Chapter 617: Divine Blade Recognizes Its Master, Pre-cognition Awakens
It held a giant warhammer in its hand, and every strike could shatter the earth for several miles around.
"And what about this King!"
Another figure flashed into view; it was the ancient Demon god who had awakened his memories—Tun Tian Mo Jun.
Its body shifted and changed like black mist, and everything it passed was swallowed up completely.
"The Primordial weapon, how could it fall into your hands!"
The third awakened ancient god also appeared, and it was none other than the one who controlled lightning, Lei Jie Mozun.
Its entire body was surrounded by purple lightning, and every movement was accompanied by deafening thunder.
Above the ruins, demonic energy surged, and all kinds of divine abilities and spells flew across the sky.
The warhammer of the Lord of Destruction smashed down, causing the earth to split into deep abysses.
Tun Tian Mo Jun opened its mouth and inhaled, swallowing dozens of Shadow Legion warriors directly into its belly.
With a wave of Lei Jie Mozun's hand, purple lightning poured down like raindrops.
The chaotic battle was extremely brutal.
Blood stained the already black earth red, and countless powerhouses fought to the death for this divine artifact.
Although Dark Night Demon King was not weak in strength, facing so many opponents at the level of ancient gods, he could only barely protect himself.
The Blood Fiend Demon General was even more severely injured by a hammer blow from the Lord of Destruction, spitting out blood.
"Damn you guys!" the Blood Fiend Demon General gritted his teeth, "You all want the Hun Dun Demon Blade, then let's see whose fist is harder!"
He burned his own demon core, erupting with his final strength.
Blood-red demonic energy surged from his body like flames, forming a giant blood-colored demon shadow.
"Blood Fiend Heavenly Demon Art, Blood Sea Raging!"
The sea of blood instantly submerged half of the ruins, and countless blood-colored tentacles coiled toward the enemies.
The Lord of Destruction swung his warhammer to resist, but there were too many tentacles, and his hands and feet were soon bound.
"Break for this seat!" the Lord of Destruction roared, and a destructive light erupted from the warhammer.
"Destruction Divine Hammer, All Things Return to Ruin!"
The black hammer shadow smashed toward the sea of blood like a meteor, and everything it passed turned into nothingness.
Seeing this, Tun Tian Mo Jun also unleashed its ultimate technique.
"Swallow Heaven and Devour Earth, All Things Shall Be Eaten!"
Its body instantly expanded to thousands of feet tall, opening a bloody maw to swallow the entire ruin.
Lei Jie Mozun was not to be outdone and summoned a sky full of thunderclouds.
"Ten Thousand Thunders Fire Together, Thunder Tribulation Descends!"
Countless bolts of purple lightning descended from the sky, turning the entire battlefield into an ocean of lightning.
The four great ultimate techniques erupted simultaneously, and the resulting shockwave instantly leveled the ruins to the ground.
Thousands of demon warriors were reduced to ashes in this terrifying attack.
Even those powerful Demon General-level existences were mostly severely injured.
However, just as everyone was locked in an inseparable struggle, the Hun Dun Demon Blade lying in the ruins suddenly underwent a change.
The black blade began to tremble, emitting a faint humming sound.
As the humming sound rose, the Demon Blade slowly flew up from the ground.
The dormant Runes on the blade began to squirm again, emitting a faint black light.
"What?!" All the demons present stopped fighting and looked in shock at the Demon Blade hovering in the air.
What shocked them even more was that the aura emanating from the Demon Blade was not evil demonic energy.
Instead, it was a pure power that was both familiar and strange.
That was the power of light from the Primordial era!
"This is impossible!" Dark Night Demon King cried out, "How could the Hun Dun Demon Blade have the power of light?"
"The Primordial era..." A look of confusion flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Destruction, "This power is very familiar..."
All the Demon gods who had awakened their Primordial memories felt the uniqueness of this power.
It was pure, warm, and full of vitality, completely opposite to the evil demonic energy.
The Hun Dun Demon Blade rotated slowly in the air, as if looking for something.
Suddenly, the tip of the blade pointed to the north, which was the direction in which Lin Xuan and his group had departed.
"It is looking for its master!" Tun Tian Mo Jun realized, "The Hun Dun Demon Blade is looking for its true master!"
As soon as the words fell, the Demon Blade turned into a black light and broke through the air.
Its speed was so fast that even these powerful Demon gods could not catch up.
In the blink of an eye, the Hun Dun Demon Blade disappeared on the northern horizon.
Leaving behind a ground full of corpses and shocked demon powerhouses.
"Damn it! Let it run!" Dark Night Demon King hammered the ground in anger.
"Chase!" The Blood Fiend Demon General stood up, supporting his injuries, "We must not let the Hun Dun Demon Blade fall into the enemy's hands!"
However, they all knew that with the speed the Demon Blade had just shown, catching up to it was almost impossible.
And on the road to Jiuyou Gu, Lin Xuan suddenly felt a heat in his chest.
The Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus emitted a warm Buddha Sect light, as if sensing something.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yisheng noticed the abnormality.
Lin Xuan shook his head.
"I don't know, I just feel like something is approaching us..."
The Gobi Desert of Mo Jie is incomparably desolate.
Not a blade of grass grows on the reddish-brown earth, with only the occasional cold wind blowing up clouds of dust.
Lin Xuan carefully held the unconscious Xiao Yuan, walking forward step by step.
The Buddha Sect light emitted by the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus appeared exceptionally dazzling on this evil land, providing them with weak protection.
Xiao Yisheng walked in front to lead the way, the compass in her hand trembling incessantly.
She looked back from time to time to check on Xiao Yuan's condition, her brows furrowing tighter and tighter.
"Xiao Yuan's aura is growing weaker and weaker," Xiao Yisheng said worriedly, "the medicinal effect of the Life-Extending Pill is about to run out."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan could not help but quicken his pace.
"How much further until we reach Jiuyou Gu?" he asked urgently.
"At our current speed, it will take at least another day and night," Xiao Yisheng looked at the compass, "but I fear Xiao Yuan cannot hold on that long."
Just at this moment, a sharp sound of something piercing through the air suddenly came from the sky.
"Whoosh!"
A streak of black light flew rapidly from the distance, its speed dazzlingly fast.
Lin Xuan vigilantly placed Xiao Yuan behind him, his right hand instantly drawing the Taixuan Divine Sword.
The golden sword light flickered across the Gobi, ready to meet the incoming enemy.
However, when that streak of black light flew closer, Lin Xuan was stunned.
It was actually a Long Sword that was pitch-black all over!
It was exactly the legendary fierce weapon of Taichu Shengdi—the Hun Dun Demon Blade!
The Demon Blade hovered three feet in front of Lin Xuan, the sword body trembling slightly.
It did not emit any malice; instead, it seemed to be expressing some kind of complex emotion.
"This is... the Hun Dun Demon Blade?" Xiao Yisheng opened her eyes wide in shock, "How could it find its way here on its own?"
Lin Xuan was equally full of confusion.
Back at Taichu Shengdi, this Demon Blade had nearly taken their lives.
Yet now, it hovered before them like an obedient pet, completely devoid of hostility.
"What... what is it doing?" Lin Xuan asked cautiously.
Xiao Yisheng observed the Demon Blade carefully, a look of shock gradually appearing in her eyes.
"No! This sword has changed!" she exclaimed, "The evil aura on the sword body has completely vanished!"
It was indeed as she said; the Hun Dun Demon Blade at this moment was like a completely different sword from before.
Those eerily wriggling Rune on the sword body had become calm and peaceful, emitting a faint, holy radiance.
