Chapter 126: The Strongest Divine Power of the Taixu Sword Art — Heavenslaying!

【Year Twenty!】

【After searching for three years, aside from the Nine Netherworld Grass, you found no trace whatsoever of any extreme yang object.】

【During those three years, you had wasted most of your time searching for an extreme yang object, and your progress in cultivation had been delayed considerably.】

【At this point, there were less than two years left before the time you had agreed upon with Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable. You decided to leave the task of searching for an extreme yang object to your external incarnation.】

【From the very beginning, the Taixu Immortal Sword had never been part of your plan. Naturally, it would be excellent if you could deal with it, but even if you could not, it would not be a major problem.】

【The next day!】

【You brought all the spiritual objects and spirit stones you had seized to the Blood Demon Secret Realm.】

【You began cultivating in seclusion within the Blood Demon Secret Realm.】

【For the time being, you could only set aside the Heavenly Secrets Art and the Heavenly Evolution Art.】

【You began cultivating the Taixu Sword Art. Within the Taixu Sword Art was recorded a divine power, and this divine power could only be cultivated after the Taixu Sword Art had been perfected.】

【Year Twenty-One!】

【You began cultivating the divine power recorded within the Taixu Sword Art — Heavenslaying!】

【The first time you saw the introduction to Heavenslaying, you were deeply shaken by it as well.】

【Heavenslaying — just as the name suggests, once cultivated to perfection, it allows one to slay the heavens with a single sword strike.】

【However, you knew that to reach the Heavenslaying realm, one had to at least reach the Immortal Realm.】

【You saw that Heavenslaying was divided into four realms in total: the first was Drawing the Sword into the Dao, the second was Forging the Soul Sword Embryo, the third was Condensing the Sword to Break the Heavens, and the fourth was Slaying the Heavens with One Sword!】

【For you, the most difficult part was the third realm, Condensing the Sword to Break the Heavens. This stage required tempering through every heavenly tribulation of the Tribulation Stage. Only after enduring nine layers of heavenly tribulation could it be brought to great completion.】

【Three months later!】

【You slowly opened your eyes, your brows tightly furrowed.】

【After three months of cultivation, you realized that your Heavenslaying had not progressed in the slightest.】

【You discovered that inside the secret realm, you were completely unable to perceive the Sword Dao laws of heaven and earth.】

【And so, you made a bold decision.】

【The next day, you decisively left the Blood Demon Secret Realm and headed for the Sword Pavilion.】

【After returning to the Sword Pavilion, you found the tallest peak there and began cultivating in seclusion.】

【You sat cross-legged atop the peak with your eyes closed, sensing the Sword Dao laws of heaven and earth.】

【Year Twenty-Two!】

【This year was the final deadline of your agreement with Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable. You slowly opened your eyes.】

【This time, you were no longer disappointed.】

【During this year of cultivation, you had gathered several strands of Sword Intent born from the laws of heaven and earth and drawn them into your dantian.】

【Unfortunately, these few strands of Sword Intent were still far from enough to merge into Sword Essence.】

【You rose to your feet and headed toward the Blood Demon Secret Realm. Although you had not completed the first realm, Drawing the Sword into the Dao, it was not as though you had gained nothing. You were quite satisfied inwardly.】

【Three days later!】

【You arrived at the Blood Demon Secret Realm, where Zi You and Jiang Yang had already been waiting for some time.】

【You had told Zi You in advance that once Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable’s seal was undone, a great battle might break out, so Zi You had brought Jiang Yang with her to the Blood Demon Secret Realm.】

【At the same time, you had told Xuanyuan Tianji, Ye Chuxue, and the others to return to the Sword Pavilion ahead of time.】

【After everyone had withdrawn, you came to the blood stele.】

【Looking at the blood stele before you, you took a deep breath and smashed it apart with a single slash of the Taixu Sword!】

【The moment the blood stele was destroyed, the Taixu Sword fragment within it instantly flew toward you, wanting to merge with the Taixu Sword in your hand.】

【In the next instant, a fierce Taixu Sword Intent erupted from your entire body, and you forcibly suppressed the incoming Taixu Sword fragment.】

【You stored the Taixu Sword fragment separately in a storage ring.】

【You knew that now was not yet the time to fuse the Taixu Sword.】

【BOOM!】

【You saw the ground before you blasted apart from below under a savage force, and Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable’s figure appeared within the secret realm.】

【“Boy! You actually dared to deceive me?”】

【After breaking the seal and sensing the spiritual energy in the secret realm, Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable’s face instantly turned livid.】

【He remembered that you had told him before that the spiritual energy in the Blood Demon Secret Realm would still last for a long time.】

【Yet after breaking free of the seal, he discovered that the spiritual energy in the Blood Demon Secret Realm had already become incredibly thin. Under such circumstances, even if no one used it, it would not last a hundred more years.】

【“Very good!”】

【“You are the first person who has ever dared toy with me like this. You wouldn’t happen to think that just because I’ve only just come out and have no cultivation yet, there is nothing I can do to you, would you?”】

【Looking at Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable before you, you naturally knew that he had already attained Fleshly Sainthood and could battle Mahayana cultivators with his body alone.】

【“You think I don’t know you’ve attained Fleshly Sainthood? You think I came without any preparation?”】

【“Senior Sister! Senior Brother!”】

【The moment your words fell, Zi You and Jiang Yang each slashed out a sword intent at Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable.】

【The sword intents were so fast that Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable had no time to dodge. Both strikes landed directly on his body.】

【To your surprise, however, those two attacks left only two faint marks on him.】

【“Hmph!”】

【“I’ll spare you for now. In at most three years, once my cultivation has recovered, I’ll come back and devour all of you little morsels!”】

【Watching Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable depart, the corners of your mouth lifted slightly, and you left him with a parting remark.】

【“Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable, you won’t get that chance! Treasure the little time you have left!”】

【After leaving, Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable revealed a disdainful expression when he heard your threat.】

【In his view, you were merely indulging in wishful thinking.】

【Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable knew that so long as he returned to the Purple Firmament Holy Land, he could recover his Tribulation Stage cultivation in at most three years. When that time came, he would personally kill you.】

【Blood Demon Secret Realm —】

【Zi You looked at you in confusion and asked why you had let Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable leave. Jiang Yang looked at you with the same puzzled expression.】

【You told the two of them that once Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable returned to the Purple Firmament Holy Land, he would immediately restore his cultivation to the Tribulation Stage.】

【“And then?”】

【“Wouldn’t that just mean we’d have even less power to fight back once Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable reaches the Tribulation Stage?”】

【You shook your head and said,】

【“There isn’t enough time!”】

【“There are only two years left before the great calamity of heaven and earth. Once Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable recovers his cultivation, he simply will not have the time to come after us for revenge!”】

【“Besides...”】

【You told Zi You and Jiang Yang that once Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable recovered his cultivation, the Purple Firmament Holy Land would definitely announce it to the world. When that happened, the major powers of the Central Continent would all go there bearing gifts.】

【You told Zi You that this was exactly the moment you had been waiting for — you were going to seize things by force, and what you wanted to seize was an extreme yang object.】

【That was also the main reason you had let Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable leave.】

【“What if we don’t make it in time?”】

【You spread your hands and said it would not matter even if you failed to make it in time. After all, this was the only fast way for you to obtain an extreme yang object. If it truly did not work out, then you simply would not fuse the Taixu Immortal Sword.】
