YM778.TV Chapter 593: Master
The Blood River Lord stood in front of the statue, a look of nostalgia in his eyes. "It\'s been more than ten thousand years, but I\'m finally back. Celestial Hook, my old friend, you didn\'t expect this, did you?"
He chuckled.
It was a strange and sinister chuckle, tinged with smugness, ferocity, and also a little melancholy.
He looked around and muttered, "Back then, you went through all that trouble to create this Treasure Paradise, thinking to create your world and use it to become a Domain Lord, attaining the supreme Great Dao. For this purpose, you wouldn\'t even tell your good friend its true location. That\'s not friendly at all. You wouldn\'t tell me, so what else could I do?"
The Blood River Lord laughed.
It was a deep laugh, and his shoulders trembled as he laughed. "I just spread the news around a little, and that just so happened to provoke countless Heavenly Soldiers into hunting you down… Yes, I was the one who sold you out and caused the Court of Myriad Domains to hunt you down!"
The Blood River Lord began to crazily laugh, his face twisting in savagery as he glared at the statue. "But even in those desperate straits, you refused to tell me the exact location of the Treasure Paradise, making me waste ten thousand years! In those ten thousand years, I had to borrow the hands of countless people to finally find this place. I really didn\'t think that you would hide it in a boundary crack. Haha, it was a good move. But so what? I still found it in the end!"
The Blood River Lord\'s eyes glowed as he fiercely said, "Hong Qianli, that imbecile! He thought that getting one Dao armament was something amazing, having no idea what was truly the best. The Treasure Paradise! The Treasure Paradise is the most valuable thing here!"
He raised his hands and shouted, "An independent, complete world, one that has already begun to develop its own unique life, develop its own Dao! This is a domain! The fundamental proof needed to become a supreme Domain Lord, an existence that even the Court of Myriad Domains desired! It is the greatest treasure of all, surpassing everything else! How can a mere Dao armament compare to a complete and independent world!?"
As he roared, his eyes grew even more savage and ruthless.
He drew his hands back and looked at the statue, chuckling, "And now, I\'ve come in! The Treasure Paradise will be mine!"
As he spoke, the statue suddenly glowed, and a pillar of light shot out from it.
It was a majestic and grandiose beam of light, unleashing a most blinding light and most stunning sword intent. It was none other than the power of the divine sword.
But compared to the power the divine sword had shown in the past, it was clearly on a much grander scale, suffused with an undying will. One could vaguely make out a piece of a sword within it, which was the original form of the Yin Yang Division Sword.
This ray of sword light was none other than the most core portion of the Yin Yang Division Sword, capable of slaying even Immortal Platform cultivators.
When the sword light surrounding the Hall of Three Immortals had retreated, it had not disappeared, but instead hidden itself within this statue.
This sword light had sensed the Blood River Lord\'s hostility and finally emerged, once more shining over the Hall of Three Immortals. As it blanketed the entire hall in sword light, everyone felt their blood go cold, confused as to what was going on.
Thankfully, the sword will was intelligent and was only targeting the Blood River Lord.
The sword light took aim, erupting with murderous intent!
The Blood River Lord simply laughed. "Withering will, fallen soul, key to the realm, enduring wish! The divine sword has a spirit which serves as the substitute of the Heavenly Dao, the sword spirit serving as the domain spirit. I just need to subdue you to take all of the Treasure Paradise!"
He raised his hands, and countless treasures flew out, charging at the sword light.
The Treasure Cosmos Formation!
He was using his own body as a formation diagram, utilizing all the treasure he had gathered to create a Treasure Cosmos Formation to attack the divine sword. In fact, he had learned this method from Tang Jie. After seeing Yiyi use it once, the Blood River Lord grasped the formation and made his own variant of it.
The treasures flew out, clothed in a crimson light. Merging together, they created a giant light source that blocked the divine sword like a shield.
The pillar of sword energy tilted downward in a light slash.
This one strike was enough to slice through the Treasure Cosmos Formation like it was made of butter, the edge of the divine sword slicing at the Blood River Lord\'s head as if there was no resistance.
But the Blood River Lord was fearless, laughing and saying, "It truly is sharp without compare. But this old man isn\'t here for these little treasures."
His eyes widened as he shouted, "Divine Genesis, hurry up and show yourself!"
He thrust his arms at the air.
With a boom, a light abruptly appeared in the sky.
The light was like a hand pushing aside the clouds, like the sun illuminating all the world.
This light source slowly rose like the rising sun, and as it shone upon the people, it was warm and gentle, like the hand of a lover.
"Divine Genesis!" Everyone raised their heads in shock to gaze at that red sun.
The dazzling light prevented everyone from seeing what was inside that sun, but everyone could feel that the power of creation coming from it had created everything here.
A beam of light fell upon a stone beast on a jade guardrail, upon which that stone beast jumped off the rail and threw its head back in a mighty roar.
Another beam of light fell upon a fake mountain, upon which that mountain rumbled, and a stone man rose from it, roaring at the heavens.
More light fell upon various parts of the Hall of Three Immortals, as well as outside of it.
The mountains, trees, clouds, water—almost everything became a treasure, and then came to life, countless beams of treasure light rising to the heavens.
The treasure lights gathered together and then charged at the Blood River Lord\'s Treasure Cosmos Formation. More and more treasures appeared, forming layer after layer, circle after circle, opposing the sword intent, and even the light of Divine Genesis wrapped itself around the treasures, soaking them in its radiance.
At the same time, the image of an infant began to form with the pillar of sword energy. Even though it was an infant, it seemed to span the heavens and earth.
Rage appeared on the baby\'s face, and it pointed at the world. Sword light immediately rose up to cut down the Blood River Lord, not even sparing the power of Divine Genesis.
The two torrents of power slammed into each other, unleashing a powerful shockwave.
The treasure light vanished, and the treasures were instantly obliterated by the divine sword. That Wolf Snuff Bottle, the Sand Phoenix Zither, the Gold Dragon Flute, the Violet Lightning Spear, the Worldshaker Armor, and countless puppets and stone monsters were all obliterated.
The defensive barrier of the Hall of Three Immortals exploded with light as it was pushed to maximum power, just barely managing to protect the hall. But outside the hall, mountains crumbled, the world seeming about to collapse.
The representatives within the Hall of Three Immortals desperately cast spell arts to defend themselves, and this was just barely enough to survive the aftershocks from the divine sword\'s attacks, with the weaker ones being pulverized.
The ferocity of this attack left everyone dumbfounded.
This was only the aftershock! If they had to take the actual attack, even a Violet Palace or Immortal Platform cultivator would have died. It was no wonder the Four Heavenly Kings didn\'t dare to step inside and even the Flame Celestial Sovereign had been heavily injured.
In the end, Divine Genesis wasn\'t an offensive treasure. With all those treasures shattered at once, its light grew much weaker.
It once more began to recede into the shadows.
The Blood River Lord did not try to stop it. While it had been a good move to harness Divine Genesis\'s power for his own use, he could not use it again, as that move had cost too much of his essence blood. Even if he wanted to, he didn\'t have the strength for it.
But the Blood River Lord had only intended for it to block this one attack.
As Divine Genesis and the sword energy receded, the Blood River Lord threw out an item: "Go, Immeasurable Sword!"
A hiltless blade flew into the air—the Immeasurable Sword.
The several dozen Blood River avatars throughout the Hall of Three Immortals looked up at the Immeasurable Sword and began to fly toward it. As they did, their bodies dissolved into crimson rivers.
The crimson rivers surged through the air and flowed into the Immeasurable Sword.
The Immeasurable Sword was a blood-sucking sword. The more blood it drank, the stronger it became.
At this moment, the Blood River Lord was offering up his own body to increase the sword\'s power.
Xi Canhen had been able to use only a tenth of his blood to kill someone two tiers above him, and the Blood River Lord had far more blood than Xi Canhen, and of higher quality as well.
In a flash, ten Heart Demon Blood River avatars had been absorbed by the Immeasurable Sword.
Like Black Sin, the Immeasurable Sword devoured the blood and began to radiate a terrifying and wild glow.
When the glow reached a certain level, even the divine sword could suppress it no longer. Crimson light exploded over the Hall of Three Immortals, completely engulfing the divine sword\'s power.
"Yaaa!" The infant within the sword light let out a cry of anger, and it once more shone with light, clearly preparing for another world-shaking blow.
But the Blood River Lord laughed. "It\'s useless. This is the Immeasurable Sword. You are no match for it. Because… it was your master\'s weapon, and it carries your master\'s will!"
As the Blood River Lord spoke, it became apparent that the sword spirit could not strike the blow. Meanwhile, the crimson light of the Immeasurable Sword coiled around the sword spirit and pulled it into the Immeasurable Sword.
The sword spirit infant struggled, but it couldn\'t break free.
This sword spirit that even an Immortal Platform cultivator couldn\'t kill became as weak as a real baby in front of the Immeasurable Sword.
As the sword spirit was pulled into the sword, the Blood River Lord laughed, "Hahaha! Once the sword spirit enters the blade, it will no longer be a wandering spirit. The Immeasurable Sword will be your new home. Yin Yang sword spirit, it would be better if you listened. Starting from now, you will be the Immeasurable Sword spirit, and this Immeasurable Sword will be the key to controlling the Treasure Paradise! Unless somebody comes with the hilt and sheath, nobody else can restrain you. Starting from today, I am your master, and the master of the Treasure Paradise!"
