Chapter 586: Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon
The Sword Heavens arrived, the Talisman God nodded slightly, while the Demon King’s pupils contracted, his face turning grim.
Against two Divine Daoists, he had no chance of winning. Even if he ran, he couldn’t escape. Now, he was truly stuck between a rock and a hard place.
"Demon King, where is the Demon Slayer?" the Sword Heavens demanded coldly, using his Divine Sense to scan the surrounding trillions of miles, yet he found no trace of the Demon Slayer.
Could it be that guy was hiding?
"I came voluntarily; the Demon Slayer is not here," the Demon King responded coldly, gripping his sharp blade, ready to face death with bravery.
Since he couldn’t escape, he had to do everything he could to injure one of them.
"The Demon Slayer isn’t here? In that case, you can die now." the Sword Heavens said coldly.
He hurried here just to kill the Demon Slayer and redeem himself, so the Celestial Emperor would forgive him.
In an instant, a sharp blade swiftly flew toward the Demon King. He quickly dodged, looking at the Sword Heavens with a tense expression. This person was very strong!
Could it be that he would meet his end here today?
Attacking the Human Domain was an idea he had when he saw Chen Lan and the Ghost King Yang Tian attacking other places. Since both of them made a move, it wouldn’t make sense if he didn’t.
Moreover, he had already made it clear to Chen Lan that he would stand on his side. Chen Lan had also told him to seize the opportunity. Once he made a move, he should just follow suit.
Now, he followed, but it seemed he was the only one left, as Chen Lan and Yang Tian had fled.
"Talisman Bursting Myriad Phenomena." the Talisman God shouted coldly.
Numerous talismans appeared beside the Demon King, exuding a terrifying and powerful aura. Lightning and flames were faintly leaking out, crackling fiercely and surging with heat!
Seeing this, the Demon King’s pupils contracted violently. Before he could dodge, the talismans exploded with a roar, unleashing a terrifying burst of Spiritual Power, shaking the heavens. The space emitted a series of explosive sounds, and the endless mountain ranges instantly collapsed.
Numerous members of the Evil Race were caught in the blast and blown away, not daring to come closer, only watching the terrifying battle between the Divine Daoists from afar.
As the dust settled, the Demon King’s clothes were in tatters, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, revealing his condition.
He stood at the center of the explosion, and the Talisman God’s Divine Techniques were so terrifying that he was injured with just one strike.
Fortunately, he still had some strength and was not severely injured, so he could still fight.
Buzz!
At this moment, the sound of a sword suddenly rang out, the Demon King widened his eyes in shock, wanting to dodge, but it was impossible!
Swoosh—
A flash of sword light, and intense pain came from his waist. Looking down, he saw blood gushing out, flowing from his waist, the agony overwhelming his heart.
His waist was cut by a sharp blade, Sword Intent lingering there, eroding his flesh and blood, hindering his body’s recovery speed.
Buzz!
A sharp sword gleaming with dark light returned to the hands of the Sword Heavens, its blade shimmering with silver light, terrifying and powerful. The Sword Heavens held the sword in his right hand, his left hand behind his back, a cold smile on his lips as he walked slowly toward the Demon King.
"Demon King, Gu Changge, why didn’t you just stay well in the Demon Realm? Why come out only to die?" the Sword Heavens sneered.
"Your Evil Race has committed so many atrocities, I’ve tolerated you for a long time." Gu Changge said coldly, covering his waist wound, fearless and undaunted.
"So what?"
In an instant, the Sword Heavens disappeared, Gu Changge’s eyes widened in shock, hurriedly raising his sword.
Clang!
The Sword Heavens appeared before him, slashing with his sword. Their weapons clashed, a ringing sound resounded, a terrifying aura erupted, one person and one demon stared coldly at each other.
"On the brink of death, yet still hiding the Demon Slayer?" the Sword Heavens spoke coldly, trying to force the Demon Slayer out.
He just didn’t believe it, that even when Gu Changge was about to die, the Demon Slayer would refuse to come to save him!
Upon hearing this, Gu Changge laughed coldly: "I hate to disappoint you, but he really isn’t here."
A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He hadn’t sensed the presence of Chen Lan and Yang Tian. Perhaps the two of them didn’t know he was attacking the Human Domain, or if they did, they didn’t come.
Whether it was the former or the latter, he didn’t blame the two of them. After all, it was he who believed the deceitful words and thought the Celestial Domain was a good place, dragging Yang Tian along, even coaxing him, saying that to avenge Chen Lan he must ascend to the Celestial Domain.
Who would have thought, upon arriving at the Celestial Domain, they would discover it was hell, each one a demon, Ascension was a huge joke; they were all livestock, provisions for the Evil Race to enjoy!
Chen Lan had advised him not to go, he thought Chen Lan was trying to prevent him from Ascending because Chen Lan came from the Celestial Domain. He thought Chen Lan was afraid he’d go to the Celestial Domain and become stronger than him, so he deliberately said those things.
Even though Chen Lan warned him the Celestial Domain was extremely dangerous, he still thought the other party was lying to him, just to prevent him from becoming stronger, for fear he’d surpass Chen Lan.
He didn’t listen, insisted on coming, and as a result, fell to this point, having to stay in the Demon Realm, following the orders of the Celestial Emperor; when told to go east, he couldn’t go west, like a loyal dog.
"On the brink of death, yet so stubborn. I see how long you’ll keep this up!" the Sword Heavens’ eyes flashed with a fire of anger, unable to tolerate it any longer.
He simply didn’t believe the Demon Slayer could endure so much!
The Sword Heavens released his aura, a myriad of swords flew, swirling around the Demon King like a rain of swords stabbing endlessly.
"Talisman Locking the World." the Talisman God commanded coldly, waving the Jade Fan.
Countless talismans appeared around the Demon King, exuding the aura of the space great dao, completely locking the space, leaving the Demon King with no escape!
Seeing the blades coming, the Demon King executed his Divine Techniques, wielding a sword with both hands, unleashing successive slashes of Sword Qi, extinguishing all the blades, trying to break the space lock.
"Immortal Banishment Sword Technique, Lin Xian." the Sword Heavens spoke indifferently, the sharp sword shone with light, a Dharma Aspect of an Immortal appeared behind him, its aura ethereal, mysterious and powerful.
He lightly swung the sword, the Immortal followed with a massive sword, a silver Sword Qi emerged, shattering the space, rapidly attacking the Demon King.
"Demon Transformation!!!" The Demon King knew he was no match for the two, roared furiously, releasing his true form.
Suddenly, countless talismans exploded with a roar, the space lock lifted, a blood-red eight-clawed giant dragon soared into the sky. Its body was crimson, with golden silk patterns, radiating a terrifying aura of sacred majesty.
The giant dragon rolled in the dark clouds, erupting with dragon roars, its aura steadily rising.
"Eight-clawed Divine Dragon, just one claw short of the legendary Nine-clawed Divine Dragon. I didn’t expect this Demon King to be of the Dragon Race, this race isn’t often seen." the Sword Heavens frowned, contemplating enlisting the Demon King.
This Dragon Race was rare, if he could recruit an eight-clawed giant dragon as a mount, cultivate it to the legendary strongest nine-clawed Divine Dragon, his combat power would greatly increase. The Celestial Emperor would take notice, and when the Celestial Emperor ascends again, he could assume the position, becoming the new ruler of the Celestial Domain!
Rumble!
Suddenly, endless lightning crashed down from the dark clouds, a dragon’s breath mingled in the lightning, blasting toward the Sword Heavens.
Seeing the red giant dragon’s breath approaching, the Sword Heavens’ pupils contracted, using his sword to block.
Boom!
His whole body was heavily driven into the ground, suppressed fiercely by the dragon’s breath, the ground instantly scorched into a big pit, with only the spot where the Sword Heavens was standing unscathed.
"Talisman God, what are you waiting for, help!"
