The ancient return was exposed by his sister's live stream.

Chapter 403 Blood Fiend Sword Intent

Five seconds later, the professor's team replied with a single word in the group chat: "Okay."

With Chen Hao around, there's nothing to worry about. This realization has been proven countless times over the past year.

Chen Siyao packed up the equipment and walked out of the inner room.

"Qing, you're gone."

"Here it comes!"

Yang Wanqing sprang up from the chair and ran to the door in a few quick steps.

On the balcony, Chen Hao was already standing outside the railing, his feet barely touching the air, his long robe swaying slightly in the wind.

"Ready?"

"Alright!" Yang Wanqing rushed to the balcony.

Chen Siyao came out and nodded. At the same time, the live stream started.

There had been no live streams for five months. The moment the live stream notification popped up, the number of viewers exceeded ten million within ten seconds.

The live chat exploded with comments.

"We're back! We're back! We're back!"

"Five months! A full five months! I've been waiting forever!"

What's happening on Jupiter? Any new discoveries?

"Wait... what does 'big red spot' in the title mean?"

"No way, no way, no way...they're going to the Great Red Spot?!"

"My God. A live stream exploring Jupiter's Great Red Spot. What a hellish topic!!"

Chen Siyao didn't read the comments.

Chen Hao raised his hand, and his spiritual energy spread out, enveloping the three of them.

"I'm gone."

His body rose into the air.

The sea of clouds, stretching across the thirty-three heavens, swept past beneath our feet. Golden-white gaseous clouds stretched to the horizon, and the outlines of the palace complex rapidly shrank behind us.

Yang Wanqing peered down from the edge of the spiritual energy shield.

"It really is like the Heavenly Court or the Celestial Realm. Clouds are everywhere. No wonder it's called the Thirty-Three Heavens."

She rolled over and looked around again. In the distance, the spire of a few scattered buildings peeked out from the clouds.

Those were some auxiliary palaces surrounding the Jade Void Holy Temple.

The speed is increasing.

The color of the sea of clouds began to change. It changed from golden white to dark yellow. Then it turned dark yellow into deep brown.

Then... red.

First, a touch of light red appeared at the edge of my field of vision.

Then the red grew richer and richer. Deeper and deeper. More and more widespread.

Until the entire horizon ahead... turned dark red.

Large red spots.

From a distance... that red border has no clear lines.

It is a gradual transition, slowly shifting from the normal color of the surrounding atmosphere to a rich, dark red.

But you can tell the scale.

huge.

It was so enormous that the word "big" couldn't describe it. Everything in sight was red.

There's no end to the left. There's no end to the right. There's no end to the up. And there's even less to the down.

This thing is bigger than the Earth.

The live stream chat has gone crazy.

"Holy crap...this is the Great Red Spot?!"

"From this angle...it's terrifying..."

"The entire screen is red! You can't even see the horizon!"

"How big is this? Could it fit two Earths inside?"

Scientists say the Great Red Spot is about 13,000 kilometers in diameter. It could fit two Earths inside it.

Yang Wanqing was also stunned by the sight. She opened her mouth, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Chen Siyao's attention was not on the visual impact.

She is perceiving.

There's something outside the spiritual energy shield...

A kind of... aura.

It's not wind. It's not heat. It's not air pressure.

It was an aura that sent chills down her spine and carried a murderous intent.

It emanated from that deep red expanse.

Chen Hao led them closer. He slowed down... not because he couldn't fly anymore, but to give them time to adjust.

Entering the edge of the red zone.

Yang Wanqing suddenly shuddered. "Yaoyao...did you hear me?"

Chen Siyao heard it.

A sound... the ringing of a sword.

Extremely faint. Extremely distant. But it pierced through hundreds of thousands of kilometers of storm layers and reached their ears.

Not ears.

It is divine consciousness.

The sound of the sword directly affected the divine sense.

Desolate and fierce.

Chen Siyao once used a word to describe the sword intent in the Hundred Peaks Corridor of the Golden Palace Cloud Sect... sharp.

But the things here have nothing to do with Sharpness.

This is... killing.

A pure, uncompromising killing intent. It has lingered for countless millennia and has yet to dissipate.

"Brother. In here..."

"Hmm," Chen Hao's voice was flat. "You'll see."

He led the two deeper. On the outer wall of the spiritual energy shield, the storm's airflow began to scour, at an extremely fast speed, far exceeding any natural disaster on Earth.

But that doesn't matter.

The important thing is the red layer outside the protective shield, not just the clouds.

Chen Siyao saw it clearly.

Hidden within those red clouds of energy were wisps of extremely fine... sword intent.

Countless.

Tens of millions.

Hundreds of millions.

It was compressed to the extreme, merging with the gas clouds. The entire Great Red Spot... was made up of this stuff.

"Bloodthirsty Sword Intent." Chen Siyao's voice was hoarse.

She had seen this term in the records of the Golden Cloud Sect. It appeared only once. Records of it were extremely scarce. It only stated one sentence... "Bloodthirsty sword intent, killing intent solidified, staining all things red."

All things are red.

Therefore, the large red spot is red.

It's not because of any atmospheric composition. It's not because of any chemical reaction.

It's because of the sword intent.

It was because the Blood Fiend Sword Intent had existed for far too long that it had dyed all matter in this area—gaseous, liquid—red.

Chen Hao led them further down.

The red color grew increasingly intense. At a certain point—Yang Wanqing's breathing became rapid.

It wasn't because of lack of oxygen. It was because the concentration of killing intent outside the protective barrier was soaring. Even through Chen Hao's spiritual energy barrier, the lingering killing intent was still seeping in.

Not much. Less than one percent of the total.

However, Yang Wanqing, who was in the mid-stage of the Golden Body Realm, was already starting to feel unwell.

My chest feels tight. My fingers are numb. I feel a pricking sensation in the back of my head.

"Master...this place..."

Yang Wanqing gritted her teeth.

Chen Siyao was in slightly better shape than her. After several months of honing her spiritual sharpness, she was now able to resist a certain degree of external erosion. However, cold sweat was still seeping down her back.

Chen Hao's voice came from ahead. "It won't hurt you." He casually strengthened the protective barrier.

It continues to sink.

The dark red turned into deep red. The deep red turned into...blackish red.

The bloodthirsty sword intent was so intense it was unbelievable. Every inch of the entire space was filled with sword intent, leaving no room to breathe.

Then...

Chen Hao stopped.

"look."

Chen Siyao and Yang Wanqing followed his gaze downwards.

Dark red clouds churned beneath my feet. And through the gaps in the clouds…

Four marks.

From left to right. Spanning the entire field of vision.

It's not a scratch. It's not a crack.

Yes…, sword scars.

Four straight sword marks, running from one end of the planet to the other.

Each one is hundreds of kilometers wide and deep, reaching straight into the star's core.

They weren't cut into the clouds.
