Chapter 1676 - 1475: Black Dragon, You've Worked Hard

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The Black Dragon howled loudly, its eyes turning blood-red: "You want to make me a mount? Dream on! Though I've been part of the Demon Clan my whole life, I'm not like you. If one day, I become a mount, I'll only be his mount!"

"Him?" The demon clan seemed to know exactly whom the Black Dragon was talking about and sneered: "Are you talking about the Snake Woman's son?"

"Hahaha, stop dreaming. There's been no news for three years now; do you really think he's still alive?"

"When he entered the Chaos Sea, he was just at the Nascent Soul Peak. In a place like the seabed, a mere seventh-grade demon could have killed him. Do you truly think he's still alive?"

"The Young Master is giving you a chance by letting you be his mount; don't think he wouldn't kill you!"

"Once the Demon Saint emerges, who in the world will be able to oppose us?"

"The Demon Clan will rule the world; all those who have wronged us will be slain! Haha, haha!"

As they spoke, the demon holding the chains suddenly increased his grip, causing the Black Dragon to emit a painful roar.

Watching the Black Dragon's agonizing howl, all the demon clan erupted in laughter, as if seeing the Black Dragon's pain brought them immense satisfaction.

Although the Black Dragon was of the Demon Clan, the human cultivators felt deep compassion.

In their eyes, the Black Dragon had become one of their own.

The pain the Black Dragon was enduring would one day be returned to them.

"City Lord Qin, are we just going to wait here to die?" Xie Biwen's voice trembled, filled with compassion and despair.

Qin Ruoshui chuckled bitterly: "What else can we do? Our cultivation is inferior to the Demon Clan's. There are tens of thousands of human cultivators imprisoned here, and soon, the number of human cultivators will surpass a million. Do you truly believe they will keep us alive forever? In my opinion, they're waiting for something, and when there are enough human cultivators, that will be our demise."

"Sigh..." Xie Biwen sighed deeply: "I never thought time could change so quickly. Back then, even though we were exiled by the Immortals to the Chaos Sea, we at least still had our freedom. But in just three years, we've become captives of the Demon Clan. Speaking of which, I wonder how Brother Ye is doing now."

Thinking of Ye Guichen seemed to bring a slight glimmer to Xie Biwen's eyes.

When captured, Xie Biwen had heard the Black Dragon mention that Ye Guichen's bloodline was unusual and would not easily die.

But three years have passed, and Ye Guichen is still nowhere to be seen.

The Black Dragon had even said that if there was anyone who could rescue them from the Chaos Sea, it would be Ye Guichen alone.

Yet, after all these years, Ye Guichen has not appeared; he must have perished long ago.

Qin Ruoshui furrowed his brows: "Yes, when the Black Dragon said Brother Ye had no time left, he told him to consume the eighth-grade Sea Demon's Demon Core. But who knew that he'd be gone for three years. Maybe the Black Dragon was wrong, sigh..."

Not only Qin Ruoshui and his companions felt despair, but many others shared the same sentiment.

Numerous floating cities have appeared near the Hidden Gate, filled with humans.

However, they have no freedom whatsoever.

Every person has started to lose hope.

Because in the Chaos Sea, there's no sign of salvation.

Ye Guichen watched the Black Dragon's torment.

The hostility within him could no longer be concealed.

"You're not from the Demon Clan!" A member of the demon clan finally noticed Ye Guichen's oddity and turned abruptly to face him.

After speaking, the demon raised a hand and lunged towards Ye Guichen.

"I'm not from the Demon Clan; I'm human, and my duty is to slay demons!"

Seeing the demon charge at him, Ye Guichen's eyes showed a cold glint. He waved his hand, without any extra movement, and sent the opponent flying.

The demon had no strength to fight back, his flesh torn and bloodied, dying on the spot.

Ye Guichen's action immediately caught the attention of many demons.

"There's a human cultivator among us? Quick, capture him!"

A large demon roared, suddenly transforming into a white tiger, and pounced towards Ye Guichen.

Simultaneously, many demon beasts surrounded Ye Guichen.

Hundreds of demon clan members, with the lowest cultivation reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm.

The ones with higher cultivation even reached the Mahayana Realm.

Hearing the commotion, Qin Ruoshui and others turned their gaze in that direction.

Upon seeing Ye Guichen's figure, Qin Ruoshui was taken aback, unable to believe it: "Isn't that Brother Ye?"

Xie Biwen was too weary to open his eyes, but upon hearing Qin Ruoshui, he shook his head: "City Lord Qin, don't console me; after three years, how is it possible that Brother Ye would still appear?"

"Roar!"

But the Black Dragon roared, its voice filled with joy: "Haha, you're back, kid, you've finally returned!"

The Black Dragon's booming voice caused all the dispirited human cultivators to lift their heads.

Some, from afar, couldn't see Ye Guichen's features clearly, but they heard the demons' shouts and knew a human cultivator had intruded.

"With just one human cultivator, how could he stand against those demons?"

"Sigh, probably just another guy who thinks he's a hero."

"Yeah, before, people often broke in here alone, but in the end, all they found was death."

Some people sighed lightly.

Previously, people had hoped to rescue the human cultivators.

No matter how many came, they were all caught, even imprisoned.

Hope repeatedly arose, only to be lost again.

So now, even with Ye Guichen's arrival, they have no hope left.

Ye Guichen stared coldly at the demons charging towards him.

"Initially, I wanted to keep a low profile, but now, I'll slaughter openly!" Ye Guichen gestured with his hand.

A myriad of swords appeared!

"Kill them for me!"

Tens of thousands of Immortal Swords appeared like a rain of swords.

These Immortal Swords carried a fierce killing intent, as if they had transformed into a raging flood, directly rushing towards the Demon Clan.

In the past, it would have been difficult to slay these high-cultivation demon clans.

But now, Ye Guichen's cultivation had greatly increased, and the power of the Immortal Swords had been fully unleashed.

Additionally, each Immortal Sword contained a Sword Spirit.

It should be known that those who become Sword Immortals are comparable to immortal beasts.

Among them, there are even some immortals who have been refined into the swords.

After being refined, they became part of the Immortal Swords.

Even though most of them lost their self-awareness, their combat power was not inferior to when they were alive.

Moreover, after being refined into the Immortal Swords, they resonated with the master of the swords.

With just a thought from Ye Guichen, even if he didn't take action himself, they would independently go to kill.

Tens of thousands of Immortal Swords flew out, and although their sword spirits were just soul bodies and their combat power might be somewhat weakened compared to their former selves,

Nonetheless, they possessed the power of a Half-step Immortal.

Tens of thousands of Half-step Immortals were practically a one-sided slaughter for these Demon Clans.

Every sweep of an Immortal Sword resulted in a demon's head being chopped off, with not even the soul having a chance to escape.

Because these Immortal Swords carried a bloodthirsty frenzy.

While slaying the demon clans, they would quickly devour the demon's soul bodies.

On the vast floating city, blood splattered everywhere.

The wails were endless.

The leading Great Tiger Demon did not expect such a sudden change.

Terror flashed in its eyes, and although it could avoid the attacks of a few Immortal Swords, its heart was filled with fear.

"Kid, you court death!"

The Tiger Demon spoke human language, its eyes filled with fierce malice, and it roared fiercely, its form turning into a blur, appearing in front of Ye Guichen in the blink of an eye.

The Tiger Demon believed that as long as it killed Ye Guichen, these swords would be nothing to fear.

Ye Guichen, with his mind connected to ten thousand swords, wielded the Immortal Slayer Sword like a war god.

Seeing the Tiger Demon rush over, he smirked teasingly, "You came to me yourself, so let me send you on your way."

He raised his hand and slashed down with his sword.

The Immortal Slayer Sword carried a world-destroying force, directly splitting the Tiger Demon in two.

The Tiger Demon was still a hundred meters away from Ye Guichen.

Yet, its figure abruptly stopped, unable to advance even an inch.

"How, how is this possible, you, you are an Immortal?" The Tiger Demon's pupils shrank slightly, its face full of disbelief.

It was a Mahayana Realm Great Demon, and few in the Chaos Sea could match it.

Yet, it found it was no match for the person before it, not even for one sword.

Other than an Immortal, who else could do this?

"That, that was a Mahayana Realm Great Demon, just died like that?"

"My God, is that guy really a human?"

"That seems to be tens of thousands of Immortal Swords, truly unbelievable!"

"Could it be that we are saved?"

The crowd, once doubtful, began to harbor hope.

The Black Dragon transformed into a human form, tears of joy flowing from its blood-red eyes.

"I bet correctly!"

It smiled knowingly.

It realized that tricking Ye Guichen into slaying the eighth-rank Sea Demon was the right gamble.

Ye Guichen must have encountered some great opportunity at the bottom of the Chaos Sea.

Even just on the surface, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Mahayana Realm.

Being one step away from becoming an Immortal, he could be considered a Half-step Immortal.

It had only been three years!

For an ordinary person, the Black Dragon believed this would be impossible.

Yet miracles often happened around Ye Guichen.

"Indeed, with her bloodline, not a mortal!" The Black Dragon let out a long, exhilarating howl.

Ye Guichen directly commanded the tens of thousands of Immortal Swords to start cutting open the cages and chains imprisoning human cultivators.

Slash!

Ring!

Accompanied by crisp breaking sounds.

Many human cultivators regained their freedom.

They charged angrily at the nearby demon clans, commencing a slaughter.

These chains were not Immortal Artifacts and were completely exposed before the Immortal Swords.

Ye Guichen rushed straight to the Black Dragon, raising the Immortal Slayer Sword to cut the chains off the Black Dragon's back: "Black Dragon, thank you for your hard work!"
