"Old man, it seems your soul is about to dissipate."

"Why not save your strength and let me swallow you, transforming into a Purple-Robed Ghost Tamer?"

"This way you won't return to the heavens and earth and can live another life."

"I will grant you eternal life, subordinate to my position."

The words of the Evil Dragon Vein did not gain the approval of the old Celestial Master.

Instead, he performed a sealing gesture with both hands, and sixty-four Myriad Dragon Slashes flew directly from the ground into the air, transforming into a ferocious Divine Dragon.

"Evil Dragon Vein, I would rather return to the heavens and earth than become your lackey."

"Indeed, my soul is about to dissipate, and the Dragon-Slaying Array will soon be broken, but before I go, I will send you away."

At this moment, the old Celestial Master stepped forward and grasped the Tai Chi Yin Yang Sword.

The sword had endured for a millennium yet remained as pristine as new.

The Evil Dragon Vein looked at this Taoist sword with some trepidation.

"Divine Dragon, heed my command. The thirty-three Celestial Lords of Taoism enter my body, and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder takes me as its guide to exterminate evil and eradicate wickedness!"

The old Celestial Master's unbound white hair was scattered by a sudden gale, revealing a face full of time's vicissitudes.

A deep scar lay at the center of his brow. He finally gripped the Tai Chi Yin Yang Sword, engraved with spells, with his right hand. His eyelids suddenly lifted, and two red lights burst from his dark abyss-like eyes.

"Evil Dragon Vein, back then, the heavens held a benevolent virtue for life. The birth of a Dragon Vein was incredibly difficult, not to mention one with consciousness, so I could not bear to kill you."

"I offered myself as a sacrifice, hoping to reform you over a thousand years through compassion."

"But I didn't anticipate, I failed; your evil nature is already intertwined with the soul, impossible to separate."

"However, to guard against this day, I had long prepared a contingency."

As the Myriad Dragon Slash soared into the sky, a chain-breaking sound came from deep underground, causing severe vibrations on the ground, known as the earth dragon turning over.

The hundred-foot rock wall behind collapsed with a rumble, revealing a sacrificial stele embedded with Dragon Scales. The inscriptions on the stele rapidly turned to dark purple with the speed visible to the naked eye.

Engravings of the Four Symbols were carved on the stele, each representing the four aspects of heaven and earth.

The Four Symbols Grand Array unleashed golden-lit chains, sinking into the earth, seeking to entrap the Evil Dragon Vein here.

Majestic thunder and lightning entwined themselves, aiming to completely annihilate the Evil Dragon Vein here.

"Old geezer, you really were well-prepared?"

"Four Spirits Evil Extermination Array?"

"If I were freshly sealed, I might indeed have my consciousness obliterated by the Four Spirits Evil Extermination Array."

"But over a thousand years, I secretly absorbed the grievances and corpse energy of a million corpse soldiers."

"I am no longer the same as before."

Wave after wave of Yin Qi flowed into the Sharp Claw of the Evil Dragon Vein.

Its Sharp Claw was instantly covered with purple fur.

"Thunder God, come! Exterminate evil and destroy wickedness! Nine Heavens Divine Thunder summon!"

The phantom of the Thunder God appeared in midair.

The Evil Dragon Vein could feel the world-shattering power within the Thunder God's phantom.

Its eyes revealed a look of dread.

"Old fellow, I underestimated you, didn't expect you had this card."

The Evil Dragon Vein said through clenched teeth, filled with hatred to swallow the soul of the old Celestial Master and let the bone fire nurtured for a millennium consume it.

"This time, it seems I'll have to use my source."

"Old fellow, if I survive the Thunder God's assault, I will not let you go."

At that moment, the Thunder God's phantom channeled all its power into the ethereal Purple Thunder Hammer.

The firmament erupted with a thunderstorm vortex, and azure-purple plasma, wrapped in the phantom of the Kui Ox, cascaded down.

The Evil Dragon Vein enveloped in decayed earth miasma, with a million corpse soldiers, burst through the earth's crust, deeply inhaled, and spewed a white bone flame corroding the celestial light.

Its crimson vertical pupils reflected the descending Furious Thunder.

The emerging million corpse soldiers surged like a tide, shielding the Evil Dragon Vein upfront.

These corpse soldiers, birthed from Dragon Qi and growing Dragon Scales, were like paper against the Furious Thunder, effortlessly split into streams of azure smoke.

In just a blink, more than half of the million corpse soldiers vanished.

The Evil Dragon Vein had no time to lament.

It vaguely sensed a bad omen that if Thunder God's attack couldn't be resisted, it would perish.

The old Celestial Master's figure became increasingly illusory, he endured the soul's discomfort, continuing the summoning for Thunder God's fatal strike.

An electric spear several times larger than the previous one was hurled from high above.

The pupils of the Evil Dragon Vein reflected blue lightning.

Its body was struck squarely by the Furious Thunder, forcefully pierced into the Evil Dragon's life vein, sending countless particles of dust skyward.

The Evil Dragon Vein let out a deafening wail.

When the smoke cleared, the Evil Dragon Vein had been blasted in half, with the remaining portion successfully shielded by the million corpse soldiers.

The Celestial Master's soul had become much more ethereal, and he let out a long sigh.

"Fate, all this is fate."

"My soul is about to fade away, yet I cannot utterly destroy you."

"After this battle, even the Myriad Dragon Slash is gravely wounded."

As the Celestial Master mused, the Ancient Bronze Sword, accompanied by the seven Myriad Dragon Slashes, surged into the Sword Array.

"What is that?"

The Celestial Master's pitch black pupils instantly widened.

"Is this the Dustless Sword?"

"Isn't this the sword of our sect's second generation ancestor, how could it appear here in this place?"

The Ancient Bronze Sword absorbed the shattered Myriad Dragon Slash into its body.

It swung out a bronze arc of light.

The body of the Evil Dragon Vein was completely split in two by the Ancient Bronze Sword.

The dying Dragon Vein spewed out foul blood, soaked in the Nine Netherworld, intending to use this filth to awaken the purple zombie from slumber.

The purple zombie is what the Evil Dragon Vein selected from suitable humans or Exotic Beasts, cultivated with many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, refined to become impervious to blades or fire and water.

This was the last resort of the Evil Dragon Vein.

Malignant energy overflowed, provoking the Thunder God.

The silhouette of the Thunder God appeared again, with twelve thunders coiling in the air behind him.

"Good, a new Myriad Dragon Slash."

"Now I can rest assured."

"Evil Dragon Vein, I didn't expect it would be me to send you to the afterlife."

"Dustless Sword come!"

The Ancient Bronze Sword transformed into a streak of light, merging into the hand of the Celestial Master.

The Celestial Master stood solemnly at the altar's center, gripping the Dustless Sword tightly in his right hand, chanting incantations.

His soul began to flicker in and out, clearly indicating that the Celestial Master's end was near.

The bronze sword's body mirrored seven sinuous dragon patterns, each dragon eye glimmering with dark golden light.

At this moment, the Celestial Master infused all his spiritual power into the Dustless Sword.

The Myriad Dragon Slashes, previously floating in the air, converged into streams of light, surging into it.

Waves of Dragon's Roar echoed from the blade of the Dustless Sword. At this moment, the Celestial Master sacrificed himself, merging all the dragon souls of the Myriad Dragon Slash into the blade of the Dustless Sword.

Even the Tai Chi Yin Yang Sword willingly fused with the Dustless Sword.

Seventy-one dragon patterns appeared on the blade. At this moment, the Celestial Master caressed the cold blade, lamenting slightly, "Still lacking a bit, if you could gather a hundred dragon patterns, you could achieve your final transformation."

"But it doesn't matter, as long as the Evil Dragon Vein is slain, the blade will gain a few more dragon patterns."

The Evil Dragon Vein's alarms rang loud, and a foreboding premonition struck it.

It would die, it would die here.

"Celestial Master, do you really want to put me to death?"

"I am the Dragon Vein of a nation!"

The Evil Dragon Vein let out a piercing howl, with a tremor in its tone.

"Evil Dragon Vein, I have given you many chances."

The Celestial Master burned the last of his soul, urging the Dustless Sword to deliver the final strike.

"Dustless Sword, if possible, your future name shall be the Tai Chi Dustless Sword."

"Young one, I know you have now awakened your consciousness."

"Please continue to guard this great and beautiful land."

The Celestial Master used his own spiritual power to draw the final command seal in the air, bringing forth a deafening Dragon's Roar from the Tai Chi Dustless Sword.

He completely dissipated into the air.

No one knew his name, nor did anyone know his life's deeds.

They only knew him as the Celestial Master, the revered and esteemed Celestial Master.

In the Four Symbols Seal beneath the ground, the crimson slits of the Evil Dragon Vein's eyes suddenly contracted, and the chains emitting golden light snapped one by one under its violent struggle.

But it was already too late to stop the Tai Chi Dustless Sword.

Seven sword shadows descended from the air, forming a Beidou formation around it, which was the Beidou Seven Stars Exorcism Array.

The seven sword shadows struck heavily upon the body of the Evil Dragon Vein, causing a torrent of foul-smelling blood to gush out from the ground.

Bloody patterns spread madly across the altar floor, with seven sword shadows simultaneously stabbing into its vital point at its spine.

The ancient sword, piercing through the dragon's body, began to grow bronze chains in reverse, pulling the roaring Evil Dragon Vein back into the depths of the Earth Vein, suppressing it completely.

This time the Evil Dragon Vein was gravely injured, no longer able to breach the Four Symbols Grand Array.

The Celestial Master ultimately held back, sparing the Evil Dragon Vein once more.
