1076: Chapter 1075 Resurrecting the Three Demons, Affecting the Source

The Sky Demon was also sensing; his senses after being reborn seemed even sharper, and there was now a faint, strange connection between him and Luo Xiu.

He pushed his speed to the limit, hurtling toward the area where the tragic rearguard action had taken place.

The wind whistled past his ears as the scenery below receded rapidly.

He still saw scattered Battlefield Heroic Spiritss wandering along the way, but sensing the Sky Demon's undisguised Fifth Order pressure and cold Evil Qi, these spirits all retreated in terror, not daring to obstruct him in the slightest.

The closer he got to that battlefield, the thicker the aura of destruction and deathly stillness permeating the air became.

The scorched earth grew darker, and the ground was covered with crisscrossing giant ravines and deep pits—scars left by high-intensity energy collisions.

Space also appeared somewhat unstable, with occasional fine black cracks that were slowly healing.

Finally, that familiar area, ravaged by dark gold Sword Intent and various energies, appeared in his sight.

At the center, the terrifying depression over a kilometer in diameter formed by the Sword Demon's final outburst remained shocking to behold.

Inside the depression, the ground was in a strange vitrified crystalline state; the lingering aura of Sword Intent and God-Demon Flame had not yet fully dissipated, clashing with the deathly stillness of the battlefield itself with low crackling sounds.

At the edge of the depression lay a thick layer of black ash, finer than elsewhere—the remains of Heroic Spirits that had been completely annihilated.

The Sky Demon's heart suddenly sank.

His speed involuntarily slowed as he circled above the massive depression.

Luo Xiu's gaze had already locked onto the edges of the depression, where several spots had the highest concentration of energy residue and Karma traces.

He took a light step forward, descending from the Sky Demon's head and standing on the scorched, vitrified ground.

The first spot was near the original direction of the breakthrough.

There was an irregular area of charred black with dark red crystals, where fragments of fire-attribute dao marks from an extreme explosion remained in the air, along with a trace of the Flame Demon's violent Divine Soul aura, so faint it was almost undetectable.

Scattered on the ground were fragments like obsidian—the residue of the Flame Demon's Demon Body after it was completely incinerated and tempered by high temperature and impact.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

No intact body, not even any larger fragments of remains.

The second spot was a bit further away, near the flank.

The ground there was a sickening dark red, as if the soil had been soaked in foul blood and then dried, emitting a strong corrosive and malicious aura—the remains of the Origin Blood Marsh the Blood Demon had laid down at the end.

In the center of this dark red area was only a small pinch of powder, crystalline like rubies yet emitting a sky-piercing Evil Qi, about the size of a fingernail. These were fragments of the Blood Demon's blood armor; likewise, there were no remains.

Luo Xiu crouched down, extended two fingers, and gently pinched a small amount of the ruby-like powder. Dark gold light flowed at his fingertips as he sensed the Blood Demon's Origin within, which had almost completely dissipated yet still held a trace of stubborn obsession.

He glanced at the broken blood armor again, his heterochromatic eyes reflecting no emotion.

The third spot... Luo Xiu stood up and walked to the other side of the depression, near the core area where the Sword Demon had made his final stand against the four Peak Heroic Spirits.

The energy residue here was the most chaotic and powerful, with dark gold destructive Sword Intent, scorch marks from the God-Demon Flame, and various attribute Heroic Spirit golden pattern fragments... all entangled and annihilating each other.

A sword was thrust into the ground.

No, it couldn't be considered a complete sword.

It was a broken sword.

The blade had snapped near the hilt, the break jagged as if forced apart or smashed by some irresistible, immense power.

The remaining blade was still ancient and heavy, profound black in color, but it was covered in fine cracks like a spiderweb. The gray-white sword light that had once flowed along the edge had long since extinguished.

On the blade, there were still dried, blackened bloodstains belonging to the Sword Demon, as well as an extremely faint, unyielding remnant of Sword Intent.

The broken sword was thrust diagonally into the scorched earth, surrounded by fragments of black armor also covered in cracks, and several dark gold bone fragments that seemed harder than metal.

Similarly, no intact body could be found.

The Sword Demon's sword was broken.

The Sky Demon also landed, standing behind Luo Xiu. Looking at that solitary broken sword and the almost completely annihilated remains of the Flame Demon and Blood Demon, a cold, suffocating sorrow welled up from deep within his Divine Soul.

Luo Xiu remained silent.

He walked to the broken sword, gazed at it for a moment, then reached out and gripped the cold hilt.

The moment he gripped the hilt—

"Weng..."

The broken sword let out an extremely faint tremor, like a dying wail.

In the cracks of the blade, a final glimmer of light seemed to flash before being completely extinguished.

Gripping the broken sword, Luo Xiu slowly pulled it from the ground. The broken sword was light, yet it felt as heavy as a thousand tons.

He turned around, his gaze sweeping over the charred crystals and residue representing the Flame Demon, the red powder and ring representing the Blood Demon, and finally returning to the broken sword in his hand.

"Useless."

He whispered those two words, his voice calm and rippleless, yet it made the Sky Demon behind him tremble.

But immediately after, Luo Xiu's actions were completely different from this cold rebuke.

He once again used his left hand fingers like a blade, this time aiming at a position slightly below his left chest.

"Chiss—!"

Another fist-sized piece of heart-flesh, pulsing with majestic life essence and dark gold Divine Demon patterns, was brutally gouged out by him!

The wound healed instantly, but his face turned a shade paler, and his overall aura showed more obvious fluctuations.

Gouging out two pieces of heart-flesh in succession was a massive drain, even for a Fifth Order Divine Demon Body.

He did not hesitate and divided it into three!

Then, his right thumb swiped across his middle finger's pad. Three drops of Origin Essence Blood, heavy as mercury and shining with a chaotic dark gold luster, seeped out one after another, hovering above his palm and emitting a pressure that slightly distorted the surrounding space.

He first gently placed the broken sword beside the dark gold bone fragments representing the Sword Demon's remains.

Then, he walked to the Flame Demon's residue.

With a flick of his left hand, a piece of heart-flesh accurately landed in the center of the charred crystals.

With a flick of his right hand, a drop of Origin Essence Blood merged into it.

Next was the Blood Demon's remains; another piece of heart-flesh covered that pinch of ruby powder, and another drop of essence blood merged into the broken blood armor fragments.

Finally, he returned to the broken sword and bone fragments.

He merged the last piece of heart-flesh and the last drop of essence blood into the hilt of the broken sword and the largest dark gold bone fragment, respectively.

After doing all this, Luo Xiu stepped back a few paces. In his heterochromatic eyes, the phantom of the Five Elements rotation flared up frantically once more!

This time, it was not just tracing and insight, but also contained the supreme power of attraction, soul-gathering, and reshaping!

Using his own Fifth Order Origin as a guide and the last traces of the Three Demon Generals' aura remaining on the battlefield as a basis, he forcibly searched for and gathered those Divine Soul fragments that were almost impossible to exist anymore from between heaven and earth, from Law fragments, and from the embers of their completely dissipated demon souls!
