Chapter 913: Intercept the Sky, Slash the Dragon

After Purple Lightning unleashed that sword strike, it felt as though it had broken through some kind of limit. Simultaneously, Chen Mobai, who was linked with it, completely comprehended Grandmaster Qingshi's Purple Radiance Sword Intent at that very moment.

All the contents of the Purple Radiance Sword Manual flashed through his mind. For him, there was no longer any doubt about this sword art created by Grandmaster Qingshi. As long as he wished, cultivating this sword art to its peak perfection would be free of any bottlenecks or obstacles.

Furthermore, Chen Mobai even discovered an astonishing possibility through the deductions of the Inch-Sized Book. If he were to switch to cultivating the Purple Radiance Sword Manual, combined with his communion with the Purple Lightning Sword, there was a nearly 10-20% chance that he could use it as a vessel for his Nascent Soul, reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship attained only by Old Ancestor Baiguang.

This greatly surprised Chen Mobai, as even someone as extraordinarily talented as Grandmaster Qingshi had not reached this stage, having passed away before the Divine Transformation threshold. Consequently, the Purple Radiance Sword Manual did not contain chapters on Divine Transformation. So why was he able to deduce this now? Was it the power of the Inch-Sized Book, or the effect of the Self-Contemplation function of the Crown of Heaven and Earth's Myriad Beings?

Chen Mobai pondered these questions, but at that moment, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon, heavily wounded by the Purple Lightning Sword, had already gone berserk. The excruciating pain of its serpent tail nearly being severed caused the peerless demon king to erupt in a piercing roar of fury.

The blood gushing from its wound was iridescent, and a sweet, cloying fragrance spread, accompanying the scattered, multicolored blood. In the distance, upon inhaling the scent, Zhou Shengqing's form immediately began to slightly blur.

"This is bad, junior brother. Old Ancestor Poison Dragon has refined the bloodline of the True Spirit Rainbow Serpent, which contains a potent toxin that directly attacks the mind and spirit…"

Zhou Shengqing, being a Nascent Soul Dharma Body, no longer possessed a physical body, so ordinary poisons were generally ineffective against him. However, with this Rainbow Serpent venom, he felt his mind grow muddled and disoriented immediately upon contact. If not for the Evergreen Immortal Sutra, combined with the Fourth-Tier Tree Seed's innate detoxifying and purifying properties, he would likely have lost control of his power, and his Nascent Soul Dharma Body would have disintegrated.

"Senior brother, please retreat first. Leave this to me." Chen Mobai, seeing Zhou Shengqing's condition, immediately urged him to leave. As for the Rainbow Serpent venom, his Phoenix Facing the Sun Art was complete, rendering him immune to all poisons, so he had no fear whatsoever.

"Junior brother…" Zhou Shengqing wanted to say more, but he quickly realized that his presence here would only hinder Chen Mobai's actions. With a sigh, he put away the tree seed and transformed into a streak of green light, withdrawing from the battlefield.

Boom! At this moment, the tribulation clouds above the island were already brewing their final strike. Chen Mobai had also, at this point, gathered information on this topic through the Inch-Sized Book. This information, recorded in an ancient Taoist text within the Xuanxiao Dao Palace, detailed matters concerning true spirits between heaven and earth, and had coincidentally been scanned into his Heaven Calculation Orb.

It stated that if a postnatal creature cultivated a true spirit bloodline, it must pass a trial of heaven and earth before it could fully emerge. In other words, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's heavenly tribulation was not a Divine Transformation tribulation, but a transformation tribulation unique to postnatal true spirit bloodlines.

Old Ancestor Poison Dragon had somehow cultivated the True Spirit Rainbow Serpent bloodline. If it truly passed this tribulation, then with its Fourth-Tier peak fundamental power, plundering resources from the Eastern Wasteland and Dongwu regions, it might not take long for it to break through limits and truly become a Fifth-Tier demonic beast. It was for this reason that Chen Mobai understood he absolutely had to prevent Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's transformation today. This was because, in the Heavenly River Realm, such a true spirit bloodline cultivated postnatally would only trigger one transformation tribulation.

If it successfully passed, it would signify its entry onto the grand path of demon cultivation, allowing it to undergo tribulations step by step in the future, even becoming a complete true spirit, comparable to ancient gods and demons like the Jellyfish Heavenly Venerate. However, if it failed to pass the transformation tribulation, the true spirit bloodline of the postnatal demon would lose any further chance of advancement, forever remaining constrained. Therefore, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon would certainly not retreat back to the Yellow Dragon Grotto today. This was the grand path it had attained through two millennia of arduous cultivation; once it retreated, it would forever remain merely a lowly venomous serpent.

Originally, with its power, passing a mere transformation tribulation would at most only expend some vitality. But to its surprise, besides the heavenly tribulation, there was also a human tribulation. Moreover, this human tribulation had even provoked the heavenly tribulation, merging the two into one, inflicting the greatest wound upon Old Ancestor Poison Dragon after its cultivation had reached completion.

Rumble! The tribulation clouds in the sky had, at this point, completely contracted. From previously obscuring the sky, they now merely hovered over Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's head. However, the vivid, crystal-clear arcs of crimson lightning caused the Old Ancestor, who had initially paid little heed to the transformation tribulation, to involuntarily glance at them.

A purple radiance shone once more. Under Chen Mobai's divine consciousness, the Purple Lightning Sword prepared to soar skyward, harnessing this final tribulation power to deliver a fatal blow to Old Ancestor Poison Dragon.

"Human brat, since you seek death, don't blame this ancestor!" Seeing this, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's eyes turned ferocious. Disregarding any further losses, its gaze fell upon its severed serpent tail, and it began to chant, seemingly casting a mysterious spell. Soon, the iridescent blood flowing from its wound began to transform into light!

At that moment, as the Purple Lightning Sword, stained with its blood, shot into the air, its blade suddenly pulsed with iridescent light. Chen Mobai instantly felt a sharp sting in his divine consciousness, as if he had been pierced by a keen arrow.

*Master, this demonic beast's blood is highly poisonous…* The Purple Lightning Sword's alarmed telepathic message sounded, and Chen Mobai then saw the iridescent light on the blade of the Fifth-Tier flying sword intensify, causing his divine consciousness to suffer a second intense pain.

Chen Mobai quickly realized this was Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's desperate measure. Unexpectedly, the True Spirit power of the Rainbow Serpent could not only harm the flying sword's spirit but also travel along the sword to injure the sword wielder. If the Purple Lightning Sword hadn't absorbed half the damage, and if the Phoenix Facing the Sun Art's immunity to all poisons hadn't filtered out most of it, Chen Mobai's Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness would likely have suffered severe damage, or even direct mental derangement, from this single attack.

After realizing this, Chen Mobai's mind had already been hit for the third time. Although he could still endure it with the help of the Phoenix Facing the Sun Art, Chen Mobai's combat instincts led him to make a choice at that moment. He issued one final command to the Purple Lightning Sword, then severed his communion with the Fifth-Tier flying sword! Once the Purple Lightning Sword was no longer his Natal companion, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's true spirit power could naturally no longer travel through it to destabilize his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.

Old Ancestor Poison Dragon quickly discovered this as well! It glanced at the Purple Lightning Sword in mid-air, which was bearing the full brunt of its true spirit power and beginning to tumble erratically. With a sinister grin, it gripped the trident in its hand, completely ignoring the heavenly tribulation above, and charged directly at Chen Mobai like a massive cannonball.

*Huh, this trident…* At close range, Chen Mobai seemed to notice something. Immediately, his figure flickered with silver light, transforming into an afterimage and vanishing from his spot the moment the trident descended above his head.

With a thud! The trident struck heavily, and a fissure instantly split open in the ground. The entire desolate island was cleaved in two, with the impact point as its center. Such terrifying power, if Chen Mobai had faced it head-on, even with a magical artifact to block, would likely have consumed a colossal amount of Pure Yang True Qi.

Chen Mobai reappeared beside the falling Purple Lightning Sword. Because the sword body was covered in highly toxic Rainbow Serpent essence blood, he dared not touch it directly. Instead, he manipulated the Taiyi Five Smoke Veil to form a five-colored cloud hand, grasping the sword and flinging it directly towards the center of the tribulation clouds in the sky. The Purple Lightning Sword was of the utmost Yang and rigidity, and the heavenly tribulation contained power specifically targeting the Rainbow Serpent's true spirit. He believed that with the help of the tribulation's power, the potent venom on the sword's blade could be purified.

At this moment, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon had once again charged in front of Chen Mobai. As its trident swung, the boundless waters of Yunmeng Marsh transformed into raging waves, sealing off all surrounding space. It believed Chen Mobai had just used an extremely fast escape art, and that by sealing off space, it could force him into a direct confrontation. Unfortunately, the power of Void Walk allowed Chen Mobai to vanish directly from the center of the seamless, surging waves.

Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's brows furrowed after it swung into empty space again. However, at this point, it had already turned its gaze towards the final heavenly tribulation in the sky, ignoring Chen Mobai, and directly charged towards the center of the tribulation, brandishing its trident. It intended to first pass this heavenly tribulation, and then properly deal with this human cultivator.

But halfway through its flight, a biting, bone-chilling cold erupted from behind Old Ancestor Poison Dragon, and a clear, brilliant sword light slashed towards the back of its head. Old Ancestor Poison Dragon sneered, ignoring the attack and directly taking the sword strike head-on.

*Clang!* The slender blade of the Azure Frost Sword struck the dark scales, sparking vigorously, and the sword body actually bent slightly. Chen Mobai even heard a muffled groan from the Azure Frost Sword's spirit, seeming displeased with itself, yet also somewhat unwilling.

*Master, I'm sorry…* The Azure Frost Sword's telepathic message appeared in his mind. Chen Mobai immediately reassured it, explaining that it was his fault because the Pure Yang True Qi's attributes were incompatible with the sword, preventing it from unleashing its full power. Hearing this, the Azure Frost Sword felt its master was truly considerate.

"Let's continue to attack and buy Purple Lightning a chance for its final strike!" Chen Mobai reached out and grasped the Azure Frost Sword, casting the Enlightenment Pact, thereby making this Fourth-Tier peak flying sword his own Natal flying sword.

At this moment, he again felt something amiss. The moment the Azure Frost Sword became his Natal flying sword, the Azure Sky Sword Manual, which had previously existed only as text in his mind, began to evolve from mere words into a complete sword intent. It was as if he had transformed into an unparalleled female sword immortal, achieving the supreme Fourth-Tier peak sword intent from nothing, by grasping and practicing with the sword.

*Master? Are you the old master?* At this moment, the Azure Frost Sword's telepathic message, full of confusion, echoed in Chen Mobai's mind. It was bewildered, unable to distinguish. If he could evolve the Purple Radiance Sword Intent, it might have been due to Chen Mobai's long-term communion with the Purple Lightning Sword, coupled with the compatibility of his Pure Yang True Qi with its attributes. However, his current ability to comprehend and evolve the Azure Sky Sword Intent definitely wasn't for that reason.

Chen Mobai activated the Inch-Sized Book, reviewing something he hadn't focused on for a long time, and immediately found the answer. "No, this is merely a sword intent I cultivated, extracted from your sword body's past, the sword intent most suitable for you to unleash your power!"

Unbeknownst to him, the Heaven-Severing Lifeline Evergreen Sword Intent, which had been stuck at 99% progress, had now crossed the final 1% and reached 100%. Chen Mobai had obtained this sword intent very early on through the Grand Dao Tree, but he had never been able to comprehend it. Even with the Self-Contemplation function of the Crown of Heaven and Earth's Myriad Beings, there was initial progress, but it consistently stalled at 99%. Clearly, if a cultivator's own essence didn't match this Evergreen Sword Intent, they would never be able to comprehend or utilize it. Chen Mobai was never one to put all his eggs in one basket, so he hadn't paid attention to it since. Now, however, he seemed to meet the conditions.

A clear and pure sword intent permeated his mind like flowing water. In Chen Mobai's pupils, the scene of him receiving this sword intent inheritance before the Grand Dao Tree suddenly reappeared. He ultimately became a branch bobbing in flowing water, yet held fast by a spiderweb. In this uncontrollable state of life and death, the branch intercepted all available vitality it could reach, sustaining its own existence, until the first tender bud sprouted on it…

So, this was the Heaven-Severing Lifeline Evergreen Sword Intent! Chen Mobai realized that the Heavenly Venerate was a spirit plant that, after its emergence, intercepted the vitality of all creation to nourish its own growth and sprouting. All phenomena of nature, even those considered natural disasters by sentient beings like storms, lightning, fire, and frost, were but a glimmer of vitality on the Heavenly Venerate's path to growth. After the Heavenly Venerate transformed, it evolved this Heaven-Severing Lifeline Evergreen Sword Intent from this experience.

This sword intent was profound and vast, even involving the supreme mysteries of intercepting heaven and earth's rules and the profound insights of the Grand Dao. Clearly, it was also the most exquisite and core part of the Heavenly Venerate's Dao Fruit. Chen Mobai could only grasp the rudiments of it now, but even so, this sword intent was already incredibly powerful and terrifying. As long as he wished, he could extract that particular thread from the flying sword's past, tracing back to its origin to find the most powerful sword intent for it to unleash its might, which would then be evolved by the Evergreen Sword Intent.

This was precisely why Chen Mobai, with his sword heart linked to the Purple Lightning Sword, had previously evolved Grandmaster Qingshi's Purple Radiance Sword Intent, using the heavenly tribulation to elevate the power of this Fifth-Tier flying sword to an unprecedented level. He had even leveraged this to integrate all his profound foundations, deducing a path to imbue his Nascent Soul using the Purple Radiance Sword Manual. This was also because the Purple Lightning Sword was indeed powerful and exceptionally spiritual, holding the possibility of serving as a vessel for a Nascent Soul. Now that Chen Mobai had extracted Grandmaster Qingjing's Azure Sky Sword Intent, the Inch-Sized Book and the Crown of Heaven and Earth's Myriad Beings showed no reaction. This indicated that the Azure Frost Sword was not qualified to serve as a vessel for his Nascent Soul. Or rather, the path of the Azure Sky Sword Manual was incompatible with him.

With this thought, Chen Mobai's left hand, which had been behind his back, drew out the Sea-Calming Sword from his spatial domain. Unfortunately, his Heaven-Severing Lifeline Evergreen Sword Intent was still only at the introductory level. Without a sword spirit cooperating and his sword heart linked with it, even though he could see the three threads, he could only trace back a portion, unable to fully extract the sword intents of all three Divine Transformation True Monarchs from past eras. Nevertheless, Chen Mobai could still unleash even greater power from the Sea-Calming Sword. Perhaps it could become the decisive move to turn the tide of this battle!

With this in mind, Chen Mobai retrieved the Profound Dark Heavy Water stored within the sword hilt, then released the Sea-Calming Sword from his hand. This top-grade Fifth-Tier flying sword, concealed by the surging Azure Sky Sword Intent, silently descended onto the cracked ground of the island. The incredibly sharp Sea-Calming Sword, guided by Chen Mobai's divine consciousness, effortlessly plunged into the ground, traveling underground until it reached the area beneath the altar in front of the Yellow Dragon Grotto's spatial portal. Since the seal had long been broken, the altar possessed no power. Under Chen Mobai's control, the Sea-Calming Sword, tip pointing upwards, quietly pierced into it.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon was already brandishing its trident, enduring the bone-chilling Azure Frost Sword at its back, and charging directly into the center of the heavenly tribulation clouds. Accompanied by crisp clanging sounds, the Azure Frost Sword seemed to be playing a tune upon the dark scales on Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's back.

At this moment, Chen Mobai injected his drop of Profound Dark Heavy Water into the Azure Frost Sword. Then, the Azure Sky Sword Intent he had extracted in his mind perfectly merged with the essence of the Black Water Art. Using the grand technique of "A Drop Becomes a Sword," all the icy sword intent was condensed into a single point at the sword tip.

Crack! The Azure Frost Sword underwent extreme sublimation, and this strike achieved a Fifth-Tier level. A piece of black scale on Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's neck, found by the Inch-Sized Book to be the most flexible yet weakest, was cleaved open. The tip of the Azure Frost Sword pierced one inch into Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's back neck!

Chen Mobai was about to activate the Azure Sky Sword Intent again, but he felt the Azure Frost Sword's spirit wailing in pain. From the wound where the sword tip had pierced, iridescent blood glowed, and the Rainbow Serpent's true spirit power erupted once more. Chen Mobai immediately guided the Azure Frost Sword to pull out, then, enduring the excruciating pain of his mind being attacked, he severed their communion.

At that moment, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon, even before the heavenly tribulation struck, spun around and, with a sinister grin, swung its trident, powerfully smashing it towards Chen Mobai. "Although my true spirit power doesn't affect you much, it can make you unable to concentrate for this instant. Die…"

Old Ancestor Poison Dragon had cultivated for two thousand years and possessed immense combat experience. Its direct charge towards the heavenly tribulation this time meant that if it passed, it would signify its entry onto the grand path of demon cultivation. But if Chen Mobai stopped it, it could also use this opportunity to eliminate this human tribulation. In any case, it was advantageous for it. After eliminating Chen Mobai, it could pass its heavenly tribulation with complete peace of mind.

Golden lines in Chen Mobai's left pupil had completely outlined Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's form. The Inch-Sized Book, integrating the information he had gathered, provided the most perfect countermeasure in this critical situation: Use Primordial True Qi to dispel the water-element demonic energy on the trident, then resist with the Fifth-Tier Heavenly Origin Orb. After enduring this wave of attacks, immediately depart using Void Walk.

Chen Mobai complied, opening his mouth and expelling radiant, multicolored Primordial True Qi onto the trident. Although his true qi volume was vastly inferior to Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's demonic energy, the divine ability left by True Monarch Yiyuan was truly formidable. The moment the Primordial True Qi landed on the trident, the powerful water-element demonic energy attached to it instantly dissipated by 80-90%!

"You're a descendant of that Primordial brat, very well, then! Let's settle both old and new scores. After I kill you today, I'll immediately head to the Eastern Wasteland and utterly destroy that Primordial brat's Five Elements Sect…" The moment it saw the Primordial True Qi, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's eyes turned even redder. Although only 10-20% of its demonic energy remained on the trident, its physical body possessed terrifying strength, nearly at the Fifth-Tier level. The Fifth-Tier light barrier supported by the Heavenly Origin Orb continuously twisted and deformed under the immense force of the trident's impact, appearing as though it would shatter at any moment. But a Fifth-Tier magical artifact was indeed extraordinary, and it ultimately helped Chen Mobai block this fatal blow.

"Brat, you will surely die today!" However, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon had now completely gone mad. Iridescent light seeped from the crevices of the dark scales on its wrist; it was again using the true spirit power contained within its essence blood, spreading it over the Heavenly Origin Orb's light barrier. After a dazzling burst of multicolored light, both the light barrier and the true spirit power simultaneously shattered.

At this moment, the turmoil in Chen Mobai's mind was almost calm; he was only one breath away from being able to use Void Walk. However, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's trident had already reached above his head. Chen Mobai expelled the last of the Primordial True Qi within him, dispelling his opponent's powerful water-element demonic energy. Ignoring the Inch-Sized Book's suggestion to detonate his Pure Yang Immortal Robe or the Taiyi Five Smoke Veil to block the tribulation, he chose the sliver of inspiration that instinctively arose in his mind.

He raised his left hand, and a brilliant golden light surged forth, then made contact with the trident descending towards his head. The powerful and fierce force instantly split open his palm, sending flesh and blood flying, shattering his finger bones. Even his arm began to become a bloody mess, with its joints breaking inch by inch.

However, at this moment, Chen Mobai's Treasure-Shedding Golden Light had already seeped into the trident. Old Ancestor Poison Dragon immediately felt that its magical artifact, which it had refined for a millennium, had suddenly lost its connection to it, stopping right before Chen Mobai's face. Old Ancestor Poison Dragon was momentarily bewildered, but quickly reacted, directly swinging the trident with sheer physical force, intending to slay the young man before it.

Rumble, rumble. At this moment, the tribulation clouds in the sky had completely contracted, revealing a purplish-red sword: the Purple Lightning Sword, now refined by all the heavenly tribulation's power after being cleansed of the Rainbow Serpent venom. It seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis, its blade becoming crystalline, like purple jade, shimmering with terrifying brilliance amidst endless lightning.

Although Chen Mobai had severed his communion with the Purple Lightning Sword, it always regarded him as its dearest master and thus obeyed his last given command. It condensed all the heavenly tribulation's power, suppressing the spiritual injuries severely inflicted by the Rainbow Serpent venom, and fiercely slashed down at Old Ancestor Poison Dragon, who was right before it! Concurrently, Chen Mobai had already performed Void Walk, vanishing from Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's sight!

The trident swung into empty space once more. Old Ancestor Poison Dragon instinctively wanted to wield this weapon to counter Purple Lightning Sword's ultimate strike, which was channeling the heavenly tribulation. But it found that although its demonic energy could be infused into the trident, it couldn't unleash the weapon's full power as it usually did. A profoundly unfamiliar sensation made it feel as though it was using this weapon for the very first time, making its movements incredibly clumsy. Consequently, its speed in wielding the trident slowed considerably. Even though it turned in time, it couldn't first use this weapon, forged from Fifth-Tier Profound Dark Cold Iron, to weaken the Purple Lightning Sword's power. Left with no choice, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon could only infuse its demonic energy into the dark scales on its body's surface, hoping that its two-thousand-year-cultivated armor could block this sword strike!

The earth-shattering lightning transformed from the Purple Lightning Sword struck heavily upon the scales at Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's neck, its most flexible yet weakest defended area. A streak of iridescent blood flashed. The moment its scales were breached, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon also desperately unleashed the true spirit power it had cultivated, attempting to shatter the Purple Lightning Sword's spirit.

Silver light flickered as Chen Mobai appeared before Old Ancestor Poison Dragon. In the state granted by the Inch-Sized Book, his gaze calm and cold, he grasped the Purple Lightning Sword and injected the innate Pure Yang True Qi, which he had never used before, into the sword. The Purple Lightning Sword, originally in pain from the impact of the Rainbow Serpent's power, instantly gained infinite strength. With a flash of sword light, it pierced through Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's scales and impaled its neck.

Old Ancestor Poison Dragon let out a pained roar. Its body, originating from the wound on its neck, surprisingly began to crack. Its eyes were filled with disbelief, unable to accept that its defenses had been breached head-on! Are sword cultivators truly this terrifying?! Not far away, Wen Buyue and others, witnessing this scene through the ice mirror, were utterly shocked!

Clang! At this critical moment of life and death, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon also displayed its combat experience, directly smashing its trident onto the Purple Lightning Sword's blade. Although its neck was further cut open as a result, it managed to break free from this tribulation sword. It then flew towards the altar on the island below without looking back. The heavenly tribulation had vanished, signifying the successful cultivation of its true spirit bloodline. There was no longer any need to risk its life fighting this terrifying sword cultivator!

But how could Chen Mobai allow it to escape? He injected the last of his Pure Yang True Qi into the Purple Lightning Sword, beginning to feign strength. Using the Purple Radiance Sword Intent, he channeled the power of heaven and earth, transforming it into purple lightning that thrust towards Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's back neck. Old Ancestor Poison Dragon directly hurled the Fourth-Tier trident, refined from Fifth-Tier materials, from its hand. After blocking the Purple Lightning Sword in mid-air, its body had already landed on the altar. Seeing the spatial portal leading home, it couldn't help but sigh in relief. Once it returned to the Yellow Dragon Grotto and recovered its vitality with the help of the Fifth-Tier spiritual vein, solidifying its true spirit bloodline, it would be the time for it to lead its myriad demonic beasts to bathe the Eastern Wasteland in blood.

Old Ancestor Poison Dragon flicked its tail, preparing to leap from the altar into the spatial portal. At this very moment, the Sea-Calming Sword, hidden within the altar, thrust out. Guided by Chen Mobai's divine consciousness, it precisely pierced into the tail wound previously created by the Purple Lightning Sword. This area lacked the defense of dark scales. Chen Mobai had deliberately avoided attacking this spot, saving it precisely for this strike!

The Fifth-Tier Sea-Calming Sword, as if cutting through tofu, effortlessly pierced into Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's tail wound. Its Fourth-Tier peak physical body was utterly incapable of stopping this top-tier flying sword from an immortal sect. The Sea-Calming Sword easily perforated its lower body, entering its chest cavity. Finally, its blue-green blade emerged from the neck wound created by the Purple Lightning Sword, before disappearing into the top of Old Ancestor Poison Dragon's head. Unfortunately, its crown was protected by dark scales, which the Sea-Calming Sword, without sword intent augmentation, could not pierce.

But this was already enough! Old Ancestor Poison Dragon, its Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness pierced, stared with wide eyes, a look of disbelief on its face. In the final moments of its life, it saw silver light flicker before its eyes, and Chen Mobai's figure appeared before it. He raised his left hand, which had been almost broken by the trident. After realigning the bones, a rich green light of vitality emerged. Like time reversing, muscles, skin, and blood reappeared. A few breaths later, Chen Mobai's injuries were fully healed.
