Tang Ye’s figure suddenly froze on the spot when the Pearl of Baleful Blood entered the center of his forehead, and then a strand of baleful energy suddenly swept out from him. It was extremely fierce and sharp, and it carried a bloody smell that was nauseating. The profounders from the devil, nether, and demon race were delighted when they witnessed this scene. Even though they didn’t know exactly what had happened to Tang Ye, there was no doubt that it was the best opportunity to kill Tang Ye. Over 30 profounders from the devil race flashed explosively towards Tang Ye. Zhang Liu, Ye Yun, and Xi Luo were alarmed by this development. The three of them had to join forces in order to keep Mo Ke busy even when he was heavily injured, so they couldn’t extricate themselves from the battle as well. So, they were instantly filled with worry when they saw those devil profounders charge towards Tang Ye. Because Tang Ye was the pillar of the entire group, and he was the one person who couldn’t die no matter what! Right when one of the three of them was about to abandon the battle to save Tang Ye, 20 black shadows had suddenly appeared around Tang Ye, and they formed a circle with Tang Ye at the center. The three of them instantly heaved sighs of relief upon witnessed this scene. The devil profounders were stunned when they saw these black shadows appear in the surroundings, and then the profound energy within them surged explosively. At this moment, there was no need to say anything before both sides immediately entered into battle. At the moment that the Pearl of Baleful Blood had entered the center of his forehead, the scene in front of Tang Ye’s eyes had changed. He was at a square that was covered in boundless baleful energy, blood, bones, and resentment. Moreover, countless vengeful spirits filled the square as well. The air was even suffused with a strange flow of air that was scarlet red and bloody. As he stood on the square and gazed at everything before him, Tang Ye’s eyes were like an ocean of blood while Slaughter Sword Intent surged incessantly from within him before it swept out towards the surroundings.“AHH!!” Right at this moment, the vengeful spirits here suddenly let out numerous sharp and ear piercing shrill cries, and then they shot madly towards Tang Ye. Moreover, the bloody aura that suffused the air in the surroundings had surged into Tang Ye’s body. In next to no time, numerous scenes appeared in Tang Ye’s mind. What scenes were they? It was the scenes of the deaths of those vengeful spirits, and some had died in an extremely miserable manner.... Numerous cruel scenes flashed through Tang Ye’s mind, and it caused the redness in his eyes to gradually darken. In the end, tears of blood actually rolled down his face.... “Protect your heart! Don’t allow the intent to slaughter to control you!” Suddenly, the Sword Spirit’s voice suddenly erupted and rumbled in Tang Ye’s mind. Tang Ye shuddered when he heard this, and then he hurriedly firmed and protected his heart. Since he’d attained the Enlightened Sword Heart, it wasn’t difficult for him to clear his mind, and the reason he’d almost been controlled earlier was mainly that the Pearl of Baleful Blood had caught him off guard! After a short while, the baleful energy within Tang Ye’s body gradually lessened while his eyes slowly cleared up as well, and they weren’t so dark red anymore. After another short while passed, Tang Ye’s eyes remained completely tranquil as he gazed at the miserable deaths of those people in the scenes that flashed within his mind, yet he’d obtained comprehension in his heart instead. What was life? What was death? Every single person had a different understanding of it, whereas, Tang Ye’s understanding towards this was extremely simple — those who stand with me shall die, and those who defy me shall die! Tang Ye felt suddenly enlightened when he thought up to here. What was the sword for? What sort of Dao was the Sword Dao? Actually, it wasn’t very complicated. The sword was used to kill. The Sword Dao was like a sharpening stone that was utilized to ceaselessly sharpen the sword, allowing it to become even sharper. After that, it would be better at killing. Yes, everything wasn’t that complicated or profound. No matter if it was the Enlightened Sword Heart, Sword Intent, or Slaughter Sword Intent. All of them weren’t that complicated. Because at the bottom of it all, they were all used to kill! Simplicity! Tang Ye slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were extremely clear. Meanwhile, the Pearl of Baleful Blood slowly floated out from the center of his forehead, and then it floated in front of him. Tang Ye shook his head as he gazed at it. The Pearl of Baleful Blood was a Pseudo Dao Artifact, so it possessed a certain level of intelligence, and the reason it had been asleep for so long was that there hadn’t been sufficient blood and slaughter around it. So, it had been constantly asleep, and it was to the point that Tang Ye had practically overlooked it! This time, it had absorbed a huge amount of the blood and baleful energy in the Hidden Dragon Pagoda, and that was the reason why it had tried to take control of its owner instead. Unfortunately, it hadn’t just failed, it had even allowed Tang Ye to obtain an even deeper understanding of the Sword Dao. No, it should be said that it allowed Tang Ye to possess a Sword Dao of his own. What was his Sword Dao? Simplicity!
