Chapter 1668: Chapter 164 Demon Butterfly Heart Mark

"Brother Shen is skilled in swordsmanship and the staff technique; Tianyan Palace’s legacy will indeed not be fully utilized in your hands. However, since you have passed the trial of Tianyan Immortal Venerable, it would be unreasonable for there to be no reward. This Tianyan True Scripture is for you; it contains the lifelong insights of Tianyan Immortal Venerable into the Yan Technique. How much you understand from it will depend on your fate and fortune." Zhou Tie nodded, took out a white jade plate the size of a palm, and handed it to Shen Luo.

"That Blood Claw Stab is an object from the Tianyan Palace, now sealed inside the Free and Easy Mirror. Should I take it out?" Shen Luo was startled but did not refuse. After thanking Zhou Tie, he took the jade plate with both hands and asked.

"That item was sent here many years ago unexpectedly; it is not an object from the Tianyan Palace. Moreover, considering You Quan’s eagerness for the Blood Claw Stab, keeping it here will only attract members of the Demon Clan. My strength is currently weak, so it would be better to trouble Brother Shen to take it with him." Zhou Tie hurriedly spoke with the demeanor of someone eager to discard a hot potato.

"That’s fine." Shen Luo nodded.

The Blood Claw Stab had connections to Chiyou; he couldn’t rest easy leaving it here.

"Now that matters of the Tianyan Palace have concluded, we should also depart. Cai Zhu and I initially entered the Celestial Secret Realm through this Tianyan Palace; if we wish to leave, we fear we might have to pass through here. I wonder if Brother Zhou has a way to transport Cai Zhu and me out of the Celestial Secret Realm?" Shen Luo said.

"Just now, when I was refining the Tower of Tianyan, I sensed a spatial rift appear in a certain part of the first layer of Tianyan Palace that seems to be connected to the outside. You and Brother Nie, as well as Che Qingtian, must have entered this Tianyan Palace through there. Through that spatial rift, you should be able to be transported out, but I have not yet fully refined the prohibitions of the first layer of Tianyan Palace; we’ll need to wait a little longer." Zhou Tie said.

"No problem, I have some matters to attend to anyway." Shen Luo said.

...

On the third layer of Tianyan Palace’s Lava River, Shen Luo sat cross-legged in the void, forming sword seals with his hands.

Eleven Pure Yang Swords sped across the surface of the river, each one accompanied by a sword spirit, four more than before.

The sword spirits of these four swords were three Golden Crows and one fiery steed, the Profound Fire Divine Steed itself.

The Profound Fire Divine Steed’s physical body had been destroyed by Destruction Mingwang earlier, leaving only its divine soul, which Shen Luo obtained from Zhou Tie and refined into a sword spirit.

As for the Enlightened Heavenly Beast and the Shadow War Leopard, they were still under the command of the Tower of Tianyan. Zhou Tie’s current strength was not strong and he still needed the protection of the two beasts.

In fact, Zhou Tie was a direct descendant disciple of Tianyan Immortal Venerable and not an evil person. The Enlightened Heavenly Beast willingly followed, and although the Shadow War Leopard was reluctant to stay, Zhou Tie had refined the Tower of Tianyan and it had no choice but to submit.

The eleven sword spirits were all devouring the golden flame on the river’s surface to increase their strength.

Seeing this, Shen Luo nodded, stopped forming seals, and let the swords devour the golden flame by themselves, while his figure flickered into the Free and Easy Mirror.

Fire Spirit Child was still using the Hunyuan Wuji Formation to imprison Wu Luo. Wu Luo showed no signs of recovery; on the contrary, his breath was even weaker.

Nie Caizhu stood by the array, constantly using restorative divine abilities on Wu Luo, trying her best to stabilize his condition.

"My vital essence was devoured by that Blood Claw Stab, and I won’t live much longer. You don’t need to be so wary of me; just ask whatever you want." Upon seeing Shen Luo’s arrival, Wu Luo spoke hoarsely.

Shen Luo was slightly taken aback by this scene.

He had captured Wu Luo intending to question him about the Demon Clan and the Blood Claw Stab, thinking the demon would not cooperate. He had prepared corresponding arguments and methods, but he did not expect Wu Luo to volunteer information before he even asked, which truly surprised him.

"Friend Wu Luo, your attitude does indeed surprise me." Shen Luo sat down by the Array, smiling as he spoke.

"If it were just you asking me, I wouldn’t have said a word, but Brother Nie previously saved my life from the Blood Claw Stab and spared my divine soul from being eternally shackled by the sacred artifact, never to be transcended. Out of respect for her, I’ll answer a few of your questions. Spit it out quickly if you have anything to say," Wu Luo spoke coldly.

"So that’s how it is. Friend Wu Luo, I heard you mention that the Blood Claw Stab is Chiyou’s life-bound sacred artifact. Is that really true?" Shen Luo went straight to the point without any niceties and asked.

"Of course, it’s true. I knew Chiyou since ancient times and would never misidentify it, especially since the Blood Claw Stab contains Chiyou’s Ten Directions Demon Prison Dao Divine Abilities. In the entire Demon Clan, only Chiyou has mastered this divine power," Wu Luo said.

"Chiyou is currently sealed by the mighty ones of the Three Realms. Why would his life-bound sacred artifact appear here?" Shen Luo frowned upon hearing this and then asked.

"I’ve been locked up in the Celestial Secret Realm for who knows how many years and am ignorant of the outside world. How could I possibly know? This Blood Claw Stab suddenly fell here from the outside a hundred years ago. If you want to know, go investigate slowly after you get out," Wu Luo said irritably.

Shen Luo didn’t get angry, but after musing silently for a moment, he carefully phrased his question: "Years ago, I encountered two Demonic Artifacts outside. One was a Blood-colored Bone Staff, and the other was a Blood Color Bone Flute. By their aura, they are nearly identical to the Blood Claw Stab, and they were stored in the deepest part of the Black Abyss Mystery Cave in the Boundless Sand Sea, and inside the East Sea Dragon Palace, respectively. At the time, powerful masters from the Demon Clan also came to snatch them and took them back. In your opinion, could those two Demonic Artifacts also be Chiyou’s life-bound sacred artifacts?"

"What! There are two more of Chiyou’s life-bound sacred artifacts? Did you see them clearly? Are they really identical to the Blood Claw Stab?" Wu Luo’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and she asked with a serious tone.

"Although my cultivation level is not high, I have some discernment and believe that I would not have mistaken them," Shen Luo nodded, speaking with certainty.

"How is that possible? Chiyou has been sealed by the Yellow Emperor since ancient times, and even though he has already achieved immortality, he must be extremely weak. How could his essence and blood be split to refine three life-bound sacred artifacts?" Wu Luo murmured to herself.

Seeing Wu Luo in such a state, Shen Luo knew she was onto something important and watched her closely.

"Three life-bound sacred artifacts, three... Could it be..." Wu Luo’s eyes suddenly widened as if she had thought of something.

However, at that moment, a butterfly-like demonic pattern emerged on her brow, bursting forth with a swath of black light.

"Demon Butterfly Heart Mark!" Shen Luo’s expression changed, and he reached out with a grab into the void.

Five streams of golden flame shot out from his fingertips, the True Solar Fire, aimed at the Demon Butterfly Heart Mark.

But before the True Solar Fire could reach it, the black light of the Demon Butterfly Heart Mark dimmed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wu Luo’s breath dissipated entirely, and her body fell to the ground, eyes still wide open.

Fire Spirit Child and Nie Cai Zhu’s bodies shimmered with light, also trying to use their techniques to stop the Demon Butterfly Heart Mark, but, regrettably, they were too late.

"The demonic pattern just now was indeed the Demon Butterfly Heart Mark. It seems that someone noticed Wu Luo was about to reveal important news and immediately activated the Demon Butterfly Heart Mark to silence her. But when was this demonic seal planted?" Fire Spirit Child said angrily.

"It must have been when You Quan and the others controlled the Blood Claw Stab to backlash using the Demonic Array. It seems that what Wu Luo thought of is extremely important." Shen Luo was not too enraged, his gaze turning towards the depth of the Free and Easy Mirror.

The Demonslaying Divine Sword was slanted there, a Golden Thunder Veil forming around it, securely imprisoning the Blood Claw Stab in the middle.

From Wu Luo’s reaction, this Blood Claw Stab is related to very important secrets. Once we leave this place, I need to find a way to unravel it.
