This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable Chapter 1754 - 6: Seeking the Limits of Mountain and Sea_2

Should Luohu remain hidden, the vast Mountains and Seas must be scoured completely.

This stands as Lu Qingshan's unyielding conviction.

That day, however, he halted abruptly.

A enormous chasm yawned open directly below him.

Inside that chasm stretched an abyss of endless depth.

From it gushed ceaseless demonic qi, cloaking the stars and casting the heavens into gloom.

Buried deep below the surface lay a enormous, secret demonic cavern.

Even Lu Qingshan's steadfast composure wavered at this moment, his heart stirring with unease from the torrent of demonic qi and the ominous destructive surges gathering in the depths.

"Finally.... I have found you," he declared.

Luohu had truly been lurking inside the Black Armor Domain.

In a flash, the shroud of darkness was savagely ripped asunder.

Two demonic figures detected the intrusion, surging upward from the cavern, each bearing Luohu's likeness.

"You are quite bothersome indeed," uttered Luohu and his incarnation, the pair of demonic shadows fixing their gaze on Lu Qingshan in perfect sync.

"However, you are still a step too late," Luohu's incarnation stated coolly, though a taunting smirk crept across his lips, unperturbed by his sanctuary's exposure.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Across the barren wasteland, Lu Qingshan caught the rhythm of a heartbeat.

Yet it did not pulse from his own chest.

Rather.

It thundered from up ahead.

Luohu's incarnation bared his torso.

A mighty, resonant heartbeat boomed from deep inside him.

Demonic patterns snaked across Luohu's incarnation's chest like twisting vines, thickly entwining over it before creeping outward to blanket his skin, etching a cryptic, elaborate pattern reminiscent of battle markings.

Not mere battle markings, but the vivid expression of Abyssal Laws.

Thump! Thump!

Each throb made Luohu's incarnation's chest rise and fall subtly.

Then, tremendous power and vigor flooded outward like crashing waves, while limitless demonic qi erupted, swallowing the entire realm.

"Heart of the Demon Holy," Luohu's incarnation gestured toward his heaving chest and proclaimed: "Lu Qingshan, you've come too late, the Heart of the Demon Holy is already formed."

Lu Qingshan's face betrayed no hint of alteration.

All he recognized was the foe standing directly before him.

Suddenly, Lu Qingshan grinned—a savage, untamed grin.

With that grin, the Power of the Mountains and Seas, bottled up inside him for an unknown span, burst free uncontrollably, detonating like a volcano's fury.

The Power of the Mountains and Seas possessed a gentle essence by nature, yet even the softest force turns ferocious when overwhelmingly vast and restrained for too long.

It can grow fiercer than any power born of innate savagery.

——The wrath of the steadfast soul proves the most fearsome.

Boom!

Seven life-bound swords ascended on the gales, fueled by this rampaging force, howling fiercely ahead.

The sky and land drained of vibrancy.

Seven sword rainbows blazed with matchless splendor and radiance, annihilating all in their wake as they barreled toward Luohu.

This abrupt, horrifying barrage twisted the expressions of both Luohus.

Undoubtedly, they grasped the horrifying potency packed into Lu Qingshan's assault.

The two Luohus unleashed their core energies at once; each commanded nine powers of the Heavenly Dragon, making eighteen in total that harmonized powerfully, as endless demonic qi billowed upward like signal fires, manifesting a colossal demon dragon.

The demon dragon lunged viciously, smashing into Lu Qingshan's seven sword rainbows.

The ground quaked, peaks shuddered, and the void fractured repeatedly.

At once, the demon dragon contorted and crumbled visibly to the eye—fierce to the end, yet it burst apart like a fragile bubble in a single breath.

The sword rainbows' force remained undiminished, surging relentlessly at Luohu.

Sword radiance blazed brilliantly.

The six eyes of the twin Luohus overflowed with dazzling glare.

"Ordinary moves really can't stop you now."

Having watched Lu Qingshan covertly for ages, Luohu harbored no astonishment.

"Go ahead, fellow Daoist," Luohu's incarnation urged.

The very next instant, Luohu's primary form reacted, its Divine Demon Body igniting fully.

His physique swelled inch by inch, brutal magical energy surging through every muscle fiber—as if a single finger might pulverize a mountain, a lone hair strand cleave a river.

Luohu's true form bridged the gulf between heaven and earth, exerting all efforts to halt the adversary's deadly onslaught.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Yet Lu Qingshan's seven life-bound swords stood utterly unbreakable, amplified by the Power of Mountains and Seas, their destructive potential boundless.

Even amid his furious roars and with demonic light enveloping his body, the radiant sword rainbow still pierced straight through Luohu's true form's Divine Demon Body, rendering all defenses futile.

Blood sprayed out in massive waves.

Luohu's crimson blood outshone the glow of the blood moon completely.

Heavy strikes landed on Luohu's true form—his limbs, abdomen, head, and heart all took devastating hits.

Though invincible, the Divine Demon Body shattered anyway, leaving his form in ruins as Lu Qingshan's sword intent surged endlessly through his flesh, halting any healing and carving even deeper gashes.

Going on like this, his fleshly body will surely crumble completely in the end.

"Strong, strong, very strong—without becoming Demon Holy, I'm definitely no match for you," yet in this dire moment, Luohu's incarnation bearing the Heart of Demon Holy cheered with childlike joy, "Good thing I have you; without you, ascending to sainthood would be far too boring!"

"Still, this isn't the ideal moment for our fight—let's hold off a bit longer, and once I fully become Demon Holy, I'll gladly clash with you properly."

While the Heart of Demon Holy had taken shape, Luohu still lacked that one final step to true ascension as Demon Holy—the forging of the Demon Holy's physical body.
