Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

’The Heaven-Fighting Divine Palace is a Divine Artifact, but after Hanx Ziye left, I can’t use it at all. By the time I can, it’ll probably just be a glorified luxury residence.’

’But this Broken Sword forged from Bloodthirsty Celestial Cyan!’

Yang Xiao smiled.

With a wave of his hand, the Bloodthirsty Sword emerged from his body.

It circled around him, spinning ceaselessly.

Finally, its tip came to point at the Blood-Colored Broken Sword in Yang Xiao’s hand.

”Looks like you can feel it too, huh? This thing’s not bad, is it? Once I erase its consciousness and merge it into you, you might even be able to take on a physical form one day.”

Yang Xiao said with a smile, speaking to the Bloodthirsty Sword.

He looked as if he were facing an adorable child, not a deadly weapon.

As soon as he said this, the Bloodthirsty Sword seemed to become even more lively and spirited. As for the Blood-Colored Broken Sword in Yang Xiao’s hand, its trembling grew more violent.

It had clearly sensed a mortal danger.

It struggled desperately to break free.

But it couldn’t escape his grasp.

”Don’t waste your energy. I know your abilities well—they’re quite domineering. But if I’m not mistaken, you’ve spent the last three hundred years residing in Xue Yi’s body, trying to replace her. Because of that, you haven’t absorbed the flesh and Essence Qi of any other living being besides her. And how much Essence Qi can one little girl have?”

Yang Xiao smiled faintly, holding the Blood-Colored Broken Sword.

In his heart, he was immensely relieved.

Bloodthirsty Celestial Cyan.

It was a terrifying, special type of metallic lifeform—the bane of all flesh-and-blood creatures. Moreover, it grew at an extremely fast rate. If not for the fatal attraction Xue Yi’s Innate Sword Body held for it, Yang Xiao was certain all life in the entire Celestial Cloud Region would have been wiped out long ago during these past three hundred years.

That battle back in the Ancient Era...

The memory still made Yang Xiao shudder.

But this one right here...

”Both its spiritual quality and its power are too weak. Now, perish!”

Yang Xiao let out a soft cry.

A faint golden light flickered in his eyes. Immediately after, the body of the Blood-Colored Broken Sword began to tremble even more violently.

At this moment, Yang Xiao’s Spirit Will had already entered the World in the Sword.

There, a Blood-colored Space unfolded.

’So it had this trick up its sleeve, hiding its spiritual presence from me? In that case, I’ll just destroy this entire Blood-colored Space along with it!’

His consciousness rushed forward, but Yang Xiao found nothing.

He wasn’t bothered in the slightest.

With a wave of his hand, Spiritual Power spread out continuously in the form of a Vibrating Sword Wave.

BZZZZZ!

A terrifying force of Spiritual Vibration shook the entire Blood-colored Space.

And just then, a blood-red, demonic woman emerged.

Her appearance was identical to Xue Yi’s.

But compared to Xue Yi, who had been reduced to a living corpse, this Evil Sword Sense—though merely a phantasm—seemed far more vibrant.

More importantly, in contrast to Xue Yi’s cold and detached personality, this Evil Sword Sense was far more uninhibited and revealing.

Her attire, though also blood-red, was not a simple cloth robe, but a long dress.

The dress was as thin as gauze.

It revealed the lower half of her smooth, ivory-white calves. If one looked closely, one could even see her delicate, lovely toes, compelling the viewer to look again, and then again.

Especially that face, identical to Xue Yi’s but with a completely different, alluring charm.

Having seen Xue Yi, even Yang Xiao couldn’t help but marvel.

This Spirit of the Evil Sword, forged from Bloodthirsty Celestial Cyan, truly possessed an irresistible allure.

Looking utterly pitiful, she said, ”Do... do you really intend to kill me without mercy?”

Her expression, a mix of pleading and gentle accusation, was almost unbearable.

”If I didn’t know you were a Bloodthirsty Celestial Cyan, I might have actually been fooled by you. Unfortunately, I know exactly what kind of existence you are.”

”You feed on flesh-and-blood lifeforms, yet you bewitch all of creation. Some creatures once called you Celestial Demons—born to be demonic. Tsk, tsk. Quite the talent you have.”

Yang Xiao laughed wantonly within the Blood-colored Space.

The Spiritual Vibration ripples pulsed out once more.

With a BOOM, the entire Blood-colored Space was on the verge of collapse.

It began to shatter like a mirror.

And the Evil Sword Sense, with its face identical to Xue Yi’s, finally revealed its ferocious true nature.

She extended her palm, and from her tender fingers grew long, Red, blood-like nails, like ten sharp, crimson daggers.

They stabbed toward Yang Xiao’s Spirit Will.

”Die!”

”I think you’re the one who’s going to die!”

With a WHOOSH, something erupted from Yang Xiao’s body.

The True Greater Yang Fire manifested.

SZZZZLE.

The entire Blood-colored Space seemed on the verge of being incinerated.

Like wax meeting flame, it began to melt away rapidly.

At the same time, the Evil Sword Sense also began to be affected.

Its entire body looked as if it had been set ablaze.

This, of course, was not the real True Greater Yang Fire.

The real True Greater Yang Fire could neither burn down a space of consciousness nor be brought into one.

This was a True Greater Yang Fire that Yang Xiao had created through spiritual visualization.

A virtual flame.

Perfect for dealing with an illusory spirit.

This was a Spiritual Simulation technique that Yang Xiao could only use after his Spiritual Power had reached the Void Observation Middle Stage. It allowed him to simulate any of his real-world abilities within his consciousness.

The potency of the simulation depended entirely on the depth of his understanding of that power or technique.

And aside from the Time Secret Pattern, the one Yang Xiao currently understood most profoundly was undoubtedly the Greater Yang Secret Pattern.

When simulated, its power was absolutely terrifying.

The Evil Sword Sense, in Xue Yi’s form, was now covered in iridescent flames.

It looked to be in extreme pain.

It could no longer even maintain its attack.

”Are you really going to kill me? I know you like her, don’t you?”

The Evil Sword Sense pleaded.

Hearing this, Yang Xiao’s brow furrowed.

’Why do all these things assume I fall in love so easily?’

He couldn’t be bothered to waste any more words on it.

He simply said flatly, ”Too bad. You guessed wrong.”

Then, without waiting for the Evil Sword Sense to say another word, Yang Xiao waved his hand.

In an instant, a brilliant light filled the void.

It was as if a hand were crushing a blazing sun.

BOOM!

An intense and terrifyingly hot flame, in a flash, obliterated the Evil Sword Sense that had taken Xue Yi’s form.

Not a single trace was left behind.

The Evil Sword Sense was extinguished!
