Boom, boom, boom—
As Nalan Sheng roared, the ground trembled violently. At the same time, the sky above erupted with thunder and lightning.
"What immense power…"
The people around him began to tremble, terrified.
A single roar caused the earth to shake and the sky to fill with thunder and lightning. Just how powerful had Nalan Sheng become?
Could it be that Nalan Sheng had already ascended to become a Martial God?
The thought sent waves of shock through everyone's hearts, their eyes wide with disbelief.
"What is this…"
Even Nalan Sheng was stunned.
He hadn't done anything, yet the sky above was filled with thunder and lightning, and the space high in the air seemed to distort and twist. The ground was stirred by violent winds.
"What's happening?"
Ye Fan, too, was surprised. It seemed like a powerful force was about to appear in the sky!
In the distorted space above, several figures gradually emerged.
"What are those…!?"
Nalan Sheng's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the figures.
The beings in the sky were unlike normal warriors. They were much taller and more muscular, and their bodies… were covered in fur! Their faces resembled those of beasts!
"Wait a minute… could those be… the legendary Demon Gods!?"
Nalan Sheng's eyes grew wide with realization.
It was said that after becoming a Martial Saint, one would ascend to the Martial God Realm, leaving behind the mortal world. This was because of certain rules that caused those who reached such heights to be rejected by the land and forced into another world — the Martial God Realm!
The Martial God Realm was vast, and not every part of it was dominated by Martial Gods. There was a large region called the Demon Domain, where powerful demons and Demon Gods roamed…
The description of these Demon Gods matched what Nalan Sheng was now witnessing perfectly!
What kind of nightmare was this!?
"There it is, kekekeke…"
The eerie voices of the beings in the sky carried clearly to Nalan Sheng.
"Damn them…"
Nalan Sheng's eyes narrowed in fear.
"Are they after this sword?"
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead as he glanced at Ye Fan Sword in his hand. It was highly likely that these beings had come in search of the sword! The sword's strength was far beyond anything that should exist in this world.
Boom—
At that moment, the Demon Gods unleashed terrifying energy!
The black energy formed into giant black serpents, speeding toward Nalan Sheng with incredible speed!
"Demon Gods!?"
"There are actually Demon Gods!"
"Weren't they all wiped out by Lin San!?"
Even Ye Fan was taken aback by the sight.
"If things go like this, he's in serious danger."
Nalan Sheng was only a Martial Saint. Even though the sword had boosted his power significantly, it was not enough to reach the level of a Martial God, let alone take on actual Demon Gods.
"However, if he pushes himself to the limit, he might stand a chance to slay them," Ye Fan added.
"Ahhh!!!"
Nalan Sheng roared as the terrifying black serpents bore down on him. His body surged with energy, pouring into the Ye Fan Sword.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
The sword vibrated, emitting a terrifyingly powerful aura.
Slash!
With a mighty swing, Nalan Sheng cut through the air. A massive sword-shaped shadow appeared, slashing through the black serpents, cutting them cleanly in half.
In an instant, the black energy dissipated.
"Yes!"
"It's true! This sword is the one we've been searching for all these years!!!"
Rather than being surprised, the Demon Gods were ecstatic upon seeing this.
There was no doubt — this sword was the one they had been seeking! The Demon Sword!
"Kill the human and take the sword!" one of the Demon Gods shouted.
At once, two of the Demon Gods descended at incredible speed.
Whoosh—
In mere moments, the two Demon Gods appeared before Nalan Sheng.
"Three-star Demon Gods," Ye Fan observed, instantly understanding their strength.
Even though they were only three-star Demon Gods, Nalan Sheng would have a tough time dealing with them!
Both Demon Gods wielded long swords and attacked Nalan Sheng with lightning speed!
The speed was blindingly fast. Nalan Sheng's pupils shrank as he hastily blocked the strike with Ye Fan Sword.
Clang, clang—
The sharp sounds of metal clashing echoed, and Nalan Sheng was sent flying by the force of the impact.
Pff—
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
The force from the weapon collision was so overwhelming that it felt as if his internal organs had been displaced.
Even with this sword in hand, he lacked the power to fully harness its strength against such foes.
"The toughest metal weapons were chipped after just a single strike…"
The two Demon Gods stared in disbelief at their own swords.
They had gone to great lengths to forge these blades from the strongest materials they could find, especially in preparation for facing this fabled Demon Sword, which was said to cut through divine weapons with ease.
But even so, their weapons had already begun to chip after just one clash.
"It's the real sword."
"But this human, he's nothing more than an insect from the mortal world."
"Kekeke…"
The two Demon Gods cackled ominously.
"Reverse Dragon Strike!"
Nalan Sheng gritted his teeth, summoning his power and sweeping Ye Fan Sword in a wide arc. A powerful surge of water-attribute energy erupted from the sword, instantly forming a massive water dragon!
