Chapter 18 The Pregnant Goddess

The men's voices were clearly laced with bravado and tinged with an indescribable fear. The chains rattled and clattered, but because their collarbones were locked, their eyes were wary, yet they could not escape the narrow cell.

Clearly, the mysterious death of the Blood Curse Taoist had caused them great unease, and the fear surging within them made them uneasy.

Those who commit too many evil deeds are afraid of ghosts knocking on their door.

Although their spiritual perception had weakened to the extreme, it was still barely enough to cover the entire cell floor, but they couldn't find the source of the strangeness. This kind of enemy that cannot be seen with the naked eye is the most terrifying.

call out!

Xu Changjun no longer held back; the Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder Sword solidified once more, emerging as a golden lightning bolt that pierced into the body of the Demon-Eyed Daoist, directly devouring everything within him.

He let out a short scream, which stopped abruptly. His whole body seemed to be twisted by some invisible force, collapsing from the inside. In particular, his golden and silver demonic eyes were completely absorbed, leaving only a skin, limply hanging from the chains, swaying in the wind.

Then, amidst the extreme terror on the Demon Heart Daoist's face, it pierced his body.

The same thing happened again. His flesh, soul, and everything tangible and intangible was devoured, and his heart was sucked into the divine sword, turning him into a wrinkled skin.

As the three people's flesh, blood, soul, and foundation were completely wiped out, the Three-Missing Daoist also turned into a withered human skin, hanging alone on the chains in mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, these three notorious and ruthless killers all died mysteriously, their bodies, flesh, and souls completely gone, leaving only a thin layer of human skin with distorted facial expressions, giving people an unprecedented sense of fear.

The Demon-Slaying Thunder Sword devoured the flesh and blood of these three people using the Sword Embryo Sacrifice Divine Method. It was as if they had received some kind of great tonic. The surface of their bodies showed a trace of flesh, with faint skin texture, and emitted a red light. It was the blood energy constantly flowing and being filled to its limit.

Xu Changjun dared not delay and forcibly retrieved the Demon-Slaying Thunder Sword, transforming it back into a Gengjin Divine Thunder. The Xu family's prison-suppressing sealing formation had almost no effect on it. It changed from solid to illusory, and a golden light flashed past, easily passing through the formation and returning to Xu Changjun's side in the fifth level of the prison.

Having just retrieved the Divine Thunder Sword, Xu Changjun's soul left the sword and returned to his physical body. He suddenly opened his eyes and immediately felt a powerful aura trying to burst out of the sword.

"Did they eat too much?!"

The information from the Demon-Slaying Thunder Sword caught Xu Changjun off guard. It had devoured the flesh and blood of the three demonic foundation-building cultivators of the Three Missing Daoists, accumulating too much energy, which the sword embryo was unable to fully digest at once.

Fortunately, this sword was forged from the leaves of the Nine Heavens Thunder God Vine, a special material that can withstand a great deal of damage; otherwise, with a different sword core, it would probably have exploded by now.

"We have no choice but to leave this place first and refine it properly."

Xu Changjun contacted Elder Xu Tianyang to inform him that the magic sword had been tempered and he could leave the prison.

Elder Xu Tianyang naturally did not stop him; on the contrary, he warmly escorted him out of the town prison.

Elder Xu Tianyang spoke slowly as they approached the entrance.

"If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me. Although your parents died in battle, you still have me as your uncle. I hope you will continue to work hard and not bring shame to your parents!"

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Tianyang. Changjun will definitely work hard in his cultivation."

Xu Changjun bowed respectfully to Elder Xu Tianyang, then turned and left.

There has also been a change in Elder Xu Tianyang's attitude.

Elder Xu Tianyang watched his departing figure, his eyes flickering slightly as if he had noticed something, but then he shook his head.

After the figure had completely disappeared, he turned back and walked into the town prison.

……

Xu Changjun did not linger and returned directly to Lingbi Mountain. After giving instructions to Uncle Fu, he entered the secret room.

Immediately, he released control, and the Demon-Slaying Thunder Sword transformed into a long rainbow, swimming back and forth in the air at a speed as fast as a sea fish swimming in the ocean, shuttling back and forth like golden lightning, leaving behind a sharp killing intent in the air.

A faint golden light floated in the air, and the surging storm brought with it flashes of lightning, as if it were about to cleave through the surrounding darkness.

In Xu Changjun's perception, what was closely related to it was that within the Demon-Slaying Thunder Sword, three powerful and chaotic primordial forces, filled with demonic power, were intertwined, seemingly gradually giving birth to something.

The sword was about to collapse, but fortunately it was made of the Nine Heavens Thunder Vine. Fortunately, the three energies came from the same source. Although they did not belong to the same person, the Three Missing Daoists were siblings from the same mother, and their demonic arts were of the same lineage. They complemented each other, and there was no major conflict between the attributes of their techniques. Therefore, they were able to barely withstand each other and merge together.

A wondrous transformation is taking place within the sword's embryo.

The surging river of blood on the ground surged like a living thing, spreading wildly and extending into the distance. Above, two eerie pupils, one gold and one silver, hung in the sky like the sun and moon, their pupils shimmering and radiating a strange light.

Between the two, the thunderous sound of drums never ceased, like the beating of a giant heart.

Although the three have no real physical form, they are connected by blood-red threads, forming an invisible whole.

This terrifying, bloody energy movement merged and became one, forming a huge, blurry outline, like a giant placenta, throbbing violently. Within it, a chaotic yet orderly mysterious aura, as if alive, was slowly being conceived and nurtured.

In Xu Changjun's perception, at that instant, the entire placenta connected to the Demon-Slaying Thunder Sword began to vibrate wildly, as if it had come alive. This strange fluctuation represented the aura of life's birth, a power he had never felt before.

The sword embryo is imbued with spirit; the divine sword gives birth to a god.

As if a spring thunder had suddenly sounded, and all things were revived, the sword embryo became different from then on. It was not as simple as just having a spirit; it seemed to have truly become a living being, a being closely connected with Xu Changjun, sharing the same blood and energy.

His heart pounded violently, and under the vibration of the enormous sword embryo, it seemed to gradually come together. He felt the magic power and soul in his palm enter a huge black hole and be frantically devoured.

In the blink of an eye, the power within his body seemed to be drying up. Xu Changjun gritted his teeth and began to take out large quantities of spiritual herbs from his storage bag, consuming and digesting them. More blood, magic power, and spiritual energy were then channeled into the sword embryo.
