Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 539 - 469: Dragon Lock Great Blade!

Could it be...

A thick sense of unwillingness suddenly surged in his heart. Lord Wei turned his head sharply and immediately saw the young Daoist across from him, his hands forming a Daoist incantation, wearing a faintly mocking expression on his face.

Not good!

Fallen into a trap!

At the instant he sensed something amiss, Lord Wei instantly awakened all his might, raised his head and let out a long howl. The Extreme Dao Divine Might erupted solemnly, and from within his body, like a divine nest housing countless gods and demons, emerged ancient god and demon phantoms reaching the heavens and earth.

His eyes spewed divine light, Lord Wei pinched his fist imprint, as though seizing the wheel of heavens, striking horizontally with terrifying power to obliterate the void, aiming to slay Qi Xiu in one blow.

"Hahaha, realizing now, too late!"

Facing the formidable fist imprint from Lord Wei’s oppressive advance, Qi Xiu’s eyes gleamed with divine light, supremely glorious. Behind him, Hunyuan Daoist stepped out, wielding the Jade Ruyi shimmering with immaculate celestial light, with a flick of his hand, revealing void.

Four-colored talismans, suddenly appeared.

"Chubby one, it’s your time to shine."

Reaching into his sleeve robe, he grabbed the Little Ginseng Fruit who had been resting in the Universe in the Sleeve, looking amused, Qi Xiu spoke with a smile.

"Huh? Me? I can’t beat him!"

Turning his head to see the infinite might, seemingly about to destroy heaven and earth’s multitude, the Little Ginseng Fruit was terrified, waving his hands repeatedly, his head almost drawing back into his neck.

"No one asked you to fight him, just lend me your [Innate Earth Technique]."

Smiling and shaking his head, Qi Xiu expressed his demand.

"Lend? How do I lend it?"

Confusedly looking at Qi Xiu, the Little Ginseng Fruit shook his head.

"Relax your mind, just don’t resist. This concerns the life and death of us both, understand?"

Glancing at Lord Wei, whose killing intent was boundless, the Little Ginseng Fruit swallowed nervously. After a slight hesitation, he nodded.

Seeing the Little Ginseng Fruit agree, Qi Xiu smiled and rubbed his head:

"Smart choice."

After speaking, Qi Xiu glanced at his right hand, which had nearly healed halfway, his expression turned slightly solemn as he slowly clenched his palm, softly shouting:

"Command!"

"Qiankun Borrow Technique!"

Gold light wantonly spread across his palm, as Qi Xiu extended his five fingers, mysterious and brilliant light flowing over his hand, directly reaching into the body of the Little Ginseng Fruit.

"You..."

Seeing this situation, the Little Ginseng Fruit instinctively panicked, wanting to resist, but recalled Qi Xiu’s previous instructions and forced himself to endure.

In the next moment!

Qi Xiu’s hand exerted a slight force, pulling backward, directly extracting from the Little Ginseng Fruit’s body a dim jade pearl emanating a majestic ancient aura, containing a glimpse of vast earth.

With the jade pearl extracted, Qi Xiu waved and took the Little Ginseng Fruit back into the Universe in the Sleeve, then tilted his neck to swallow the jade pearl.

Spiritual Pearl ingested!

Qi Xiu groaned, a tremendously heavy aura enveloping all things, carrying the great multitude of the world burst forth from within him. Beneath his feet, a vast and ancient earth inexplicably appeared!

This jade pearl contained the Little Ginseng Fruit’s Innate Earth Technique.

Qi Xiu ingested this Spiritual Pearl, temporarily mastering this Dharma Gate!

"Hmm!?"

Sensing the sudden emergence of this aura within Qi Xiu, Lord Wei’s expression hardened slightly.

Innate Earth Technique?

How did he know it?

But even knowing the Innate Earth Technique, what good is it? Today, you are undoubtedly going to die!

Killing intent grew ever more intense. Lord Wei thrust his fist forward, and where the fist imprint passed, all heavens were annihilated, all eras faded to nothing. The roaring of gods and demons accompanied by supreme glory sought to cleanse and scourge the world.

"Alas, borrowed is ultimately borrowed.

Otherwise, being within the Dragon Execution Platform this time, I could directly embody the Dao of Five Elements, perhaps eliminating two great foes at once."

Temporarily mastering the Innate Earth Technique, Qi Xiu’s eyes revealed a hint of regret. The next second, he slowly folded his hands into his sleeve robe.

Behind him, Hunyuan Daoist extended his left hand, from the palm, the Five-Colored Divine Radiance flowed as one, mutually generating and countering, evolving into myriad forms.

Hum—

The void lightly trembled. From the four-colored talismans previously filling the heavens and earth, a fifth colored talisman emerged.

Gold!

Wood!

Water!

Fire!

Earth!

The Five Elements complete!

"Innate Five Dragons Sealing Technique!"

Qi Xiu softly exclaimed, like a lightning bolt breaking, instantaneously shattering the calm.

The Five Elements talismans between heaven and earth descended like a galaxy to the mortal realm, densely packed, shimmering with mysterious light.

With this soft shout echoing through the universe, these talismans seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, converging and merging!

As the talismans gathered, the outlines of five True Dragons gradually clarified, their bodies majestic with glittering dragon scales, fierce dragon heads, sharp dragon claws, containing endless majesty of heaven and earth.

Encircled by the five True Dragons, Qi Xiu’s face was serene, appearing supremely solemn and inviolable.

Extending a finger, the heavens roared!

The Five Elements True Dragons looked up to the sky and roared, suddenly transforming into five divine lights that instantly swept towards Lord Wei.

In an instant!

Five terrifying chains, as thick as those that tug at heaven and earth, locked Lord Wei’s limbs and head. The spectral images of five true dragons manifested on the chains, their vast divine might sealing heaven and earth, suppressing every inch of Lord Wei’s flesh, every wisp of his breath, every fraction of his cultivation, and even his every thought.

The seal formed by the Five Elements True Dragons firmly suppressed Lord Wei!

"Hm..."

With a light groan, the crack on Qi Xiu’s right hand once again backfired and spread upwards. Despite his steadfast temperament, the indescribable pain made him unable to hold back a groan.

"You have some skills, child, and the various means you’ve employed even amazed me.

This fiend suffering defeat at your hands is not unjust."

Seeing Qi Xiu use the Innate Five Dragons Sealing Technique to successfully suppress Lord Wei, the middle-aged man beside him smiled and spoke, praising Qi Xiu.

"Senior, you’re too kind. If it wasn’t for you buying me time, I would never have had the opportunity to master the Ninefold Golden Dragon."

Suppressing the pain in his right hand, Qi Xiu turned around and cupped his hands towards the middle-aged man in front of him.

The two exchanged a smile, a trace of shared cunning flashing in their eyes.

Indeed!

From the moment Lord Wei entered this Dragon Execution Platform, he had fallen into the trap set by the two of them.

The middle-aged man was not actually from the True Dragon Clan; his name was Ao Luo.

His true identity was one of the artifact spirits of this Dragon Execution Platform.

Before Lord Wei entered the Dragon Execution Platform, Qi Xiu had already reached an understanding with Ao Luo under the guise of the True Dragon Clan.

Ao Luo didn’t have the ability to directly eliminate Lord Wei. His only capability was to activate and close the forbidden martial divine peculiarities of the Dragon Execution Platform.

Yet, this ability allowed Lord Wei, who already had doubts about the True Dragon Ruins and suffered from information disparity, to reach the wrong conclusion and fall for their trap.

He mistakenly believed Ao Luo to be of the True Dragon Clan, thus falling into the snare devised by him and Qi Xiu.

"You mean the aura on top of the Punishment Hall is the Dragon Lock Great Blade?"

When he first entered the Dragon Execution Platform, Qi Xiu had learned from Ao Luo the true appearance of that terrifying aura on top of the Punishment Hall.

Upon further reflection, it indeed seemed logical; this was the Punishment Hall, the Dragon Execution Platform was here, so naturally the Dragon Lock Great Blade was too.

"Yes, but that isn’t the real Dragon Lock Great Blade; it’s a projection.

The real Dragon Lock Great Blade was taken away by the Punishment Venerable during the Primordial Era to deal with some unknown enemy.

Only a projection of the Dragon Lock Great Blade was left behind to suppress the entire Punishment Hall.

But even a projection, with your current cultivation level, is impossible for you to take away, let alone wield."

When Qi Xiu expressed his desire to use the Dragon Execution Platform’s strength to eliminate Lord Wei, Ao Luo shook his head.

He was merely one of the many artifact spirits of the Dragon Execution Platform.

The Dragon Execution Platform, a colossal magical treasure comparable in quality to the Nine Heavens Shenxiao Thunder City of the Shenxiao Sect, was a divine artifact-level existence.

The entire Dragon Execution Platform housed eighteen artifact spirits.

He was just one of them.

The divine peculiarity he controlled was solely the forbidden martial divine peculiarity of the Dragon Execution Platform.

All other artifact spirits of the Dragon Execution Platform were in slumber, and it was impossible for Qi Xiu, with his current power, to awaken them; at least a Primordial Spirit True Honor would be necessary for that.

However, to address Qi Xiu’s request, Ao Luo proposed an alternative solution.

"Although you currently lack the ability to wield the complete Dragon Lock Great Blade.

If you can master the Ninefold Golden Dragon technique, and when you are attacked on the Dragon Execution Platform, I can permit you to draw a strand of the Dragon Lock Great Blade’s power to counterattack using the True Dragon regulations.

That way, you can cut down that old nemesis!"

But because once Ao Luo activated the Dragon Execution Platform’s forbidden martial divine peculiarity, all beings on the Dragon Execution Platform would be barred from channeling any power, thereby unable to cultivate.

Therefore, Ao Luo devised a scheme with Qi Xiu to buy time for him to practice the Ninefold Golden Dragon.

Qi Xiu would intentionally expose himself to lure Lord Wei to attack, triggering the forbidden martial divine peculiarity, causing mental turmoil. Then, Ao Luo would appear, pretending to be of the True Dragon Clan, leaving Lord Wei with no room for doubt, deftly leading him into a gamble.

They successfully bought Qi Xiu the time needed to cultivate the Ninefold Golden Dragon.

Now, Qi Xiu used the Innate Five Dragons Sealing Technique embedded within the ’Ninefold Golden Dragon’ by Ao Luo to temporarily seal Lord Wei.

Next, he’s set to absorb a thread of sabre energy from the Dragon Lock Great Blade.

To once and for all eliminate that Middle Ancient Demonic True Lord!

"Remember, the sabre energy of the Dragon Lock Great Blade is intensely terrifying; even the slightest contact will shatter both spirit and body.

You must envelop it with Golden Dragon True Qi to utilize it.

I now grant you access to the Dragon Lock Great Blade, but do not draw more than necessary, or else you won’t be able to control it and will only bring harm to yourself."

After cautioning Qi Xiu a few times, Ao Luo extended his hand, and a spiritual light swiftly entered Qi Xiu’s forehead.

In an instant, a shroud of mist suddenly enveloped Qi Xiu’s vision, an indifferent and icy vast oppression suddenly bore down, akin to the suffocating feeling of plummeting into freezing waters, causing his spirit to tremble involuntarily.

Forcibly enduring the intense discomfort, he cleared the mist in front of him.

A Dragon Lock Great Blade spanned the sky, with its blade stretching endlessly, reflecting the heavens.

The dragon patterns engraved on the blade were vividly lifelike, seemingly growling, as if they wished to break out of the blade and showcase their boundless might.

This great blade hung quietly in void, yet it seemed to possess the power to sever heaven and earth, to shatter all things.

It made no sound, but its terrifying oppression silently spread outward.

Even though it simply lay silently there, it radiated a pressure that made all heavens and vast epochs, all beings, tremble in fear.

Gazing upon this incredibly daunting blade before him, the True Dragon Mark deep within Qi Xiu’s spirit trembled violently, as if it had seen its nemesis.

"This is... the Dragon Lock Great Blade!"
