'Just by relying on a broken sword, it can emit Sword Qi that tears through space. The brilliance of its peak is evident…'

Qing Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if afraid the brilliance would hurt them, and looked up at the converging Divine Sword. His eyelids shielded the blood light in his eyes, making it difficult for others to notice the anomaly within them.

Very peculiar, the Blood Tears Eye was possessed by another body, merged into that body, yet this body, which hadn't merged with the one in the Zhenwu Sect, also possessed the Blood Tears Eye.

It seems the Blood Tears Eye doesn't exist within the physical body but rather within the soul. Only thus can the current situation be explained, can we understand why the Blood Tears Eye remains after reincarnation.

"Zing—"

Another long sword hum echoed, Heavenly Talent Sword slowly descended, its tip pointing downward, piercing into the fog outside the peak.

Under the rapt attention of all, the sword tip of the Heavenly Talent Sword touched the mist, as if inserted into water, causing ripples to spread.

"Sword God Lake is finally about to open." Bai Xingkong and the others murmured, with an inclination towards old tears cascading.

"One hundred and fifty years ago, the last master of Sword God Lake summoned the Ten Thousand Sword Sealing Tribulation Array to kill the Sword God but failed disastrously, causing Heavenly Talent Sword to be broken. As a result, the sword array was corrupted by Demonic Qi, massacring all living beings within Sword God Lake.

Later, the master of Sword God Lake exerted his last strength, sacrificing his essence and his son's, causing the secret realm of Sword God Lake to merge with the Ten Thousand Sword Sealing Tribulation Array, completely sealing Sword God Lake.

This time, aside from being cautious of those from Buried Sword Peak, we must also be wary of the Demonic Qi and sword array within Sword God Lake. That Ten Thousand Tribulations Sky Demon was sealed into the great formation at his peak, who knows what he left behind before dying." Mo Guming whispered to Qing Yu.

"Outside, rumors say the Sword God killed the master and apprentice, seems not entirely true." Qing Yu replied.

"Certainly not, I myself mingled among the crowd watching the battle. The Sword God, though domineering and solitary, not bound by emotion, believed in repaying debts. Sword God Lake's master taught him martial arts, enabling him to succeed, naturally, he wouldn't bear harsh hands. But that master of Sword God Lake, tsk tsk, was truly ruthless."

At this, even Mo Guming clicked his tongue.

Nangong Duanjian, to sever ties with Nangong Family's birth gratitude, nurtured a King Qin Guang Nangong Jue for the Nangong Family. Sword God Lake's master was his mentor, even if they became enemies, Nangong Duanjian wouldn't truly dispose of him.

Instead, it was that master of Sword God Lake, with a heart to kill Nangong Duanjian.

Perhaps due to personal motives, or not wanting Nangong Duanjian to rise through Sword God Lake, he rashly activated the Ten Thousand Sword Sealing Tribulation Array, which resulted in Heavenly Talent Sword being broken, sealing errors, triggering later events.

Bai Xingkong and others thought it was an atrocity by Sword God Lake's master, and they weren't entirely wrong. But whether the master acted out of public interest or personal motives remains unknown.

The two were conversing telepathically when the fog below began to clear, faintly revealing a lake scene and dilapidated structures on the lake's path.

Merged with the secret realm, Sword God Lake, sealed in another space, finally opened.

Hate hate hate...

Kill!

Nangong Duanjian, you must die!

Die, I must kill you!

...

As Sword God Lake opened, fierce Sword Qi burst forth, filled with thoughts of killing intent and hatred, immersing everyone's mind, reminiscent of the great battle a hundred and fifty years ago.

"The remnants of those who died in the great battle, nurtured by the great formation, still linger to this day?!"

Bai Xingkong and others watched the shadowy buildings within the mist and the Sword Qi moving in the air, their eyes held nostalgia and pain.

If they had died in the battle back then, their voices would be among the remnants now.

"The wails of the defeated!"

Qing Yu's face was cold, his thoughts moved slightly, Only Consciousness Heart Sword swiftly cleared the incoming remnants. Beside him, Mo Guming also invoked Sword Intent to clear those resentful thoughts.

These two had no feelings for Sword God Lake, naturally, wouldn't allow remnants to disturb their minds.

"Hmm?"

As soon as the remnants were cleared, Qing Yu suddenly furrowed his brow, Sword Qi arose, "Courting death!"

Nirvana was unsheathed, Sword Qi sliced through the void before Heavenly Talent Sword.

"Palace Master Xiao, you..."

Bai Xingkong and others seeing this, all thought Qing Yu was trying to snatch the Heavenly Talent Sword, but Yuan Jianyi seemed to sense something, timely blocking Bai Xingkong and others from attacking.

Where Sword Qi struck, a palm appeared, palm force separated the Sword Qi, a transparent figure revealed its outline, reaching for Heavenly Talent in the air.

"'Demon Shadow' Bai Yan." Mo Guming said in a low voice.

Bai Yan had mastered "Heavenly Demon Shadowless" to the supernatural level, a strong figure from Respected Demon Hall, moving unseen, coming and going without a trace, truly the foremost master in the Demon Path. But based on Mo Guming's memory, the past Bai Yan, while elusive, was still detectable, but now...

Had Qing Yu not intervened, Bai Yan might already have succeeded.

'Bai Yan's Qinggong has advanced too eerily, seems the Demon Lord greatly benefited from Formless Heavenly Demon Qi.' Qing Yu had seen Bai Yan before. At the Taizhen Palace Debating Conference, it was disrupted midway due to demonic people's interferences.

Back then, Bai Yan from Heavenly Demon Palace came to Taizhen Palace, as a warrior at the Divinity Realm.

Bai Yan, at that time focused on speed, wasn't like now where Qi Mechanism was completely hidden, making detection impossible.

Recalling Elder Shiming's words, the Formless Heavenly Demon Qi was acquired by Demon Lord, it appears Bai Yan's progress came from there.

Without further thought, Qing Yu instantly flashed between Bai Yan and Heavenly Talent Sword, his sudden speed shocking Bai Yan.

"Bai Yan, cease your arrogance!"

By now, Bai Xingkong and others understood the situation, immediately aiming to intercept. Whether Bai Yan or Qing Yu, both were entities seen as dangerous by them, if given the chance, neither would shy from taking Heavenly Talent Sword.

"Vice Hall Master Bai, why stir your Heart Fire?"

A soft teasing voice came from behind, accompanied by Sword Qi, Sword Gang, and palm force.

More were present.

Shen Cangwu immediately recognized the thin-as-rain Sword Qi origin, exclaiming: "Vice Hall Master, it's Su Chengyu, along with those from Heavenly Demon Palace's Undecomposed Bones."

Seven Undecomposed Bones in total attacked, each a prominent warrior in the worldly society back in the day, undeniably having the combat power of the Divinity Realm.

Heavenly Demon Palace was undoubtedly well-prepared.

"Boom boom boom..."

In the sky, Qing Yu and Bai Yan engaged swiftly, within moments their palm force and Sword Qi clashed countless times, creating waves of energy. Both sides fought rapidly, exchanging hundreds of moves within just a few breaths.
