the Phoenix Eyes absorbing the blood essence of the ancient saint!
This scene looks crazy and weird.

But the crazier and weirder things are still to come...

"Well……"

Ao Ying groaned in a low voice, veins bulging on her forehead. She tried to stand up, enduring the severe pain from the Phoenix Eyes, but was unable to do so. She felt as if she had become a vine of withered paper growing under the throne, her entire body tightly glued to the throne... But the only good news was that the process of this vertical pupil absorbing the blood of the ancient saint was smoother than expected. The ancient blood in the withered shadow of the throne contained an extremely ancient and mellow power, just like fine wine, which made people intoxicated.

After taking just one sip, the phoenix's eyes became a little carried away, no longer fixed on Ao Ying's brows, but began to wander.

Countless blood threads emerged from under the skin.

The vertical pupil between her eyebrows bulged, and it slowly wandered and paced on Ao Ying's cheek, and finally, little by little, inch by inch, it came to the back of her palm!
Ao Ying closed his eyes.

But she sees the world more clearly.

Because the third eye is gradually "submitting" to her.

[Phoenix Eyes] This secret treasure of the demon race is like this... Whoever can feed it can become its master.

Of course, this is not really "taming"!
This is the pupil of an ancient demon phoenix.

In order to truly refine it thoroughly, one must either possess the strength of a great master, or display a bloodline power that is more powerful than that of the demon phoenix.

Even Prince Jiu has the strength of a peak Yin God.

It is not enough to make [Phoenix Eyes] surrender.

"and many more……"

After Ao Ying closed his eyes, his expression became a little dazed.

The whole world fell into darkness.

But the phoenix eyes on the back of her palm conveyed a whole new view of the world to her.

What [Phoenix Eyes] saw was different from what she saw.

This world is broken, decaying and withered.

The pillars of the palace, though tall and majestic, were broken and collapsed.

Those murals had long been destroyed by external forces and were now a mess.

The surging mountains of corpses and seas of blood are nothing but dry bones, dreams, and bubbles.

The thousand-step hall was stained with blood.

The four seemingly majestic silver-white kings were actually covered in rusty black armor, their bodies were covered with blood sores, and their heads were hideous.

Most importantly, the most important thing.

The one whose essence and blood were being madly sucked away by the Phoenix Eyes at this moment... was the figure that was pierced by a spear and stabbed to death on the throne.

He was not wearing an imperial robe.

The man was wearing a light golden robe, which was pierced by the tip of the spear and had many cracks on it. The skin under the robe was covered with cold and hard dragon scales.

Seeing this scene, Ao Ying opened his eyes in confusion.

After opening my eyes, the world has regained its sacredness and beauty.

This is the most honorable palace of Dayue Kingdom.

It is also the natal cave heaven that was sealed by the monarch of Dayue Kingdom with the Ruyi Dao Rule.

The "man" on the throne died peacefully and honorably, wearing a yellow robe and with a peaceful face... But if you look closely, you will find that the huge spear that pierces the throne is actually engraved with Taoist patterns of several breaths.

She had seen it in the city outside Dayue Kingdom.

That is……

The way to destroy dragons.

A law specifically designed to kill dragonborn.

"Do not……"

Ao Ying's body began to tremble.

She looked at the scene in disbelief and slowly closed her eyes. As she wished, she saw again the face that was so withered that no facial features could be seen.

Ao Ying slowly stretched out his hand and touched the withered man sitting on the throne.

She touched the man's forearm.

Crackling, the fingertips emitted a crisp sound of scraping iron.

That's dragon scale.

She has it too.
