Chapter 163: Luxian Juetian Sword? Great Slaughter Art?

Shengmo Island is gone; all living beings on the entire island are gone, including the number one person of the Chaotic Star Sea Demonic Path, Liudao Jisheng, and the number one person of the Righteous Path, Wan Sangu.

Those two Great Cultivators of Nascent Soul Late Stage, plus hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators, as well as thousands of Golden Core stage, Foundation Establishment stage, and Qi Refining stage cultivators, are all gone.

Everything on Shengmo Island, including all living beings, materials, and Spirit Stones, has completely vanished, leaving it as a thoroughly dead and silent island.

It has also completely turned the Chaotic Star Sea Demonic Path holy land, Shengmo Island, into an island devoid of people and life.

Heavenly Star City, deep within the Holy Mountain.

"Qinger... Qinger, what do you think of this matter?"

Ling Xiaofeng had not called her Qinger for several hundred years.

At this moment, Ling Xiaofeng's complexion, ever since he advanced to Great Cultivator of Nascent Soul Late Stage, showed paleness, panic, and terror for the first time.

This expression also appeared on Wen Qing's face; after all, the "Shengmo Island Tragedy" was something they could not believe, yet had to believe.

Throughout the entire Shengmo Island, there was not a single survivor—truly, completely not a single survivor—and even the heaven and earth Qi and demonic energy were at a level so thin it could be ignored, even more desolate than a barren island.

Such a "tragedy" left the entire Chaotic Star Sea shocked and terrified, unable to believe it.

Especially for Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing, who had been enemies with Wan Sangu and Liudao Jisheng for hundreds of years as fellow Great Cultivators of Nascent Soul Late Stage.

"I, too, do not know what to think. After all, this... how is it possible?"

Wen Qing did not want to believe the contents of the Jade Slip, yet she knew the Star Palace elders could not have deceived them.

At this moment, the "Shengmo Island Tragedy" had already spread to the Outer Star Sea, and perhaps even the Transformation Stage demon race already knew.

It was truly too inconceivable and shocking!

"That Lin Daoyou from the Miaoyin Sect, could he really be the resurrection of an ancient fierce demon?" Ling Xiaofeng thought of the rumors in the Jade Slip.

At this moment, they felt how foolish their previous discussions had been; Yan Taibai, who could turn the entire Shengmo Island into a "barren island," would never fear their Star Palace.

They even felt that as long as Yan Taibai wished, the entire Heavenly Star City could become the next "Shengmo Island" at any time, and not a single living being would survive in the entire Chaotic Star Sea.

"No matter who he is, or whether he is an ancient fierce demon, we must never offend him. Hurry, and at all costs, seize the Metal Attribute Spirit Stone mines and material mines of both the Righteous and Demonic Paths, then give them all to him. Otherwise, the entire Heavenly Star City could become the next 'Shengmo Island'."

Wen Qing said, her face pale.

"Good, I will give the order now."

Hearing this, Ling Xiaofeng did not dare to have any objections this time and agreed directly; he took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and began to issue orders methodically to attack the island mines and material mines occupied by the Anti-Star Alliance.

These all needed to be given to Yan Taibai; their Star Palace did not need them anymore.

Once the "Shengmo Island Tragedy" broke out, the Heavenly Star Sages, Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing, no longer had any thoughts of "reaping the benefits"; they only wanted to befriend Yan Taibai and not offend him.

As for everything else, it was no longer important!

They did not want Heavenly Star City to become the next Shengmo Island and have the Star Palace's tens of thousands of years of foundation go up in smoke; they could not afford such a consequence.

They were also fortunate that they had not offended Yan Taibai openly, and had even let Ling Yuling take Yan Taibai as her master.

In this situation, it could be considered that they had some friendship.

For the time being, it would not lead to Heavenly Star City becoming Shengmo Island.

As for the matter of Shengmo Island, the two of them felt nothing but fear.

Compared to the terrified and wary Heavenly Star Sages, Ling Yuling was filled with awe for Yan Taibai, almost to the point of worshipping him as a god.

After all, Ling Yuling had worried about many situations, but she had never imagined that the entire "Shengmo Island" would just be gone like that, without a single survivor!

At this moment, her mind was filled with Yan Taibai's previous words: as long as one's strength and divine abilities are powerful enough, no matter how many enemies there are, they are merely clay chickens and pottery dogs, easily wiped out with a wave of one's hand.

She had originally thought Yan Taibai was comforting her, or even bragging, but facts proved that Yan Taibai had not; he had even been humble.

It was too terrifying, too powerful! Ling Yuling could guarantee that even the entire Star Palace might not be able to do what he did—turn Shengmo Island into a barren island where almost no heaven and earth Qi existed, and even the heaven and earth spiritual veins had withered and vanished.

Such divine ability and power—this was not what the outside world called the resurrection of an ancient fierce demon; this was clearly a true immortal from the Immortal Realm descending to the mortal world.

Moreover, even if it were the resurrection of an ancient fierce demon, it was an existence the entire Chaotic Star Sea could not afford to provoke; at the very least, her parents and the entire Star Palace could not afford to provoke Yan Taibai.

Ling Yuling had full confidence in this; now, whether it was the human race or the demon race, no one in the entire Chaotic Star Sea could afford to provoke Yan Taibai.

"Alright, you have been staring for half an hour; there are no flowers growing on your master's face."

Yan Taibai said speechlessly.

"Pfft."

Seeing this, Yan Ruyan could not help but laugh out loud.

From beginning to end, only Yan Ruyan had never worried about Yan Taibai; for no other reason than that the matter of the Ghost Spirit Sect was still fresh in her memory.

Although the strength of the Anti-Star Alliance was almost equivalent to the combined forces of the Righteous and Demonic Paths of the Tiannan Cultivation World, Yan Ruyan had sufficient confidence in Yan Taibai.

After all, the current Yan Taibai was no longer the Yan Taibai of the past; naturally, he could resolve a calamity that others would find impossible to match and almost certain to be fatal.

Hearing these words and Yan Ruyan's laughter, a shy blush appeared on Ling Yuling's small face; she lowered her head, but asked, unwilling to give up.

"Master, how exactly did you destroy Shengmo Island, Wan Sangu, and Liudao Jisheng? Could it really be the resurrection of an ancient fierce demon?"

"Hehe, the resurrection of an ancient fierce demon—they really know how to pin crimes on me. However, it is useless; as long as they lack the ability to kill or oppose me, they dare not say anything. The only thing to worry about is whether your parents can tolerate the existence of such a great threat as me."

Yan Taibai chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of probing.

"Master, rest assured, Father and Mother will absolutely not have any malice toward you. Moreover, Father and Mother have already decided to give all the Metal Attribute Spirit Stone mines and material mines controlled by the Righteous and Demonic Paths to you, to help you cultivate."

Hearing this, Ling Yuling shuddered and said hurriedly.

After all, Yan Taibai could destroy the entire Shengmo Island and the Anti-Star Alliance, so he could just as easily destroy the entire Heavenly Star City and the Star Palace; the difference between the two was not significant.

"Then you can thank your parents for me. I will go see them in a while. After all, destroying the entire Shengmo Island and a group of Nascent Soul cultivators like Liudao Jisheng and Wan Sangu this time has truly drained quite a bit of my vitality."

Yan Taibai did not continue to say anything, only smiling faintly.

As for Yan Taibai's words, both Ling Yuling and Yan Ruyan expressed their belief and urged Yan Taibai to enter seclusion as soon as possible to cultivate and restore his vitality.

Yan Taibai was naturally happy to be free. He did not need to restore his vitality; he needed to suppress his Life-Bound Magical Treasure: the Luxian Juetian Sword.

The demonic killing intent of this thing was growing stronger and stronger; if not for the fact that the threat of the Anti-Star Alliance was too great and he was not confident in destroying the entire Anti-Star Alliance with his own strength, Yan Taibai would actually not have wanted to use the Luxian Juetian Sword at all.

Once this Life-Bound Magical Treasure was unleashed, it would be a total extermination, leaving absolutely no chance of survival.

Rather than calling it the "White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash," it was better to call it the "Great Slaughter Art"; there was really no big difference between the two.

In short, if Yan Taibai had not advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage and practiced the "White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash," he would inevitably have suffered a backlash and been killed by his own Life-Bound Magical Treasure; Yan Taibai did not want to become such a person.

After this time, Yan Taibai did not intend to use the Luxian Juetian Sword again unless absolutely necessary; the danger was too great, and once it exceeded the limit he could suppress, he would surely die, and then the entire Human World would practically be reduced to a living hell.

No, it would be worse than a living hell; it would become a space devoid of any life.

Therefore, Yan Taibai was very clear that he could not rashly use the Luxian Juetian Sword again.

The consequences were simply too severe!

Just as Yan Taibai was in his cave dwelling, exerting all his strength to suppress his Life-Bound Magical Treasure, the Luxian Juetian Sword, the Star Palace in the outside world pressed their advantage; without much effort, they subdued and took control of all the major sects of both the righteous and demonic paths.

This was also a matter of course; among the current righteous and demonic sects, unless a sect possessed three Nascent Soul cultivators, they all had to go to Shengmo Island to surround and kill Yan Taibai.

But the final result was also obvious: the entire Shengmo Island no longer had a trace of life, and even calling it desolate would not be enough to describe it.

Under these circumstances, unless they surrendered to the Star Palace to preserve their sects, they would be slaughtered to the last person, as the Star Palace would show no mercy.

Just like that, in less than a year after the Shengmo Island Tragedy, the Anti-Star Alliance completely vanished into thin air, and most of the righteous and demonic sects and islands chose to submit to the Star Palace or the Miaoyin Sect, contributing all the Metal Attribute Spirit Stone veins and material veins within their sects and islands.

And the unluckiest ones were the Metal Attribute Demon Beasts of the Outer Star Sea, which were completely "hot commodities," especially since the prices of their Demon Cores were ridiculously high.

This was all to curry favor with Yan Taibai, the current number one person in the Chaotic Star Sea.

But what everyone did not know was that after Yan Taibai suppressed the Life-Bound Magical Treasure, the Luxian Juetian Sword, within his body,

he quietly left Heavenly Star City and did not enter any of the Miaoyin Sect's Metal Attribute Spirit Stone veins or material veins to cultivate, but instead set off for the Outer Star Sea.

He remembered that there was a Tenth Level Transformation Stage Demon Beast, the Golden Flood Dragon King, in the Outer Star Sea; although it was not as good as an entire Metal Attribute Spirit Stone vein, it was still a rare supplement.

So he planned to go to the Outer Star Sea to search for it and see if he could encounter it; it would be a good chance to go out and relax, and release the Slaughtering Evil Qi within his body to avoid any incidents.

This Slaughtering Evil Qi all came from his Life-Bound Magical Treasure, the Luxian Juetian Sword.

Therefore, he was not suitable to continue cultivating right now and needed to release the "Slaughtering Evil Qi" within his body first.

Of course, this "Slaughtering Evil Qi," to be precise, should be "Slaughtering Evil Qi," which had a significant impact on the Nascent Soul and the True Essence Magic Power in his dantian, so it had to be resolved as soon as possible.

However, actively searching for the Golden Flood Dragon King was somewhat difficult, so Yan Taibai chose to lure the flood dragon out to sea.

As for how to lure it, he remembered that there was a nephew of the Golden Flood Dragon King, a Poison Flood Dragon, and a brother, a Li-Fire Flood Dragon, on Qiyuan Island; as long as he caught them, whether it was searching their souls to find the location of the Golden Flood Dragon King's cave dwelling or "luring the flood dragon out to sea," it was a good choice.

And if there were no accidents, that Poison Flood Dragon should be at the Transformation Stage, which was the perfect time.

……

"It should be this area, right?"

Yan Taibai arrived near the "Mist Island" in the Qiyuan Island sea area, but after searching for a few days, there were no signs of any Transformation Stage Demon Beast undergoing the tribulation to transform.

This meant it was not yet time, so Yan Taibai wandered around the areas in the Qiyuan Island sea area where high-level Demon Beasts frequently appeared; as long as he encountered a Demon Beast above the fifth level, he would strike and kill it.

As for Demon Beasts below the fifth level, they were of little help to him, so it was better to leave them for other cultivators.

On this day, just as Yan Taibai had hunted the sixty-sixth high-level Demon Beast above the fifth level and returned to Mist Island, intending to rest for a few days

before continuing to hunt high-level Demon Beasts at sea, the sky over the sea ahead suddenly changed color; dark clouds gathered, thunder rolled, long howls continued, and demon energy swept across the sky and earth, shooting straight into the clouds and spreading for a hundred miles, as if it were intimidating something.

And Yan Taibai knew all too well what this meant.

A Seventh-Level peak Demon Beast was about to undergo the Transformation Lightning Tribulation, and during this period, only the Poison Flood Dragon and that turtle, the two Seventh-Level peak Demon Beasts in the Qiyuan Island sea area, could undergo this Transformation Lightning Tribulation.

"I really am lucky to have encountered it so soon."

Looking at the rolling thunder in the distant horizon and the silver electric arcs in the high sky that looked like silver snakes, Yan Taibai sighed.

Before his voice faded, he saw strong winds rising on the distant sea. Dozens of thick water columns shot out, and then a large area of seawater rapidly rose and bulged; clearly, some behemoth was about to emerge from the sea.

Without a doubt, it was either the Poison Flood Dragon or the big turtle.

And as a long howl that sounded like a horse's neigh resounded, the next moment, following a flash of blue light, a giant beast with a bright red body broke through the waves and emerged from the sea.

This Demon Beast was bright red in color and a hundred zhang long; this was a genuine flood dragon, and it was exactly the Poison Flood Dragon that Yan Taibai was looking for.

"Finally out. It really is an Eighth-Level Poison Flood Dragon. As long as I catch you, then that Golden Flood Dragon King won't be able to run either."

Seeing the Poison Flood Dragon appear, the smile on Yan Taibai's face became even brighter; after all, he could completely search its soul to learn the location of the Golden Flood Dragon King's cave dwelling,

and then he would be able to kill that Golden Flood Dragon King!

After all, he had waited in this Qiyuan Island sea area for so long, and it was time for the harvest.

As for whether he could beat the Golden Flood Dragon King, Yan Taibai was not worried at all.

Even without using his Life-Bound Magical Treasure, the Luxian Juetian Sword, killing the Golden Flood Dragon King was not a difficult task for him; the only trouble for him was the Beast Tide that would follow after killing the Golden Flood Dragon King, which was a somewhat troublesome matter.

The simplest way would be to use his Life-Bound Magical Treasure, the Luxian Juetian Sword, again.

But this was obviously impossible now.
