Chapter 124

"The Demon-Slaying Sword Case nourishes the river of sword qi to split the Blood Sea protecting the Blood Demon; then the Demon-Breaking Golden Needle takes the opportunity to nail the Blood Demon's Primordial Spirit to prevent him from moving and changing; immediately after, the Demon-Binding Silver Ring binds the Blood Demon's Primordial Spirit; then the Demon-Fixing Treasure Mirror shines to break the changes of the Blood Sea, making his Primordial Spirit unable to hide; finally, use the Demon-Refining Taiyin Zhenhuo to burn the Blood Sea... and the Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword will slay the Blood Demon's Primordial Spirit!"

"In order to prevent the Blood Demon's remaining Primordial Spirit from escaping, there is the Demon-Transforming Jade Bottle to collect the remnants of his Primordial Spirit, to be refined by the joint efforts of the Seven Treasures!"

Before setting off, the slovenly Daoist Zhou Qi explained the usage of the Seven Demon-Slaying Treasures to Qian Chen and the others.

Each of these seven treasures was aimed at one of the Blood Demon's supernatural powers. When the Seven Heroes slew the demons back then, they had already pre-conceived the steps to slay the Blood Demon.

Ning Qingchen was somewhat confused and said: "Since that's the case, why didn't the Seven Demon-Slaying Treasures achieve full success when they were in the hands of the seven seniors?"

"Because at that time, the Blood Demon had killed countless people and devoured hundreds of fellow Daoists. He had already refined the Blood Sea Demonic Body, refining the souls of those hundreds of fellow Daoists into demonic shadows. Even though the Seven Demon-Slaying Treasures could fix the Blood Demon's Primordial Spirit, his life had become an evil object formed by countless lives gathered together, accommodated by the eerie filth of the Blood Sea."

"It can be said to be a kind of evil Primordial Spirit... As long as the demonic shadows are not exhausted, the Primordial Spirit will not be extinguished. As long as the Blood Sea does not dry up, the physical body will not die."

"If it is said that a cultivator refining a Primordial Spirit means the soul transforms into a Primordial Spirit, refining the fragile soul first into a Yin Spirit that can walk in the dark and not fear external damage, then a bit of pure Yang is born in the Yin Spirit, refined into a Yang Spirit that is no different from the physical body, and finally a bit of immortal golden nature is pointed out, making the Primordial Spirit immortal and indestructible, achieving the True Immortal Dao."

"Then the Blood Demon's Primordial Spirit is a Yin Spirit that devoured countless living souls, nurtured by the evil intent of the Blood Sea Demonic Body that accommodates endless life. These living souls fuse into a Yin Spirit based on the Blood Sea Demonic Body. This kind of Yin Spirit does not rely on the immortal and indestructible golden nature to live long, but relies on that endless and evil vitality, just like a meatball that constantly expands and has immortal recovery power. The Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword cannot slay the Primordial Spirit of a True Immortal, but it can slay the Blood Demon's Primordial Spirit, yet he will constantly recover."

"Finally, True Person Yingfeng calculated that he would have to continuously slay the Blood Demon's Primordial Spirit three thousand times to thoroughly kill its immortal demonic body and Primordial Spirit."

"So... the seven seniors decided to seal it up!" Seeing Yan Shu said solemnly.

Zhou Qi nodded and said: "Yes, by borrowing the poisonous fire of the earth's lungs from the earth aperture of Heavenly Tian Shafeng to constantly burn the Blood Demon's Blood Sea Demonic Body. Then, by using the pure earth evil yin pulse of Heavenly Tian Shafeng to constantly blow the soul-destroying wind to wear down the yin quality of the Primordial Spirit. Originally, this was one of the calamities of the Yin Spirit undergoing tribulation. The Blood Demon's Primordial Spirit had not yet transformed into pure Yang, so as the yin quality was worn away, it would gradually weaken."

"But because of this, the Blood Demon has been subjected to the wind tribulation for two thousand years. The yin quality in the Primordial Spirit has faded, and although it is weak now, the Primordial Spirit has already revealed a bit of pure Yang! It is equivalent to the Yang Spirit realm."

"This time, the Blood Demon's demonic body and Primordial Spirit have both weakened to the extreme, which is also the only chance to truly slay him!" Zhuge Qingyun wrote furiously: "As long as we slay him one more time, the Blood Demon will truly die and disappear!"

Seeing Yan Shu said solemnly: "Since the Blood Demon has already shed his yin quality and achieved the Yang Spirit, the magic tools that could slay his Primordial Spirit before may no longer be effective. A cultivator at the Yang Spirit level has already initially cultivated an immortal Primordial Spirit, and ordinary spells can hardly harm his life. In the universe, the means to slay a Yang Spirit, besides spells like heavenly tribulation divine thunder, the Nine Great True Fires, the Nine Great Divine Lights, etc., only flying swords at the magic treasure level are best at slaying Yang Spirits!"

"The Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword is the only magic tool at the magic treasure level among the seven demon-slaying magic tools, and it is precisely a flying sword."

Zhou Qi sighed: "So the Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword has always been carefully preserved by the righteous path... True Person Yiye bringing it here this time also didn't expect that the Blood Demon actually had such a cunning accomplice!"

"Monk Xiang You's Great Liberation Demonic Blade could also slay Yang Spirits, so when the Blood Demon was being rubbed on the ground, he didn't even dare to show his head," Qian Chen recalled in his heart.

"Therefore, when we lack the means to slay a Yang Spirit, the first attack is only to severely injure the Blood Demon, making him even weaker, so that it will be convenient for us to take back the Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword." Qian Chen pondered for a moment and said: "Yan Shixiong Zhou Qi, if the Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword cannot be taken back, is there any other way to resist the demonic calamity?"

Zhou Qi was silent for a long time before sighing: "There is still a way... but the price is too tragic!"

…………………………

The Demon-Fixing Treasure Mirror's divine light locked onto the Blood Demon's Primordial Spirit. At this time, Ning Qingchen had already sprinkled the Demon-Refining Taiyin Zhenhuo. The white spirit flames ignited that sea of blood mist, and the boundless blood mist rolled wildly, like the surging waves of the sea... It is conceivable that in the Blood Demon's heyday, this piece of blood mist must have been a real sea of blood, with countless demonic shadows shuttling through it. Just one pounce would take away people's essence, blood, and soul, turning them into part of the Blood Sea.

At that time, the Blood Demon only needed to submerge those spirit mountain peaks with his huge true body to refine everyone inside.

The Demon-Refining Taiyin Zhenhuo burned a large area of fire sea, scorching the blood mist. At this time, the Blood Demon's Primordial Spirit was completely exposed, as if it only needed one strike from the Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword to thoroughly slay it.

But the Blood Demon laughed wildly: "So what if you killed those four pieces of trash and snatched these six magic tools? Without the Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword, you still can't kill me!"

"Is that so?" Qian Chen said calmly: "Who was it that, when facing a certain 'piece of trash', was beaten so badly that he didn't even dare to show his head?"

"Times change!" The Blood Demon's voice suddenly deepened: "And, I have to thank you for suppressing me for two thousand years, which allowed me to pass the tribulation, Yang-ify my Primordial Spirit, and advance further. Have you ever thought that when those seven people suppressed me back then, was it me who was intentionally suppressed by them, just to advance further?"

The expressions of Zhuge Qingyun and Zhiqiu both changed. This was what they were worried about.

If all of this was a scheme by the Blood Demon back then, then what was the meaning of the sacrifices made by the Seven Heroes to subdue the Blood Demon, and the sword immortals and strange people of this world to resist the demonic calamity?

Qian Chen said leisurely: "How you schemed is not important. If you are slain by us today, any scheme is a joke. If you can escape, it's not too late to slowly propagate the story you just made up!"

"Now these few magic tools are about to be unable to control me! What other way do you have to slay me?" The Blood Demon laughed wildly while carefully guarding against Master Miaokong.

Qian Chen raised his head and asked: "Ning Ning Shimei Si... are you ready!"

Si Qingguo took out all her strength, gritted her teeth and said: "It will be ready immediately!"

"Yan Yan Shixiong Yan, Yan Shixiong Sister Ning, Yan Shixiong Zhou, hold on a little longer!"

Her whole body's magic power was constantly poured into the white jade seal in her palm, while she constantly pasted various talismans on it. By the time the most powerful talismans in her hand covered the jade seal with a full layer, Si Qingguo had already exhausted all her magic power, and even used the seventh-rank outer pill that Seeing Yan Shu had lent her. The power of the jade seal finally reached its extreme.

Si Qingguo gritted her silver teeth and roared: "Pingyang... Merit Seal!"

The milky white jade seal floated above her head, turning as huge as a small mountain. The evil-breaking golden light flowed on the jade seal, and the vermilion seal script at the bottom was like insect-eaten cloud seals, with mountains and rivers winding and rivers tilting eastward, depicting mysterious traces of the Great Dao. When the jade seal pressed down, the seal script connected the surrounding earth veins...

Heavenly Tian Shafeng had already split and collapsed, but at this moment, the jade seal replaced Heavenly Tian Shafeng.

Under the connection of the earth veins, a mountain as heavy as Heavenly Tian Shafeng really pressed down toward the Blood Demon.

The rolling Blood Sea was broken by the evil-breaking golden light on the golden seal. Among the messy talismans pasted on it, several exploded with powerful magic power, bombarding the sea of blood mist... As the blood light boiled, the jade seal finally pressed down slowly.

"No..." The Blood Demon seemed to have sensed something. He rushed upward violently, wanting to escape the triple restraint of the silver ring, golden needle, and mirror light.

After Si Qingguo's magic seal left her hand, she didn't need to spend energy to maintain it.

She looked at the Blood Demon's desperate appearance and suddenly turned back and said: "Yan Yan Shixiong Qian, why don't we just suppress him with the Pingyang Merit Seal like this! With this magic treasure suppressing him, even if we give him another two thousand years, he won't be able to escape. At worst, I won't use this magic treasure for the time being."

Qian Chen shook his head slightly: "I came to this world not just to suppress a Blood Demon."

Qian Chen stared at Master Miaokong and revealed a faint smile: "Ning Ning Shimei, just suppress the Blood Demon for the time being... leave the rest to me!"

The jade seal pressed down, and the blood mist sea shook, at least another fifty percent was scattered.

The Blood Demon was suppressed under the jade seal. Because he wasn't pressed into the lungs of the earth, he still had some room to breathe. It was just that the magic treasure Si Qingguo brought was a magic seal focused on suppression. If it were a treasure of slaughter, Qian Chen and the others might not have had to rack their brains to scheme. But for a treasure of slaughter, the magic power requirement to use it was greater, and Si Qingguo might not have been able to use it.

Perhaps Qian Chen would have had to lend out the Cold Moon Ice Soul Core to have the power of a single strike.

But Qian Chen had other ideas. He always remembered that his enemy was not just the Blood Demon, but also Master Miaokong.

Qian Chen went straight to the fissure opening where Master Miaokong was. Their eyes met, and the fated duel was about to come again.
