Chapter 193: Palace Master, Are We Really Over?
RUMBLE!
The Purgatory Furnace revolved at high speed, and soon, everything calmed down. The sword wind emitted by the Sword of the Spiritual Treasure, despite its strength, was quickly melted. It then transformed into pure Spiritual Qi and was rapidly absorbed.
BUZZ!
The sword wind piercing Wen Zhixing vibrated and then dissipated. The wound in his chest also healed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, Wen Zhixing had completely recovered.
How can it be so fast! Even Wen Zhixing was surprised by the speed of this assimilation. He had wanted to feign weakness a bit longer, but this was clearly too revealing. He quickly looked ahead. Fortunately, Si Nanyan was fully engrossed in battle and wasn't paying attention to him. Mainly, Si Nanyan hadn't expected Wen Zhixing's vitality to be so incredibly robust. He's completely fine after a hit like that? Even I would have struggled to withstand that blow.
That was close. Wen Zhixing secretly gathered a sword wind, quietly stabbed it into his own chest, and then lay back down where he was. Good. Everything has returned to how it was. Now is not the time for me to make a move. Let Si Nanyan and the Stealing Daytime and Changing Daytime Demon Sovereign continue to... fight.
But has my Purgatory Furnace really become this powerful? Wen Zhixing pondered again as he lay there. The Purgatory Furnace was formidable before. After all, it was a Divine Ability of Purple Quality, but its speed was somewhat slow when melting high-quality items.
[The more Spiritual Instruments melted, the stronger the Purgatory Furnace becomes.]
[The stronger your Spiritual Qi, the stronger the Purgatory Furnace becomes.]
The panel prompts helpfully appeared.
That's right. After all, it has absorbed so many Spiritual Instruments. Wen Zhixing nodded silently as he looked at the panel prompts. Apart from a small fraction, the Purgatory Furnace had absorbed more than half of the Spiritual Instruments in the Wonderous Palace. Moreover, with his cultivation of the Nine-turns Sun Sutra reaching the Third Turn, the source Spiritual Qi within him was also growing stronger.
It's all thanks to the Longevity Body; otherwise, I'm afraid to think how many times I would have died by now. Wen Zhixing felt secretly grateful. The Revival of the Withered Tree he initially unlocked was too crucial. One could say his life was a gift from the Revival of the Withered Tree. Even though the Revival of the Withered Tree had evolved into the Longevity Body, Wen Zhixing still occasionally thought of it. So grateful! He still felt a little nostalgic for those early days.
While Wen Zhixing lay there lost in thought, he also watched Si Nanyan and the Stealing Daytime and Changing Daytime Demon Sovereign. At this moment, Si Nanyan was clenching her teeth, preparing her final blow.
CLANG!
The sound of a sword rang out as a dazzling light shone. The Sky Blue Sword hovered in the void, as pristine as a bright moon, radiating a chilling aura. This was her last sword strike. After this, she would have no strength left. This strike would decide the victor!
"Si Nanyan, this Demon Lord holds no grudge against you. Must you truly become sworn enemies with me?" Feeling the terrifyingly strong sword intent, Mu Yunqing's eyes snapped open, and he spoke coldly. This wasn't Mu Yunqing resurrected; the Stealing Daytime and Changing Daytime Demon Sovereign had already inhabited his body. However, completely possessing it still required some time.
"You should ask yourself that," Si Nanyan replied emotionlessly, still clenching her teeth as she urged the Sky Blue Sword onward. If not for the fear of disrupting her technique, she would have cursed aloud. I didn't want to fight either! But unknowingly, I was dragged into this mess by that detestable Wang Shouzhen. It was the same for the Stealing Daytime and Changing Daytime Demon Sovereign. In other words, Wen Zhixing had tricked them both.
"Hmph! I'm trying to be reasonable, but you insist on being difficult!" "Mu Yunqing's" expression was rigid, but his tone was chilling. He, an unmatched Demon Lord, was repeatedly slighted by two juniors!
The next moment, powerful Devil Qi surged from his body, forming strange black symbols that resonated with the cold light emanating from the Sky Blue Sword. Tens of thousands of black talismans appeared above Mu Yunqing's head. Each talisman was jet-black, possessed an eerie aura, and wriggled as if alive, even emitting low, hoarse sounds.
These talismans are... puppets! Si Nanyan's eyes widened slightly at the sight. This is bad! The Stealing Daytime and Changing Daytime Demon Sovereign is about to succeed in his possession. I have to act now! She had only heard of such techniques in legends, yet now she was witnessing them again. Once the possession succeeded, the Stealing Daytime and Changing Daytime Demon Sovereign would have even more methods at his disposal.
"Die!" Si Nanyan shouted fiercely.
SWOOSH!
The Sky Blue Sword slashed through the void, carrying a cold and severe sword intent as it cleaved towards the Stealing Daytime and Changing Daytime Demon Sovereign.
CRACK!
The Sky Blue Sword easily pierced the radiant barrier that had been blocking its path.
The Stealing Daytime and Changing Daytime Demon Sovereign narrowed his eyes at this. This sword is indeed interesting.
The next moment, the countless eerie black talismans transformed into a shield before him. As it was shattered, more talismans leaped up to continue the blockade. These talismans, regenerating endlessly, finally blocked the sword strike.
"Little girl, do you really think a mere Sword of the Spiritual Treasure can kill this Demon Lord?" The corner of the Stealing Daytime and Changing Daytime Demon Sovereign's mouth lifted slightly, his expression no longer rigid. Clearly, the possession was almost successful. This is how it is now. If it were the past, I could have snapped such a Sword of the Spiritual Treasure with ease!
"Impossible!" Si Nanyan's pupils shrank abruptly, a trace of panic flashing across her face. My Sky Blue Sword... was blocked...
