After listening to Chen Xuan's words, and seeing his unwavering resolve, Houtu was momentarily speechless.
She wondered where Chen Xuan's confidence came from.
After all, she herself was only barely a Quasi-Saint.
Below the level of a Sage, all were ants!
Did a Quasi-Saint truly intend to shake a Sage? To even hold them back?
What would he use to shake them?
A steel bar?
What would he use to hold them back?
His life, perhaps!
Alas!
To Houtu's doubts, Chen Xuan paid no mind, as if he had already read and ignored them.
He raised his hand and summoned back the myriad supreme treasures that had been floating and sinking throughout the vast Primordial Desolation.
Including the Witch-Slaying Sword… that had once taken the lives of millions of Wu clan members at will!
He examined its pitch-black blade, endless Slaughter Qi swirling around it. Within, countless human souls and vengeful spirits let out low roars and mournful cries, their forms terrifying, their resentment reaching the heavens.
This sight, Chen Xuan, having lived two lives, could not stand to see, nor could he tolerate!
"This sword has created boundless sin, slaughtering countless Wu and Human lives. It is most inauspicious. The Demon clan… truly has lost all conscience and humanity!"
A moment later, Chen Xuan lowered his gaze towards the edge of the Wu and Demon battlefield, staring intently at those two Golden Crows, and spoke coldly, filled with criticism.
If looks could kill, those two Golden Crows would have died millions of times over by now!
"Aaaargh—"
"Roar—"
"…"
Perhaps Chen Xuan's words resonated with the billions of vengeful spirits trapped within the Witch-Slaying Sword. Instantly, the ink-black sword body trembled violently, countless spirits surged forth, their immense resentment soaring into the sky, wailing and howling incessantly.
They all gathered around Chen Xuan, like dark clouds covering the sun, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles across the sky. Each one wore an expression of suffering, sorrow, and grievance. Finally, they all knelt before Chen Xuan in unison.
It was as if they were praying, and even more so, begging!
Hoping Chen Xuan would grant them freedom.
Even more desperately, they wished for him to seek justice on their behalf!
"You have been trapped within the Witch-Slaying Sword for far, far too long. When the Six Paths of Reincarnation evolve and the Underworld is established, I will send you to the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn as humans."
"But for now, you must endure hardships and await good news. If you are willing… fight alongside me now, to avenge yourselves, and to avenge the entire Human race, to wash away this shame!"
"From this moment on, there will be no more Witch-Slaying, only Demon-Slaying!"
Chen Xuan's expression was solemn, his voice filled with emotion and earnestness. Every word was laden with compassion and sympathy for the Human race of the Primordial Desolation, and with immense hatred and killing intent towards the Demon clan and the Heavenly Court!
"Zheng—!!!"
The next moment, as his words fell, the ancient black sword trembled wildly. The billions of human vengeful spirits seemed to gain transcendence at this moment, soaring into the sky with fierce determination, as if accepting Chen Xuan's promise.
Then, they all bowed to Chen Xuan in unison, overcome with gratitude!
"Not good! What is that woman Houtu trying to do?!"
"No, stop her quickly!!!"
Gazing at the peak of the chaotic starry sky, where a certain silhouette held the Witch-Slaying Sword, like an empress descending upon heaven and earth, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi felt a sense of great foreboding, their expressions changing drastically in unison.
Instantly.
The Witch-Slaying… no, the Demon-Slaying Sword, suddenly blazed with brilliance, emitting dazzling golden light that instantly illuminated hundreds of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. Its momentum was immense, grand, and utterly shocking.
Following that.
Under the gaze of countless eyes.
Witnessed by all living beings in heaven and earth.
Under the astonishment of all the Sages in the heavens.
The human souls of billions condensed into form at this moment, shining brilliantly. With unparalleled, unyielding will, they actually… condensed into a—
Sword Spirit!!!
Just as Chen Xuan had said.
From this day forward.
There would be no more of the inauspicious, malevolent artifact, the Witch-Slaying Sword.
This is the Witch-Slaying Sword, forged from the souls of countless human ancestors!
And since it's the Demon-Slaying Sword, of course it has to be used for slaying!
Slay! It slays the Demon Clan!
First strike upon landing, slay the Heavenly Court's demons!
"Zheng—"
Under the gaze of countless terrified and horrified eyes.
Chen Xuan raised his hand and swung his sword.
A boundless sword energy swept out, madly charging towards the Demon Clan's formation!
In an instant, it easily tore through hundreds of millions of miles of chaotic star rivers, shattering countless stars, causing the endless star rivers to roll back and hang in the sky, majestic, imposing, and unstoppable!
"Boom!"
"Crash—"
Every inch of space was shattered.
The infinite multiverse space churned with monstrous waves.
With every wave that crashed and subsided, millions of demons were instantly annihilated, and countless Great Luo demon gods were wiped out in a flash!
In the blink of an eye.
More than half of the remaining scattered and dwindling Demon Clan, which was already few in number and barely surviving, was cut down!
Gone, almost completely gone!
This almost completely shattered the Demon Clan's destiny, which was already scattered, ethereal, and as weak as a candle in the wind!
"Waaah!"
With their destiny severed, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi suffered a backlash, both letting out a mouthful of Golden Crow divine blood!
Hot and fresh!
"The Witch-Slaying Sword has turned into the Demon-Slaying Sword!? Hiss—Damn it! So damnable!!"
"Houtu, you truly deserve to die!!!"
The Witch-Slaying Sword being turned against them was originally a great killing weapon of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, but in the blink of an eye, it had become a divine weapon for the enemy Wu clan to attack with. All the Demon Clan's efforts over millions of years were in vain, even becoming a stepping stone for others.
After all, their Demon Clan had slaughtered countless humans, collecting their essence blood and souls to refine the Witch-Slaying Sword. It was hard work, okay!
It took effort, energy, and time!
Therefore, how could the two Golden Crow brothers swallow this insult!?
Of course, they couldn't!
If it were before.
When the Twelve Ancestor Witches were showing off their power with the Dutian God-Demon Array.
They would never have dared to act.
They would have held back their anger and swallowed their pride.
But now...
The Wu clan is not what it used to be!
"Dong dong dong—"
As if on cue, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was the first to explode in rage, summoning the innate supreme treasure, the Chaos Bell. He held the ancient bell, its ancient and melodious chime resounding through the universe. Boundless Sun True Fire burned around him, his golden hair wildly dancing behind his head.
With one step, he shattered space; with another, he created a new world!
Holding the bell, he fiercely charged towards the empress's immortal silhouette, his killing intent surging, his rage sky-high, and his momentum unstoppable!
The Chaos Bell manifested, as if to suppress the primordial chaos and kill all enemies!
The Three-legged Golden Crow displayed its divine might, its Quasi-Saint pressure shaking the chaotic starry sky and aweing all beings in heaven and earth!
Previously, the Dutian God-Demon Array had been so astonishing that all beings in the Primordial Desolation had almost forgotten...
That Eastern Emperor Taiyi was the God of War of the Heavenly Court!
Wielding the innate supreme treasure, the Chaos Bell, his combat power was unparalleled!
Once upon a time, he was recognized as the number one person below the Sage in the Primordial Desolation!
He was the leader of the Demon Clan!
And one of the two top enforcers of the Heavenly Court!
Now, enraged and exploding, almost driven mad, he was truly terrifyingly powerful!
It was too frightening!
"Eastern Emperor Taiyi? The so-called number one below the Sage is merely a mere Quasi-Saint!"
"Don't think that just because the Wu clan has lost the Dutian God-Demon Array, you can rebel against heaven!"
"Today, you feathered Golden Crow, how about you hand over your life to me!!!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi attacked in a frenzy.
Chen Xuan coldly snorted in disdain, completely unfazed.
As the words fell.
He had already made his move!
