Chapter 597: Chapter 565 Abnormal Movement of the Bloodthirsty Blade_1

The Star Devourer crossed the Heaven Forbidden and left.

For all beings in this realm, the shadow that enveloped them had completely disappeared, and they would welcome the light once again.

But for Han Yi and Ying Yue, the two divine beings who had descended, the hunt they had launched in the Dark Prison with considerable effort did not yield the expected results.

A few severed limbs of the Star Devourer, compared to its colossal body, really couldn’t count for much.

Even these limbs were not severed by the two of them, so they also had to be shared with Pang Jian.

Han Yi could not rid herself of the coercion and oppression from that High God just because of these few limbs of the Star Devourer.

Ying Yue also couldn’t use the spoils of this hunt to make any advancement in her status as a Middle-level God.

So, both divine beings showed very clear expressions of disappointment.

"I’ll only take one piece."

Among the seven thick limbs, Pang Jian chose one that contained the essence of gold and mysterious iron. Encircling it with his Immortal Primordial Spirit, he took it toward the Mysterious Fog area near where Thunder God Fan Di was.

"He seems unwilling to have much contact with us," Ying Yue snorted coldly.

"As he said, he is a god of the Human Race, and our positions differ," Han Yi felt a bitterness in her heart.

Watching Pang Jian’s Immortal Primordial Spirit leave, she said, "Sorry, after preparing for so long, we only got this much."

"Who are you apologizing to?" Ying Yue was quite disgruntled.

"Of course, it’s you."

"You weren’t even looking at me!"

"This..."

Han Yi withdrew her gaze, turned to face Ying Yue seriously, and said, "I am very sorry, so you can choose from these limbs of the Star Devourer."

"I don’t want these," Ying Yue shook her head.

Han Yi was stunned, then asked, "Then what do you want?"

"Let’s talk someplace else," Ying Yue blinked.

...

Moon Temple.

Ying Yue’s divine form stirred and she awoke from silence, saying, "Han Yi, let’s go to the Mysterious Fog next time."

"Into the Mysterious Fog? Why?" Goddess of Cold Crystal was very surprised.

"On the Star Devourer, I secretly left a marker," Ying Yue said with a smug smile, "We can’t reach the Dark Prison World with our true forms, but there are no such restrictions within the Mysterious Fog. To avoid Pang Jian, it risked an escape from the Dark Prison and entered deep into the Mysterious Fog."

"In the Mysterious Fog, as long as we find it, how can it escape?"

"No matter how strong it is, can it evade the pursuit of our true forms?"

As soon as the words fell, the Divine Platform belonging to her was activated.

Her divine form, resplendent with the radiant light of the moon, became intent on killing: "After the Star Devourer fled from the Dark Prison, it lingered in the starry sky for a moment. Just in that moment, the mark I had left in advance on its body was locked onto by the moon from afar!"

"Han Yi, I can definitely find it!"

The Divine Platform drifted out of the Moon Temple.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Goddess of Cold Crystal also steered her Divine Platform out and hastily followed.

"Ying Yue, should we inform Pang Jian? After all, it was he who drove the Star Devourer out. Now that we have the coordinates and direction, should we not invite him to join us?"

"What are you thinking? Han Yi, the gods from the Dark Prison cannot enter, and we don’t know the situation inside. But in the Mysterious Fog, if the two of us join hands with him to kill the Star Devourer, it’s very likely to be perceived by other divine beings!"

"Furthermore! With the two of us deploying our true forms, the Star Devourer is sure to die, so why invite him?"

While they were speaking, two streaks of divine light had already fallen from above the moon, disappearing into the boundless Misty Sea below.

...

A certain place in the Mysterious Fog.

The Star Devourer was aimlessly drifting. It howled in the direction it felt was farthest from the Dark Prison, hoping to get as far away from the Dark Prison as possible.

The character "prison" world was quite bizarre.

When it broke through the Heaven Forbidden into the galaxy, it could see an endless sea of fog below and keenly sensed that there were powerful divine beings releasing perceptions to lock onto it.

So, it only lingered for a moment before re-entering the Mysterious Fog.

It was clearly just above the Mysterious Fog, but the moment it descended, it suddenly felt dizzy.

When the dizziness passed, the cold and mysterious Star River was no longer overhead, no stars existed, and it became a vast, limitless sea of fog.

It turns out that every divine being and living creature experiences this process when they plunge into the Mysterious Fog.

Time and space seemed to be reversed, and one’s body would be instantly pulled to the other side, so one could no longer see the Star River that was so close, and was doomed to be lost once again.

The creatures in the Mysterious Fog wanting to return to the Star River would not know how much hardship they must endure.

Passing the Heaven Forbidden of the "prison" world was apparently the best way to leave this foggy sea, without experiencing setbacks and losses, directly reaching the vast outer space.

It had actually done it and had already entered the Star River.

With its awakened divine skills, it could grow stronger through the Star River above the Mysterious Fog, using the stars to continually advance.

Unfortunately, in the Star River that eternally floated above the everlasting Mysterious Fog, gods now abounded.

Beings like it were considered a big catch in the eyes of these gods, a rare treasure.

As long as it dared to show itself and caught the attention of anyone, it would face a siege and pursuit from the gods.

Although it had the innate power to grow stronger with the help of the stars, the presence of these gods meant it had to dive back into the Mysterious Fog again, needing the fog to hide and shield itself.

Before long, it encountered a few divine beings from the Outer Realms.

These divine beings were discussing the name of a god of the Human Race—Pang Jian. Several gods seemed to be ordered into the Mysterious Fog to search and drag Pang Jian out.

He felt a secret pleasure, eager to approach those God Spirits to share the news of Pang Jian in the Dark Prison, yet he worried that revealing himself would draw fire upon him.

After hesitating for a long time, he silently distanced himself.

While consuming the Star Core, he continued to drift in the Mysterious Fog, later encountering several groups of Alien Gods from Outer Space, all of whom were searching for Pang Jian.

He became increasingly cautious and increasingly fearful.

What he had thought a safe haven, the Mysterious Fog, became fraught with danger due to the descent of many God Spirits.

For now, he was only encountering Low-rank Gods and, relying on his familiarity with the Mysterious Fog and his advantages as an Exotic Spirit, he could still stealthily approach and eavesdrop.

However, if Middle-level Gods also arrived, at his current level of strength, he would only have one path—death.

Thus, the Star Devourer, who had once spouted nonsense in the Dark Prison, became even more cautious than before, tucking his tail between his legs and hiding, filled with trepidation.

Day and night, he cursed, damning Pang Jian a ten thousand times for bringing so many Alien Gods from Outer Space into the Mysterious Fog.

"Are the people of Purgatory from the Human Race that famous in the Outer Domain Galaxy? Is a god of the Human Race from Purgatory worthy of such a grand mobilization, arranging for so many Alien Tribes to delve deep into the Mysterious Fog?"

Towards Purgatory, the Human Race, and Pang Jian, he gradually felt a sense of reverence.

The braggadocio he had previously boasted suddenly seemed ridiculous.

"Forget it, it’s better to stay as far away from Purgatory as possible. After all, it’s unlikely I’ll have any more intersections with that Pang Jian."

Thinking this, the Star Devourer continued to dodge and hide within the Mysterious Fog, looking to avoid all the God Spirits.

Yet one day, he unexpectedly spotted a Golden Bee Insect.

...

Purgatory, Qitian Continent.

The lowest floor of the Sword Tower.

In a hidden corner lay a sword buried in the ground, its hilt of a dark red color, looking stained with bloodstains.

This sword exuded a dense stench of blood and had been motionless for far too long; its Sword Spirit had been silent for countless years.

When Pang Jian last came to select a sword, the Origin Demon Sword and the Bone Sword both showed signs of activity, but it had no reaction.

Today, it quietly shone a crimson glow.

"Shuā! Shuā! Shuā!"

A plump and a lean elder, along with a woman named Mrs. Feng, materialized almost instantly, their wary gazes falling simultaneously upon the sword.

Unlike the Origin Demon Sword and the Bone Sword, this sword normally did not cause trouble and showed no anomalies.

As suppressors of the Sword Tower, the Sword Spirits of the three great Divine Swords often had no need to worry about this particular sword.

But if it indeed exhibited anomalies, they were certainly no small matter.

"Someone has mastered the Blood God Skill, and today, this person has arrived at Qitian Continent."

"Either you kill him or destroy me; otherwise, he and I are destined to meet."

The Bloodthirsty Blade spoke in a voice that was neither male nor female, "You’d better consult with Pu Zhaotian and see what he thinks."

"The Blood God Skill of the Blood Spirit Sect?!" The plump old man’s expression changed.

"Swish!"

Pu Zhaotian arrived in a flash, appearing on the lowest level of the Sword Tower.

At the movement of the Bloodthirsty Blade, he sensed it and immediately stepped into the place,

Looking at the sword thrust into the ground, Pu Zhaotian said, "His name is Dong Tianze, and indeed he is practicing the Blood God Skill. What? Are you interested in him?"

"I can help him become a Blood God, but he will become what you call an Evil God," replied the Bloodthirsty Blade.

"An Evil God, huh..." Pu Zhaotian furrowed his brows and asked, "Will you gradually corrupt him, making him fall deeper and eventually become a true Evil Demon?"

"By your views, he is already thoroughly an Evil Demon," the Bloodthirsty Blade laughed.

Hearing this, Pu Zhaotian’s expression grew grave, then he said, "Can he be of use to the Sword Tower?"

"That’s up to him," the Bloodthirsty Blade fell silent for a moment before calmly responding, "If he can suppress me and his heart is with the Sword Tower, then there’s a possibility."

"Otherwise..."

"You know the consequences."

The sword known as the Bloodthirsty Blade appeared quite calm and restrained, showing none of the frenzy and bloodlust its name would imply.

But whether it was the three Sword Spirits or Pu Zhaotian, they all knew this was just a facade, a result of the long passage of time that had temporarily tempered its edge.

"Pu Pangzi! It cannot be done!"

"Should this sword leave the Sword Tower, it would be a disaster for the common folk outside!"

"The bearer of the sword would endlessly slaughter, it must not be so!"

The attitudes of the three great Sword Spirits were surprisingly uniform; they no longer bickered endlessly and did not expose each other’s shortcomings.

"Remove the seal, let it leave the Sword Tower, and let it find that youngster Dong Tianze. I will declare to the outside world that the Bloodthirsty Blade has broken your seal using its own power and burst out of the Sword Tower!"

...

Qitian Continent, within the territory of Sky Curtain Cliff, there lay a place known as the Blood Cloud Mountain Range.

It was one of the ancient battlefields.

It was rumored that several Alien Tribe ascents to heaven had erupted into bloodbaths here, with tens of thousands of Cultivators of profound realms and Alien Tribes of equal combat power dying.

At this moment, Dong Tianze walked alone through it in silence.

Suddenly, with a sense of premonition, he looked up at the sky to see a streak of blood light silently flash across the sky,

...
