Without a sharp edge, it was merely a solidified sword intent harbored within the Primordial Qi. With a catalyst, the Primordial Qi could temporarily take form, revealing a hint of its sharpness. It was this very edge that, like a hot knife through butter, disregarded Bu Cuo's Protective True Evil, piercing his skull, entering and exiting his brain.

This sword strike was both elusive and solidly impactful.

Bu Cuo had no means to dissolve the Sword Energy. Of course, he possessed the "Yin Yang Disk," which at this moment, ground flesh and blood into fuel, spinning and distorting. Even with Yu Ci borrowing the power of the Star Track Sword Realm, it was difficult to inflict serious damage. However, when Yu Ci drove the Primordial Formless Sword with the method taught by Xuan Huang, this marvelous sword without physical form could follow the force exerted by the Yin Yang Disk, entering with the flow. Not only was there no loss, but the force and speed increased, striking Bu Cuo squarely in the forehead with a single blow.

"This is the difference between people and their destinies!"

Xuan Huang laughed heartily in the Inner Void of the Heart, extremely pleased, "The Primordial Formless Sword uses Primordial Qi as its material, but there's never been a need for refining. Apart from Ms. Hao Dian having complete control, anyone else who wants to control it must rely on their own abilities."

"Great sword!" Yu Ci exclaimed. However, once the Primordial Formless Sword left his hand, he found it somewhat difficult to control.

"Don't worry about it for now. The principles governing this sword's operation are extremely subtle and selective. Since its inception, only the sword's creator, the Ancient Sword Immortal, and Ms. Hao Dian, have been able to wield it freely under Several Tens of Tribulations. You should treat it as a hidden weapon!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ci understood and no longer deliberately tried to control it. Sure enough, he found that the sword naturally faded into the air, leaving no trace. The sensation left by the use of the Sword Method was faint, easily overlooked if not careful. However, there was one thing he couldn't ignore: In the center of the twisting force of the Yin Yang Disk, Bu Cuo's head hung low, his Aura vanished. It seemed he was thoroughly dead, yet the Yin Yang Disk was still spinning.

The next moment, Bu Cuo's massive body suddenly shrank, as if all the bones in his body had been removed and all his blood and body fluids had been drained. At the same time, in the center of the Yin Yang Disk, the Aura of the nurtured object grew stronger. Yu Ci felt that beyond the void, there seemed to be a pair of cold eyes staring at him.

With a sudden whoosh, it was as if a colossal hand had torn the heavens apart. The Yin Yang Disk momentarily separated into two, the energy of Yin and Yang oscillating and transforming. Three beams of red light shot out from the top of the Pan Emperor's Three Swords. Bu Cuo, who had been silent, and Xiao Bo, who had barely managed to hold on, along with Chen Guang, all suddenly weakened, plummeting from the sky.

A spirit escaping the body?

Yu Ci had barely formed the thought when the three red beams collided mid-air, merging into one. The Yin Yang Disk continued to rotate around them, but its twisting force was gradually diminishing, replaced by a gloomy, oppressive power that undoubtedly emanated from the merged red light.

"Yu Ci, you whelp, I will leave you with no place to rest in death!"

The voice emanated from the red light, bizarre and eerie, as if three people were speaking in unison. But as it continued, it became clearer, leaving only a voice that was neither distinctly male nor female. The words "no place to rest in death" grew sharper with each utterance, finally morphing into a demonic sound that pierced the skull and shook the Divine Soul.

Before the echo had even faded, a dark bead rose from within the red light, spinning in mid-air. A low hum filled the air as an almost invisible ring of poisonous fire blazed fiercely around it, the heat wave expanding, threatening to scorch everything in its path.

"It's the Sky Demon Fire again!"

Yu Ci knew well that the Sky Demon Fire, when used to its full extent, could burn through space and break down the barriers between the physical and the spiritual. It could appear and disappear unpredictably, incinerating both body and spirit. He could not afford to ignore it. Despite the immense pressure the Star Track Sword Realm placed on him, he drew upon a force to seal it off and swung his sword.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Seventeen or eighteen Sword Energies were released, creating a spectacle of earth-shattering power. But the red light only flickered in the void a couple of times before it let all the Sword Energies pass through. The hidden sword intent and the method to drive away evil also failed to take effect.

As the Sword Energies were released, the Nine Luminaries Dragon Abyss Sword Talisman shattered. Yu Ci reacted quickly, trying to form another Sword Talisman immediately. But in a battle of masters, how many opportunities would he have? The opponent let out a piercing scream, the Demonic Sound swept out, not only attacking the Divine Soul but also driving the Sky Demon Fire, stirring the surrounding Primordial Qi into chaos. The Talisman in the Talisman Plate condensed the True divine, but it could not gather the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. It was as good as nothing.

The Sky Demon Fire surged forward, and Yu Ci grunted, forcibly tearing open the wound on his right hand. A streak of blood light shot out, serving as a medium for his sword intent, and transformed into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air, colliding head-on with the Sky Demon Fire.

The sizzling sound was continuous. Although it blocked the Sky Demon Fire, the blood mist carrying his sword intent was evaporated in a blink of an eye. The truly lethal Plague Demon Seeds from his opponent took the opportunity to pour over. Yu Ci, however, used the Qi of the Heavenly Dragon True Form to protect his Divine Soul, keeping them at bay.

The Qi of the Heavenly Dragon True Form was indeed an apt counter, but it was difficult to materialize, hence it could only defend and lacked the power to retaliate. What he detested most was the Sky Demon Fire. Because of its ability to burn through the void, it appeared and disappeared unpredictably, suddenly in front, then behind, spewing fire around Yu Ci. Several times, it nearly landed directly on his physical body. Fortunately, unlike the Primordial Formless Sword, it did not strike without warning, making it possible to defend against, otherwise Yu Ci would have been doomed.

Recalling the time in the Eastern Marquis' tomb, the Pan Emperor's Three Swords struggled to control the Sky Demon Fire. Now, however, they wielded it effortlessly. In just a few moments, Yu Ci found himself at a disadvantage. Due to the unpredictable nature of the Sky Demon Fire, his use of the Star Track Sword Realm power actually hindered his movements. Therefore, he had to abandon his backup, go lightly armed into battle, but at this moment he had no sword, he could only form one with his blood. This worked for a while, but soon, he found it hard to keep up.

At this moment, more than ever, he wished he had a divine weapon. But tracing the root of the problem, there was no doubt that it was due to the red light aberration in front of him.

Breathing slightly heavily, Yu Ci asked, "What kind of method is this?"

Xuan Huang had been pondering for a while and immediately responded, "What method? This is clearly a wicked technique that uses the body and spirit as sacrifices to please the Sky Demon! There must be a Sky Demon Parasite in their bodies, divided into three parts and hidden deep within. Once united, it can manifest the body of the Sky Demon... I thought that scoundrel had the audacity to establish a sect. Turns out, he's just fattening up the Sky Demon like a pig or dog for slaughter. Disgusting!"

"Sky Demon? Is this the Sky Demon?"

"Can't be sure, Sky Demons don't like blood, they prefer human desires. This thing doesn't look like it, perhaps it's combined with other wicked methods, has the aura of dark demons, and a bit of the stench of the Blood Purgatory Ghost Mansion..."

"So it's not a physical entity, right?"

"Err, aren't their physical bodies over there...?"

"I get it now!"

With the affirmation from Xuan Huang, Yu Ci's spirit was invigorated. Xuan Huang immediately sensed this change: "Do you have a solution?"

Yu Ci did not respond. At this moment, within the Inner Void of the Heart, the various Divine Power External Appearances, which were violently fluctuating due to the use of the Qi of the Heavenly Dragon True Form, were all certain. Only the peripheral imagery of the forest changed rapidly. Layers shattered and reformed. In the blink of an eye, the scene had drastically changed. The forest disappeared like smoke, replaced by a stream, a small building, a palace, a pavilion, and the vast night sky filled with twinkling stars.

Xuan Huang watched familiarly. After a moment, he suddenly realized that this was exactly the appearance of the "Lifeless Deathless Garden."

Meanwhile, in the real world, Yu Ci let out a long howl. He no longer resisted the erosion of the Sky Demon Fire with Sword Energy. Instead, he flicked his robe, and a green light shone. The red light in mid-air shivered abruptly. Some of the Sky Demon Fire seemed about to burn through Yu Ci, but under this influence, it shivered violently and dissipated cleanly.

Yu Ci didn't care about these things. He held up the Divine Bronze Mirror, quickly recalling the insights he had when he first activated the Treasure Mirror. He poured all his strength into it, using the Yin Spirit to control it, looking for the most profound Mechanism.

But at this moment, inexplicably, he thought of a sentence that he was not very familiar with. It was a mystical incantation that he had some impression of but had never practiced. It was like the thought of controlling the sword method that Xuan Huang had just sent over. Yu Ci instinctively began to operate it. In the Lifeless Deathless Garden, it was as if a bright moon rose from the flat ground. Looking up close, all the stars in the sky were dim.

The red light let out another sharp howl. The dark magic bead transformed from the Heavenly Calculation Bead hung above the red light. The burning Demon Fire gathered like a large umbrella, covering the red light.

However, on the mirror surface, there was also a green light like a bundle. Under the half-sweeping and half-shining, it looked at the Demon Fire as if it was nothing. It turned in the air, the red light receded, and when looked closely, it had been collected into the long bundle of green light, and then into the mirror surface.

My goodness...
