In the endless gloom, only a single, jet-black orb of light, shimmering with a magnificent crimson glow, flickered.
Bathed in this crimson light, Chen Shuangbai held the [ Foot-Long Silk ] high in her hand.
This once pristine sword, now gleaming with a pure white light, had turned a deep crimson, a crimson far more vibrant than blood. As its wielder raised it high, the violent and pervasive malevolent energy concentrated itself upon this single sword.
Gently wave it down!
The crimson-black sword light crashed down, carrying boundless ferocity, transforming into a world-destroying crimson pillar of light. Rolling along its surface were wisps of black snowflakes. Wherever it passed, the void was annihilated, and anything that dared to obstruct it was reduced to ashes by this sword light.
True Lord Youluo and True Lord Red Silk naturally could not sit idly by and wait for their deaths.
However, the two of them were currently under the influence of that unique escape Divine Ability, their state was between reality and illusion, and they could do nothing and nothing at all.
As for the [ Ten Thousand Ghost Soul-Devouring Wheel ] that was speeding away, Chen Shuangbai fixed his gaze on it with a single glance, and the latter stopped moving when his Divine Ability light fell upon it.
A terrifying sound rang out at that moment!
The endless crimson-black sword light swept upwards, striking the two people who were in a special state.
First, a sound like shattering Glazed Glass rang out, and True Lord Youluo suddenly changed his expression. Even though he was in the same state as True Lord Red Silk, he couldn't care less about his special condition and hurriedly activated his Divine Ability.
But it was too late.
"I told you, if you try to escape again today, I will be displeased!"
Chen Shuangbai's eyes flashed with crimson light, and the crimson light on the sword in her hand blazed brightly once more. The earth-shattering crimson sword blade surged forward again, rolling forward and annihilating everything in its path.
All the cultivators heard were two shrill screams, followed by large splatters of golden blood and a blood-red river that had been abandoned.
Then, it vanished once more.
The fierce, crimson-black sword light pierced through the void where the two were, the tear remaining open for a long time. The crack shimmered with iridescent light, revealing Glazed Glass hue—a sight unique to the void.
The murderous aura emanating from Chen Shuangbai gradually dissipated, and the crimson-black light behind his head also gradually disappeared, as if he had transformed back into the clear and bright Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal he once was.
But what had just happened was too terrifying; even Nascent Soul Middle Stage... probably couldn't withstand it head-on, hence the long silence.
True Lord Purple Thunder retreated several miles away, his expression complex.
True Lord Mysterious Peak couldn't help but lean closer, seemingly excited.
As for the three Copper-Gold demons... they had already fled into the icy sea without looking back when those two shrill screams rang out.
They lost the guidance of the unique tethering formation of these three demons.
The immortal island below, protected by an ancient formation, slowly began to exude a divine aura. A surging tide of golden light swept in once more, and countless talismanic lights flickered and gradually disappeared into the golden brilliance.
True Lord Mysterious Peak was so angry he gritted his teeth, but he dared not gamble with his life.
True Lord Purple Thunder did want to make a move, but looking at Chen Shuangbai, who seemed calm and collected as if she hadn't experienced a major battle, he remembered the previous conflict and dared not act rashly.
As for Chen Shuangbai herself...
He did have some ideas about this fairy island, but there was no pressing matter at the moment.
If fate allows, we shall meet again in the future.
Furthermore...
He slowly raised his left hand, one of his Divine Ability solidifying into a faint golden light, within which faint talismanic images could be seen, clearly originating from the same source as the talismanic images surrounding the immortal island.
It was a small fragment he had just intercepted, intending to take it back and study it. If he could glean some insights, perhaps he could find this immortal island again.
He raised his head, looking at the void rift that was gradually beginning to heal, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"This sword strike of mine embodies the essence of the Moon Comet, possessing the power to annihilate all laws, and is utterly ferocious and malevolent."
"If you're hit by this sword, even if you don't die, you'll at least be badly injured."
The third eye between the brows of True Lord Youluo is still too sinister.
Chen Shuangbai's sword light, imbued with the malevolent intent of the Moon Comet, failed to completely annihilate the opponent... However, the opponent would not fare well either, at the very least suffering severe injuries.
"However... not entirely, there was no gain at all."
He raised his right hand, and a small, dark iron wheel was suppressed in his palm by Divine Ability light. It trembled occasionally, but seemed to notice Chen Shuangbai's gaze and then fell silent again.
"Top-grade Law Treasure... even in the entire Celebrated Splendor Continent, you couldn't find many like them."
"Whether we dismantle it and extract the spiritual resources, or trade it with another sect, it would be a considerable gain."
No wonder everyone says, "Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts"...
War profits are indeed the fastest way to get rich.
Chen Shuangbai suppressed her other thoughts, put away the iron wheel used for suppression, and turned to look at the two people still present.
True Lord Mysterious Peak naturally wore a somewhat obsequious smile, as for True Lord Purple Thunder... this Nascent Soul Middle Stage True Lord of the Arrayed Mystery Sect had already vanished in a thousand bolts of purple lightning before Chen Shuangbai's gaze even fell upon him.
Chen Shuangbai ignored the man.
While the Arrayed Mystery Sect is indeed annoying, it's not yet at the point where a life-or-death struggle is necessary.
The most urgent task is to inform those Nascent Soul Late Stage about what happened here.
As he pondered, the smiling old man True Lord Mysterious Peak, approached him and said with a grin, "Sword Immortal... there's nothing more to do here for now. Why don't you come back to shore with me?"
Chen Shuangbai shook her head and said, "That's indeed unfortunate."
"This junior has some matters to attend to and needs to seek out Senior Qingsongzi."
"Eh... I can't accept the title of 'senior'... please just call yourself a sword immortal."
Previously, he felt that he was senior enough to deserve being called a senior... but now, after witnessing that sword strike, this True Lord Mysterious Peak dared not truly accept the title of senior from this Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal.
Chen Shuangbai ignored him, took a step forward, and soared away in a beam of light.
He was about to find Liu Qinghe first and then tell him what had happened today.
The arrival of this golden dragon has triggered the birth of this immortal island... Normally it seems normal, but now is an extremely sensitive time, and there must be some shady dealings hidden within it that he doesn't quite understand.
And why did Youluo and Chilian, after appearing, not attack me, but instead target the two demons Jiyi and Ancient Crocodile, without saying a word?
They want the corpse or soul of Nascent Soul Demon Lord... What exactly do they want?
