Chapter 237 - One Sword Covering the Sky, Defying the Heavens! (1)
A total of 40,000 Sword Hearts! From the ancestral bones of the Sword Cultivators, a whirlpool torrent formed, swirling around Yun Xiao's Heaven Burial Sword Soul! He was engulfed by millions of demons, and even the cultivators of the Heavenly Realm had lost sight of him, let alone discern his current state.
But then, a storm, black as night and fierce as a dragon, erupted, grinding countless demons to dust. Sword energy, piercing the heavens, burst forth! Blood and corpses flew, sucked into the voracious maw of Forbidden Fate, creating a void in the midst of chaos.
There, the young man in white became faintly visible. What he held was not so much a sword, but a 300-meter-long, black and azure storm dragon, embodying the strength of 40,000 Sword Hearts, including those of three Sword Saints!
The lifelong cultivation of forty thousand ancestors ignited in that single stroke. Millions of fierce demons surrounded him, but the young man’s face showed no fear, his sword piercing the sky!
Such courage inspired the human warriors at the gates of the Heavenly Realm, their conviction burning as fiercely as Yun Xiao's sword in hand. As long as the sword endured, the man would not fall!
"For the Heavenly Realm! Kill!" A cold, merciless roar echoed from both Yun Xiao and the cultivators of the Heavenly Realm, perfectly in sync!
"This Sword Soul..." Atop the mountain of flesh and blood, the skinless head of the Violet Emperor twisted in a mix of fear and awe. He had never truly faced Yun Xiao, but that one slash had inflicted more damage than expected!
Forbidden Fate never imagined that even him, a creature defying the heavens, could feel so overwhelmed.
HUM! Within the throng of demons, Yun Xiao’s icy gaze locked onto it! With a flick of his three-foot azure blade, it transformed into a three hundred meter long, massive Sovereign Sword, clearly visible to all, be they human or demon!
"No matter what demon you are, Sword Cultivators will always be your master!" Yun Xiao stood atop the massive sword, substituting his hands for feet in a display of unparalleled swordsmanship!
The Sovereign Sword, heavy with the weight of the world, resonated and unleashed a dark azure storm, hurtling towards Forbidden Fate!
BOOM! The impact shook the entire battlefield!
The gigantic sword, roaring like a thousand armies, or perhaps ten thousand dragons, charged straight ahead!
PUFF PUFF PUFF! Along the way, tens of thousands of demons, heedless of their fate, hurled themselves at the colossal Sovereign Sword, only to disintegrate in mid-scream, leaving not even blood or remains behind!
The deadly essence of the Heaven Burial Sword Soul, transcending all life, was displayed in all its gruesome glory.
Constellation Slaying Sword, Starbirth Nebula!
Yun Xiao, standing upon the sword, watched as the universe itself seemed to orbit the blade. Stars twirled, as if the cosmos itself moved for this one sword strike, reversing the celestial order!
Forbidden Fate, a grotesque mountain of flesh, was too massive and unwieldy to dodge.
BOOM! In an instant, the storm-wrapped Sovereign Sword tore through countless demons. Its tip pierced the Forbidden Fate's gargantuan face, bursting out from the back of its skull!
The head of Forbidden Fate exploded, turning into a cloud of bloody mist that enveloped the battlefield. Even chunks of his flesh were quickly incinerated by the dark azure storm of the Heaven Burial Sword Soul!
When Yun Xiao first used the Heaven Burial Sword Soul to absorb the power of the Sword Hearts, the spirits of the Wu Family were also reduced to bones, their flesh obliterated with a single stroke.
"This Sword Cultivator!" The sight sent shivers down the spines of countless demons. The formidable Forbidden Fate, felled by a single blow to the head!
And that wasn't all, a dark azure flame clung to the demon's neck, burning downwards. Wherever the fire touched, the demon's flesh vaporized into blue smoke, leaving nothing, not even a hair!
"This restraint is even more effective than I imagined..." Yun Xiao, soaring on his sword, felt his spirit surge. The sense of helplessness Moon Fairy felt inside the demon's body had been a shock, but now, annihilating Forbidden Fate himself, he regained his composure.
Such was the way of Heaven Burial—absolute death, Forbidden Fate's greatest weakness, not even leaving behind blood or bones!
"But, the power of the 40,000 Sword Hearts is dwindling, and its size is still massive!" Yun Xiao swiftly turned, the Sovereign Sword returning to his palm.
The headless monstrosity, now with multiple mouths screaming in pain, and numerous crimson eyes squeezing out of the crevices in its flesh, gazed at Yun Xiao with savage fury.
"The power you borrowed is running out, you cannot kill me! As long as I refuse to die, I shall exist eternally!" Forbidden Fate, wounded and enraged, his 100 million corpse souls fusing into a chorus of fury, sounded even more unnerving.
Inside him, Moon Fairy wasn't dead, still tearing at his flesh, though not as effectively as Heaven Burial Sword Soul.
BOOM! Seeing Forbidden Fate still alive, the lesser demons attacked the gate of the Heavenly Realm with renewed savagery. The more they died, the more their blood and corpses flowed to Forbidden Fate, regenerating his head.
As long as the war raged, Forbidden Fate would not die! The only silver lining was that, after this scene, part of the demon army grew even more fearful of Forbidden Fate.
"He's out of control!"
"If we let him grow, even if we conquer the Heavenly Realm, it will be of no benefit."
"Do you believe him when he says the Heavenly Realm's Primordial Array is gone?"
The demons were in disarray!
Moon Fairy's words echoed in their minds. But this time, Moon Fairy wasn't deceiving them—it was true!
The stronger the corpse demon became, the less it retained its self-awareness. The grievances of countless corpses formed a new consciousness!
So, the demon army was completely divided, the stronger demons retreating in fear. They wouldn't help the Heavenly Realm, but they dared not continue to fuel Forbidden Fate's immortality with their deaths.
"As soon as Forbidden Fate dies, the demon army will lose its leader, and their will to fight will collapse!" Yun Xiao, the Supreme Marshal, and others knew this well.
An army of 80 million demons was too much to deal with! A frontal assault was hopeless, but if they could undermine the will of the demon army, they could hold out.
The key was Forbidden Fate!
"Let the Mortal Dust Devil Blood rise! The Heaven Burial Sword Soul burns corpses, the Mortal Dust Devil Blood absorbs them. There might be a chance," Blue Star said.
"Come here!" Yun Xiao called towards the gate of the Heavenly Realm. In such a chaotic and violent battlefield, his voice couldn't carry over. But the Mortal Dust Devil Seed in the heart of the War Princess echoed his call, summoning her.
