Qing Ming Immortal Sword Shocks the World with Its Divine Might; the Heavenly Sect Grand Elder's Panic

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss"

Until the Qing Ming Immortal Sword flew more than twenty miles away,

The piercing whistling sound had only traveled a hundred feet away to reach the cave, demonstrating just how fast the Qing Ming Immortal Sword was flying!

Xiao Xiuyi, the Artifact Refining Prodigy who personally crafted the Qing Ming Immortal Sword, stared intently at the Qing Ming Immortal Sword, which was already close to being an eighth-order Great Demon! Her small mouth was slightly open and her eyes were wide open.

now,

On Flying Fei Long Slope, cleaved in two by the residual force of the Sword Qi,

The smooth, flat crack appeared right next to Xiao Xiuyi's feet!

This crack,

It spread from her feet all the way up.

It spread more than twenty miles away, reaching right in front of those two eighth-tier demons!

The eighth-tier demon, who was originally ferocious and had countless tentacles wrapped around the Seventh Tier Corpse Scorpion, finally sensed the fatal crisis and reacted the moment the Qing Ming Immortal Sword was about to pierce through!

The two Late Eighth Tier Earth Dragon Demon simply threw the Late Seventh Tier Corpse Scorpion aside, no longer bothering to tear apart the two Corpse Scorpion!

at the same time,

On the massive bodies of the two Earth Dragon Demon, which were hundreds of feet long, countless condensed and thick Yao Qi appeared. Their thousands of tentacles were also raised high, facing the terrifying yet dazzling Qing Ming Immortal Sword!

They wanted to rely on the Yao Qi condensed over hundreds of years of cultivation...

They wanted to rely on their tentacles, which could easily pierce through mountains hundreds of feet high,

Block the Azure Nether Qing Ming Immortal Sword that they covet so much, and entangle this immortal artifact that they crave so much!

At this moment, compared to the enormous bodies of the two hundreds-of-foot-long demons, the light and delicate Qing Ming Immortal Sword looked extremely slender, like a hair compared to a whale, seemingly easily blocked by the Yao Qi, and easily grabbed by the tentacles of the great demons!

However,

After only one-twentieth of a breath,

The two powerful demons, wielding thousands of tentacles and stirring up violent air currents, were frozen in place.

The dazzling stream of light transformed from the Qing Ming Immortal Sword pierced through their thick, condensed Yao Qi, which was several feet thick, and through their thousands of tough tentacles, before gliding across their massive bodies!

A series of bright lights, accompanied by the Qing Ming Immortal Sword, circled the two Late Eighth Tier demon beasts once, and then the sword flew back towards Fei Long Slope without stopping!

At this time,

The two Late Eighth Tier demons, with stiff bodies hundreds of feet long and more than ten feet thick, had been split in two. Countless Sword Qi remained on their wounds, constantly ravaging their bodies that had been Sword Qi and refined over time!

As the Qing Ming Immortal Sword flew back to the cave entrance and floated again in front of Lin Xuankong, the bodies of the two Late Eighth Tier demon kings suddenly shattered.

It was as if, in that one-twentieth of a breath, their bodies had been slashed hundreds of thousands, millions of times by the Qing Ming Immortal Sword. Their bodies shattered into countless dust particles, turning into a pile of dust hundreds of feet long and more than ten feet high and wide, which fell to the ground!

The violent currents that had been stirred up by the two great demons using their Demonic Technique have now calmed down!

Calm!

Dust settles!

It seems that those two eighth-tier earth dragon demons have never appeared within twenty miles of Fei Long Slope!

It seems that no earth-shattering battle has just taken place nearby—indeed, the battle was not earth-shattering; the Qing Ming Immortal Sword merely flew in a circle!

However,

Between Fei Long Slope and the pile of dust that the great Demonized,

However, a huge and terrifying crack appeared, stretching nearly twenty-four miles long and tens of feet deep.

This terrifying crack was caused by the Sword Qi power of the Qing Ming Immortal Sword when it flew past. It is the only proof that a streak of light had just swept across the earth, annihilating two late-stage eighth-level earth dragon demons in a fraction of a breath!

"The power of a celestial artifact,"

It's terrifyingly bad!

Moreover, this Qing Ming Immortal Sword is currently only a low-grade immortal artifact, not yet reaching the entry-level grade, and far from its limit. If it were to grow, its power would be immense.

Xiao Xiuyi, who had personally forged the Qing Ming Immortal Sword, stared blankly at the scene before her.

In her heart,

There was pride that arose from forging a terrifying immortal artifact!

There were also moments of thrilling witnessing the fall of an eighth-tier demon and its near-death experience!

Even more so, the fear that arose in their hearts after witnessing the terrifying power of the immortal artifacts firsthand!

A moment later,

A look of surprise gradually appeared on her face as she turned to look at Lin Xuankong beside her.

"Brother Lin, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that you, who were only at the third level of cultivation a few months ago, could actually wield the immortal sword, and that you could nurture it completely in just over twenty breaths!"

Lin Xuankong smiled but remained silent.

Then, with surprise and a hint of eagerness in his eyes, he reached out and touched the blade of the Qing Ming Immortal Sword.

The Azure Sword was drawn.

An eighth-tier demon, killing two in one strike!

If he hadn't done it himself, and if his mind hadn't just connected with the Qing Ming Immortal Sword, he probably wouldn't have believed that there was a weapon in the world capable of unleashing such terrifying power!

After all, in his previous estimation, even if the Qing Ming Immortal Sword could kill an eighth-tier demon, it would still have to fight it in a fierce battle, probably requiring dozens or even hundreds of strikes to kill it. After all, that was an eighth-tier demon that had cultivated for hundreds of years.

Unexpectedly,

Just one sword strike,

The Late Eighth Tier demon, who had cultivated for hundreds of years, was annihilated, his body and soul reduced to dust!

He looked down at the Qing Ming Immortal Sword, gently stroking its blade. "It's a pity that at my current level, I can only activate it for three breaths after each nurturing! Otherwise, with this Qing Ming Immortal Sword in hand, where in the entire Great Xia Dynasty couldn't I, Lin Xuankong, go! However, even three breaths is already extremely terrifying! If I nurture it beforehand, even if dozens of eighth-level demons attacked at the same time, they would be powerless against the Qing Ming Immortal Sword!"

and,

This is only the initial stage of the Qing Ming Immortal Sword's power.

If it absorbs enough Demonic Pearl, Crystal of Geng Metal, and Crystal of Departing Fire and gradually grows stronger, its power will probably increase many times over! Right now, it can destroy mountains and cities with a single blow; if it grows stronger...

Lin Xuankong was inwardly amazed, gripped the hilt of his sword, and looked at Xiao Xiuyi.

"This Qing Ming Immortal Sword is truly an unparalleled weapon beyond my imagination. If it weren't for Miss Xiao's help, I probably would never have been able to obtain such a terrifying, evolving immortal artifact in my lifetime! Miss Xiao helped me obtain this Lin Xuankong artifact, and I will remember this kindness in my heart. In the future, if Miss Xiao needs any help, you can tell me, and I will do my best without hesitation!"

Seeing his sincere expression, Xiao Xiuyi couldn't help but smile. "Brother Lin, you must keep these words in mind! In the future, with the immortal sword in your hand, once your cultivation level improves, you will surely be able to roam the world freely. At that time, I might really need to ask you to do something!"

Lin Xuankong smiled and nodded, "Not just one, but ten would be fine!"

He looked down at the Qing Ming Immortal Sword in his hand. "I just used the sword, and it took me about a breath to activate it. I still have two breaths left. With those two breaths, I'm already thinking of taking the Qing Ming Immortal Sword to the Monster Sealing Mountain Range to kill a few powerful demons and have some fun!"

"Unfortunately, the appearance of such an extraordinary immortal artifact will inevitably cause countless disputes and attract countless covetous eyes. After all, who wouldn't want to possess such a terrifyingly powerful immortal artifact! Before I truly grow stronger, the fact that this immortal sword is in my hands must be kept secret. Now, it's time for the two of us to leave!" A glint flashed in his eyes as he looked into the distance. "In another thirty or forty breaths at most, this place will probably be filled with cultivators from all over Great Marsh Prefecture!"

Xiao Xiuyi frowned slightly.

"Then I'll pack up the important items in the cave, and then leave with Brother Lin!"

After speaking, a hint of reluctance appeared in her eyes as she looked at the beautiful scenery surrounding Fei Long Slope. "I've lived here for several years and have long since grown accustomed to it. I've even developed a fondness for every blade of grass, every tree, every mountain, and every stream. It's a little hard to leave all of a sudden!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong's heart stirred, and a smile appeared on his face. "If Miss Xiao likes the scenery here, I do have a place for you. Once we get there, I can recreate the scenery here for Miss Xiao! Furthermore, Miss Xiao arrive at that place, you can absolutely focus on your cultivation techniques. There will be no demons to disturb you, and no random cultivators to bother you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiuyi, who was packing her belongings, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Is there any place in this world that is so quiet? Not even the Demon Race has one?"

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly.

He then stroked the longsword in his hand, his gaze fixed on the distant Monster Sealing Mountain Range.

In the Monster Sealing Mountain Range, there are veins of thick earth and Geng Metal Ore Vein, containing both Thick Earth Spirit Material and Metal Spirit Material. If I could obtain one of each, there would be no obstacle to advancing to the seventh or eighth level! These two spiritual objects are of paramount importance to me!

There are hundreds of thousands, even millions, of suffering people there who are abused and treated as food. If we rescue them and let them plant and care for spiritual herbs in the secret realm, then our source of True Qi will increase more and more in the future!

There are also countless demons there, probably more than 100,000 second, Third Order, fourth, fifth and even stronger demons. They are all resources of demon flesh, but they are also powerful and terrifying opponents. After all, the various demons' demonic Demonic Technique are extremely strange, and they should not be underestimated!

However, now that I have the Qing Ming Immortal Sword in my hand, as long as I'm a little cautious and wait until the Third Princess is engaged in a fierce battle with the demons of Fengyao Mountain, drawing the attention of those powerful demons, then I can strike with a swift and decisive blow. That should be no problem, right?

After several dozen breaths,

Above the spot where the two eighth-tier demons had fallen, figures flew in; it was none other than the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er and her companions who had rushed over.

Xiao Ying'er Ouyang Qinglan, leading the way, landed near the piles of dust that the eighth-tier great Demonized.

The Grand Elder of the Xuanzong Heavenly Sect, who was at the eighth level of perfection, carefully examined the countless dust particles on the ground, then glanced at the huge crack that stretched for twenty-four miles. His face showed astonishment, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

The Third Princess, Xiao Ying'er, examined the long, thin pile of dust closely. With a look of surprise and uncertainty, she said, "There is still some residual demonic Yao Qi in this dust. The degree of condensation of the Yao Qi is so strong. Those who died here and turned into dust must have been at least seventh-level demons!"

Ouyang Qinglan shook her head slightly, but the astonishment on her face never faded.

" Third Princess, the Yao Qi on this remaining dust is indeed extremely condensed, but it's not from a seventh-level demon. According to my senses, this should be the residual Yao Qi of a late-stage eighth-level demon after its fall. Moreover, judging from the shape of the dust, these are probably two late-stage eighth-level Earth Dragon Demon!"

Xiao Ying'er was full of surprise, "A late-stage eighth-level Earth Dragon Demon? The Earth Dragon Demon's recovery ability is no less than that of the Swamp Python, and may even be stronger! The Swamp Python needs to be near a water source, but the Earth Dragon Demon can transform soil into Yao Qi to quickly heal its injuries!"

To be able to slay two late-stage eighth-level Earth Dragon Demon, one would normally need to be a mid-stage ninth-level cultivator or even stronger!

The cultivators who were constantly arriving from the surrounding area, upon hearing the conversation between Ouyang Qinglan and the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er, and then looking at the dust on the ground and the enormous crack in the ground, all showed expressions of astonishment.

In fact, quite a few cultivators showed signs of panic on their faces!

Among the cultivators present, even the strongest ones were at most at the late stage of the eighth level. None of them could possibly be a match for the late stage of the eighth level Earth Dragon Demon Earth Dragon Demon, let alone defeat it!

Ouyang Qinglan spoke with a look of apprehension, "Slaying two Late Eighth Tier demons and carving a massive 24-mile-long fissure in the ground! This terrifying power could only be created by that newly appeared immortal artifact. If it weren't for the immortal artifact, even I wouldn't be a match for two Late Eighth Tier Earth Dragon Demon, let alone be able to create such a terrifying fissure in the earth! But the immortal artifact has just appeared; how could it be activated so immediately?"

Han Li, carrying a long sword, carefully examined the cracks in the ground that were tens of feet deep.

"A celestial artifact? The power of a celestial artifact is terrifying to this extent!"

"If I, at the early stage of the eighth level, were to try and cut such a terrifying crack, it would probably take me several days and thousands or tens of thousands of strikes!"

General Yang Luochen squatted on the ground, carefully observed the crack for a while, and then decisively shook his head.

"The problem is, judging from the shape of this crack, this terrifying crack, which is twenty-four miles long, was definitely not created by thousands or tens of thousands of strikes; it was formed by a single blow!"

"A single strike? The power of that single strike?" A seventh-level expert in the crowd exclaimed in a low voice.

Another seventh-level expert stared at the crack as if he were looking at something extremely terrifying. "With a single strike, it unleashed such terrifying power? Truly worthy of being called an astonishingly powerful immortal artifact!"

General Wang Linghui of the Yu King's Mansion had a constantly changing expression. "But if someone really activated the immortal artifact, cleaved this rift, and killed the great demon, wouldn't that mean that the immortal artifact that illuminates the heavens and earth has already been possessed by someone? Who on earth has such astonishing luck to control such a terrifying immortal artifact!"

Listening to the crowd's discussion,

Ouyang Qinglan suddenly realized something. She looked up towards Fei Long Slope, her expression tensing again. This dignified Grand Elder of the Heavenly Sect now had eyes full of awe. Her voice was heavy, "It's not just a matter of great fortune. From the time the immortal artifact appeared until now, only a little over half a cup of tea's time has passed! The strength of the expert who can nurture an immortal artifact in such a short time and unleash a terrifying attack from it must be extremely powerful! Even experts at the late stage and peak of the ninth level could not nurture an immortal artifact this quickly!"

The Third Princess Xiao Ying'er's pretty face shifted with emotion. "Elder Ouyang, do you mean immortals?"

Ouyang Qinglan shook her head and said, "I'm not sure either! But this crack has obviously just appeared. That powerful figure might be on Fei Long Slope, where the crack begins!"

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er turned to look at Fei Long Slope, a hint of anticipation in her eyes, "Shall we go and meet that powerful figure?"
