A loud explosion rang out as Suiren's Drill bored into the spine of the sword, causing the Demon Sword to burst into a ball of five-colored flames.

Suiren's Drill was an ancient treasure from primeval times and had been reforged by Shi Feiyang using the Three Emperors' Secret Technique, filled with a massive amount of Five Elements Essence Qi, making it almost invincible.

If faced head-on, the yet-to-be-completely-refined Demon Sword might have had a chance to stay intact, but being struck on its blade, it immediately broke into two pieces!

The broken pieces of the sword fell to the ground, with the Sword Spirit still inside; it let out a pitiful howl, pleading for help from its master, Xu Wan, to save it.

Xu Wan's mind was connected to it, and with that strike, he felt as if his waist and abdomen were exploding with gunpowder, the pain was unbearable, his mind was now completely overwhelmed by Devil Thoughts, and although Shi Feiyang sent him a message warning him to be cautious and preserve his life, he could not hear it at all, ignoring everything as he lunged forward, grabbing the broken sword and stabbing it into his own chest and abdomen.

The Demon Sword greedily drank his blood within his body, causing Xu Wan's physical form to quickly shrivel, his muscles visibly atrophying at a rapid pace, turning him into a severely emaciated bag of bones within a few breaths.

Gu Ying and his two companions gathered around, not expecting such an event to occur.

Poison Hand Mo Shen tentatively released the Seven Evil Demon Saber to chop at Xu Wan to see what would happen.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wan let out a sinister laugh, and suddenly, a red light burst forth from his mouth; the Demon Sword actually sprayed out of his mouth, sweeping horizontally, deflecting all the Seven Evil Demon Sabers, then slashing left and right, making a clean sweep, repelling the other two, before flying back into Xu Wan's mouth.

"Cackle..." He laughed strangely a few times, then his body leapt into the air, transforming into a streak of red light, and shot into the sky, like a Cultivator's Human Sword Unity.

"Quick, stop him!" Gu Ying yelled; the three brothers' swords flew out in unison to intercept, with a rainbow of sword light, knocking open Poison Hand Mo Shen's dark blade and flying outside the altar city, then swiftly turning back, floating like a skeleton in the air, their hands rapidly forming seals, casting several Taiyin Ghost Talismans, immediately causing the crumbling altar city to close inward, piling up into a small mountain of construction debris, steaming with thick Evil Qi, trapping the three Primordial Spirits inside.

By that point, not only had all of Xu Wan's spiritual energy and blood been absorbed by the Demon Sword, but even his Primordial Spirit had been sucked away and merged; the sword became the dominator, the person became the weapon!

Thanks to the Demon Tribulation, the Demon Sword couldn't fly far but reached a hill some tens of miles away, where sat the three Gu Ying brothers.

The Demon Sword set its sights on Gu Ying, who had the deepest Effort, and with Human Sword Unity, it transformed into a blood light and shot straight towards him.

What the three brothers had escaped with were their divided Primordial Spirits. They had all cultivated Three Corpse Incarnations and Seven Evil Incarnations, techniques different from housing a Second Primordial Spirit in an External Body; they still retained a primary consciousness, often used for escaping or casting, during which the Main Primordial Spirit had to concentrate and calm the mind, almost as if entering meditation.

While the three brothers' incarnations were trapped within the altar city by the Demon Sword, there was an urgent need to recall the Main Primordial Spirits, something they could not do quickly, and with the Demon Sword's lightning-fast approach, it plunged straight into Gu Ying's chest.

It was only thanks to Gu Ying's strong Mana that he was not totally absorbed by it; in a flash of lightning, his Main Primordial Spirit managed to escape outward, protected by a Magical Treasure.

The Demon Sword swept past his torso and, a hundred yards away, revealed Xu Wan's figure anew.

At this point, "Xu Wan" no longer resembled a skeleton; the withered muscles that had previously vanished had returned, his complexion was rosy, his skin fair, and even his body had grown taller, with his eyes sparkling with life.

Glancing at Gu Ying's fleshly body, it had become a broken, withered corpse, collapsing lifelessly onto the ground.

The Blood Rock Hermit and Poison Hand Mo Shen had only just recovered their wits when they leaped up from the ground and looked towards Gu Ying, "Brother!"

Gu Ying was enveloped in a dark aura; within the black mists, countless devils, large and small, were evident. His body merged with the dark aura, revealing only his upper body from the waist, as he ceaselessly clawed and howled outward.

Despite losing his physical form, he showed no anger or panic. Instead, he seemed pleased, "What a sword! What a sword! Only such a sword is worthy of my status as the ancestor of the Devil! Junior brothers, help me constrain it, we must capture it!"

Earlier, they had only split their Primordial Spirits, limiting their strength. Now that the original person was present, along with a body of Magical Treasures, his power was vastly different from before.

The three brothers formed a product-shaped arrangement around the Demon Sword as the focus, releasing blades, swords, tridents, arrows, bells, wheels, shuttles, beads, and other Magical Treasures in a relentless bombardment, attempting to subdue the Demon Sword and force its compliance!

At the same time that Xu Wan met his calamity, the White Bone God also encountered misfortune, struck down by Po Tou, a monk who had been hiding in West Kunlun Mountain for many years.

This Demon Monk was regarded as an ancient figure in the Demon Cults of both east and west, with a status higher than that of Wuxing Venerable, Poison Dragon Venerable's master Chi Li Lao Fu, and One Light Master, whom Shi Feiyang had eliminated. His mana was even greater!

In the past, he was also an elder to Deng Yin, competing with Deng Yin for the Blood God Scripture. Outwitted by Deng Yin, he failed to succeed and, after another duel with Deng Yin, was thoroughly defeated with the aid of the Stone God Palace Master. Furious beyond measure, he secluded himself deep within West Kunlun Mountain, merely over two thousand li from here, vowing not to emerge from seclusion until his grudge was avenged—a seclusion that lasted even longer than Deng Yin's imprisonment.

This time, he had set his sights on the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, acting directly to seize it. The White Bone God had no chance to fight back at all, having his fleshly body and divided Primordial Spirit taken away. His Primordial Spirit, soul, spiritual energy—all were harvested, preparing to create a set of White Bone Demons. The Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword proved difficult to take due to the division of the Primordial Spirit, and since the sword was connected to the Heavenly Demon, forcibly removing it would have meant bringing the Heavenly Demon along. Thus, he continued Sword Refining on the spot, using the shell of the White Bone God.

Shi Feiyang knew all about this very well. Before Po Tou Monk made his move, Shi Feiyang had sent a warning to the White Bone God, urging him to flee for his life.

The White Bone God already regretted refining the sword and wanted to leave, but he couldn't bear to abandon the sword and leave due to the call of the Demon Spirit within it. Hesitating for just a moment was enough to suffer a poisonous blow.

Shi Feiyang did not attempt to destroy the sword, nor did he intervene to stop anything; he simply continued sitting within his own domain, focusing all his energy on withstanding the onslaught of the Heavenly Demon's intention waterfall.

Deng Yin, gnashing his teeth beside his ear, said, "You knew that Po Tou Monk was coming, didn't you? He obtained the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword with your prior calculations, right? You knew he bore a grudge against me, allowing him to take the sword, so even if you had no choice but to release me, you could use him to check and balance me, correct? But do you realize that he is far more cruel and brutal than I am—a thousand, no, ten thousand times worse! When he finally goes out to wreak havoc, all the sins will be charged to you!"

Shi Feiyang paid him no mind.
