Chapter 1212: The New Birth of the Celestial calamity

"Hong'er, wait... wait!"

How could Hong'er, upon seeing food, possibly pay attention to Yun Che? With a whoosh, she pounced on the Golden Crow Sacred Sword, moving so fast that Yun Che had no time to react. Then, he saw Hong'er's eyes gleam and her lips part, revealing her pearly white, sharp little fangs, as she prepared to bite the Golden Crow Sacred Sword.

A long stream of saliva, without any warning, poured from her lips, stretching all the way to the sword.

"Ah... stop it!!" Yun Che paled with shock and frantically rushed forward. But this time, Yun Che's horror was absolutely not because he feared Hong'er would damage the Golden Crow Sacred Sword... what a joke! That was the Golden Crow Sacred Sword, a divine artifact left from the era of ancient gods! Although it was far from its original state, in essence, it was still a true god-level existence, incomparable to ordinary profound swords. He was afraid Hong'er would be harmed by the Golden Crow Sacred Sword. Given the Golden Crow Sacred Sword's level, if Hong'er really took a bite, being injured would be a minor consequence.

But just as Yun Che's startled cry escaped his lips, Hong'er had already bitten down. *Crunch!* With a crisp sound, a tooth-mark-shaped chip appeared on the Golden Crow Sacred Sword. It looked exactly like a golden cookie with a piece bitten off.

Yun Che's eyes widened, and he instantly turned to stone.

Hong'er's cheeks bulged as she chewed vigorously, her eyes radiating crimson light of immense excitement: "Wow! Delicious... so delicious!!"

"Hiss..." The Fire Prison suddenly churned violently, and the phoenix's eyes overhead rapidly constricted: "She... she... what is she!?" The phoenix's divine voice was actually trembling with fear... because what was unfolding before it was a sight even it, at its level, could not comprehend.

Only then did the stunned Yun Che snap out of his daze, pounce fiercely towards Hong'er, and shout: "Hong'er, you can't eat that!!"

A strong gust of wind rushed in, and Hong'er cried "Ah!" before taking off, her tiny body moving like a streak of light, causing Yun Che to completely miss her. And the Golden Crow Sacred Sword, which Yun Che couldn't move even with all his might, was simply picked up by Hong'er and carried away with her... as easily as picking up a piece of wood from the ground.

"!#$..." Yun Che's eyes almost popped out of his head. He then let out a strange cry and rushed towards Hong'er again: "Hong'er! You really can't eat that!!"

"Waaah!" Seeing Yun Che about to chase her again to snatch her food, Hong'er shrieked and ran off without hesitation, tightly clutching the Golden Crow Sacred Sword, which was several times larger than her body. What a profound cultivation Yun Che possessed now, and he was even within the Fire Prison. Yet, even at full speed, Hong'er, like a crimson streak of light, quickly left him far behind... And she not only held the Golden Crow Sacred Sword but also gnawed on it while running at a terrifying speed, both her running and gnawing speeds were astonishing, accompanied by continuous "crunch, crunch, crunch" sounds... Faintly, there seemed to be terrified wails coming from the Golden Crow's soul.

When he first met Hong'er and she forcibly ate the Dragon Fault Sword, he couldn't catch her. Later, when Hong'er forcibly ate the Eternal Night Devil Sword, he still couldn't stop her. And now, his profound energy was at the late Divine Tribulation Realm... yet he still couldn't catch Hong'er!

Before long, Yun Che resignedly stopped there, staring intently at Hong'er... and the Golden Crow Sacred Sword rapidly disappearing in her embrace.

In just over ten breaths, the exceptionally massive Golden Crow Sacred Sword was completely consumed by Hong'er. As the sword body completely vanished, the Golden Crow divine flame, which had burned for countless years, also extinguished entirely, leaving only a dull, unlit hilt.

Hong'er casually tossed the hilt aside, then zipped back with a whoosh, standing prettily before Yun Che, her cheeks still puffed out, giggling as she chewed the last remnants of the sword. Her delicate crimson eyebrows curved upward: "It's all eaten up now, Master, so even if you catch me, it's no use, hee hee hee hee..."

*Gulp...* Yun Che's throat bobbed heavily.

*Gulp!* The last bite of "food" swallowed, Hong'er's crimson eyes narrowed, her small face filled with rapture: "So delicious, too delicious, better than any food I've ever eaten! Master, you're so good to me, finding me such delicious food."

Yun Che's eyes were wide, and his mouth hung open, remaining unclosed for a long time.

That was the Golden Crow Sacred Sword... The Golden Crow Sacred Sword!!! It was actually eaten by Hong'er... eaten like an ordinary sword!?

She had previously eaten the Eternal Night Devil Sword... although it had no power left, it was an ancient devil sword after all, and eating it was scary enough. But this time, she actually ate the Golden Crow Sacred Sword!

The Golden Crow Sacred Sword was definitely not the power-depleted Eternal Night Devil Sword; it was left behind by the Golden Crow, guarded by the Phoenix divine spirit... a divine sword that even he, using all his strength, couldn't gain recognition from!

In Hong'er's mouth, it was simply eaten clean, as if it were an ordinary sword!

Hong'er had always been an incomprehensible little monster, but this, this, this, this...

"She... actually... ate the Golden Crow Sacred Sword... actually..." The Phoenix divine spirit's voice trembled... In this world where gods no longer existed, what else could make a soul at the true god level tremble?

"Who... is she? What is she?" "Ah... uh..." Yun Che looked up, stammered for a moment, and then reluctantly said: "She... is the sword spirit of the sword I use; she usually feeds on swords. This... I didn't know she could even eat the Golden Crow Sacred Sword..."

Yun Che's mind was a mess. What the hell... what was he supposed to do now?! A divine artifact left behind by a true god... actually eaten by Hong'er. This wasn't just a matter of ruining and desecrating it; how was he supposed to compensate for this? He couldn't possibly!

"A sword spirit? How... can such a sword spirit exist in this world?" the Phoenix soul voice asked. Its last remnant of soul was locked onto Hong'er. It could see Hong'er's presence, yet its spiritual sense paradoxically could not perceive her existence: "The core of the Golden Crow Sacred Sword was forged from the 'sacred bones' of the primeval Golden Crow of chaos—the Golden Crow Sacred Ancestor—after its demise. Even the power of a true god could barely destroy it. How could... how could this happen..."

"Uh... perhaps... it's just..." Yun Che tried to invent an excuse, but this involved a true god's sword, a Golden Crow's legacy, and he was facing a Phoenix divine spirit. He racked his brain but couldn't come up with any plausible explanation.

Just then, Hong'er suddenly let out a soft "Eh?", and a strange golden light flashed in her pupils. Following that, a layer of golden flames ignited from her body, spreading across her entire form.

Yun Che: "...?"

"Wow! Fire just like Master's, so warm." Hong'er spread her arms, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the flames spontaneously burning on her body. Soon, her eyes slowly narrowed, and her voice gradually softened: "Mmm... I suddenly feel so sleepy, I want to sleep." She stretched her waist, let out a big yawn, and said groggily: "Master, Hong'er is full, it's time to go back to sleep... Don't wake me up, okay?"

No sooner had her soft voice faded than she transformed into a crimson streak of light and returned to Yun Che's body.

Yun Che stood there, stunned... He definitely hadn't activated the Golden Crow Burning World Record just now, but Golden Crow Flames had actually ignited on Hong'er by themselves? Could it be that because she ate the Golden Crow Sacred Sword, Hong'er had undergone some kind of qualitative change?

With this thought, Yun Che swiftly summoned the Heaven Smiting Sword.

The massive sword body appeared in the air. As Yun Che grasped it, just as he was about to examine its aura, he suddenly felt his arms being weighed down as if by ten thousand mountains, sinking abruptly.

*Boom!!!!!!!!* The Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword, from blade to hilt, slammed heavily to the ground at his feet, dragging Yun Che's hands and arms with it. A roar, like thunder exploding from the ninth heaven, instantly caused the Fire Prison to churn wildly, and the entire God Burying Fire Prison seemed to subtly tremble.

Yun Che's body bent, his eyes wide, his hands gripping the hilt tightly, veins bulging on his arms, and all the muscles in his face tensed... But the Heaven Smiting Sword remained completely still. This... this was...

Yun Che gritted his teeth fiercely and gathered his profound energy. A crisp sound was heard as the divine rock beneath his feet slightly cracked. Yet, the Heaven Smiting Sword remained utterly motionless, as if firmly suppressed by the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Yun Che's brows furrowed. With a soft shout, his profound energy surged, directly activating the "Sky Breaker" realm. Finally, with a rumbling, muffled sound like distant thunder, the Heaven Smiting Sword was slowly lifted by him... accompanied by a terrifying sword might so immense that it left Yun Che in disbelief.

For several breaths, Yun Che finally lifted the Heaven Smiting Sword straight up, and then heavily swung it down.

This explosive sound seemed to completely shake the entire world. The flames before him were all swept away, and Yun Che grunted. The Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword instantly flew from his grasp and crashed to the ground. His arms also dropped directly, trembling violently. This single strike... just one strike, had completely drained all of Yun Che's strength. He panted heavily like an ox, his entire body felt weak, and especially his arms, he could barely feel them.

But he had no time to care about any of this. His eyes stared straight ahead.

The Fire Prison was churning madly, and a long crimson sword mark was horizontally imprinted within it. No matter how violently the world-burning flames raged, this crimson sword mark remained clearly visible, not fading for a long time. This was not an ordinary world; this was the bottom of the God Burying Fire Prison!!

"Is this... my... power?" Yun Che lowered his head, looking at his still numb arms, muttering in disbelief.

"The aura of the Devil Slayer Sword..." the Phoenix divine spirit said in shock: "No... and the aura of the Golden Crow Sacred Sword! This sword... it actually merged with the divine power of the Golden Crow Sacred Sword!? What in the world is it..."

Yun Che gave no reply. He panted heavily, sat cross-legged, and gripped the hilt of the Heaven Smiting Sword, but he had no strength left to lift it... However, an incredibly excited gleam flickered in his eyes.

Yun Che took out a Time Wheel Pearl. Before he could activate it with his profound energy, it was directly incinerated by the Fire Prison's flames, and a Time Wheel barrier silently opened around Yun Che...

Eastern Divine Region, Moon God Realm.

As one of the Four Great King Realms of the Eastern Divine Region, it held a transcendental existence. For countless years, it had received the reverence and admiration of the world, far more sacred than the mythical Moon Palace in mortal legends.

The Divine Queen's Hall, located within the Moon God Palace at the heart of the Moon God Realm, was the most sacred place within a sacred land.

Even an existence as formidable and domineering as a "Moon God" would never dare to easily set foot there.

At the level of the Moon God Realm, they had long since disdained the pursuit of so-called luxury. However, within the Divine Queen's Hall, every corner, every inch, interpreted the word "luxury" to its utmost extreme. The bricks and tiles here were "Moon Chasing Glaze," the tables and chairs were all carved from "Shadow Moon Wood," and the bedding, bed curtains, every single thread, were so noble that ordinary people could not even imagine.

This was because the most esteemed woman of the Moon God Realm resided here.
