Chapter 250 The Supreme Heart Demon Chan (1/2)

The deities had the power to shift mountains and seas and were capable of plenty of unthinkable deeds. They transcended worldliness and attained holiness; they posited themselves above the masses and were detached from the mortal world.

Regardless of how insignificant the masses were, the power they produced when they were united and joined their power of heart was unimaginable. The power of heart, when combined with the mountains and rivers, could produce a force that even the deities would fear.

Back when the Empress used to run the world, she performed plenty of good deeds. However, only when she was walking on the path of Shen now that she harbored the wish to protect the living beings.

The form of protection she offered was amalgamated with the survival instinct of the spiritual beings, and this had lent her immeasurable divine power. She finally stood a chance at victory in the battle against Huang Longzi.

The sky full of sword gleam fell onto Huang Longzi's dragon scales as though it was raining orange day-lily. Some had managed to injure him, but most of them did not break apart his protective shield; the piercing pain made him angry, but even more so, he was afraid.

A giant wave rolled over, and endless Qi of Vitality formed around the Empress. It was like a giant millstone that was grinding Huang Longzi's body of a real dragon.

The living beings at the river made Huang Longzi uncomfortable with their power of heart. On top of that, the words of the spell were dissolved into the Trial of Water and Huang Longzi's technique of the Real Trial of Red Water lost its effect too. Moreover, the fate of the Dynasty contained within the imperial jade seal suppressed Huang Longzi's spirit.

The roars of the real dragon and the mountains and rivers resonated in the night sky. The moon in the sky watched in silence, as though it was used to seeing the vicissitudes of life.

Within the District of Sky Demon, Shen Lian was faced with the most treacherous situation he had ever encountered in his life.

The giant cocoon formed by the surrounding Sky Demon Insect had grown to be as big as a little hill. At the heart of it, Shen Lian calmly drew out countless sword gleams. It was as though he was unaware of the fact that the more Sky Demon Insects he killed, the more Sky Demon Insects that would be reborn.

It was as if the saying, ”For every foot that Dao had grown, the Demon would grow by ten feet” had come true. Shen Lian had literally cocooned himself like silkworms, and there was no escape from it.

A gentle voice rose slowly. In the quiet and isolate District of Sky Demon, Yanxu was akin to a deity. Even the slightest sound he made gave off the impression that he was in control here. ”Do you still not understand that whatever you are killing is merely the thoughts in your heart? The thoughts came with the heart. There is no end to it,” he spoke.

The demonic voice sounded deep and it had traveled through a thick layer of demonic cocoon before reaching Shen Lian's ears. However, Shen Lian seemed to be unaffected. He continued slashing repetitiously at a steady tempo.

After some time – perhaps a moment, perhaps a hundred year, sword aura akin to a long river had broken through the demonic cocoon. Just as the ancient Milky Way that crossed through countless stars, it had endless Dao meaning and was capable of washing away all form of filth.

As he slashed through the demonic insects, Shen Lian had been purifying his sword gleam. He stripped off the impetuous characteristics of the secular world from it, and he cleansed away the distracting thoughts that came from being a spiritual being. From there on, he was able to see his clean and bright nature. Just as the Milky Way that encapsulated a variety of changes and rolled forward eternally, it was indestructible.

”Where did you learn the Milky Way Swordsmanship from?” Yanxu asked in surprise.

”It does not seem authentic. Though, you must have seen the real Milky Way Swordsmanship. It seems that you have been through more than I have expected. However, it is me that you have run into today. How unfortunate,” Yanxu spoke lightly after the initial shock wore off.

The darkness was condensing, and Shen Lian remained in the demonic cocoon. Despite that the sword aura was rolling like the Milky Way, he was still in danger.
