Chapter 870: Finally, the Nine Swords
Mountains and rivers collapsed, the earth sank, and the sky looked like a porcelain plate that was cracked into pieces.
There are numerous hideous cracks in the void, revealing the dark and chaotic dimension behind it.
The blood filled with murderous aura dripped onto the ground, but it did not nourish anything. Instead, it made the already broken earth polluted and murderous.
Li Yuan stood in the air, with a slender figure and blood all over his body.
The cracked scars eventually caused great damage to his origin, and Li Yuan had consumed too much energy in forcing his way back from the dark and unknown land. In such a weak state, he had fought a hard battle with the Buddha God Emperor, and his blood had dried up, making it difficult for him to continue.
The Nameless Emperor intended to force the Buddha God Emperor to play some of his trump cards so that he could gain more control in the alliance. However, the Buddha God Emperor also wanted to avoid the Nameless Emperor's attack.
This former massacre was worthy of his reputation after all. He used extremely terrifying means to absorb some of Li Yuan's blood and energy through the air.
If he was in his normal prime, this loss of blood and energy would not be a big deal, as Li Yuan had the power of his inherent attainment to bless him continuously.
But he was already seriously injured when he participated in the battle, and his expenses were insufficient to make ends meet. He was also robbed and lost his blood and energy, and was almost killed by the Buddha God Emperor.
Fortunately, Yuan Zun's position was very special. He had attained the way of being protected by the prayers of all spirits. With the great power of humanity from all living beings, Li Yuan managed to fight a battle with the Buddha God Emperor and both of them were injured.
However, no matter what methods Li Yuan tried, it was difficult to completely kill the Buddha God Emperor. The three hearts in the opponent's chest represented the three lives of the Buddha God Emperor to resist disasters. Two of them had been broken at this moment, but the remaining one was particularly tough, and no matter how Li Yuan attacked, it had little effect.
There was also the imperial weapon, the Buddha Demon Ring, which was worthy of being an extremely deadly weapon that had accompanied the Buddha God Emperor in his killing spree and was stained with the blood of all living beings in the heavens. It brought great pressure to Li Yuan. He was even almost sucked in by the demon ring and fell into the bloody world evolved by the Buddha God Emperor.
The seven fierce swords were forcibly combined into a strange blurred sword that vibrated in time and space. Originally, it could barely match the Buddha Demon Ring, at least it would not be too passive. Unfortunately, with the complete disintegration of the Fuxuan Sword, without the characteristics of the Sword of Time and Space, the seven swords lost the ability to merge.
Even the Fushang and Lucang swords, which were known to be the ultimate killing weapons, could hardly shake the terrifying power of the Futu Demon Ring. After all, it was a complete imperial weapon. Even though the Futu God Emperor was killed by the Three Heavenly Lords, the terrifying weapon was hidden very deeply and could not be found.
Furthermore... Li Yuan has too little experience. He has just reached the realm of Dao Zun, and his grasp of the power at this level is far inferior to that of a veteran like the Buddha God Emperor who has been famous for a long time.
Even though the Buddha God Emperor had a violent temperament and an extreme temper, his fighting awareness and use of Dao Zun's methods were enough to suppress Li Yuan.
However, fearing the infinite power that was constantly bursting out from Li Yuan's body, the Buddha God Emperor was also struggling, and was frantically "exchanged blood" by the furious Li Yuan in a way that was detrimental to both sides.
Once again, the Buddha God Emperor was knocked to the ground, and several mountains were crushed by his body. Several small mountain and river gods had no time to escape, and could not even utter a wail, as they were instantly crushed to death by the dissipated power of the Dao Zun.
Even the weaker immortals and gods died instantly, not to mention the mortal creatures hiding in this area. The earth turned into deathly silence almost in an instant.
A Taoist master who is determined to slaughter all living beings is more terrifying than any natural disaster or man-made calamity. This is a large-scale harvest of weaker lives by higher-level life forms. Every move he makes is a scene of world destruction.
The Buddha God Emperor became more and more violent as the battle went on, and he even deliberately took out some of his anger on these weak creatures to cover up his own rage and decadence.
Li Yuan tried his best to stop it, his eyes filled with anger and sadness, but he was helpless.
He was also disabled and had to fight with all his might to suppress the Buddha God Emperor. He was not much stronger than the other party. Even after trying many times, he could not forcibly take the other party out of the sky to fight.
All he could do was to try to confine the enemy to a certain area. Even if the battlefield changed, he would try to move away as many living creatures on the earth as possible.
The aftermath of this earth-shattering battle almost overturned half of the earth and killed countless innocent lives.
But Li Yuan could not give in. Once the Buddha God Emperor was given a chance to catch his breath, this guy would frantically slaughter all living beings in the world in order to restore his strength. That would be when the real terror and disaster would come.
In the broken mountains and rivers, the thousand-foot-tall body of the Buddha God Emperor stood up with his head held high, like a blood-colored Shura, like a terrifying god or demon, with an incomparable and fierce power.
"If you can't kill this emperor, then retreat now. There's still room for you and me to fight!"
The Buddha God Emperor ended up losing more than he gained. He had recovered most of his strength with the help of hundreds of millions of lives, but after being attacked so desperately by Li Yuan, he suffered serious damage and the loss outweighed the gain.
It had clearly worked together with the Nameless Emperor to deduce that there was no free Dao Master in the Three Realms, so it rushed in headfirst, wanting to take advantage of the emptiness of the Three Realms and become the fierce dragon crossing the river.
As a result, a newly promoted Taoist master suddenly appeared inexplicably, with an extremely firm attitude. Even though he had never seen it before, he insisted on fighting it to the death!
"You have slaughtered billions of lives and destroyed all of our humanity. There is no room for any ruthlessness between you and me!"
Li Yuan shouted angrily, using the dazzling light all over the sky to cover up the fatigue deep in his eyes. He turned every drop of blood in his body into a means of killing, vowing to kill the Buddha God Emperor.
The Buddha God Emperor had already been really angry, and his last bit of rationality made him say that he was willing to compromise, but Li Yuan didn't listen at all, and the massacre finally stopped holding back!
"Forget it! If you don't want to cherish your life, then let's fight to the death! If I swallow you, all the losses will be worth it!"
"Let's see whether you, the Taoist master of later generations, are more powerful, or whether the way of this emperor Buddha is better!"
The Buddha God Emperor was extremely ferocious, his only four remaining eyes flashed with a scarlet light, his four strong arms waved wildly, and there seemed to be an endless sea of blood surging behind him, like a bloodthirsty demon from the ancient times.
Li Yuan took a deep breath, his golden eyes were like torches illuminating the world, he looked directly into the other person's scarlet gaze without fear.
The wounds all over his body could no longer bleed. At this point in the battle, his energy had been depleted to the extreme and his blood was almost dried up.
He tightly grasped the fierce sword Fushang in his hand, and five fierce swords formed a wheel behind him. The countless fragments of the disintegrated Fuxuan sword disappeared into the nothingness around him, like stars in the sky, shining and cold.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement from the sky, as if some amazing existence had already noticed the battle on earth, and now it was exhausting all its strength and looking back to protect.
"then!"
A steady voice penetrated the boundless void, and the surging and domineering aura of the Human Emperor came from the sky, and a pitch-black sword rainbow was thrown over.
The Buddha God Emperor was frightened by this familiar breath. He stepped back a little and looked toward the sky in doubt.
It naturally recognized this voice, that voice of the one who had astonished the world for ages, the first human emperor who had beaten it so hard that it had to flee in fear!
Li Yuan raised his head, his gaze penetrating through layers of space, and saw in the distant depths of chaos, Xuanyuan Jun was covered in blood, his robes were torn, and one arm was broken at the shoulder. Although he was seriously injured, his ultimate domineering aura still crisscrossed several star fields, annihilating countless stars.
The pitch-black sword rainbow arrived in an instant. Li Yuan's mind moved slightly. He raised his hand to take it, but saw that it was the evil sword of Crimson Evil that had already fallen into the hands of Hong Zun!
"Brother Xuanyuan..."
He looked at the wounded figure in the depths of the boundless chaos, knowing that this must be the murderous sword that Xuanyuan Jun had paid a huge price to forcibly snatch from Hong Zun!
There was a huge distance between them, and although Xuanyuan Jun was covered in blood, he smiled slightly as he looked at Li Yuan.
"One death, one severance of all calamities."
The two had already conspired to deduce this, but Li Yuan still didn't quite understand. Even if the Jiangsha Sword was taken away, the Nine Swords were still missing one, Wangchen...
"Little mountain god, your fate has come."
Infinite light emerged from the earth, and the graceful figure of Mother Earth emerged from the end of the human world. Behind her, one could see the roaring of a real dragon, the soaring of a phoenix, and the roaring of a unicorn. It seemed that these had temporarily repelled some enemies for her, allowing the lord of the human world who had been trapped for a long time to break free for a moment.
In that shady courtyard, there were not only several enemies and three spiritual gods, but also a tall and slender figure standing silently. It was Mo Qi who had disappeared for a long time.
"Since the First Emperor has already seized the Crimson Evil Sword, then... the Forget Dust Sword should also return."
Mo Qi glanced at the distant sky, then looked at Li Yuan. There was no trace of the past madness and craziness anymore, only a look so gentle that it was unbearable to look at.
"I know you don't want to hurt me, but this is Moqi's fate. I can't escape it."
Mo Qi smiled brilliantly, a line of pure tears like gems flowed down her cheek. It seemed that she had completely awakened her past memories and made a choice for Li Yuan at this moment.
She pointed at her forehead, and her whole body instantly turned into starlight in the sky and disappeared, leaving only an ancient sword as turbid as yellow water lying on the spot.
"I pondered for a long time and finally found a way to avoid the curse. I can protect her soul and let her return to the underworld. But the six paths have already been overturned... Little mountain god, if you die in battle, you will be her protector for once."
Mother Earth looked at Li Yuan, who was covered in blood and wounds, calmly and kindly, her eyes containing pity and helplessness.
The turbid and mottled Wangchen Sword flew across the sky, breaking through layers of space and surrounding Li Yuan.
When the Buddha God Emperor saw that the situation was not right, he wanted to flee, but he was blasted by the First Human Emperor and Mother Earth from an infinite distance away and was forcibly imprisoned on the earth.
Nine swords flew across the sky, each shining with a different brilliance.
The moment when Jiangsha and Wangchen returned to their positions.
The Juexiao sword, which had been sealed for eternity, had been impatient for a long time. At this moment, it finally came out of its sheath with a clang. The dark golden and ancient sword edge seemed to illuminate the eternal time and space. It could suppress evil spirits and monsters, kill gods, demons, monsters and ghosts, and rule over all things!
Under the influence of the nine swords becoming one, even the disintegrated Fuxuan Sword began to reorganize.
Xuanyuan Jun's figure, with blood-stained robes but still tall and majestic, gradually faded away in the sky, and continued to fight against Hong Zun; with the help of the Three Spirit Gods, the Earth Mother's only moment of struggle was at its limit. She sighed, and cast the only remaining soul of Mo Qi into the underworld, gradually disappearing at the end of the world.
Li Yuan remained silent as he stroked the fierce swords with different abilities.
His death in this life seemed to be a predetermined ending.
However, there are some responsibilities that must be undertaken and they are difficult to eliminate even after death.
