Chapter 1151: Extradition Envoy

Snort—!!!

Like a red-hot lump of iron thrown into ice water! The Returning Void Sword Core shuddered violently, the grayish‑white Silence Extinction Power and the icy Reincarnation Power clashing wildly, annihilating and merging! The cracks on the sword core were hit by this terrifying force, instantly showing a tendency to expand, bringing heart‑rending, lung‑splitting pain!

But Han Wuxian held on grimly! He remembered the old man's words, using his powerful divine sense to control the Silence Extinction Intent, like the finest hammer, wildly pounding and polishing the sword core, forcibly "forging" the Reincarnation Power into it, while also ruthlessly annihilating and expelling the impurities born of the clash and the previously absorbed chaotic energy through the Silence Extinction nature.

On his body's surface, grayish‑white light and icy Reincarnation gloom flickered alternately, while gray‑black, foul‑smelling impurities and shattered energy residue continually oozed from his pores. The pain surged like a tide, wave after wave stronger than the last, nearly breaking his will completely.

At this moment, time lost its meaning.

No one knew how long had passed—perhaps an instant, perhaps a thousand years.

Under the extreme pain and the guardianship of the star‑fire, the shattered Returning Void Sword Core actually began to undergo a subtle change! The edges of the cracks, under the icy "tempering" of the Reincarnation Power and the repeated hammering of the Silence Extinction Intent, started to slowly heal, becoming tougher and more inwardly restrained! The sword core's color also shifted from its original gray‑white, gradually taking on a hint of deep, dark hue that seemed able to contain reincarnation.

His perception of the Reincarnation Principle also became unprecedentedly clear. Although he could not control it, at least his body began to gradually adapt to this power, and the world's repulsion toward it actually weakened a bit.

However, just as he was entering a favorable state and about to finish the first tempering,

Boom—!!!

From outside, a thunderous roar came from the entrance to this space! The entire subterranean space shook violently!

"You immortal old bastard! Get out of my way! Hand over that junior and the immortal treasure!" The Heaven Slaughter Sect Master's violent roar burst through the rock walls!

"Netherworld Path business—idlers, retreat! Otherwise, body and spirit will be destroyed!" A cold voice echoed as well—it was the black‑robed emissary!

Those two Nascent Soul old monsters actually reached a tacit understanding, joining forces to violently assault the old man's seal, trying to break in!

In the stream, Han Wuxian suddenly opened his eyes; a flash of azure‑gray intertwined light flickered in his gaze and vanished!

The tempering was forced to stop! But now, his inner power surged; though not yet healed, his sword core had already stabilized more than half, and it also took on a hint of the icy cold and toughness of reincarnation!

The earth shook and mountains trembled! The terrifying roar and the roars of the two Nascent Soul old monsters, like death bells, shook the tranquil space beside Wangsheng Creek violently! The rock walls split, rubble rained down, and the calm Reincarnation Water in the stream churned into violent ripples!

The fishing old man's murky eyes suddenly burst with a piercing light; his hitherto gentle aura instantly turned deep as a prison! He sprang upright, his stooped back straightening, and an awe‑inspiring pressure—no weaker than that of the two outsiders, blended with the Wangsheng Creek's Reincarnation Principle—exploded outward!

"Obstinately ignorant!" the old man grunted angrily. Without moving, the gleaming white‑bone fishing rod in front of him suddenly expanded, becoming a massive white‑bone scepter! At its tip, a phantom, endlessly spinning Reincarnation Vortex appeared, exuding a terrifying pull that draws all things to their end! He swung the scepter and jabbed hard toward the entrance!

"Reincarnation Ban: Eternal Shared Sorrow!"

Hum——!

A gray‑white torrent of law, formed from countless wailing soul‑shades, like a breached netherworld river, instantly surged toward the entrance seal under frantic attack! The seal, which had been on the verge of collapse, instantly steadied under this boost—and even shoved the Heaven Slaughter Sect Master and the black‑robed emissary's power violently back!

"Old coot! You're asking for death!" the Heaven Slaughter Sect Master's shocked‑angry roar came, clearly not expecting this seemingly dying old man to possess such strength!

"Attack together, first break this turtle shell!" the black‑robed emissary's voice grew even colder.

Stronger attacks rained down on the seal like a violent storm! The whole subterranean space shuddered like chaff in a sieve—clearly the old man's seal couldn't hold much longer.

In the Reincarnation Creek, Han Wuxian suddenly opened his eyes!

The tempering was forced to stop, and a backlash‑induced pain swept his whole body, yet his eyes burned with unprecedented fighting spirit and icy resolve! Inside him, the Returning Void Sword Core, though not fully completed, had already stabilized more than half; within its gray‑white primordial power a thread of deep, dark reincarnation intent wound around it, making it more condensed and tough! The world's repulsion greatly weakened, and within a hundred‑zhang radius of this place, the surrounding reincarnation environment subtly achieved a delicate balance.

More importantly, his perception of the Reincarnation Principle became exceedingly clear! Though he was far from mastering it, he could already vaguely sense its flowing "context".

Opportunity! This is the only opportunity!

He shot up from the stream like a rocket, kicking up a sky‑full of icy Reincarnation spray! His bare upper torso took on a strange gray‑dark hue; old wounds were not fully healed, but newborn power surged and roared through his veins!

He gripped the bronze lamp—Star‑patrolling Torch—in his left hand! With his right hand he grasped at empty air! The inch‑long gray‑white sword gleam, forged from Returning Void Power and Stellar Sword Intent, reappeared at his fingertips—but this time, a thread of icy, soul‑shuddering Reincarnation gloom wound through the gleam!

Silence Extinction–Yellow Spring Sword Intent!

"Senior! Open the gate!" Han Wuxian let out a low growl, his voice hoarse yet filled with iron‑clad resolve!

The old man, who had been exerting all his effort to maintain the seal, heard the call, his eyes flickered with surprise, then turned resolute! He actually jerked the white‑bone scepter back sharply!

Boom!!!

At the moment the entrance seal lost its support, the combined strike of the two external Nascent Soul experts smashed it to pieces! Violent Blood Slaughter Demonic Essence and gloomy Netherworld Ghostly Qi, like a breached flood, ruthlessly surged into this space!

The Heaven Slaughter Sect Master and the black‑robed emissary appeared like two demon gods—one bloody, one black—brimming with heaven‑topping killing intent, and they charged in together!

"Junior! Die!" the Heaven Slaughter Sect Master locked onto Han Wuxian, who held the Star‑patrolling Torch, in an instant; his Blood Slaughter Giant Palm condensed again and he slammed it down in fury! This time he held nothing back, revealing the terrifying might of his Mid Nascent Soul cultivation in full!

The black‑robed emissary was even more sinister; he did not attack Han Wuxian directly, but flicked his sleeve, sending out countless Soul‑seizing Needles as fine as cowhair, flashing with emerald ghostfire, silently shooting at Han Wuxian's major acupoints and the Star‑patrolling Torch! These needles specialize in damaging soul and spirit, and corrupting magical treasures.

Faced with the deadly encirclement of the two Nascent Soul experts, Han Wuxian's eyes were nothing but icy calm!

He had already calculated everything!
