Heart Burning Demon Abyss

The Demon Realm's distinctive russet clouds hung oppressively low. Beneath Chu Mo's feet, the karmic fire of the Heart Burning Demon Abyss surged, yet under the repulsion of Chaos Sword Qi, it formed a bizarre vacuum zone. Yun Che's Eyes of Reversed Time glimmered faintly, freezing the flowing river of fire into dazzling amber and revealing the entrance to a sword tomb hidden beneath the flames—a pyramid formed of countless sword bones slowly rotated, every bone flowing with dark golden Sword Intent. It was the manifestation of the Tomb Keeper's inheritance, the "Heart Burning Sword Scripture."

"Brother Chu Mo, the arrangement of the sword bones corresponds to the Northern Dipper Star Region." Yun Che's Heaven Suppressing Seal swept across the sword bones. Wherever its golden radiance reached, the charred patterns upon them writhed like living creatures. "This is the Heart Burning Star Formation of the ancient sword tomb. Back then, our mothers once tempered their sword hearts here."

Chu Mo nodded, his broken sword humming as it hovered in midair. The instant Chaos Sword Qi touched the sword bones, the fragmented pages of the "Heart Burning Sword Scripture" flooded into his Sea of Consciousness like migratory birds returning to their nest. Mixed within them was a strand of Sword Intent from his mother, Chu Muxue—her protective mark, sealed within the sword tomb before her death. So Mother took the Heart Burning Nine Consecutive Slashes head-on back then to leave me a chance to break the formation...

Before his words had faded, seven burning sword shadows burst forth from the river of fire. The sword cores of the karmic-fire puppets throbbed in their chests. Every attack carried the Corrosion Law, yet the moment it touched Chu Mo's sword domain, it was stripped away by Chaos Sword Qi and fed back as new strength for the domain. "Heart Burning Sword Scripture, Soul Burning Form!" Chu Mo barked. His broken sword traced a spiraling arc, condensing the seven sword shadows into solid fire swords before he flung them toward the pyramid's peak.

The skeletal remains of the Tomb Keeper leader opened their eyes, karmic fire flickering in their hollow sockets. "The Chaos Sword Body truly can reverse-refine the Heart Burning Sword Intent... If Chu Muxue had possessed insight like yours back then, why would there have been any need..." His voice was cut short by a sword cry. Chu Mo's broken sword had already struck the core of the sword wheel, while Yun Che's Eyes of Reversed Time precisely halted it for three-tenths of a breath, creating a fatal opening for him.

Boom—

The instant the Heart Burning Sword Wheel collapsed, the Tomb Keeper leader's skeleton turned into sparks and melted into Chu Mo's body. Chu Mo felt his Sea of Consciousness clear. The flame patterns of the Heart Burning Demonic Jade fit perfectly with the Chaos Sword Seal, while dark red dual-colored sword patterns emerged across the broken sword's surface—the manifestation of the Chaos and Heart Burning Laws. He had finally completed a second awakening of his Sword Intent through a non-Origin Law.

"Look!" Yun Che pointed toward the sky. Karmic fire condensed above the pyramid's peak into the phantom of the ancient Heart Burning Sword Master. The World Suppressing Seal at her waist echoed from afar with Yun Che's Heaven Suppressing Seal, their two radiances weaving together in the air to form a complete Taiji Diagram. "Heaven Suppressing and World Suppressing were originally the two poles of yin and yang. They were split in two only to seal the Demon God..." Su Hanxue's voice came through the Communication Jade Slip, trembling as never before. "Chu Mo, Yun Che, you must do so before the Demon God awakens..."

The jade slip suddenly erupted with blazing light, and Su Hanxue's image was torn apart by Chaos Sword Qi. Chu Mo clenched his broken sword, sensing the violent aura drifting from the distant Chaos Realm—the sign that the Demon God was about to break free of its seal. "Yun Che, we must return to the Desolate Sword Domain at once." He looked toward the Heart Burning Demonic Jade floating above the pyramid's peak. The resonance between his sword domain and the jade pendant even allowed him a faint glimpse of the Chaos Realm's entrance.

Yet at that moment, a Space Rift tore open the heavens, and the Reincarnation Palace's massive warship descended once more. Hundreds of death beams blanketed the sword tomb, only to shatter one after another before the Heart Burning barrier Chu Mo had newly condensed. The Reincarnation Palace Master's phantom stepped forth upon the light, holding a bloodstained Primordial Chaos Fragment Map. "Chaos Sword Master, do you think gathering all the keys will let you rewrite fate? The seven Divine Venerables had long foreseen that the destiny of the Twin Sword Masters could only be..."

"Only to perish together with the Demon God?" Chu Mo sneered. His broken sword resonated with the eight key fragments, forming nine radiant swords of differing attributes behind him. "But they never foresaw that the bond between Heaven Suppressing and Chaos was never sacrifice—it was symbiosis."

The nine radiant swords slashed out at once, tearing a massive breach through the warship. Yun Che seized the chance to recall the Heart Burning Demonic Jade, only to discover that its flame patterns were merging with the Heaven Suppressing Seal on her palm, faintly forming a portal to the Chaos Realm. "Brother Chu Mo, the jade pendant is guiding us!" Her Eyes of Reversed Time suddenly saw the future clearly—Su Hanxue's white-clad figure was being besieged by twelve streams of Chaos Sword Qi at the edge of the Chaos Realm.

"Go!" Chu Mo seized Yun Che's hand. The instant they stepped into the portal, the stone stele at the center of the Heart Burning Demon Abyss rose once more. Its inscription had changed: On the day the nine keys return to their places, the Twin Sword Masters must use their hearts as the guide and burn away their origins; only then may Primordial Chaos reboot.

Above the Desolate Sword Domain, Sword Thirteen's iron sword was about to fly from his grasp. The Immortal Emperor of the Mysterious Yellow Divine Dynasty was just about to strike when seven-colored streams of light suddenly exploded across the sky. Chu Mo and Yun Che arrived upon the radiance, the karmic fire of the Heart Burning Demonic Jade and the lightning of the Primal Beginning Jade Pendant forming armor around their bodies. Wherever they passed, the Mysterious Yellow Law melted away like ice and snow.

"Xiao Yiyun, your obsession should end here." Chu Mo's broken sword pressed against the Mysterious Yellow Crown Prince's throat. Looking at the phantom of the Heart Burning Sword Master reflected in his eyes, he said, "Your grandfather severed my mother's arm back then. Today, I will sever the inheritance of your Mysterious Yellow Divine Dynasty."

After the sword cry, Xiao Yiyun's figure scattered away, leaving behind only an unwilling roar: "The Demon God will devour every last one of you..."

After the battle ended, Chu Mo stared at the eight keys in his hand. For the first time, the light of the key fragments connected into a complete star map. The location of the ninth key—the Demon God's Heart at the core of the Chaos Realm—was vibrating at a furious frequency, as though urging the final confrontation. Yun Che suddenly grasped his hand and pressed the Heaven Suppressing Seal into his palm. "No matter how this ends, I will be with you."

From afar, the Communication Jade Slip from Su Hanxue sent one final strand of divine sense: The entrance to the Chaos Realm lies deep within the Sea of No Return's Ruin Returning Abyss. The other half of the World Suppressing Seal's Law is hidden beneath the Demon God's reverse scale... And also, I am sorry. I deceived you. The Heaven Suppressing Saintess's true mission is to offer her divine body as a sacrifice for the Chaos Sword Master...

Chu Mo looked at Yun Che's shocked face and suddenly remembered the arc traced by the sword tassel his mother, Chu Muxue, had left behind as it swayed in the wind—the "Live Together" sword pattern she had carved into the Heart Burning sword tomb all those years ago. He gently brushed the lightning pattern between Yun Che's brows. The broken sword and the Heaven Suppressing Seal rang out together, as though the laws of all worlds were resonating for them.

"Let's go," Chu Mo said softly. "This time, we will not only gather the keys. We will also carve the answer that belongs to us upon the Demon God's Heart with the laws of Heaven Suppressing and Chaos."

Yun Che nodded. The Heaven Suppressing Seal and Heart Burning Demonic Jade turned into streams of light in her palm, intertwining with Chu Mo's broken sword to form a bridge leading to the Chaos Realm. The sword cultivators of the Desolate Sword Domain watched this sight and suddenly recalled an ancient prophecy—when the light of Chaos and Heaven Suppressing illuminated all worlds, it would be the time of Primordial Chaos Reboot.

Storms howled through the Chaos Realm. Su Hanxue's white-clad figure swayed on the verge of collapse amid Chaos Sword Qi. She looked at the half of the World Suppressing Seal in her hand when she suddenly heard a familiar sword cry behind her. As she turned, Chu Mo and Yun Che were arriving upon the light, Heart Burning Karmic Fire and Primal Beginning lightning flowing around them, forming a brilliance more radiant than the sun.

"I told you, I would never let you face this alone again." Chu Mo's broken sword cut down the approaching Chaos Sword Qi, while Yun Che had already pressed the Heaven Suppressing Seal against Su Hanxue's wounded World Suppressing Seal. The instant the three-colored lights intertwined, the sky of the Chaos Realm was torn open by a rift, revealing the blurred outline of the Primordial Sword Domain beyond.

The Demon God's roar came from the depths of the rift, carrying ten thousand years of unwillingness and desire. Chu Mo grasped the hands of the two women, his broken sword pointed toward the core of the Chaos Realm. "Let's go and complete the mission our mothers left unfinished—this time, the three of us are the answer for all worlds."

The karmic fire of the Heart Burning Demon Abyss gradually died out. The sword bones within the sword tomb gave clear cries in the wind, as though playing a battle hymn for the coming final chapter. The legend of the Chaos Sword Master, tempered in the karmic fire of the Heart Burning Demon Abyss and illuminated by the union of the three seals, took its firmest step toward the final reboot of the Primordial Sword Domain.

And awaiting them were the final key at the Demon God's Heart, the ultimate mission of the Heaven Suppressing Saintess, and the final choice between the laws of Chaos and Heaven Suppressing before all worlds—symbiosis, or mutual destruction?
