Heaven-Slaying Dao

CHAPTER 11: THREE DAYS OF BLOOD AND LIGHT

The Azure Dragon Sect was alive with preparation—banners flying, formation arrays activated, and the hum of hundreds of cultivators sharpening their skills under the watchful eyes of the elders. The approaching war with the Heaven Sect was no mere threat; it was a trial that would determine the fate of the entire eastern cultivation world.

Ye Qing stood atop the Dragon Sword Pavilion, gazing toward the distant horizon where storm clouds churned with an unnatural crimson glow—the banner of the Heaven Sect’s divine army.

Beside him, Sect Master Bai Zheng approached with heavy steps.

“The Heaven Sect will arrive in three days,” Bai Zheng said solemnly. “Their power rivals the ancient legends themselves.”

Ye Qing’s eyes glowed with the Blood Dragon’s fiery essence.

“Three days… is enough time to awaken the last legacy.”

Bai Zheng nodded.

From the inner chambers, the elders emerged carrying a colossal jade tablet etched with golden runes—known as the Dragon’s Heart Tablet. It was said to contain the final secret of the sect’s founder, a technique capable of turning the tide of any battle.

Ye Qing reached out and touched the tablet. A surge of energy pulsed through him, connecting with the Dragon Abyss Sword and the Blood Dragon aura within.

His vision expanded.

He saw the interconnected fates of the sects, the hidden conspiracies weaving through the eastern lands, and the awakening power locked within his own bloodline.

The future was uncertain. The war to come would test not only strength but conviction.

Ye Qing clenched his fist, determination blazing brighter than ever.

“This bloodline will not bring destruction,” he vowed.

“It will bring salvation.”
