The ten-meter-long Demon Blade, shaped like a curved moon, materialized with its inky black body erupting in ten thousand rays of demonic light.
Moqita clutched the gigantic demonic blade, roaring toward the heavens. He truly appeared like a demon god descending, transforming into a streak of dark light that shot instantly toward Shi Yan.
As the blade cleaved downward, the ten thousand rays of demonic light converged, an overwhelming force that actually provoked cosmic phenomena. The desolate island was engulfed in swiftly changing winds and clouds, the great earth began to tremble, and deep, bottomless ravines cracked open.
A dense, inky black demonic aura rolled out from those fissures. Pulled and driven by the demonic blade, it surged like the endless, black ocean tides, madly pouring toward Moqita.
The five Negative Demons, each towering over ten feet tall, roared silently, completely surrounding Shi Yan in the center.
The five great demon lords opened their cavernous, ghastly maws, desperately trying to swallow the boundless demonic energy surging from deep underground. However, the demonic energy was too vast; even exerting their utmost strength, the five demons could not absorb it all in a short time.
“Boundless Demon Blade! Draw the demons into the body!” Moqita bellowed. The countless strands of dark demonic energy from below swarmed violently toward the demonic blade and Moqita.
The thick demonic aura rolled in, entirely consumed by Moqita, causing his form to instantly swell. In mere moments, Moqita became a hundred-meter-tall demon-man, and the ten-meter-long demonic blade concurrently expanded thirtyfold, becoming a terrifying, three-hundred-meter-long weapon.
The endless demonic energy infused Moqita and the blade, the energy solidifying to an immense weight of a hundred thousand tons, filling Moqita and the blade with inexhaustible demonic might.
The Boundless Demon Blade was one of the three great demonic blades from the Demon Domain in the ancient era, though how it fell into Moqita’s hands remained unknown.
Legend held that this blade could ignore dimensional barriers, possessing the terrifying ability to pull infinite demonic energy from the very source of the Demon Domain’s aura. The "Demon-Man wielding the blade" could materialize the energy drawn by the Boundless Demon Blade, coating his physical form.
Moqita, holding the Boundless Demon Blade, had his physical surface enveloped by a hundred thousand tons of demonic energy, forging his colossal, hundred-meter demonic body.
Amidst earth-shattering, frenzied howls, the terrifying blade descended upon Shi Yan’s head like a razor-sharp demonic mountain.
Shi Yan stood on the desolate island, looking up at the sky-obscuring blade. Within his crimson eyes, evil, sharp glints flickered.
With a shift in thought, the five Negative Demon Heads, each over ten zhang high, suddenly bared their fangs and claws, ascending to collectively support the Boundless Demon Blade.
The negative energy contained within his seven hundred and twenty acupoints furiously injected into the bodies of the five Negative Demons.
Simultaneously, from the swirling vortex in his lower abdomen, a world-shaking cold erupted instantly, flooding his entire body in a flash.
A mysterious power suddenly spread out from within him, as if pulling on the waters of the boundless sea.
Water columns, each a hundred meters long, suddenly shot up from the sea surrounding the island. Seven such columns converged from all directions, condensing directly above Shi Yan’s head.
“Kaka-ka!”
Infinite cold energy permeated the gathered and refined water columns. These columns abruptly formed a gigantic, diamond-shaped ice crystal, suddenly encasing Shi Yan.
The diamond crystal resembled a thousand-meter iceberg—majestic and spectacular—pressing down just above Shi Yan’s head. Cold light shot out from within the crystal, and astonishing chill raged in all directions.
“Kaka-hua!”
Centered on this thousand-meter ice crystal, the entire desolate island rapidly froze over. Wherever the cold light swept, the island seemed to be overlaid with sheets of solid ice. In an instant, the island became a thoroughly frozen ice island; as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but chilling ice blocks, not a single rock visible anymore.
“Wuwuji!” Above Shi Yan’s head, even with the five massive Negative Demons combining their strength, they could not withstand the oppressive force of the Boundless Demon Blade. They were being forced back step by step by the blade’s terrifying pressure.
The Negative Five Demons dispersed into five directions, spreading their iron-cat-like claws to grip the handle of the Boundless Demon Blade, straining to lift it toward the sky and halt the terrifying blade’s descent.
“A pity it’s just an avatar of an ancient demon god. If the true ancient demon god had descended, perhaps I truly couldn’t kill you.”
Moqita sneered, his voice emanating from the base of his hundred-meter demonic form. Then, the colossal demon body exerted immense force, placing its other hand upon the blade, pressing down again with renewed strength.
The Negative Five Demons could no longer endure that world-destroying demonic might. Grimacing, they were swept aside by the blade’s power. The blade, losing its restraint, finally slashed down.
“Boom-boom-hong!” The desolate island roared terrifyingly. The thousand-meter ice mountain above Shi Yan shattered piece by piece. Even the solid ice covering the entire island exploded into fragments.
The immense residual energy surged outward, causing the seawater surrounding the island to shoot toward the heavens, triggering a tsunami. Rolling waves washed over the island, only to instantly freeze again under the residual cold emanating from the land.
Shi Yan, sheltered beneath the crystalline mountain, watched as thick black demonic energy seeped into the iceberg, frantically destroying the glaciers and causing the protective ice mountain above to splinter. His heart filled with shock.
The sheer power of Moqita’s strike with the Boundless Demon Blade was beyond his imagination. He had never conceived that a martial artist of the Divine Realm could unleash such earth-shattering power.
If not for the temporary fusion of the Profound Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Core Fire, and the Saint Spirit God—three mysterious life forms—which caused the extreme cold powers of the Profound Ice Cold Flame and the Saint Spirit God to overlap and instantly form a magnificent thousand-meter-high iceberg, blocking the force of Moqita’s attack, he believed he would have been utterly annihilated, soul and body.
“You actually managed to block one strike. Boy, you can die proud,” Moqita muttered, clearly surprised that his initial downward slash failed to instantly shatter the thousand-meter ice mountain.
He grinned fiercely, then hoisted the blade again, roaring, “Boy, Yang Qingdi is finished. Now the Yang Family has produced you, a kid even more troublesome. If you are given space to grow, your future achievements might surpass Yang Qingdi’s. Today, I must kill you!” As he roared, Moqita raised the blade high again. Ten thousand tons of demonic energy surged madly toward it. The blade, already three hundred meters long, expanded once more. Just as it was about to ascend toward the heavens, it reached four hundred meters—the terrifying demonic power nearly tore Shi Yan’s soul apart.
Seeing the second strike coming, Shi Yan, operating under the peak state of the Raging Double Heaven realm, calmly executed a rapid spatial shift, utilizing the surging, infinite power within his body to instantly activate the Electric Evasion technique.
“Pacha! Pacha!” His legs, unable to sustain such violent power, suddenly burst open, flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Shi Yan vanished into thin air!
The moment the second strike of the Boundless Demon Blade descended, Shi Yan’s physical form was gone. As the thousand-meter ice mountain turned to dust, he had already shifted to another isolated island.
“Boom!”
A terrifying explosion that pierced the eardrums erupted. Shi Yan stood atop a mountain peak on the other island, staring in horror at the desolate island where he had just stood.
Under the second slash of the Boundless Demon Blade, that island had been split in two!
A fissure tens of thousands of meters long suddenly appeared, through which seawater violently surged. The fractured island exploded repeatedly, and all the ice on it shattered. Amidst the earth-shaking explosions, Moqita’s enraged howls echoed as he searched for Shi Yan’s trace.
“Chichi-chichi-chichi!” The dense white smoke from his seven hundred and twenty acupoints suddenly retracted. In the next moment, the mysterious energy flowed violently throughout his body—part rushing into his vital energy vortex, part dispersing, circulating through his bones and meridians in a mysterious manner.
A roar echoed in his mind, and Shi Yan’s body began to tremble violently. He felt the Sea of Consciousness surging like turbulent waves, invaded by that mysterious power. His soul underwent sublimation; the County Princess Soul within his Sea of Consciousness slowly enlarged, its appearance becoming clearer.
As the Sea of Consciousness churned, it rapidly expanded, increasing in volume threefold within a single breath. His Spiritual Sense power became profoundly thick, every wisp connecting with his main soul, granting him a deeper understanding of various energies.
It was at this very moment that he sensed the immovable, mountain-like, terrifying life fluctuation emanating from Moqita in the distance.
What strong vitality!
Shi Yan’s expression shifted, gaining a more direct realization of the massive power gap separating him from Moqita. Moqita’s essence, spirit, and vitality were as vigorous as a nuclear power station from his world, capable of providing inexhaustible power.
Moqita stood there, his furious roar sounding like a soul-capturing demonic chant, penetrating all obstacles and traveling along the track of Shi Yan’s soul aura straight toward his unstable Sea of Consciousness.
“Aow aow aow!”
The Negative Five Demons suddenly let out true, audible, sharp howls toward the sky. The five demons, sensing their dwelling place was about to collapse, transformed into five streaks of demonic light that instantly shot toward Shi Yan, their speed surpassing even Moqita’s soul-piercing demonic chant. Before the chant could invade Shi Yan’s Sea of Consciousness, they returned to guard it.
The materialized five demons reverted to an ethereal state; it seemed they could switch between physical and non-physical forms at will. Upon entering the Sea of Consciousness, the five demons immediately arrayed themselves in five directions, radiating terrifying negative emotions, forming five distinct layers of negative emotional barriers.
When Moqita’s soul-piercing chant struck, the five layers of negative emotion activated simultaneously, condensing and merging, forcibly blocking the demonic chant outside, preventing damage to Shi Yan’s Sea of Consciousness.
His soul trembled, and Shi Yan’s eyes suddenly shone like stars.
At this critical juncture, the essence and spirit of the Celestial Martial Artist Xia Shenchuan were converted. Under Moqita’s terrifying pressure, he finally broke through the bottleneck and truly stepped into the Nirvana Nest Realm.
Since his Sea of Consciousness was already fully cultivated, once this realm barrier broke, he instantly familiarized himself with the new state.
As the turbulence in his Sea of Consciousness gradually subsided, Shi Yan felt his essence, spirit, and vitality leap into an entirely new dimension. He felt as if he were connected to heaven and earth, able to genuinely sense the ancient, inherent power contained within the earth.
“Huhu-hu!” In his vital energy vortex, the Yin-Yang Fish shaped vortex formed by the fusion of the Profound Ice Cold Flame, Saint Spirit God, and Earth Core Fire spun madly again after he broke through to the Nirvana Realm, seemingly on the verge of true integration!
The ambient spiritual energy drifting from all directions, as if drawn by some force, suddenly converged violently upon this core, plunging straight into Shi Yan’s body.
Shi Yan’s physical form became like a giant sponge sucking in all spiritual energy, beginning to wildly absorb the ambient spiritual energy nearby. This mysterious ability to gather world energy, originating from the Saint Spirit God, suddenly manifested within Shi Yan’s body. Under the action of his vital energy vortex, it purified and condensed the world energy, forming extremely rich vital essence, which poured one by one into the heart of his vortex.
At the center of the vortex, the vanished Ancient Vital Essence Tree suddenly reappeared, greedily sucking in strands of vital essence.
Shi Yan’s aura soared dramatically.
