Sternritter Calendar

The Heavenly Sword Villa's Sword Management Terrace was several times larger than the ranking tournament's Sword Discourse Arena. As far as the eye could see, as many as ten thousand swords flew in the sky above the Sword Management Terrace, stirring up an even greater vortex of sword energy. 

Various kinds of swords also covered the entire surface of the Sword Management Terrace, and a few heavy swords were also included among them. Though their numbers was extremely low, they were definitely not of common grade. Even the most inferior weapon there was at least a Spirit Profound Artifact.

In the middle of the Sword Management Terrace, a pitch-black sword as large as the heavens was halfway into the ground and halfway into the sky. The incomparably enormous sword body released an ancient and heavy aura. Ling Kun was walking at the very front and stopped in front of the enormous sword. He turned around and said.

Ling Kun: This sword, is called "Heaven's Punishment", and is the suppressed demon's sword. The demon arrested several hundred years ago, is precisely sealed beneath this sword. The demon is incredibly strong, but inside the sealing formation, his strength has greatly been suppressed, so he should never think of escaping. However, since it is a sealing formation, its power would naturally diminish through time. Every 20 years, Mighty Heavenly Sword Region would always send 1 person here to strengthen the seal formation.

The Demon's existence was originally a secret. Because the things that are related to him, may possibly affect the life and death of the entire Profound Sky Continent. The reason why we have allowed everyone to witness his true appearance is because not long after last time's seal strengthening, his relatives used a special method to avoid the Four Great Sacred Grounds' blockade, and entered the Profound Sky Continent. 

They asked all over about this demon's location with the intent to rescue him. At the very end, they had still discovered Blue Wind Empire. If not for our Mighty Heavenly Sword Region's detection, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Jean: Heeee… Interesting…

Ling Kun: Today, everyone should open their eyes wide and clearly look at the appearance of a demon. In the future, if anyone asks you about people who look similar, you have to inform the Heavenly Sword Villa. Don't be lazy or negligent by any means! Because that could possibly be another demon! 

That matter over ten years ago was enough to prove that they found some way to enter the Profound Sky Continent without the Four Great Sacred Grounds being aware of it! If this demon was rescued accidentally and its powers are restored, it would bring a great calamity to the Profound Sky Continent!

Then, following his hand gesture, an enormous profound formation flashed from under the huge sword. In the profound formation's rotation, that huge sword as large as the sky slowly rose. Underneath the platform, was the lower half of the sword's body that had not seen night or day for twenty whole years.

The sword's body rose higher and higher, gradually reaching a height of several hundred meters. And just at this moment, a voice that sounded like it came from an evil spirit came from below.

?: GRR… AAHH!!!! Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, you old dogs! Have you come to visit this granddaddy again… HAHAHAHAHAHA… You pack of shameless, despicable, and treacherous dogs! If you have guts, hurry up and kill me already! 

I want to become a malicious spirit, tear the skin off your flesh, drink your blood, bite your bones into mush, pulverize your organs… and drag you all down to the 18th level of hell, to suffer the penetration of ten thousands of blades for all eternity, and feel the pain of burning in hellfire!!

Jean: *Whistle* He sure can curse people…

Fen Juechen: ...Junior Brother Jean, is that really the only thing you are thinking about?

Jean just shrugged and continued to hear the demon curse the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region…

The enormous Heaven's Punishment Sword continued to rise for a little while longer until it had finally stopped. The tip of huge sword moved a similarly sized surface which appeared at the previously empty space.

What appeared in front of the people's eyes was a huge light yellow half sphere barrier. Within the barrier, was the huge Heaven's Punishment Sword with several tens of chains on the tip of it firmly sealing a person with a full set of white hair. 

His hair had reached the ground a long time ago and covered half his body and face. His body was as thin as a match and had a face that was as wrinkled as an evil spirit, but his pair of eyes was as frightening as the sharpest knives in the world and radiated a resentment that was like the abyss of hell.

Disciple: That…. That's a demon?

Disciple 2: Being sealed in the profound formation for over a hundred years without eating, drinking or dying. It's practically an old demon! Sssss… what a terrifying demon, he glanced at me for a moment, and my entire body went cold.

Cang Yue: So… so scary.

Jean: ...What a disappointment…

He muttered low enough that only Jasmine could hear.

Jasmine: He isn't even a demon, what a joke. A real demon of the demon race is even scarier than you can imagine!

Jean: So a real demon is different? I'm looking forward to it...

Despite the curses of the "Demon", Ling Kun's expression didn't change.

Ling Kun: You want to curse, curse as much as you like. Heh, you think I don't dare to kill you? If it wasn't for you still having some uses, being a bargaining chip for exchange at some necessary moments, you would have died several hundred times by now! Why would we go through the trouble of keeping you alive for a hundred years?

?: Despicable old dogs, you're dreaming. Don't think you can exchange me for anything! I was never willing to die because I wanted to personally see the the great Demon Emperor slaughter your entire family. That day won't take too long to come… hahahaha!

Ling Kun: Hahahahaha! It looks like you're truly unclear on who is actually dreaming. It's no harm for me to tell you again that your Demon Emperor had already died a long time ago. Died under hands of our Mighty Heavenly Sword Region's Sword Master and the Sun Moon Divine Hall's Heavenly Monarch. 

Your pitiful Demon Emperor who had just ascended to the throne, overestimated his own abilities and wanted to take revenge for his father. Tsk tsk… his cries were so pitiful when dying. Right now, the entire Illusory Demon Realm is supported by a little demon empress. 

Unfortunately, though the pitiful little demon empress has imperial blood, your Illusory Demon Realm doesn't seem to be willing to let a woman become Emperor. She doesn't even have time to look after herself… slaughter our whole family? Hahaha, simply an enormous joke.

Jean: Oof… That hurts much more than the sword qi…

?: Utter bullshit! How can you bunch of inferior old dogs even compare to our Illusory Demon Realm's great Demon Emperor! The great Demon Emperor can never die… NEVER! There will be a day when he will personally slaughter everything!!

Ling Kun: Hahahaha, then just keep on dreaming!

During his ridiculous laughter, Ling Kun wiped the spatial ring in his hands and several ten lumps of light yellow crystals hovered in front of his body. Along with a wave of Ling Kun's arm, these several tens of crystals all separately flew towards a corner of the imprisoned "demon's" light yellow barrier, slowly submerged into the barrier, and became part of the barrier's power.

Suddenly, the color of the entire barrier became even deeper, causing the tint to become sparkly, it looked as if the yellow light filled its entirety. Those several tens of yellow crystalline objects all contained an incredibly power sealing force. Along with their merging, a once in every twenty years of barrier stabilization was completed at this moment.

Ling Kun: The profound formation used to seal this demon is called the Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation. No matter who it is, in this Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation, their profound strength would be suppressed to the maximum limit. When this demon is being locked under Heaven's Punishment, he shall never even think of ever escaping this Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation.

This demon's outer appearance is completely the same as us, and profound strength is also what he cultivates, yet he possess a type of special ability called "Profound Handle". However, amongst the demons, those who possess "Profound Handles" are also few in number.

Jean: *Cough* *Cough*!

He started to cough as saliva was stuck in his throat, making Cang Yue and Fen Juechen worried.

Cang Yue: Junior Brother Jean! Are you okay?!

Jean: Y-Yeah… Just small cough…

Profound Handle?! Demon my ass! That guy is the only clue for my origins!

Jasmine: Jean… Did you hear that?

Jean: How can I not hear it?! The problem is how I can get there without being suspicious… If I am labelled as a demon too then I might die for real…

Ling Kun: And now, you have already seen what you all ought to have seen. Remember what I had said previously. Demon, you must be really thankful to me since I have allowed you to see sunshine for this long, right? Before sending you back, I have another piece of news that I wish to tell you about… 

Heh, your son, and your daughter-in-law overestimated themselves and charged straight into Mighty Heavenly Sword Region twenty years ago to save you. But alas, they didn't know that you had been transferred here a hundred years ago. Hahahahaha.

The "demon" trembled all over. Fiercely raising his head, he roared like a madman.

?: You… What did you do to my son!! What did you do to him! If you harm a hair on my son's head, I wouldn't forgive you even if I become a ghost!

Ling Kun: Tsk Tsk! Your son was quite crafty, and had actually escaped our Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. He had almost found this place too, but alas, we found them first. What was even more unfortunate is that they thwarted us again, and escaped back to the Illusory Demon World. 

However, both of them were seriously injured, and had been fleeing for several months, so their life force were pretty much burnt out. Even if they ran back to the Illusory Demon World, they practically had one foot in the grave. I'd reckon that they had already died more than ten years ago.

....*Click*

Jean: Those f.u.c.kers almost killed my parents!

His parents were escaping from some powerful people less than 20 years ago, they should be labelled as "Demons" because they had the Profound Handle like the "Demon" here, the chances that it was another couple was pretty much almost 0… And it seemed like someone else was angry too…

?: You're lying!! You're lying! My son would never die! AHHH!!! Mighty Heavenly Sword bastards… You guys are the ones who deserve to die!! AHH!

In the midst of his roar, a hand suddenly extended from the crack within the sealed demon's chains. Bringing about a boundless hatred, the hand shot straight for where Ling Kun was standing, and a beam of profound energy shot forward.

Cries of shock immediately sounded from the surroundings. Everyone had all subconsciously retreated backwards. Ling Kun had also revealed traces of astonishment, but he was not scared, nor was he in a panic as he stood completely still. The profound energy beam struck the barrier, but did not pass through it, it disappeared.

Ling Yuefeng: Everyone, fear not. Even though this profound formation barrier cannot prevent others from entering, it can completely keep all kinds of power from going out. The demon cannot harm us.

Ling Kun: Hmph! To have allowed one of your hands to break through, looks like the previous seal was not tight enough. But no matter, you aren't that naive to think that you could escape the Meteorite Chain's seal and Heaven's Punishment Sword's suppression, right?

?: You despicable mongrels, I want to kill you… kill you all… AHHHH!!

He waved the only arm he could move, and lines and lines of profound light crazily smashed towards Ling Kun. The shouts he released were no different than that of a wild beast's. The sounds of his struggles as he twisted and turned within his shackles were ear-piercing.

Ling Kun: How pitiful. The former Demon Emperor's guardian angel, the 'King' of Illusory Demon World's millions of inhabitants, has now become a pitiful mad dog. Even I, am not willing to see such a sight. I guess it's best to let me… send you down!!

With a flip of his palm, a strange profound formation crystal was pinched between his fingers. A small scaled profound formation appeared before his body. Subsequently, the profound formation underneath the Heaven's Punishment Sword began to flicker again in response. Then, it slowly rotated, and gradually moved the Heaven's Punishment Sword, and the area in which the demon was sealed, downwards.

Cang Yue: This demon is really scary…

Jean: Funny you say that.

Cang Yue: Huh?

However, Jean didn't specify.

?: I will definitely kill you… ALLL!!! I will definitely kill you all!!

In the midst of his crazed roar, he suddenly stopped his assaults. He stretched his arm out in front of him and fiercely pulled inwards.

A burst of wild wind suddenly blew out from within the barrier. Then, it weakly expanded as it passed through the barrier while bringing along a magnetic force. It was obvious that in his extreme rage, this half crazy demon wanted to kill someone, and wanted to drag someone inside to kill them.

?: AHHH!!! GRAHHHH!!!

The Heaven's Punishment Sword continued to descend, and the demon's voice had begun to become gloomy. At this time, the non-threatening attraction force stopped… Two breaths later, an energy current suddenly narrowly centralized outwards, and ferociously charged outwards… And the direction in which the energy current surged towards, was surprisingly… the spot where Jean was standing at.

Jean: 'Chance!'

He didn't resist in the slightest, and was fiercely s.u.c.k.e.d in and flew towards the barrier while letting out fake cries of desperation.

Jean: AHHHHHH!!

Cang Yue: Jean!!

Fen Juechen: Junior Brother Jean!!

Ling Jie: Boss!!

?: Hahahahaha… Kill! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!!

Jean: 'I'm probably your grandson, you sick f.u.c.k!'

Soon, An incredibly huge suppression surged forth from every direction and firmly locked onto Jean's profound veins, making him feel as if his profound strength was being frozen by a force that he was unable to expel.

But this feeling of suppression could only last for a short period of time. The Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation could indeed maximally suppress any human's profound strength at will, but at this moment, Jean had become Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation's sole exception, because his profound veins came from a True God.

After he was inside the barrier, he reached for the "Demon" and surprisingly for everyone, the chained man included, he started to wrestle with him to avoid getting injured.

Jean: Bitch! I'll deal with you now!

?: Go on! Insect!

The Heaven's Punishment Sword suddenly dropped down at an extremely fast rate. Then, in the midst of a loud sound, it completely fell down, sealing the demon, as well as Jean into an unimaginable depth under the Sword Management Terrace.

Cang Yue: Junior Brother Jean!! 

As she screamed his name, she was unable to endure the blood pressure on her head and fainted, but Fen Juechen caught her body and gazed at the seal with a desperate face.
