Chaotic Sword God

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Sword Heart Ancestor’s sword collided intensely against the several dozen feathers. As startling rumbles rang out, the entire space collapsed.

The several dozen feathers from Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts were all repelled by the Sword Heart Ancestor. He achieved that with composure and without breaking a sweat, seemingly expending no effort at all.

At this moment, the small umbrella that was left with its ribs after losing all of its feathers radiated with a desolate and ancient presence. The huge shadow of a vermillion bird suddenly appeared from the bones.

Under this shadow, space shook as the ways yielded. The laws that weaved through the space there became disorderly.

They were the bones of a Grand Exalt. What appeared right now was a shadow of their owner, as well as the ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan.

Swish!

Suddenly, the umbrella ribs that produced the ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan shot off like a sword, shattering the space there. It flew towards the Sword Heart Ancestor with unbelievable speed together with the shadow.

The Sword Heart Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly. He could sense a wisp of presence from a Grand Exalt from Nanming Yuyan’s attack. It was impossible for the bone to possess the power of Grand Exalts by itself anymore, but the Sword Heart Ancestor sensed a suppression that originated from the bloodline with the presence.

However, the Sword Heart Ancestor used a God Tier Battle Skill without any hesitation. The tremendous might of the world filled the space. The sword in his hand had already turned into a colossal strand of sword Qi. It collided with the umbrella with the mighty power of the ways of the world.

The Grand Exalt’s shadow from the umbrella immediately collapsed before the Sword Heart Ancestor’s God Tier Battle Skill, and the umbrella ribs dimmed as well. The power of fire contained within dissipated as it was launched far away.

After repelling the Grand Exalt’s bone, the Sword Heart Ancestor’s God Tier Battle Skill did not dissipate. The colossal strand of sword Qi continued to shine with dazzling light, illuminating the entire space and striking Nanming Yuyan in the chest mercilessly.

Boom!

With a thump, Nanming Yuyan was knocked far away. A large number of the sturdy feathers on her chest had shattered. Her flesh beneath the feathers had already been reduced to a bloody mess. The divine blood of a vermillion bird was scattered everywhere.

The eyes of the spectating Immortal Exalts and Immortal Emperors in the distance all burned with desire, staring at the blood like it was treasure.

To many of them, the divine blood of vermillion birds scattered in outer space right now was a treasure that they could only dream of. It was extremely precious.

In particular, the pure energy and presence of the Laws of Fire in the divine blood of vermillion birds was of tremendous benefit to immortals that cultivated the Laws of Fire.

This was the blood of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt after all. Blood as precious as that was extremely rare in the world.

“Nanming Yuyan, you are my senior in terms of age, but when it comes to strength, you are no longer my opponent.” The Sword Heart Ancestor did not continue with his attacks. His sword hovered in the air as sword Qi danced around him.

“Hehehehe, little Sword Heart, it has been several centuries since we’ve last met. You’ve really outdone yourself. Even if you face big brother from the Azure Dragon clan with your current strength, you should be able to last a few attacks. You won’t be virtually helpless like you were back then,” the ten-metre-tall vermillion bird said in human tongue. Its crisp, pleasant voice was filled with iciness.

With that, she began to shrink, growing smaller with each passing moment.

Whenever she shrank, Nanming Yuyan’s presence grew slightly stronger as if the energy in her body was being compressed, undergoing some kind of qualitative transformation.

In the end, Nanming Yuyan shrank to three metres in height. By now, the presence she gave off had already surpassed the boundary of the Seventh Heavenly Layer, virtually reaching the domain of the Eighth Heavenly Layer.

Of course, this was only the strength of her presence. Her cultivation remained at the peak of the Seventh Heavenly Layer.

Terrifying flames that could incinerate space burned around Nanming Yuyan. She charged towards the Sword Heart Ancestor aggressively. The areas she passed by were all reduced to darkness. Everything was set alight.

The Sword Heart Ancestor furrowed his brows slightly. The sword in his hand shone with blinding light, dividing the heavens and the earth, slashing out with brilliance.

Boom!

With a rumble, all of the roaring flames around Nanming Yuyan were shattered. The sharp sword Qi shot past her body, leaving behind a bone-deep wound on her back.

Nanming Yuyan of the Vermillion Bird clan was consistently disadvantaged in her clash against the Sword Heart Ancestor. She was completely overwhelmed by him.

But at this moment, Nanming Yuyan suddenly smiled wickedly and said gently, “Little Sword Heart, you’re done!”

The Sword Heart Ancestor’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

In the next moment, a tremendous omen of danger overwhelmed him. A black feather hovered out eerily from the horrific wound on Nanming Yuyan’s back, releasing a terrifying presence that brought chills to all Immortal Exalts.

The Sword Heart Ancestor immediately became stern when he saw the black feather, as the feather originated from the past Grand Exalt of the Vermillion Bird clan.

Unlike the umbrella, the Grand Exalt’s feather had clearly been refined through a special process. Not only did it contain even greater power, but it also bore the power of a curse.

The power of the curse gave off a chilling presence, turning the vermillion bird feather that was originally supposed to be bountiful in colour black.

Swish!

As soon as the black feather appeared, it turned into a streak of light, shooting towards the Sword Heart Ancestor with unbelievable speed.

The Sword Heart Ancestor retreated rapidly as he slashed out with his full strength. The brilliant light cleaved through outer space, landing heavily against the black feather with destructive power.

When the two made contact, a great rumble erupted, but the black feather only paused slightly before turning back into a streak of light, shooting directly towards the Sword Heart Ancestor with even greater speed.

Spurt!

Immediately, the black feather shattered the Sword Heart Ancestor’s protective sword Qi, penetrating his high quality god artifact armour before plunging deeply into his heart.

Shortly afterwards, the power of curses began to flow from the black feather, infiltrating the Sword Heart Ancestor.

The Sword Heart Ancestor’s expression changed drastically. A tremendous energy erupted from his body in an attempt to shake off the feather, but it seemed to be rooted in him already. It refused to budge.

He reached over and tried to pull it out, but this attempt had no effect. The black feather had already fused with his flesh, his bones, and even his soul.

Black Qi radiated from the Sword Heart Ancestor’s body. Even his complexion rapidly darkened.

The power of the curse had kicked it, spreading across his entire body at an unstoppable rate.

“In the past, an ancestor of our clan died to a curse. This curse originated from a Grand Exalt. Even though its power in the ancestor’s feather has already diminished significantly after all these years, it is still enough to destroy you.”
