When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 978 It Won't Be Far Away

"Draw the Lady's Sword and the Gentleman's Sword?"

Not only was Bu Yao surprised, but Jiang Yuan was also dumbfounded. Judging from the tone of the Lord of Longhuang Mountain, it seemed that he was also going to get involved.

"That's right! Draw the Lady's Sword and the Gentleman's Sword, and revitalize Blue Hidden Divine Mountain! Revitalize the Holy Demon Clan!" said the Mountain Lord of Longhuang excitedly.

"Us?" Bu Yao still wanted to confirm.

"Yes, when Ancestor Jianlan and Ancestor Jianyin passed away, they left two swords on the summit of the Divine Mountain. Later, the origin of the Divine Mountain entered the Bloodline Space, and the two swords also entered the Bloodline Space!" said the Lord of Longhuang Mountain.

"Where are those two swords?" Jiang Yuan asked tentatively.

"The twelfth floor!" Lord Longhuang pointed upwards.

"Lord Longhuang Mountain, why did you choose us?" Bu Yao had been in Lan Yin Divine Mountain for so long and had never heard of such a thing.

"Because you are husband and wife. The Gentleman's Sword and the Lady's Sword require two people to be of one mind and possess the talent and character worthy of them! I have seen you support each other through thick and thin, and the bloodlines of the entire bloodline space highly approve of you. You must be the people with the best chance of drawing the two swords!" Lord Longhuang explained.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Xu Yao: "..."

Both of them were secretly grumbling to themselves, "This old man is spying on us! Doesn't that completely expose our flirting?"

"Think about it. Once you get both swords, the Blue Hidden Divine Mountain's position will be unshakeable!" said the Mountain Lord of Longhuang.

“Okay, we can give it a try!” Bu Yao agreed.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you on the twelfth floor!"

With a whoosh, the Lord of Longhuang Mountain disappeared without a word, as if afraid that Bu Yao and the others would regret it.

"He left so fast!" Jiang Yuan was annoyed. This guy appeared like a ghost and disappeared like a ghost. He seemed unreliable no matter how you looked at him.

"Jiang Yuan, can you..."

Bu Yao's eyes held hope, but she also felt uneasy, because if Jiang Yuan helped her, he would be indirectly helping the Holy Spirit Clan, and helping the Holy Spirit Clan would make him a traitor to the human race.

“I’ll help!” Jiang Yuan didn’t hesitate. He saw through Bu Yao’s thoughts and explained, “These two swords will be drawn by you sooner or later. Rather than letting someone else wield them, I’d rather you do. At least you have the heart of a strong person and won’t slaughter the innocent!”

Bu Yao felt a mix of emotions.

"Let's go, let's postpone the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land for now, let's go take a look at these two swords first!" Jiang Yuan took the initiative to pull Bu Yao towards the eleventh floor.

Both of them are very talented. Although it took them a while to get to the eleventh floor, they managed to get through it without any major incidents!

Then there are twelve floors!

The fact that the teleportation array was placed on the tenth floor shows that the last two floors are extremely special, especially the last floor, which uses a talent stone instead of a spirit-absorbing stone.

Only those with exceptional talent can traverse this path, and the pace is extremely slow. Fortunately, the two individuals possessed exceptional talent and climbed upwards step by step.

"Alas, I have guarded this place for five hundred years and have seen thousands, if not tens of thousands, of Daoist partners, but no one has ever been able to budge the two swords even an inch! Even the Holy Lord and the Demon Lord tried before but failed. I wonder if these two little ones can succeed!"

On the twelfth floor, the Lord of Longhuang Mountain was watching two figures climbing upwards, muttering to himself, "But is this guy the Demon Lord? Could it be that that bastard Mo Luo has been reincarnated again! And even reincarnated into my Holy Spirit Clan? That doesn't make sense either. Even if he was reincarnated, he should know me. And how come he's dating Bu Jiuyou's daughter? Our former mortal enemy has now become son-in-law. Something just doesn't make sense!"

If Jiang Yuan knew that the Lord of Longhuang Mountain knew the Demon Lord, he would probably have been so frightened that he would have retreated immediately, not daring to linger! However, the bloodline space and the battlefield were still information-isolated, so the Lord of Longhuang Mountain was destined to be unaware of the story between the Demon Lord and Jiang Yuan. Of course, Jiang Yuan also didn't know that Bu Yao's father was related to the Demon Lord. Not to mention Jiang Yuan, even Bu Yao herself didn't know, after all, the Lord of Longhuang Mountain was a figure from five hundred years ago, an era when Bu Jiuyou and the Demon Lord might have only just embarked on their cultivation journey.

"Can it hold on?" Bu Yao looked at Jiang Yuan with concern.

Upon reaching this point, Jiang Yuan's speed noticeably decreased; after all, he was a broken body and could not compare to Bu Yao.

"You go first, I'll be right there!"

Jiang Yuan was actually on the verge of death, but he had one last gamble: the Demon God Rune.

Judging from the scene of devouring the void bat just now, the Demon God Mark clearly contains something he has not yet discovered.

"activation!"

This time, he not only activated the Demon God Rune within his body, but he also integrated divine energy and the Heaven-Mending Soul into it. His persistent problem has been that his soul, physical body, and divine energy are outwardly united but inwardly separate, with each of the three systems operating independently and never unified. However, as long as he can unify the three, his realm will be completely stabilized.

He channeled all the demonic runes he could muster into his dantian, then added his only eternal divine power, and finally, the Heaven-Mending Soul.

When the Soul of Mending Heaven took effect, Jiang Yuan felt dizzy and lightheaded. This was because the Soul of Mending Heaven was the main body of his soul. Once it was gone, the consciousness he had stored in the Soul of Mending Heaven would also quickly dissipate. Therefore, using the Soul of Mending Heaven was very risky for him, but he had no choice but to do it. If he could not take the step of fusion, he would always be in this inhuman and ghostly state.

Buzz!

Dramatic changes occurred in his dantian, and the demonic runes began to penetrate and nourish his celestial soul, initiating the first step of fusion. This entire fusion process was completed with the assistance of eternal divine energy, achieving a true trinity.

Everything was extremely dangerous, but fortunately, Jiang Yuan had previously used balance to break through the 10,000-point spiritual barrier, so he completed the seemingly impossible operation one by one with his skillful tightrope walking.
