Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 607: Eighteen Dragon Nurture Sword

The mountain range stretched endlessly, winding and flowing. At first glance, it resembled enormous dragons lying in wait, deep in slumber, awaiting the day of their revival.

The trees were dense and lush, brimming with vitality.

On ordinary days, hardly anyone dared to come here, for this was the place where the Demon Emperor secluded himself.

He was comprehending the Supreme Skills. These were laws not of this world, reigning above the Three Thousand Tao and transcending all living beings.

There were even rumors that the Demon Emperor was not only seeking enlightenment but also trying to evolve his bloodline towards that of the ancients.

"Lord Demon Emperor, please awaken!"

"Lord Demon Emperor, we have been waiting for a long time! Please, revive and slay the incoming enemies!"

"Lord Demon Emperor... Your offspring have perished, and your disciples... their fate is uncertain; they've likely met with disaster..."

Dozens of powerful members of the Emperor Clan's Qin Family encircled a mountain range, their voices echoing.

They appeared earnest and utterly devout, prostrating and continuously calling out the name of the Demon Emperor.

The Emperor's bloodline surged within them. A mysterious and unfathomable Bloodline Power spread from them into the mountains, a call to summon the secluded and dormant Demon Emperor.

This had been going on for several months.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Faint, amplified breathing sounds entered the area.

Dozens of Qin Family powerhouses showed joy, a thought resonating in their minds: "Soon."

Then, a deep and hoarse voice followed: "I..."

"Lord Demon Emperor? Are you awake?" An elderly man suddenly grew excited. His originally wizened and depleted body instantly seemed to brim with vitality.

Even the lifeless wrinkles on his face radiated with a renewed glow.

He stared intently into the depths of the mountain.

"Good..." The Demon Emperor transmitted his voice again. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Fantastic! Lord Demon Emperor has responded! He is about to revive!" the old man said tremulously, his words tumbling out in his excitement.

Then, using a Secret Technique, he conveyed this message to the outside world.

Instantly, the lands of the Northern Border were violently shaken, especially the Emperor Clan's Qin Family. The current Family Head personally appeared, taking a stand tens of thousands of miles outside Dayan.

Numerous Demon Race lords also made their appearance.

Suddenly, the sky above Dayan turned dark, abruptly and unexpectedly.

That petite and delicate figure, like an elf in the darkness, strode towards the Qin Family's powerhouses, her lips curling into a smile.

Sinister, chilling.

As the gentle breeze blew, her long hair danced and her dress fluttered.

Guang Xiaoyu caught sight of that elderly man from the Qin Family in an instant.

The old man was still looking at the darkened sky, bewildered, thinking to himself: "Could this be an omen of the Demon Emperor's emergence?"

The outside world went mad.

"The Demon Emperor is reviving!"

"Such a powerful aura..."

"Wrong, this is an omen!"

"After many years of seclusion, the Demon Emperor's revival has brought forth such a terrifying omen; he must have comprehended the Supreme Skills!"

"It can't be wrong, it must be so..."

The various Demon Race clans were abuzz with discussion.

The Human Clan at the borders fell into panic, but Jiang Ni'er remained calm. With her Heaven Insight Body, she could easily glimpse some heavenly signs without needing to perform divination.

This 'omen'—the darkness in the sky over Dayan—is it truly a sign of the Demon Emperor's emergence? It's clearly caused by the appearance of Demon cultivators.

She guessed that Guang Xiaoyu had made her move.

"Little Junior Sister..." Jiang Ni'er murmured, likely thinking of Guang Xiaoyu.

"Hmm," Mo Wuwei acknowledged beside her.

"We should set off," Jiang Ni'er declared, slowly rising to her feet.

With the Demon Emperor's revival, chaos will engulf the Northern Border. Guang Xiaoyu has already taken action, so Chen Pingping can't be far behind, can he? When they confront the Demon Emperor, many powerful Demon Race experts will inevitably take action. Although the two of them are prepared, what if something goes wrong?

"Brother Mo," Jiang Ni'er said, looking towards Mo Wuwei.

He nodded solemnly.

This odd pair then stepped into Demon Race territory.

「Meanwhile, in another part of Dayan.」

Chen Pingping, Yu Changfeng, and Yue Wuxia were rapidly approaching the Demon Emperor's place of slumber.

"Oh?"

Chen Pingping was shocked. "What is this?"

He looked up at the sky. How has it become so dark?

Beside him, Yu Changfeng, with a grave expression, uttered two words: "Demon cultivators."

"???"

Chen Pingping was stupefied.

"Pingping, let's not worry about that for now. I feel fluctuations in the Demon Emperor's aura—it's right ahead, that huge mountain... do you see it?" Yue Wuxia said excitedly.

Members of the Demon Race could sense the Demon Emperor's presence clearly.

In front of them was a towering mountain, standing straight and sharp like an unsheathed sword, poised to pierce the heavens.

Viewed from high above, one would see the surrounding mountain ranges all converging towards this Sword Mountain, forming a kind of 'strategic layout.'

It could also be understood as a deliberate arrangement.

The numerous mountains, like Dragon Veins, converged there one after another.

"Such potent Demon Aura..." Yu Changfeng said solemnly. "Little girl, are you sure the Demon Emperor has a piece of brass on him?"

He glanced sideways at her.

Yue Wuxia replied, "Of course! How could my mother possibly lie to me?"

Yu Changfeng said no more. He gritted his teeth and pressed forward, braving the mighty Emperor's oppressive might.

"Wait a minute..." Chen Pingping suddenly stopped.

The closer he got to the Demon Emperor, the calmer he became.

He felt an eerie, unsettling quality about this place; advancing rashly would likely lead to disaster.

His consciousness entered the interior of the Heaven Tao Stone, once again meeting the Blackhead Duck.

Upon seeing him, the duck cursed, "Damn you, Daoyan! I swear... Fuck! And you, you wretched Human Clan brat! Damn it, release me!"

It finally understood. Daoyan had handed the Heaven Tao Stone over to Chen Pingping. Which meant it wasn't Daoyan who had trapped it, but this bastard right here!

"Come with me!" Chen Pingping said with a grin.

"Screw off!"

"Then I'm leaving!"

"..."

The Blackhead Duck felt like crying but had no tears. "Wait, you can't do this!"

Chen Pingping narrowed his eyes. With a wave of his hand, he conjured a representation of the mountain layout within Dayan, then asked, "What kind of formation is this?"

"If I tell you, will you let me go?" the Blackhead Duck asked warily.

"Let's hear it."

"You have to promise me."

"Then I'm leaving..." Chen Pingping made to turn.

"Don't! Young man, we can make a deal. For instance... this layout is quite sophisticated. If you barge in without understanding anything, you're headed for certain death. But, if you release me, breaking it would be as easy as flipping your hand," it said, blinking its eyes.

"So?"

"The Eighteen Dragon Nurture Sword. That's a grand formation that normally only Emperor Realm powerhouses can establish," the Blackhead Duck explained hastily, seeing Chen Pingping's frown.

It was a little panicked.

After all, this bastard before it was now the master of the Heaven Tao Stone and could suppress it at any moment.

Whether for a hundred years or a thousand was entirely up to Chen Pingping's mood.

Without waiting for Chen Pingping to ask, the Blackhead Duck continued, "The Dragon Nurture Sword formation is usually found among the Demon Race. It's used to cultivate Bloodline Power and nurture Vast Sword Qi. This is a Supreme Sword Dao, surpassing anything in this world. It's not easy to break; it must be unraveled from within."

"How to unravel it?"

"Please, please release me! I promise I'll help you break this formation," the Blackhead Duck looked at him pitifully.

"Do you know One Qi Turns into Three Clarities?" Chen Pingping asked.

"???"

"To create a clone..." Chen Pingping said with a hint of a smile.

What layout, what grand formation... It was probably too late to learn these now. But if he let the Blackhead Duck out, the variables would be too great, and he didn't dare take the risk.

He had no choice but to opt for this solution: have it practice One Qi Turns into Three Clarities and allow a wisp of its clone to go out.

Of course, he wouldn't give it the complete One Qi Turns into Three Clarities. Otherwise, the Blackhead Duck could still escape the Heaven Tao Stone and become an uncontrollable entity.

The Blackhead Duck was a bit dumbfounded. "Let's hear it?"
