Eternal Time and Space

Chapter 45 Kill Chain

Amidst the white bones, a blood-red ancient tree took root in the center of the mountain. The tree was hundreds of feet tall, its bark like congealed blood plasma. There were no leaves on its branches, only strings of blood-red fruits hanging from them. Each fruit was like a heart, beating slightly on the branch and emitting a dull thumping sound.

The Blood Tree of Ten Thousand Spirits is an innate spiritual root that nourishes itself with the flesh and blood of living beings. Its blood fruits can strengthen one's origin and replenish vitality.

It was thanks to this Blood Tree that the Devouring Gods and Demons were able to gradually replenish the essence lost during the Great Calamity of Creation.

Without a word, Mo Yun drew his Ten Bright Sword and cleaved the mountain in two. The sword light slashed down from the mountaintop, cutting the entire mountain in half from top to bottom.

The mountain's belly was exposed, and white bones poured out of the crack like a torrential rain. The Devouring God and Demon rushed out from the pile of bones, its body surging with dark red devouring power. Its eyes were full of shock and anger. With a wave of its hand, it created a huge black vortex.

The vortex spun wildly, trying to swallow Mo Yun whole.

Mo Yun's second sword strike landed, and the silver-white sword light poured in from the gaping maw of the Devouring God and Demon and emerged from the back of its head.

The Devouring God's Devouring Power was like paper before Mo Yun's sword light. The sword light pierced through, and the Devouring God's body froze on the spot, its body splitting into pieces starting from its head.

Mo Yun sheathed his sword, stepped into the mountain's belly, and uprooted the Myriad Spirit Blood Tree, storing it in the Milky Way Axis.

The moment the Blood Tree entered the painting, a crimson forest appeared in the Starry Sea world. The blood fruits on the tree became even redder under the starlight and throbbed more powerfully.

Among the devoured corpses, Mo Yun found two innate spiritual treasures: the God-Slaying Shuttle, entirely dark silver with a slender, needle-like body and a sharp edge at its tip designed to pierce the primordial spirit; and the Blood Gold Ruler, entirely crimson gold with dense blood-red patterns covering its body. A single stroke of the ruler could measure the life force of a living being and strip it from its body. Combined with the corpses of the Chaos Gods and Demons he had devoured, Mo Yun had reaped a rich harvest on this trip.

Mo Yun put the two innate spiritual treasures and the corpse of the Devouring God and Demon into the Milky Way Axis, turned around and left. The mountain belly behind him collapsed with a roar, burying the Devouring God and Demon's dojo along with those white bones.

The second is the Dark God and Demon.

The dojo of the Dark God and Demon is located in a land of eternal night on the edge of the Western Regions. Here, the sun never shines, and darkness is so solid that it condenses in the void, impenetrable even to light.

The dark gods and demons hid in the deepest part of this eternal night, transforming into a formless mass of darkness, merging with the eternal night.

Mo Yun stepped into the eternal night, and darkness surged in from all directions, trying to devour him.

Mo Yun, with a cold expression, unfolded the Milky Way axis, and the light of the sun, moon and stars poured out from the scroll, like a real sun rising in the eternal night.

The darkness, illuminated by starlight, melted away layer by layer like snow under the blazing sun. The eternal night was forced back by the starlight, and the figures of the dark gods and demons were revealed from the depths of the eternal night, transforming into a darkness that even starlight could not penetrate.

Mo Yun slashed down with his sword, the sword light cutting through the darkness and splitting the true form of the dark god and demon in two.

The dark god-demon let out a silent scream, its countless tentacles flailing wildly, trying to merge back together.

But Mo Yun's second sword followed closely, shattering the darkness once more. The third, fourth, and fifth swords crisscrossed in the eternal night, slicing the dark demon's body into countless fragments.

After the fall of the Dark God and Demon, two innate spiritual treasures were left behind: the Black Sky Banner, whose surface is as black as ink, and when unfolded, it can transform into an eternal night sky, where light cannot enter, sound cannot travel, and divine sense cannot probe; and the Flying Smoke Sword, whose blade is as thin as smoke, and when swung, the sword light transforms into black smoke, and wherever the smoke passes, everything melts away silently.

Mo Yun took away the two innate spiritual treasures and drained the Eternal Night Land as well, storing it into the Milky Way Axis.

As the eternal night dissipated, the western border region saw the first light of day.

Next is the God of Weapons, whose dojo is a sword mound filled with divine weapons, containing the weapons of countless opponents he defeated.

Mo Yun cleaved open the Sword Tomb with a single sword strike, exchanging three blows with the God of War amidst the myriad swords. With the first strike, Mo Yun shattered the God of War's 100,000 divine weapons. With the second strike, Mo Yun severed the God of War's right arm. With the third strike, Mo Yun's Ten Bright Swords pierced through the God of War's brow, pinning him to the whetstone deep within the Sword Tomb.

The god of war fell, leaving behind a primordial spiritual treasure, the Myriad Weapons Map. When the scroll is unfurled, myriad weapons resound in unison, swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks, countless divine weapons rising and falling within the scroll.

He sealed away gods and demons; his dojo was a prison constructed of sealing power, where countless beings he had sealed away were suppressed.

Mo Yun cleaved open the prison with a single sword strike, and the Demon God emerged from its depths, roaring as its boundless sealing power transformed into chains, attempting to imprison Mo Yun.

Mo Yun let the chains bind him, and the Ten Bright Swords slashed down. The sword light passed through the gaps in the chains and severed the head of the sealed demon god.

The sealing chains crumbled inch by inch, the prison collapsed with a roar, and the creatures that had been suppressed for countless years crawled out of the ruins, staring blankly at the sky.

When the gods and demons who sealed the seal perished, they left behind a primordial spiritual treasure, the Heaven-Sealing Seal. It was pure white, with a coiled Pixiu as its knob and numerous seal characters engraved on its surface.

He can transform into gods and demons; his dojo is a constantly changing illusion. In this illusion, he transforms into the form of Mo Yun, Hong Jun, Rahu, and Pangu.

Mo Yun stepped into the illusion and, looking at the phantom that looked exactly like himself, expressionlessly slashed down with his sword.

The golden-clad youth, who was actually a demon in disguise, was cleaved in two by a single sword strike. The illusion shattered, and Mo Yun pierced the core of the demon with his sword.

The God of Change frantically shifted its form, trying to break free from the sword's edge, but no matter what it transformed into, the Ten Bright Sword remained firmly embedded in its core. In the end, the God of Change stopped changing, turning into a pool of colorless liquid that slowly evaporated.

The god of transformation perished, leaving behind a primordial spiritual treasure, the Myriad Transformations Mirror, which can transform into many primordial spiritual treasures. Although its power has been somewhat weakened, it is still quite interesting.

One after another, chaotic gods and demons were slain by Mo Yun. These ancient beings who had survived the great calamity of creation were found one by one by Mo Yun and then swiftly and decisively killed.

Devouring Gods and Demons, Dark Gods and Demons, Gods and Demons of Weapons, Gods and Demons of Sealing, Gods and Demons of Transformation, Gods and Demons of Binding... These chaotic gods and demons did not understand why Mo Yun wanted to kill them. They had no grudge against Mo Yun, and some of them had never even seen Mo Yun before. But they all understood one thing: with Mo Yun's current strength, he far surpassed them. They had no power to resist Mo Yun alone.

The Plague God and Demon is the thirteenth. His dojo is located in a swamp deep in the Eastern Region. The swamp is filled with dark green poisonous miasma, in which countless poisonous insects, snakes, and scorpions breed and thrive.

Mo Yun cleaved through the poisonous miasma with a single sword strike, and the sword light of the Ten Bright Swords evaporated the Plague God and Demon along with his poisonous swamp.
