257: Slay the demonic dragon and break the seal.

"A piece of trash who hasn't even touched the threshold of the Saint Realm dares to call himself a Saint?"

A violent shout exploded as Qin Wushang, holding the immortal slaying demonic saber, transformed into a streak of ink-colored light in an instant.

The Void Law surged wildly around him, and space folded layer upon layer. In just a breath, he had crossed ten thousand miles and appeared boldly before the sky-blotting body of the Nine Nether Demon Dragon.

"Boom!"

The saber light split the sky, and the chilling killing intent almost sliced this Nine Nether world in half!

The immortal slaying demonic saber, carrying strands of Imperial Might, slashed heavily onto the demon dragon's claws, which were comparable to Saint weapons.

"Roar!"

A shrill cry of pain caused the void to crack inch by inch. Demonic blood splattered from the tips of the demon dragon's claws; a single slash had actually opened a wound deep enough to see the bone!

Its crimson vertical pupils suddenly constricted, filled with unbelievable horror: "Imperial weapon! Your saber... is actually an imperial weapon!"

Its Physical Body had long been tempered to a point infinitely close to the Saint-Grade; it could even withstand the strikes of ordinary Saint weapons.

But this saber could easily tear through its scales!

Qin Wushang's gaze was as cold as ice as he glanced down at Su Feixue, who was putting all her effort into breaking the Restriction.

"Either get lost or die."

"Impossible!"

The Nine Nether Demon Dragon roared in rage, its massive body trembling violently, kicking up a sky full of black astral winds.

"Human ant! Trespassing into my Nine Nether Forbidden Ground is already a capital offense, and now you dare to covet the immortal medicine we have guarded for thousands of years? Do you really think there is no one left in my Nine Nether?"

This myriad ghosts nurturing essence flower was a supreme treasure of the Nine Nether depths. The aura it emitted had nourished its Bloodline for thousands of years; how could it allow outsiders to touch it!

"Buzz!"

Responding to it was an even louder saber hum.

Qin Wushang's figure flickered, his blood energy steaming, and a blood-colored crescent moon suddenly hung high in the sky.

The saber light poured down like moonlight, carrying the world-destroying power of thunder as it slashed down violently.

"Thunder Half-Moon Slash!"

"Demon Dragon Breath!"

The Nine Nether Demon Dragon howled, suddenly opening its bloody maw.

A stream of dragon breath, black as ink, spewed out. It was the power of annihilation containing the ultimate poison of the Nine Nether; wherever it passed, even space itself dissolved!

The dragon breath collided violently with the blood moon saber light, and a terrifying energy shockwave exploded instantly, sweeping in all directions like an apocalyptic storm!

The saber light shattered upon impact, while the black dragon breath continued with unabated momentum, turning into a towering wave that surged toward Qin Wushang.

"Chaos Dao Lotus, rise!"

With a thought from Qin Wushang, a Chaos-colored dao lotus suddenly emerged from between his brows. Its petals unfurled layer by layer, instantly protecting his body so tightly that not even the wind could pass through.

The dragon breath storm slammed into the dao lotus, producing a deafening roar.

The brilliant dao patterns flowing on the surface of the dao lotus actually dimmed at a visible speed under the erosion of the dragon breath.

In an instant, the entire dao lotus was petrified, completely losing its divine luster!

"How... how is this possible?"

But the Nine Nether Demon Dragon was greatly shocked, staring fixedly at the petrified dao lotus.

"Your Divine Ability could actually withstand my Demon Dragon Breath?"

Even though the dao lotus was petrified, it could clearly sense that Qin Wushang's aura was not damaged in the slightest.

That blood energy was too terrifying, becoming even more vigorous!

"Boom!"

At that moment, the petrified dao lotus exploded, and a giant axe capable of splitting heaven and earth whistled out from the Chaos.

Heaven-Opening Giant Axe!

"Break!"

Qin Wushang shouted violently, and the great axe, carrying the power to tear through eternity, slashed fiercely toward the demon dragon!

"Get back!"

The Nine Nether Demon Dragon's face changed drastically, and it hurriedly swung its long tail.

The dragon tail, covered in bone spikes, suddenly erupted with brilliant demonic light, like a demonic whip, lashing fiercely toward the great axe!

"Bang!"

The great axe collided with the dragon tail, and a vision of heaven and earth being split evolved in the void, as terrifying power instantly shredded everything around them.

"Ah!"

With a scream, the demon dragon's indestructible tail was actually sliced off directly, and demonic blood fell like a rainstorm through the shattered void.

"You... you have the Supreme Double Pupils!"

The Nine Nether Demon Dragon was terrified.

The Supreme Double Pupils were even more powerful than ordinary Double Pupils; without using a Divine Ability, one simply couldn't see the two pupils.

Now, it saw them!

"Roar!"

"No wonder... no wonder you could break my Saint body!"

The Nine Nether Demon Dragon roared in terror, feeling the urge to retreat.

Supreme Double Pupils—that was a Heaven-Defying existence reputed to be invincible among those of the same rank. How could it have provoked such a star of calamity!

It turned its half-body without hesitation, its demonic light surging as it fled like mad toward the vast River of Styx in the distance.

This speed was extreme, and in an instant, it was about to rush into the void ruins in the depths of the River of Styx.

"Think you can get away?"

The corner of Qin Wushang's mouth curled as he flicked his finger.

A simple bronze mirror suddenly flew out, vanishing into the void in an instant, and then enlarged at a visible speed.

Imperial runes flowed on the mirror's surface, and a majestic, holy beam of light shot out, precisely enveloping the body of the Nine Nether Demon Dragon!

The void emperor mirror—another imperial weapon!

"Imp... Imperial weapon! Another imperial weapon! How is this possible! You actually have another imperial weapon!"

The Nine Nether Demon Dragon was shocked once more, frantically circulating its internal demonic essence, trying to break free from the mirror's light seal.

But how could it withstand the binding power of the void emperor mirror?

The mirror light was like a celestial net, pinning it firmly in place, so that not even a single scale could move.

At that moment, a cold saber light had already landed on its head.

Black light surged wildly on the blade of the immortal slaying demonic saber, and the terrifying Saber Qi was about to shred the demon dragon's Primordial Spirit.

"Puchi!"

The saber light fell completely, and the demon dragon's head split open, with crimson blood mixed with brain matter splattering out!

The terrifying Saber Qi drove straight in, rampaging through its Sea of Consciousness, intent on completely destroying its Primordial Spirit!

"Roar—! Second Brother! Save me—!!"

The demon dragon screamed shrilly, and an ancient Restriction suddenly appeared within its Primordial Spirit, attempting to block the invasion of the Saber Qi.

But that Saber Qi carried the power of an imperial weapon and Qin Wushang's supreme killing intent; how could a single Restriction block it?

The Restriction shattered, and the Saber Qi entered as if into an uninhabited land, slamming hard into the demon dragon's Primordial Spirit!

"Don't kill me! If you kill me, don't even think about leaving the Nine Nether alive—!!"

The demon dragon's Primordial Spirit wailed.

Qin Wushang turned a deaf ear as the Saber Qi surged again, forcibly tearing the demon dragon's Primordial Spirit apart and annihilating its life essence.

"Bang!"

The demon dragon's Primordial Spirit completely shattered, and its massive head exploded, turning into a sky full of blood rain.

The immortal slaying demonic saber hummed and vibrated, the demonic light on its blade flaring up, devouring the blood rain along with the half-dragon body until they were gone.

In the blink of an eye, the massive demon dragon corpse shriveled up and dissipated into ash.

Qin Wushang sheathed his saber and stood still, turning his gaze toward the other side of the battlefield.

Over there, Tian Jinlie was in a fierce battle with another Nine Nether Demon Dragon, the two supreme beings fighting with earth-shattering force.

The sound of their fists hitting flesh shook the River of Styx, even causing the river water to surge backward, kicking up waves ten thousand feet high.

"The System's deduction was indeed correct. After this battle, Tian Jinlie will be able to seize the Opportunity and fuse with the Legacy of the Indestructible Scripture, taking his strength to the next level."

Qin Wushang murmured softly, a flash of realization in his eyes.

"Since he has already acknowledged me as his master, this Opportunity shall be his; there's no need to intercept it."

He had once thought of intercepting the Opportunity, but now he no longer cared at all.

With a flicker of his figure, Qin Wushang landed in front of Su Feixue and asked in a deep voice, "How is the situation?"

Su Feixue's hands formed seals as her fingertips constantly brushed over the Restriction runes surrounding the myriad ghosts nurturing essence flower. Every time a rune shattered, it was accompanied by a burst of black demonic light.

She raised her brows slightly, her voice carrying a hint of gravity: "This Restriction is not simple; it's definitely not something those two demon dragons could have set up."

"I'm afraid there are even more terrifying existences hidden in the depths of the Nine Nether."

Qin Wushang recalled the threat the demon dragon made before its death, and his gaze darkened slightly.

"It said that if I killed it, I wouldn't be able to walk out of the Nine Nether."

"It seems there are experts hidden in this Nine Nether land."

Looking around, the Nine Nether World was deathly silent, with only the fragmented Great Dao of Reincarnation appearing faintly on the horizon, exuding an air of desolation and eeriness.

Even if there were experts lurking, their strength likely wouldn't be at its Peak; he wasn't afraid.

"Don't worry about that for now."

Before Su Feixue could finish her sentence, her fingertips suddenly exerted force, and a pitch-black demonic rune shattered.

"Once the Restriction is broken, this immortal medicine will definitely try to flee immediately! We must suppress it at the first moment!"

"Otherwise, once it dives into the depths of the Nine Nether, finding it again will be harder than reaching the heavens!"

Qin Wushang nodded.

With a thought, the void emperor mirror and the Desolate Tower flew out simultaneously, hovering above the myriad ghosts nurturing essence flower and sealing the entire area so tightly that not even air could escape.

He looked at Su Feixue and said quickly, "Do it."

"Break!"

Su Feixue gave a light shout, her body erupting with spiritual light as the final Restriction rune shattered!
