Chapter 536: Calming the Demon Sword with Life

Under the pale sacred mountain, a long gray river formed by the convergence of countless people meanders and spirals, with no end in sight.

The sacred mountain is shrouded in a terrifying formation all year round. Only on the Holy Day of Sword Sacrifice will an entrance be opened at the only node at the foot of the mountain. The gray vortex passage looks like a huge mouth of the abyss that wants to devour people.

The alien races of Silent Annihilation seldom have the desire to communicate with each other. They are taciturn and solitary creatures. Moreover, at a solemn time like the Holy Day of Sword Sacrifice, the huge crowds of people are so quiet that it is depressing.

Bai Jiange and Jian Chi didn't even dare to try to communicate with each other through voice. They relied on implicit eye contact to hide in the crowd and quickly approached the vortex passage.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the vortex one after the other, they felt a prying force sweeping over them. The long sword behind the sword maniac continuously exuded the power of annihilation, covering them as well. The prying gaze touched this aura unique to the annihilation alien race and immediately retreated.

Bai Jiange's mind relaxed slightly and he passed this only hurdle. There was no more obstacles until he approached the Demon Sword of Annihilation.

After all, this was the heartland of the Dead Silence Realm, and the object of protection was the terrifying Devil Sword of Silence. The alien race of Silence was just going through the motions. Could it be that anyone could take away this extremely evil sword? The Devil Sword of Silence did not need their protection at all.

Behind the vortex passage is a staircase extending above the clouds. At the end of the stairs, there is a gray-white boulder on the top of the mountain, and the Demon Sword of Annihilation is deeply inserted into the boulder.

The gray crowd went up the stairs. The closer they got to the top of the mountain, the more pious the aliens looked, and their eyes became fanatical. Bai Jiange glanced at the foggy area outside the stairs and saw some powerful figures, all of whom were as strong as the ninth realm.

These alien races are the guardians of the Holy Sword Cult. They are guarding here to maintain the smooth progress of the ceremony and to clear out any troublemakers in time.

The sacred mountain is extremely high, but it is not difficult for the cultivators to climb on foot. Soon, the first group of silent aliens climbed to the flat and smooth top of the mountain.

With an extremely pious look on his face, he walked a few steps to the bottom of the boulder, knelt on the ground, then stared at the Sword of Annihilation with fanatical eyes, muttered something, raised his hand and cleanly cut open his chest, and as his hot heart beat, all his energy rushed out through the wound and turned into a ray of light that shot into the Sword of Annihilation.

The sacrifice burns everything and turns it into ashes, thus completing the sword sacrifice ceremony.

The surging crowd came one after another. These alien races were extremely decisive, without the slightest hesitation, as if they were not stepping into death, but completing their final redemption and entering paradise.

In a short period of time, hundreds of millions of alien races completed the sword sacrifice ceremony.

"No wonder the Death Realm is so sparsely populated..."

"They love sacrifice! Not only other creatures, but also themselves."

Bai Jiange moved along with the crowd, watching this strange ceremony, and couldn't help but mutter to himself. The Silence Alien Clan was originally a solitary race with a very low reproduction rate. Coupled with various forms of self-destruction sacrifices, the number of the clan has always been at the bottom among all the alien races.

Soon, the two followed the crowd to the top of the mountain. The sword maniac's eyes narrowed slightly, and he reached out and pressed down the trembling sword behind him.

"Jian Ge, if I fail, you can leave alone. I have condensed a force of annihilation on you. As long as you don't expose yourself, you won't be discovered by the annihilation aliens."

For some reason, the sword maniac who was originally full of confidence and possessed the innate calamity sword body, began to waver a little after approaching the mother body of the annihilation magic sword. This magic sword was too evil. Moreover, over the endless years, the annihilation alien race had sacrificed countless lives to the sword, and its aura was even more weird and terrifying.

"Sword Maniac Senior, you..."

Bai Jiange narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression firm, things have come to this point, he certainly won't give up easily, otherwise how could he let Moro take action.

The sword maniac's expression became serious, and he strode towards the boulder, passing those silent aliens who were kneeling on the ground to commit suicide, and gradually approached the gray-white boulder. At this time, he had already separated from the crowd, and was so conspicuous that he finally attracted the attention of the guardian of the Holy Sword Sect outside the mountain top.

“Stop!”

This was the first sound that appeared today, breaking the oppressive silence.

The sword maniac seemed not to have heard anything and had already stepped onto the boulder. He had already seen the hilt of the Demon Sword of Annihilation was shrouded in gray, and the sword body was deeply embedded in the stone, without a trace of its edge.

"Humph! Heretic, you're courting death!"

The Holy Sword Cult's guardian's expression changed, and he condensed a giant claw of rules from a distance, grabbing at the sword maniac. These guardians did not dare to climb to the top of the mountain, firstly because they were afraid of the fierce power of the magic sword, and secondly because of the restrictions of the church rules, anyone who climbed to the top of the mountain must complete the sword sacrifice and cannot come down alive.

This is also one of their purposes here, so that they can lend a helping hand to believers who might back down at the critical moment.

Chant——

The sword maniac's expression did not change, and the long sword behind him automatically slashed out a sword light full of annihilative power. The giant claw that crushed the rules was still as powerful as ever, and directly chopped the horrified guardian into nothingness.

But he is only at the second extreme realm, no way he can be a match for the sword maniac.

"Oh no! There's an intruder!"

The fleeting murderous intent instantly alarmed all the guardians. Dense crowds of figures surrounded the top of the mountain in a flash, but no one dared to step onto the top of the mountain.

"Kill him! Don't let him get any closer to the Demon Sword!"

Dense attacks poured down, all condensed to the extreme, avoiding the location of the Annihilation Demon Sword far away. It was not because they were afraid of hurting the Demon Sword, but because they were afraid of causing the Demon Sword to riot.

The riot of the Devil Sword of Annihilation is very troublesome. The sword sacrifices have never stopped in order to suppress its evil nature, or to satisfy the sword's desire for killing.

"Humph! Don't even think about stopping me!"

Killing intent flashed in the sword maniac's eyes. He stretched out his hand and drew the long sword behind him. With a swing and a sweep, a gray sword field swept across. Endless sword lights entangled and strangled, cutting all attacks into nothingness.

He launched a terrifying attack with his hands and quickened his pace. In a few steps, he was within ten feet of the Sword of Annihilation.

"Stop it!"

A guardian with the heaviest aura raised his hand to stop everyone from attacking. The sword maniac was too close to the magic sword, and if he attacked, the magic sword would inevitably be affected.

"The Devil Sword of Annihilation cannot be touched. Even those Ten Realms masters are helpless against it, let alone this person. Just wait, this ignorant fellow will be devoured without leaving any bones!"

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this. The demon sword was unruly, evil and terrifying, and anyone who touched it would die.

"What a terrifying aura..."

The sword maniac had no intention of paying attention to those guardians. The moment he approached the magic sword, his mind was shrouded in darkness. His eyes turned pitch black, and gusts of evil aura penetrated directly into his pure sword heart.

"Devil sword! Devil sword!!"

"Come with me, I need your help."

Deep within the sword maniac's body, the hidden power of his blood began to boil, and endless gray mist gushed out. The terrifying innate power of annihilation turned into countless sword lights, filling his body inside and out.

Wherever the sword light passed, the evil and terrifying aura suddenly weakened a lot, and the sword maniac's stiff and cold body suddenly regained a trace of warmth. He took a step forward again and walked towards the Devil Sword of Annihilation step by step.

"Hiss! This guy! How could it be possible..."

The pupils of the guardian leader shrank sharply. Although the Heart Demon Sword might be lost, it was beyond his expectation that the sword maniac could get so close to the Demon Sword. What if? He shuddered in his heart. If the Demon Sword was lost, none of them would survive. Without further hesitation, he pinched the magic formula in his hand and shot a stream of light towards the sky. Although the Ten Realms masters were busy with all kinds of affairs, it was still necessary to report such a major event. If there was an unexpected change, he would have an explanation.

The guardian leader breathed a sigh of relief after finishing everything, but he did not realize that the stream of light he shot out was intercepted by an invisible light shield at the end of the sky.

Chant——

Clang! As the sword maniac got closer and closer to the Devil Sword of Annihilation, the replica of the Devil Sword that was tightly grasped by him and trembled non-stop, unexpectedly broke free and stabbed into the boulder. The light became dim and he dared not get any closer.

The sword maniac's hands stiffened slightly, but he did not stop. He took a few steps forward and finally arrived in front of the Demon Sword of Annihilation.

The darkness in his eyes was boundless, his body was filled with evil aura, his will was wailing, and cracks appeared on his sword heart. He almost completely lost his mind, with only a trace of obsession left in his heart, the obsession to take the magic sword away.

He slowly stretched out his right hand, and after passing through the gray mist, his flesh and blood had been completely worn away. The moment his skeletal fingertips touched the cold hilt of the sword, the sword maniac's consciousness went blank, and he fell into endless gray.

All things return to silence.

The end of the road is also nirvana, and only nirvana is eternal.

Yin! A gray light appeared in the gray and white world. This was the brilliance of the Xiantian Jiemie Sword after it had burned to its fullest. It awakened the sword maniac's will to move towards extinction.

"I'm a sword fanatic! I can't die! I can't die yet!!"

“Drink—”

The sword maniac roared towards the sky, his flesh and blood turned into fuel for the radiant light of destruction, and his skeleton gradually revealed itself.

Sizzle! The Devil Sword of Silence was pulled out, revealing a section of the gray-white sword body, and the evil aura suddenly surged countless times.

"Oh no! The demon sword has been awakened! How dare this bastard? How could he do this!!"

The expressions of many Holy Sword Cult guardians changed drastically, their eyes were filled with disbelief and horror, fear surged in their hearts, and they quickly retreated a distance. Although they were scared to death, they did not dare to leave this place, otherwise they would still be executed by the higher-ups.

"Sword Maniac Senior..."

Looking at the sword maniac who had almost turned into a skeleton, Bai Jiange's eyes flashed with worry. The Demon Sword of Annihilation was too terrifying, and the sword maniac seemed to be struggling too hard. He had a bad feeling in his heart.

Snap!

Boom! A gray sword light flashed from the exposed blade of the Silence Demon Sword, and the sword maniac's right hand was instantly chopped into nothingness, and his body was knocked away and deeply sunk into the boulder.

"Sword Maniac Senior!"

Bai Jiange's expression changed, and without hesitation, he moved into the huge pit and helped the sword maniac, who was on his last legs, up.

"Ahem! Jiange, I failed..."

"You shouldn't have shown up."
