Yang Dingtian spotted a fiery red crystal on the handle of the sword, which had to be a thousand-year-old demon nucleus. At the mont, the entire sword was as black as ink with so cracks along its blade.
“This crack was caused by several violent attacks by the sword spirit,” Zhao Wujin said. “That’s why it is impossible to use this sword anymore. As soon as soone holds it, the sword spirit will imdiately turn violent and will not only consu the wielder but even the sword itself.”
“As such, you must rember that you have to end it with one strike. Don’t hold the sword for longer than three breaths, or you will be killed by the sword spirit.” Zhao Wujin emphasized, “You must pay attention. Although the Millennium Owl’s Xuan energy has been sealed, its outer shell is still extrely hard. Even this quality Bloody Black Gold sword might not be able to pierce through it. However, three hundred years ago, it was stabbed and suffered a deep wound at the top of its head. Even though it is fully recovered now, the defensive power around its old injury is not as strong as the rest of it. You must stab it there.”
Then, Zhao Mu took out a drawing, which depicted the Millennium Owl.
It was only now that Yang Dingtian saw what the Millennium Owl looked like in its entirety. Its ugly head was flat and pointy. Its snake-like neck was covered with thorns. Its dium-sized body sported two gigantic wings and also a long tail. The edges of its wings were as sharp as blades. There were countless thorns sprouting along its long tail. Both of its back legs were huge and strong while both of its front legs were thin and long, almost disproportionately so. The four claws on each forelimb were like ten-ter-long sharp blades, appearing very intimidating.
Overall, the Millennium Owl was extrely ugly and fierce. Every inch of its body exuded its lethality. This was truly a dark creature borne of bombardnt by thousands of lightning bolts. It looked like it ca from hell.
“The wound on its head is located here, at the most central point.” Zhao Mu pointed at the Millennium Owl in the drawing. “You must rember to strike imdiately after you take the sword out, and there won’t be a second chance. Of course, everything depends on whether Ms. Xin Ningning is able to return with the treasure that is able to control this beast.”
“I believe in her,” Yang Dingtian said. He then reached out to accept the Xuan Ice Sword Box containing the Bloody Black Gold sword.
“Put on the gloves. You won’t be able to stand the cold,” Zhao Mu said imdiately.
However, Yang Dingtian was already holding the sword box, and his hands instantly started steaming.
Sure enough, it weighed over a hundred pounds and was truly ice-cold, even colder than the unfreezing pond.
Looking at how Yang Dingtian was fine after taking the Xuan Ice Box, Zhao Mu sighed and said, “Truly the most Yang of Xuan Veins. Impressive.”
Yang Dingtian smiled a little and placed the Xuan Ice Sword box on the ground.
The quality Bloody Black Gold Sword needed to slaughter the Millennium Owl has already been obtained. Now, he just needed to wait for Ningning to bring back the Deep Sea Xuan Poison.”
.....
It’s the final day. In five more hours, both moons will completely cover both suns. The once-in-three-hundred-years Yin Yang Festival was about to arrive. It was also ti for Yang Dingtian to use the Yin Yang Five-Elent Formation to break through.
However, Ningning was not back yet.
Zhao Mu had already moved most of his people out of Horror Mountain Village. If they failed to kill the Millennium Owl, the beast would destroy the entire village when it powered up and broke through the seal. Yang Dingtian sat on the slate, waiting with his eyes closed and occasionally eying the Millennium Owl beneath him.
The Millennium Owl was different today. Previously, although its entire body was imrsed in the magma, its eyes above the magma would be wide open. However, today, its eyes were closed as if it were preparing for sothing. In addition, the entire magma abyss was extrely quiet today without any eruption or surges. In such silence, it was as if the owl was building up an incredibly frightening amount of energy.
Both suns have risen, but Xin Ningning was still not back yet.
An hour passed. Both suns were shining brightly, illuminating the entire land. But, Ningning was still not back yet.
Two hours later, the sun was slanting eastward, but Ningning was still not back yet.
Three hours later...
Four hours later....
At the mont, both suns have already risen to their apex, baking the entire earth. The sky was cloudless.
Noon, the hottest ti of day, had arrived. There was only half an hour left until the eclipse!
But, Ningning has yet to return.
Although Yang Dingtian’s eyes were still closed, his body had begun to tremble. His heart was racing. His breathing beca uneven. His mind was muddled.
“Why is Sister Ningning not back yet? Could she be in danger? Or could she not co back?”
Moreover, he could no longer help but touch the Xuan Ice Sword more and more often. If Ningning still didn’t co back, it might be too late. Not only would the Yin Yang Five-Elent Formation fail, but the Millennium Owl would also break free from the seal and tear Yang Dingtian into pieces and destroy Horror Mountain Village afterward.
“Crakk...” Suddenly, the secret door above opened.
Yang Dingtian opened his eyes excitedly and was about to shout.
“Brother Yang, it’s !” The person who ca was Zhao Mu. Zhao Wujin carried him on his back and slowly landed on the slate.
“Brother Zhao Mu, why are you still here?” Yang Dingtian asked.
Zhao Mu walked to Yang Dingtian and said, “We are about to leave now, and we won’t be able to make it if we don’t leave now. But, you need to follow us. We can ride the flying beast together.”
“I will not leave,” Yang Dingtian said.
“You have to leave. I can’t bear to watch you die here,” Zhao Mu said. “Ms. Ningning won’t be able to make it, and it is less than half an hour until the eclipse.”
Yang Dingtian bit his lips, trembling. “She said that she’ll rush back, so she’ll definitely be able to make it back. My words might seem plain, but this is what I truly believe.”
“No, it’s just that you’ve put in a lot of effort, so you are not willing to give up,” Zhao Mu said. “As a man, you should be able to let go. So what if you were to miss this Yin Yang Festival? Won’t there be another chance?”
“There really won’t be, Brother Zhao,” Yang Dingtian said. “My only chance to break through would be this Yin Yang Festival, and if I were to miss it, I’ll have to wait another three hundred years. I’d be long dead by then.”
“I don’t believe it. You shouldn’t either,” Zhao Mu said with determination. “Have I not lost hope before? After being struck by Dongfang Bingling, I beca a cripple and lost all hope in the ensuing years. But your appearance cured . Since a miracle happened for , why can’t it happen for you?”
Yang Dingtian said, “Brother Zhao, the only miracle that will happen is if Sister Ningning returns. If she makes it back before the eclipse, then a miracle will happen for . Otherwise, I will completely lose any chance for one.”
“Bullshit, losing this chance will only an that you’ll take longer ti to beco powerful,” Zhao Mu said loudly. “If you can’t beat Dongfang Bingling in five years, then take ten years or even twenty years. I have already been a cripple for five years, and I can still wait one or two years to recover my previous cultivation. It’s no big deal. Fighting for your dignity in five years... Could it be that you won’t be able to fight for your dignity in ten years? The sa goes for Cloud Sky City. Is it not Cloud Sky City anymore if you were to snatch it back in ten or twenty years?”
Instantly, Yang Dingtian was silent.
After a long ti, Yang Dingtian slowly said, “Brother Zhao, you are correct, and it makes a lot of sense. But I will not leave because I know that as soon I do, I will lose.”
Zhao Mu was so angry that he ended up laughing. “Let ask you. What is the point of you staying here if Xin Ningning doesn’t co back? Can you kill the Millennium Owl?”
“I can’t,” Yang Dingtian said. “Instead, you two should leave, or you won’t be able to escape the Millennium Owl. As soon as it goes mad, the area within hundreds of miles would turn into a graveyard.”
“Sure enough, we will be leaving.” Zhao Mu turned around. “But you have to leave as well. I’m not going to argue with you. You have already gone insane, and I can’t bear to watch you die like this. Uncle, bring him along forcefully.”
Yang Dingtian pulled out his dagger and placed it against his own neck. “I have no suicidal thoughts. I rely want to express my determination, my unshakable determination.”
Zhao Mu clenched his teeth and was about to order Zhao Wujin to forcefully bring Yang Dingtian along.
“Fine,” Zhao Wujin said. “He is probably fated to take this risk. If he can’t pass this stage, then it ans that he is not the chosen one. Let him be.”
Yang Dingtian put down his dagger and bowed. “Thank you, Senior.”
“Boom...” Suddenly, the earth vibrated, and the magma sea tens of thousands of ters below roiled.
“The ti has co. We need to leave now,” Zhao Wujin said.
Zhao Mu was torn as he looked at Yang Dingtian. “Take care.”
Then, he jumped on Zhao Wujin’s back, and the two of them rushed out the rock door, disappearing above.
Yang Dingtian cald down, closed his eyes, and breathed calmly, waiting for the final mont.
“Boom...” Another explosion. There were waves in the magma sea, and the Millennium Owl had opened its eyes. Its huge eyes were excited and dumbfounded at the sa ti.
It slowly floated out of the magma sea.
At this mont, two globes of darkness gradually began to cover the two bright suns in the blue sky. They moved slowly, gradually covering the brightness.
The Eclipse had arrived. Both moons were about to cover both suns.
The entire earth gradually beca darker inch by inch.
Everyone on the Chaotic Mainland was observing the eclipse while kneeling on the ground, waiting for the most mysterious, frightening, and holy period in 300 years to arrive.
All of the demonic beasts in the Chaotic Mainland knelt down and curled up, hiding in the safest part of their caves, waiting for the arrival of the scariest mont.
Only this dark creature was moving and moving furiously at that. This was because the most exciting mont for it in the last three hundred years had arrived as its energy would increase ten folds. Even if it gains rely an hour of strength in exchange for a year of weakness, it would be more than willing.
Both moons gradually covered both suns, and the entire earth was enveloped by darkness.
In the magma sea beneath, the Millennium Owl slowly stood up, and its body was over a hundred ters tall. It was even scarier than the drawing, even fiercer, even more bloodthirsty, and even uglier.
“Humans, you want to kill ?” Suddenly, a shocking voice rang out of the abyss, and it had co from the mouth of the Millennium Owl.
