Four Swords of Zhuxian

The terrifying sword qi possessed by the Immortal Decimating Sword and Immortal Trapping Sword was enough to make even Saine feel an enormous threat at this moment.

A low dragon roar issued from Candle Dragon.

It seemed this Big Guy had also sensed the threat contained within them.

At this time, aside from the many native creatures of the Blood Sea, Saine also noticed cultivators from many other races and sects within this core region of the Blood Sea.

It seemed the reincarnated body of Master Tongtian had already caused ripples across a broad swath of the Immortal Domain.

These cultivators and Immortal Domain beings had come here upon hearing the news to watch the battle.

And those permitted to enter the very heart of the Blood Sea were, at the very least, Mystic Immortals.

Great Luo Golden Immortal-level powerhouses were even everywhere among them.

Among these cultivators, Saine sensed Duan Ning's aura.

Very soon, Saine also spotted Panda Brewmaster standing beside Duan Ning.

However, all of Duan Ning's attention was focused on where her Brother was at the very center of the Blood Sea.

Even the appearance of Candle Dragon, that Dominator-class dragon beast, failed to distract Duan Ning in the slightest.

Saine could not help looking toward Duan Po again.

The strength of Saine's Sworn Brother was truly outrageous.

Saine could tell that Duan Po had not actually crossed into the Dominator level. At the very least, his Life Realm still remained at the Level-6 Peak.

Yet, bolstered by the three immortal swords behind him, wielding a Firewood Chopping Knife and commanding boundless sword intent, he could unleash terrifying combat power no weaker than that of a late-stage Level-7 creature.

What savage ferocity!

To a certain extent, the power Duan Po was erupting with had already "broken the balance."

At the very least, being able to stand toe-to-toe with the Blood Sea Nether River Old Ancestor here was not something a cultivator who had yet to reach the Dominator Realm should have been capable of.

At this moment, Duan Po, standing within the storm of sword qi, had not noticed the arrival of Saine and the others.

As fierce sword qi swept toward Nether River Old Ancestor,

the latter fully activated his Grade-12 Karma Fire Red Lotus. The Yuantu and Abi swords in Nether River Old Ancestor's hands also continued to display their might.

The equally fierce sword qi left Duan Po's body covered in sword wounds and cuts.

By contrast, with the Grade-12 Karma Fire Red Lotus bolstering him, Nether River Old Ancestor had even remained "uninjured" on the surface!

The Immortal Domain's Civilization Supreme Treasure—the Thirty-Six Grade Chaos Azure Lotus—had transformed into three platforms.

They had respectively split into three High-Level World-Class Secret Treasures: the Grade-12 Karma Fire Red Lotus, the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus, and the Grade-12 Black Lotus of Destruction.

With the Merit Golden Lotus damaged and the Black Lotus of Destruction taken away by some being,

the Grade-12 Karma Fire Red Lotus beneath Nether River Old Ancestor's feet could be called the most perfect defensive supreme treasure at present.

At the very least, in terms of performance, it surpassed the Five Innate Banners. It was also more offensive than treasures such as the Taiji Diagram.

"Looks like you still haven't fully merged with your identity."

"Are you unwilling to accept their power?" At the center of the Blood Sea battlefield, Nether River Old Ancestor, seated upon the lotus platform, spoke to Duan Po before him without even opening his eyes.

Thick blood continuously dripped from all parts of Duan Po's body as he gripped the Firewood Chopping Knife.

All this blood belonged to Duan Po.

At least during the several hundred years he had struggled against Nether River Old Ancestor, Duan Po had indeed never broken through Nether River Old Ancestor's surface defenses.

In terms of strength, Nether River Old Ancestor, also an Level-8 Saint, was indeed far stronger than Daoist Duobao of the Intercept Sect.

Even his equipment was far more impressive than Daoist Duobao's.

But with Duan Po's strength, especially after obtaining three peerless swords, things should not have turned out like this.

The reason for this situation was precisely as Nether River Old Ancestor had judged: Duan Po had not fully accepted the power of the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

He was an Immortal Domain cultivator with an exceptionally strong sense of self.

Although he had already unlocked some memories of his previous life, he seemed unwilling to become a second Master Tongtian.

He could only be himself—Duan Po!

Having drunk its fill of blood, the Firewood Chopping Knife in his hand grew increasingly deep and somber.

After Nether River Old Ancestor sent him flying once more, Duan Po slowly rose to his feet again.

The resilience forged amid the boundless slaughter of the Blood-colored Space, along with the solitary path he had carved out with one man and one blade since his weak beginnings,

made Duan Po unwilling to bow his head to anyone.

The three immortal swords behind him continued closing in on Nether River Old Ancestor along their respective trajectories.

Duan Po himself gripped the Firewood Chopping Knife and charged forward once more!

Fearless, and pressing onward without hesitation!

When Duan Po charged at him once again, feeling the boundless sword intent and determination of the Youth before him,

Nether River Old Ancestor could not help sighing inwardly. The great tribulation is approaching. Dao Ancestor, is this the "one" you left behind for the Immortal Domain?

In truth, Nether River Old Ancestor had long seen that the Four Swords of Zhuxian were the key opportunity Dao Ancestor had left for his third disciple, Master Tongtian, to awaken once again.

Master Tongtian, reincarnated and cultivating anew, did not even need to display any particularly dazzling talent in this life.

He only needed to inherit the Four Swords of Zhuxian step by step and absorb all the power Dao Ancestor had left within them. That would be enough for Master Tongtian's second life to ascend to the peak!

But clearly, Duan Po, the reincarnated body of Master Tongtian, was unwilling to accept the power contained within the Four Swords of Zhuxian for nothing.

He wanted even more to forge his own path, rather than continue along the road of his previous life.

As he met the sword light Duan Po slashed toward him, Nether River Old Ancestor could not help looking behind himself.

Behind Nether River Old Ancestor's Grade-12 Karma Fire Red Lotus, a peerless sword emanating an even more oppressive and tyrannical aura was embedded in a special scarlet crystal ore deposit.

Threads of humming and trembling continuously arose from this crystal ore deposit.

This was the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, sealed by Nether River Old Ancestor with the Blood Sea Power.

It had to be sealed, because ever since Duan Po appeared here, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword had felt the urge to break through the air and leave Nether River Old Ancestor's grasp.

It had sensed that its true master had appeared in the Blood Sea!

And Nether River Old Ancestor needed to draw upon the power of the entire Blood Sea to seal the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.

From this, one could see just how tyrannical the power of this foremost sword among the Four Swords of Zhuxian truly was.

The tense battle at the Saint level made everyone watching the Central Battlefield of the Blood Sea involuntarily tense up.

Saine, accompanied by Icarus and Fumila, suddenly appeared beside Duan Ning.

He startled Duan Ning, but once she recovered, she could not help letting out a long breath.

"Duan Po will succeed. I believe in him," Saine said to Duan Ning.

Duan Ning, holding the Amethyst Gourd, nodded heavily. Inside were all kinds of Pills she had refined in advance for her Brother.

She could even refine Seven Revolutions Golden Pills now.

It was just that her success rate was still not very high.

After comforting Duan Ning, Saine continued watching the battlefield where Duan Po and Nether River Old Ancestor were fighting.

From the perspective of Saine, an alchemist, the highest-grade sword among the Four Swords of Zhuxian on the battlefield before him was undoubtedly the sealed Immortal Slaughtering Sword behind Nether River Old Ancestor.

Second only to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword were the Immortal Decimating Sword and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.

Last was the Immortal Trapping Sword. Its grade was relatively the lowest, but it had still reached the level of a High-Level World-Class Secret Treasure.

Each of the Four Swords of Zhuxian possessed astonishing might.

These were four swords that had completely embarked upon the path of slaughter and attack.

However, what truly drew Saine's gaze at this moment was the Nameless Firewood Chopping Knife in Duan Po's hand.

"This is..." Saine murmured as he looked at the Firewood Chopping Knife in Duan Po's hand, which was gradually beginning to emit a bronze-colored radiance.
