Free Web NovelChapter 658: Chapter 658: Black Blade’s Rush to Nobility, The Sword in the Blood Spring
"Great Majestic Demon King, what is the situation?"
Su Han dispelled his Demonized State and reverted to his original appearance. His face was pale, but he was not seriously injured. He was now communicating with the Great Majestic Demon King, inquiring about the progress.
"It’s not enough. Perhaps absorbing those million Yin Soldiers will suffice!"
The Great Majestic Demon King’s voice was tinged with urgency and brimming with desire. A million Yin Soldiers—such a rare opportunity could be chanced upon but never sought. If he missed it, who knew when the next chance to break the seal would come.
Hearing the Great Majestic Demon King’s words, Su Han pondered for a moment before nodding.
"Very well. In that case, I will deliver you a million Yin Soldiers."
Su Han needed the power of the Black Blade. After adjusting his condition, he left the mirror space.
Returning to the Yuelan Ancient Battlefield, he was met by a sea of Yin Soldiers stretching to the horizon, a sight that shook him to the core.
BOOM! RUMBLE!
Now that they had lost the command of the King’s Remnant Soul, the million Yin Soldiers were no longer a unified force. They had descended into chaos. Among them were soldiers from both the Yuelan Kingdom and the Heavenly Sword Dynasty. As enemies in life, they remained enemies in death.
Battle had already erupted, with thunderous roars echoing everywhere. The army of Yin Soldiers had splintered into countless small squads, slaughtering one another. It was as if an emperor had fallen, and the princes now vied for the empty throne.
Just as I expected!
Gazing upon the chaotic battlefield, a glint flashed in Su Han’s eyes as he breathed a quiet sigh of relief. If he were facing a well-organized army of a million Yin Soldiers, even he would have struggled immensely. Their current disarray presented him with a tremendous opportunity.
"Kill!"
The Black Blade could not slay enemies on its own, and his Shore Flower Doppelganger had already collapsed. Therefore, Su Han had no choice but to join the fray himself, wielding the Black Blade to cut down the Yin Soldiers.
Su Han’s vigorous Qi-Blood was a fatal lure for the Yin Soldiers. The moment he emerged from the mirror space, he had already drawn the attention of countless foes. Now, Su Han unleashed his full power, charging into the army of Yin Soldiers with the Black Blade in hand.
Compared to the highly trained, cohesive army from before, the million Yin Soldiers were now like scattered sand, each fighting for itself. Unable to form a War Formation, they posed no real threat to Su Han. Furthermore, with the King’s Remnant Soul gone, the strongest Yin Soldiers remaining were only at the Supreme Realm, giving Su Han even less reason to fear.
The slaughter continued. The Soul Devouring Demon Mist fused with the Black Blade, unleashing invincible Soul Devouring Yin Extinguishing Slashes. They swept across the battlefield, felling swathes of Yin Soldiers like a farmer harvesting wheat. As each Yin Soldier was slain, its Yin Soul was absorbed by the Black Blade, causing the blade’s Aura to grow stronger. Demonic Light flared across its surface, and the Great Majestic Demon King’s voice filled with frenzied excitement.
The sheer number of Yin Soldiers was staggering. Even with Su Han cutting them down like vegetables, it took him three full days and nights to finish the job.
PLOP!
When the last Yin Soldier was slain, Su Han collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath and drenched in sweat. He felt as if every bone in his body had come apart.
So tired!
Three consecutive days and nights of battle, even a one-sided slaughter, was utterly exhausting. Moreover, Su Han had fought a great battle with the King’s Remnant Soul right before this. The fatigue washed over him like a tidal wave.
But his hard work paid off. The Demonic Might on the Black Blade surged, its brilliant light dispelling the dense fog and illuminating the entire area with a clear, piercing brightness.
"The energy is sufficient! I’m going to begin my assault on the second seal!"
The Great Majestic Demon King’s urgent voice rang out. The Black Blade immediately flew into the air and hovered. In an instant, dark golden Demonic Patterns emerged and spread across the space, twinkling like stars. A terrifying Demonic Might erupted from the Black Blade like a volcano. It shook the surrounding space, creating ripples like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
At this moment, the Great Majestic Demon King was assaulting the second seal. Su Han’s task was complete, and all he needed to do was wait quietly.
I wonder how much the Black Blade will be enhanced once the second seal is broken.
Gazing at the Black Blade, which was thick with Demonic Might, Su Han’s heart filled with anticipation. He watched for a while, but since the Great Majestic Demon King was breaking the seal from within, Su Han couldn’t discern any details.
He took out a Spiritual Medicine, circulated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to absorb it, and used its power to recover his depleted Demonic Qi and exhausted stamina.
Half an hour later, Su Han was fully recovered and vigorous once more. He stopped watching the Black Blade break its seal and turned to walk toward the deepest part of the battlefield.
His purpose for coming to the Yuelan Ancient Battlefield was not the million Yin Soldiers. His true goal was the Soul Severing Sword mentioned by the Iron Grinding Saint. Now that the King’s Remnant Soul was dead and the million Yin Soldiers were annihilated, nothing could stand in his way.
The deepest part of the Yuelan Ancient Battlefield lay just beyond where the King’s Remnant Soul had been. Here, the Yin Energy was so dense it was like a viscous paste. An ordinary living being would not survive a single second before their body was invaded by the Yin Energy, causing them to perish and their spirit to scatter.
Even with his Great Accomplished Sacred Body, Su Han felt a deep chill. He activated his Sacred Body with all his might. His golden Qi-Blood roared like a torrential river, and golden light burst through his skin, making him resemble a blazing, inextinguishable golden furnace.
Thus, Su Han pushed onward against the immense pressure, step by step, until he finally reached the location marked by the Iron Grinding Saint.
A Sword Nurturing Formation!
Su Han looked closely and saw countless Formation Patterns carved into the gloomy earth. Although the patterns were eroded by the Yin Energy, appearing dark as dried blood, they still formed an impressive Sword Nurturing Formation.
It seemed the Iron Grinding Saint had indeed invested a great deal of effort. The formation alone was priceless, to say nothing of the Soul Severing Sword within.
Moreover, this Sword Nurturing Formation not only nurtured swords but also integrated attack and defense. Now, nourished by Yin Energy, its power had grown even stronger. An ordinary person, even if they managed to get here, would be blocked by the Sword Nurturing Formation. This was something the Iron Grinding Saint had neglected to mention to Su Han. It seemed he had held something back.
Unfortunately for the saint, he didn’t know that Su Han was not only knowledgeable in formations but was also a top-tier Array Master.
Glyph Secret!
Su Han executed the Glyph Secret, one of the Nine Secrets, using his finger as a brush to begin deciphering the Sword Nurturing Formation. With his powerful mastery of formations, he quickly broke it.
The Formation Patterns opened up layer by layer like a blooming flower, finally revealing a palm-sized spring of blood before him. This blood spring was incredibly concentrated, as if condensed from the blood of a million Yin Soldiers. It contained a terrifying Evil Qi and Yin Energy, and a mere drop would severely injure an ordinary person.
What a treasure!
Su Han’s eyes lit up. This Yin Blood was of the utmost yin and cold, a substance of great filth. If used correctly, it could serve as a powerful trump card. freewēbnoveℓ.com
With this in mind, Su Han activated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art and his Great Accomplished Sacred Body, drawing the Yin Blood from the spring into a Purple Jade vase.
Once the Yin Blood was collected and the spring was empty, a sword hilt appeared before Su Han’s eyes.
The Soul Severing Sword had finally revealed itself.
