"Crack—"

Another crack appeared on the Stone Sword, expanding. The seal couldn't hold on for much longer; the Sword God would soon break free.

Perhaps earlier, it wouldn't have been so quick, but when Qing Yu plunged the Heavenly Talent Sword's tip into the Sword God Lake, it essentially handed the Sword God a key to unlocking the seal.

The original owner of the Heavenly Talent Sword was the Sword God himself, and even after nine hundred years apart, this sword was still under his command. When the sword tip flew into the Sword God Lake, it was drawn by him and fiercely pierced into the Stone Sword, hastening the collapse of the seal.

"Young friend, could I ask for your help?" the Sword God said.

"Oh? I am curious to hear what help I could offer the Sword God," Qing Yu asked with apparent interest.

"It's quite simple. I have been trapped in the seal for nine hundred years, unable to absorb a sliver of Spiritual Energy. Though I'm starting to break free now, my body is still in a state of decay. I observe you possess vigorous energy and blood, comparable to the Supreme. Could you infuse some of your energy and blood into me to nourish my body, helping me to escape sooner?"

The Sword God said solemnly, "I see you are also a practitioner of the sword. Once I'm free, I will surely impart all my swordsmanship to you, aiding you to achieve supremacy."

However, Qing Yu remained unmoved by the Sword God's proposal, replying calmly, "But I heard that the reason the Sword God was so easily sealed back then was mainly due to your direct disciple. Moreover, nourishing a Supreme's body might cost me more than half my life."

In his prime, the Sword God could definitely rival the Sword God and might have even surpassed them. Nourishing his body would deplete at least ninety percent of Qing Yu's energy and blood, leaving him vulnerable here, only able to hope for the Sword God's protection.

"I was indeed curious why I could reach the Lake Heart Island so quickly, while those over there are still trapped in the Sword Lake Thousand Shadows. It's because they covet my energy and blood," Qing Yu said calmly, looking at those still not ashore in the distance.

At this moment, a few more seven or eight shadowy figures appeared in the Sword Lake Thousand Shadows, each one possessing strength at the Divinity Realm level, employing various Sword God Lake skills to trap Mo Guming and the other two groups above the lake.

"The Ten Thousand Sword Sealing Tribulation Array must have been mostly corroded by you, right?"

"Correct," the Sword God admitted, "Using sword against sword is a good strategy. Even I was trapped by the countless swords in Sword Immersion Lake combined with the Ten Thousand Sword Sealing Tribulation Array for centuries.

But using sword against sword can't forever entrap a myth in the Sword Dao. Two hundred years ago, I was already sending my Divine Thought through the seal, wandering within several zhang. A hundred and fifty years ago, the Ten Thousand Sword Sealing Tribulation Array got damaged, giving me the best opportunity.

Since then, using sword against sword started reversing. It wasn't Sword Immersion Lake and the Ten Thousand Sword Sealing Tribulation Array suppressing me, but rather me beginning to control them."

The Sword God's expression was one of frankness, as if he had no intention of hiding anything. Or rather, he disdained to hide the truth.

"Young friend, you are right; I do covet your energy and blood. Indeed, back then, my beloved disciple feared that I, the Sword God, might truly become the Sword Demon, so he was persuaded by others to strike first. However, my previous promise was not a lie... "

The Sword God looked directly into Qing Yu's eyes without dodging, "If you assist me in breaking free, I, Yu Chen, will certainly impart all my martial arts to you. This is the truth beyond doubt."

The Sword God's demeanor was such that he disdained lying. If Qing Yu could assist him, there was a ninety percent chance that the Sword God would live up to his words, aiding Qing Yu to become a Supreme.

The remaining ten percent possibility lay with Qing Yu's suspicion. If Qing Yu were less suspicious, the success probability could increase.

But Qing Yu's response was...

"I refuse," Qing Yu said without hesitation.

If it were just about lending a hand, Qing Yu might have helped, but contributing energy and blood was out of the question.

The path to breakthrough was already laid; only a little remained. Without the Sword God's help, Qing Yu could still rely on his own strength to break through.

On the contrary, helping the Sword God might delay his breakthrough. If he were to die due to lost combat power in Sword God Lake, Qing Yu would have to spend significant time to rebirth and separate himself.

Thus, Qing Yu absolutely could not agree. He wouldn't make such a significant sacrifice for uncertain returns to help the Sword God.

"Is that so? In that case, don't blame me for taking by force,"

The Sword God's shadow lifted the right hand with two fingers extended, slowly forming a Qi Sword, revealing an unstoppable sharpness.

Even while not yet free, even if this was just a shadow clone, the Sword God was still confident he was no weaker than others.

Most of the Ten Thousand Sword Sealing Tribulation Array's functions were controlled by the Sword God, while those shadowy figures in the Sword Lake Thousand Shadows were manipulated by him. Therefore, even a shadow clone could exert Divinity Realm combat power.

"I sense a Qi Mechanism constantly lingering outside, that of someone possessing two strands of Heavenly Demon Evil Qi. In my current state, even when free, I might not escape unscathed from them, so I need to restore my body somewhat."

Raising the condensed Qi Sword, an undeniably supreme sword momentum filled the heaves and earth with a strong, absolute presence at the peak of Sword Dao.

The oppressive aura overlooking the world, even those trapped within the Sword Lake Thousand Shadows, was awestruck, involuntarily looking towards this side.

Qing Yu, the main target of this aura, however, was calm, expressionless, merely unsheathing the Nirvana Sword, saying coolly, "Are you afraid of dying?"

After dreaming for a month, Qing Yu had countless times encountered entities far more powerful than the Sword God. Although those were mere dreams, during the last few days, Qing Yu had faced the true visage of Nuwa.

As formidable as the Sword God was, compared to Nuwa, who could reach Five and a Half Stars Level with just a drop of blood, the Sword God was still far behind.

"It's not fear of death, but I don't want to die," the Sword God shook his head, "I've reached the end of Divine Communication, the pinnacle of Supremes. If I die without witnessing a higher realm, how can I resign?

With these words, the Sword God struck.

Having decided to take by force, he executed with no hesitation. The Sword God was passionate about the sword throughout his life, nothing else. Those dare hinder his pursuit of Sword Dao, die!

The Qi Sword came down, Tribulation Qi followed closely, a gray aura shrouded the Qi Sword, bringing Qing Yu a strong sense of threat.

"Tribulation arises."

At this moment, the Sword God shed all previous friendliness, his icy visage bore relentless resolve, the sharp coldness of the sword edge held lethal intent.

Only now did this Ten Thousand Tribulations Sky Demon reveal his true demonic nature, the sword edge opening tribulation, annihilating heaven and earth.
