When this slash fell, Blade Demon was left in a state of shock.
Since the day he began guarding the Blade Mountain, he had been the only one capable of resonating with it.
These blades obeyed only the command of the sovereign of blades.
What Blade Demon never expected was that Xu Zimo’s understanding of the Dao of Blade had reached such a terrifying level as well.
“Kill,” Xu Zimo said, as this slash continued to press forward.
The imnse pressure and sharpness made the entire Blade Mountain seem on the verge of collapse.
This slash did not contain only Xu Zimo’s own power. It was linked to every single blade in the entire Blade Mountain.
“Impossible to resist,” was Blade Demon’s first realization.
He knew that barring a miracle, this slash would certainly kill him.
“I devoted my entire life to blades, entered madness through the blade, and in the end, I still die by the blade.”
Blade Demon laughed wildly.
Such an ending seed fitting. Born by the blade, dying by the blade.
“Even if I die, I must fight with all my strength rather than sit and wait for death.”
With that, Blade Demon gripped his domineering blade and advanced instead of retreating, charging straight into Xu Zimo’s blade light.
This was nothing short of a mantis trying to stop a chariot, an act of utter overestimation.
But for Blade Demon, life or death was not what mattered. What mattered was how he would die.
Boom.
First, the long blade in Blade Demon’s hand shattered into two pieces.
Within that vast and boundless river of blade light, countless cracks appeared across Blade Demon’s body.
They were dense and horrifying to behold.
With another explosive roar, Blade Demon and the Blade Mountain were completely annihilated within it.
The earth trembled. Heaven and earth overturned.
When Prison Lord Ming looked up again, the Blade Mountain had already been flattened by that overwhelming power.
This was a truly terrifying sight.
Although Prison Lord Ming knew that relying on the Blade Mountain and Fla Sea to stop Xu Zimo was almost impossible, and that the real obstacle lay with the Four Ultimate Death Gods, he still had not expected Blade Demon to lose so quickly.
He had been killed almost instantly, slain by a single strike.
“In the end, he was not a true Infinite Dao cultivator,” Prison Lord Ming sighed and shook his head.
“Even if one barely fights by relying on terrain, once that terrain is turned against them, death is inevitable.”
Prison Lord Ming looked at Xu Zimo and shook his head again.
In his eyes, Xu Zimo was also already a dead man.
To dare to annihilate the Blade Mountain like this, Xu Zimo would certainly be hunted down by the Mirage Tides Heaven.
Even the Heavenly Court would not do such a thing unless absolutely necessary.
In the Nine Heavens, the Heavenly Court was universally acknowledged as the most powerful force.
Prison Lord Ming said nothing further. He simply ford hand seals, and sothing shaped like an arrow shot into the sky.
It exploded directly in the void.
Xu Zimo turned to look at Prison Lord Ming.
Before he could ask anything, Prison Lord Ming spoke first.
“This is a warning arrow. Once it rises, the entire Mirage Tides Heaven will be alerted that soone is attacking the inner domain.”
Prison Lord Ming spoke frankly.
This was an open act of tipping off the enemy.
He faced Xu Zimo directly, without fear of being killed.
The situation in the Mirage Tides Heaven was far too complex. Whether Prison Lord Ming or the others of the domain, they were not truly living beings.
They were spirit entities.
Such spirit entities could be revived after being killed.
Of course, the right to revive them rested in the hands of the true master of the Mirage Tides Heaven, the Lord of Death.
If any spirit entity dared to offend the Lord of Death, it would truly be a fate worse than death.
Even dying would require the Lord of Death’s permission.
Conversely, if one earned the Lord of Death’s favor, even after being killed, revival was possible.
However, revival ca at a price, and for ordinary spirit entities, the Lord of Death would not bother intervening.
That was why Prison Lord Ming had feared Xu Zimo at first and brought him into the inner domain.
He did not want to die, because he could not be certain that the Lord of Death would revive him.
He had brought Xu Zimo to the Blade Mountain hoping that its people would send a warning to the inner domain.
That would have been the best outco.
He would neither offend Xu Zimo nor bear responsibility.
But he never expected the Blade Mountain to be so weak, to be flattened by Xu Zimo in a single strike.
Left with no other choice, Prison Lord Ming had to send the warning himself. This was the worst option.
If he failed to report this, he would truly anger the Lord of Death, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
He feared Xu Zimo, but he feared the Lord of Death even more.
Thus, at this mont, Prison Lord Ming looked at Xu Zimo and smiled.
“I calmly accept my own death.”
“Who said I was going to kill you?” Xu Zimo said with a faint smile.
That sentence stunned Prison Lord Ming.
“I think you may have misunderstood,” Xu Zimo said as he put away Shadow Tyrant and looked into the distance.
The sky there was blood-red, likely the location of the Blood Sea.
“Do you think I ca to the Mirage Tides Heaven to sneak around, to secretly smuggle myself to Jade Court? You’re wrong. I ca openly and without concealnt. I never intended to hide my tracks. At worst, I’ll just cause a massive upheaval in the Mirage Tides Heaven today. I’d actually welco it growing bigger and bigger. I happen to want to et your Lord of Death. As for whether you live or die, we’ll decide that after I et him.”
Xu Zimo made it clear.
If he could reach an agreent with the Lord of Death, then everything could be discussed.
If talks broke down, Prison Lord Ming would certainly be killed.
“Let’s go. To the Fla Sea,” Xu Zimo said, waving his hand as he took the lead and stepped forward through the air.
He left behind a stunned Prison Lord Ming.
Watching Xu Zimo’s retreating figure, Prison Lord Ming suddenly realized he could not understand him at all.
Did this man truly dare to fight an entire domain alone?
The Fla Sea.
Just as its na suggested, this was a world of flas.
And not ordinary flas.
White flas shone like light itself, illuminating everything before them.
This was the entrance to the inner domain.
In their field of vision was a wide and unfathomable passage.
At the end of the passage, nothing could be seen clearly. Only blinding, scorching light engulfed everything.
Flas burned.
Nothing was left unburned. Nothing was left unignited.
Even the air itself seed like fuel.
The flas were sentient. Within the white Fla Sea, flas would sotis take the form of the Four Sacred Beasts.
At other tis, they transford into ancient ferocious beasts, or even into blades, spears, staffs, and weapons of all kinds.
When Xu Zimo arrived, the Fla Sea had already received the warning.
It stood fully prepared, ready for battle.
A massive fla giant rose from within the sea of fire.
It was the guardian of the Fla Sea, the Fire God.
It was said to be a single fla that had attained enlightennt and cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years.
The cultivation of flas was different.
It did not cultivate realms. There was no Saint Sovereign or Infinite Dao distinction. It cultivated only itself.
Newborn flas could only harm ordinary people.
As flas grew stronger, they could eventually injure even Emperors and Saint Sovereigns.
As for the Fire God before them, even it did not know its own level.
Because in battle, it could burn even Infinite Dao cultivators.
“Human, trespassers must die. If you surrender without resistance and follow to receive punishnt, you may still have a path to survival,” the Fire God spoke, its voice solemn and dignified.
“Enough nonsense. Use whatever ans you have,” Xu Zimo said calmly.
