Chapter 47: Chapter 47 - Blood Moon Army
Although Song Yang had considered the sword that Shi Hu brought — which he had taken from Chu Yifan — as an extremely useful high-grade sacred artifact for the future, the system's reward made it seem like a firefly compared to a bright moon.
As he thought about this, a blood-red sword appeared before Song Yang, emanating a terrifying aura.
High-Grade Imperial Artifact!
Slash! Slash!
Like a meteor streaking through the sky in reverse, the sword flew toward the sky of the secret realm where it was located, releasing an aura that covered the entire secret realm and seemed to announce its triumphant arrival.
As the sword passed, countless visions began to appear around it. In some of these visions, an extremely hot flame manifested, illuminating the space with an intense, burning brightness.
In others, a massive phantom of a phoenix appeared, its feathers glowing with a mystical splendor and its wings extending majestically, as if it were about to take flight.
If it weren't for the fact that the Secret Realm of the Shura Palace was a small immortal-level world, these visions could have easily destroyed the surrounding space.
Furthermore, if it hadn't been for the small world's formation concealing the event, the imperial aura of the sword would have swept across the entire Eastern Region and caused a stir throughout the Continent of the Celestial Clouds.
When the sword finally reached the top, it seemed to have its own spirit that trembled slightly, as if assuming the posture of an emperor and desiring to be worshipped by all.
In the main hall, Song Yang felt such a terrifying aura that all the creatures present in the secret realm involuntarily knelt, unable to rise.
Only he remained standing, an exception due to the system — he had made the sword recognize him as its master.
How could the sword make its own master kneel?
Suddenly, Song Yang felt something moving within his spatial ring. He released all the swords stored there, and each of them seemed to come to life, bowing to the imperial sword. All, except for the sacred sword given by Shi Hu.
Unexpectedly, this sacred sword seemed to have consciousness and, in a burst of impulse, shot toward the sky.
"A sword duel? This should be interesting," murmured Song Yang, watching the scene with a smile.
However, what followed was not the expected confrontation. Instead, the sacred sword rose and prostrated itself in respect to the imperial sword.
"That was expected," Song Yang murmured. If there had indeed been a battle between the swords, he would have intervened.
After all, compared to the imperial weapon, a sacred sword was far inferior and would likely be shattered on the first impact.
Although the sacred sword was no longer useful to him, it was still extremely valuable. He could not allow it to be destroyed so easily.
Suddenly, Song Yang appeared in the sky and grabbed the sword with his hands. Upon touching it, he felt a terrifying power that made him murmur:
"Is this the power of an imperial artifact?"
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart how many times his strength had been multiplied: "If I use it, would it be possible to face a Grand Saint?"
After storing the sword and returning to the Main Hall, Song Yang focused and communicated once again with the system in his heart:
"System, open my personal panel."
[Host: Song Yang]
[Status: Master of the Shura Palace]
[Cultivation: 4-Star Saint]
[Skills: Supreme Devouring Sutra (Perfection Stage), Sea Destroyer Fist (Mastery Stage), Celestial Sword Technique (Perfection), Fifth Layer of Sword Intent...]
[Sacred Laws: Fire Law (100%), Water Law (100%), Wind Law (100%), Earth Law (100%), Gold Law (100%)]
[Points: 142,000]
Seeing the remaining one hundred thousand points, Song Yang couldn't resist the temptation to open another mysterious box. After a brief moment of reflection, he made a decision and spoke firmly:
"System, open an epic mysterious box."
[Ding! Opening the epic-level mysterious box...]
"Doesn't matter, whatever I get is a bonus," murmured Song Yang, already satisfied with his luck for having received two of the best legendary rewards.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully opening the mysterious box and obtaining an advanced epic reward: Blood Moon Army.]
"Fuck, what luck I'm having today!" Song Yang exclaimed as he read the description of the reward.
[Blood Moon Army: An army of one hundred thousand blood demons from a fantasy world.]
"Furthermore, why are all the summons I receive about demons?" Song Yang thought, somewhat intrigued.
"Forget it, it must be just a coincidence."
[Ding! Does the Host wish to summon the Blood Moon Army?]
"Summon, of course, summon," Song Yang replied with a slight smile.
[Ding! The Blood Moon Army is being summoned...]
After hearing the mechanical sound of the system, Song Yang felt numerous powerful auras emerging in the sky above the Main Hall. With a slight movement, he appeared in the sky and saw Shi Hu, who had clearly noticed these auras and was observing the figures with a somewhat cautious expression.
The Blood Moon Army was composed of demons about three meters tall, wearing blood-red demonic armor and exuding a terrible murderous energy.
In the presence of such an army, even Shi Hu felt a slight pressure, especially from the figure at the front of the army.
"Shi Hu, don't be rude; they are also from the Shura Palace," Song Yang reprimanded Shi Hu and then turned his gaze to the figure at the front of the army.
"Yes, Master of the Palace," Shi Hu responded obediently, stepping back slightly but not completely, as if waiting to report something to Song Yang.
Feeling Song Yang's gaze upon him, the figure at the front of the army knelt and spoke respectfully: "Ye Gouyang, Commander-in-Chief of the Blood Moon Army, greets the Master of the Palace."
Ye Gouyang had initially intended to address Song Yang as "Master," but upon noticing Shi Hu's formality, he immediately adjusted his title to "Master of the Palace."
"Greetings to the Master of the Palace!"
"Greetings to the Master of the Palace!"
Following Ye Gouyang's example, all the blood demons knelt and respectfully greeted Song Yang.
