This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 819 - 652: What Lies Within the Cliff Sword Intent (Part 2)

Besides releasing clues for players to find the Abyss Gate, he also announced the search for mystical objects that contain unique spiritual energy.
Submitting these would also earn extremely valuable treasures, enough to make ordinary players smile from ear to ear.
"Oh, this old man knows, that annoying cat is still sleeping."
Zixuan nodded understandingly, Liang Yi had mentioned this to him before.
The two of them, along with the orange tabby, turned the Purple Cloud Sect treasure vault upside down, only to find a few mystical objects that met the criteria.
These objects might not be very useful, or of high grade, but their common feature is they are extremely rare, almost impossible to find a second one on the Mystical Mechanism Continent.
After the orange tabby gobbled them up ravenously, it collapsed on the spot and has been in a coma since.
However, this is a normal phenomenon, an indication of the physical body's better recovery through sleep, so Liang Yi was no longer concerned. Even if the orange tabby was asleep, it wouldn't forget to eat; they could just throw the found mystical objects to him then.
"Then next, it's time to address my own issue…"
Liang Yi's star-like pupils reflected the setting sun, as the endless night swept in from the horizon and covered the earth.
After passing all matters to Elder Zi, Liang Yi casually requested a secluded cave mansion and declared a retreat.
He needed to figure out what exactly the Cliff Sword Intent he wielded was!
Earlier, after receiving the message left by his master, he was utterly confused, but at that time, the arrival of He Zhiqing and others left Liang Yi with little time to think.
Later, during the time elder Fan Jie delivered the You Meng Garden Transformation Array, besides guiding others in their domain improvements, he engaged with everyone in discussions about the Cliff Sword Intent.
Back then, Youdao Mountain gathered the top geniuses of the era. The effect of mutual influence was unimaginable.
Liang Yi intended to leverage others' strength to help unravel the mystery surrounding the Cliff Sword Intent.
In addition to Liang Yi, there were Youyi and Ke Mengzhan. The three of them, who could be considered Sword Masters, jointly researched the Cliff Sword Intent and finally discovered a little bit of something.
After suppressing his inner doubts and setting up the You Meng Garden Transformation Array, and then, with other super forces, dispatching players to cleanse the Abyss Gate, only then did Liang Yi finally have the time to personally investigate the Cliff Sword Intent within himself.
Liang Yi closed his eyes tightly, his consciousness plunging into the Sea of Consciousness, where the pitch-black sword intent stood suspended mid-air.
The manifestation of the Cliff Sword Intent in Liang Yi's Sea of Consciousness took Yuan Zhou as its prototype. Liang Yi guessed it might be because the sword intent originated from Senior Su Jianyi, so the Cliff Sword Intent looked like a Yuan Zhou engulfed in black flames.
[Cliff Sword Intent]: Taoist Sect Sword Immortal Su Jianyi, gathering the experience of slaying countless Abyss Cultivators, and the unyielding conception studied over countless years of the Abyss, conceived this sword intent. Walking along the cliff, with towering mountain stillness, its mastery brings significant lethal impact against abyssal entities and effectively suppresses the Immortal Intent of the Abyss.
This was the introduction obtained after the system detected the Cliff Sword Intent back then, which still remains unchanged now.
At that time, Liang Yi was just a cultivator who had stepped into the Fifth Realm or maybe the Sixth Realm, which compared to his current cultivation and perspective, was worlds apart.
So, looking at this introduction now, Liang Yi's heart filled with numerous doubts.
Slew countless Abyss Cultivators…
Now, in these few years, his master also slew countless Abyss Cultivators, including many at the peak of the Ninth Realm. Those few Abyss Envoys at the Ninth Realm Great Perfection, if not because they can resurrect, wouldn't have been a match for his master either.
In the path of the Sword Dao, Liang Yi wouldn't dare say his master could definitely suppress Senior Su Jianyi, but at the very least, they were equals.
Yet even so, his master had no means against the Immortal Intent within those top Abyss Cultivators, and it was through Liang Yi's Cliff Sword Intent that Cang Dong could be completely annihilated.
Studied the Immortal Intent of the Abyss for countless years…
Liang Yi initially thought that Senior Su Jianyi created the Cliff Sword Intent after repeatedly studying the strange avatar of Cang Dong in the Secret Realm. After all, with so many epochs, it would be normal to research something out.
But looking back now, Cang Dong's avatar's power was merely that, exceedingly weak compared to its main body. The reason for sealing it was none other than to trap Cang Dong in a state of neither life nor death, preventing it from causing chaos or completely dying and using the Abyss Will to resurrect.
Without the corresponding level of Immortal Intent of the Abyss as a reference, could Senior Su Jianyi truly grasp the Cliff Sword Intent?
Researching an egg for countless years wouldn't provide insights into constructing a fighter jet…
Yet Senior Su Jianyi did grasp the Cliff Sword Intent and entrusted it to him, so Liang Yi speculated that while Senior Su Jianyi did research, the subject was definitely not Cang Dong's avatar, but rather something else.
"Then… let me see, what did you actually study…"
Liang Yi took a deep breath, his gaze solemn and serious, his right hand slowly lifted, reaching toward the Cliff Sword Intent.
The calm Sea of Consciousness beneath his feet rippled at this moment, as if a gentle breeze had passed, stirring Liang Yi's long hair, the invisible power of the domain gathering on Liang Yi's right hand, gradually enveloping the pitch-black sword intent before him!
The Disruption Domain was Liang Yi's most potent method now, and due to the unique nature of the Disruption Domain, anything that entered Liang Yi's domain, whether cultivator or other things, would be severed from all mysticism and spiritual power, should he wish it.
Now, Liang Yi wanted to use this ability to see the essence of the Cliff Sword Intent!
This was also a rather reasonable and convenient method Liang Yi and his junior sister, along with Ke Mengzhan, came up with together. Plus, when Liang Yi initially constructed the Disruption Domain, he had integrated the mysticism of the Cliff Sword Intent into it, so even if things went a bit awry now, nothing unexpected should occur.
Liang Yi gripped the inky hilt of Yuan Zhou with a reverse grip, the invisible domain blade extending gradually from the hilt's base upward. As it extended, the pitch-black flames entwining the Yuan Zhou's blade started to fade, leaving only the inky Yuan Zhou.
Wanting to calm down and feel the sword intent within the domain, Liang Yi
Ka—
But that wasn't the end; when the Disruption Domain completely enveloped the manifesting Cliff Sword Intent within the Sea of Consciousness, a crack suddenly appeared on the sword's body.
Liang Yi was taken aback, not understanding what was happening.
However, within this confusion, a crisp breaking sound followed one after another, and in the blink of an eye, it spread all over the entire Cliff Sword Intent!
Boom—
The dull explosion from his palm stunned Liang Yi completely, as he dumbfoundedly watched the Cliff Sword Intent, now shattered into countless inky fragments floating mid-air.
"Ah? It just shattered??"
Liang Yi couldn't even articulate his mood at this point.
This was the Cliff Sword Intent personally handed over by Senior Su Jianyi! While he acknowledged his domain's impressive power, to directly suppress a top-tier sword intent to pieces was indeed a bit absurd.
As Liang Yi wore a troubled expression contemplating how to handle the situation, he witnessed the sword intent fragments before him suddenly vaporizing into masses of black mist.
As if drawn to each other, these masses of black mist began reconvening, still within the scope of Liang Yi's domain.
"How… can this be!?"
Liang Yi's expression abruptly turned incredulous, because according to the feel from the domain, this mist… was even more refined than Abyss Demon Qi!
Since his domain incorporation was integrated with the Cliff Sword Intent when perfected, it wielded a potent suppressive effect on anything abyssal, from Tian Anyu to Cang Dong, they couldn't escape this suppression.
Now, the entity emerging from the Cliff Sword Intent, though continually churning, was similarly influenced by the Cliff Sword Intent, and was being suppressed in his domain.
Cliff Sword Intent… suppressing Cliff Sword Intent?
Liang Yi was utterly confounded.
