That speck of azure blue was dazzling and bright to the extreme, causing half of the space that was filled with the light of blood to be dyed blue.
That was the final drop of the Taotie's heart blood, originating from the depths of his bloodline as it was being condensed to a high degree for his revival.
This was an effect that would be very difficult for outsiders to achieve with secret arts. Even if all the demonic blood of the Taotie was sucked dry, it would still be hard to achieve.
It was only under special circumstances like this that it was possible.
As the heart blood appeared, the Heaven Swallowing Sword Box instantly shook even more intensely.
The ancient copper sword within the sword box was virtually unable to seal the demonic soul within.
The roar of the Taotie was deafening to the ears.
The projection on the surface of the sword box, the head of the Taotie, virtually turned tangible as it shot out of the sword box, shooting towards the blood pool, wanting to merge with that drop of heart blood and the fleshly body that had transformed into the underwater palace.
Now, however, Yan Zhaoge's Northern Ocean Clone suddenly made a move!
The Earth Devouring Burner caused the Northern Ocean Clone to slap down on the top of the Heaven Swallowing Sword Box with a palm.
The Earth Devouring Burner that resembled a small black incense burner stood atop the sword box, its legs gradually merging with the outer shell of the sword box!
At this moment, the Heaven Swallowing Sword Box and the Earth Devouring Burner merged as one.
The Earth Devouring Burner looked like a decoration that had originally been on the top of the sword box.
Fiery light suddenly surged within the black incense burner, resembling embers reigniting from the dead!
The demonic soul of the Taotie that wanted to charge out of the Heaven Swallowing Sword Box instantly halted before it let out a furious, enraged howl.
The Northern Ocean Clone opened his palm, roaring lightly, "Pan-Pan!"
Radiance flickered within his palm, a round, black-and-white figure leaping out from within, landing within the blood pool!
It was precisely Pan-Pan.
He had left the Myriad Dragon Palace earlier and remained within the blood pool, not following Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng up as he had long since been prepared.
Entering the blood pool, Pan-Pan blinked, his tongue curling as he directly swallowed that Taotie's heart blood that resembled an azure gem.
Instantly, a layer of blue light surfaced on Pan-Pan's body, his eyes turning bloodred.
A violent, ferocious aura emanated from Pan-Pan's body as his body began expanding uncontrollably.
Usually, Pan-Pan would intentionally shrink his body to maintain his form. Yet, he was no longer able to control his body as he rapidly regained his original size, resembling the size of a mountain peak.
Even so, there were still streams of blood-red light rising and falling on the surface of its body, as if its blood vessels were about to burst and rush out of its body.
This dead Taotie's cultivation base was too high. Even though it had died, a single drop of its heart's blood was condensed from the essence of its entire body's demonic blood. Its power was so great that it was far from what the current Pan-Pan could safely devour and absorb.
The Northern Ocean Clone had long since been prepared for this as he lifted up the Heaven Swallowing Sword Box, landing on Pan-Pan's head and setting it down.
The cauldron fire on top of the sword box flickered, instantly emitting a tremendous suction force, helping Pan-Pan share some of the pressure.
The manic pain in Pan-Pan's eyes vanished, becoming peaceful once more. His massive body did not shrink as he directly descended into the blood pool.
The remaining demonic blood within the Taotie's demonic heart was also beginning to be absorbed by Pan-Pan in large amounts.
As the Heaven Swallowing Sword Box and the Earth Devouring Burner completely merged, the Taotie Demon Soul that was just a step away from escaping was instantly retracted.
A stream of light flashed across the surface of the ancient scarlet copper sword, sweeping up the roaring demon soul and returning it to the sword.
The flowing light turned into a dot and kept rolling on the sword edge.
A sharp howl that resembled the wailing of an infant gradually transformed into the cry of a sword, resounding from within the sword box and spreading unceasingly into the surroundings, finally reverberating throughout the entire underground palace.
A powerful aura shot into the heavens, shocking everyone's minds.
Kang Ping, Gu Hong and the others were all stunned, "This … a high-grade Sacred Artifact has appeared, and an extremely powerful one at that, a peak existence amongst Sacred Artifacts?!"
The blood pool dried up, the demonic heart gradually separating from the other parts of the Taotie's fleshly body.
Meanwhile, the other parts of the Taotie's fleshly body had all transformed into black holes at this moment!
Countless black holes gradually merged as one, forming a complete black abyss which devoured all lifeforms within.
Endless Magnetic Storms rampaged in the waters of the Clear Scenic Region of the Royal Reed Sea.
Now, however, the storms actually gradually subsided.
Yet, this was merely the beginning of an even greater tribulation.
The seas of the entire Clear Scenic Region and even the surrounding Desert Mountain Region and other places began to cave downwards!
A massive black hole appeared at the bottom of the great sea, a terrifying devouring force emanating from within as it unceasingly devoured everything above it.
The underwater palace at the bottom of the sea had already completely vanished. Those who had originally been within the palace were now all trapped by the black hole, dragging them downwards.
That terrifying power was something that even Kang Ping and the others who had already attained the Immortal Bridge Martial Saint stage would find hard to extricate themselves from.
Whether it was Kang Ping, He Dongcheng, Gu Zhang or Luo Zhiyuan, Gu Hong and Gongsun Wu, they were all already unable to care about their earlier opponents now.
Everyone was trying to break free from the restraints of the black hole with all their might.
The Taotie had failed to revive as its demonic soul had instead completely transformed into a part of the sword, a peerless, ferocious sword having been successfully born.
Yet, the power of the flesh and blood of its remaining fleshly body had already been completely stimulated.
Without the demonic soul possessing it now, its power instantly went completely out of control as it descended into a final frenzy.
Its flesh and blood was completely incinerated, transforming into a terrifying black hole which would directly collapse after devouring all things.
At that time, all lifeforms devoured by the black hole would return to dust along with it, dust to dust.
The only place which had been less affected was the Taotie's demonic heart that had been preserved.
The remnant corner of the underwater palace formed of the demonic heart along with a piece of flesh and blood around it barely managed to maintain its original form as it also possessed a great resistance against the devouring of the black hole down below.
In the palace near the blood pool, that fiery phoenix had already rushed before Yan Zhaoge.
He was taken aback by this sudden turn of events, "This underwater palace was formed of the remnant body of a Taotie, with a high-grade Sacred Artifact also concealed within?"
"No, the Sacred Artifact was just forged. Ancestor Hei should have long since died. This is the mechanism he left behind when he was alive, continuing all the way till now?"
The figure of a youth appeared amidst the fiery phoenix, his brows knit tightly, "To think that apart from the phoenix bone, Ancestor Hei actually left behind something like this. If I had known about it earlier, it would not have been so troublesome."
The man's gaze turned towards Yan Zhaoge and Tang Yonghao, his brows relaxing, "Fortunately, this place can still be considered safe. Let's first obtain the phoenix bone before looking at that Sacred Artifact."
Gazing about, he directly reached out and grabbed towards Yan Zhaoge and Tang Yonghao.
The fiery phoenix spread its wings, blazing fire that surged to the heavens sweeping the area.
The Extreme Yang Seal flickered with radiance. Yet, a dark red glow also lit up on the other party's body, resisting the Extreme Yang Seal.
While this high-grade Sacred Artifact of his was inferior to the Extreme Yang Seal, his cultivation base was higher than Yan Zhaoge's as he was able to exert the power of the Sacred Artifact more effectively.
Yet, Yan Zhaoge's expression was composed.
The next moment, an extremely ferocious aura emanated over.
The Northern Ocean Clone carried a massive black sword box on his back as he appeared before them.
Arriving before the sword box, the roiling blazing fire that was born of the flapping wings of that fiery phoenix was instantly absorbed within, vanishing without a trace.
The other party raised his brows, the fiery phoenix descending with a shocking momentum.
The Northern Ocean Clone put down the sword box, slapping it forcefully.
The sword box opened, infinite sword-qi shooting madly out!
The sword-qi and blazing fire clashed unceasingly amidst space, the sword-qi slashing and extinguishing the flames while the flames incinerated the sword-qi as they were locked in a fierce battle.
Yet, following closely after the sword-qi, a sword-light slowly arose from within the sword box. (To be continued.)
