Rolling black flames converged into a tide, surging and shifting, while a large black-feathered bird galloped freely within it, stirring up terrifying waves of black fire.
The Azure Cloud Sword Lord stood within the sword domain, his two swords, one azure and one white, transforming into two endlessly rotating sword lights. Countless azure and white sword stars rose up and fell like meteorites, directly suppressing the Black Flame of the Nether Sparrow Demon Lord.
True Lord Qingchen stood atop the Huachi Pool, which radiated five-colored light, holding the [ Scarlet Yang Pure Truth Mountain-Suppressing Ruyi ] in his left hand and taking out a five-sided, Five-Colored Mystic Gui in his right.
It was Spirit Treasure he himself had refined, a low-grade [ Five Virtues Water Fortune Mystic Gui ].
[ Scarlet Yang Pure Truth Mountain-Suppressing Ruyi ] belongs to the fire and earth elements, which is not very compatible with Qingchen.
On the contrary, this low-grade Spirit Treasure was originally a prototype forged by his master when he was still alive. It was only after being nurtured by True Lord Qingchen for hundreds of years and continuously infused with his essence that it became Spirit Treasure.
Although the quality level is slightly lower, it suits him perfectly.
With a gentle turn of the [ Five Virtues Water Fortune Mystic Gui ] in True Lord Qingchen's hand, five-colored radiance rippled out like waves, stirring up layers of ripples in the pool beneath his feet, and then endless, shimmering water poured out.
The surging black flames mingled with the shimmering water, creating a hissing and bubbling sound as they rose and evaporated.
The Nether Sparrow Demon Lord eyes burned brightly, and he saw that the black fire formed by his Divine Ability was being suppressed by the water light, which even had the effect of suppressing his Divine Ability.
The hundreds of blue-white sword stars suddenly accelerated their rotation, like a huge galaxy vortex, trapping the Nether Sparrow Demon Lord and the black flames surrounding it within.
Countless sword stars spun rapidly, cutting through the black flames and producing a piercing metallic scraping sound. Although they couldn't immediately break through the Nether Sparrow Demon Lord's defenses, they did firmly restrain it in place.
The enormous demon's fierce blue eyes flickered slightly, and with each flap of its wings, the viscous black fire, like mud, burst forth with an even more dazzling dark light. Its fierce corrosiveness also continuously corroded the blue-white sword star formed by the Azure Cloud Sword Lord's Divine Ability.
But the Nether Sparrow Demon Lord didn't care about any of that; what it truly cared about was...
Buzz!
A point of purple light flickered above his head.
Immediately following, a purple-gold radiance spread out for over a thousand miles in an instant. Amidst the chanting of countless immortals and gods, a lifelike, majestic, and colossal heavenly gate suddenly appeared, and then... enveloped in unparalleled Divine Ability power, it crashed heavily onto the black fire sparrow beneath it!
This Heavenly Gate is most adept at suppressing and refining; once suppressed, even with immense strength, it is extremely difficult to escape.
Although the Nether Sparrow Demon Lord was arrogant and narrow-minded, he was not a fool.
The black fire sparrow suddenly appeared out of thin air, its figure seemingly becoming ethereal, transforming into a hazy black Shadow. It then nimbly escaped the triple encirclement of Qingyun, Qingchen, and Tianmen.
Above the majestic Heavenly Gate, Chen Shuangbai activated her Dharma Eye, focused her gaze, and was secretly amazed.
The words of the Azure Cloud Sword Lord rang in their ears simultaneously.
"This giant bird possesses some of the blood of the Ghost Chariot, which is a demonic bird of the Ghost Chariot, known for its strangeness and darkness. It is also a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, so it naturally has Divine Ability. Ordinary Divine Ability cannot suppress its ability to become ethereal and escape."
The Nether Sparrow Demon Lord hovered in the void not far away, its emerald green eyes coldly staring at the three of them. It opened its black beak and inhaled again, drawing in a massive amount of life essence, making the divine light in its eyes even brighter.
" Chunhe couldn't suppress me back then, let alone you juniors!"
The great bird's voice was extremely unpleasant, and as it absorbed more and more life essence, its own strength recovered more and more. Gradually, an even more terrifying Yao Qi also emerged, making people feel terrified.
And it was at this time.
The three humans and one Divine Sense and turned to look in one direction. They saw a point of dark purple light enveloping countless evil spirits and creatures, spreading out rapidly like a tide, revealing a demon wearing a dark red cloak, with high cheekbones and faintly visible intertwined and inverted demonic patterns in his eyes.
It was none other than Devil Lord Yuandu.
On the dark red cloak worn by this Devil Lord, there were three crisscrossing blue and white sword marks. Terrifying sword Divine Ability was constantly emanating blue and white spiritual light from it, but it was firmly blocked by a crystal skull-like Law Treasure with a red bead in its mouth, which it held in its hand. It was looking at the three people, Qingyu Sword Lord, with its demonic eyes.
Who are you?
The Nether Sparrow Demon Lord opened his mouth noisily, but after a fixed look in his emerald eyes, he seemed to remember something and asked sharply, "I remember now, you broke the seal, allowing me to break free and see the light of day again."
Yuandu nodded slightly and said, "You're too kind, Demon Lord... Would you be interested in leaving these culprits who caused your sealing here as well?"
The Nether Sparrow Demon Lord's emerald green eyes slowly swept over Devil Lord Yuandu. After a moment of silence, he suddenly let out a cold laugh with an ambiguous meaning, "You don't think that just because you released me, I'll be at your mercy and do whatever you say, do you?"
Devil Lord Yuandu, remained expressionless, merely offering a faint smile. A deep glint flashed in his eyes, which were adorned with inverted demonic patterns. "You jest, Demon Lord. How could I presume to ask for your gratitude?"
"It's just a collaboration."
"These three are, in a sense, disciples of the culprit who sealed you away, and two righteous immortal cultivators. Regardless of which one it is, their bodies and souls are invaluable delicacies for you, Demon Lord, who desperately needs to devour a large number of lives to restore your peak strength... aren't they?"
The Nether Sparrow Demon Lord's gaze suddenly turned deep and dark, and the black flames around him surged.
Its emerald green eyes scanned back and forth between Devil Lord Yuandu, Azure Cloud Sword Lord, and the other two, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze, with only the crackling of the burning black fire and the faint rumble of the battle between the Void Worm and the Void-Piercing Borer Dragon in the distance.
Not long after.
The black firebird seemed to have been persuaded, and it let out a strange, mocking laugh, making no attempt to hide the sarcasm in its tone.
"Just as I expected!"
"I am not mistaken. It was you human cultivators who sealed me away, and it is you human cultivators who have released me now... You cultivators are best at infighting, and what I enjoy watching most is infighting!"
Devil Lord Yuandu smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "Demon Lord, what do you think?"
