East Sea Three Immortals knew that Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor's destined time had not yet ended, and there were still some years to the third time of their swordfighting duel. The main purpose of their visit today was to destroy the Demon Sword.

They were also very anxious, as they had been entangled in a three-way attack for so long without taking down any of the three altar cities outside, and had not yet reached the fiercest of the Nine Demon Swords inside.

The three immortals collaborated to send Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor's Demon Sword into the sky, where it was attacked by myriad thunderbolts.

Master You Tan, from afar, wrapped Shi Feiyang's previously thrown Thunder ball in Buddha Light and forcibly took it away. At this moment, it retaliated, with Buddha Light and thunder striking together against the hanging Immortal Slaying Sword in the air.

The light ball that erupted this time was more dazzling than any previous one; the sword itself was already being massively bombarded by Celestial Thunder and was simultaneously receiving such a strong attack. Especially, Master You Tan's Buddha Light had a restraining effect on demons. If it had been White Bone God and Xu Wan handling it, just this attack could have destroyed them and their swords!

But Chi You's Primordial Spirit was after all extraordinary, even just a third of it was unmatched by the Primordial Spirits of ordinary cultivators. The sword was refined with Chi You's blood, making its quality even superior to the several swords of Shi Feiyang, thus it barely survived the severe damage. Inside, the sword demon roared with anger, as Emperor Chi You, from on high, forcefully drew in Qi Shuming's Essence Blood.

Qi Shuming used his own Primordial Spirit as bait to lure the sword demon. Their energies resonated, which was a divine connection. His actions were indeed perilous and overconfident, underestimating the fierceness of this Demon Sword.

He only heard a roar from Ancient Times inside his mind, followed by his entire Essence Blood and Primordial Qi being sucked away, feeling as if his skull was being peeled off by invisible forces, his Soul and Primordial Spirit about to be drawn out in one move!

This Emei Sect Leader groaned in pain, swiftly formed an Immortal Technique with his left hand to stabilize his mind and concentrate, integrating Divine Energy to prevent being drawn away. Simultaneously, his right hand cast a spell, using the Invisible Sword Energy from Taicing Mysterious Sect to forcibly sever his connective interaction with the Demon Sword.

His body drifted backward a hundred feet, breaking out in cold sweat, and he exclaimed, "How formidable!"

At this moment, Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor bit his tongue's tip, stepped in the Gang Step, and sprayed more Essence Blood into the air. He formed Seals with both hands, sending the Chaos Divine Mist he had refined into the demon Sword in the form of talismans.

This was the Seventy-Two Spiritual Formulas from the "Chi You Three Disks Scripture," most compatible with the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword refined by Chi You's Primordial Spirit.

Enriched by these Seventy-Two Divine Beast Spiritual Formulas, the sword demon issued another heart-shaking roar, bursting from within with a sphere of Demon Light, astonishingly pushing away the constant hitting Celestial Thunder, then the sword body spun downward, its tip emitting streaks of Immortal Slaying Demon Light.

The Ascetic Monk was using Buddha Light to create ancient Buddha avatars to attack Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor. The Demon Light Sword Evil slashed down, beheading and bisecting each ancient Buddha avatar in succession, cutting them to shreds!

Xuan Zhenzi was about to join the attack, but his Invisible Sword Energy was all blocked by the Five-Colored Smoke Mist, augmented by the Five Mountains True Forms, used by Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor.

This magical duel was extremely perilous, both sides being shocked by the exponentially increased strength of the opponent.

Master You Tan, witnessing this scene from afar, also expressed her astonishment, "This Demon Sword is already so fierce before being fully refined! If it survives this tribulation, who can control it in the future?"

She summoned her three disciples to aid in the attack, and sent a pair of Demon Suppression Thunder Sound Cymbals over.

The cymbals, with their launch, produced a Golden Light Thunderbolt Lightning, emitting an ear-piercing, teeth-grating sound of cymbals mingled with thunder, a stream of electric light struck directly, cutting horizontally across the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword amidst the Thunder Light, adding a great mass of Demon-suppressing Buddha Light and Golden Buddha Fire wildly fluttering about.

Now, the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword truly sustained damage. The sword wanted to flee, but there was no escape, held by the Thunder, bombarded incessantly while hanging in the air.

It finally realized, vast as heaven and earth were, it had no place to stay, the only refuge to avoid utter destruction was to return to Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor.

But it couldn't descend, locked by the Thunder, being wildly bombarded, with the pair of Demon Suppression Thunder Sound Cymbals continuously circling and orbiting around the sword body, slicing and attacking repeatedly, each time exploding with large amounts of Buddha Light and Buddha Fire.

Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor felt the "intimacy" of the sword demon, and for a moment, was slightly taken aback.

He had originally promised to help Chi You resurrect, but used his Primordial Spirit for refining the sword. Chi You had always maintained a high and mighty attitude, not only unruly but also trying to control him in return, and if unable to control, it attempted to flee.

Only at this moment did Chi You display a desire to face these Heavenly and Human Tribulations together with Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor.

Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor also sensed that the Demon Sword was already damaged, and if this continued, it wouldn't take the time span of a meal for it to completely disintegrate. He also began to desperately act, taking out another Treasure, the Five Fire Flying Dragon Bell, which he sent into the air. Five fire dragons flew out from the bell, and he also spurted a stream of Essence Blood, attempting to call the Demon Sword down.

Seeing this, the Ascetic Monk recognized the gravity of the situation and hurriedly summoned the Silent Annihilation Divine Bell he had refined over the years in the East Sea.

This Silent Annihilation Divine Bell, forged with great Buddhist techniques, made all sounds disappear unlike other bell treasures which attacked using sound waves.

As soon as the bell appeared, all sounds ceased, starting with Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor's Five Fire Flying Dragon Bell. No matter how it vibrated, even when Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor raised his hand to strike lightning, countless thunderbolts striking on it, and numerous spiritual talismans hitting it, the bell did not emit a single sound, and even the five fire dragons were suppressed, becoming smaller and slowly retracting back into the bell.

Besides the sound of bells, the intensely dense thunder in the sky also vanished, noises of furious roars, treasure explosions… all sounds disappeared.

Everyone felt as if they had gone deaf, unable to hear anything!

Members of the Wutai Sect watched the Ascetic Monk in terror; they saw him hovering in the air, his body surrounded by golden light, standing like a Demon-suppressing Arhat, a Buddha come to earth, his hands forming seals, his face showing a dignified, benevolent expression as if liberating all beings.

A Golden Bell floated before him in the air, continuously erupting rings of golden radiance from this center, seemingly purifying this dirty, violent world of Five Turbid Evils…

In that instant, disciples from Wutai, Taiyin, and White Bone Three Sects, many developed a longing, feeling their current learnings were misguided. They thought they should reveal their repentance and convert to Buddha.

Shi Feiyang sat on the central Dharma Platform and witnessed this scene. He then cast Suiren's Drill again.

A rainbow light shot forth and struck the Silent Annihilation Divine Bell.

Silently, the Divine Bell burst into a mass of golden light, radiating copious brilliance...

After a few breaths, the sound of the earth-shattering thunder returned, and the silent world was filled with sound again!

Shi Feiyang used Suiren's Drill to shatter the Silent Annihilation Divine Bell, then cast a spell to make it turn around and fly towards the side of the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, aiming at a piece of Demon Suppression Thunder Sound Cymbals and drilled into it.

With a harsh, grating "clang" sound, the Demon Suppression Thunder Sound Cymbals shattered into a burst of golden radiance.

"Great malevolence!" Master You Tan, seeing her mountain treasure destroyed, furrowed her brow and raised her hand, launching a golden beam of light toward Suiren's Drill.

Shi Feiyang was about to destroy another piece of Demon Suppression Thunder Sound Cymbals with Suiren's Drill when Master You Tan's Separation and Reunion Divine Light shone over, ensnaring and forcefully pulling back the drill.

Buddhist masters generally do not need any Magical Treasures; the Buddha Light alone suffices for offense and defense, for seizing treasures, slaying demons, killing or saving lives—it accomplished everything flawlessly. Employing other Flying Sword Magical Treasures would diminish the effect and even be cumbersome. Holding a weapon was contrary to the compassionate image of an eminent Buddhist.

Previously, Master You Tan had used the Separation and Reunion Divine Light to take away Sikong Zhan's Minor Twelve Heavenly Secret Demon Yin Thunder. This time, she aimed to forcefully take Suiren's Drill.

With his left hand, Shi Feiyang emitted Five-Colored Divine Light, making contact with the Separation and Reunion Divine Light, and the two clung and wrestled with each other.

Being less experienced in cultivation compared to Master You Tan, Shi Feiyang couldn't match her in this direct contest of power, only managing to slightly slow the rate at which Buddha Light was being reclaimed.

Shi Feiyang cried out softly, flicked his wrist with his left hand, changed hand seals, and then with a finger point in the air, the Five-Colored Divine Light flew out and formed a globe, which in an instant turned into three hundred sixty-five pieces of Five Elements Divine Thunder, exploding thunderously!

Each individual Five Elements Divine Thunder had limited power, but when all five elements operated together—metal generating water, water generating wood, wood generating fire, fire generating earth, and earth generating metal—their mutual enhancement greatly increased the power, causing a sudden explosion.

Suiren's Drill also aimed at Master You Tan and shot out a spark. In an instant, it transformed into a lightning-like streak of fire, piercing through the light column formed by the Separation and Reunion Divine Light and striking straight at Master You Tan's chest.

"Malevolent beast!" Master You Tan formed hand seals, and a golden Buddha Light Lotus appeared in front of her chest.

With a "snap!" the Golden Lotus exploded into pieces!

Seizing the opportunity, Shi Feiyang called back Suiren's Drill and, on its return path, fiercely struck another piece of Demon Suppression Thunder Sound Cymbals, blasting it into a burst of golden light.

Master You Tan's Golden Lotus carried her backward several dozen feet to regain stability, but seeing her Magical Treasure destroyed left her in some disarray.

She hadn't been put in such a position for centuries...

During the Southern Song dynasty, when other cultivators were just beginning their journeys, she was already a renowned Divine Nun. It was during the late Song and early Yuan periods that she used Buddhist Law to seal Deng Bagu and Chen Yufeng. At that time, Yi Xiu had just overcome his first near 500-year Independent Immortal's extreme tribulation!

Today, she had not intended to participate in a duel. She simply wanted to destroy the Twelve Demon Swords and take away weapons of mass destruction like the Minor Twelve Heavenly Secret Demon Divine Thunder—even guarding against Shi Feiyang deploying the Secret Demon Divine Shuttle and intimidating the demons of West Kunlun from making rash moves.

Unexpectedly, Shi Feiyang destroyed her mountain treasure and even gained a slight upper hand in the duel!

It would be completely unseemly for her to directly enter the fray and engage in a magical duel herself, especially since she had already given her Nine Heavenly Dragon Demon Suppressing Swords to her closed-door disciple, Qi Xia'er.

Holding her status in high regard, she summoned Yang Jin to return.

Yang Jin was a disciple of Master Fen Tuo, a formidable Divine Nun herself. When Yang Jin's former incarnation, Ling Xuehong, entered nirvana at Guiyuan Temple, Master You Tan took her Primordial Spirit at Master Fen Tuo's request to be reincarnated, hence they shared a special closeness.

Yang Jin, who was dueling with a robe-clad Daoist from the Wutai Sect, heard the summons, promptly disengaged from the fight, and flew to the Lotus Platform below.

Master You Tan told her, "Stay here and perform Heavenly Dragon Zen. I'll empower you!"

Although Yang Jin did not understand why, she immediately did as told, sat cross-legged, and started to perform Heavenly Dragon Zen Skill.

Having cultivated over two lifetimes, she had built a strong foundation and quickly entered the state. A layer of Buddha Light emerged from within her and enveloped her completely.

Master You Tan formed hand seals and shot a golden beam of light toward her. In the next moment, the Buddha Light around Yang Jin abruptly surged powerfully, inflating like blown air, reaching the skies above and covering the earth below. The sky turned gold, and the Star Constellations Sea also turned golden as the tide-like Buddha Light surged forward, transforming into a golden ocean that submerged the four altar cities.

Moreover, a vast number of beings from the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions appeared amid the Buddha Light: celestial beings, Asuras, Nagas, Garudas, Yakshas, Jin Naluos, Gandharvas, and Mahoragas all manifested!

With this display of Heavenly Dragon Zen Skill, had Yang Jin used it alone, it would've been limited in power, and not even a single Dragon Heaven Protector would have appeared. However, with Master You Tan's empowerment, all were present, and many Dharma Protectors rushed to assist. The Five Directions and Protector Kalas were all summoned here, and in that moment, countless non-human creatures densely packed and swarmed amid the Buddha Light.

Seeing this spectacle, not only did the disciples of the Three Sects feel chilled to the marrow, but even the Sect Hierarchs, Bai Gu Shenjun and Xu Wan, felt that their end had come today!
