But Song Yan's right hand had already swung the Profound Dragon Sword.

Swish!

The Demon Mother seemed to recognize the power of his sword and quickly raised her chains to avoid direct contact between her chains and the sword. Her sinister eyes fixed on the sword in Song Yan's hand as she jeered, "Boy, where did you get that sword? Hand it over to me, and I'll leave you a whole corpse."

Song Yan slashed the air with his sword and smirked. The Demon Mother just thought she had the upper hand, hence was trash-talking.

He couldn't be bothered to respond because behind the temporarily repelled Demon Mother, the Fire Demon Dragon was rushing in at high speed.

He shouted fiercely and swung his sword once more to confront it.

A lone boat in the Sea of Suffering, sailing on top of the bizarre and vast Buddha's Sound. One foot of the youth stepping at the back of the boat, another at the front, holding a long sword in his hand, swaying left and right. The gleaming sword light clashed with the Demon Dragon and Demon Mother that attacked ceaselessly and seamlessly from the sea like a sudden tempest of rain.

The little boat swayed and drifted, the ocean currents chaotic and indescribable. Song Yan no longer knew where he was, and all he could understand was to observe carefully for flaws in these two life forms of the Sea of Suffering before him, planning to take one down even at the cost of injury.

In theory, killing the Demon Mother first was best, as she wasn't his match. But the Demon Mother was extremely fast, often pulling out heavy illusions in the Sea of Suffering; whereas the Fire Demon Dragon, though relatively slower, was immensely powerful. Every attack forced Song Yan to raise his hand to resist. Their partnership of one fast, one slow, one fierce, one gentle was extremely coordinated.

Along with the lurking Demon Infants in the sea, the eerie chanting and wooden fish sounds beneath his feet, and the unrestrainedly flowing seawater of the Sea of Suffering, the shadows of strange structures faintly looming in the depths of the water, he had to be tens of thousands of degrees cautious at every moment.

...

...

As the battle continued, Song Yan increasingly felt a sense of inexplicable burden in the Sea of Suffering's environment on his body. The previously invincible body Divine Soul here appeared stubbornly rigid. Because all the Life Energy his body Divine Soul emitted was luring the obsessions in the Sea of Suffering to the extreme. Originally, it was shielded by the Evil Treasure, so it was nothing, but now in battle, the Evil Treasure beneath his feet could no longer fully cover him, causing his aura to flood out uncontrollably, as if blood flowing out in a sea of man-eating sharks...

The Fire Demon Dragon's heavy eyelid over its dragon eyes lifted slightly, its eyes suddenly tightening, reflecting an image of Song Yan soaring in the air due to an attack.

It took a deep breath, its entire body blazing red.

Soon after, the obsessions in front of it, filled with a great volume of the Sea of Suffering's seawater, abruptly transformed into a cannon, blasting towards Song Yan in mid-air.

Song Yan intended to dodge, but his pupils quickly contracted, for within the charging seawater of the Sea of Suffering, there lingered a force familiar yet strange to him.

'It's Soul Burst!!!'

This Soul Burst here was terrifically terrifying.

'No... seems like Soul Burst, but isn't Soul Burst!'

In the air, the Demon Mother giggled: "Boy, never tasted Karmic Fire, have you? Feel it now."

As she spoke, she did not idle but dragged the empty chains around, preparing for a sneak attack.

Hiss!

Hiss hiss hiss!!

An unimaginable scene unfolded before Song Yan. The dark obsessions seawater violently cracked open, transforming from a thick solid state into a dispersing burning state in an instant, becoming a turbulent black fire.

The black fire roared towards Song Yan, who hurriedly dodged but found nowhere to hide, for Karmic Fire was a relentless, soul-hunting flame!

Swish!

A flash of sword light.

The black Karmic Fire split in two, brushing past Song Yan's body.

Snap!

The boat-shaped Evil Treasure beneath his feet had already entirely incinerated.

In the instant before falling into the seawater, he stomped on the water, causing the sea, composed of countless obsessions, to depress and burst downwards as he transformed into light with his sword, slashing toward the Demon Mother.

The Demon Mother, still contemplating a sneak attack, never expected Song Yan, in the first moment of falling into the sea, would neither recover nor re-summon the Evil Treasure but rather fight recklessly with her, hence reacting a half-beat slower.

But she still hurriedly lifted the shackles, aiming to chain Song Yan's sword, giggling, "This sword, I'm taking it!"

Two figures flashed like lightning in mid-air.

Ding!

After a crisp chime, one of the remaining five shackles of the Demon Mother was severed, and that shackle was clutched in Song Yan's hand.

One of the five lurking Demon Infants in the seawater seemed to be pardoned and quickly turned and fled.

Song Yan, holding that shackle, slightly closed his eyes and activated Heaven-Reaching Wisdom for Refinement. In an instant, this shackle appeared in his hand.

He became Six Chains, while the Demon Mother became Four Chains.

Song Yan laughed, "This shackle, I'm keeping it."

As he laughed, he felt a severe pain in his side, his gaze flicked over, catching the sight of blood and flesh vanished from his left arm where it had been scalded by Karmic Fire, and with the intense impact, blood dripped from the wound.

The Fire Demon Dragon was staring at his blood, stretching out its sharp claw.

Song Yan saw strange characters in the heavy claws of that Fire Demon Dragon.

The characters revealed themselves in an instant.

Just as they revealed, his blood disappeared.

Simultaneously, Song Yan felt the power on the Fire Demon Dragon faintly strengthened a bit, while he... became a bit weaker.

Song Yan hurried to try and heal the wound, but the wounds left by the Karmic Fire seemed impossible to heal.

If it were in the human world, this physique of his might hold on. But in the Sea of Suffering... how could a physique already weakened to the extreme have any capability?

A strong sense of restraint arose from his heart.

He sought freedom, but at this moment... his body became a burden.

Could he give up?

Impossible!

With great effort over a long road, with Nine Bloods of the Dragon Elephant, One Step to Heaven, and the Ancient Divine Infant Technique of the Dragon Burial Law, only then had his body reached such a state.
