The Blade-Wielding Legend

Everyone seemed to be dancing on the edge of a blade, wandering at the brink of life and death.

"We can’t continue like this! We’ll be exhausted and die here!" Gu Linzi roared, his chest heaving violently.

"Use that!"

Chi Jiaozi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, "If we don’t use it now, we’ll never have another chance!"

The eyes of the other three met, instantly reaching a consensus.

Their eyes simultaneously erupted with a determined light!

"Roar—!"

A deep dragon’s roar, neither human nor beast, filled with archaic wildness, simultaneously emerged from their mouths!

Their aura, previously weary from the battle, suddenly surged!

A terrifying Qi, dominant and wild, like it emanated from primordial times, burst forth from them.

Intertwining and converging together as one!

This was their ultimate technique—Dragon Energy Fusion!

Using a secret technique to forcibly ignite the dormant source of the Evil Dragon’s Dragon Energy within them, briefly unifying it to unleash a power far beyond their collective strength, enough to challenge realms beyond their own!

The cost would be severe damage to their foundation, greatly depleting Primordial Energy, requiring at least a year’s recuperation to recover, potentially even affecting their future path.

But at this moment, with life hanging by a thread, there was no time for hesitation!

Crack! Zzz—!

Blinding lightning instantly erupted from around their bodies!

Gu Linzi’s Palm Thunder shone as bright as day; Gu Xuzi’s fists were wrapped in crimson electric snakes; Gu Claw’s fingertips danced with eerie blue arcs; the five seemed to have transformed into human sources of thunder.

"Palm Thunder! Break!"

The five shouted sharply in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized, pushing their hands forward aggressively!

Not individual small-scale Thunder Techniques anymore, but five massive lightning pillars of different attributes but unified essence, like five roaring Thunder Dragons, crashing into the densest area of Shikigami and Onmyoji.

Boom—!!!

The deafening explosion seemed to overturn the entire cave.

The blinding lightning illuminated the cavern as if it were day.

The rampaging Thunder Power spread violently, ripping through everything in its path; whether it be the paper-made Dog God Crow Tengu or the bone-assembled Tubi, or the resentment-condensed Bone Woman, all were torn apart and evaporated in an instant!

The nearby Onmyoji could not even scream before they turned into charred ashes amidst the lightning.

Those slightly farther away were mercilessly blown away by the fierce shockwave, leaving their tendons snapped, bones broken, and blood streaming from their seven orifices.

The terror of this strike was unparalleled!

The center of the cave was suddenly clear!

Then, five lightning figures rampaged through the cave.

Sometimes dispersed, sometimes unified, cooperatively seamless.

Before long, the cave turned silent, leaving only many charred corpses littering the ground.

However, the lightning around the Five Dragon Sons quickly dimmed.

Their faces were as pale as gold paper, Qi weakened to the extreme, bodies teetering on collapse.

Forcibly triggering Dragon Energy Fusion and using this over-limit Thunder Technique had already pushed them to the brink of exhaustion.

"Quick! Suppress the vessels!"

Gu Linzi clung to his last thread of Qingming, shouting hoarsely.

The other four dared not delay, gritting through the pain and weakness, rapidly pulling out the golden talismans bestowed by Master Yu Chanzi—Three Mountains Suppressing Demon Talisman.

The talismans emitted a grand Pure Yang Gang Qi.

They rushed towards the three sinister vessels.

"Suppress!"

"Suppress!"

"Suppress!"

With three piercing shouts, the golden talismans precisely adhered to the Blood-stained Stone Tablet Fragments, Resentful Soul Wood Carving, and Broken Pottery Jar!

Buzz!

The talisman Qi surged, like three invisible Divine Mountains, fiercely repressing downward!

While the Five Dragon Sons fought bloodily and painstakingly suppressed the vessels, within the dense dark mist that had swallowed Li Yan, another far more perilous and eerie duel was unfolding.

Once plunging into the black mist, Li Yan felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless icy seabed abyss.

The piercing chill infiltrated every crevice, furiously eroding his Protective Gang Qi, attempting to freeze his blood and paralyze his nerves.

Countless whispers filled with evil thoughts, mad screams, and cries of despair exploded directly in his mind, impacting his Divine Soul, trying to drag him into the abyss of madness.

Vision was completely deprived, and senses were compressed to the extreme.

Pressure!

Unimaginable pressure!

From all directions, like tons of seawater pressing in, like countless cold poisonous snakes entwining and biting.

His skin began to show blackish-blue frostbite marks, his Divine Soul was like a candle in the wind, about to go out.

Li Yan clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

He dared to venture alone into this perilous place, not recklessly seeking death.

The Hook Paper’s newly awakened terrifying ability could devour Demon Gods and open the Daluo Void.

But this move had a fatal flaw: it required the Evil God’s power to actively invade his body or for its true form to attempt possession in order for the Hook Paper to lock and devour it!

However, the Evil God deep in this cavern was exceptionally cunning and cautious.

It seemed to sense some aura on Li Yan that it feared, and continuously used black mist to erode, mental strikes to torture, like a cat playing with a mouse.

It was exhausting, probing, savoring the prey’s struggle for life.

"Cowardly thief!" Li Yan was extremely anxious.

The longer time dragged on, the more dangerous it was for the Five Dragon Sons over there, and his own condition worsened.

Just as Li Yan felt overwhelmed, ready to use Thunder God Transformation, the core Evil God, which had been lurking patiently like a deep-sea beast, probing with tendrils, finally couldn’t hold back!

A jet-black smoke far more pure and condensed than the surrounding black mist, like a giant python, with penetrating cold and nauseating salty sea stench, shot out fiercely from the core of the black mist, and precisely along the unhealed wound on Li Yan’s left arm, it violently drilled in!

"Argh—!"

Li Yan let out a muffled groan of extreme pain!

The sensation was as if a cold, slippery, suction-cup-covered giant sea snake had forcibly entered his veins, madly spreading towards his heart, brain, and every part of his body.

Where it passed, his blood froze, meridians were forcibly expanded and torn, his Divine Soul seemed about to be completely occupied and assimilated by this cold evil consciousness!

A thin layer of black ice instantly covered his body surface.

Yet, at the instant the Evil God’s will penetrated deeply into Li Yan’s body—

Buzz!!!

From Li Yan’s bosom, the Hook Paper suddenly erupted, generating an irresistible terrifying suction force.

This suction was not aimed at material substance, but precisely locked onto that Evil God’s original will.

"Hiss—Roar—!!!"

A sharp roar exploded directly in Li Yan’s mental sea!

The jet-black smoke python that entered Li Yan’s body twisted and struggled frantically, trying to escape.

It felt a deadly threat!

The aura emitted by the Hook Paper was like a more terrifying monster opening its giant mouth.

But it was too late!

The Hook Paper’s suction force tightly bound this invading Evil God’s source.

No matter how it roared and struggled, how it erupted with soul-freezing cold Qi, it couldn’t escape.

This pure and enormous Evil God’s power, along with the chaotic will and cold Qi it carried when invading Li Yan’s body, like rivers flowing into the sea, was forcibly drawn and continuously absorbed into the Hook Paper!

Li Yan’s body became a battlefield.

On one side the Evil God’s source fiercely destroyed, attempting body seizing; on the other side the Hook Paper’s domineering devouring, forcibly peeling it away.

His body trembled violently, as if countless small snakes were roaming and bulging under his skin, sometimes covered in black ice, sometimes dispersed by the golden light of the Hook Paper.

The intense pain nearly made him faint, but he desperately held onto the last thread of clarity, fully operating the Daluo Dharma Body, cooperating with the Hook Paper to repair the internal damage.

In this tug-of-war of devouring and counter-devouring, countless fragmented thoughts and chaotic images flooded into Li Yan’s consciousness like torrents:

Endless dark deep sea, cold and piercing, huge shadows wandering in the abyss...

The moon grew incomplete and dim under a giant snake’s kiss, stained with blood light...

The land plunged into a panicked darkness...

Piercing deafening noise!

Countless mortals were banging pots and pans, creating a huge sound wave forming an invisible barrier, shaking its head in splitting pain, forced to give up the "delicacy" about to be devoured, hastily retreating to the deep sea...

Baku Nawa!

Moon-swallowing serpent!

This name originating from the Southern Ocean Island Country’s creation myth, along with its roots, nature, and origin, was clearly imprinted in Li Yan’s mental sea.

This was no Eastern Land Gods and Demons but an extradimensional Evil God brought by Zhao Changsheng!
