CHAPTER 1037: CHAPTER 1038: THE DEMON SWORD UNLEASHED

"You want me dead? Boy, even as death approaches, you still speak such boastful words?"

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, the Sky Demon Venerable was initially indifferent. Even with the Human Emperor Jar in possession, Chu Fengmian was no match for him.

He was unafraid of any trump cards Chu Fengmian might have.

But the moment he clearly saw the purple long sword in Chu Fengmian’s hand, the Sky Demon Venerable’s pupils suddenly contracted, filled with intense horror, and deep fear was hidden in the depths of his eyes.

"This... this... the Blood Slaughter Demon Sword? The Blood Slaughter Demon Sword?"

The purple long sword in Chu Fengmian’s hand was permeated with an aura of killing intent, a scent of blood, stained by countless amounts of blood.

This reminded the Sky Demon Venerable of something terrifying, something feared by everyone in the Demon Sect, even within the Nine Domains.

Blood Slaughter Demon Sword.

The most fearsome spiritual artifact in the Nine Domains, responsible for the fall of half the martial artists a millennium ago.

The Nine Domains, with martial artists numbering in billions, saw half their blood form an ocean.

The oceans of the Nine Domains were stained blood red by slaughter, only recovering in appearance after thousands of years.

Though the Blood Slaughter Demon Sword disappeared a millennium ago, the fear it instilled remained in everyone’s hearts.

Even Han Yueli, seeing Chu Fengmian’s transformation, looked at him as if he were a stranger, stunned.

"Take good care of her for me."

Chu Fengmian handed Luo Xi, who was in his arms, over to Han Yueli.

As Luo Xi was handed to Han Yueli, the last glimmer in Chu Fengmian’s eyes turned into blood red.

"Old beast, I want you dead."

The same words repeated.

If the Sky Demon Venerable regarded them lightly last time, this time, his gaze showed deep fear.

The dread of the Blood Slaughter Demon Sword comes with a legend.

Whoever wields the Blood Slaughter Demon Sword can inherit its power; even an average person can become a feared existence within the Nine Domains.

"No, you haven’t mastered the power of the Blood Slaughter Demon Sword yet. I still have a chance to kill you. Kill you, and the Blood Slaughter Demon Sword will be mine!"

The Sky Demon Venerable looked at Chu Fengmian, his gaze showing signs of madness.

He was the first to strike, gathering surrounding demon intent, transforming into a blade, aimed directly at Chu Fengmian.

This blade was several times more terrifying than the one that broke the Canglan Immortal Armor earlier.

"Chu Fengmian, be careful!"

Han Yueli shouted loudly beside him.

For she saw that Chu Fengmian didn’t move at all when facing the blade.

It was only when the blade was about to approach that Chu Fengmian slowly raised his sword edge.

Boom!

An ordinary sword strike, without any technique, not even activating sword intent.

Yet this single strike completely shattered the Sky Demon Venerable’s blade, breaking it in mid-air.

The sword edge, stained with unknown amounts of blood, appeared before the Sky Demon Venerable the next moment.

Upon smelling the blood scent, the Sky Demon Venerable’s face turned deathly pale.

"Spare me, spare me! If you spare me, our Six Paths Demon Sect is willing to serve you as our master! To make you the Demon Emperor!"

In this moment, the Sky Demon Venerable’s heart finally collapsed, leaving only fear.

He didn’t want to die; as a quasi-emperor who struggled to reach the emperor realm, he didn’t want to die.

Upon hearing the Sky Demon Venerable, Chu Fengmian’s response was only eyes filled with killing intent.

Since the moment the Sky Demon Venerable harmed Luo Xi, he was a dead man, destined for death.

Chu Fengmian said nothing, demonstrating through action as he raised his sword edge high, slashing it towards the Sky Demon Venerable’s body.

The Blood Slaughter Demon Sword pierced the Sky Demon Venerable’s body, shattering his internal organs, causing his entire body to start exploding.

"Damn it! Damn it, you still won’t spare me! I will drag you all down with me; perish together, die with me!"

As his body was being torn apart, the Sky Demon Venerable’s face twisted fiercely, his gaze cruel.

His body suddenly swelled, and every single spiritual power within him started expanding, exploding.

"Quickly escape! He intends to self-destruct!"

Han Yueli’s eyes showed fear, her body trembling.

Self-destruction by a quasi-emperor could destroy everything, impossible to withstand.

"Still trying to escape? You all shall die with me today!"

The Sky Demon Venerable roared loudly, having given up on survival, choosing to perish together.

Under the influence of the Sky Demon Venerable’s power, layers of demon intent began gathering, sealing the space around them.

Even activating Cloud Feather Heavenly Palace to escape was impossible now.

As the sealing completed, the Sky Demon Venerable finally resolved, his whole body exploded in mid-air.

Vast spiritual power exploded, destroying everything in the void.

"Break the void, use your sword to break the void!"

Xing Xuan urgently shouted.

In the dangerous explosion, Chu Fengmian’s mind suddenly cleared, hearing Xing Xuan’s voice, he held the Blood Slaughter Demon Sword, channeling all his power into the sword edge.

"Slaughter Blood Heaven and Earth!"

This strike aimed towards the void ahead, slashed straight through it.

"Crack!"

Under this sword strike, the void before him began to devour itself into cracks.

Void fracture!

He planned to forcefully escape from this void.

"Yue Li, quickly go!"

As the fracture opened, Chu Fengmian grabbed Han Yueli, thrusting her into the void fracture.

"Protect yourself; I will find you!"

Not waiting for Han Yueli’s reply, Chu Fengmian hurriedly pushed her into the void fracture.

At that moment, Chu Fengmian glimpsed the unconscious Luo Xi in Han Yueli’s arms, triggering a sudden movement in his mind.

From his embrace, Xiao Jiu suddenly appeared.

"Xiao Jiu, take care of Luo Xi, protect her well."

Chu Fengmian hurriedly instructed Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu understood Chu Fengmian’s words, nodded to him, then dove into Luo Xi’s body.

Completing this, Chu Fengmian eased his hold, releasing Han Yueli and Luo Xi into the void fracture.

Simultaneously, the explosive force struck Chu Fengmian’s body.

This explosive force tore Chu Fengmian’s body repeatedly, yet Chu Fengmian used his strength to recomposed himself time and again.

His body slowly approached the void fracture.

As the fracture was about to close, Chu Fengmian finally crawled in, slipping through.
