Nothing is impossible.
Zhou Xingdou looked at Ye Xuan, who was screaming in disbelief, and a faint, contemptuous smile appeared on his lips as he spoke calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xingdou's two jade fingers that were holding the Blood Refined Ferocious Sword trembled slightly, and Ye Xuan suddenly felt a huge force and a stinging pain from the hilt of the sword in his hand, causing his hands to be involuntarily shaken off.
Immediately afterward, Zhou Xingdou flicked his finger, the movement as natural and fluid as flowing water. The instant he flicked his finger, the previously dormant fierce sword intent seemed to be stimulated, bursting forth once more.
The overwhelming crimson sword light, like a surging torrent, once again filled the entire world, dyeing the surrounding space a scarlet color.
However, unlike before, the terrifying pressure and sharp sword energy released by the Blood Refining Fierce Sword were no longer directed at Zhou Xingdou, but instead pointed at its original owner—Ye Xuan.
In the blink of an eye, countless blood-red sword beams rushed towards Ye Xuan like a dense rain of arrows, as fast as shooting stars!
If Ye Xuan were at his peak, he could not only dodge all the crimson sword beams, but also escape unscathed from this endless barrage of sword beams.
Unfortunately, he suffered a backlash and was severely injured because he couldn't bear to hurt Su Tong. He had also poured all his strength into the Blood Refining Fierce Sword, and now he was at his last gasp.
The power he poured into activating the Blood Refining Ferocious Sword at this moment was precisely what was being used.
This caused a slight smile to appear on Ye Xuan's face, who was filled with grief and indignation as he looked at the sword light rushing towards him.
It can only be said that the Blood-Forged Fierce Sword brought them both success and failure.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, countless sword beams pierced through his body, and Ye Xuan's face was frozen on a final bitter smile, filled with endless regret.
"I am a born genius, why should I become a thief..."
As the last word was uttered from those pale lips, the pupils in those eyes instantly dissipated, and the last glimmer of life was extinguished.
Zhou Xingdou couldn't help but shake his head slightly. It wasn't that he felt sorry for Ye Xuan, but just as Ye Xuan said, he was originally the son of the Heavenly Realm, so why should he be a thief who stole from the Desolate Heavenly Dynasty?
If he hadn't conspired with Su Tong to betray Empress Huangtian, although he might have ultimately lost to his own disciple, he wouldn't have died such a pathetic death.
Of course, the system's voice also rang out at that moment:
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for slaying Ye Xuan, the Son of Heaven, and stripping him of all his destiny. You have gained Qi Luck Points!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: 100 Enlightenment Bodhi Seeds!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: 100 Dragon Elephant Sacred Medicines!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: Supreme Battle Slave *1!]
Despite the continuous system notifications, Zhou Xingdou remained expressionless.
The reward for eliminating a Celestial Realm prodigy is indeed substantial, but as his realm continues to advance, these rewards ultimately fall short, and are not as tangible as some Luck Points.
The Bodhi Seed of Enlightenment still has some use, but the Dragon Elephant Sacred Medicine is of no use to him now that he has already entered the Yuanxiang realm.
As for the Supreme War Slave, unless it's a mythical figure I'm familiar with with great potential, it would be a burden to someone at my current Quasi-Emperor level.
Especially because of my rapid progress, I haven't used a single one of the so-called cards in the system's inventory.
Moreover, with the system upgrade, things like clearing one's fate and ignoring strong attacks are now completely useless; I haven't even used them once.
The awakening of the Ziwei bloodline renders even the strongest talent useless to oneself. The so-called innate fortune stripping card loses its value unless it can be transplanted into someone else.
This made Zhou Xingdou feel that the system's effectiveness was decreasing and it was no longer keeping up with his own senses.
Surprisingly, this time the system didn't seem to refute Zhou Xingdou, nor did it offer any explanation. After announcing the rewards, it fell completely silent.
With Ye Xuan dead, Su Tong, who was already being held back by Zhou Xingdou, was naturally no longer a threat.
Zhou Xingdou glanced at Su Tong, who was still in shock from Ye Xuan's death, but did not kill her. Instead, he picked up the Blood Refining Fierce Sword and went to the side of the Desolate Heaven Empress, who was protected by her Dharma Body.
At this moment, the Desolate Heaven Empress stared intently at Zhou Xingdou, her bewitching blood-red eyes now filled with color, but even more so with shock.
Two peak-level experts at the Initial Realm, and another wielding the fully revived Blood Refined Ferocious Sword.
Yet they were so easily defeated by Zhou Xingdou. In such a short time, one died and the other was captured alive. Even the once unrivaled Empress of the Desolate Heaven couldn't help but be filled with curiosity and admiration for his strength.
"The deal is done, you said you'd 'add more money'."
Zhou Xingdou said calmly.
After saying that, he threw Su Tong in front of the Desolate Heaven Empress. The Blood Refining Fierce Sword, which was rare in the entire Four Heavens Sacred Domain, was also thrown to the Desolate Heaven Empress like trash, without the slightest hesitation.
This startled even the Desolate Heaven Empress, who almost forgot to catch the weapon she once possessed, and exclaimed in surprise:
"Are you really going to return this sword to me? It's your spoils of war; you can keep it."
She couldn't understand why Zhou Xingdong, who had been asking her to pay more money before, would return such a weapon, which stood at the pinnacle of the Four Heavenly Sacred Domain, to her without the slightest bit of greed.
Zhou Xingdou glanced at the Desolate Heavenly Empress indifferently, then suddenly reached out and patted her lower back. His silver-white eyes, swirling with purple energy, narrowed.
"You are my trophy!"
Faced with such domineering remarks, this time the Desolate Empress did not argue with Zhou Xing. Instead, she felt a slight warmth on her pale cheeks and stammered:
"I...I'm not."
However, looking at the Bloodforged Ferocious Sword that had returned to her hand after ten thousand years, the Desolate Empress still frowned slightly and said in a low voice:
"Thanks!"
Zhou Xingdou raised an eyebrow. In fact, it wasn't that he kindly returned the Blood Refining Fierce Sword to the Desolate Heaven Empress; rather, he genuinely didn't like the sword.
Weapons comparable to quasi-Emperor weapons are not important to Zhou Xingdou. He might have kept other types of weapons or protective magic treasures.
However, Zhou Xingdou, who has now forged the only source weapon, has no use for such a vicious sword, and it would be inappropriate to give it away. He has plenty of resources back in the Primordial Era, so why should he covet this crudely crafted vicious sword?
However, seeing that the Desolate Empress did not resist his hand patting her waist, Zhou Xingdou stopped explaining and instead looked at the trembling Su Tong, saying:
"What do you plan to do with this person?"
Empress Huangtian also came to her senses and looked at Su Tong, who was now slumped on the ground, her face pale and bloodless. A hint of hatred surged in her blood-red eyes.
