CHAPTER 360: CHAPTER 57: ALL MUST DIE!

"Master, you’re awake!"

At the moment, Feng Ning and Emperor Haili are fiercely fighting.

The feeling of casually using her master’s Sword Dao realm intoxicates Ling Yue Sword Immortal.

However, she hadn’t fought to her heart’s content when a figure emerged from her sword; who else could it be but Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor?

Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor’s appearance immediately drained Feng Ning of power, returning his combat strength to its original level.

"I mentioned before, with the execution of Sword Nourishing Technique, my injuries heal very quickly."

Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor’s hemp robe fluttered as she recalled her sword and nodded, speaking.

"Leave the rest to me." The swift recovery was due to her never actually being injured.

The disciple could only spar briefly with the Asking Demon Cultivator because she expended great magical power to assist, foolishly wasting much energy.

If this continues, it will undoubtedly be disadvantageous for her; however, Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor isn’t overly concerned because once this situation worsens, she believes that group outside will surely intervene.

After all, everyone’s script includes the intention of fishing out and resolving the unruly Askings one by one.

Emperor Haili is one such unruly Asking.

Its master is an old demon within the Immortal Alliance, and this old demon has two outstanding disciples: Corpse Emperor and Emperor Haili.

When the Immortal Alliance was destroyed, Corpse Emperor and Emperor Haili had yet to mature, but soon, they succeeded in Asking and founded Yin Corpse Sect and Nether Hall independently.

Many top forces on Celestial Essence Continent have had some involvement in the war to overthrow the Immortal Alliance, with the primary force being the first-generation Ancient Emperor, yet other sects contributed significantly as well.

Due to this, Corpse Emperor and Emperor Haili, with their "previous dynasty background," always struggled to integrate into the current mainstream Cultivation Realm.

Unlike regions like Qingzhou and Martial Emperor City, which, although maintaining competitive relations with the Ancient Country, still engage in commerce, buying pills from Qingzhou and artifacts from Martial Emperor City...

Indeed, even with demon beast forces, human righteous sects are more accepting than they are of the two demon sects.

After all, many prominent forces can’t entirely detach from the downfall of the former sect of the two Asking Demon Cultivators.

Even later, the first-generation Ancient Emperor considered exterminating Corpse Emperor and Emperor Haili once and for all, but the emergence of Celestial Demon Sect drew much of the focus, aiding other demon sects... Moreover, Corpse Emperor and Emperor Haili’s numerous survival techniques made them arduous to completely eradicate.

Besides Yin Corpse Sect and Nether Hall, Gu God Sect’s situation isn’t much different.

Gu God Sect’s founder, Duan Chong, originally possessed a mundane body and stumbled upon Immortal Alliance’s legacy, gradually pursuing the path to immortality.

Initially led by Creation Immortal Body Luo Miao and others, the Immortal Alliance was the righteous leader in overthrowing the wicked Immortal Palace and saving the continent. But over time, with the demise of sages, degeneration was inevitable.

Many evil forbidden techniques involving the human body, such as Gu Insect Technique, emerged during that phase, researched unscrupulously by some Immortal Alliance cultivators in pursuit of power.

"If you don’t appear now, there’ll be a catastrophe..." Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor murmured in her heart while looking at Emperor Haili.

Feng Ning perhaps hasn’t sensed it, but she has.

The Immortal Sword from Celestial Sword Sect has been activated by someone!

This person, Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor knows without a doubt who it is.

Demon Court Saint Child, Lin Jing!

Now she has two words, regret!

Why permit her disciple to send Lin Jing and Apparatus Ghost to Celestial Sword Sect?

At first, she didn’t take it seriously, never imagining Lin Jing could control Apparatus Ghost, wielding an Immortal Sword.

After all, Nether Hall sought Apparatus Ghost because it was inherently a Spirit Body, and Nether Hall is proficient at manipulating souls.

Emperor Haili at Asking stage could control Apparatus Ghost at Empty Profound Stage, intending to activate an Immortal Artifact, which Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor understood.

Such a possibility indeed existed.

But how could Lin Jing, who only promoted to Divinity Transformation stage by burning his lifespan, manage the Apparatus Ghost at Empty Profound Stage!

Though knowing Lin Jing may be well-intentioned, using the Immortal Sword to aid them, Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor still harbors a subtle grief; the Immortal Sword... her dream sword now, being trampled by this junior Lin Jing.

"That punk wouldn’t refuse to return the Immortal Sword, would he?" Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor couldn’t be blamed for thinking this way; the allure of Immortal Artifacts is exceedingly great, especially as Lin Jing can now easily wield it!

"Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor..."

Currently, with Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor appearing, Emperor Haili falls silent.

It coped with Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor’s prior state, but her true form awakening undoubtedly complicates things for Emperor Haili.

Sword Cultivators are utterly restraining to Ghost Cultivators.

Ghost Cultivators aren’t powerful, being inherently incomplete remnants, only capable of bullying those who don’t primarily cultivate soul power.

The sole advantage is longevity.

Yet each powerful Sword Cultivator has a soul akin to a sword spirit, incredibly sharp, leaving little gain for Ghost Cultivators.

Moreover, there’s a mighty Immortal Sword en route from the Ancient Country.

"So fast!" Suddenly, as the Immortal Sword’s fluctuations neared, Emperor Haili deliberated briefly and chose retreat, disappearing into the void. Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor did not stop him.

Bang!!!

Until the Heaven-Questioning Sword descended, Lin Jing, on it, looked at Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor and Feng Ning hovering in the air, unable to hold back: "Elder Lie Tian... your injuries... all healed so swiftly?"

"Where’s Emperor Haili??"

"Seeing me recover and you arriving with the Immortal Sword drove it to flee," Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor replied.

"Can the elder pursue its escape path? We can’t let this go." Lin Jing stated, understanding that driving the Immortal Sword currently costs him dearly!

Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor shook her head: "It’s meaningless; even if the two of us caught up, we can’t annihilate Emperor Haili. The three demon sects have endured because each holds an insoluble escape magic. Emperor Haili’s Soul-Division Secret Technique can split his soul into countless parts, attaching to different vessels; unless all remnants are annihilated simultaneously, destroying one part accomplishes nothing, allowing for resurrection on other bones."

"Ancient Emperor tried to exterminate Emperor Haili numerous times but couldn’t eradicate him... Hence, the matter of Nether Hall should be left to that one." She insinuated the Buddha Lord from the Sun Temple, who has been researching methods to thoroughly annihilate Emperor Haili; Buddha sect’s secret techniques, compared to Sword Dao, are more suppressive of undead. It’s better to rely on Buddha Lord now, who surely has already targeted the exposed Nether Hall.

Lin Jing nodded, not insisting, stood on the Immortal Sword, and uttered something that pierced Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor’s heart anew.

"Alright, Elder, but lend me the Immortal Sword for half a day; once I’m done, I’ll return it to you. I’m going to strike Sea God Palace and Mist Forest twice!"

Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor: ...
