Remould the Glory of Sword Art

Within the Ten Thousand Demon Array, blood-colored light and fire burned and surged.

The scene of that Yin God Realm elder exploding was far too shocking, to the point that even this noisy, clamorous Great Array was forced into deathly silence.

Under the grinding pressure of the Great Array.

This Yin God Realm elder’s flesh body was crushed into drifting ash.

And then.

Strands of dark-red Essence Blood shot out and flew, rising toward the high heavens—

This Ten Thousand Demon Array required a massive amount of Life Essence Blood. After this elder died, his Essence Blood was absorbed by the Great Array, and that blood-colored gloom shrouding the Heavenly Peak’s firmament became even darker, even more oppressive.

"The Great Array... has grown stronger..."

At this moment, the Ten Thousand Demon Array released an even more terrifying pressure.

Demon Cultivators below the Yin God Realm couldn’t even manage to resist and stand; they could only kneel on the ground.

"Lord Nether Sea!"

"My lord, spare us!"

"We are willing to serve!"

Very quickly, among the crowd, there were Great Demons who dropped to their knees and begged for mercy, voluntarily giving up resistance.

The Holy Emperor’s edict did indeed have deterrent power.

But with the Ten Thousand Demons Formation already hanging overhead, compared to the edict... this Great Array inspired far greater terror!

For a time.

Voices begging for mercy echoed throughout the Great Array.

"..."

The Saint Prince watched this scene with cold eyes.

That so many elders and so many Great Demons of the Great Saint Mountain chose to yield was not outside his expectations.

The day before yesterday.

He had summoned the Holy Emperor’s Dharma Aspect, and countless Demon Cultivators had come to Yunxiao Mountain to pay him a visit.

At that time, he already knew.

Many of the Great Demons in this Third Realm were fence-sitters!

These bastards knew only how to curry favor with whoever had the upper hand; if not for the Holy Emperor’s edict, then today these people absolutely would not be standing on his side...

"Clang!"

The Saint Prince hurled out the Spirit Sun Rod, displaying the Fighting Path in the void.

The Great Dao Intent collided with the Ten Thousand Demon Array, letting out a low, muffled boom!

Though he held a Supreme Taoist Treasure in hand, he still couldn’t smash apart the Great Array jointly cast by Ling Chenzi and the Nether Sea Venerable... this Great Array was incomparably solid. The Saint Prince therefore took a step back and, using the Fighting Path to control the golden rod, drew a great circle in midair!

Buzz buzz buzz—

The Spirit Sun Rod crashed heavily onto the ground.

This great circle had a radius of ten zhang, radiating golden light, counteracting and neutralizing the pressure of the Ten Thousand Demons Formation.

This golden circle enveloped Venerable Zhu Yan and all those loyal followers who had always stood by the Saint Prince. Even when facing Lord Nether Sea’s deadly coercion earlier, not a single one of them had wavered.

The Saint Prince would not allow these people to die at Nether Sea’s hands.

At this moment.

The entire mountain gate of the Fighting Holy Peak was in utter chaos.

The various Great Cultivators all took action one after another, using their Divine Skills to resist the Ten Thousand Demons Formation.

Aside from Qilin Miaofa True Monarch...

The other Yang God Venerables had all brought their disciples and students here to celebrate the longevity banquet!

Who could have imagined that a longevity banquet would turn into a death trap on the spot?

"Nether Sea!"

Venerable Heavenly Phoenix hurriedly shouted in a loud voice: "What are you doing!"

At the grand banquet the previous day.

He had already made his stance perfectly clear.

The power of this Ten Thousand Demons Formation was truly formidable. Even when he unfolded his Dao Domain, he still couldn’t resist; vast quantities of golden Phoenix Fire were corroded by the Great Array, turning into blood rain that scattered everywhere.

"Fellow Daoist Heavenly Phoenix."

The Nether Sea Venerable looked toward Heavenly Phoenix and said slowly, "You truly are not bad."

"Fellow Daoist Nether Sea, you know what I’m like."

Hearing this, Venerable Heavenly Phoenix felt a surge of joy and hurriedly said, "I’ve always stood on your side..."

Nether Sea smiled and nodded slightly.

That said.

He still did not stop the pressure he was exerting on the Heavenly Phoenix Dao Domain.

"Fellow Daoist Heavenly Phoenix, since you’re willing to lend me a hand, now it’s time to show a bit of sincerity."

The Nether Sea Venerable spoke in a gentle, soft tone: "As long as you’re willing to lend me a single drop of Life Essence Blood, I’ll immediately spare your life."

"???"

Venerable Heavenly Phoenix was completely stunned.

Life Essence Blood?!

What kind of sick joke is that!!

He had cultivated to the Yang God Realm, suffering countless hardships, and only with great difficulty had he finally refined his Phoenix Clan bloodline to the Pure Realm!

And now this Nether Sea Venerable opened his mouth and directly asked for his Life Essence Blood?!

"Nether Sea Venerable! I’ve got early classes at eight in the morning!"

Venerable Heavenly Phoenix truly couldn’t hold it in anymore and directly cursed out loud.

He glared at Nether Sea.

This turtle spawn was utterly shameless.

How precious was the Life Essence Blood of a Demon Race Great Cultivator?

He had only just stepped into advancement; if he really handed over a drop of Essence Blood, it was highly likely he would drop a realm... in that case, he might as well be dead!

"..."

Upon hearing this, the smile on the Nether Sea Venerable’s face vanished in an instant, and his gaze turned gloomy.

"I already gave you a chance."

He spoke coldly.

Once more, he raised his sleeve.

Within the Great Array, countless blood-lights fell like meteor showers, and the spot where Venerable Heavenly Phoenix stood was instantly shrouded in an overwhelming might!

"You’re the one who’s forcing me!"

Venerable Heavenly Phoenix roared.

He went all in, pulling a Treasure out from his sleeve.

It was a pair of scissors, its entire body shining with gold. On either side were carved the patterns of a dragon and a phoenix, containing an incomparably powerful Bloodline Power... the moment this item was drawn, the entire Ten Thousand Demon Array was enveloped by shaking dragon roars and phoenix cries.

Kaaaang!

A silver dragon and a golden phoenix condensed into solid forms, appearing above Venerable Heavenly Phoenix’s head.

"The Dragon and Phoenix Scissors?"

The instant this item appeared.

Ling Chenzi’s brows knit slightly.

He had once seen an introduction to this Treasure in Taoist records. It was said that a thousand years ago, the Heavenly Phoenix Palace and the Ancient Dragon Court, the two Holy Lands, had joined forces to create this "Dragon and Phoenix Scissors." Its might was tremendous, a Supreme Taoist Treasure that made all who heard of it tremble.

In terms of grade.

This was a Treasure on the same level as the Spirit Sun Rod!

"A mere counterfeit."

The Nether Sea Venerable’s face was expressionless as he let out a cold snort.

His Heart Lake remained utterly unruffled.

The day before yesterday.

When Venerable Heavenly Phoenix had come to pay his respects, he had mentioned that the Heavenly Phoenix Palace had prepared a "Bottom Card"... if his guess was right, it should be this Dragon and Phoenix Scissors. If it truly were the legendary Treasure, the Great Palace Master would never have gifted it to Venerable Heavenly Phoenix!

How precious was a Supreme Taoist Treasure?

Even if they really had to lend it out...

The one they’d lend it to absolutely wouldn’t be Heavenly Phoenix!

"Go!"

Venerable Heavenly Phoenix pressed his palms together, clapped heavily, and shouted in a low voice.
