Chapter 92 - Grandpa?! (1/2)
The Heavenly Sword Villa's Sword Management Terrace was several times larger than the ranking tournament's Sword Discourse Arena. As far as the eye could see, as many as ten thousand swords flew in the sky above the Sword Management Terrace, stirring up an even greater vortex of sword energy.
Various kinds of swords also covered the entire surface of the Sword Management Terrace, and a few heavy swords were also included among them. Though their numbers was extremely low, they were definitely not of common grade. Even the most inferior weapon there was at least a Spirit Profound Artifact.
In the middle of the Sword Management Terrace, a pitch-black sword as large as the heavens was halfway into the ground and halfway into the sky. The incomparably enormous sword body released an ancient and heavy aura. Ling Kun was walking at the very front and stopped in front of the enormous sword. He turned around and said.
Ling Kun: This sword, is called ”Heaven's Punishment”, and is the suppressed demon's sword. The demon arrested several hundred years ago, is precisely sealed beneath this sword. The demon is incredibly strong, but inside the sealing formation, his strength has greatly been suppressed, so he should never think of escaping. However, since it is a sealing formation, its power would naturally diminish through time. Every 20 years, Mighty Heavenly Sword Region would always send 1 person here to strengthen the seal formation.
The Demon's existence was originally a secret. Because the things that are related to him, may possibly affect the life and death of the entire Profound Sky Continent. The reason why we have allowed everyone to witness his true appearance is because not long after last time's seal strengthening, his relatives used a special method to avoid the Four Great Sacred Grounds' blockade, and entered the Profound Sky Continent.
They asked all over about this demon's location with the intent to rescue him. At the very end, they had still discovered Blue Wind Empire. If not for our Mighty Heavenly Sword Region's detection, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
Jean: Heeee… Interesting…
Ling Kun: Today, everyone should open their eyes wide and clearly look at the appearance of a demon. In the future, if anyone asks you about people who look similar, you have to inform the Heavenly Sword Villa. Don't be lazy or negligent by any means! Because that could possibly be another demon!
That matter over ten years ago was enough to prove that they found some way to enter the Profound Sky Continent without the Four Great Sacred Grounds being aware of it! If this demon was rescued accidentally and its powers are restored, it would bring a great calamity to the Profound Sky Continent!
Then, following his hand gesture, an enormous profound formation flashed from under the huge sword. In the profound formation's rotation, that huge sword as large as the sky slowly rose. Underneath the platform, was the lower half of the sword's body that had not seen night or day for twenty whole years.
The sword's body rose higher and higher, gradually reaching a height of several hundred meters. And just at this moment, a voice that sounded like it came from an evil spirit came from below.
?: GRR… AAHH!!!! Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, you old dogs! Have you come to visit this granddaddy again… HAHAHAHAHAHA… You pack of shameless, despicable, and treacherous dogs! If you have guts, hurry up and kill me already!
I want to become a malicious spirit, tear the skin off your flesh, drink your blood, bite your bones into mush, pulverize your organs… and drag you all down to the 18th level of hell, to suffer the penetration of ten thousands of blades for all eternity, and feel the pain of burning in hellfire!!
Jean: *Whistle* He sure can curse people…
Fen Juechen: ...Junior Brother Jean, is that really the only thing you are thinking about?
Jean just shrugged and continued to hear the demon curse the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region…
The enormous Heaven's Punishment Sword continued to rise for a little while longer until it had finally stopped. The tip of huge sword moved a similarly sized surface which appeared at the previously empty space.
What appeared in front of the people's eyes was a huge light yellow half sphere barrier. Within the barrier, was the huge Heaven's Punishment Sword with several tens of chains on the tip of it firmly sealing a person with a full set of white hair.
His hair had reached the ground a long time ago and covered half his body and face. His body was as thin as a match and had a face that was as wrinkled as an evil spirit, but his pair of eyes was as frightening as the sharpest knives in the world and radiated a resentment that was like the abyss of hell.
Disciple: That…. That's a demon?
Disciple 2: Being sealed in the profound formation for over a hundred years without eating, drinking or dying. It's practically an old demon! Sssss… what a terrifying demon, he glanced at me for a moment, and my entire body went cold.
Cang Yue: So… so scary.
Jean: ...What a disappointment…
He muttered low enough that only Jasmine could hear.
Jasmine: He isn't even a demon, what a joke. A real demon of the demon race is even scarier than you can imagine!
Jean: So a real demon is different? I'm looking forward to it...
Despite the curses of the ”Demon”, Ling Kun's expression didn't change.
Ling Kun: You want to curse, curse as much as you like. Heh, you think I don't dare to kill you? If it wasn't for you still having some uses, being a bargaining chip for exchange at some necessary moments, you would have died several hundred times by now! Why would we go through the trouble of keeping you alive for a hundred years?
?: Despicable old dogs, you're dreaming. Don't think you can exchange me for anything! I was never willing to die because I wanted to personally see the the great Demon Emperor slaughter your entire family. That day won't take too long to come… hahahaha!
Ling Kun: Hahahahaha! It looks like you're truly unclear on who is actually dreaming. It's no harm for me to tell you again that your Demon Emperor had already died a long time ago. Died under hands of our Mighty Heavenly Sword Region's Sword Master and the Sun Moon Divine Hall's Heavenly Monarch.
Your pitiful Demon Emperor who had just ascended to the throne, overestimated his own abilities and wanted to take revenge for his father. Tsk tsk… his cries were so pitiful when dying. Right now, the entire Illusory Demon Realm is supported by a little demon empress.
Unfortunately, though the pitiful little demon empress has imperial blood, your Illusory Demon Realm doesn't seem to be willing to let a woman become Emperor. She doesn't even have time to look after herself… slaughter our whole family? Hahaha, simply an enormous joke.
Jean: Oof… That hurts much more than the sword qi…
?: Utter bullshit! How can you bunch of inferior old dogs even compare to our Illusory Demon Realm's great Demon Emperor! The great Demon Emperor can never die… NEVER! There will be a day when he will personally slaughter everything!!
Ling Kun: Hahahaha, then just keep on dreaming!
During his ridiculous laughter, Ling Kun wiped the spatial ring in his hands and several ten lumps of light yellow crystals hovered in front of his body. Along with a wave of Ling Kun's arm, these several tens of crystals all separately flew towards a corner of the imprisoned ”demon's” light yellow barrier, slowly submerged into the barrier, and became part of the barrier's power.
Suddenly, the color of the entire barrier became even deeper, causing the tint to become sparkly, it looked as if the yellow light filled its entirety. Those several tens of yellow crystalline objects all contained an incredibly power sealing force. Along with their merging, a once in every twenty years of barrier stabilization was completed at this moment.
Ling Kun: The profound formation used to seal this demon is called the Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation. No matter who it is, in this Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation, their profound strength would be suppressed to the maximum limit. When this demon is being locked under Heaven's Punishment, he shall never even think of ever escaping this Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation.
This demon's outer appearance is completely the same as us, and profound strength is also what he cultivates, yet he possess a type of special ability called ”Profound Handle”. However, amongst the demons, those who possess ”Profound Handles” are also few in number.
Jean: *Cough* *Cough*!
He started to cough as saliva was stuck in his throat, making Cang Yue and Fen Juechen worried.
Cang Yue: Junior Brother Jean! Are you okay?!
Jean: Y-Yeah… Just small cough…
Profound Handle?! Demon my ȧss! That guy is the only clue for my origins!
