Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 540 - 470: The Blade That Kills You!

Just as Qi Xiu observed the supreme blade suspended between heaven and earth, the Dragon Lock Great Blade seemed to sense Qi Xiu’s presence.

The blade vibrated slightly.

Suddenly!

The sky collapsed and the earth shattered, as if the whole world was about to be sliced into countless pieces. The unstoppable killing intent pinned Qi Xiu to the spot, leaving him no choice but to watch helplessly as a gigantic blade cleaved towards him.

This feeling was reminiscent of when he used the Observing Qi Skill to glimpse the future in the Valley of Deceased Gods and saw that mysterious man.

Inescapable!

Unstoppable!

And just as Qi Xiu was about to be cleaved by the Dragon Lock Great Blade!

The strand of Spiritual Light that Ao Luo had shot into his forehead suddenly emerged, and inexplicably, countless dragon roars sounded, as if ten thousand dragons were singing, conveying some message to the supreme divine blade.

Under the protection of the Spiritual Light, a gaze seemed to sweep over Qi Xiu from within the Dragon Lock Great Blade, then the blade gradually retracted its power, returning to its previous dormant state.

At the same time, the overwhelming fear and trembling that had been clouding Qi Xiu’s mind also slowly dissipated.

It seemed that the Dragon Lock Great Blade had sensed the authority given to Qi Xiu by Ao Luo, and withdrew its hostility towards him.

"Even just a projection of its true form possesses such power; it’s hard to imagine what terrifying force the true body of the Dragon Lock Great Blade would have.

Perhaps anyone below the Primordial Spirit Realm would be crushed just by looking at it."

Personally experiencing the terror of the Dragon Lock Great Blade, Qi Xiu felt even more confident in using this divine artifact to slay Lord Wei.

Following the method taught by Ao Luo.

Qi Xiu calmed his mind and activated the method of the Ninefold Golden Dragon, transforming the mighty Golden Dragon True Qi within him into a rising golden light, condensing into a majestic and fierce shadow of a golden dragon as it approached the Dragon Lock Great Blade.

Steady, slow...

Controlling the amplitude of the Golden Dragon True Qi, Qi Xiu focused intently.

Although the Dragon Lock Great Blade had temporarily withdrawn its hostility towards him.

This did not mean he could casually make contact with it.

A single mistake might provoke the divine artifact, leading to his instant death with no chance to flee.

This was stealing the edge of heaven and earth.

Any slight misstep could lead to falling into endless hell.

When the Golden Dragon True Qi reached beneath the Dragon Lock Great Blade, the golden dragon shadow slightly opened its mouth, unleashing a thread of suction, drawing a wisp of blade qi from the revolving divine edge of the Dragon Lock Great Blade.

As soon as he began to draw it, the Dragon Lock Great Blade suddenly shook, startling Qi Xiu into immediately halting, only resuming his actions once it steadied again.

Stream after stream of golden-yellow blade qi was extracted by the Golden Dragon True Qi from the Dragon Lock Great Blade.

As the blade qi entered his body, the Golden Dragon True Qi became extremely heavy, as if encompassing a small world, consuming Qi Xiu’s mental energy so much that beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead and cheeks.

This is the limit; any more and it’ll be uncontrollable.

Feeling that the blade qi drawn by the Golden Dragon True Qi had reached its limit and was about to become uncontrollable, Qi Xiu decided to retract the Golden Dragon True Qi.

Having absorbed the blade qi of the Dragon Lock Great Blade, the entire Golden Dragon True Qi nearly solidified, and the dazzling golden light made each scale of the golden dragon resemble a small sun, emitting unparalleled, all-illuminating brilliance across all heavens and ages!

Buzz——

The void before him trembled, and before he knew it, Qi Xiu had already returned to the Dragon Execution Platform, the Golden Dragon True Qi swirling around him, surrounding him like a living deity, majestic and fierce.

"Did it succeed?"

Seeing the Golden Dragon True Qi encircling Qi Xiu, Ao Luo’s eyes shifted, and he slowly nodded.

"Not bad, with this amount of blade qi, no one below the Primordial Spirit Realm can resist. Go now, slay your enemy."

Nodding towards Ao Luo, Qi Xiu, fully controlling the Golden Dragon True Qi, found it difficult even to speak, and could only signal with his eyes.

Treading heavily towards Lord Wei, each step Qi Xiu took caused the entire Dragon Execution Platform to tremble slightly.

The terrifying pressure of the Dragon Lock Blade Qi caused even Lord Wei, who had been suppressed by the Innate Five Dragons Sealing Technique, to feel a strong sense of crisis.

Lord Wei’s eyes shifted as he was firmly suppressed by five chains of True Dragons!

After tens of thousands of years of persistence!

Only to achieve rebirth today!

How could my true self die at the hands of you insignificant beings!

Even if it means sacrificing ninety-nine percent of my lifespan today, I must have a decisive battle with you!

Rumble——

At the moment of life and death, an obsession a million times more intense erupted, endless anger and unwillingness engulfing ninety-nine percent of Lord Wei’s life essence within him, transforming into an infinite blaze, seemingly to annihilate the entire world!

Bang!

By sacrificing ninety-nine percent of his lifespan, Lord Wei, whose physical body was only a step away from the Primordial Spirit Realm, immediately advanced another half-step.

This physical body, infinitely close to the Primordial Spirit Supreme, burned fiercely, and divine light shone over the world, an incredibly terrifying force collapsing all directions!

Strands of Great Dao patterns emerged on his body surface, and within him seemed to turn into an immortal furnace, where endless power boiled, then transformed into surging physical power, infusing into every fiber of his being, enhancing the strength of his body.

Mystically, above Lord Wei, a door seemed to appear.

A dense aura of the Great Dao flowed, as if once this door was pushed open, the true Great Dao could be witnessed!

"Be careful, this scoundrel has sacrificed almost all of his life force. His power has already approached the Primordial Spirit Realm, and my Prohibited Martial Divine Peculiarity can no longer suppress him."

Frowning slightly, Ao Luo warned Qi Xiu.

Though the Dragon Execution Platform is a divine artifact, after being left in the Punishment Hall for so many years and withstanding the erosion of time, it may not have decayed but its power has long vanished, with only him among the eighteen Artifact Spirits barely remaining conscious.

All the Divine Marvel Power is now less than one ten-thousandth of its peak.

Now, with Lord Wei sacrificing everything, the difference between power and the Primordial Spirit Realm is as thin as a sheet of paper.

The Prohibited Martial Divine Peculiarity of the Dragon Execution Platform can no longer suppress him.

Boom!

Before Ao Luo’s voice had even fallen, the five True Dragon chains binding Lord Wei were already bent by him, and with a clangorous sound, the chain links shattered inch by inch, in just an instant.

The Innate Five Dragons Sealing Technique was completely torn apart by Lord Wei!

The endless brilliant five-colored radiance was burned away under the terrifying burst of his extreme energy and blood.

"Kill!"

With a heaven-shaking roar, his entire body ignited with a blazing divine light that turned into a rolling black fire. Blood tears streamed from Lord Wei’s eyes, and his black hair rapidly turned gray at a visible speed, while his aura frantically surged to an astonishing degree!

The door overhead was slammed open with a thunderous rumble, and vaguely, it even appeared to have a slight gap!

Bang!

The heavens trembled, and the void wailed!

The entire Dragon Execution Platform suddenly became pitch black, so dark that one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face. With a deafening crash, a figure capable of shattering all things charged fiercely toward Qi Xiu, enveloping him with immense pressure, forcing Qi Xiu’s robes to billow and the illusion of Hunyuan Daoist behind him to flicker and destabilize, almost disintegrating!

"The old bastard is risking his life!"

The pressure, akin to the Ancient Demon Abyss, made Qi Xiu groan, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

His body, nearly approaching the Primordial Spirit Realm, could be severely injured merely by the pressure.

If he were to take a punch for real...

Even with all his abilities, he would find it hard to save himself.

"Luckily, I still have a trump card."

Wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, Qi Xiu’s eyes shone with golden light, and from his back, the faint shadow of a True Dragon began to awaken.

"Come!"

Qi Xiu raised his hand in a gesture, and the dragon shadow behind him suddenly transformed into a golden light soaring into the sky, releasing a majestic Dragon Power that tore through the endless surge, spanning the six directions and eight desolations, looking down upon all things!

"Dragon Binding Rope!"

Seeing Qi Xiu holding this Dragon Prison Supreme Treasure in his hand, even Ao Luo couldn’t help but reveal a hint of surprise.

The Dragon Binding Rope, though not as great as the Dragon Execution Platform or the Dragon Lock Great Blade,

was still one of the supreme treasures of the True Dragon Clan.

Aside from the prison guards of Dragon Prison, even the True Dragon Clan members couldn’t easily wield it.

This child actually gained the Dragon Prison’s approval, acquiring the right to wield the Dragon Binding Rope.

A mere human, yet bearing the True Dragon Mark...

Could he be the reincarnation of some supreme being?

As this thought floated in his mind, Ao Luo’s expression couldn’t help but change slightly.

With a wave to summon the Dragon Binding Rope, Qi Xiu pointed his finger, watching this rope emit layer upon layer of terrifying divine might power, as the ancient True Dragon Supreme Treasure fully awakened, releasing billions of strands of dazzling golden light, and echoing with the earth-shattering roars of dragons, resounding across the universe.

Boom!

The supreme treasure that could bind even True Dragons instantly and tightly bound Lord Wei, who resembled a living demon god, its ancient and unadorned rope deeply cutting into his flesh, causing the increasingly prominent Dao patterns on his body to dim once again.

"Break for me!"

With terrifying figures continuously appearing behind him, Lord Wei wept, roared, and bellowed in rage, his power still ascending, longing to fully step into that Supreme Realm, to transform into an invincible path!

With just half a step more, he could break through all barriers.

Achieving a status of world invincibility, an unsurpassed supreme position!

Under the relentless assault of Lord Wei’s resisting power, Qi Xiu coughed up fresh blood continuously, and his face paled even further.

Though Lord Wei couldn’t destroy the Dragon Binding Rope, its wielders, like him, were still subjected to its fierce counterattacks.

Enduring successive backlashes, if not for the Hunyuan Myriad Laws Immortal Body constantly gathering and dispersing his body, shifting the impact, he would have long been shattered by the force of resistance.

Just as Lord Wei, channeling his entire power, was nearing the threshold in the depths of his gaze...

Qi Xiu moved.

Raising his right hand high, the Golden Dragon True Qi surrounding him transforme suddenly into a Supreme Divine Blade as if to cleave the heavens and earth.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

As the Dragon Lock Great Blade emerged, the incessant dragon roars echoed throughout the heavens and earth, golden light blazed in all directions through the ages, endless True Dragons circled and roamed across the blade’s surface, ready to break free from this blade and soar forth!

For a moment, it was as if the ancient dragon’s nest had been opened, and the vast, ancient True Dragon aura made the entire world shudder and wail under this terrifying killing force.

"What is this?!"

Sensing the intensely lethal force upon the Dragon Lock Great Blade, Lord Wei’s expression changed, and he roared in rage, struggling madly.

He could feel that this blade could truly kill him!

"A blade meant to kill you."

With a calm reply, Qi Xiu raised the Dragon Lock Great Blade high and swung it down heavily towards Lord Wei’s neck!

Swish——
