Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 63: Taking Control, Ancestral Tomb Explodes
The terrifying and savage aura suffocated Wuo Huai, his eyes full of panic as he kept retreating in fear.
"Mr. Xu?"
"Xu Yang, wake up for me."
Wuo Huai couldn’t help but shout with all his might.
But Xu Yang was completely unaware, standing upright like a statue, his hand still tightly gripping the Demon Dragon Saber.
He seemed to have melded into one with the Demon Dragon Saber.
An endless torrent of Evil Qi erupted forth, twining itself around Xu Yang’s body.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Yang looked like a demonic god shrouded in menacing Evil Qi.
"What’s going on?"
The elderly guardian of the treasury flashed inside like a bolt of lightning.
Seeing this, the corners of his eyes twitched violently: "The seal on the Demon Dragon Saber actually broke a layer? How is that possible?"
Wuo Huai gulped, seeing the elder as if he were a savior.
"Quick, as soon as he grabbed the Demon Dragon Saber, he turned into this."
"Xu Yang cannot have anything happen to him."
If the seal hadn’t been broken, he wouldn’t have been worried.
But the might of the Demon Dragon Saber with one layer of seal broken was absolutely not something he or Xu Yang could resist!
The elder guardian frowned slightly, staring closely at Xu Yang, his eyes full of shock.
"Don’t panic."
"He seems all right."
"All right?"
"That’s impossible!"
Wuo Huai froze for a moment, shaking his head wildly.
The elder ignored Wuo Huai, looking Xu Yang up and down, his mind echoing with Wuo Huai’s earlier words.
He grabbed the Demon Dragon Saber and then shattered the first layer of its seal?
One must know, the first layer of the seal required at least Peak Yin Realm strength to break!
And that was Spiritual Power!
Even he was shocked by this.
But as far as he could sense, Xu Yang’s Spiritual Power, though wavering, was still holding steady under the Demon Dragon Saber’s pressure.
As if utterly unaffected or eroded!
Strange!
"Don’t worry, if things get out of control, I will act!" Seeing Wuo Huai’s anxious look, the elder waved his hand, speaking with assurance—he knew very well Xu Yang’s true identity.
But he also wanted to see—could he truly master the Demon Dragon Saber?
This demonic blade—for so, so many years, it had had no master!
Boom—ka!
The Demon Dragon Saber suddenly trembled once more.
Roar!
With a high, thunderous dragon roar, the Evil Qi surged again.
"The second layer of seal has been broken!"
Hiss!
The elder guardian and Wuo Huai both sucked in cold breaths, their expressions completely out of control!
If there was barely some explanation for breaking the first layer—
—this second layer was simply beyond imagination, beyond words!
How did he accomplish this?
It was absolutely impossible for the Demon Dragon Saber to break its own seal.
The elder guardian was left dumbfounded, bewildered.
Suddenly.
Roar!
The dragon roar arose again.
Yet this time, the two could discern an undercurrent of fear and pain in the sound.
The two exchanged glances, as if they’d just seen a ghost.
"Is it me, or does it seem like the will of the Demon Dragon Saber is... afraid?" Wuo Huai stammered uncertainly.
"..."
The elder guardian swallowed hard, not daring to respond, because he simply couldn’t believe it was real.
Meanwhile—
Inside the spiritual space of the Demon Dragon Saber, Xu Yang’s mind trembled.
Before him, a gigantic Demon Dragon, swollen severalfold, was bound tightly by four chains.
No matter how it struggled, it simply could not break free!
Yet the terrifying, ferocious power it radiated made Xu Yang feel an unprecedented sense of dread!
Just brushing up against it would surely cause his own collapse.
Even a Yang Realm Martial Artist’s aura could never compare.
"The seal... is breaking..."
Xu Yang forcibly steadied his mind, desperately maintaining his composure as his thoughts tumbled chaotically.
How did the seal on the Demon Dragon Saber break?
Slowly, his gaze fell upon the four chains!
There could be no doubt.
It had to be the chains—they touched the very core of the Demon Dragon Saber.
One could say, breaking the seal was partly due to the Heaven-locking Seal transforming into chains, and partly due to the Demon Dragon Saber itself.
The chains had triggered the Saber at its root!
"However, this seems like a good thing!"
"With the chains here, I’m not afraid of the Demon Dragon Saber’s corruption."
"So long as things stay at this level for now, I’ll break the other seals once I’m stronger."
As for the benefits—
This ferocious Evil Qi could be used to temper Spiritual Power!
It’s even more effective than some special Spiritual Power cultivation methods.
It could also strengthen his willpower.
There’s another tactic: unleash the Evil Qi within this space, control it with Spiritual Power—so long as I carry the Demon Dragon Saber with me, even without wielding it, I can erode and intimidate the spiritual will of my enemies!
With so many thoughts flashing through his mind, Xu Yang couldn’t help but feel joyous.
At first, he was still unsure whether he wanted the Demon Dragon Saber—but now, there was no more hesitation!
The Demon Dragon Saber will be mine.
As time passed, the demon dragon’s struggles gradually weakened.
Under the chains, the demon dragon grew dispirited.
Within its dragon soul’s eyes, a deep fear emerged.
Finally, bound by the chains, it slowly bowed its head to Xu Yang.
It—submitted!
At that exact moment—
Xu Yang’s mind trembled, and in an instant, he withdrew from that spiritual space.
He slowly opened his eyes, feeling a close, intricate bond had formed between himself and the Demon Dragon Saber.
It was as if he’d refined it hundreds or thousands of times!
On the blade, the demon dragon brand was now still and unperturbed, while the surging Evil Qi was withdrawn at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In a blink, it seemed completely ordinary, calm as still water.
Even the faintest Evil Qi at the start had utterly vanished without a trace.
The elder guardian and Wuo Huai stared blankly at the sight.
"If I remember correctly, even those at first to control the Demon Dragon Saber could never have accomplished this."
Suppressing it so that it seemed cleansed and natural, without a bit of Evil Qi leaking out!
"How was this possible?"
If he were a Yang Realm powerhouse, it’d be reasonable.
But Xu Yang is still only in the Late Stage of True Void Realm, at best able to compete with Peak Yin Realm.
Hearing the voice from behind, Xu Yang turned and saw the elder guardian, was surprised but forced a steady smile, "It was just luck!"
He would never bother to explain.
But this trip to the treasury truly yielded great rewards.
The uses of this blade still required time for careful study.
"Two layers of seals..." Wuo Huai was still dazed.
The elder guardian gave Xu Yang a deep, meaningful look, asked no further, and said quietly: "Congratulations, Mr. Xu. I don’t know what method you used, but the Demon Dragon Saber is still terrifying. Please wield it with caution."
"This item should be of some help to Mr. Xu."
He handed over a Jade Talisman.
"This is..." Xu Yang looked at the elder in puzzlement.
The elder said, "Inside are some experiences with the Demon Dragon Saber, and methods of unsealing its layers. If you’re ever invaded by Evil Qi, you can try to use this seal."
Just when I was dozing, someone delivered a pillow!
Xu Yang was overjoyed, quickly taking it. "Thank you, Senior!"
The elder gave a slight smile, "After so many years, seeing the Demon Dragon Saber reappear is a cause for celebration!"
Too bad, though, you are not of the Barbarian Race!
But, alas, the Barbarian Race truly does not have such a freakish figure.
Rumble!!
The ground suddenly shook, the upheaval growing more and more violent, seeming to engulf the whole manor, spreading from far to near.
"What’s happening?" Xu Yang frowned, scanning his surroundings.
The elder guardian was also stunned, his face full of bewilderment.
Clang!
Xu Yang suddenly looked to the Demon Dragon Saber.
The Demon Dragon Saber was also trembling, the demon dragon brand flashing with a deep, eerie gleam. The dragon’s shadow flickered, reviving from its stillness.
"Could all this commotion be related to the Demon Dragon Saber too?" Xu Yang cried out in shock.
"Outside—quick, leave this place!"
The elder’s expression changed. Not bothering to ponder more, he gave a low shout and rushed out.
Xu Yang and Wuo Huai looked at each other and hurried after him.
Emerging from the treasury, the three leapt into the air, looking toward the source of the disturbance.
It was in the deepest part of the manor’s woodlands.
"That—that’s the ancestral grave of the Kunwu Division!"
Upon seeing this, the elder drew a sharp breath.
Even as his exclamation fell, a deafening boom burst from the woods, accompanied by a massive spray of dust, and vaguely, a coffin’s phantom shadow could be seen.
Boom!
