CHAPTER 689: 568 BREAK OPEN THE DEMON SECT TO SEE THE BRIGHT MOON

Looking at Deng Yin clamoring about slaying the Heavenly Emperor and dominating the myriad realms of the heavens, Shi Feiyang sighed lightly, some disappointment in his tone, "It’s one thing for others to be unable to resist Chi You’s temptations, but you, having cultivated for a thousand years and established your Dao foundation on the ’Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture’ of the Mysterious Sect, still show no sign of resistance or turning back. Is it truly that your Dao heart is unstable, allowing your Demon Heart to thrive?"

Deng Yin sneered angrily, "Given our past relationship, I’ll offer you the honor of being the first to have your skin peeled off for cultivation under my command as the Blood River Marshal. Would you accept?"

"I would not," Shi Feiyang shook his head.

"Then don’t blame me for being merciless!" Under the strong will of Chi You, Deng Yin finally overcame all his scruples towards Shi Feiyang.

This time, he manifested three blood flames above his head and then formed hand seals with both hands, sacrificing the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword. From the tips of his ten fingers, he shot out ten streams of blood flame demon light, pouring a great amount into the demon sword.

"I’ll kill you first; your entire essence blood will be used to sacrifice the sword! However, I will keep your Primordial Spirit and allow you to reincarnate in my sea of blood, becoming the first Nether River Doll blood deity!"

Deng Yin laid out Shi Feiyang’s future clearly, then erupted in blood flames all over his body, the light from the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword explosively bright, as he prepared to strike Shi Feiyang with all his might.

Even Li Jingxu grew nervous, reckoning that combining Deng Yin’s Mana with the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword and unleashing all his power in one attack, there was no one in the world who could withstand it.

Unless he and Shi Feiyang jointly used the combined power of the Purple and Green union, that might be sufficient.

The green lotus conjured by Shi Feiyang’s Green Jade Avatar simply couldn’t block it, and if he was to use the Nine Grades Green Lotus to support the sword, both the flower and the man would likely be shattered by a single strike.

He guessed that Shi Feiyang would probably use the Heavenly Mirror to restrict the magic attack of the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, then use the Nine Suspicions Tripod to capture the sword’s body, but if it was just a demon sword, that might be enough. However, Deng Yin possessed the entire cultivation of the Blood Divine Demon Skill, making the success rate not so great.

With even him so worried, everyone else’s hearts were also lifted to their throats.

Just as Deng Yin was about to launch the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, the blood flames and blood rainbow swelled to their brightest and largest.

Shi Feiyang formed a hand seal with his left hand, and rapidly chanted a few phrases. Pointing through the air at Deng Yin,

Deng Yin’s body suddenly disintegrated from the inside, splitting into many pieces!

It turned out that Shi Feiyang had long anticipated that Deng Yin was deeply afflicted by his Demon Heart, merely suppressed and now actively extinguishing his Dao heart to release his demonic desires and combine with the Chi You Sword Demon. Relying on his own heart power, he would definitely not turn back, so he had given Deng Yin a White Jade Lotus Seed in advance.

That White Jade Lotus Seed had been refined by him with the Circulation Golden Talisman beforehand, and it contained another ingredient concealed within. At this moment, as he cast his magic, it exploded inside Deng Yin’s body.

Years ago, Deng Yin had peeled his own skin off, used the Golden Needle to pierce into his body’s major acupoints, then ignited Demon Fire through the needles, calcining his body to transform his flesh, bones, and muscles from substance to void, and from void to substance, repeating nine times until his entire body was refined into a crimson Blood Shadow, which could condense into form or disperse into Qi.

During the Heavenly Immortal cultivation of the Yang God, there is a stage called Returning Pill Refining Form, which is also called "peeling the pill," transitioning from Fu Trigram to Peeling Trigram.

Initially, the bodily Essence Energy is used to condense the Golden Core, and subsequently, the Golden Core is used to temper the physical body, ultimately achieving marvels in both form and spirit.

It is fairly easy for the Yin God to leave the body; common cultivators can do it, but mostly what they see are illusions from their subconscious and cannot affect the material world in any way.

The Yin God cannot even move a speck of dust.

But the Yang God can alter the material world, even capable of moving mountains and seas, shattering the void.

The key lies in the fact that within the Yang God, there is Essence and Qi; the Yin God only has Primordial Spirit, and the Yang God is a product formed after Divine Qi fuses together.

Deng Yin’s cultivation of the ’Blood God Scripture’ to its ultimate stage almost reaches the Yang God’s realm, except that it is a product formed by Divine Blood.

Qi is clear and ethereal, while blood is heavy and turbid.

After refining into a Blood Demon Incarnation, he is basically equivalent to a Yang God, with all kinds of marvelous abilities almost equal, except that he cannot Ascend.

The Stone God Palace Master used another method, eventually Ascending to the Demon Realm, which ranks above those who solely cultivated their Lifebound Divine Demons for Ascension, similar to a Golden Immortal’s Body Ascension.

Therefore, Deng Yin’s body was different from ordinary people’s; food entering his bodyerdem would normally be broken down, and if it were an ordinary time, he would have detected the abnormality as soon as the White Jade Lotus Seed entered his stomach.

However, since Shi Feiyang had previously fed him a Green Jade Lotus Seed, which, after being digested and absorbed, added much vibrant vitality to his body, greatly benefiting him and even significantly enhancing his Primordial Spirit.

This time, feeding him the White Jade Lotus Seed, he was not too cautious. After swallowing it, Shi Feiyang immediately taught him the Emperor’s Demon Refining Spell recited backward, starting his cultivation and greatly impacting his state of mind. After connecting with the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, he received more urgent summonses from it, the eagerness enticing him to rush to Jiuhua Mountain as fast as he could, by then he had almost forgotten about the White Jade Lotus Seed.

At this moment, Shi Feiyang activated the White Jade Lotus Seed inside him, directly splitting into three hundred and sixty White Light Sword Blades.

The energy condensed within the Green Jade Lotus Seed was rich, ceaselessly generating Pre-Heaven and Post-Heaven Eastern Wood energies. The White Jade Lotus Seed, however, carried primarily the killing aura of Pre-Heaven and Post-Heaven Metal.

Those three hundred and sixty blades of light, from the inside out, sliced Deng Yin into countless pieces.

Caught off guard, every piece of Deng Yin’s body transformed into a stream of blood Qi, flew into the air attempting to reconstitute.

Jiang Shu, following Shi Feiyang’s orders, had already prepared by raising the Heavenly Mirror, casting a golden beam to envelop Deng Yin, and then summoned the Nine Suspicions Tripod, firing numerous streams of golden starry red threads at Deng Yin.

Between heaven and earth, darkness instantly descended, and even the surging blood sea in the sky became invisible.

Following that, a sharp explosion occurred in the darkness, and it seemed as if millions of men, women, old and young, were crying, shouting, and howling beside everyone’s ears.

It felt like only a moment had passed, yet it also seemed like a long ten thousand years had gone by...

Light returned once more between heaven and earth.

At this moment, it was midnight, and also the middle of the month. Previously, a thousand miles of blood sea covered the sky, and ten thousand miles around were shrouded in a mist of blood, with the area near Jiuhua Mountain even more densely covered, making it impossible to see one’s own fingers.

Now the blood sea and blood fog had all disappeared, the bright moon hung high, casting its silver glow widely, illuminating thousands of mountains and valleys, and once again the heavens and earth were clear and transparent.

Except for Li Jingxu and Grandmaster You Tan, and a handful of others, nobody understood what had just happened.

Nobody knew what method Shi Feiyang had used to subdue both the fearsome Blood Demon and the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword in an instant.

The demon and sword that so many could not defeat had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Many people were carefully investigating, trying to find traces of Deng Yin and the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword.

Soon, Shi Feiyang arrived flying with Jiang Shu, holding two broken pieces of sword in his hand.

Everyone doubted their own eyes, "The Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, is it broken?"

Everyone looked at each other, the demon sword that couldn’t be cut even by the combined forces of Purple and Blue, how was it severed?

Shi Zhu went forward to pay respects to his master. Mr. Zhong, whose flying sword had been broken in the earlier swordfight, still had his heart leap, and couldn’t help asking, "Has the demon sword been destroyed like this?"

Shi Feiyang shook his head, also sighing a bit helplessly, "The sword has been destroyed, but the Sword Spirit has escaped."

So it turned out, just a moment ago, when Jiang Shu was using the Heavenly Mirror and the Nine Suspicions Tripod to capture Deng Yin, Shi Feiyang had all the three hundred and sixty strands of sword energy from the White Jade Lotus Seed weave into a sword net that tangled the nearby Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword.

With the power of the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, it could have shattered this sword net with a single strike.

However, Shi Feiyang did this just to slow down the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, his real trunk card was the Suiren’s Drill hidden inside the White Jade Lotus Seed!

This treasure was originally the ultimate artifact refined by Suiren Clan when they started fire by drilling wood, before the Yellow Emperor, the earliest to teach mankind about controlling fire.

Originally possessed of great power, Shi Feiyang had spent numerous resources and decades nourishing and refining it. He first sealed it within the lotus seed and suddenly released it, drilling horizontally into the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword.

With one strike, it split the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword in half.

With the sword body damaged, the internal Chi You, its body ruined, and sensing the Heavenly Mirror, a Void Treasure used by the Yellow Emperor, knew that further fight would surely be a certain defeat.

He then escaped from the sword body, employing the Emperor’s Demon Refining Spell to swiftly flee.

Originally, Shi Feiyang could have used Immortal Magic to stop his escape as there were so many experts present. If they just detained Chi You for a moment, even alone, Li Jingxu could have captured him.

But previously, Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor had crafted a Mixed Element Qi sphere.

Crafting this item was famously done by Tian Can and Di Que, and once activated, it could cause a blast so vast and powerful it would quake lands and split mountains within a radius of five thousand miles, with cosmic energies filling the heavens and turbulent floods and fires engulfing the sky. Within the blast radius, the atmosphere would be as heavy as mountains, wiping out all life, leaving barren lands for hundreds of years!

This weapon, a nuclear-class magical treasure within the Shushan World, was second only in its destructive power and range to the Seven Deadly Woes of the Heavenly Stars Secret Demon.

This treasure took a lot of effort and time to refine. The one by Tian Can and Di Que was created by the two together at the poles, gradually collecting residual chaotic energies about to form a planet from millennia past, taking over a thousand years to produce something the size of a foot, which could affect an area of five thousand miles. Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor’s, however, was only half as big, affecting just over a thousand miles.

Even so, Shi Feiyang couldn’t just let it explode, and so he coordinated with Jiang Shu, one using the Heavenly Mirror to hold the sphere, and the other using the Nine Suspicions Tripod to contain it.

Their speed in securing this treasure was undeniable, but Chi You was even faster, vanishing in the blink of an eye without a trace.

Hearing the simple explanation from Shi Feiyang, everyone suddenly understood, and when they looked at Shi Feiyang, their eyes were filled with respect.

He had solved problems even Li Jingxu couldn’t solve, and he had done it so easily, with just a blink of an eye, the Blood Demon was subdued, the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword was broken, and even the Mixed Element Qi sphere had been secured.

In fact, at this moment, Shi Feiyang was far behind Li Jingxu in his Daoist cultivation, strictly speaking, he was only outside the threshold of Heavenly Immortal, closer to Li Yingqiong and Zhou Qingyun, inferior to Jiang Shu who had already cultivated the Yang God, not to mention Li Jingxu, who had his flesh sanctified with both shape and spirit perfected.

His own mana was also far less than that of Li Jingxu.

The reason he was able to resolve both the demon and the sword so easily was not only because he possessed stronger and more magical treasures than Li Jingxu but also because he set up traps, exploiting the unprepared with the prepared...

Just like how he had been calculated by Grandmaster Ha Ha previously, one factor triggering another, laying out the situation, and then striking at the most crucial moment, which ensured his victory.
