"How do we bet?" Xuanyuan Wentian asked without any hesitation.
"That is... the blood sacrifice of the magic wheel!"
"Magic Wheel Blood Sacrifice?"
“Just like the magic blood reincarnation technique used on Fen Juechen a thousand years ago, the magic wheel blood sacrifice is a unique forbidden technique of our Eternal Night Demon Clan.” The demon soul in the sword said sinisterly: “This Eternal Night forbidden technique can transform a mortal soul into dark blood, then swallow it into the demon body and obtain all of its vitality and power... Listen carefully, it means everything!”
“……!” Xuanyuan Wentian’s eyes suddenly flickered, and he whispered, “So it means to directly seize all of a person’s life and cultivation? There won’t be any loss!? There is such a terrifying forbidden technique in this world?”
"That's right! How powerful our Eternal Night Demon Clan is, how can you mortals understand it." The Demon Soul in the Sword said proudly: "However, this forbidden technique can only work on mortal spirits, and has no effect on creatures with the power of gods and demons. The initial demons of our Eternal Night Demon Clan occasionally use this forbidden technique to devour mortal spirits to increase their strength. For mature demons, the power of mortal spirits is too small, and the blood of mortal spirits is often accompanied by filth, so they simply disdain to use it. But for Fen Juechen, using the 'Demon Wheel Blood Sacrifice' will make his power increase wildly!"
Xuanyuan Wentian was so smart that he immediately understood what the devil soul in the sword meant: "You mean... let Fen Juechen devour me with the 'Devil Wheel Blood Sacrifice'?"
"That's right!" The devil soul in the sword said in a sinister voice, "Then, your body will completely disappear, and your life essence and cultivation will be completely taken by Fen Juechen! You have seen with your own eyes how powerful Fen Juechen is now. If the power of the two of you is combined, who in this plane can be your opponent? And this is far from as simple as one plus one. The combination of the two of you will inevitably create a qualitative change in power, and directly step into the divine path that you have dreamed of all these years... Remember, it is not possible, but certain!"
Xuanyuan Wentian: “…”
“In addition, the demon blood in Fen Juechen’s body has only awakened initially, and is far from reaching its limit. It will take another half a year to fully awaken. After the two of you merge your powers, you will be invincible, but every day in the next six months, your power will continue to surge. In just a few months, it will grow to a level that you never dared to dream of before - a level that you can’t even understand now!!”
Xuanyuan Wentian’s eyes suddenly radiated a burning, almost crazy light, but his voice remained calm and indifferent: “Master Demon, did you miss the most crucial thing?”
“Hehehe,” the devil soul in the sword laughed sinisterly, “With your intelligence, you should be able to roughly guess what I didn’t mention, which is also the most crucial thing… That’s right! The ‘Devil Wheel Blood Sacrifice’ will devour and fuse life essence and strength, but it will also integrate the soul at the same time! The soul of a mortal spirit is like a firefly in front of the ocean in front of the devil god soul, and will be annihilated in an instant. But Fen Juechen’s situation is completely different from yours! Fen Juechen has a weak devil body and devil soul, and you are a mortal spirit body. He can use the ‘Devil Wheel Blood Sacrifice’ on you, but your soul power is far superior to Fen Juechen’s!”
"Use Fen Juechen's demonic body to perform the 'Demon Wheel Blood Sacrifice' and fuse your life essence and strength. Your flesh and blood body will completely disappear, and at the same time, your soul will enter Fen Juechen's body. What happens next will be very simple. Since your soul strength is far greater than Fen Juechen's, you can easily destroy his soul in turn and become the new owner of his body, thus completely possessing his demonic body with awakened demonic blood, and my demonic soul power can also be used by you!"
"..." Xuanyuan Wentian was silent, then snorted faintly: "I see."
"So, it depends on whether you are willing to sacrifice your own flesh and blood! More importantly, it depends on whether you dare to take the gamble! If you succeed, you will directly step into the divine path of your dreams, and from then on you will be invincible in the world, and you can even be unprecedented in this plane! But if you fail... not only will you lose your flesh and blood, but your soul will also be shattered!"
Xuanyuan Wentian narrowed his eyes slowly, and said in a low voice: "The devil blood in Fen Juechen's body has only been awakened for more than ten days. It is called a 'demon body', but it is a little too weak. Are you sure his 'demon body' can activate that forbidden technique?"
"Hey, of course." The Devil Sword in the Sword said with disdain: "Although the Devil Wheel Blood Sacrifice is a forbidden technique, it is basically a low-level method that only newborn demons can use. The reason why it is listed as a 'forbidden technique' is that it is carried out in the form of devouring the flesh and blood of mortal spirits. If it is used too frequently, it will easily attract the punishment of the heaven. With my current soul power, I have at least a 90% chance of activating his demon body to perform the Devil Wheel Blood Sacrifice once."
"What is the 'if' in 'if I fail, my soul will be torn apart'?" Xuanyuan Wentian asked.
"It's very simple. Your soul is suppressed by Fen Juechen. The consequence is that you will not be able to become the master of the demon body that has integrated all your powers. Instead, Fen Juechen will get everything! And you, both body and soul, will completely disappear from this world. Chatter and chatter..."
The last laugh of the demon soul in the sword seemed like a mockery.
“Hahahahaha!” Xuanyuan Wentian laughed loudly. “My heart and soul have endured two thousand years of tempering. How can a mere Fen Juechen be so worthy of causing my soul to fly to pieces? This is simply a huge joke.”
His voice suddenly stopped, and he said in an unusually calm voice: "Ever since I knew about the existence of Shinto, pursuing Shinto has been my lifelong wish. Now it is right in front of me. Even if the danger is a thousand times greater, I will not frown... Then let's start now! In the face of absolute power, flesh and blood are nothing."
"Chatter, chatter, chatter. Very good. You really won't let me down. I am a remnant soul. I can only survive in the sword. I can never exist independently. I can only rely on others. Although you are only a human, your pursuit of power is crazy. You are qualified to be my driver!"
The devil soul in the sword said in a sinister voice: "The devil wheel blood sacrifice can start at any time, but during this process, you must ensure that Fen Juechen is in a coma. If his will is clear, I will be completely controlled by him, and there is no way to forcibly stimulate his devil blood power... Uh hiss... He... He... woke up..."
The voice of the demon soul in the sword suddenly became weaker and then disappeared completely.
And below, Fen Juechen, whose seven orifices were stained with blood, suddenly opened his dark pupils, and then turned over... But hundreds of sword energies rushed into his body, and his injuries were extremely serious. Before he could stand firmly, he knelt heavily on the ground again, and his whole body trembled in pain.
“Xuan…Yuan…Wen…Tian…” Fen Juechen raised his bloodshot eyes and stared at Xuanyuan Wentian in the air, his every word filled with hatred.
He stretched out his hand, a black light flashed, and the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword made a clanging sound before it flew away from Xuanyuan Wentian's hand and instantly flew back to Fen Juechen's side, slamming diagonally into the dark ground.
Xuanyuan Wentian did not make any move to stop him. He descended from the air and landed in front of Fen Juechen. With a smile on his face, he said admiringly, “After being struck by my Sword of No Return, not only did you not die, you also woke up so quickly. Should I praise your strong will, or admire your extraordinary demonic body?”
“You…” Fen Juechen clenched his teeth, a streak of black blood running down the corner of his lips.
Xuanyuan Wentian didn’t care about his fierce and evil-like gaze at all, and said with a smile: “A thousand years ago, Ye Mufeng’s strength suddenly went out of control and gave me some shocks, but more of a surprise. Unexpectedly, a thousand years later, his son actually gave me an even bigger surprise! Although you want to kill me, do you know how grateful I am to you, Fen Juechen... Oh no, maybe I should call you...”
"Yehuang!"
“Hmm…” Fen Juechen felt as if struck by lightning, and his pupils suddenly expanded to their maximum size.
"Haha, don't look so surprised. I've said it before, I know much more than you think, even more than you know."
Xuanyuan Wentian spread out his hands and looked up at the sky, intoxicated by using his own body to feel the world… because he was about to abandon this body: “It’s still early. After all, this body has been with me for more than two thousand years. At this final moment of farewell, I will tell you an interesting story.”
"About 10,000 years ago, a man accidentally picked up a pitch-black sword. There was an extremely powerful seal on the sword, and a weak soul was sealed in the sword. This soul had been sealed for too many years, and it longed for freedom. However, with its own strength, it was not only impossible to break free from the seal, but would eventually be completely swallowed by the seal. In order to survive, it put aside its dignity and begged for mercy from the person who picked it up, and took the initiative to give him its only drop of demon blood and a powerful profound skill, just hoping that the other party could remove the seal on the sword."
"Hiss..." Fen Juechen was panting heavily.
"The man who picked up the sword agreed to its request, absorbed the drop of devil blood, practiced the profound art, and gained great power. But soon, he felt that his character was affected, so he stopped practicing. He even spent a very long time practicing a blood seal, forcibly sealing his own devil blood. Even his descendants who inherited his bloodline, especially his direct descendants, will be planted with this blood seal the moment they are born."
"And that profound skill, even without the support of devil blood, is still extremely powerful. Relying on that profound skill, a family force that was originally unknown rose rapidly and soon became one of the top profound forces in the entire continent, and was renamed the 'Eternal Night Royal Family'. That profound skill was the famous 'Eternal Night Fantasy God Record' on the continent back then... Oh no, its real name should be called... Eternal Night Fantasy Demon Classic!"
Fen Juechen's painful expression changed again and again, and his pupils shrank violently at Xuanyuan Wentian's voice... These were things he knew only after he obtained Ye Mufeng's residual soul. They were also the absolute secrets of the Eternal Night Royal Family that only the clan leader knew. Why would Xuanyuan Wentian...
Xuanyuan Wentian put his hands behind his back and spoke to himself, “As for that sword… the Eternal Night royal family rose to prominence by relying on the profound arts bestowed by that sword, but they completely violated their original promise. Not only did they not unlock its seal, but they added dozens of powerful seals to the sword and sealed it in the Flame Pool, making it the largest forbidden area for the entire family. No one is allowed to approach it… Tsk tsk, if it weren’t for the gift of that sword, who in the world would know how ungrateful and despicable the Eternal Night royal family is.”
“Such a despicable clan is simply a disgrace to the Xuan Dao, so this sword master will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and make this so-called Eternal Night Royal Family completely disappear from this world. Huh…” Xuanyuan Wentian exhaled lightly, with a smile on his face.
“Xuanyuan Wentian…” Fen Juechen’s eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were about to break: “You are the most despicable and shameless person in the world…”
“Don’t be so excited now,” Xuanyuan Wentian still had a smiling expression on his face, “The disappearance of the Eternal Night Royal Family is not the end, on the contrary, it is just the beginning. Are you curious about why I know all this, why I know what the power in you is, and why I know your other name… Hey.”
"After destroying the Eternal Night Clan, I found an opportunity and simply got the Heavenly Sin Sword and unlocked the seals on it. The demon soul in the sword told me everything, all the secrets, and told me that the demon soul can awaken the demon blood. If all the seals are unlocked, the dying demon soul can be gradually revived through the demon blood. The fusion of demon blood and demon soul will generate a power that cannot be understood in this plane."
"But I knew all this too late. Because the Eternal Night royal family had been wiped out, Ye Mufeng was left with only a strange soul that could never be destroyed, and there was no more demon blood in the world... However, the demon soul in the sword told me one thing. Ye Mufeng had a son named Ye Huang, who died tragically in an extermination. In order to save his dead son, Ye Jianxi, the descendant of Eternal Night, did not hesitate to violate the strict teachings of his ancestors and used the forbidden technique in the 'Eternal Night Fantasy Demonic Codex' to forcibly imprison Ye Huang's soul and all his blood essence that was about to dissipate. He also used 20% of Ye Mufeng's soul as a guide to launch a reincarnation forbidden technique that went against the laws of nature, allowing Ye Huang's soul and blood essence to remain for a long time, and to be reborn through reincarnation under special circumstances... Tsk tsk, it is worthy of being a power at the level of demons. It is really incredible. If I hadn't heard it with my own ears and seen it with my own eyes, even I would not believe that such a heaven-defying technique still exists in this world."
“You…!!” Fen Juechen’s entire body was icy cold, and his blood seemed to be frozen… He couldn’t believe that Xuanyuan Wentian actually knew all this!
what is going on?
At this moment, he already had a terrible feeling. He had always thought that everything he had kept extremely secret, and even he himself could not accept, had he always been under a pair of terrifying eyes...
"Hey, what a wonderful arrangement of fate. Ye Mufeng and Ye Jianxi wanted to leave a trace of blood after the demise of the Yongye royal family, but they also left the last devil blood for this sword master! In the past thousand years, through the guidance of the devil soul in the sword, I have been paying attention to the movements of the devil blood under the reincarnation forbidden technique at any time... Until more than 20 years ago, the last devil blood finally got the opportunity to be reborn in a sect called Burning Heaven Sect in Cangfeng Country, and became the third son of the sect master..."
“Hiss!!” Fen Juechen’s pupils were almost bursting. Every word and every sentence of Xuanyuan Wentian seemed to come from the abyss, causing him to feel an unprecedented fear in his heart.
"Soon, I arranged everything." Xuanyuan Wentian lowered his head and said faintly, "Do you know why Ye Mufeng's residual soul was placed in that place in the Black Evil Country? Because that is the place with the heaviest yin energy in the Tianxuan Continent, and with the Soul Sealing Coffin, it can be guaranteed that Ye Mufeng's residual soul will not dissipate for a thousand years. Then do you know why your grandfather Fen Yi Jue has that key? Hey, I handed it to him personally, and personally gave him a hint of the mind and soul."
"Speaking of which, I originally planned to slaughter all the members of Burning Heaven Sect three years ago, leaving only you, and then let you go to find Ye Mufeng with the key given to you by Fen Yi Jue, driven by hatred. Unexpectedly, Yun Che showed up halfway and made all this happen ahead of time. Fortunately, he slaughtered all the members of Burning Heaven Sect, but left you behind. Although the time was slightly off, the process and the result were not affected at all and remained flawless. After that, you successfully found Ye Mufeng, awakened the memory of Ye Huang, and unexpectedly obtained some of Ye Mufeng's power. After that, what you want to do most must be to take back the Heavenly Sin Sword, because the Heavenly Sin Sword can unlock the devil blood seal in your bloodline, allowing you to surge in power like Ye Mufeng a thousand years ago, so as to take revenge... and this is what I hope to see."
"I used the 'Secret of Shenxuan' as bait to gather all the top masters of Tianxuan and convene the Demon Sword Conference. The purpose was to unlock the final seal of the Heavenly Sin Sword. The Demon Sword Conference was a complete success, and what I have to do next is to let you get the completely unsealed Heavenly Sin Sword. Because the first thing you will do after getting the Heavenly Sin Sword is to awaken the demon blood! And the demon soul in the sword that has escaped the seal can be gradually revived through your demon blood. After recovering enough demon soul power, your demon blood can be forcibly taken back and given to me, so that I can have both the demon blood and the demon soul and possess supreme power... Although the red-clothed witch disrupted everything, she helped me hand over the unsealed Heavenly Sin Sword to you. Hahahaha, these are undoubtedly the rewards of heaven for my persistence for thousands of years." Xuanyuan Wentian laughed.
Bang!
Fen Juechen pounded the ground with his arms. His whole body was shaking and covered in sweat, as if he had collapsed.
Since the destruction of the Burning Heaven Sect, the only thing left in his world was "revenge". For revenge, he took the black key that Fen Yijue gave him before he died, and went to the death land of the Black Evil Nation after a narrow escape... For revenge, he desperately absorbed and integrated the power of Ye Mufeng's magic source, even though the pain of the soul repulsion was like the punishment of hell... For revenge, he risked a great danger and went to the Supreme Sea Palace alone... For revenge, he knew that his will and heart would be distorted, but he still used the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword to awaken the magic blood in his body...
Today, he finally realized that all the hatred, pain, and efforts he had experienced and endured were actually planned and arranged by others!!
And that person was the culprit who caused the destruction of the Eternal Night Royal Family and all his tragedies...the person he hated the most and wanted to kill the most in this life.
In order to kill him, he would do anything. In the end, he obeyed his arrangements and fulfilled his ambition step by step.
This pain, this feeling of helplessness, is indescribable.
"Why... why did you do all this...?" Fen Juechen's entire spiritual world was on the verge of collapse, and his voice was hoarse like sandpaper rubbing against each other.
“Heh,” Xuanyuan Wentian smiled faintly, “Of course it’s for what I’ve always been pursuing.”
"One thousand two hundred years ago, when I inherited the position of Sword Master of Tianwei Sword Domain, my cultivation had already reached the peak of Junxuan Realm. But after that, no matter how hard I tried, I could never break through the boundary of Junxuan Realm, as if I was locked in an unopenable cage. I thought that was the limit of human power and that I was the most pinnacle existence among humans. Until the end, I learned about the existence of 'Realm of Gods' from an ancient book, and then I knew that human power can indeed break through the limit of Junxuan Realm and reach the legendary 'God'. So, I began to look for all possible opportunities... The 'Heavenly Sin Divine Sword' of the Eternal Night Royal Family, which exudes infinite weirdness, is one of the opportunities."
Fen Juechen stared with his eyes wide open, and said in a trembling voice: "Just for the pursuit of higher-level power, just for a possible opportunity, you are so cruel that you don't hesitate to destroy an innocent and huge family... You actually... actually..."
“Any questions?” Xuanyuan Wentian spread his hands, but with an expression that it was as it should be: “The only thing that has not changed in my life is the pursuit of greater power. To this end, I can do whatever it takes, any means, as long as it allows me to have greater power, everything can be my stepping stone. This is why I, Xuanyuan Wentian, can be where I am today!”
"A thousand years ago, Ye Mufeng's sudden surge in strength surprised me endlessly, because I clearly saw the power beyond the limit of the Junxuan realm, and clearly saw the opportunity! For this reason, I have been working hard for a whole thousand years. Nineteen days ago, I witnessed the power of that red-clothed demon woman... I once thought that I had reached the peak and had invincible power in the world, but in front of her, I was just vulnerable garbage. Do you know what that feels like? Fear... Trembling... Humiliation... And more of it, desire and excitement! Because Ye Mufeng's power is still far from the limit, and there is a higher level of power waiting for me... There is no reason why I, Xuanyuan Wentian, cannot have the power that others can have!!"
“And today is my first step to another level!”
Xuanyuan Wentian’s pursuit of the profound way was incomparably crazy; everyone in the Four Sacred Grounds knew this.
But no one knew that he was so crazy.
