Against the Gods Chapter 836: The Devil in the Sword



Xuanyuan Wentian put the hand holding the sword behind his back and stretched out his other hand to Fen Juechen, saying leisurely, "Master Demon, I have seen the complete surprise you brought me. It is time to end this game."

Fen Juechen: “???”

Xuanyuan Wentian's strange action and strange words did not receive any response. The Heavenly Sin Divine Sword was held in Fen Juechen's hand, emitting a strong black light.

Xuanyuan Wentian slowly clenched his outstretched hand, his brows drooped, and his voice, which seemed to be talking to himself, suddenly became a little colder: "Master Demon, what do you mean by this? Have you forgotten who spent a thousand years of hard work to remove all the seals placed on you by the Eternal Night Royal Family!? And who did not hesitate to alarm the entire continent and plan a magic sword conference to remove the last evil god seal on you! Now that you have got what you wanted... Could it be that you are going to be ungrateful and abandon this sword master and submit to this brat!"

"What are you talking about!?" Fen Juechen said with gritted teeth.

“Hmph!” Still without a response, Xuanyuan Wentian received the sword behind him and it lit up again: “It seems that there has been a small accident. In this case, the way of playing the game will have to be slightly changed. Fen Juechen, your strength has indeed increased greatly, but with your current strength, you want to kill this sword master... it’s a foolish dream!”

Clang!!

The thin sword in Xuanyuan Wentian's hand trembled softly, and with a flash of white light, the tip of the sword had already pierced Fen Juechen's face. This time, Xuanyuan Wentian took the initiative to draw his sword, and although this sword seemed ordinary, it condensed his unreserved full strength.

The sword body was straight, but the energy of heaven and earth within a ten-mile space around it was completely stirred, boiling like boiling water.

Fen Juechen roared and swung his sword. Every time he swung his sword, the sky would darken and the world around him would be filled with endless gloom and hatred.

Snap! !

The space shattered, and countless space fragments flew out like jets of steel needles, piercing and cutting everything they touched. The two men slowed down at the same time, and then exploded at the same time, the blazing sword light and the gloomy black light collided violently in the air, causing a series of thunder-like explosions.

Fen Juechen's face was as evil as a ghost, and the Heavenly Sin Sword, which was boiling with black energy, was blasted out with all its might. Each sword condensed his most extreme hatred, and each sword was intended to directly blast Xuanyuan Wentian into pieces. Dark profound energy was originally the negative form of profound energy. The stronger Fen Juechen's murderous intent and hatred were, the stronger the destructive power of dark profound energy would be.

He almost completely ignored the sword light coming from Xuanyuan Wentian, fighting for his life with every strike of his sword like a madman… He did the same thing during the battle with Yun Che in the East China Sea a few months ago.

The overwhelming murderous aura and dark energy suppressed Xuanyuan Wentian. The black energy on the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword continued to intensify. When it was swung, the gloomy sound of breaking through the air was like countless ghosts crying.

Xuanyuan Wentian was retreating step by step, looking completely suppressed, and the aura of profound energy on his body was far inferior to the dark aura on Fen Juechen's body. But his face was as calm as dead water.

“Ughhhhh!!”

Fen Juechen roared like a hungry wolf again, and the Heavenly Sin Sword, with the aura of a demon god, destroyed all the sword beams and hit Xuanyuan Wentian's head directly.

But this time, Xuanyuan Wentian did not avoid the sharp edge as he did before. He raised his eyes slightly, and an extremely strong and cold sword intent appeared across the sky. In an instant, the thin sword in his hand suddenly spit out a sword light of a hundred feet, as bright and dazzling as a cold star in the dark night, and then slashed towards the black light falling from the sky.

Snap! Boom—

After the thunder, there was a loud noise like the collapse of the sky. The two peak powers of the Sovereign Profound Realm collided head-on, and the power of the explosion of profound energy instantly turned the world of dozens of miles into a complete vacuum. The bright white sword light and black energy shattered in the air, and Xuanyuan Wentian and Fen Juechen were both shocked hundreds of feet away.

puff……

Fen Juechen stopped moving and shook his body, then violently spat out a large mouthful of blood. Although most of Xuanyuan Wentian's sword energy was offset by his strength, about 10% of the power still broke through his profound defense and rushed into his body, causing him to be injured both inside and outside.

On the other hand, although Xuanyuan Wentian and Fen Juechen were thrown away by the same distance, his face remained normal and he did not look injured at all. Only a small part of his sleeve was swallowed by the dark devil's aura.

Fen Juechen's power grew explosively in a short period of time, seemingly reaching a level that could rival Xuanyuan Wentian. But in this collision, his weaknesses were fully exposed.

If one's own profound strength surged due to some kind of opportunity, then one must calm down and devote all one's energy to building a solid foundation and consolidating it for a period of time. This could be considered common sense in the profound way. Just like how Yun Che used the Overlord Pill to increase the profound strength of all the disciples of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, he personally ordered all the disciples to devote all their energy to building a solid foundation for at least the next month, and not to practice any profound skills.

Yun Che’s strength had also experienced several explosive increases, but he had the body of the Dragon God and the power of the Wild God as his foundation, and despite several explosive increases in strength, his body had never been unable to adapt to the strength.

But Fen Juechen was different. His desire for revenge was too strong, and his power grew too violently. The most direct consequence was that his control over this power was extremely unstable, and his body had only been bearing this power for a short time, so it had not yet been tempered to a strength that matched the level of profound strength. As a result, he could be compared to Xuanyuan Wentian in terms of strength, but his defensive ability was far inferior.

Thus, the two endured the same intensity of profound energy explosion, Xuanyuan Wentian was basically unharmed, but Fen Juechen was seriously injured. Compared to being injured, the more serious consequence was that he lost control of the power in his body even more due to the injury. Whether it was his internal energy or the boiling black energy in his body, there were obvious signs of chaos.

Xuanyuan Wentian was not surprised at all by Fen Juechen's sudden change in state. He pointed his sword forward and swung it. The spatial fragments spun like flying knives, forming hundreds of spatial vortices of varying sizes.

Fen Juechen was panting heavily, his breath was in chaos. Facing Xuanyuan Wentian’s sword, he was unable to gather enough strength in such a hurry. With a loud “boom”, the black light exploded, and Fen Juechen flew out. Dozens of blood flowers burst out of his body, and his blood was churning in his body. The restless dark devil energy was like a mad beast that escaped his control and rampaged in his body. He stopped and tried desperately to catch his breath, but he couldn’t suppress it for a long time.

“Haha,” Xuanyuan Wentian was laughing. He said calmly, “One thousand eight hundred years ago, this sword master was able to break through and became an emperor at the age of one hundred and seventy-three. Two hundred and eighty years later, he reached the sixth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm… which was your realm when we met last time. It took this sword master a full one thousand five hundred years to go from the sixth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm to today’s realm of strength. And it only took you nineteen days.”

"What a terrible thing."

"It's a pity that although your strength is not inferior to mine, you are still more than a thousand years behind me!"

Before Xuanyuan Wentian finished speaking, his figure suddenly became illusory, and a force that completely suffocated Fen Juechen enveloped him from above.

Fen Juechen's eyes were bloodshot, and with a roar, the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword rolled up a huge wave of darkness and smashed into the sky... But he only swung the sword halfway when he heard a loud bang in his ears, and his arms instantly lost consciousness. The whole person flew out like duckweed, the black air on his body dissipated, and the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword also flew out of his hand.

Xuanyuan Wentian was the number one swordsman in the Profound Sky Continent, but that did not mean his abilities were only focused on swordsmanship. As one of the four people in the Profound Sky Continent who had reached the pinnacle of the Sovereign Profound Realm, a stream of his profound energy that did not contain any profound skills could overturn seas and destroy mountains.

Xuanyuan Wentian, who had blasted Fen Juechen away, did not chase after him. Instead, he stretched out his hand and sucked the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword that was flying high into the sky into his own hand.

He grasped the sword and looked at the hilt, his eyes narrowed into a very thin slit: "Master Demon, now, you should have something to say to me."

The Heavenly Sin Divine Sword was shrouded in black mist, and it trembled slightly as Xuanyuan Wentian questioned it… and at this moment, a huge tearing force came from the sword. Xuanyuan Wentian was not fully prepared, and the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword flew out of his hand, then swept a dark straight line and fell back into the hands of its owner.

Fen Juechen's body was covered in blood, his hands tightly grasping the Heavenly Sin Sword, his eyes were as sinister as a devil's. His tattered black robe was puffed up, and his black hair was all flying, fluttering in the rising black air.

Xuanyuan Wentian was surprised at how quickly he recovered his mobility. What surprised him even more was that the black energy on his body had become even thicker, and the eerie aura was even stronger than before. Although he had been severely injured and his aura was in chaos, he was like a demon god that had suddenly awakened from the Netherworld, and had returned to his sight with terrifying darkness and murderous aura!

Xuanyuan Wentian’s pupils shrank slightly… This is the power of the devil at the highest level! ?

Xuanyuan Wentian suddenly felt uneasy and did not dare to hesitate. He pointed the sword in his hand at Fen Juechen. Mysterious energy gushed out from the tip of the sword and it pierced in front of Fen Juechen in an instant.

This sword directly opened up a space tunnel, truly crossing the space.

Puff!!!

This sword explains what it means to be the number one swordsman in the Tianxuan Continent!

Fen Juechen, who was like an awakened demon god, did not react at all to the sword and was stabbed in the chest... But the sword did not pass through his heart, but released countless sword beams that pierced into Fen Juechen's body.

The black gas that had just risen again quickly sank and dissipated. Fen Juechen's pupils dilated, blood gushed out of his seven orifices, his body slowly leaned backward, and then fell straight down from the air like a lifeless sculpture, smashing onto the disaster-stricken land below, and there was no movement anymore.

Xuanyuan Wentian retracted his arm and then let out a slight breath.

"It seems that the power of the devil cannot be understood by common sense at all." Xuanyuan Wentian said in a low voice. Fen Juechen's previous state made him feel quite frightened.

At Fen Juechen's side, a black shadow rose into the sky... This time, the Heavenly Sin Sword actually came to Xuanyuan Wentian on its own initiative. Xuanyuan Wentian looked at it and said calmly, "Master Demon, your previous silence... I hope you are not going to betray your thousand-year promise!"

In the black mist, a pair of narrow demonic eyes slowly opened at the hilt of the sword. A sinister and hoarse voice rang out in Xuanyuan Wentian's mind: "Of course not. It's just that the situation is different from what I expected... completely different!"

"Different?" Xuanyuan Wentian's brows twitched: "What's going on?"

"He awakened the power of the devil blood in his body through me, and I was gradually revived and reborn through the nourishment of the devil blood. But just when I was about to destroy his soul, I found that his willpower was extraordinarily terrifying... Not only did I fail, but I was defeated and became his puppet!" The devil soul in the sword roared unwillingly.

“What!?” Xuanyuan Wentian’s face darkened.

"Now, not only is it impossible for me to take his devil blood, but I can only rely on him to survive and cannot resist his orders. If he dies, my devil soul that has just begun to revive will also be completely destroyed! If you hadn't injured him and made him unconscious, I wouldn't even be able to send a message to you!"

Xuanyuan Wentian’s face turned dark, and his finger bones made a “crackling” sound. The corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a hideous and twisted smile: “So, not only have my thousand years of hard work been completely wasted, but I have also made wedding clothes for others…”

"No," the evil spirit in the sword suddenly changed its tone at this moment: "It's not that there is no chance at all. There is another way. The power that method can bring you is much stronger than simply obtaining the devil's blood. But it is also much more dangerous. It depends on whether you... dare to take the risk!"
