Divine Sword "Purple Blood"

Everyone followed Bolan's gaze and looked upward. A huge black circular platform was embedded in the ceiling of the cavern.

The black platform itself was not what surprised them. What astonished them was that the exposed portion of the platform was covered in intricate magical patterns. The countless markings were complex beyond measure. Clearly, a magic array had been inscribed upon this black platform, leaving everyone except Bolan in awe.

Among them, the Spine-backed Iron-armored Dragon Sadius was especially shocked. He had cultivated in this cave for so long—how had he never discovered this magic array?

Bolan knew that this magic array had been carved here by Lord Beirut, the uncrowned king of the Yulan Continent and a Chief Sovereign-level expert. Its purpose was to seal the powerful prisoners within the Gobada Planar Prison and prevent them from escaping. This place was a seal.

At that moment, Bolan spotted a purple longsword embedded in the center of the platform. It was the personal sword of the Seven-star Demon Purple Blood Demon from the Supreme Plane of Hell—a longsword renowned even in Hell.

However, Bolan had no intention of keeping this divine sword for himself. First, this sword had saved his younger brother Linley's life more than once in the original story, and he could not claim it for his own selfish desires. Second, Bolan believed that his two Bloodslayers would one day surpass the divine sword Purple Blood, just as he believed he would certainly surpass the Purple Blood Demon.

Everyone finally recovered from their shock at the intricate magic array, but both the former Saint Magus and Linley were stunned by its terrifying power. They could sense the force contained within it. Once unleashed, it would undoubtedly be earth-shattering.

"What exactly is this mysterious magic array doing here?" Linley murmured.

Bolan did not answer directly. He merely said, "Linley, carefully sense this magic array and that purple longsword."

Linley looked at Bolan and nodded slightly. His state of mind immediately merged with the wind elemental essence as he sensed the aura of the magic array and the purple longsword within it. Closing his eyes, he felt waves of heavy pressure emanating from the mysterious formation on the black platform, making him feel as though he could barely breathe.

A moment later, Linley opened his eyes and said in amazement, "No wonder the elemental density here is nearly a hundred times greater than outside. So this magic array is the source." Without sensing this magic array, Linley would never have found the source.

"Of the seven elemental types here—earth, fire, water, wind, lightning, light, and darkness—the darkness elements are the strongest. No wonder that stupid dragon and that big dumb bear, dark-element magical beasts like them, enjoy staying here!" Bolan added. As he spoke, he glanced at the Spine-backed Iron-armored Dragon, who had been called a stupid dragon. Its draconic face was full of grievance, but no one paid it any attention.

Doering Cowart, standing nearby, heard the brothers' conversation and nodded approvingly. Then he said to them, "Look at the purple longsword in the center. I estimate that sword is even more precious than a Saint-level magicite core."

Linley sensed it for a moment. "What a restrained dark aura. But it does not seem to be on the level of a Saint-level magic crystal core, does it?" Linley asked doubtfully.

Ordinary warriors' weapons were generally very cheap. Only weapons like Bolan's, forged directly from materials unavailable on the Yulan Continent, were much more valuable. After all, the Baruch Clan's heirloom warblade, "Slaughter," had cost only tens of thousands of gold coins to forge!

"That purple longsword was not produced on the Yulan Continent. It probably came from the Supreme Plane of Hell. It is a true divine artifact," Bolan said.

He then explained some matters concerning planes to Linley.

"Go claim that longsword," Bolan said.

Bolan had actually considered for a long time whether to release the people imprisoned in the Gobada Planar Prison. In the end, he decided to let them out. This continent needed an infusion of fresh blood, and Bolan, who was close to becoming a god, would be terribly lonely then. Besides, this was only a small breach; truly powerful experts could not possibly emerge from it. Once Dilin came out, Bolan could even take advantage of the chaos to plunder the Radiant Church. As long as he did not face Dilin head-on, he would be in no danger. Bolan now had that confidence!!!

"How do I claim it?" Linley asked Bolan in confusion.

"Just drip some blood on it and see whether you can claim the sword," Bolan said with a smile.

Linley immediately leaped up from where he stood and let a drop of blood fall onto the sword. The dust-covered purple longsword absorbed Linley's blood like a sponge. With a hum, after absorbing the blood, the purple longsword let out a sword cry and began to tremble.

Seeing this, Bolan thought to himself, It seems the Purple Blood Demon truly died. I wonder how many experts from other planes Beirut slaughtered on the Yulan Continent back then.

"Hurry up, pull out the longsword, then leave this place," Bolan urged.

"Alright."

Linley leaped up again, grabbed the purple longsword, and pulled hard. With a clear clang, the sword rang out, as though it had been sealed away for far too long and was greeting its new master with boundless joy.

Linley flicked the longsword, and it wrapped around his waist in a circle like a belt.

Once Linley landed, Bolan immediately urged, "Go!" He then had Linley take Bebe and the shrunken Spine-backed Iron-armored Dragon away first. After seeing them leave, Bolan noticed the sealing magic array begin to glow. He knew Dilin was about to emerge.

He immediately flew out of the cave as well, heading in the direction Linley had taken out of the valley.

After a long while, a handsome, bewitching young man in a dark golden robe suddenly appeared in the valley, which had been empty of all magical beasts. He held three little kittens in his arms.

"I finally escaped!"
