Chapter 578: Chapter 550: Sky Killing Appears Again

Long Jiuyuan, of course, is the older brother of Long Yueyou.

A natural genius, he was the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Long Family.

It only took him a little over a hundred years to go from Refining Energy to the Peak of God Transformation.

Unfortunately, due to the rarity of the Essence of Heaven and Earth, such a genius could only be trapped at the God Transformation Stage.

After more than a hundred more years, it wasn’t until today that he finally saw the dawn.

“Long Dao friend, may I ask where Brother Jiuyuan got the Essence of Heaven and Earth he used for the Unity-Path transformation?”

After a vigorous celebration, the cultivators present could not help but ask curiously.

Long Yueyou hesitated for a moment, but then he thought that everyone here was one of his own.

And since his brother had already successfully undergone the Unity-Path transformation, the existence of the Essence of Heaven and Earth was no longer a secret.

Looking at the curious and expectant eyes of the crowd, Long Yueyou eventually couldn’t resist the pride in his heart and slowly said: “It seems appropriate for it to be my brother’s Destiny!”

“He guarded the Sky-spirit State for more than thirty years and during a mission, he discovered a strange scene in a mountain.”

“The mountain looked no different from ordinary peaks, but inside, all the solid rocks had turned into a sticky, pitch-black mud.”

“The swamp emitted an ominous aura. Any creature that mistakenly entered, even magic tools or Taoist Technique attacks, would be swallowed, assimilated, and vanish without a trace.”

“In principle, any creature with the Spiritual sense in such a dangerous area should feel uneasy and avoid it subconsciously.”

“But my brother found something strange.”

Long Yueyou got to this point, then paused slightly.

Seemingly wanting to leave the crowd in suspense, he watched as the cultivators were all itching to know more. It was then that he felt content and continued to say, “All living creatures around the Black Swamp, like moths to a flame, competed to enter the swamp, even if it meant risking their lives.”

“Even cultivators are no exception. My brother, with his firm determination, could barely resist the urge to enter after staying near the Black Swamp for a long time.”

Some cultivators instantly reacted and exclaimed in surprise: “A deadly temptation…”

“Could it be that this Black Swamp is the Essence of Heaven and Earth?”

Long Yueyou nodded slightly: “That’s right! My brother thought of this at the time. He, who had been trapped at the God Transformation Stage for many years, was naturally overjoyed.”

“But he knew that the Essence of Heaven and Earth, as a manifestation of the laws, is really not easy to deal with. So, he forcibly resisted the agitation in his heart and retreated.”

“After he sealed the entrance of the mountain with a Secret Technique, he quietly returned to Celestial Spirit City.”

“Later, without alarming anyone, he spent half a month in secret preparation.”

“With everything ready, he then found another excuse to return to the mountains.”

“After sealing the surrounding mountains with the Array Technique to prevent outsiders from discovering, my brother attempted to attack the Black Swamp.”

“But just as before, all the attacks were like a futile effort, without causing any reaction.”

Long Yueyou squinted his eyes, seemingly recalling Long Jiuyuan’s narration: “For a whole three days, my brother tried various methods, but he couldn’t inflict any damage on the Black Swamp.”

“At this moment, remembering the scenes of being trapped at the God Transformation Stage for years, my brother finally made up his mind.”

“With a mindset of ‘if I fail, I am prepared to die’, he jumped into the Black Swamp!”

The cultivators present gasped at his words.

They wondered in their hearts: If it were them, they probably wouldn’t have the courage to do so.

Who knew what was in the Black Swamp? Jumping in like that, was it equivalent to courting death?

Even if the Unity-Path Transformation were not successful, with the God Transforming Cultivation Level, he could still dominate a region and enjoy power.

But once dead, nothing could be discussed.

Yet Long Jiuyuan, he just did it!

While everyone marveled, they also admired him from the bottom of their hearts.

“I’ve long heard that Long Jiuyuan is braver than most, beyond an ordinary person’s reach. Now it seems that the rumors have not only not exaggerated, but somewhat underestimated Brother Jiuyuan!”

“No wonder Brother Jiuyuan, with his God Transforming Cultivation Level, can be called a brother by many Unity Immortal Monarchs!”

“Hahaha, being able to call Brother Jiuyuan our brother is indeed an honor!”

…

Listening to the praises of Long Jiuyuan from the people in the field, Long Yueyou was also quite pleased with himself, feeling very proud.

After all, he and Long Jiuyuan were of the same mother, shared deep feelings, and were inseparable.

Praising Long Jiuyuan was the same as praising him, Long Yueyou!

After a while, Long Yueyou coughed lightly and continued to narrate, “After entering the Black Swamp, the protective magic tools on my brother’s body were consumed at a frightening speed.”

“You have to know this was something he specifically asked a Unity-Path friend who was good at Refining Tools to make.”

“If it were ordinary protective magic tools purchased from TianXuan Mirror, I’m afraid they would have been completely corroded by now.”

“With little safe time left, my brother, though surprised, was not at a loss. Instead of running around like a headless fly, he closed his eyes and calmed down to perceive the changes in the Black Swamp.”

“This Black Swamp is like the deepest, darkest ocean, with no signs of life other than my brother.”

“But my brother could faintly detect that in the Black Swamp, which should have been Death Silence, there were occasional wave-like vibrations from time to time.”

“It was as if there was something in the depths of the Black Swamp, churning around.”

“So, my brother followed this strand of vibration and explored deeper into the Black Swamp.”

“Heaven never seals off all exits. When the protective magic tools he prepared were almost completely consumed.”

“He finally found the source of the anomaly!”

At the most crucial moment, Long Yueyou suddenly stopped talking.

There was a hint of strangeness in his eyes, and then he lowered his voice and said to the crowd, “In the center of the Black Swamp, there was a vague shadow of a black figure.”

“Not a cultivator, but formed of twisted, murky black mud, a human-like object.”

“The Essence of Heaven and Earth!”

“But that’s not what shocked my brother the most. Because besides the Black Swamp, there was something else in front of him.”

Long Yueyou took a deep breath and revealed the answer.

“It seemed to be a Broken Sword. The overwhelming Sky-killing aura it contained, even my brother, who had killed countless Five Elders’ Monks, felt a sense of awe.”

“The Broken Sword was wildly struggling and darting around, and the Black Swamp had caged it in with its body!”

…

The Black Swamp turned into an ocean, caging the sword with its body!

The strange and mysterious scene described by Long Yueyou left everyone in shock.

They all speculated about the origin of the Broken Sword.

However, miles away, Li Fan, who was flying to a certain place, suddenly stopped.

“The Sky Slaughter Sword?!”
