Shining with purple light.
The firebird demon soul, about the size of a fist and covered in faint gray poisonous flames, still had a very obvious fawning expression on its face. Following Chen Shuangbai's gaze, it also looked at the Purple-Gold Heavenly Gate that stretched across the cold void.
"This, this is..."
Jiyi's voice trembled, "It's true! It's true!"
"What's real or fake?"
Chen Shuangbai's slightly cold voice boomed in the demon soul's ear, causing the shock on Jiyi's face to subside somewhat.
It opened its mouth, as if it wanted to say something.
Chen Shuangbai glanced at him dismissively and said in a deep voice, "Your chance of survival now rests entirely in my hands. You'd better think it through before you speak."
The demon's eyes, no bigger than mung beans, twitched slightly as it looked at the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal before it. All it could see was a faint chill emanating from the pair of platinum rings in the sword immortal's jade pupils.
It couldn't help but shudder, and said in a deep voice, "I dare not deceive the Sword Immortal."
"I... my Lineage records state that a certain ancestor once entered this immortal island and, amidst a boundless sea of stars, saw a radiant celestial gate stretching across the cold void."
According to records, "My ancestor only glanced at it from afar and didn't dare to approach it at all."
"In his records, he wrote that the oppressive force emanating from that Heavenly Gate was so strong that even he, a demon lord in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, felt his heart tremble, as if he would be swallowed up by the Heavenly Gate if he looked at it any longer."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai raised an eyebrow slightly, her mind racing. Half doubtful and half deducing, she said, "So, the target of your Colored Light Cave is actually this Heavenly Gate?"
Jiyi swallowed non-existent saliva and nodded tremblingly.
It was originally loyal to its clan, but now that it is only a demon soul left and has been manipulated by this ruthless sword immortal, it has thrown all clan ethics to the back of its mind and exposed everything.
That's somewhat plausible.
Looking at this Purple-Gold Heavenly Gate, it is mostly in a state of silence now, but its power, its Divine Ability light, and its vastness... It is said that even the Peacock Demon Lord, who is in the Nascent Soul Late Stage realm, is very tempted.
It's probably at least a High-Grade Spirit Treasure, and if we dare to think about it even more, it might be a Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure!
Among the Sixteen Demon Caves, the Peacock of Colored Light Cave ranks among the top three, but it is still suppressed by the Flood Dragon Clan, which has its own independent faction.
No one can stand having someone above them who's controlling them.
Let alone the Peacock, whose nature is inherently greedy and vicious!
"No wonder you greedy Peacock dared to betray that dragon."
Jiyi shrank back, the gray poisonous flames dimming slightly, and said sheepishly:
"Sword Immortal, please see the truth... I dare not conceal anything."
"My ancestor said that the Langhuan Heavenly Gate is Spirit Treasure passed down from the Middle Ages. If we can bring it back to our clan and refine it using Secret Method, it can become the clan's Colored Light Cave artifact."
"At that time, not only at sea, but even across the entire Celebrated Splendor Continent, my Colored Light Cave will be among the top..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai gave a noncommittal laugh:
"That's a good idea."
"It's a pity you didn't even get to see the Heavenly Gate before things got messed up."
Upon hearing this, the demon spirit dared not refute, a hint of embarrassment appearing on its face as it nodded vigorously.
Chen Shuangbai ignored it and instead turned her gaze back to the Purple-Gold Heavenly Gate, silently making plans in her mind.
"Since your family has come here specifically for this Heavenly Gate, you must have a way to subdue this object, right?"
Chen Shuangbai continued to exploit Jiyi.
Having already said all that, the Peacock decided to throw caution to the wind and spill everything out at once:
"Reporting to the Sword Immortal, I am not the Ancestor, and my knowledge is limited... I only say that this treasure possesses a spirit, but for some reason, it is dormant in this boundless, cold void. Therefore, capturing it would greatly reduce the difficulty."
"Besides the fact that the Spirit Treasure doesn't reject cultivators, the cultivator or Demon Cultivator who refines this treasure must possess profound supernatural Divine Ability far surpassing their peers, as well as vast Law Power... and one more thing is also required."
What is it?
"A fourth-tier spiritual resource called [ Dark Radiance Divine Iron ] is said to originate from this immortal island... I originally possessed a piece bestowed upon me by my clan, but the sword immortal's Sword Intent was so profound that it, along with my physical body, was obliterated, and thus it vanished."
Chen Shuangbai fell silent for a moment, realizing that she hadn't expected to be a bit too ruthless.
" Dark Radiance Divine Iron... this seems to be a kind of spiritual ore, extremely suitable for refining weapons..."
As Chen Shuangbai spoke, she looked up at the majestic, shimmering purple and golden heavenly gate, and couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that this Spirit Treasure occasionally craves these 'little snacks'?"
broken.
Without this divine iron... how can we capture this Spirit Treasure?
Is this Spirit Treasure?
With treasures delivered right to our doorstep, how can we possibly enter a mountain of treasures empty-handed and leave empty-handed?!
Just when Chen Shuangbai was at her wit's end...
Suddenly, several streams of energy appeared in the starry sky opposite, coming from different directions.
Not long after.
Several figures tore through the void and arrived near the majestic Heavenly Gate, each looking at the Purple-Gold Heavenly Gate with greedy and shocked eyes.
Chen Shuangbai glanced at them one by one, her worried expression immediately disappearing. She laughed and said, "It really is a case of getting exactly what you need!"
Besides Beigong You and Purple Thunder, who were also caught up in this situation, there were two other people.
One was a young man also dressed in black, with a faint blood-red glow emanating from his body; the other... was a slender old man wearing a white cloak and holding a soul banner in his hand.
The two people behind them had mottled auras, indicating they were either from unorthodox sects or demonic paths.
Only the old man holding the soul banner, Chen Shuangbai carefully sensed the aura opposite him and clicked her tongue softly.
"The scent of the Devil Cultivation Method of the Parting Hate Gate..."
These four people.
They're all in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!
At this moment, Jiyi looked at the young man in black and took the initiative to remind him, "Sword Immortal, that person has the aura of [ Dark Radiance Divine Iron ] on him, although it is very weak, I can feel it."
"Oh?"
Chen Shuangbai's eyes lit up slightly.
Looking at the young man in black, although he looked completely unfamiliar, that didn't matter... since he was here, it meant he was an opponent!
Since we're opponents... there's no need to hold back!
The Martial Dao clone, who had been silently standing beside Chen Shuangbai from beginning to end, suddenly brightened its golden eyes.
Like two burning stars, they shone brightly in the cold void!
"Go."
Before the black-clad youth could even react, he saw a golden-clad youth leap in front of him, golden iridescent light emanating from his body soaring into the sky, his right hand clenched into a fist as if grasping a burning sun.
boom!!!
A deafening roar exploded in the void!
Billions of golden rays burst forth in all directions, and wherever they passed, the immense power of the combined light and heat burned everything in their path, creating a fiery trail. In this cold sea of stars, the golden light soared into the sky.
The divine Martial Dao Divine Ability from the Divine Yang Sect.
[ Golden Light Heaven-Soaring Divine Fist ]!
