Chapter 369: Demon Sword
In the Snow Moon Kingdom, if anyone knew the Nine Dragon Mountain Range best, it would undoubtedly be the Yue Clan.
The Yue Clan truly knew why the Nine Dragon Mountain Range was named as such. This was a sealed history of their clan.
Some rumors said that the nine sword peaks opposite the Sword Viewing Peak were formed when an immensely powerful sword cultivator practiced his sword art, causing the mountain range to collapse. The heaven-destroying sword intent turned the collapsed mountains into nine peaks, which became the nine sword peaks.
Other rumors claimed that the nine sword peaks were created when a supreme sword cultivator cultivated his sword techniques there, splitting a complete mountain range into nine parts, forming the nine sword peaks.
But only the true core members of the Yue Clan knew the truth behind the formation of the nine sword peaks. It was because their clan's ancestor had once fought a great battle with a sword cultivator. The ancestor suppressed him with supreme divine abilities. In the end, that sword cultivator, enraged, burned his soul power, sacrificing himself and offering his body to the sword, creating a demon sword. He severely wounded the Yue Clan ancestor and slaughtered countless people.
Ultimately, the Yue Clan ancestor joined forces with another peerless expert. Using immense power, they suppressed the demon sword. After a desperate struggle, they split the living demon sword into nine parts and sealed them within the Nine Dragon Mountain Range.
That was the origin of the current nine sword peaks. Since then, the Yue Clan had lived for generations in the forest a hundred miles away from the nine sword peaks. Only the highest-ranking members of the Yue Clan knew this.
In the distance, dark clouds swirled in the sky, demonic clouds rolling as if heaven and earth were about to collapse. Seeing this, the white-haired old man let out a sigh.
He could no longer remember how many years the demon sword had been sealed, but now it was about to emerge again. He didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse.
Moreover, in the Snow Moon Kingdom, someone had actually managed to stir the demon sword, causing it to resonate and tear apart the seal.
Only those who had touched that level of realm could use a sword to make the demon sword resonate. He didn't know who this person was, but to have already reached that level of sword dao, even if they had only just touched it, their talent in the sword must be terrifying.
"Forget it. Why worry so much? The seal breaking might not be a bad thing."
The white-haired old man looked at the rolling demonic clouds in the distance, his sharp eyes gradually calming down. He wouldn't bother anymore. Everything would take its natural course.
At this moment, the nine peaks trembled more and more violently. In the sky, black demonic clouds shrouded the heavens, blocking the sunlight. The world grew dim. An incredibly terrifying oppressive aura enveloped everything. Magical beasts prostrated themselves. Even Feng Ting and the others fell to the ground, sweat constantly seeping from their foreheads and faces. They sat limply on the ground.
These people naturally didn't have the insight of the white-haired old man. At this moment, they had no idea what was happening. They only felt as if the sky was about to collapse. It was too terrifying.
That oppressive sword intent made their hearts tremble violently. They didn't dare move at all, as if even the slightest movement would cause them to be obliterated by the sword of heaven and earth.
At this moment, Lin Feng also woke up from his state of enlightenment. Standing at the summit of Sword Viewing Peak, he stared in shock at the dramatic changes in heaven and earth.
He had never imagined that by sinking into the enlightenment of the sword, he would wake up to find heaven and earth so terrifying. Like everyone else within a hundred miles, Lin Feng felt an incredibly powerful oppressive aura. Moreover, standing at the peak of Sword Viewing Peak, the demonic clouds were right above him. The oppressive aura he endured was the strongest.
"What's happening?" Sweat flowed down Lin Feng's cheeks. He murmured to himself, his gaze shifting between the sky and the constantly trembling nine sword peaks. Rumbling sounds continuously vibrated in his eardrums. The nine sword peaks were slowly cracking apart.
At the same time, above the nine sword peaks, within the rolling demonic clouds, a phantom sword—a dark demon sword—began to take shape.
"Such terrifying power, such intense demonic intent."
Lin Feng's eyes locked tightly. Standing beneath the demonic clouds, he could clearly feel the unwillingness, anger, humiliation, and various other emotions in heaven and earth. These emotions transformed into swords, giving birth to demonic nature.
"Boom, crack..."
Mountains crumbled, heaven and earth trembled. Lin Feng's eyes shook violently. Before him, the nine sword peaks all split apart and collapsed. Enormous boulders rolled through the air, producing sounds of wind and thunder. Some boulders were directly torn apart, turning into powder.
Swords! They were actually swords!
Lin Feng's heart trembled wildly. The nine sword peaks had shattered, and what appeared before him were nine swords—giant swords reaching the sky. Pitch-black, terrifying demon swords stood silently embedded in the ground. But the heaven-destroying demonic intent they exuded was so shocking and awe-inspiring.
Not only Lin Feng, but everyone within a hundred miles was stunned into stillness.
In the Snow Moon Kingdom, many people knew that on Sword Viewing Peak, observing the nine sword peaks could help one comprehend the sword dao and enhance a sword cultivator's strength. Everyone marveled at the peculiarity of the nine sword peaks, which contained sword dao will. But no one knew that the nine sword peaks themselves were actually nine swords—incomparably terrifying demon swords.
At this moment, a burst of annihilating sword light radiated from the nine giant swords. Space fell silent. The nine swords trembled violently, emitting whistling sword cries. The demonic clouds in the sky rolled even more fiercely.
"Boom!"
The demon swords shot up into the sky. All nine swords shrank to the size of ordinary swords, whistling through the air. Then, Lin Feng felt a terrifyingly extreme sword aura lock onto him, causing his entire body to tremble violently.
Lin Feng had a feeling—these swords seemed to have their own lives, gazing at him.
Dark light flashed. The nine swords fell like shooting stars, shooting toward Lin Feng. Lin Feng was completely stunned. How could this be? Why had these nine demon swords come directly to him?
How could he resist such terrifying swords?
He couldn't resist. The demon swords were too fast, unbelievably fast. In an instant, under Lin Feng's despairing gaze, the demon swords pierced him directly. Rumbling sounds continuously entered his ears. Then, Lin Feng felt everything go pitch black. At the summit of Sword Viewing Peak, a deep hole appeared. Lin Feng and the swords had all vanished, plunging into the interior of Sword Viewing Peak.
In the darkness, there was not a trace of light. But at this moment, Lin Feng felt extremely clear-headed, clearer than ever before.
"I'm not dead?"
Lin Feng stared blankly. He reached out and touched the stone wall. It was cold to the touch.
Not dead. His senses were very clear. He, Lin Feng, was still alive and well. But those nine swords... At this moment, Lin Feng could clearly feel the nine swords inside his body, within his very being. It seemed that with just a thought, he could summon the swords. It felt as if the swords and he had merged into one.
"How could this be?"
Lin Feng felt as if he were dreaming. He had heard Wen Aoxue talk about Sword Viewing Peak. He had come here to cultivate, to comprehend the sword, to observe sunrise and sunset. Influenced by the nine sword peaks, he had comprehended the swords of dawn, light, and dusk, entering a state of enlightenment. In his mind, there was only the sword. But when he woke up, he saw heaven and earth change dramatically. The nine sword peaks split apart, turning into nine swords that merged into his body. Everything was too dreamlike, making Lin Feng feel unreal.
But all of this had actually happened.
The demon sword had been sealed for a thousand years. The seal had long weakened, but the demon sword had remained dormant, never breaking the seal. Today, Lin Feng comprehended the sword, cultivating the sword dao he had learned from observing sunrise and sunset. This caused the demon sword to resonate, breaking the seal and rushing into his body, merging with him.
"Hmm?"
Just then, Lin Feng's brows furrowed tightly. The demon sword inside his body seemed to want to devour his soul power.
Lin Feng concentrated his mind, guarding his soul tightly. He let the demon sword remain empty within his body, cutting off its connection to his soul. Sure enough, after doing this, Lin Feng felt the demon sword calm down. All nine swords fell silent. It was very mysterious.
This demon sword was no ordinary sword. They all seemed to possess their own lives.
"I need to find a place to test the demon sword."
Lin Feng thought to himself. But for now, he couldn't stay inside this mountain forever.
With a thought, sword intent surged from Lin Feng's body. His entire being seemed to transform into a sword. Instead of heading upward, he sped sideways.
Faint hissing sounds continuously emerged. Sword qi broke through the stone walls. Lin Feng's body moved forward through the interior of the mountain.
Before long, Lin Feng emerged from the stone wall. The demonic clouds in the sky had already disappeared. The terrifying oppressive sword aura was also gone. The nine sword peaks now seemed empty. But what made Lin Feng's gaze freeze was that where the nine sword peaks had been, after the swords vanished, a terrifying surge of heaven and earth origin energy was now emanating.
PS: 30 flowers? That's very disheartening. Today, I'll still make up for the owed chapter. There will be four chapters. I'll continue working from dawn till dusk, putting all my time and effort into it. I beg for flowers.
