After hearing Chen Xuan's words, and seeing how firm and resolute his attitude was,
Houtu did not know what to say for a moment.
Where did Senior Chen Xuan get such confidence?
One had to know.
Even she was merely a Quasi-Saint.
Below the Sages, all were ants!
Did a Quasi-Saint actually dream of shaking the Sages? And holding them back?
What would he use to shake them?
A steel bar?
What would he use to hold them back?
His life?
Alas!
Faced with Houtu's doubts,
Chen Xuan simply left her on read.
With a wave of his hand, he recalled the many treasures that had been drifting endlessly through the great age of the Primordial World.
That included the sword... the Witch-Slaying Sword, which had once taken the lives of millions of Witch Clan beings!
He examined its pitch-black blade. Endless Slaughter Qi coiled around it, while within it, countless wronged souls and dead spirits of the Human Clan wailed, screamed, and howled in agony. Their faces were twisted with terror, and their resentment reached the heavens.
As someone who had lived two lives, this was precisely the sort of thing Chen Xuan could neither bear to watch nor tolerate.
"This sword has caused boundless slaughter, massacring countless Witch Clan and Human Clan lives. It is exceedingly inauspicious. The Demon Clan... truly has no conscience, no humanity!"
After a moment, Chen Xuan lowered his gaze toward the edge of the Witch-Demon battlefield and stared coldly at the two Golden Crows, his voice filled with condemnation.
If looks could kill, those two Golden Crows would have died millions upon millions of times already!
"Ahhh—"
"Roar, hiss~"
"..."
Perhaps Chen Xuan's words had resonated with the billions of wronged souls within the Witch-Slaying Sword. In an instant, the ink-black sword trembled violently. Countless dead spirits howled into being, immense resentment soaring into the sky amid unceasing ghostly cries and mournful wails.
They all gathered around Chen Xuan like dark clouds blotting out the sky, covering hundreds of millions of miles of heaven. One after another, their faces bore suffering, grievance, and resentment. In the end, they all knelt before Chen Xuan.
They seemed to be pleading, even begging!
They hoped Chen Xuan would grant them freedom.
Even more, they yearned for him to seek justice for them!
"You have been trapped within the Witch-Slaying Sword for far too long. When the Six Paths of Reincarnation are formed and the Netherworld is established someday, I will send you there to be reborn and reincarnate as humans once more."
"But for now, you must endure a while longer and await good news. If you are willing... fight beside me now. For yourselves, for the entire Human Clan, reclaim this blood debt and wash away your former humiliation!"
"From this moment onward, there will no longer be a Witch-Slaying Sword in this world. There will only be a Demon-Slaying Sword!"
Chen Xuan's expression hardened slightly. His words were heartfelt and earnest, every sentence filled with compassion and pity for the Human Clan of the Primordial World, as well as towering hatred and killing intent toward the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court!
Clang—!!!
The next moment, as his words fell, the black ancient sword shook violently. The billions of wronged souls of the Human Clan seemed to receive salvation at that instant. They shot fearlessly into the sky, as if accepting Chen Xuan's promise.
Then they all knelt and bowed to Chen Xuan, endlessly overwhelmed with gratitude!
"Not good! What is that bitch Houtu trying to do?!"
"No, stop her!!!"
Looking toward the peak of the chaotic starry sky, where that graceful figure held the Witch-Slaying Sword like a peerless empress reigning over heaven and earth, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi both sensed that something was terribly wrong. Their expressions changed drastically in unison.
In an instant.
The Witch-Slaying... no, the Demon-Slaying Sword suddenly shone brilliantly, erupting with blazing golden light that illuminated countless miles of mountains and rivers in the blink of an eye. Its momentum was vast, magnificent, and utterly shocking.
Immediately after.
Under the gazes of countless beings.
Before the witness of all living creatures between heaven and earth.
Amid the horror of the Sages of the heavens.
The billions of heroic souls of the Human Clan gathered into form at that moment, radiating dazzling light. With their supreme, unyielding will, they actually... condensed a—
Sword spirit!!!
Just as Chen Xuan had said.
From this day onward.
There would no longer be an ominous and vicious Witch-Slaying Sword in this world.
There would only be the Demon-Slaying Sword—condensed from the heroic souls of countless Human Clan ancestors!
Since it was called the Demon-Slaying Sword, naturally it had to slay some demons!
Slay! It would slay the Demon Clan!
The first sword after coming ashore would cut down the Heavenly Court's Demon Clan!
Clang—
Under countless terrified gazes.
Chen Xuan raised his hand and swung his sword.
Boundless sword radiance descended, crazily sweeping toward the Demon Clan's ranks!
In an instant, it easily tore through endless stretches of the chaotic star river, overturning and shattering countless stars. Infinite star rivers flowed backward and hung across the heavens, vast and mighty, fierce and unstoppable!
Boom!
Crash—
Space shattered inch by inch.
Towering waves rose across endless multiversal space.
With every wave rising and falling, millions of Demon Clan members were instantly annihilated, while countless Great Luo Demon Gods were destroyed in moments!
In the blink of an eye.
More than half of the scattered remnants of the Demon Clan, who had already been barely clinging to life, had been cut down!
There was almost nothing left, not even a drop!
Thus, the Demon Clan's fortune, already scattered, ethereal, and weak as a dying candle in the wind, nearly collapsed completely!
"Pwah!"
As their fortune was severed, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi suffered the backlash instead, coughing up a mouthful of Golden Crow divine blood!
Scalding hot and freshly spilled!
"The Witch-Slaying Sword became the Demon-Slaying Sword!? Hiss—damn it! Truly damn it!!"
"Houtu, you deserve to die! Ahhh!!!"
The Witch-Slaying Sword had been a great killing weapon of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, yet in the blink of an eye, it had become a divine weapon of attack for their mortal enemies, the Witch Clan. All the Demon Clan's painstaking efforts over millions of years had gone to waste, and they had even made a wedding dress for someone else.
After all, the Demon Clan had massacred countless humans, collecting their blood essence and souls to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword. It had been hard work, all right!
It had cost them thought, effort, and time!
How could the two Golden Crow brothers swallow this anger!?
Naturally, they could not!
If this had happened earlier,
when the Twelve Ancestor Witches had relied upon the Dutian God-Demon Array to run rampant,
they would never have dared to lose their tempers.
They would have had to swallow their complaints.
Even if they were furious, they would have had to grit their teeth and swallow it down.
But now...
The Witch Clan was no longer what it had once been!
Dong! Dong! Dong!—
Sure enough, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was the first to explode in rage. He summoned the Innate Supreme Treasure of attack, the Chaos Bell. Holding the ancient bell in his palm, he sent its ancient, resonant chimes echoing throughout the universe. Endless Solar True Fire burned around him, and his golden hair whipped wildly behind his head.
With one step, he shattered the void; with another, he crossed heaven and earth!
Holding the bell, he charged fearlessly toward that empress-like immortal figure. His killing intent surged, his fury reached the heavens, and his momentum was unstoppable!
The Chaos Bell revealed its divine might, as though it could suppress primordial chaos and kill all enemies!
The Three-legged Golden Crow displayed its power, its Quasi-Saint pressure blanketing the chaotic starry sky and intimidating all living things beneath heaven and earth!
Previously, the Dutian God-Demon Array had been so dazzling that the beings of the Primordial World had nearly forgotten...
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was the Heavenly Court's God of War!
With the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell, in hand, his combat power was unmatched!
Once upon a time, he had been publicly acknowledged as the Number One Under the Sages in the Primordial World!
He was the Demon Clan's top dog!
He was also one of the Heavenly Court's twin ace enforcers!
Now, raging in fury and nearly mad, he was terrifying beyond compare!
He was simply too frightening!
"Eastern Emperor Taiyi? The so-called Number One Under the Sages is nothing more than a mere Quasi-Saint!"
"Do not think that because the Witch Clan has lost the Dutian God-Demon Array, you can now turn the world upside down!"
"Today, you feathered Golden Crow, why not hand your life over to me!!!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi came charging in madly.
Chen Xuan snorted with contempt and did not take him seriously at all.
As his words fell,
he had already made his move!
