Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14108 Thunder Spirit
But at this moment, Ling Xiao stepped onto this mountain with a calm and composed gait, his eyes like lightning, scanning this ominous place that had once troubled him.

"Who can stop me here and now?"

This thought flashed through Ling Xiao's mind, filled with absolute confidence and disdain.

He had been here before.

At that moment, he keenly sensed the unique and powerful aura of the Sword and Saber Duo subtly wafting deep within the mountains, like a lighthouse in the darkness.

However, at that time, Seven Kings Mountain was one of the core forbidden areas of the Demon Sea. The power guarding this place was unfathomable, and unknown dangers lurked within.

Given his strength at the time, forcibly breaking in would have been tantamount to courting death, so he could only bury this feeling deep in his heart.

Today is different from the past!
Ling Xiao is no longer the cautious martial artist he once was.

With the God-Slaying Sword in hand and the Demon God's Dharma Image hidden in his mind, his strength was enough to allow him to roam freely in the heart of this Demon Sea!

Looking across the world, besides that young demon king in seclusion, who else is worthy of Ling Xiao's true fear?
In his eyes, Qiwang Mountain was now nothing more than a backyard he could freely explore.

The powerful divine sense, like an invisible tide, surged and swept across the entire Seven Kings Mountain, centered on Lingxiao!
Under the sweeping gaze of this domineering and unparalleled divine thought, even the rocks, vegetation, cave restrictions, and lurking demons and evil spirits were all revealed in their entirety, leaving them nowhere to hide.

Sure enough, in no time at all, Ling Xiao's gaze was firmly fixed on a very hidden crevice in the belly of the main peak of Seven Kings Mountain, which was covered by heavy natural evil energy and ancient restrictions!

With each step he took, the space seemed to shrink beneath his feet.

When he reappeared, he was already in the core of that dark, cold rift filled with a dense aura of swords and killing intent.

What lay before them was neither the magnificent palace they had imagined, nor mountains of treasures.

There is only one naturally formed, pitch-black stone platform covered with strange patterns.

A knife lay quietly on the stone platform!

The knife has an antique style, even looking somewhat old. The blade has a dark luster that has been etched by time, and the handle is wrapped with strips of cloth that have long since faded.

It had no dazzling light, no amazing energy fluctuations; it was as if it were just a piece of ordinary iron forgotten in a corner.

However, when Ling Xiao's gaze fell on the blade, the dormant God-Slaying Sword within him emitted a slight hum, as if it had encountered a nemesis or an old friend.

More importantly, he clearly felt that the strange "Green Spirit" he carried with him, which he had obtained from the place left behind by the Twin Swordsmen, was now emitting an unprecedented heat and throbbing!

"When the Green Spirit encounters the Blade, its legacy can be awakened!"

A sharp glint flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes.

All the clues point to this place!
This seemingly ordinary knife is the key to unlocking the legacy of the Twin Fiends within the Demon Needle Space and awakening the dormant "Twin Fiends Sect"!

However, the ecstasy lasted only a moment before being extinguished by a cold reality.

Just as Ling Xiao tried to reach for the ancient sword, an invisible, vast, and powerful force, as powerful as a starry sea, suddenly rose from the stone platform!

The strange patterns covering the stone platform were instantly illuminated, transforming into intertwined chains that exuded an ancient, desolate, and indestructible aura!

These chains are not physical entities, yet they are tougher than any divine metal. They are not energy, yet they contain terrifying laws that can freeze space and bind time!
The knife was firmly imprisoned on the stone platform, fused together with those chains of law!
"seal!"

Ling Xiao's brows furrowed instantly, and his expression became extremely solemn.

He tried to activate a wisp of holy rune power, like the most precise probe, carefully touching the phantom of the law chains.

Om-!
An overwhelming force of counterattack suddenly struck, and the wisp of holy rune power was swallowed up and annihilated instantly, like a mud ox sinking into the sea!
Furthermore, a cold, repulsive will, seemingly originating from the very source of the world, surged back through the connection, causing Ling Xiao's mind to tremble!
"What a powerful seal!"

Ling Xiao withdrew his hand, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp.

He was an expert in holy runes and had seen countless powerful restrictions, but the level of the seal before him, the purity of its power, and the antiquity of its laws far exceeded his imagination!

This is something no ordinary cultivator could have accomplished!
No wonder Shadow Sha said that even if the entire Demon Sea exerted all its strength and spent countless years, it would not be able to shake this seal in the slightest!
With his current understanding and mastery of the sacred runes, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in the face of this insurmountable seal!
His mastery of sacred runes appeared so insignificant and shallow before this seal, like a speck of dust gazing up at the heavens!
"Should we... just give up like this?!"

Ling Xiao stared intently at the ancient sword on the stone platform, so close yet so far away. A strong sense of resentment surged and churned within him like volcanic lava!
My heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand, so suffocating that it felt like it was about to explode!

After countless searches and life-or-death battles, we finally found this crucial key!

We are only one step away from uncovering the secrets of the Sword and Blade Duo's legacy and awakening the mysterious Twin Fiends Gate within the Demon Needle Space!
Just one step!
This feeling is like trekking thousands of miles through the desert, finally seeing the source of water in an oasis, only to find yourself isolated by a bottomless abyss!
"I am not reconciled... I, Ling Xiao, will never accept stopping here!"

His deep voice echoed in the dark mountain crevice, carrying an almost obsessive resolve.

give up?

This word never existed in his dictionary!

Just as Ling Xiao was staring intently at the ancient sword bound by the chains of law, the flames of resentment in his chest almost bursting out...

A deep, slightly hoarse voice, seemingly emanating from the source of time and traversing the dust of countless years, suddenly and abruptly echoed in Ling Xiao's mind, as if resounding directly from the depths of his soul:
"You... want to break the seal?"

The voice had a metallic quality and contained an ancient sense of vicissitude. Every syllable seemed to stir up invisible ripples in the vast sea of ​​consciousness!

Ling Xiao was utterly shaken!

It felt as if I had been struck hard by an invisible giant hammer!
He abruptly opened his sharp, hawk-like eyes, which instantly flashed with two condensed, tangible beams of light, like stars suddenly ignited in the darkness. He warily scanned the surrounding dark mountain crevice, and his icy voice, carrying an undeniable authority, uttered:

"Who?!"

His divine sense swept out like an invisible storm, scanning the entire rift space inside and out several times, but he found nothing!
"it's me!"

That ancient and hoarse voice rang out again, this time its source clearly pointing to the dark stone platform shrouded by a powerful seal, and to the seemingly dormant ancient sword on the platform!

"I am the sword of the former Blade Demon—'Thunder Spirit'!"

Dao Sha's sword!

Thunder Spirit!

These words exploded in Ling Xiao's mind like a thunderclap!
