Talisman Emperor
Chapter 2109 The Dao Disaster Sword
Chi Qingying had led an army of several thousand Dao Defiants when she traveled to the Mist Forest, but she was the only top-tier expert in the Ninth Kingdom Region Realm.
Such an arrangement naturally seemed very strange.
As a Dao Challenger who had fought with the Divine Protector Clan for countless years, the, they were well aware that the Divine Dao Protector Clan would definitely send the strongest Region Lord of each clan to participate in the Dao Protector Battle.
In other words, there was no single existence under the Ninth Kingdom Region Realm among the powers of the Divine Dao Protective Clan.
But it was exactly under such circumstances that the great army of Chi Qingying did not have a second Ninth Star Region Lord other than her. This made the participants of the Divine Dao Protective Clan easily feel doubt and disgust towards the true power of the Dao Challenger.
What exactly did the Dao Challengers want to do?
Could it be that they thought that just Chi Qingying and a large group of weaklings would be enough to kill the Ninth Region Star Lord of the Dao Dao Protective Clan?
No one noticed this, and even to the extent that the participants from the Dao Dao Protective Clan who were moving through the forest were not even aware of Chi Qingying's existence.
…
Swooshes!
After he confirmed that there were no strange and mysterious trees around him, Chen Xi's figure flashed into the crown of the ancient tree, and then he held back his aura and hid himself.
Next, he pulled the enormous ‘Sarang Weird’ and examined it closely for a long time before he thought hard.
A while later, Chen Xi seemed to have made some sort of decision, and she removed the seal on it with a wave of her hand before she carefully stabbed the Talisman Armament into one of the holes.
Hissing!
There was an embryo-like thing inside this hole as well. As soon as it was opened by the Talisman Armament, a strange sound emerged from it, and it was like a sharp cry of pain.
After which, a gray strand of dirty energy stretched out and shot into the Talisman Armament.
Chen Xi did not stop him and observed silently. Unlike the rotten light rays from before that attacked him, this strand of rotten energy was clearly very weak, and it could only creep slowly in the Talisman Armament.
Although it was only a strange one, yet it emitted a savage and bloody aura that assaulted the face. Moreover, it even carried an evil and sinful energy. As soon as he started to creep on the Talisman Armament, it wriggled nonstop and emitted a very shocking corrosive strength.
Even the Talisman Armament which was a treasure that completely surpassed the most precious Spirit Realm Treasure could not actually avoid shaking and babbling a little.
Chen Xi stopped hesitating when witnessing this. A dazzling and glowing purple golden light coiled around his palm as he picked up the rotten energy in his hand.
It started to struggle violently and even emitted a sharp and ferocious hissing wave. It actually looked like it was alive and had intelligence.
Bang out!
Chen Xi exerted strength with her palm, and the rotten energy was smashed into pieces. However, it turned into several hundred more refined rays that shot out endlessly in all directions with the aim of fighting free from Chen Xi's grasp.
However, it was futile, in the end, and they were quickly destroyed completely.
Although he saw that the rotten energy was completely indestructible, Chen Xi could feel happiness in his heart. He had determined that it was a strange life form, and was still in its infancy. However, he had a very strong and tenacious life force.
Chen Xi had tried it now. He used sufficient strength to kill a Sixth Star Region Lord easily yet was only able to annihilate this little thing that was still in its infancy. So, it was clear how terrifying they were once they grew up.
Chen Xi thought for a moment before she started doing further tests with ‘Sarang Bizarre’, and she used a different method with each test she did.
For example, his soul energy, his strength in body refinement, talismans, and even the various different Divine Taoists.
However, he still had not discovered a single method to kill this strange creature even after he had killed more than half of it.
But as he continued his test, Chen Xi grew more and more convinced of one thing, and it was that these little things were still alive. They were still in their infancy and did not have enough strength to undergo the transformation.
On the other hand, it is ‘Weird’ Nest under the dark red ancient tree that nourishes them.
For example, this single nest that Chen Xi possessed nurtured 136 life forms like embryos!
Moreover, there were many similar dark red ancient trees throughout the forest, and this meant that more and more nests would be preserved. Once their numbers increased, the embryo-like life forms nurtured within them would multiply exponentially as well.
Based on such a conclusion, it must be a terrible number.
The only thing he felt lucky for was that these life forms needed enormous energy to complete their transformation and emerge from his lair, so that he restrained their ability to crowd en masse.
For example, the rotten ray of light that launched a surprise attack against Chen Xi earlier was one of the embryo-like life forms that had completed the transformation after absorbing the corpse of Executioner Sin.
Waitaminute! Soon, Chen Xi realized that something was wrong. Because he had exterminated dozens of Dao Defiants along the way, and there were even a few Regional Lords among them.
Since the corpses were scattered through the forest, they would definitely be absorbed by the Strange Nest!
That way, even more life forms within the nest would complete their transformation successfully.
A wisp of worry appeared in Chen Xi's heart as he thought up to this point.
Previously, he had continued to wonder why the Dao Defiants would be so weak after he annihilated them all so easily.
Now, he had a completely different understanding when he thought about it.
Once those embryos are transformed successfully, then they will become very malignant and resilient. Moreover, their attack methods were mysterious and ruthless while they themselves were extremely difficult to kill!
Dao Defiants are really ruthless. They were practically sacrificing themselves in order to gain even stronger power. The battle of the Dao Protectors that was conducted this time was really not as simple as the battles in the past…. Chen Xi even thought about how an equally mysterious and strange existence even existed outside of the forest, and it would definitely be an unimaginable disaster if they were used against the participants of the Dao Dao Protective Clan.
Of course, Chen Xi could not be bothered to care about their fate. All he was doing now was for the sake of getting used to his surroundings as soon as possible and reducing the danger they caused.
Most importantly, the knowledge he had gained from these strange events gave him a better idea of everything in the Fountain of Sin, he said, and he peered into the true secret of the Heaven Dao Order here.
After all, even though the Heaven Dao Order in the Spring of Sin was extremely evil and dark, it was still part of Heaven Godsbane in the end.
Thus, it would definitely be completely beneficial and harmless at all if Chen Xi obtained a better understanding of it.
…
As thoughts flashed through his heart, Chen Xi's hands did not slacken at all. There were more than 10 life forms inside the nest, and he still had some divine treasures he had yet to test against life forms like embryos.
Overarching Heaven Net was useless.
The Netherworld List was useless.
The Condemn Evil Brush was useless.
…
Clangs!
After a long time of investigating, when the ancient blood red sword appeared within Chen Xi's grasp, a mouthful of indescribable longing feeling instantly surged into Chen Xi's heart from the sword.
Pu's!
This feeling of longing was so intense and seething that it felt like the roar of desire coming from time immemorial. In an instant, the surface of the blood-red sword flashed with light, and then the last six life forms immediately disappeared as if they were evaporating into thin air.
All of this caught Chen Xi off guard, and she could not help but feel shocked and moved her gaze to the blood-red ancient sword in her hand.
The sword was over a meter long, deep red like blood, and its body was stamped with many simple and vibrant lotus flowers. Every single one of these lotus flowers had strands of chaotic energy floating around them. That energy sometimes turned into an old man wearing ancient clothes and a tall crown that read the scriptures while shaking his head; and sometimes it turns into a beautiful young woman who dances around while displaying sword techniques in a variety of different poses.
But if one looked carefully, then it was like being in a vast, terrifying, bloody battlefield. The gods roared furiously, the saints wept bitterly as a rain of blood descended from the heavens, and the earth was full of bones!
It was the Calamity Dao Sword!
The secret treasure that had been passed down by the Chaotic Divine Lotus, was inherited by the Nine Radiance Sword Sect in Dark Reverie, and was in joint possession of the Evil Lotus and Dao Lotus.
But a series of events caused it to fall into Chen Xi's hands.
This sword did not possess a certain level of quality, and its strength was even much lower than ordinary divine artifacts if used in direct combat. At most, it was equivalent to an Immortal Artifact.
It was precisely for this reason that Chen Xi kept this sword away and had not used it until now.
However, Chen Xi was very clearly aware that he had an unimaginable powerful ability to suppress members of the Sovereign Sect in battle!
It was the one thing that countered their strength because the calamity energy would be easily absorbed by this sword and converted into its own power.
According to rumors, this sword was the biggest reason why the Sovereign Sect conspired against the Chaotic Divine Lotus all those years ago when it set foot to the top of the Grand Dao and intended to search for the Supreme Road.
However, Chen Xi did not expect that it would actually act unusual at this moment!
If he was not mistaken, then the remaining six life forms had been snatched away by the sword.
Those facts were exactly as Chen XI thought. At this moment, the Calamity Dao Sword emitted waves of light howls. It seemed that cheering was an overwhelming pleasure, causing a terrifying and brilliant blood red light to flow and rustle all over his body.
Clearly, it had absorbed energy in six life forms!
Bang out!
After losing all life forms like embryos, the Strange Nest was as if it had lost all of its vitality and instantly turned into strength.
However, Chen Xi could not be bothered to pay attention to him. All his attention was fused to the Dao Calamity Sword in his hand, and he could clearly sense that the sword was emitting extreme emotions of longing and excitement.
There was no enormous reaction from the Dao Calamity Sword even when it was against the calamitous energy of the Sovereign Sect!
Could these strange embryo-like life forms be the source of energy this sword so desperately wanted?
Such thoughts had appeared in Chen Xi's mind while he had a deeper understanding of the secret that this treasure left behind by the Divine Lotus Chaotic.
Just like Fuxi, Xuan, the Divine Darkness Parasol Tree, the High Ants, and the three Netherworld Emperors, the Chaotic Divine Lotus was also the Savior of this era.
He was born into three-dimensional chaos and possessed supreme power. So, how could the treasures left behind by such a legendary figure become ordinary?
That's not at all unusual. At the very least, while his strength was not great and could not even be compared to Divine Artifacts, but he had a unique ability, and it was his ability to fight against the legacy of the Sovereign Sect!
