The cultivators of Caxton Continent fought desperately amidst the toxic mist. One by one, their protective artifacts exploded, and screams echoed throughout the battlefield.
Emre's foil sword was snapped in half by a bone sword, and a deep gash opened across his chest, exposing bone.
Aisha's spear had been almost completely corroded. She stumbled and fell to the ground, barely dodging the massive foot of a skeleton giant that nearly crushed her.
Nilou's Grand Lotus Array had shattered. Coughing up blood, she was swept away by the black mist, but not before she hurled a charm toward Jared with the last of her strength.
As soon as Jared caught the charm, a torrent of information surged into his mind.
It was an ancient sword technique passed down through Nilou's sect. To use it, one had to burn their blood essence, compressing all their spiritual energy into a three-inch blade of pure light, capable of cutting through any demonic force in existence.
But the cost was steep. Any cultivator who used it would have their life force drained to the brink, surviving only as an ordinary person.
“Let's do this!” Jared bit down hard on his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the Dragonslayer Sword.
The sword let out a humming roar like a dragon's cry. Unbelievably, its original three-foot longsword began to extend, growing until it became a brilliant beam a thousand feet long. Wherever its energy passed, it tore the dimension apart, leaving deep black gashes.
Just as the Bone Devourer Array was about to complete, Jared launched himself forward. The enormous sword in his hands slashed down with a momentum powerful enough to shake the heavens.
Malgor's laughter cut off abruptly. He scrambled to gather his demonic aura for defense, but the moment his aura met the light, his body began disintegrating, piece by piece.
All twelve skeleton giants exploded into clouds of bone dust. But Malgor, anchored at the core of the formation and a Half-Step Transcender demon lord in his own right, still had enough strength left to strike back.
His remaining arm suddenly swelled, morphing into a massive black claw aimed directly at Jared's heart.
At that critical moment, a rainbow flash burst from the Dragonslayer Sword.
“How dare you run wild, you mere demon lord!” Jared's voice boomed like thunder.
A golden dragon shadow roared out from the sword, colliding head-on with the claw. The resulting blast flattened everything within a fifty-kilometer radius, carving a vast crater into the earth.
When the dust settled, Malgor had vanished without a trace. Only a black token marked with strange runes remained.
