The Evil Demon Breaks the Seal

"When the Zhou Clan bullied the common people and arbitrarily disregarded human life, you didn't step forward to uphold justice. But when others wanted to act as chivalrous heroes and eliminate evil, you came out with the law... Although the law is a tool to protect the interests of the ruling class, you've gone too far. If you can't help the weak and suppress the strong, or punish evil and promote good, what's the use of all your skills?"

The man dressed as a constable, feeling the emptiness in his dantian, exclaimed in fear, "You... you actually crippled my Cultivation Body! I am a disciple of True Person Qingyun of the Crimson Cloud Sect..."

"I have no interest in knowing who you are. You're True Person Qingyun of the Crimson Cloud Sect, right? If you had ten times the guts, come and seek revenge on me. And while you're at it, give me a message: if you don't come, you're a dog."

Si Ming was too lazy to waste time on such a nobody, so he left after saying a few words, leaving behind a ground full of groans and wailing wounded people.

Wan Ziling followed closely behind. She had originally intended to stop others from escaping, but Si Ming acted too quickly, crushing everyone in his path and giving them no chance to talk back. He resolved all the problems in no time, and starting tomorrow, that town will have several hundred more disabled people.

The two traveled thirty miles southwest and met Yuezheng Yao, whom they had arranged to meet. She was on a hillside, gazing up at the night sky.

Si Ming asked doubtfully, "Why are you waiting here? Weren't we supposed to meet in Changde City up ahead?"

Yuezheng Yao turned her head and asked in Anomalies tone, "I always thought that the moon in the Barbarian Continent and the moon in the Sea Continent were the same, but now I find that's not the case. It seems that the saying 'the moon is especially round in foreign countries' is not entirely unfounded."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Sea Continent and Barbarian Continent are in the same vast universe..."

Si Ming suddenly stopped, because he noticed that a blood moon was hanging in the night sky!

He swallowed hard and hurriedly asked Wan Ziling, "I've never really appreciated the moon before. Is the moon in the Barbarian Continent always blood red?"

Wan Ziling said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course such a thing is impossible. It's clearly an anomaly."

Just then, countless colorful meteors fell from the night sky, heading towards the land of the Barbarian Continent.

Chapter 577: The Demon Breaks the Seal

Chongguang Divine Shrine, the place where evil spirits are sealed.

Legend has it that five hundred years ago, a demon ravaged the Barbarian Continent. The major martial arts sects joined forces and, after suffering heavy casualties, finally sealed it away. They built a shrine at the site of the seal to suppress it. In addition, a Lineage surnamed Dan volunteered to become the guardian clan and guard the shrine.

After eight hundred years of reproduction, the Dan clan, which originally had only a few dozen members, has grown into a large clan of thousands and established the Dan Sword Manor. In terms of prestige, it is no less than a first-class sect in the martial arts world. However, because its descendants kept in mind their sealing duties, they did not participate much in the affairs of the martial arts world. Therefore, everyone only knows that the Danjian Manor not only has superb Swordsmanship but also incorporates Technique Method into it. Their self-created Dan Radiance Sword Art is one of the top five Higher Vehicle Swordsmanship in the Eastern Martial World. Apart from this, there is no other information.

However, the once prosperous Dan Sword Manor is now a place littered with corpses and ruins.

"Ferocious Spirit Evil Slash!"

The Suanni Bone Saber slashed horizontally, its violent blade energy forcefully tearing apart the sword formation. The five formation leaders of the sub-formations exchanged glances, then stepped forward to act as shields for the main formation leader, buying him time.

"Flying Rosy Clouds Traverse the Moon!"

Five holy Dan Radiance Sword Qi shot out. Although they had the ability to ward off darkness, the evil was one step ahead of the righteous. Their holiness was shattered by the Vicious Spirit's sword energy, and the five top swordsmen of the martial world exploded and died at the same time.

"Father, Uncle... Beast King Anye, prepare to die!"

Upon witnessing this human tragedy, the young man in the main formation opened his eyes wide in fury, almost bleeding. He gathered the remaining power of the sword formation, and the shrine behind him seemed to be summoned, its holy seal shining brightly, resonating with the Sword Intent on his body. A vast amount of Yuan Power surged into the sword's edge like flowing water, unleashing a fatal strike. In an instant, it seemed to transform into the sun, illuminating the night into day.

"The sun shines brightly, piercing the night's darkness!"

The figure streaking across the night sky formed a golden rainbow bridge. The sharp sword light was unstoppable. The divine sword was like a dragon emerging from the sea. Before the person arrived, the sword light went first, slashing down on the Beast King Anye. The brilliant sword light tore through the night sky. The cold sword edge gathered enough Primal Qi to suppress evil spirits, like an ancient and indestructible seal.

As the sword trembled, the spells integrated into the Swordsmanship Technique Method took effect simultaneously. Countless Sword Qi condensed into phoenixes, dancing in the air like vanguards, taking the lead in attacking the enemy who had wiped out their clan.

The Beast King Anye exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, I didn't expect that the low-key and unknown Dan Sword Manor would have such a master as you. In terms of cultivation, you are no less than Wan Yebai. You are also a rare genius, one in a hundred years. What a pity..."

With a sigh of regret, the Beast King raised his arm and unleashed a powerful slash, the "Nether Saber Ghost Prison"—he was too exhausted to use his ultimate move after just unleashing it.

In an instant, the sky darkened, and both humans and ghosts were filled with fear. The pitch-black blade light surged out like a tide, as if outlining a mysterious and unpredictable ink painting, transforming the surrounding space into Youming realm. The power of heaven and earth was affected by it, pressing down layer upon layer on the swordsman who was as dazzling as a shooting star in the night sky. With a single slash, the sky split open and the earth cracked, and all things were shocked.

The soaring phoenix was the first to be swallowed by the dark blade light, and for a moment the world was plunged back into darkness. Even the moon in the night sky became dim and without light, as if it had been devoured by a celestial dog.

The next moment, a beam of sword light pierced through the darkness, starting at a single point and then rapidly spreading outwards. Waves of invisible energy emanated from this point, radiating beautiful halos and tearing the darkness apart in the blink of an eye.

The young swordsman, his Sword Qi merging into one, charged straight at the Beast King Anye. In the brief moment of close combat, the swords and blades moved like a surging tide and lightning, ever-changing, like a turbulent sea or roaring lava, with dragons and tigers galloping and eagles soaring and fierce. The entire Dan Sword Manor was violently shaken.

After everything calmed down, what remained at the scene were two intersecting figures.

"The Dan Radiance Sword Art is indeed a superb Swordsmanship rarely seen in the world, but unfortunately it lacks the counteracting effect of the Evil-Slaying Sword Art."

The Beast King Anye looked down. His Suanni Bone Saber had been knocked out of his hand, and his chest had been pierced by the opponent's sword. If only this one move was considered, he had undoubtedly lost. The young swordsman who had fused with the power of the shrine's seal had unleashed a cultivation level that was no less than his in that instant.

However, he was an immortal and indestructible King of Monsters, while his opponent was merely a mortal human being.

With a flick of his wrist, he struck the young swordsman squarely on the crown of his head, and blood instantly splattered onto the ground.

"Father, everyone, I'm sorry..."

The young man died on the spot, falling backward into the dust.

The Beast King Anye pulled the sword from his chest, then activated his full Cultivation Body, causing his entire body to surge with Power of Anomalies.

A moment later, he let out a muffled groan, and his body erupted with a series of "poof poof poof" sounds as the remaining Dan Radiance Sword Qi within his body was forced out, and his wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If the same injury were inflicted by the Evil-Slaying Sword Qi, it would take at least ten days to half a month to heal. Even after being struck by the sword, the Beast King Anye might not have the strength to retaliate. It's not that the Dan Radiance Sword Art lacks the ability to ward off evil; after all, it is Swordsmanship used to deal with demons. It can only be said that it is ultimately just Swordsmanship of the mortal world.

"Now they're all dead... Oh, there seem to be some who escaped. Oh well."

The Beast King Anye could sense that there were still living people in the manor. The other party seemed to be trying their best to conceal their aura, but given the difference in their cultivation levels, they couldn't hide it from his perception at all. Moreover, the other party was in a state of intense fear and couldn't control their emotions, making their aura leak out even more obviously.

Fortunately, the Beast King Anye did not come to destroy Dan Sword Manor. He had no interest in eliminating the threat completely, nor did he think it was necessary. He stepped into Chongguang Divine Shrine and saw the altar used for sealing, with a divine weapon stuck in the altar.

"The legendary Moon Demon Clan must be sealed here. I hope they live long enough to not die of old age within these five hundred years, leaving me with nothing."

The Beast King Anye reached out and summoned the bones of the Suanni beast into his palm. He then gathered his inner energy and slashed with his sword.

"The Ferocious Spirit Divine Desolation!"

With a clang, the divine weapon was severed on the spot.
