Chapter 127: The Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth Descends!

【Year Twenty-Three!】

【After returning to the Sword Pavilion, you once again went to the mountain peak to cultivate the divine power — Heavenslaying!】

【Because you now had prior experience from your earlier cultivation, this time your speed in capturing Sword Intent born from the Sword Dao laws was even faster.】

【At the beginning of Year Twenty-Four!】

【At last, you condensed all the Sword Intent within your dantian into Sword Essence!】

【Next came the most crucial moment of all — you needed to face the darkest inner demon hidden deep within your heart.】

【The moment you thought back to the last time your inner demon had appeared, when your Dao heart had been unstable and had almost allowed the Bizarre insects to exploit a weakness—】

【Seven days later!】

【Your consciousness arrived within a dark space.】

【Tap... tap... tap...】

【You saw a figure slowly emerge from the darkness. The moment you saw its face, your eyes narrowed tightly.】

【You saw the inner demon appear before you in your own form, yet your heart remained utterly calm.】

【With fierce Sword Intent, you struck directly at the inner demon, and in the end, it was slain by your Sword Intent.】

【Clang! Clang! Clang!】

【In an instant, the mountain peak where you sat and the entire Sword Pavilion rang out with waves of sword cries.】

【The sound of the sword cries echoed throughout the whole Sword Pavilion, drawing everyone’s attention to the heavenly phenomenon before their eyes.】

【At that moment, you slowly opened your eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.】

【“The first level of Heavenslaying has been successfully cultivated!”】

【You saw everyone looking at you curiously, and you gave an awkward smile.】

【You explained to them that you had merely been cultivating just now.】

【“I never expected it. You were actually cultivating such a profound sword divine power that it could even trigger a heavenly phenomenon.”】

【Xuanyuan Tianji had the broadest horizons among them all, and with a single glance, she saw what kind of divine power you were cultivating.】

【You had not expected that cultivating Heavenslaying would trigger a heavenly phenomenon, so you changed the subject and asked Zi You about the movements of the Purple Firmament Holy Land.】

【“Little Junior Brother, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten!”】

【“Not long ago, the Purple Firmament Holy Land just announced that in half a year, they would hold a banquet to celebrate Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable’s return!”】

【When you heard this news, the corners of your mouth could not help but rise.】

【Zi You and Jiang Yang both looked at you with complicated expressions. Neither of them had expected things to truly develop exactly as you had predicted.】

【“Half a year from now...”】

【You calculated the timing and realized that the great calamity of heaven and earth would also descend in roughly half a year.】

【Because of that, you knew that on this trip to the Purple Firmament Holy Land, you would be able to act boldly and without too many scruples.】

【You brought everyone back to the main hall of the Sword Pavilion and told them that the great calamity of heaven and earth would descend in half a year, and that your operation would begin after you returned from the Purple Firmament Holy Land.】

【Right after that, you informed Zi You and Jiang Yang that you would soon be setting out for the Central Continent to meet up with Zhuge Qing.】

【The next day!】

【You left the Sword Pavilion and headed for the Central Continent.】

【Three months later, you successfully reunited with Zhuge Qing in a secret realm in the Eastern Region.】

【After meeting Zhuge Qing, what surprised you was that Qin Yang had already broken through to Initial Mahayana, and had suffered no backlash whatsoever from the Bizarre insects.】

【When you saw that, you finally let out a sigh of relief inwardly.】

【Two months later!】

【As the date drew nearer and nearer, you noticed that quite a few great families and sects had already begun preparing lavish gifts and making their way toward the Purple Firmament Holy Land.】

【In the end, you decided to do the same as before and mix into the Great Zhou Empire’s delegation on your way to the Purple Firmament Holy Land.】

【The Four Great Families of the Eastern Region were still a bit too strong. You were afraid of exposing your identity ahead of time, so you had no choice but to choose the weaker Great Zhou Empire instead.】

【One month later!】

【You successfully entered the Purple Firmament Holy Land.】

【As the banquet slowly began, the elders of the Purple Firmament Holy Land stepped forward to deliver their speeches.】

【Zhuge Qing and Jiang Yang remained at the banquet to draw attention, while you and Zi You used the Great Void Art to go steal treasures.】

【As time passed, noon soon approached.】

【Once noon arrived, it would be time for all the sects and factions to present their gifts.】

【And yet, at this very moment, you still had not found what you wanted.】

【“Dragon Saliva Immortal Herb!”】

【Suddenly, you heard Zi You transmit her voice to you. She told you that she had found a stalk of Dragon Saliva Immortal Herb.】

【The moment you heard it was Dragon Saliva Immortal Herb, your heart was profoundly shaken.】

【After all, Dragon Saliva Immortal Herb was an even more precious spiritual object than Dragon Saliva Grass. Although it was of the same grade as the Nine Netherworld Grass, it was far more valuable than the Nine Netherworld Grass.】

【You had once seen a ninth-grade pill formula in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and the most important ingredient in it had been Dragon Saliva Immortal Herb.】

【“Who goes there?”】

【When you heard the words Dragon Saliva Immortal Herb, you froze for an instant. And in that moment of distraction, you forgot that it had already reached the time for the gift presentation. Your theft of the treasures was instantly exposed.】

【“Someone is stealing spiritual objects!!!”】

【That voice was so loud that in an instant, it spread throughout the entire Purple Firmament Holy Land.】

【When Zhuge Qing and Jiang Yang, who were within the banquet, heard that shout, their expressions immediately turned grave.】

【The other factions at the banquet were so startled that some of them could hardly believe it.】

【“Stealing?”】

【“Who would be so bold as to steal from the Purple Firmament Holy Land?”】

【“Exactly. Who’s so tired of living that they’d come rushing here to die?”】

【Inside the pavilion, Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable’s expression darkened instantly when he heard this.】

【He had never expected that just after recovering to the Tribulation Stage, someone would dare come to his banquet and steal treasures. This was not merely a slap in the face of the Purple Firmament Holy Land — it was a slap in the face of Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable himself.】

【Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable rose to his feet and, in the next instant, appeared beside the person who had just spoken.】

【“You said someone was stealing spiritual objects. Who was it?”】

【Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable followed the direction of that person’s finger. In the next instant, his pupils contracted slightly, and then a smile spread across his face.】

【“Hahahaha!”】

【“You brat! I hadn’t even gone looking for you yet, and you actually delivered yourself to my door!”】

【Bzzzz!!!】

【BOOM!!!】

【Suddenly, a series of humming vibrations rang out through heaven and earth. Everyone raised their heads and looked toward the void. Even Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable was drawn by the disturbance.】

【But very quickly, Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable’s gaze locked onto you once more.】

【“You don’t actually think you can still escape, do you?”】

【Originally, you had still been worrying about when the great calamity would arrive. But after seeing the disturbance just now, you instead looked at Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable with complete ease.】

【“Escape?”】

【“Who said I was going to escape?”】

【“You don’t actually think you can really kill me, do you?”】

【Seeing how confident and fearless you looked, Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable instinctively glanced around.】

【“What? Did your other two insect companions come as well?”】

【“My cultivation has already recovered to the Tribulation Stage. Do you really think those two companions of yours can still save you?”】

【You shook your head, a disdainful look on your face, and pointed toward the void.】

【“Not them. This!”】

【BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!】

【In the next instant, thunder roared in all directions, and the void shook violently.】

【Only then did Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable realize that something was wrong, and he looked up into the void.】

【“That is...?”】
