"Demons are actually this cunning?!"
"And they have so many life-saving abilities."
Jiang Fan remained expressionless, showing no emotions to avoid letting the other party detect anything.
He had encountered far too few demons, with no real understanding of the extent of their abilities.
Originally, he thought that by destroying the demon’s physical form, he had killed the Soul Devourer.
Unexpectedly, the other party still had a split soul.
And it had transformed into the Artifact Spirit of the Divine Wood Sword.
If it weren’t for a hint from fate, he might not have noticed this at all.
No wonder in the Ancient Era, so many great forces faced repeated setbacks.
The enemy could alter memories and conceal identities; no one knew if those around them were enemies or friends.
Be slightly careless, and one would fall into an ambush.
How could one possibly achieve victory under such circumstances?
However, since he had uncovered the enemy’s identity, it was no longer worth mentioning.
Boom~~
Thinking of this, without a second thought, Jiang Fan immediately took out the Demon-Vibrating Bell from his person.
He infused it with the boundless Primordial Magical Power from his body, fully activating this Magical Treasure.
Instantly, countless Demon-Vanquishing Runes on the Demon-Vibrating Bell lit up, resembling a supreme scripture, with faint Daoist sounds emanating from it.
Clang~~ Clang~~
In an instant, the power of the Demon-Vibrating Bell erupted suddenly, striking towards the Divine Wood Sword.
"Brat, what do you think you’re doing?!"
The Divine Wood Sword’s expression changed dramatically, completely not expecting that this human Cultivator would suddenly attack it.
Could it be that this guy had unraveled its true identity?!
But that should be impossible.
As its split soul had long fused with the Divine Wood Sword, becoming the Artifact Spirit of this Magical Treasure.
Even the Great Powers of the Ancient Era couldn’t uncover its identity.
"What’s going on?"
The Array Spirit Burial was also stunned, not expecting this human Cultivator to suddenly attack the Divine Wood Sword.
There should be no hatred between them; why was this human Cultivator doing this? What exactly happened?
And even if it wanted to intervene to stop it, it was too late; the guy’s speed was simply too fast.
"What am I doing?!"
"Demon, at a glance, I can tell you are not human."
"Dare to deceive me, prepare to die."
Jiang Fan was filled with killing intent, unleashing the full power of the Demon-Vibrating Bell.
Horrific Demon-Vanquishing Sounds erupted, causing ripples in the void, sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, imbued with terrifying destructive power.
Moreover, this was an attack specifically targeting the soul.
With just one strike, it hit the Divine Wood Sword.
"Ah!"
The Divine Wood Sword immediately emitted a heart-rending scream, its originally fragile soul instantly shattering.
At this moment, it could no longer bother to hide itself, or rather, even if it wanted to, it couldn’t conceal itself at all.
The originally green Treasure Sword was now invaded by dark energy, turning into a black sword, emanating demonic energy with numerous demonic runes appearing on it.
"Is there really a problem with this Divine Wood Sword?"
"No way, could this be the Demon Sword, what exactly happened?"
The Array Spirit Burial was utterly shaken; it felt that its years of memories had completely collapsed.
Years of life-and-death companionship,
Who could have thought the other party was actually a Demon Sword, imbued with demonic energy?
"Damned human,"
"When exactly did you discover my secrets?"
The Soul Devourer emitted a heart-wrenching scream, trying to find out where exactly it had revealed its flaw.
Clearly, it had disguised itself perfectly.
Even the Array Spirit Burial couldn’t detect it, considering it a long-standing life-and-death comrade.
Who could have thought that this human before it could instantly uncover its identity?
This left it utterly baffled, not knowing how its flaw was discovered.
"You don’t need to know."
"Just obediently die."
Jiang Fan naturally wasn’t foolish enough to answer this question; speaking would inevitably reveal his own secrets.
Only a completely dead enemy is a truly good enemy.
He continued unleashing the power of the Demon-Vibrating Bell, making this Magical Treasure resonate continuously, releasing terrifying Demon-Vanquishing Sounds.
For demons, this was a particularly restraining power.
"You dare to kill me, you won’t meet a good end."
"Even if you annihilate me, you definitely won’t escape death."
"Wait, I will wait for the day you die."
The Soul Devourer let out a sorrowful roar.
Now, even if it wanted to struggle in its last moments, it was impossible.
In just an instant, its remaining split soul was also completely destroyed, turning into ashes.
With a clang, the black long sword fell to the ground, shattering, completely losing its spirituality.
"Wait, my memories?"
"My memories were altered by this guy?"
"So from start to finish, there was only ever me holding back the demon."
"This Divine Wood Sword was indeed the Soul Devourer in disguise."
As the Soul Devourer died, the Array Spirit Burial’s face twisted in pain, and the Illusion Technique imposed on it completely dissipated at this moment, the original memories returning in full.
Amid the long years of suppressing demons, the Array Spirit Burial grew weary in both body and soul, seeing no hope, no future, thus birthing a Heart Demon, wishing for a companion for mutual support.
The Soul Devourer saw this, spending some power to split off a part of its soul.
It also found a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure long devoid of an Artifact Spirit, then infused its soul into this Magical Treasure, transforming into the Artifact Spirit of this Magical Treasure.
