Chapter 412: Chapter 233: Forced onto Jiushan, Demon Ancestor Descends onto the World

The colder the Blood River Ancestor’s face was, the number Master Pang’s feet were.

Truth be told, he really thought… the Blood River Ancestor should have been killed by Cheng Kong.

Alas, Xuanwei Five Sects.

Alas, Quiet Bamboo.

Are you really setting me up like this?

Although the Blood River Ancestor’s appearance was somewhat abrupt, Zheng Fa and the others were well-prepared.

Zhang waved her hand, and the Mountain and River Seal in her grasp swiftly flew out, striking towards the Blood River Ancestor’s head.

The Sun and Moon Clock followed, radiating in splendid golden light, with the sun and moon circulating on it, the sound of tolling bells echoing throughout the Jiushan Realm.

The sound of the bells was grand and powerful, and Elder Yuan and others standing aside felt as if mountains and rivers were reversing and the Milky Way was dancing.

It was evident Zheng Fa had used all his strength.

Not to mention the Blood River Ancestor who was bearing the brunt of the golden clock’s pressure—he may have not died, but it looked like he suffered a great loss under the Quiet Bamboo, even his physical body had perished, leaving only a Nascent Soul phantom.

Under the ringing of the bells, this phantom flickered, and he could hardly hide the pain on his face.

Seeing this scene, Elder Yuan and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

But Zhang looked at Zheng Fa, a hint of confusion in her eyes—others might not notice, but she could see that Zheng Fa was somewhat distracted, and had even acted slower than herself just now.

Indeed, Zheng Fa was somewhat absent-minded:

He had just used the Positive and Negative Five Elements Divine Light and felt something unusual.

This feeling might be because it was his first time confronting Divinity Transformation—before, he would never dare to use this thing to sweep over Divinity Transformation.

The Immortal Sword had been suppressed under the Sun and Moon Clock for some time.

He had never tried it like this before.

Now he gave it a try mainly because his cultivation had improved, and he had more confidence in his heart.

Most importantly, he was unsure about the Blood River Ancestor’s state of life or death and had to probe.

But he also felt something was amiss:

It seemed that the changes in the Five Elements Divine Light were not because of the Blood River Ancestor, but because of himself.

With a powerful enemy before them, this thought flashed by, and Zheng Fa concentrated his mind, controlling the Sun and Moon Clock, striving together with Zhang to suppress the Blood River Ancestor.

Although the Blood River Ancestor was rather sneaky when dodging, at this moment, he was extremely fierce, with a cold gaze, the blood-colored Immortal Sword surged with power, unleashing his Divinity Transformation strength without reservation.

In the sky of the Jiushan Realm, as the three of them fought, it became unpredictable—

Golden light and blood color intertwined, contended, rising and falling like waves.

The mist above the Nine Islands was dyed in two colors.

Spiritual Energy shattered, dissipated, and then re-formed between the Sun and Moon Clock and the Immortal Sword, leaving the Medicine Garden desolate and withered, as if a typhoon had swept through.

Elder Yuan and the other Nascent Souls were forced to retreat, not daring to linger.

Only Zhang stood aloft, holding the Mountain and River Seal in her hand, a Mountain and River True Form Talisman enveloped the Immortal Sword of the Blood River Ancestor like a net.

Zheng Fa and Zhang were both at the level of Divinity Transformation combat power and had previously suppressed this Immortal Sword.

Now they were inside the Jiushan Realm, with the Blood River Ancestor carrying injuries, so their relative strength was clear without saying.

In less than the time it takes for three sticks of incense to burn, only the dazzling golden light of the Sun and Moon Clock and the celestial Zhang remained in the sky.

The Immortal Sword of the Blood River Ancestor was left with only a thin layer of blood light around it, with no more strength to contend against the Sun and Moon Clock.

But that blood light was like a thin membrane, protecting the sword, indestructible, staying implacably still against the attacks of the Sun and Moon Clock and the Mountain and River Seal.

Zheng Fa and Zhang exchanged glances, both subtly furrowing their brows.

Behind, Master Pang, whose legs were somewhat weak, moved closer and asked, “He can’t be killed?”

It was evident he was quite anxious—after all, offending the Blood River Ancestor was no small matter.

Zheng Fa did not speak, they had discussed before coming:

The best way to deal with the Blood River Ancestor was to kill him directly:

If later Cheng Kong demanded the Jiushan Sect’s help, presenting this Immortal Sword would also show the Jiushan Sect’s due contribution.

Other matters should not be disturbed.

Of course, the main reason was, leaving such a Divinity Transformation in the Jiushan Realm made them all uneasy.

Especially the Great Freedom Demon Sect, where the upper echelon cultivators had strong control over lower-level cultivators, Zheng Fa was quite wary within his heart—

If the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor were to use the Blood River Ancestor to initiate a descent into the Jiushan Realm…

That would be a major issue.

Zheng Fa pondered for a moment, then a surge of Spiritual Power emerged from within him, rushing into the Sun and Moon Clock.

The ringing of the Sun and Moon Clock grew more urgent, the golden light even fiercer, illuminating every corner of sky and earth in the Jiushan Realm.

Not only the denizens of the Heavenly Palace Nine Islands but also the common folk of the Jiushan Realm were looking up at the dazzling golden light in the sky.

Master Pang and the others knew Zheng Fa was exerting his full power, attempting to kill the Blood River Ancestor.

Everyone watched as the blood-colored membrane around the flying sword grew smaller and fainter, the sword body trembling slightly as if crying out in lament and begging for mercy, and they exchanged glances, their eyes brimming with joy—

It seemed that Zheng Fa might indeed be able to kill the Blood River Ancestor, removing this future trouble.

But after a short while, the golden light on the Sun and Moon Clock suddenly dimmed, and even the bell sounds seemed a bit listless.

Master Pang and the others couldn’t help but look towards Zheng Fa, only to see his face pale with a touch of helplessness.

He pointed towards the Sun and Moon Clock and said, “This thing… consumes too much Spiritual Power…”

The others fell into a silent sigh:

Zheng Fa, the Sect Leader, was great in many ways, just not very enduring…

Looking again at the Immortal Sword of the Blood River Ancestor, everyone frowned.

Although the sword body was dimmer than before, it still appeared intact.

Sure enough, the phantom of the Blood River Ancestor slowly emerged again, coldly smirking at everyone, as if taking pride in triumph.

“I’ll go!”

Zhang raised the Mountain and River Seal in her hand, ready to act.

Zheng Fa grabbed her arm and shook his head.

Unlike himself, Zhang’s previous full-force effort had injured her, and it had taken nearly a year to recover.
