Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 2350 - 817: Divinity Transformation! Inviting the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint to Test the Sword
Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation cast a cold glance at the Azure Phoenix Bird and then said in an icy tone: "Since you dared to come here in person today, leave your life behind!"
Hearing this, the Azure Phoenix Bird couldn’t help but laugh in anger, and immediately laughed recklessly: "Hehehe, Tai Geng, you are indeed arrogant. Do you think I am like that brute Jiurenia? Even if your true form were here today, I, the great sage, would come and go as I please!"
"Since the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint says so, why do you leave without saying goodbye?"
Suddenly, an old voice echoed from the void, and a green light suddenly burst forth from a certain place in the void, forcing a figure to emerge from it.
Upon close inspection, that figure was indeed the real body of the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint.
And just as the real body of the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint was forced out, the Azure Phoenix Bird that was laughing loudly quickly transformed into a blue plume and flew back onto her.
Earlier, she had noticed something amiss through the change in attitude of Tai Geng Divine Venerable’s incarnation, so she used a blinding method, intending to first retreat and then contemplate.
Unexpectedly, her blinding method was easily seen through, and even her real body that had gone into hiding in the void was forced out by someone.
The Azure Phoenix Demon Saint was extremely confident in her method of void concealment, which was her greatest achievement in the Space Laws. She was convinced that once it was deployed, there were not even half a hand that could break it in this realm!
Yet now, her method was interrupted!
Judging by the mana properties of the one who interrupted her, it wasn’t hard to guess their identity.
"Changchun, you actually came in person! You dare step out of Changchun Valley!"
The Azure Phoenix Demon Saint’s expression changed dramatically as she looked toward a certain place in the void, yelling out that person’s identity filled with shock and fear.
Indeed, there were very few in this realm who could interrupt her void concealment method, but the Changchun Venerable with peak Divine Transformation Middle Stage cultivation level was precisely one of them!
However, as far as the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint knew, Changchun Venerable had not left Changchun Valley for at least a few thousand years!
Especially after his incarnation Green-robed Venerable advanced to the Divine Transformation Stage, he had not taken even a single step out of Changchun Valley.
Even when the major alien races joined forces to invade the Human Clan, Changchun Venerable preferred to pay any price to summon Guanghan Venerable, Lingfeng Venerable, and others to help rather than take a single step.
Under such circumstances, who could have expected that he would leave Changchun Valley for a junior attempting Divinity Transformation?
According to the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint’s initial thoughts, having one Lingfeng Venerable ambushed here was the most she could imagine!
And even if Lingfeng Venerable was ambushed here, she was completely confident that in the face-off against Lingfeng Venerable, she could also manage to kill that Human Clan cultivator who had already passed the "Essence Energy Tribulation."
Yet she never expected that Lingfeng Venerable would not show up, and instead, it would be Changchun Venerable, the number one Human Clan cultivator!
"Hehehe, it’s been a long time since I left the valley. Did you all think I was really going to the grave already?"
Changchun Venerable smiled gently at the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, speaking as if conversing with a friend.
But in the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint’s eyes, his smile was evidently mocking her, a victor’s smile.
This filled her with a mixture of shock and anger, prompting her to shriek angrily: "Changchun, even if you’re out, what of it? Do you think you can really kill me?"
"How will we know if we don’t try?"
Changchun Venerable responded with an unchanged, gentle smile, and then with a casual gesture, he summoned a bronze sword box.
As soon as this bronze sword box appeared, the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint immediately sensed something was amiss.
Being a long-lived elder in the Demon Clan, she had encountered ancient artifacts similar to this bronze sword box.
She knew well that the seemingly ordinary bronze material was actually Spirit Gold, created by using Upper Realm secret techniques to smelt various rare Spirit Gold into a secret blend, typically used to craft some immensely powerful treasures.
She didn’t want to wait until whatever was inside the sword box was revealed before taking action, even though she was curious about what it contained.
"Changchun, enjoy playing by yourself, I’m not staying with you!"
With a sharp cry, she transformed into a dash of blue flame and fled at high speed.
In terms of understanding and using the Power of Space Laws, she was no match for Changchun Venerable, but this straightforward wind and fire escape method was not so easy to intercept.
Yet she seemed to have underestimated the Divine Skills of a Divine Transformation Middle Stage cultivator!
Since Changchun Venerable advanced to the peak of the Divine Transformation Middle Stage, he had scarcely acted, and even if he had, it was in utmost secrecy, and he might not have used his actual strength.
Not to mention, he was now at the peak of Divine Transformation Middle Stage!
Changchun Venerable simply grinned and made a slight grasping motion, seeming to pluck a string in the void; the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, who had fled a thousand miles away, immediately looked as if she had hit an invisible web, getting caught mid-air! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Then she heard Changchun Venerable’s voice, tinged with a hint of relief, "Fortunately, it was you, Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, who came today; otherwise, if it were the Golden Horn Dragon Sage instead, this old man might have been in for a wasted trip!"
Even as she still puzzled over the implication of Changchun Venerable’s words, she found that the bronze sword box had already completely opened at some point, revealing its contents.
Inside was a blood-stained, blue-black long sword!
The sword was about five feet long, calling it a sword was acceptable, but it could also be considered the head of a spear without its shaft, stained with reddish-brown blood, with two ancient archaic characters faintly visible.
These two characters, unreadable to modern people, carried a name that anyone seeing them would naturally understand.
They were called—Heavenly Punishment!
This strange power even disregarded spatial distances, allowing the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint to understand this point even miles away.
"Heavenly Punishment! Heavenly Punishment!"
She quickly muttered those two words in her mind, then her pupils suddenly contracted, and she couldn’t help but exclaim, "This is the [Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword]!!!"
Before the words had fully faded, she shrieked in horror, "Impossible! Wasn’t the [Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword] taken away during the Ascension? How could it still be with the Human Clan?! This can’t be the [Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword], it must be a fake, it must be fake!!"
"Fake or not, you will know by trying, Azure Phoenix Demon Saint!"
Changchun Venerable said with a gentle smile, then bowed towards the [Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword] and said, "Please, Heavenly Punishment Venerable, assist me in slaying demons!"
"To slay demons and eradicate evil, that’s my duty!"
A cold voice arose from the blue-black long sword, then the sword flew into Changchun Venerable’s hand of its own accord, easily infusing with his mana.
Then Changchun Venerable held the handleless long sword, smiling lightly at the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint, "This old man, Changchun, requests the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint to test the sword!"
