Fang Yuan received the Demon Dragonâs strike, seemingly unable to evade in time, and the strike perfectly delivered him toward the Lord Pan Palace.
Dense blood-colored light emitted from his body, making him appear like a giant, bloody man. He was flung directly into the palace.
âHehe⊠What a sly lad!â
Sky Fiend Dao Master let out a hostile laugh and charged toward the Lord Pan Palace.
The Demon Dragon curled up as if it was forming a Long Coiling Snake Array, concealing the Lord Pan Palace and its own vulnerability.
Faced with such a scene, even Ghosteye became anxious.
âThe Demon Dragon is protecting the Lord Pan Palace with its body and clearly wonât take the initiative to attack. Thatâs troublesome!â
Ghosteye said quickly, âHow about fighting our way out of this place? As long as we block the exit, Nangong Wuwang will be as good as dead!â
The Heaven Deity Palace would only be opened for a limited period of time. Once he missed the deadline, he would have no chance of survival!
âA mere Demon Dragon!â
Ba Dao roared with rage and wielded his saber again.
A giant, golden dragon suddenly rose from the Spring Autumn Dragon Saber in brilliant golden light. âDie! The Proud Dragon Repents!â
The concentrated saber radiance appeared as if an ancient divine dragon was descending into the world once more.
Even the Demon Dragon bowed its head in awe.
Blood splattered from the wounds on the Demon Dragonâs body, but it seemed determined to maintain its posture without any sign of relaxation.
Ba Dao can actually cause such damage when he fights with full strengthâŠÂ Ghosteye was astonished when he witnessed this. Furthermore⊠why are they so insistent? Could they have obtained some information about a treasure that they canât let go of in this palace?
With this thought, he looked at Sky Fiend Dao Master doubtfully.
âSince you have this interest, how can I let you fight alone?â
Sky Fiend Dao Master smiled. His Sky Fiend Claw emitted dark light around him, and the light transformed into the illusion of a frightening demon.
âGreat! Thatâs how Sky Fiend Dao Master should be!â Ba Dao laughed. âWe might be able to slaughter this beast if we collaborate!â
While the top Divine Armament owner and Demonic Armament owner were fighting against the Demon Dragon outsideâŠ
Fang Yuan strolled through the Lord Pan Palace with the Blood Imbibing Saber.
Although this palace was huge, there was only a single core room. The vast room had all sorts of murals on its bronze walls.
âPan opened the world and created all lifeâŠâ Fang Yuan understood the exact meaning conveyed by the first bronze mural. âThis should be describing Panâs accomplishment, as well as the virtue manifested by him transforming into the Celestial Thearch Sword to protect the worldâŠâ
The bronze mural in the end suddenly changed, its vast aura shocking Fang Yuan. âThis is⊠Lord Panâs Dao! He could actually express his Dao path through a catalog!â
The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao 1 .
But in fact, the idea that a Great Dao was too mysterious to be expressed was an utter joke!
The lack of deep understanding about the Dao was the only reason why it could not be expressed in the correct form.
Otherwise, any Dao path could ultimately be expressed through martial arts, magical powers, images, and even fantastical symbols.
As the Creator God, Lord Pan injected all of his Dao here. It was extremely precious!
Even the Sanguine Demon was speechless.
Having obtained all of this, I can attempt to form my own Dao path with the aid of the Heavenly Eye Seer Spell after I return!
Fang Yuan felt extremely satisfied.
Even as an incarnation, he had benefited a lot.
At least, his barrier faced at 9-Essence Demon Master was quietly but smoothly broken through in his original body, bringing his aura to a profound and immeasurable realm.
âI see!â shouted the Sanguine Demonâs Essence Soul suddenly. âThe Celestial Thearch Sword isnât here, but the Celestial Thearch Sword Formulation isâŠâ
The Celestial Thearch Sword Formulation was the expression of Panâs Dao in the form of swordsmanship!
While martial arts that might surpass the heaven-grade was sealed inside the Celestial Thearch Sword, its source was Panâs Dao, which was recorded here!
Therefore, this place could be regarded as Panâs real inheritance.
âAlso⊠the Celestial Thearch Sword may be hidden here as well.â
As Fang Yuan read the murals, his aura became more uncertain, and his tone was increasingly unpredictable. Realizing this, the Sanguine Demon lapsed into silence.
âThis is the Divine Demon realm of martial artists!â
Fang Yuan exhaled and laughed gently when he reached the last mural.
He had been only a single step away from the Divine Demon realm. After seeing the God Pan Catalog, he broke through the barrier, and his stats changed significantly:
âName: Fang Yuan (Nangong Wuwang)
Cultivation: Divine Demon Realm
Technique: Six Extremes Armament Commandeering Art (Third Realm), Great Sanguine Demon Technique
Specialization: Botany [Level Six] (Maximum), Heavenly Eye Seer Spell (Fake), Body of Origin Power, Demonic ArmamentâBlood Imbibing Saberâ
âThe Divine Demon realm?â
Fang Yuan smiled, not taking it seriously at all.
He had been at the top position of a world so many times that he no longer felt exhilarated by it.
What truly intrigued him was the last mural of the God Pan Catalog.
It was the image of Pan sacrificing himself and transforming into the Celestial Thearch Sword. He took a glance at it and immediately felt fierce Sword Qi surging out of it.
Amid the Sword Qi, there were traces of Saber Qi, making it a spectacular scene.
Fang Yuan noticed that at the end of the catalog, someone had carved seven âslaughterâs with a saber! Each of the words was distinct from the rest, with the Buddhist understanding of large-scale annihilation and silence. It seemed to convey the idea that righteousness was at the end of a demonâs path, and that a demon who renounced his saber could immediately become a Buddha.
âThe Lord Pan Palace is made of a mysterious material that can repair itself even after damage. It would be extremely difficult for a common Divine Armament owner to leave behind these carvings. Unless⊠he was a martial artist in the Divine Demon realm!â
Fang Yuan walked closer to the wall, immediately finding a line below the seven big âslaughterâs. âMy name is Nie Kuang. Iâve been the owner of the Demonic Armament, Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber, since I was twenty years old. Iâve killed people all over the world, but I achieved enlightenment after entering the Heaven Deity Palace and seeing Lord Panâs inheritance. Thus, I sealed the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber hereâŠâ
âThe previous owner of the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber, Nie Kuang?!
âI heard that he was the utmost demon in this world, and the entire Pugilistic World was scared of him. A few holy grounds were exterminated and nearly couldnât pass down their inheritanceâŠ
âWho wouldâve expected⊠that he disappeared from the Pugilistic World because he sealed himself here? Presumably, he wanted the secret in the Lord Pan Palace, and that Demon Dragon wasnât strong enough to stop him. However, he achieved enlightenment after seeing the God Pan Catalog? And he sealed the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber here to prevent it from causing disasters?â
Fang Yuan generally deduced what had happened.
Pan was equivalent to a true Demon God! His Dao was extremely tempting in the eyes of great beings on the verge of a breakthrough.
The Sanguine Demonâs Essence Soul had his own Dao path, and Fang Yuan was in the middle of forming his own using past experience. This was why neither of them were shaken by it. If any other Demon Masters had entered this place, they would most probably submit themselves to God Panâs Dao.
To Demon Masters, this would be equivalent to adopting an External Dao! With a corrupted foundation, it would be impossible for them to make further progress!
âNie Kuang was an illustrious man in his generation. Itâs a pity that he didnât see through it in the end!â
Fang Yuan let out a faint sigh.
âWait a moment⊠Whereâs the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber?â asked the Sanguine Demonâs Essence Soul. They could see everything in this vast but empty palace, yet there was no trace of the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber nor Nie Kuangâs corpse.
âItâs pretty simple. Since Nie Kuang sealed himself here, he wouldnât want to be discovered by intruders! Besides⊠the seven âslaughterâs are peculiar, and I suspect that he didnât leave them behind on purpose. Instead, he shouldâve been influenced by the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber. After all, this Demonic Armament can control oneâs soul. It was a crucial reason why Nie Kuang had slaughtered so many people⊠and it wouldnât want to be sealed up like this forever!â
Fang Yuan took a step forward. âSanguine Demon⊠Didnât you boast that your power wouldnât be weaker than the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber after recovering? Hereâs your opportunity to show it. Donât disappoint me!â
âHold on a second! My Essence Soul has yet to be completely repaired, and my fragments are still missingâŠâ protested the Sanguine Demon immediately.
He knew his own capability. The Blood Imbibing Saber would currently not fear the fourth Divine Armament and Demonic Armament, but if he was told to confront the top Demonic Armament, the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber, which was only second to the Celestial Thearch Sword? He had better act prudently.
However, Fang Yuan did not care about the complaint. He touched the first of the seven âslaughterâs with his finger.
A shocking stream of Saber Qi and demonic thoughts immediately flowed through his fingertip into his sea of consciousness.
âSlaughter! Slaughter! Slaughter!
âHeaven is unjust! Slaughter it! Earth is unfair! Slaughter it! Mortals have no principle! Slaughter them! Everything in the world can be slaughtered!
âMartial artists should slaughter others without sympathy. Your undertaking will be remembered eternally if you keep slaughtering!â
Frightening murderous impulse pounded Fang Yuanâs mind like mighty waves.
âWith such intense murderous impulse, itâs no wonder that the owner of the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber in every generation was a homicidal maniacâŠâ
Fang Yuan sneered. His mind was as firm as a massive rock, and the murderous thoughts crumbled upon hitting it, scattering saber moves and saber intents.
âThe Sky Fiend Seven Slaughter Saber Technique?â Fang Yuan studied it carefully. âWhile its interpretation about a Great Dao is slightly inferior to God Panâs, the killing techniques are enough to shock the heavens and the earth!â
His finger traced the seven âslaughterâs continuously.
As expected, after receiving attacks from countless murderous impulses, he completely mastered the Sky Fiend Seven Slaughter Style.
Moreover, when he finished the last stroke, the bronze wall shook violently and crumbled, revealing a space behind it.
Saber radiance gleamed. Fang Yuan could immediately see a martial artist, about thirty years old, sitting cross-legged in the space behind the wall. He was holding on to a black saber!
Nie Kuang! The Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber!
âHe⊠took the form of a Vajrasattva after death?!â
It looked as if Nie Kuangâs corpse was alive, and Fang Yuan had to acknowledge that this previous owner of the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber was a handsome man.
Furthermore, he had been dead for so many years, but his corpse was mysteriously free from rotting. Instead, it became harder than diamond.
Meanwhile, the Demon Dragon shrieked pathetically outside the Lord Pan Palace. Its giant head rolled onto the ground, and blood poured out like a waterfall!
