Born with immortal seed

Chapter 725 Slaughtering All, No More Reincarnation
"Back then, my sword cultivation was not yet complete, so I could only feign to scare you away... Now that you are at the same level as me, how can I rest until you are forever plunged into silence!"

Bai Zichen's eyes were filled with murderous intent. The time he collided with Yin Zu was almost the most dangerous moment for him.

The Star River Sword Formation could not be set up, and the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword was still being nurtured. Only the Dao-Born Sword technique remained, which could be used to fight beyond one's level.

However, he was facing a demonic cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the Great Dao was extremely effective against cultivators of lower realms. It was very difficult for him to even make a move in front of Yin Zu.

In a way, Yin Zu's extensive knowledge saved Bai Zichen's life.

If he didn't recognize the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword and the power of this supreme divine ability, he would have captured Bai Zichen long ago.

It was only by the prestige of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword and the manifestation of the true meaning of time that Yin Ancestor, who dared not risk his lifespan, was frightened away. It can be said that he had only stepped into the gates of hell and had taken a stroll inside.

I have never felt so terrified and uncertain when facing any Nascent Soul cultivator before.

The eternally tranquil river of time seemed to receive a summons, and sword light fell, from the past to the future, with multiple sword lights leaping out at the same time, slashing down into the void.

Bai Zichen's five fingers gripping the sword hilt turned white, and the veins bulged. The sword strike he unleashed seemed to have drained him of all his energy.

As the last Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword was swung down, Little White Nascent Soul collapsed to the ground, its size shrinking.

The usually smooth, egg-like face now had two wrinkles, revealing a hint of fatigue.

Bai Taotao, who was in seclusion in the cave refining the power of the same origin, suddenly opened her eyes and sensed the surging power of time.

And lifespan is rapidly draining from its owner, not just in two or three years, but in hundreds of years.

"Even I can't absorb my master's lifespan, so what other means in the world can make his lifespan drain away so rapidly... unless he deliberately burns his own lifespan!"

Bai Taotao guessed correctly; this is indeed the complete version of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword!

He sacrificed a hundred years of his lifespan to summon a sword unlike any other. It landed on Yin Zu's head the moment he reacted, ignoring his demonic clouds as it passed through.

With a flick of his hand, the thirty-six Heavenly Demon Nails that had been fixed in place and scattered at will returned to Yun Zhongjun's sleeve.

This time, the quantity was doubled, reaching a total of one hundred and eight.

This object is only an inch long. When it is in the middle of a person's body, it will immediately grow to a huge size. It can shatter a person into pieces and break all escape spells.

Its activation is concealed and difficult to detect, and its insidious nature is hard to guard against. It is a treasure that a demon ravaged the Western Sea tens of thousands of years ago.

After being obtained by Yin Zu, it was refined into a natal magic weapon. With each reincarnation, a dozen or so new ones were refined, forcibly increasing the number from the original thirty-six to the current one hundred and eight.

It transformed from an early low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure into a top-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

Yin Zu knew his own Dao clearly, and knew that he would only perform poorly when facing the true meaning of time, so he placed his hopes on the Heavenly Demon Nail.

He bit his tongue, spraying a mouthful of blood evenly onto each of the Heavenly Demon Nails. Puffs of blood light burst forth, trying to hold back the light of the Time Sword.

But as soon as they entered the range of the Time Sword, all the Heavenly Demon Nails slowed down, as if they were moving through mud.

The blood-red light has rusted, dimmed and lifeless, leaving only black and white.

It was like a stop-motion animation slowed down a thousand times, with only the light of the sword moving at normal speed, or even as if the speed-up button had been pressed.

When the Heavenly Demon Nails touched it, they all fell down, each one only taking away a trace of power.

Even after all 108 nails were destroyed, the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword had not diminished by even a third of its power.

The 'True Azure Emperor Longevity Sword' possesses its own lifespan-driven power, drawing upon the unique energy from the river of time.

Moreover, Bai Zichen incorporated the essence of the Three Worlds Subduing Sword Technique into it, allowing him to unleash his sword simultaneously on both the past and future levels.

The sword of the past strikes each time the Yin Ancestor is reincarnated.

The sword of the future struck his Dao embryo, which he had hidden deep within several caves.

Whether immersed in the spirit pool, frozen in the mysterious ice, or buried deep underground... all were severed from their connection in this instant, and fell into eternal slumber.

Yin Zu felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if several thin threads had been torn, a sense of impending doom.

The sword flashed and struck him, causing him to scream in agony as he fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

It was impossible to tell that this was a Demon Lord in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm who had suppressed Bai Zichen to the point of being unable to even make a move simply by using his power.

"Even without the Nascent Soul cultivation level, it can still block my sword!"

Bai Zichen himself felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if the person inside his body had vanished.

The True Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword injures itself before it harms others, demonstrating the immense burden it bears.

If it weren't for the desire to take this opportunity to completely eliminate Yin Zu, and the possibility of making up for the lost lifespan with longevity-restoring pills, I really wouldn't have been willing to activate it.

With such a limited lifespan, even the youngest person can't withstand using the True Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword every time.

Unlike the cultivators of the Fish-Dragon Sect in the past, the Azure Emperor Longevity Sword in their hands is a means of deterrence, and they may never use it even once in their lifetime.

The greater the natural power, the better; negative effects are not a concern.

But for Bai Zichen, the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword is a regular divine power. The essential difference is that he truly mastered the divine power of time, rather than just benefiting from the blood essence of a sacred beast like others.

In the future, as his progress in the Dao of Time continues, the intervals between uses of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword will only become shorter and shorter.

It's unbearable to cut off one's own lifespan by a hundred years at the drop of a hat.

Little White Nascent Soul spat out a mouthful of his natal true essence and once again activated the Taiyin Purifying and Turbidifying Slash.

Yin Zu lay on the ground, unable to move. The Demon Lord, who once ruled the Western Sea and had reincarnated more than five times, did not even have the strength to activate the Disintegration Technique.

He is not dead yet; it is simply because his cultivation level is high enough that he has forcibly retained a sliver of his lifespan and has not been taken away by the sword of light.

This period of time could be the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, or it could be two or three days.

A transparent shield appeared, blocking the Taiyin Qingzhuo Slash, but it cracked crisply in less than three breaths.

"To be able to crystallize divine sense at this point, the strength of one's divine consciousness has probably already reached the ascension standard..."

Bai Zichen couldn't help but sigh; this demon's strength was indeed terrifying.

If he could unleash his full power and not have his cultivation restricted by the golden tadpole spirit script on the stone tablet, and use all four Azure Emperor Longevity Swords on himself, he would have a chance to fight to the death together.

Fortunately, the person who left the inscription on the stone tablet was the patriarch Shaoyang Zhenjun, who was a disciple of who knows how many generations ago.

By having him complete the Golden Tadpole Spirit Script, the actions of the three Nascent Soul cultivators who wanted to massacre the rebellious Nascent Soul cultivator became a huge joke, putting himself in danger.

Crackling!

One jade talisman after another exploded, and one defensive restriction after another flashed on the robe. The runes were so complex that there were no blank areas left, and it was unknown how many layers were stacked.

When it loses its master's control and relies entirely on automatic combat, the Taiyin Qingzhuo Slash is perfectly suited to perform.

Once a single breakthrough is found, those defensive barriers will crumble like ants in a breached dam, collapsing en masse.

Bai Zichen had never seen anyone with so many defensive measures on their body.

There are more than two hundred jade talismans that are sealed with fifth-order defensive spells and can be activated once attacked.

On the robes, inside the inner armor, and in every inch of skin—every imaginable place—restrictions were drawn.

They were all defensive barriers that had no shortcuts and could only be broken through by brute force or slowly worn down, numbering no less than a thousand.

It can only be said that after mastering the secret technique of reincarnation, reaching the peak of cultivation is too easy, leaving too much time unused.

In addition to doubling the number of Heavenly Demon Nails, he also had time to push his defensive measures to the limit.

If someone else were to come, even if Yin Zu were lying there, a Great True Lord wouldn't be able to harm him for at least a year or two.

However, the cultivator they encountered was named Bai Zichen, whose supernatural power was best at borrowing strength. As long as no one countered, the two tiny points of power could collide to create the world-destroying Taiyin Qingzhuo Slash.

The two extreme truths were kept under control within a stable range, and continued to grow and expand.

As the saying goes, "the higher the virtue, the greater the evil," and given this situation, in an ideal scenario, a single strike of the Taiyin Qingzhuo Sword could even annihilate a world.

Of course, it only exists in imagination and cannot be achieved in reality.

Whether it's the Moon Demon Saint Clan using their physical bodies directly, or Bai Zichen using a fifth-tier flying sword, there's a limit to how much they can achieve.

Unrestricted expansion will eventually overwhelm the supporting structure.

Another point is that when two completely opposite paths reach beyond one's own realm, the difficulty of control increases exponentially.

Even the slightest deviation will cause the two to lose balance and disintegrate.

Moreover, the situation in actual combat will be even more complex.

No opponent will sit idly by and watch you keep improving. With just a little interference, the Taiyin Qingzhuo Slash will also become ineffective.

Therefore, the Moon Demon Saint Clan never considered turning the Taiyin Purification Slash into a continuous divine power.

However, the current situation is indeed suitable for the Taiyin Qingzhuo Slash to be used.

In no more than half an hour, the more than two hundred jade talismans and thousands of restrictions on Yin Zu's body were reduced to ashes in front of the Taiyin Qingzhuo Zhan, which slammed into him fiercely.

With this loud noise, Yin Zu, who had ruled the Western Sea for an unknown period of time, perished completely, and the sky instantly darkened.

The ghost realm emerged, with countless hideous ghostly figures emitting sharp, mournful howls, rising and falling, appearing and disappearing.

Until a giant-mouthed demon king appeared, swallowed Yin Zu's body whole, and disappeared along with the demon realm.

On the same day, in the same place, two Nascent Soul cultivators perished in succession. Heaven and earth were moved, and after the strange phenomena subsided, the torrential rain and eerie winds continued unabated.

Judging from this situation, it would be a disservice to the two deceased Nascent Soul cultivators if it didn't last at least a hundred days.

"It's really not easy to obtain the remains of a materialized deity; every time, they're taken by the heavens and earth..."

After slaying Yin Zu and the Great Wilderness Elder, with only the Poison God escaping, Bai Zichen finally felt safe in the Western Sea.

After this battle, neither the Poison God who managed to escape nor the Sword Emperor and Heavenly Eye Daoist who have disappeared should provoke them again.

You can confidently and boldly pursue the Jingming Sect and seek the path back to your ancestral homeland.

With a wave of his hand, Qianzhang Peak collected the scattered Heavenly Demon Nails. Both of his newly defeated Heavenly Treasures had been defeated by him, and their spirits dared not be arrogant.

By obediently and humbly submitting, they expressed their willingness to submit.

Apart from that, the spoils of war were quite limited.

Most Nascent Soul cultivators keep their possessions in their grotto-heavens.

Occasionally, the remains hidden on the body are either integrated into the world or merged with strange phenomena, so there is no chance to touch them.

The only gain was a jade slip that slipped from Yin Zu's chest when his defenses were breached by Taiyin Qingzhuo.

"Nine Yuan Dao Embryo Jade Fluid Technique!"
