Through the Primordial Demon Talisman, he sensed several Heart Demon Avatars of the creature before him. However, the most astonishing was the strongest Heart Demon Avatar residing in the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.

Is it the true body?

"I just returned from Central State, and there are many matters to handle at the sect. If there’s nothing else, senior, I’ll take my leave first."

After demonstrating respect, Zhao Nancheng made some polite remarks, but his actual intent was to leave.

"There’s one small question, why does your Sword Intent seem different from before?" Chen Mobai asked.

"After transforming into Divinity, I felt my previous Sword Intent was too weak. With my Dao Fruit fully refined, I used its power as the foundation to forge this more powerful Heavenly Sword Intent!" Zhao Nancheng said, after thinking for a moment, speaking truthfully.

During the conversation, he always paid attention to the newly refined Primordial Talisman, noticing no unusual movements, he sighed in relief.

"Weak?" Chen Mobai laughed sarcastically in response, "The weak Sword Intent you mentioned just easily defeated your Heavenly Sword Intent!"

"Ah?" Zhao Nancheng opened his mouth wide, unsure how to respond.

In Ku Zhu’s memory, there was clearly no image of this Sword Intent?

However, at this moment, Zhao Nancheng finally understood why he couldn’t completely devour Ku Zhu; it turned out this creature had obtained the Sword Intent inheritance of the Eastern Wilderness Blue Emperor.

"Maybe after Divinity Transformation, my mindset changed, causing my Sword Intent to no longer align with yours, senior." Zhao Nancheng spoke vaguely this time, but it was all true.

His mindset differed from Ku Zhu’s.

He desired to engulf the Eastern Continent, even the Five Continents and Four Seas, thus his Sword Intent did not harmonize with Prosperous Peace.

"I actually feel your mindset hasn’t changed, and even aligns more closely with Prosperous Peace Sword Intent!" Chen Mobai said.

Zhao Nancheng forced a smile, turned to draw his Flying Sword from the stone, pretending it was difficult to respond.

"Your Lifebound Flying Sword seems to resist you somewhat."

Chen Mobai spoke another phrase into Zhao Nancheng’s ear, and he looked down to see Ku Zhu’s sword trembling slightly in his hand.

"It’s not resistance, but earlier the senior’s Sword Intent was too powerful, and it’s still in fright, not recovering yet!"

Zhao Nancheng’s words made Chen Mobai nod slightly, then he directly teleported in front of Zhao Nancheng. Under the latter’s shocked expression, he placed his hand upon the Flying Sword.

Then, an even more pure Prosperous Peace Sword Intent, through the sword, flowed into Zhao Nancheng’s body like a flood.

"Senior?"

Zhao Nancheng didn’t know what Chen Mobai was doing but instinctively wanted to break away from the sword to prevent the Prosperous Peace Sword Intent from entering.

Yet, at this moment, the long inactive Primordial Demon Talisman suddenly emitted a ghostly light, in an instant, gaining full control of his Tianyuan Dao Fruit.

He was like a puppet, stiff and unable to move.

As fear filled Zhao Nancheng’s heart, the Prosperous Peace Sword Intent had already entered his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, easily breaking through the Supreme Heart Demon Power’s blockade along the path of affinity, merging with the suppressed Bitter Bamboo Primordial Spirit, which began to shine from dullness.

"This sword was crafted by me, its spirituality forged by me, like my child, how could it fear me."

Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Zhao Nancheng suddenly realized something, his eyes widened.

But it was too late. The Flying Sword, infused with external power, suddenly shone brightly, transforming into a golden stream, entering Ku Zhu’s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.

The Bitter Bamboo Primordial Spirit, initially radiating faint light, under Chen Mobai’s Sword Intent blessing, grew increasingly radiant, finally like dawn in the darkness, splitting the endless demonic qi within the Purple Mansion Sea of Knowledge.

Buzz!

A sword sound, rising from low to high, from dark to beautiful, carrying resolute and unyielding will, suddenly pierced out from Ku Zhu’s brow.

Seeing this, Chen Mobai involuntarily nodded lightly.

Yet now, Zhao Nancheng’s struggle intensified; unable to use Great Transformation Sky Demon Power, he infused Heart Demon Great Dao power within the Sea of Knowledge to re-seal Ku Zhu’s Sword Intent, and even planned to destroy the Heavenly Spirit of this body.

"Demon Path scoundrel, daring to show off in front of me!"

Chen Mobai snorted coldly, Primordial Demon Power surged, suppressing Heart Demon Great Dao effortlessly.

"When did you find out?"

By this step, Zhao Nancheng understood, it was impossible for him to control Ku Zhu’s body anymore, he instead calmed down, letting Ku Zhu’s Primordial Spirit Sword Intent drive away the darkness step by step, he asked Chen Mobai.

"I figured it out from the start, it was all flawed."

As Chen Mobai monitored, he answered, also wanting to know which esteemed devil cultivator stood before him.

Zhao Nancheng: "Would love to hear the specifics."

"How about this, a question for an answer, you first, who are you?" Proposed Chen Mobai.

"I prefer to leave people as fools." Zhao Nancheng didn’t answer.

For if he exposed himself as a descendant of the Eastern Emperor Court, it would certainly provoke Dao Morale Sect’s reaction, and possibly ruin Ao Yuxia’s endeavors.

This bitter bamboo’s body being lost was nothing; his true body remained, the plan to rebuild the Imperial Court would only delay slightly.

No body, but still a puppet body.

With this thought, Zhao Nancheng also noticed Ku Zhu’s Primordial Spirit Sword Intent had cleaved open all Heart Demon shackles, reclaiming dominance over the Sea of Knowledge.

As he prepared to peacefully self-destruct this Heart Demon Avatar, a word from Chen Mobai sent shock through his face.

"Those who oppose me face only death; don’t think eliminating the Heart Demon allows escape. Soon, I’ll overthrow the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, even your true body will die!"

Hearing this, Zhao Nancheng glared coldly at the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor.

[How did he know?]

Zhao Nancheng’s eyes reflected a fear he himself didn’t notice.

"I am in the Sea Eye, if you wish to seek death, come find me."

But soon Zhao Nancheng speculated the Sea Eye’s dread, and couldn’t resist revealing it, hoping Chen Mobai would come.

[Sea Eye!]

Having obtained this uncertain information, Chen Mobai kept it in mind, already considering how to deal with the Mysterious Flood DragonRoyal Court.

If this problem could be solved by him alone, it shouldn’t be left to the disciples.

In his final moments of self-destruction, Zhao Nancheng aimed to plant seeds of doubt in Chen Mobai: "Even if you can save Ku Zhu today, his heart demon runs deep, one day he’ll fall again and become my avatar anew. You best kill him today or when I return, my first act will be exterminating your Five Elements Sect."

Yet Chen Mobai’s face remained unchanged.

Having sown the Primordial Demon Talisman, worry over this matter was baseless.

Any Heart Demon born contributes to Primordial Demon Path’s nourishment; even Ku Zhu’s Great Transformation Sky Demon Power, a mere thought and Apocalypse Great Mill devours it.

"Wait for me to kill you."

With those words, the Heart Demon power within Ku Zhu dispersed, transforming into wisps of black smoke, escaping his orifices.

A golden sword mark shone on Ku Zhu’s brow, like heavenly light piercing through clouds.

Chen Mobai quickly stowed the Haotian Mirror to prevent the Pure Yang Magical Tool’s light from provoking Ku Zhu’s Great Transformation Sky Demon Power.

Half a day later, Ku Zhu opened his eyes.

He gazed at the youth standing with arms crossed by the mountain, kneeling heavily on the ground.

"Thank you, senior, for your rescue. Hereafter, should you command, I shall plunge into fire and water, and never retreat even unto death!"
