Chapter 590: The Divine Weapon Emerges, Ten Thousand Daos Without Limit

Inside the Sword Pool.

Xiongba and Bu Jingyun were both covered in wounds and drenched in blood, fighting like wild beasts.

Xiongba in particular revealed his most ferocious state. A mere Bu Jingyun had already reduced him to such a wretched plight, and that Mo Baisuzhen, who had once woven dreams for him, would surely be even more terrifying.

He knew in his heart that this was a desperate situation with little hope of survival, yet he did not abandon hope, determined to exhaust his last ounce of strength to fight his way out of the encirclement.

And within the Sword Pool, besides Xiongba, Bu Jingyun, and the coldly watching Mo Baisuzhen, there was another group of people: Tie Shen, Tie Kuangtu, Zhong Mei, and other sword smiths.

The group of sword smiths looked at the Peerless Divine Weapon in the Jianlu, all revealing expressions of excitement.

As smiths, being able to forge such a divine weapon capable of being passed down for a thousand ages was naturally an honor, and even if they were to die immediately, they would have no regrets.

Just at this moment.

An arm flew into the Jianlu.

The originally somewhat withered blue-white flames now turned crimson, and as if oil and firewood had been added, they surged outward, the firelight reaching the heavens. Within the flames, several sword smiths seemed to hear a cry, and even more so, seemed to see a phoenix soaring in the fire, then crashing headlong into the Peerless Divine Weapon.

"Good, I imagine that is the phoenix blood that Yu Chengzhu spoke of. With the phoenix blood to harmonize it, this Peerless Divine Weapon will finally reach a state of perfection." Zhong Mei's eyes shone, gazing at the supreme divine weapon in the flames, infatuated and entranced.

"Hehe, I have forged countless weapons in my life, and I originally thought the Heaven-Defying Battle Armor would be the work I was most proud of and had spent the most effort on. I never expected that in my lifetime, I would be able to forge such a divine weapon." Tie Kuangtu licked his lips, a look of greed suddenly flashing in his eyes. If this divine weapon could be used by him, would he not be invincible across the heavens and the earth?

Once this thought arose, Tie Kuangtu's greed became like the fire of the Jianlu, growing increasingly fierce and uncontrollable. And the gaze he swept toward Tie Dao, Zhong Mei, and the others carried a trace of killing intent.

This group of trash would definitely not be able to stop him.

And those two fellows currently fighting were both suffering from mutual destruction, not worth worrying about.

Only that Mo Baisuzhen...

"Kuangtu."

At this time, Tie Dao suddenly spoke.

"What is it, big brother?" Tie Kuangtu frowned slightly. Five years had passed, and while his relationship with this big brother could not be called hostile, it certainly could not be called good either.

"Come over here, I have something to ask you." Tie Dao said with a grave expression.

Tie Kuangtu walked over.

"Your forging technique is the strongest among us, and I am a bit uncertain. Look, does this divine weapon have a flaw here?" Tie Dao pointed toward a certain spot on the Peerless Divine Weapon.

"How is that possible? This divine weapon is already flawless..." Tie Kuangtu could not help but look in the direction of Tie Dao's gaze.

Yet at this very moment, Tie Dao suddenly struck a powerful palm toward Tie Kuangtu's back.

This palm contained all of his internal energy, and since Tie Kuangtu was caught off guard, he was struck directly, flying toward the furnace while spitting blood.

"Ahhh!

"

How fierce and intense was the fire of the Jianlu.

With Tie Kuangtu's cultivation, he lost his breath in the blink of an eye.

"Tie Dao, you are..."

Zhong Mei and the others wore expressions of astonishment. They had spent several years with Tie Dao and knew of the grievances between the two brothers, but they also knew Tie Dao's character; even if he wanted to kill Tie Kuangtu, he would do it openly and honestly, so how could he use such a base method?

"I asked Kuangtu if this divine weapon had any flaws, and it indeed has a flaw. The flaw is Kuangtu, is me, and is also all of you..." Tie Dao said coldly.

"What do you mean?"

Zhong Mei asked in confusion.

They still recognized Tie Dao's forging skills.

But this Peerless Divine Weapon truly did not have a single flaw; it was truly perfect.

"This is a divine weapon, but also a killing tool. From the moment it is born, it is meant to slaughter all living things. Or rather, knives, swords, staves, and clubs—the birth of any weapon, no matter what flowery language is used to cover it up, is for the sake of killing. And since it is a killing tool, apart from its master, that is, Yu Chengzhu, it should not have the slightest bit of emotion for anyone else..."

Tie Dao's tone was indifferent: "And we, these people, have spent these five years with it day and night, living together, and have spent countless efforts to forge it. Therefore, the divine weapon has decreed that we are its final flaw. Only by sacrificing ourselves to the sword can we forge this strongest, most perfect, most Wuqing, and most resolute divine weapon."

After casting a meaningful look at Zhong Mei and the others, Tie Dao leaped into the sea of fire, was swept up by the flames, and in an instant turned into a pile of ashes.

And after the two brothers Tie Dao and Tie Kuangtu died, this divine weapon, which had already been shining brilliantly, gained an even more unimaginable, cruel killing intent. Cutting off all life, Wuqing and Liaowu.

"It seems Tie Dao's guess was correct."

Zhong Mei's tone carried a bit of sighing. He turned his head to look at the other sword smiths and smiled: "Having worked with you masters for five years, I had intended to have a good drink with you after the divine weapon was forged. It seems that drink can only be had in the underworld."

Having said that, he leaped into the Jianlu.

And the remaining few smiths looked at each other, their faces carrying expressions of relief, and one after another leaped into the Jianlu. In the blink of an eye, they were swallowed by the furnace fire.

To them.

A perfect sword was indeed more important than their own lives.

And during these five years, they had also come to understand Yu Chengzhu's character, knowing that Yu Chengzhu would surely treat their descendants well, and thus they did not hesitate in the slightest to sacrifice themselves to the sword.

With every smith swallowed, the killing intent and sharpness of the Peerless Divine Weapon grew a notch stronger than before. And after the second-to-last smith leaped into the Jianlu, the murderous aura of the Peerless Divine Weapon shot straight into the sky. And after the last smith was swept into the furnace fire, all the light of the divine weapon suddenly retracted inward.

If not for the fact that this divine weapon was still constantly changing its form, one would fear it would be mistaken for a very ordinary weapon.

And it was also at this moment that the originally overcast sky began to rumble with muffled thunder, and wisps of crimson red spread out, shrouding a radius of a hundred miles centered on Baijian Villa.

No one knew when it started.

A light drizzle began to fall.

The light rain soon turned into a torrential downpour, pouring down as if the sky had been torn open, like the Heavenly River spilling over.

And even more terrifying was that this rain was red, as shocking as blood. Under this torrential rain, even the sky was dyed a layer of blood red.

A wild wind howled, and this howling wind sounded like ghosts crying and wailing, making one's whole body go cold, trembling in fear.

"In the past, when the Heaven-Crying Scripture was completed, the heavens wept blood and ghosts and gods were terrified. That divine weapon at Baijian Villa has actually caused the same phenomenon. I do not know if the birth of this divine weapon is a curse or a blessing for all living beings..." A hundred miles away, Ni Pusa also saw this scene and sighed with emotion.

Boom!

A bolt of heavenly lightning struck down.

Causing the blood-colored sky to turn white in an instant.

The thunderbolt instantly shattered the roof above the Jianlu and smashed heavily toward the Peerless Divine Weapon.

The Peerless Divine Weapon, as if possessing a spirit, charged straight toward the thunder, and without anyone wielding it, it actually slashed the thunder apart.

However, the thunder in the sky did not give up; as if the Thunder Pool had been destroyed, dozens, then hundreds of bolts of thunder struck down in unison.

The divine weapon was then grasped by a slender hand, and it conveniently transformed into the shape of a sword.

The divine weapon swung toward the sky, and the Sword Qi, vast and mighty, surged into the heavens, carrying wind and thunder, instantly spreading out over a hundred zhang to collide with the hundreds of thunderbolts.

After a momentary stagnation, the thunder was Broken.

The remaining Sword Qi then ascended into the sky.

Under the stunned gaze of all the martial artists, the dark clouds in the sky were actually slashed open, and a ray of moonlight spilled down, shining upon that black figure.

One could see that person in black robes fluttering, standing with a sword in hand. Transcending the mortal world, looking down upon all living beings.

Yu Liancheng raised his hand, his gaze fixed on the Peerless Divine Weapon that had transformed into the shape of the "Peerless Good Sword," as if murmuring to himself: "Your greatest characteristic is that you are not bound by form, changing in a myriad of ways, and no matter what weapon you transform into, you can unleash the most powerful and absolute strength. From this day forward, you shall be named 'Ten Thousand Daos Boundless'."

As a Peerless Divine Weapon, it had already become sentient.

Seemingly excited because it had a name, it vibrated and hummed in an instant, and the intangible Sword Qi surged to shake the firmament, forcing the dark clouds completely away. And under the spilling moonlight, the four characters "Ten Thousand Daos Boundless" naturally appeared upon the sword's body.

Yu Liancheng cast his gaze down toward Di Shitian and said indifferently: "Old Di, it is time to send you on your way."
