Remould the Glory of Sword Art

"Is this... the legendary ’Nether Sea’?"

"So the Nether Sea Venerable is actually like this!"

Numerous talismans were crushed by the Spirit Sun Rod.

Talisman papers fluttered all around.

The Nether Sea Venerable revealed his form.

For nearly sixty years, the Nether Sea Venerable hasn’t appeared in the Demon Country. It’s said the Holy Emperor has secluded himself from all living beings, but compared to the Holy Emperor, the Nether Sea gives him a run for his money, shutting himself in every day, building talisman formations in his cave abode. He didn’t even leave the territory of Great Saint Mountain when his child died in the Southern Domain.

Today.

The demons finally witnessed his true appearance.

Exclamations echoed on Qi Blue Mountain.

They saw the figure seated in the grand hall, as towering as a mountain, his deep blue Daoist robe and talisman paper seemed to be one color.

Although the Nether Sea Venerable had a human body.

His appearance was demonic.

In the Demon Country, many Great Demons appeared like this, so it was not particularly surprising, but at this moment, the face of the Nether Sea Venerable... exceeded everyone’s imagination.

A pair of red-golden vertical pupils, burning like scorching fire.

On both sides of his cheeks, besides having fuzz, a few dark green scales had grown.

This is... Dragon Form!

"..."

Qilin Miaofa True Monarch stood silently at the mountain top, his pupils only slightly contracted, his expression not much changed, remaining fairly calm.

He had known the Nether Sea for many years.

He was already aware of the Nether Sea’s lineage.

But the other demon cultivators attending the banquet were buzzing with shock.

"This Nether Sea Venerable is actually a Dragon Descendant?!"

Venerable Yuan Huo’s pupils contracted, lowering his voice in amazement: "This is just too..."

Incomprehensible!

The Nether Sea is the Holy Emperor’s brother, the Demon Blood of Great Ape Mountain... it should be Ape Clan Royal Blood!

"Thump, thump..."

Ao Ying could hear the tremor in her heart.

This is Dragon Descendant True Blood.

She was shocked by this scene, her heart pounding uncontrollably. The bloodline of the Nether Sea Venerable was far stronger than hers, and facing him almost made her reveal a flaw and kneel down.

"What’s going on?"

Xie Xuanyi furrowed his brows, looking at Cui Zhen: "Does this guy have Dragon Blood?"

"The Nether Sea’s true form is ’Dragon Ape’."

Cui Zhen’s expression was gloomy, conveying: "He’s of mixed Dragon Descendant and Ape Clan blood... but after so many years of cultivating the Earth Abyss Inheritance, Ape Blood should be dominant..."

He knew the Nether Sea had two bloodlines.

But...

During the time the Nine Venerable fought side by side, the Nether Sea never revealed a Dragon Form.

"Something’s wrong."

Xie Xuanyi stared at the Nether Sea Venerable, suppressing the killing intent in his Heart Lake.

The flying sword between his brows no longer stirred.

The Holy Prince shattered the curtain of the grand hall, revealing the true appearance of the Nether Sea, logically, it should be the perfect moment to unleash the sword and kill. But Xie Xuanyi’s Heart Lake keenly sensed something amiss.

The towering figure seated in the grand hall emanated a familiar aura.

He had a foreboding.

If he drew his sword now, something terrible would happen...

On the other side.

Qilin Miaofa True Monarch also suppressed his killing intent.

His Heart Lake Sensing was extremely powerful, and at the moment the Nether Sea appeared, he sensed something was wrong. He silently stood there as the killing intent, which should have erupted like a storm, instantly receded. He "from beginning to end" remained just an old friend ready to deliver a gift.

Both stared at each other.

Qilin Miaofa True Monarch watched this "old friend."

Something about it felt off...

He looked at the Nether Sea, feeling a bit unfamiliar.

It had nothing to do with the Dragon Form.

Perhaps it was the gaze, the movement, or the aura. After losing the "curtain" of the talisman formation, the Nether Sea Venerable emitted a mighty aura that should have signaled the start of the assassination. Yet, at this moment, it became the precursor for Xie Xuanyi and the True Monarch to simultaneously hold back.

The storm instantly vanished.

No words were needed.

The two who had been ready to deliver a fatal strike, simultaneously ceased their thoughts.

...

...

Qi Blue Mountain was silent for several breaths.

"You... are too rude."

The Nether Sea Venerable finally spoke, he didn’t hide his Dragon Form, instead slowly stood up, looking down at the Holy Prince nearby.

His voice was deep like thunder.

The Holy Prince was unperturbed, standing with the Spirit Sun Rod, looking up at his uncle.

"Is it?"

The Holy Prince smiled calmly.

"Great Ape Mountain prides itself on the ’Earth Abyss Inheritance’."

He countered: "Uncle... you have Ape Blood flowing in you, to show yourself in this manner, might not be particularly appropriate, right?"

"..."

The Nether Sea was silent.

He instinctively reached out his palm, touching the scales on his cheeks.

"Holy Prince, your words are mistaken."

Just then.

A voice suddenly arose from below the grand hall seats.

It was none other than Venerable Heavenly Phoenix.

Venerable Heavenly Phoenix stood up, smiling as he spoke: "In this demon realm, there are numerous demon cultivators with multiple bloodlines... Great Ape Mountain having someone like the Nether Sea Venerable, who possesses both ’Ape Clan Royal Blood’ and ’Dragon Descendant True Blood’ as a Great Divine Ability User... should be considered a fortunate thing."

With these words.

The atmosphere became subtly peculiar.

"...?"

Seeing Venerable Heavenly Phoenix suddenly rise, Wu Jiu was evidently surprised.

He fiddled with his wine cup, furrowing his brows, completely unprepared for Heavenly Phoenix to reveal his stance at this time.

One must know.

He and Heavenly Phoenix’s visit represented the entire Heavenly Phoenix Palace!

Wu Jiu was fully aware, if the Holy Prince hadn’t appeared, tonight’s banquet, after the music and dance, would reach the most crucial segment.

This Great Ape Mountain birthday banquet, ostensibly was to celebrate the Holy Emperor’s birthday.

But in reality...

All the guests came to witness the "coronation" of the new Holy Emperor.

The Nether Sea and the Holy Prince are two distinctly divided territories within Great Saint Mountain.

All the guests would face a choice of allegiance—

Since Heavenly Phoenix Palace attended, naturally, they couldn’t be an exception.

Earlier today.

Wu Jiu had spoken with Heavenly Phoenix.

Regarding the issue posed by the Nether Sea, Heavenly Phoenix Palace wouldn’t rush to respond. After all, meddling in such conflicts could invite unforeseen trouble.

This move by Heavenly Phoenix.

Was entirely beyond the plan!

"..."

The Holy Prince gradually turned his head.

His gaze swept outside the hall, pausing briefly only to meet Heavenly Phoenix’s eyes, and finally settling on Wu Jiu.

Although Heavenly Phoenix was older.

But the strongest present from Heavenly Phoenix Palace was Wu Jiu.

The Holy Prince did not speak, but his gaze was full of coldness.

He glanced at Wu Jiu, the meaning of this gaze was self-evident.

Everyone knew.

Tonight’s banquet symbolized a choice of allegiance...

Since Heavenly Phoenix stepped forward.

Then, was this the final stance of Heavenly Phoenix Palace?

Wu Jiu naturally noticed this gaze.

Clenching his wine cup, he maintained a calm demeanor, secretly sending an angry message: "Heavenly Phoenix... what are you doing? Sit down quickly!"

Venerable Heavenly Phoenix feigned ignorance.

His attitude did not change the slightest.

He didn’t show any intention of responding to Wu Jiu’s message.

Venerable Heavenly Phoenix clasped his hands behind his back, facing the Holy Prince without fear, smiling as he said: "Holy Prince, tonight the Nether Sea Venerable invited Heavenly Phoenix Palace to the banquet... you so rashly intrude, isn’t it a bit disrespectful, isn’t it too much disregard for Heavenly Phoenix Palace?"

...
