Chapter 1420: Do Not Let Ghosts and Gods Disturb the Mortal Realm (Third Update)
Before the five of them, dazzling bloodlight filled their vision everywhere. The full power of the Ancestral Court’s God-Beheading Platform erupted, and loud, chaotic sounds of slaughter rang in their ears, as if billions of beings were fighting and killing.
The bloodlight before their eyes transformed into countless figures—Creators, ancient gods—all fighting for their lives in a sea of blood, with corpses piling up into mountains within that bloody ocean!
It was a scene like hell itself!
This was killing intent, blood-killing intent!
It was the terrifying killing intent formed by the convergence of all living beings’ desire to slaughter, the gathering of murderous will, and the coalescence of the blood and energy of the dead after killing!
Their eyes could no longer see the two divine blades condensed from killing intent, as if they were struggling against the endless desire for slaughter accumulated over eons. The intense killing intent eroded their Dao hearts, filling their inner selves with the urge to kill.
“Hold fast to your Dao hearts! Don’t be influenced by the blood-killing intent!”
The Butcher shouted loudly: “If you’re affected by the blood-killing intent, you’ll easily be assimilated by it and become part of the God-Beheading Platform!”
The moment his words fell, Zhe Huali suddenly exploded. His boundless blood and energy surged out from within his body, transforming into blood-killing intent, which then became a vicious blood-killing dragon. It slithered with a rushing sound and attacked the group!
The Butcher was startled, realizing that although Zhe Huali had been tempering his blade Dao will alongside them, his cultivation was still shallow, his Dao heart unstable. He had been assimilated by the blood-killing intent and died a violent death!
With Zhe Huali dead, Luo Wushuang was immediately overcome with grief. He loved this disciple the most, and even though he had expelled Zhe Huali from the sect, in his heart he still regarded him as his most cherished student.
Now, his grief turned into anger, and his anger turned into killing intent. He furiously drew his blade, and as the blade light slashed toward the two vicious blood-killing dragons, his physical body suddenly exploded, dissolving into blood-killing energy. His entire being melted into blood, transforming into a vicious dragon that shook its head and tail and charged out!
The Butcher’s heart turned icy cold. Suddenly, his eyes became blood-red, then faded into darkness. He realized that in his moment of Dao heart instability, the blood-killing intent had invaded him, slashing his eyes blind!
Unfazed by the crisis, he used his blade light to protect himself on all sides, left and right. Just then, he heard the furious roar of Heavenly King Tian Shu, followed by the sound of skin splitting open.
The Butcher’s heart sank. Though he could no longer see, he had already “seen” the scene of Heavenly King Tian Shu’s physical body exploding, his blood and energy turning into blood-killing intent.
“This God-Beheading Platform is a hundred times more terrifying than the five of us imagined!”
Heavenly King Tian Shu was the only one among them who had cultivated to the Emperor Throne realm. Although he had only reached that level a few years ago, his cultivation and power were profound, and his mastery over demonic nature was extremely deep—otherwise, he could never have become the mortal enemy of the Yin Emperor.
Blood-killing intent also contained demonic nature, but the demonic nature of the blood-killing intent crushed Tian Shu’s own demonic nature, causing his desires to grow wildly and thus destroying his Dao heart!
This blood-killing intent was far too powerful!
“I must not let Mu’er be harmed.”
When this thought arose in the Butcher’s heart, the desire to protect burst forth from his Dao heart. Throughout history, countless people had wanted to protect their loved ones and companions, and their killing intent had also gathered here.
The moment the Butcher had this thought, this killing intent invaded his body. He immediately felt his Dao heart shatter amidst the killing intent, and his body and primordial spirit were controlled by it, collapsing and disintegrating.
“Mu’er, run!” Before his physical body exploded and turned into a blood dragon, he roared at Qin Mu.
Weng—
Qin Mu’s divine realm domain rotated. The Butcher, Heavenly King Tian Shu, Luo Wushuang, and Zhe Huali woke up one after another, and time seemed to return to the moment before they were slain by the two blood-killing divine blades.
The four were still shaken, and the blood-killing energy within them was still stirring restlessly.
The two vicious blood-killing dragons charged again. Qin Mu shouted loudly: “Refine the killing intent! Unify the Dao realm! Slash!”
The Butcher, Zhe Huali, Heavenly King Tian Shu, and Luo Wushuang swung their blades. Their essence, energy, and spirit converged, their Dao realms overlapped, and they slashed down!
Dang—
On the God-Beheading Platform, three astonishing blade lights burst forth, then shattered, sweeping in all directions. They turned into countless blade rains, centered on the God-Beheading Platform, sweeping everything!
Countless blade lights clashed in the air with a clanging sound, breaking apart into even finer blade lights. They spread outward at extreme speed, forming a terrifying storm of blade light!
Soon, this blade light storm struck the palace of Imperial Consort Qiang below. Even Heavenly King Tian Shu had found it difficult to enter this palace, as the door was sealed by Imperial Consort Qiang’s restrictions. However, under the ravages of this storm, the entire palace became stained with blood in the blade light. The blood-killing intent invaded Imperial Consort Qiang’s seals, riddling the palace with holes!
Imperial Consort Qiang’s restrictions erupted. Even though they were a Celestial Venerable’s seals, countless flying blades clashed within them, weakening their power.
A thousand miles away, Fang Ziyan looked up and saw the blade light storm sweeping toward her. She forcibly suppressed her injuries and leaped into the air, but the next moment, she was caught in the storm.
Within the storm, Fang Ziyan tumbled and rolled. Her celestial palace was riddled with holes in an instant, and her physical body was covered in wounds.
Fortunately, her life force was strong. She forced her way through the storm and fled into the distance, staggering through the air, both shocked and furious: “These five lunatics are trying to get themselves killed!”
Suddenly, from over a thousand miles away, an immensely grand voice rang out: “Dao realm opens the heavens, the void harbors the Dao!”
Fang Ziyan quickly turned to look. She saw that on the majestic God-Beheading Platform, twenty-five layers of void had opened. The blade Dao enshrined within those twenty-five layers of void burst forth from the emptiness, connecting with the blades of Qin Mu and the other four!
The blade Dao within those twenty-five layers of void spun wildly, merging with the blades in Qin Mu and the others’ hands, coalescing into a single long blade—stunning and unparalleled—that collided with the two vicious blood-killing dragons with a thunderous impact!
“Battle technique convergence?”
Just as this thought crossed Fang Ziyan’s mind, an extremely bright blade light reached her eyes. Her vision went completely black, and two streams of black blood flowed from her eyes. Startled, she was then swept up by the howling blade light storm.
“Blade opens the moon ring!”
“Seeking the Dao, slashing the blue sky!”
“But with a single glance of the long blade, do not let ghosts and gods disturb the mortal realm!”
…
Within the storm, Fang Ziyan heard one bold and unrestrained shout after another, like warriors wielding blades, fighting between heaven and earth.
She did her utmost to protect herself within the storm, fleeing far away, her heart filled with fear and unease: “Madmen! A bunch of reckless madmen!”
On the God-Beheading Platform, blade light clashed again and again. Suddenly, Fang Ziyan felt an immensely powerful tremor. She immediately sent her primordial spirit out of her body and used it to look. She saw the God-Beheading Platform become extremely bright—an omen caused by the activation of the platform’s Dao!
In the sky, the two vicious blood-killing dragons crossed their necks and snipped downward, shattering the twenty-five layers of void, erasing all imprints. The five figures on the God-Beheading Platform vanished into nothingness amidst the bloodlight!
“Even Mu Celestial Venerable is dead?”
Fang Ziyan was shocked, thinking to herself: “If the Imperial Consort learns of this, she will probably be worried to death. After all, Mu Celestial Venerable is the leader of the Heavenly Alliance. If he dies here…”
She did not know that if Imperial Consort Qiang heard the news of Qin Mu’s death, she would be overjoyed beyond measure, dancing and celebrating.
However, before this thought could fade from Fang Ziyan’s mind, she saw the light on the God-Beheading Platform shift. Qin Mu and the others restored themselves from their destroyed state as if nothing had happened.
Fang Ziyan was dumbfounded. Only then did she recall that Imperial Consort Qiang had once flown into a rage and cursed some scoundrel. When Fang Ziyan asked who the scoundrel was, the Imperial Consort said it was Mu Celestial Venerable.
At the time, Fang Ziyan did not understand why the Imperial Consort would call Mu Celestial Venerable a scoundrel, but seeing the scene on the God-Beheading Platform, she finally understood what “scoundrel” meant.
