From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 306 A Sword Splits the Heavens

It was a longsword so red it was dazzling, yet its edges emitted a faint, eerie red light, as if fresh blood had just dripped from it, or like the fangs of a sleeping demon god, coldly gazing upon the world.

The surface of the sword is covered with irregular blood-red lines, which intertwine and, upon closer inspection, seem to be slowly wriggling, making it look like a living thing.

Layers of malevolent blood energy seeped from the inside of the sword, coiling around it like venomous snakes.

The surrounding environment has been affected by it, and countless bizarre scenes have evolved from it.

Sometimes it solidifies into a skeletal demon, sometimes it transforms into the phantom of a crying baby or woman, appearing and disappearing uncertainly in the lava.

If anyone approaches that area, they will find that the lava seems to be tinged with a dark red, and the boiling heat carries a sweet and pungent smell.

What is most frightening is its sharpness.

Despite being buried deep underground, the chilling sword intent still resembled a blood-red line stretching across the heavens and earth, forming a terrifyingly sharp domain around the sword.

All approaching volcanic rocks, air currents, and even divine sense probes were cleaved in two by that invisible sharpness while still at a distance, vanishing without a sound.

Even the magma itself retreated inch by inch from the edge of the sword, forming a near-vacuum area.

At this moment, the starlight transformed into layers of chains, coming from all directions. The ever-changing starlight was also incredibly wondrous, evolving into pillars, seals, talismans, and nets all around, intertwining and suppressing, forming a starry domain.

It was as if invisible but incredibly heavy stars had appeared all around, churning and shifting positions, transforming into an immensely oppressive force that relentlessly pressed down on the crimson longsword.

The longsword flashed with light, and countless sharp sword energies erupted wildly, but the stellar force field was invisible and intangible, yet it was like a dense spider web, wrapping around it layer by layer.

Like slowly boiling a frog, the power was gradually suppressed onto the longsword.

The magma surged and flowed.

Everything seemed to be returning to silence, and the crimson longsword gradually lost its strength to struggle.

The blood energy was completely contained, and the sword energy dissipated.

"receive!"

The Celestial Star Lord Zhenyao is like a seasoned fisherman, only reeling in the fish slowly after it has been fully hooked, leaving no chance for the enemy.

However, at this moment, the others became even more cautious.

They knew that dealing with an unclaimed sword was not difficult, but the real danger lay in the demons that had broken free of their seals.

Their regenerative abilities are terrifying; they are almost unkillable.

Even though the gods severely injured them a few days ago, they can recover quickly as long as they are not completely killed.

There is a high chance that the demons will rush out now to rescue this evil sword.

Zhenyao Xingjun opened his mouth and spewed out more and more stellar power, which crossed countless worlds and descended into the volcanic hell.

This is the strength of the Doubu.

Perhaps their individual strength is average, but the fact that they can mobilize the power of the stars in the sky with a single move is simply cheating.

"Buzz."

The volcanic hell, with its desert-like land, trembled slightly. A massive crack appeared, and then layers of starlight, seemingly tangible, slowly emerged. This cluster of starlight was hundreds of feet in diameter, and at its very center, a faint crimson dot could be seen.

That was the evil sword.

"Give me the town!"

Upon seeing the evil sword enveloped in the starlight, Lei Bu's Zhizhen-jun, to add an extra layer of protection, flicked his golden whip, causing countless lightning-like runes to appear, spinning continuously until they eventually covered the area beyond the starlight.

The seal, jointly applied by the two righteous gods of the Thunder Department and the Fighting Department, was naturally even more impossible to break free from.

"It's strange."

"We've already suppressed this evil sword, so why haven't those demons shown up yet?"

Chi Hengjun looked around, but there was no trace of any demons nearby.

They had made thorough preparations this time, intending to wipe out all these demons at once. But now it felt like they had punched empty air.

"Could it be... that these demons' goal isn't this evil sword?"

"That shouldn't be the case. The power within those demons is clearly of the same origin as this evil sword, only the power within the evil sword is much more intense and domineering."

The demons did not appear, but Lord Chiheng was not happy.

This unexpected outcome will put them in a very passive position.

If these demons never appear, it means that the volcanic hell may never be at peace.

"Qiang."

A very faint hum seemed to pass through the void.

"what sound?"

The Plague God, who had been silent until now, suddenly raised his eyes from under his cloak.

Just now, he felt an incredibly chilling sharpness.

"Qiang!"

The next moment, a very faint but incredibly clear sword cry emerged.

However, compared to the traditional sword cry, it has a more twisted and evil quality, like a baby crying or a ghost wailing.

The sword, which had been sealed in starlight, suddenly trembled, and a scarlet light, as red as blood, pierced through the seal!
Within that light, blood energy and sword light fused wildly, burning starlight and devouring radiance, evolving into a scorching and destructive power.

Wherever they came into contact, whether it was the Star Seal or the Thunder Runes, they immediately collapsed and broke, turning into nothingness like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun.

"what?"

The righteous gods were caught off guard. They had been extremely cautious, but they never expected the power contained in this evil sword to be so astonishing.

"Shh!"

A sword light shot out from the sky, piercing straight from the bottom of the volcanic hell to the heavens, as if the heavens and earth were split in two by this sword light.

Zhenyao Xingjun's expression changed drastically, but before he could make a move, the evil sword broke free of its seal and floated up.

The sword's cry was deafening, blood energy filled the air, the air became thick and scorching, and even the void turned black.

"Gurgling."

On the sword's blade, layers of blood energy seemed to be growing continuously, then wrapped around the evil sword's edge, giving the already red blade a blood-like sheen.

These layers of blood energy seemed to cover the original sharpness of the evil sword, but when the two combined, they unleashed an even more powerful force.

"boom."

At this moment, Lord Chi Heng disregarded everything else and directly summoned his bronze bell, which instantly enlarged and slammed down on the evil sword.

But at that moment, countless strange cries, seemingly both crying and laughing, suddenly came from all around.

Then, at that very moment, the sky split open, and the void trembled violently!

One after another, demonic figures emerged from the tear, all covered in blood, creating a magnificent spectacle.

"This is it, we're doomed."

The four righteous gods felt a bit bitter. It was truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly. The evil sword had suddenly unleashed such powerful strength, breaking free from their control, but just at this crucial moment, the demons descended once again. The timing was far too perfect.

However, even though they realized the situation was dire, they did not sit idly by and wait for their doom.

Instead, they swiftly raised their banners, and smoke and clouds rose all around, with countless heavenly soldiers and underworld generals appearing within them. The sound of drums shook the heavens as they charged forward.
