"Such thick demon energy..."
In the Danai Dynasty, above Bright City, Yang Fujian floated in the air, controlling his sword.
He looked at the overwhelming demon aura coming from Devil Wind Forest, his gaze serious, unsure of what had happened.
At this moment, a flock of large birds flew through the sky.
"So many from the Demon Clan! So many from the Demon Clan!"
"The space channel is open!"
Yang Fuqing caught these large birds, and after some inquiries, her expression turned grim.
"Xiao Jian, the barrier of the Demon Realm... has opened again! The Demon Clan has returned! Stronger and more numerous than before!"
Yang Fujian frowned deeply, and the sword box behind him trembled violently.
Their plan... was shattered! Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel✦fire.net
The barrier of the Demon Realm was not permanently closed, nor did it open as they previously thought it would, in fifty or even a hundred years...
He looked towards the distant Qingshi Town.
"Father... I'll guard this place, no matter how many demons come, they will be slain!"
[Ruyi Illusion Sword] sensed its owner's soaring sword intent and autonomously flew out of the sword box, swirling three times before landing in his hand.
The sword spirit appeared.
"Willing to follow the master into battle!"
At this time, a semi-transparent human figure emerged from Yang Fujian's sword box.
Yang Changzai curled his lip and spoke sarcastically, "Willing to follow the master into battle~ Tsk! Who's pretending here? Did Brother Jian ask you?"
The sword spirit replied, "Your spirit surpasses mine, why not find a treasure to inhabit and become an artifact spirit? Instead, you waste your days idly barking? I don't understand..."
"Artifact... spirit?"
Yang Changzai's mind was struck as if by a bolt of lightning, instantly comprehending everything.
"I understand why I was resurrected... I need to help Brother Jian... I need to help him break through that day's ice seal..."
"My body is useless, but my soul is not..."
"Brother Jian, I've realized!"
Yang Changzai transformed into a stream of light and merged into Yang Fujian's high-grade treasure [Wind Charm Double Swords].
This was Yang Fujian's former weapon, obtained by Yang Fushuo from the Dragon God Immortal Palace.
As Yang Changzai merged into [Wind Charm Double Swords], thick thunderclouds appeared in the sky.
[Wind Charm Double Swords] flew out from Yang Fujian's back.
Yang Changzai's eyes blazed with fiery intensity, pointing the double swords to the sky!
"Come! Death cannot destroy me, nor can you!"
Heavenly thunder struck!
Yang Changzai's soul roared, and this sword rapidly evolved!
"This is... a spiritual artifact tribulation!"
Yang Qiangjing approached.
"A spiritual artifact tribulation? Changzai... will it be dangerous?"
Yang Fujian had never heard of this, he only watched as the soul of Tiger Uncle's youngest son struggled within the tribulation, deeply unwilling, extending his hand attempting to absorb the lightning to share the burden.
"No! This tribulation is his Heavenly Gate, after crossing it the sword transforms into a spiritual artifact, his soul and the artifact will be eternally bound, this is Changzai Uncle's own trial, only he can pass it."
"But he's... very weak."
"No, Father, he's... very strong!"
Even after his death, Yang Changzai preserved his complete soul through sheer determination, beyond ordinary tenacity...
At this moment the sky above the Danai Dynasty split in two.
Half filled with soaring demon energy, half with rolling thunderclouds.
Death and salvation seemed to lie within...
In the distant Qingshi Town, Jiang Xiaobai sat on the Fiery Flame Tiger, weaving a sweater before Yang Shi's grave.
The ground trembled, wisps of green energy emanated from Yang Shi's grave.
Simultaneously, from Ding Zhen's grave in the Xuan Stone Sect, wisps of green energy also emerged.
This tremor grew in intensity, transforming into a colossal earthquake sweeping through the Danai Dynasty!
Strange auras drifted up from beneath the earth!
Yang Fujian watched it all, uncertain and awestruck.
Everything that happened today was filled with astonishment.
He didn't understand.
After thinking for a moment, he called out in his spiritual sense:
Yang Genshuo felt very comfortable at home, but soon his parents became anxious, urging him to quickly return to Shimen City, otherwise everyone would be there and it wouldn't do for the boss not to show up.
What if the company goes bust?
Yang Genshuo explained helplessly that this boss and the daily operation of the company didn't relate to him, and he didn't need to be in the office.
But faced with his parents' insistence, he was forcibly sent back to Shimen City on the eighth.
Guo Xiaozhi, on the other hand, had been eager to return home.
Because how could this county town compare to the enticing charm of the provincial capital...
On the way back, the two chatted from the last outbreak of the apocalypse, continuing to banter...
"I feel like the zombies in movies aren't very powerful, not even as good as a fetal breathing stage demon beast... Modern weapons can easily take them down, it would at least take foundation establishment stage zombies to threaten the humans now."
"Hahaha~ Fetal Breathing Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage, Brother Shuo you've been reading Immortal Cultivation novels during the New Year way too engrossedly!"
As the two talked, Yang Genshuo suddenly sensed a tremor in his divine sense.
Even though he hadn't checked for ages, only half a month had passed in the Immortal Cultivation World.
"Xiao Jian, what's wrong?"
"Ancestor, look at the sky and the earth..."
"Such immense demon energy!"
Yang Genshuo was shocked!
How many from the Demon Clan does it take to gather such vast demon energy!
After briefly understanding the situation, he covertly instructed Yang Fujian to scout around Devil Wind Forest, catching sight from a distance of the newly opened space channel to the Demon Realm, observing the black glow shining upon it, magic power surging, his face falling.
"This is bad! The Night Demon Palace had another trick up their sleeve! They can reopen the barrier of the Demon Realm!"
"The Demon Clan... is launching a full-scale invasion!"
Nobody had anticipated this!
"Wait, why is it constantly shaking? It seems something underground is growing?"
As Yang Genshuo surveyed the surrounding area of his descendants in the Danai Dynasty, he was surprised to discover... Geological transformations occurring rapidly, strange things he had never seen before growing from underground.
"What's inside this gate? An ancient... Secret Realm?"
Seeing this, he was taken aback!
In the Dragon God Immortal Palace, Yang Fu was playing chess with the Demon Fox.
Without AlphaGo's help, Yang Fu surprisingly matched evenly with the Demon Fox, unable to determine a winner for a long time.
Demon Fox: "Weren't you planning to go to the Danai Dynasty? How do you have time to play chess with me?"
Yang Fu: "The issue there has been resolved, they don't need me anymore..."
Even though they were victorious, Yang Fu remained disheartened these days because... Yang Shi had died, and he wasn't there.
"I've cultivated all these skills, but when my family needed me... I wasn't by their side, sigh..."
If he had been present in that battle, perhaps his father Yang Shi wouldn't have died.
"That's fate, in life things don't go well ten times out of nine, don't I wish to see my tribe? Five thousand years have passed... I wonder if they're doing well in the Demon Realm? If you go over, I would kindly ask you to see if you can meet my descendants..."
"Oh~~ I remember twenty years ago you said, if I meet your tribe, protecting them wouldn't be a problem, I've already informed my father about it, if there's the Fox Demon Clan, they would likely take care of them."
"Treat my descendants well, you will undoubtedly benefit, if destined to join as a Daoist couple... it will enrich you through life."
"Because we Fox Demons recognize only one Daoist couple for a lifetime... Once chosen it's forever, even unto death, protecting them. Back then my Daoist couple was also a handsome member of the Human Clan... Just as handsome as your Dragon Tamer son."
"You ended up this way because back then you protected him..."
"No...[love throughout lifetimes]."
