At this moment, Blood God also turned his head; the boiling Blood Qi within him showed signs of perishing under this sword.
"Is that you?"
This old man was so ordinary, even when he transformed into a Minotaur, he was still unremarkable.
Why could he transform into the image of a demon?
And why could he use the Celestial Human Divine Sword?
Jiang Yu had treated the martial artists of the Celestial race and Earth City as bargaining chips, but this old man had treated Jiang Yu as a bargaining chip, exchanging him for the successful execution of this sword strike.
But it was fortunate.
The opponent was merely a Mortal.
Blood God had no time to think; his body, which he had so painstakingly recovered, was showing signs of disintegration again.
Not only did he fail to force out the God Sword from his chest, but his flesh even writhed, keeping half of the God Sword within his body, and a powerful suction made it impossible to pull out.
Beside him, a bloody shadow descended from the sky, like a malevolent ghost, rushing into Dong Changtian's body like a maggot attached to bone.
The power of the Blood Spirit eroded the God Sword and also invaded Dong Changtian.
His already declining Qi and blood now flowed away at an even faster rate, like a riverbed on the verge of drying up, encountering the scorching heat of the sun.
Dong Changtian grew even older, his appearance withered, his white hair gray and faded like weeds; he was a candle in the wind.
Blood God then spoke:
"It's truly interesting that such a unique existence like you could be born in the Tianhuang Domain this time. It makes me eager to hunt and gives me a bit of appreciation for talent."
"As you can see, if I can make your Qi and blood decay and bring you to the brink of death, then I can also make your Qi and blood abundant, restore you to your Peak, and escape the ravages of time."
"Join my seat, and you can come with me to see the world outside, no longer confined to this small area like a prisoner."
Blood God stared at Dong Changtian and spoke casually, but his actions to corrode the Celestial Human Divine Sword never stopped.
Dong Changtian was indeed on the verge of death, but his eyes remained bright and firm:
"Aren't you also a prisoner?"
"Tsk, you're unmoved, but... it's enough."
Dong Changtian narrowed his eyes.
Puff—
He severed his own wrist, releasing the Celestial Human Divine Sword.
Continuing to hold this sword would only bring his remaining lifespan to an end at any moment, and moreover, with the corrupted God Sword in his hand, its power was no longer sufficient.
So he decisively cut off his right arm.
With his left hand, he drew out the fire poker; this very straight wooden stick now possessed a sharpness comparable to a God Sword.
Unremarkable, like a child swinging a wooden stick to cut grass, without Sword Qi, without sword light, yet it cut through the Void Realm with a posture that pierced through illusions, striking towards Blood God's body.
Blood God gave this sword strike even greater importance than Jiang Yu's.
Countless bloody shadows crawled up from the deep red beneath his feet, and among /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ them, one could even see Han Zhen's face, though at this moment, no one would focus their attention on him.
And Blood God's figure had already disappeared into them, only to reappear a moment later as a blurry face within the writhing bloody shadows.
"What I said just now might not be entirely false."
A rumbling sound, formed by many voices converging, came forth.
To the current Dong Changtian, it didn't matter; it was all the same.
He remained silent, only striking with his sword.
Because he was already dead from old age; it was the unyielding will before death, completing this sword strike with his obsession.
Within the temple, two forces collided.
Scattered Qi and blood, rampant Sword Qi, indistinguishable, scraped the Otherworld three feet deep and swept away the black clouds in the sky.
The sea of blood and the Void Realm shattered simultaneously.
Suddenly, a voice filled with shock and anger came forth.
"It really is you!"
Blood God displayed genuine anger for the first time, an anger tinged with weakness... "Where is this?"
After Dong Er Niu unleashed that sword strike, he felt his consciousness plunge into Chaos, unable to see his hand in front of his face, only emptiness.
This was probably the feeling of death.
After an unknown period, he felt himself drawn by some kind of calling, and light appeared before his eyes.
What met his gaze was a snow-white back mountain, with swords haphazardly stuck into the rock face.
Only on a bluestone without a sword sat an old man, whose appearance was vaguely similar to his, with a wooden sword resting on his lap.
"You've worked hard."
"Hahahaha, only today do I realize that I am me!"
Dong Er Niu burst into laughter and merged into the wooden sword.
The wooden sword, which originally only contained the Dao of the Sword, now gained a spirit at this moment—a sign of its evolution towards a Tianyun Dao Artifact.
"The problem that Su Jun couldn't solve, someone has finally given an answer to."
"And the one who solved it is someone who uses a hammer."
The old man also smiled, looking towards the jiangshan sheji map.
At this moment, in the scene, Jiang Yu's true spirit had already been guided away by the Tianyun Dao Artifact.
This meant his trial had come to an end.
Moreover, not only did he leave, but he also seemed to have left a mess behind.
Three-tenths of the Celestial race who came were dead or wounded.
For example, Leize, who at this moment couldn't even maintain his thunder prison; in this tug-of-war, he ultimately lost to Huang Lie, who was entrenched in the Otherworld.
Huang Lie was also not feeling well, but he was not inherently fiery, and just as he was about to engulf Leize with black flames,
A voice echoed from the sea of blood again:
"Stop."
"Yes."
All the living dead, their continued existence in the world, depended on Blood God, and thus they were absolutely obedient to him.
"As you all saw just now, that Mortal broke through the Void Realm and went to the real world."
"I, too, will break free from my shackles in the near future; you all should return."
"As for this sword..."
A dim stream of light flew out from the sea of blood, heading towards Human City. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
His intention was surprisingly to release these members of the Celestial race.
Not only that, but he even returned the God Sword... to the outside world.
Everyone in Dijin who witnessed this scene had countless question marks popping up in their heads.
"What is this? This strange existence is actually quite kind..."
"Wouldn't eliminating these members of the Celestial race make the chances of Human City surviving the next natural disaster even smaller?"
"That's not necessarily true..."
"I understand, this is to cause internal and external troubles for Human City?"
Among the Jianghu people, there were many who were quick-witted.
Thanks to Jiang Yu, the Celestial race was no longer as detached as they once were, and Blood God had added fuel to the fire by mentioning the outside world.
Now, Human City was without a leader.
Whoever obtained the God Sword would have the opportunity to break through the Void Realm and also become the leader of the Celestial race.
Could those members of the Celestial race still unite as before?
The current Blood God also seemed to have no confidence in taking down Human City, so he simply fanned the flames.
"If Human City falls into civil strife, what should be done?"
"Will Han Xianzi step in to take charge of the situation?"
"The God Sword has been corroded by the Blood Spirit, and its former power is probably gone... The situation has become even more severe."
In Wanchun Court, there were also many people discussing the scene that had just occurred in Human City.
Some were Jianghu people, and some were dignitaries in Dijin, including Song Shangshu and the officials led by him.
"It doesn't matter, Li Shaoxia will take action."
Murong Xiao had always had great confidence in Xiao Li.
At his reminder, everyone came back to their senses.
That's right, Han Xianzi was by Li Shaoxia's side.
At such a critical moment, when the great edifice was about to collapse and the tide was turning, what would he choose to do?
"As everyone knows, Li Shaoxia is a Liqun Sword Hero, and his conduct and character are evident to all."
Song Shangshu nodded in agreement.
The officials naturally echoed his sentiments.
"That's right, Li Shaoxia is a model gentleman, open and aboveboard, dignified and upright."
"With him, the crisis will surely be resolved reasonably."
"At least you said something sensible."
Shang Wu put down her wine gourd and, as Master, proudly said:
"I know my Baby Disciple well; he learned from me, so naturally he is..."
Before she could finish speaking,
In the jiangshan sheji map, Xiao Li, who had received news from the front lines, stood up and looked at the high-ranking officials of Mo City. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
He raised his arm and, with a firm expression, declared:
"The Heavens are dead, Phoenix Heaven shall rise!"
"The Celestial race is unreliable, Earth City is unreliable; we can only rely on ourselves!"
"Are you all willing to join me in achieving great things?"
