This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

"What is this guy trying to do?!" Gu Yiyi's wailing voice echoed in Lu Qingshan's mind.

Because Qing Ge sneered sinisterly, just like he had swallowed the Dragon Sparrow earlier, he directly tossed Oblivion into his own mouth.

He had also realized that although Oblivion was "inferior" to the Dragon Sparrow, it was still a Divine Weapon, thus it was greatly to his taste.

It was true that he had lost a drop of Undying Demon Blood, but he had also swallowed two such outstanding Divine Weapons, which would bring a qualitative improvement to "Black Blood."

Everything was worthwhile!

Although he could have taken these two Divine Weapons into his possession without any cost under the supervision of Pu Qu Demon Marshal, if he hadn't insisted on "playing" with Lu Qingshan,

But things had already happened, and he could only comfort himself in his heart.

After swallowing Oblivion, Qing Ge did not stop, but laughed heartily and charged towards Lu Qingshan.

He was 99% sure that Lu Qingshan was near the end of his strength, but after two previous reversals of the situation, he now felt like a frightened bird, no longer daring to underestimate Lu Qingshan's relentless tricks.

Besides, he had already played his last card and couldn't afford even the slightest mishap.

Lu Qingshan, he was afraid!

Qing Ge aimed to cleanly twist off Lu Qingshan's head.

His speed was incredibly fast, almost like teleporting, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Lu Qingshan.

In the moment he struck, he and Lu Qingshan exchanged brief eye contact.

He saw a light.

Reflected in Lu Qingshan's dark pupils was a dazzling radiance.

Hmm?

In his astonishment, Qing Ge suddenly felt as if he had been fiercely struck by a rod, a strange pain throbbed in his abdomen, and his entire body's demonic power started to congeal.

His figure stiffened, then he slowly lowered his head to look at his abdomen.

At his abdomen, covered in dark golden Secret Patterns, a faint blue light shone through, erupting with terrifying sounds, constant thundering, booming like a volcanic eruption or a sky-shaking tsunami.

This was the location of his "Refining Furnace."

What is... going on?

Qing Ge's eyes widened.

The faint blue light spots initially were just a few, but they quickly spread and multiplied.

That was Sword Light!

Qing Ge finally figured out the situation.

How could there be Sword Light inside my body?

His confusion was not resolved.

The Sword Light erupted like a massive wave.

Qing Ge had a robust physical body with amazing defensive power, but that was only against external attacks; the Sword Light erupting from inside his body did not help at all.

Moments later, Qing Ge's newly healed body was riddled with thousands of holes, with Sword Qi gushing out of them.

"I hate this.....!"

Qing Ge let out a final cry of despair before his body exploded in the air into a cloud of blood mist, not even leaving behind any fragments.

The third son of the Ao Ren Demon Clan, Qing Ge, dead!

......

......

As the blood mist dispersed, three long swords appeared in the air.

It was the previously consumed Oblivion and Dragon Sparrow along with Qing Ge's Demon Weapon, Black Blood.

"Waaaa!" Gu Yiyi completely forgot it was a sword, as it sobbed and directed Oblivion to transform into a beam of Sword Light, its tip aiming forward as it charged into Lu Qingshan's embrace wanting a hug, "Lu Qingshan, it's so dark and stinky in there!"

"You've worked hard." Lu Qingshan struggled to twitch his lips, his mind moving, he stopped Gu Yiyi's "assassination" of the Sword Master.

The "Refining Furnace" Divine Skill allowed the War Demon Clan to have the ability to refine all Magic Artifacts in the world.

As long as the War Demons could swallow a Magic Artifact, they could refine it, the issue was only the length of time.

However, as a Divine Artifact of the Netherworld and the former controller of Oblivion's great river's Divine Power, it possessed a very special Divine Skill.

[Soul Purification] (Passive): No Divine Skill can destroy a sword forged by the will of the world.

The "Refining Furnace" Divine Skill, meant to refine thousands of Magic Artifacts, met the absolutely indestructible Soul Purification Divine Skill to see which was more powerful.

Obviously, on this front, Oblivion won outright.

The strongest fortress is often breached from within.

Having swallowed Oblivion and unable to do anything about it, Qing Ge ultimately trapped himself, dying without ever understanding what had happened—after all, in the long history of the War Demons, there had never been a War Demon "refined" to death by the "Refining Furnace."

......

Yet Lu Qingshan did not feel the slightest joy of having survived a catastrophe.

"Yitian, Yitian..." Lu Qingshan called out repeatedly.

Normally, the response "My lord, I am here" would immediately follow, but it was slow to come this time.

Oblivion was intact, vibrant and lively, but the Dragon Sparrow, earlier swallowed by Qing Ge, together with "Black Blood," fell to the ground with a clang, motionless.

The originally bright red body of the Dragon Sparrow was now half stained with a glaring dark black.

Black and red intersected, extremely glaring.

A rich and turbid Demonic Qi lingered over the Dragon Sparrow, like a stubborn disease, impossible to dispel.
