In a dark and cold part of the starry river.
A gigantic bronze coffin shone brightly as it soared through the air, riding the wind and breaking the waves.
Countless inscriptions flew around the surface of the bronze coffin like mosquitoes and flies.
Stars that were as bright as gems glittered in the depths of the starry river.
Wisps of starlight turned into pure star energy and poured into the bronze coffin.
The totem of a green-faced, ferocious-looking Hybrid Demon appeared on the coffin lid, as if it had smelled the familiar aura of outer space and wanted to come out to breathe in the fresh air.
A cold shout came from within the coffin.
Green Nightmare, who had appeared in its illusory true form, let out a muffled groan as its soul was instantly scattered.
A golden pill that was as large as a mountain suddenly emerged from a speck of light the size of a grain of rice.
Ancient runes that had long since disappeared were engraved on the pill, and golden liquid flowed out of them.
The golden liquid contained the most dazzling life aura, and seemed to be able to revive the dead and regrow flesh from bones.
Suddenly, the ancient runes emitted clear and melodious laughter. Then, those runes turned into tens of thousands of beautiful women in brightly colored clothes.
The women were lithe and graceful. They held shining swords and formed a sword formation that charged towards the bronze coffin.
They looked like shooting stars mixed with sparkling sword light.
Silver chains suddenly flew out of the depths of the starry river.
Each chain was as wide as the sea and thousands of kilometers long.
The chains also wrapped around the bronze coffin.
All of a sudden, countless inscriptions on the surface of the huge bronze coffin flew out like stars.
The dim starry river was suddenly filled with dazzling starlight. The stars formed by the inscriptions morphed into a giant hand that gently pinched the shooting stars formed by the beautiful women's sword formation.
It was as if he was dragging a river of light, pulling and flinging it towards the shining silver chains.
Dazzling light suddenly exploded in the void around the bronze coffin.
Hundreds of balls of light exploded, and billions of fragments of starlight sputtered in all directions.
"Farewell!"
A mocking laugh came from within the bronze coffin.
Rings of dim light appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around the bronze coffin.
The coffin shrank magically inside the rings of dim light until it was as small as a mustard seed.
Then, together with the dim light, they disappeared into thin air.
The dazzling golden pill expanded for a moment before abruptly contracting.
The thousands of beautiful sword-wielding women disappeared into the pill like the return of a needle.
The golden pill turned into a golden dagger and was held in the hand of a Yang God who was wearing golden spiritual armor and refined with pure energy of heaven and earth.
The Yin Spirit was illusory while the Yang Spirit was corporeal. This was the fundamental difference.
At the other end of the silver chains, a small figure appeared.
This person had a delicate face and a thin figure. There were streaks of silver lightning on his neck, releasing a terrifying power.
The chain in his hand looked like he was flying a kite. However, the chain was wide and long, while his body was too small. Just looking at it made others feel that it was out of place.
The man and woman stared at the spot where the giant bronze coffin had vanished into thin air, not speaking for a long time.
After a long time.
The woman holding the golden short sword sighed. "He managed to break free and even brought Green Nightmare, White Ghost, and Emperor Hantian with him."
The man's face was expressionless as he said, "The last four of the top ten in the forbidden region of the Fallen Moons also managed to break free."
The woman pondered for a moment before saying, "Did he break through the barrier of the starry river on purpose to let us know that he didn't intend to open the spatial tunnel? Something must have happened in the forbidden region of the Fallen Moons. Now that he has awakened and broken the Heaven-sealing Soul-transforming Formation, he must have the ability to reopen the spatial tunnel. "
"If he really wanted to open it, all of the living beings on the Qian Xuan Continent would have been wiped out long ago," the man with silver lightning bolts on his neck said with a plain tone.
"If he didn't do it, why bother?" The woman asked in a soft voice.
"The reason why he was sealed in the forbidden region of the Fallen Moons and didn't perish is because he didn't do it." The man's tone was indifferent as he continued, "However, it's his fault that some of the Heavenly Devils managed to break free from the forbidden region of the Fallen Moons and wreak havoc on the Qian Xuan Continent."
"What should we do now?" The woman asked with a worried expression. "If he escapes from the Haoran heaven and meets up with the remnants of the Shenhun Sect, we'll be under even greater pressure."
"Not necessarily." The man shook his head. "The way I see it, it can't be a coincidence that he was able to escape after the upheaval in the forbidden region of the Fallen Moons."
Upon hearing these words, the woman's expression flickered with astonishment. "Someone did it?"
"Times have changed. He's very weak now, and there are too many powerful experts in the Shenhun Sect now." The man seemed to be deep in thought as he added, "His return may be a threat to many of the members of this generation of the Shenhun Sect.
"But he has always had a bad temper, and he's been around for a long time.
"The upheaval in the Shenhun Sect will probably last for a while. It's hard to say how many people will still be willing to follow him.
"We should be able to relax for a while and see what changes will happen in the Shenhun Sect after his return."
The woman's expression flickered as she heard these words. "Aren't you afraid that we'll let the tiger return to the mountain?"
"There are too many tigers in the Shenhun Sect right now. We can't even fight them all." A hint of gloominess finally appeared on the man's face as he said, "Some people want to see this crippled tiger return and let those tiger cubs fight him."
"What about the forbidden area of the Falling Moons?" The woman asked. "Nothing bad will happen to that spatial tunnel, will it?"
"Without him, it's impossible for those rascals to open a spatial tunnel." The man's face was filled with disdain. "Don't worry about it. Besides, the sword intent left by that expert of the Sword Sect is very repulsive to us. We'd better not pay too much attention to it. "
"Alright, alright then."
…
The Earth Demon Xi Ming's soul shadows were still able to survive after leaving the Soulrefining Pool.
The seven streams of sword intent slaughtered the soul shadows one after another.
Xi Ming, the azure-robed boy who had attempted to bewitch Yu Yuan into opening a spatial tunnel at the bottom of the Soulrefining Pool, morphed into streaks of cyan light and flew into the sword slashes on the wall of the pool.
The ancient sword intent that filled the sky continued to pursue the Shades and demon spirits, as well as the cultivators from the Silver Moon Empire.
Those who survived kept moving further and further away from the Soulrefining Pool, and didn't dare to come any closer.
Anzan Shan, who had possessed another person's body, miraculously didn't suffer the sword intent's pursuit.
Other than him, Zhao Yafu was also unharmed.
"Big Brother Yu."
Standing on top of the pool, Zhao Yafu called out with an anxious expression, "Can you not kill that senior who passed on our secret incantations?"
She had long since realized that the sword intent on the wall of the pool had a profound connection to Yu Yuan.
The fact that she and An Xishan hadn't been killed by Nie Tian's sword intent must have been because of Yu Yuan.
At the bottom of the pool.
Upon hearing Zhao Yafu's words, Yuan Lianyao from Dark Moon City looked up at Zhao Yafu and Anzan Shan, who now had a fleshly body. Her face, which was as beautiful as a flower, was suddenly filled with astonishment.
She stared at Yu Yuan with astonishment as she recalled a terrifying fact.
"The sword intent on the wall of the pool...?"
Her lips trembled slightly as she said these words.
Zhao Yafu was unharmed, and Anzan Shan, the blood shadow who had formed a tacit understanding with Yu Yuan, wasn't attacked either. This explained a lot.
Yu Yuan was able to influence the sword intent!
If that was the case, then what about the deaths of the Silver Moon Empire's grand cultivators outside the Soulrefining Pool?
Did the death of the Lin Clan's patriarch and Lin Zhuyun's uncle have anything to do with Yu Yuan?
