Nephren's speed wasn't necessarily slow; it wasn't that [Time River] was ineffective, but rather that she defended in time, using the force to retreat and taking advantage of the gap to remove the negative effects of Time Slow.
Cloud's Cry's [River of Time] is an extremely terrifying ability; the slightest carelessness can lead to great losses.
The two are of similar strength, so the effect of [Time River] is not a big problem for Nephren.
Moreover, she was too familiar with Cloud's Cry's moves, making it difficult for Cloud to find an opportunity to activate its power. Just now was a small oversight on Nephren's part, which was a good opportunity to get used to the long-lost feeling.
After removing the negative buffs, Nephren drew her sword and charged towards Cloud's Cry. The swords clashed together, both emitting sharp sword cries. Sensing their master's fighting spirit, the two swords only grew more intense.
The constant clashes between the Immortal and Demon Emperors unleashed their imperial might, aiding the Boundary Sea in accelerating the erosion of the already damaged Boundary Realm. In the blink of an eye, one-third of both the Immortal and Demon Realms could be seen being eroded away by the turbulent currents of the Boundary Sea.
The Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm, which once stood at the top of the Five Realms, are now facing such an end. If the ancient human and demon races could see this, they would surely be overjoyed.
Yun Zhiqi and Nephren held nothing back, each move deadly and without reservation, their faces filled with smiles of eager anticipation for battle.
"The Scar of Immortals: Golden Skyline!!!"
"Demonic Rainbow - Flowing Heaven and Moon!!!"
The two unleashed their sword techniques, each transforming into a straight line as they charged towards each other. After the sword techniques were executed, the two faced away from each other, and the enormous energy they unleashed reduced the already one-third destroyed realm of immortals and demons to only one-third.
Yun Zhiqi turned around and flapped his pure white fairy wings. In an instant, Yun Zhiqi arrived in front of Nephren and swung the Spring and Autumn Sword down at Nephren. Nephren blocked the powerful sword with her sword and continued to fight with Yun Zhiqi.
The Spring and Autumn Sword and the Winter and Summer Sword were enveloped in icy blue and crimson light. Each clash of the swords sparked with fire. After Yun Zhiqi and the other person parried and retreated once again, the sword spirits of the Spring and Autumn Sword and the Winter and Summer Sword appeared.
An icy blue phantom spirit and a crimson phantom spirit each flew out of the sword. They were two petite girls, and surprisingly, the sword spirits of the two swords looked exactly alike.
Not only do they look alike, they also share identical features: both sword spirits have half white fairy wings and half black demonic wings on their backs, a light purple demonic pattern on their necks, and a fairy mark on their foreheads.
The Spring and Autumn Sword was crafted by Danyangzi, a legendary swordsmith from the Immortal Realm, while the Winter and Summer Sword was crafted by Chili, a legendary swordsmith from the Demon Realm.
Cloud's Cry and Nephren are quite helpless when it comes to these two swords.
In ancient times, during the war between immortals and demons, Yun Zhiqi and Nephren, who had no suitable weapons, each asked two legendary swordsmiths to forge a top-notch weapon for them.
Danyangzi and Chili, having received their orders, began collecting materials from various realms. The two shared the same target material: the Black Flame Divine Gold from the Demon Realm and the Holy Spirit Ice Soul from the Human Realm.
On his journey to find the Black Flame Divine Gold in the Demon Realm, Dan Yangzi encounters Chi Li, a swordsmith from the Demon Realm. Due to their different races and the ongoing war, the two immediately start fighting upon meeting.
Both Danyangzi and Chili are ninth-level swordsmiths with considerable strength. Moreover, they were only going to low-level worlds like the demon realm and the human realm to collect rare materials, so neither of them brought a guard team with them.
The immortal and the demon clashed, their strength evenly matched. They fought fiercely and eventually collapsed from exhaustion in a clearing in the central forest of the demon realm.
As a demon, Akari had long, glossy black hair, a light pink demonic mark on her neck, and a pair of very distinctive red demonic wings on her back. She was panting heavily as she looked at the immortal man lying next to her, who was also panting heavily.
"Hey, what's your name? Not bad, you're worthy of me knowing your name."
Danyangzi turned his head and glared at her, saying irritably, "My name is Danyangzi, and I am a swordsmith."
Akari became interested, her red demonic eyes fixed on Danyangzi, and she chuckled, "What a coincidence, I'm also a swordsmith. You wouldn't happen to be here looking for Black Flame Divine Gold, would you?"
Danyangzi's eyes widened.
"you also……"
Chili sneered, "It seems you are the legendary swordsmith of the immortal race. Black Flame Divine Gold is extremely difficult to collect, and forging and tempering it is even more difficult. Ordinary people would not think of using this material to forge a sword."
Danyangzi also realized the identity of the demon woman in front of him. After calming down, he said, "I want the Black Flame Divine Gold."
"Why should I?!" Akari immediately objected.
Danyangzi proudly laughed, "Not only will I obtain the Black Flame Divine Gold, but I will also go to the human realm to obtain the Holy Spirit Ice Soul. I will fuse these two precious materials together to forge the strongest sword and present it to the Immortal Emperor to defeat your demon race."
Akari said speechlessly, "Do you think it's possible that I think the same way?"
Danyangzi blinked. Indeed, as a legendary swordsmith of the demon race, his thinking was definitely extraordinary. However, Danyangzi didn't expect that Chili's idea would be exactly the same as his own.
"No, do you know that Black Flame Divine Gold and Holy Spirit Ice Soul are two mutually exclusive materials?" Dan Yangzi didn't believe that Chi Li would think the same way he did, and he stared intently at Chi Li.
Akari stared at him and said, "Never mind that. Since I thought of using these two materials to forge a sword, I must have my own way of doing it."
"Besides, you must have your own reasons for coming up with these two materials."
Danyangzi nodded, no longer looking at Akari, but instead looking up at the azure sky.
The blue sky in the demon realm is different from the blue sky in the immortal realm. The blue sky in the demon realm is much bluer, which is what Danyangzi longs for. If he has the opportunity in the future, he hopes to live in seclusion in the demon realm with the person he loves.
“Let’s compete fairly. We’ll join forces to obtain these two materials, then have a duel. The winner will get both materials,” Danyangzi said, turning to Akari.
Akari's breathing gradually calmed down, and she nodded.
"I think that's fine. But if I win, don't cry, and absolutely no cheating!"
Dan Yangzi was amused by Chi Li. He looked up at the azure sky again and said, "How can a legendary swordsmith from the Demon Realm act like a child?"
Akari was petite, and her demonic features added to her cuteness. Her way of speaking was quite interesting to Danyangzi, just like a child.
Akari turned to the side and kicked Danyoko.
"You rude wretch, if you dare utter another word, I'll cut out your tongue and feed it to Cerberus!"
Danyangzi smiled, slowly closed his eyes, and enjoyed the warm sunshine. Before long, he actually fell into a deep sleep, completely ignoring the fact that there was a demon next to him.
The two were quite carefree; Akari also fell asleep, and the immortal and the demon ended up sleeping together.
