Chapter 225 - 117: Ultimate Form
"Boom!"
The Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect expands abruptly to a height of ten thousand feet, moving the heavens and earth.
Below, Hidden Sword Peak, already devastated by the war’s impact, is now further on the brink of ruin. The mountain is collapsing, the earth cracking, dust swirling, all accentuating the demon’s shadow like a towering mountain.
"Roar!!!"
The Ten Thousand Dao Celestial Demons let out an angry roar; the Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique once again reveals its power, absorbing the Ten Directions Primordial Spirits with its world-devouring might. Life within a hundred miles extinguishes; not a single living being remains, and even vegetation turns to dust, leaving behind a barren wasteland.
This is the power of devouring heaven, but more so, the might of the Primordial Spirit.
Without the strength of the Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect, relying solely on the Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique, it could still plunder the Ten Directions Essence Yuan, but it could never be as strong or thorough.
The path of cultivation follows or defies the world, always revolving around the concept of "heaven and earth." Golden Core Nascent Soul can use magical power to influence the heavens and earth, transforming Primordial Spirits in a region, creating something akin to a "domain."
But such ability is limited by the world. For instance, if in a snowy realm, attempting to create a Fire Spirit Forbidden Realm would not only fail but also suffer decreased power, heavily constrained by the earthly environment.
Primordial Spirit Cultivators differ, though. The power of the Dharma Aspect can manipulate the heavens to some extent, changing world truths and laws, greatly reducing environmental constraints. Even ice and snow can assist fire, enabling the creation of a Dharma Aspect Forbidden Realm, with undiminished and even enhanced power.
The two may sound similar, but one changes the world defiantly, while the other reforms it in harmony. Primordial Spirit uses the Dharma Aspect to engage the great way of heaven, making the world match one’s self, whereas Nascent Soul Golden Core forcefully alters the world with individual power—the contrast between defiance and harmony is as stark as night and day.
The nature is entirely different, with power substantial in disparity, creating a gap between realms, leading to the saying: only Primordial Spirit can resist Primordial Spirit; only Dharma Aspect can counter Dharma Aspect—without extraordinary skill, it’s impossible to surpass this celestial barrier.
Utilizing the Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect’s power, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique exploits its abilities, devouring the essence of Primordial Spirits within a hundred miles, then transforming them with the Heavenly Demon Great Method, causing the demonic might to surge wildly, shocking the world’s vision.
"This is..."
"Great Black Sky Demon Skill?"
"Has he also cultivated the Great Black Sky Demon Skill?"
"This demon’s ability is truly remarkable among the Primordial Spirits!"
Facing the ten-thousand-foot tall demonic shadow, even the Mystic Sect Nascent Soul shows terror in their eyes.
"Ho!!!"
Celestial Slaughter Demon Monarch reveals his Dharma Aspect, converting the Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique, transforming Ten Thousand Dao Forest, and turning it into a destructive skill, utilizing destruction against destruction, healing internal saber wounds, and dissipating the Three Calamities Karmic Fire.
Indeed—it is the Great Black Sky!
Because of cultivating the Ten Thousand Dao of Celestial Demon Great Method, Celestial Slaughter Demon Monarch can transform the Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect into myriad appearances, among which, three Great Demon Skills stand out: the Ten Thousand Dao Forest’s Ten Thousand Dao Celestial Demons, the Heaven-Devouring Giant Demon, and the world-destroying Great Black Sky Demon.
Now, as Celestial Slaughter transforms, he becomes the Great Demon, the Great Dark Celestial Demon.
This is the Demon God of Destruction, excelling in combat against others, surpassing the Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique. The Black Demon Sect, one of the Three Fierce of the West Sea, stems from this source; little did he know, he also dabbled and cultivated the Black Heaven Dharma Aspect.
"Black Celestial Slaughter!"
Celestial Slaughter Demon Monarch morphs into a Demon God, unleashing a demonic palm, striking the enemy with the might of annihilation.
"Broken Moon!"
The swordsman remains unafraid, flipping to rotate the saber’s edge, dark red saber light forming a storm whirlwind. A thousand sword qi surge forth, colliding with the Demon God, cutting through layers of demonic might.
It’s the Six Demonic Saber Techniques—Broken Moon!
Sunfall enters extinction; Broken Moon grinds away, forming a qualitative change from a quantitative attack, an offensive and defensive move.
In an instant, ten thousand swords spin fiercely, reducing the opponent’s demonic might by seventy percent.
"Bang!!!"
Yet thirty percent remains unreduced, violently pounding down, causing the demon saber to spin back, crashing into the mountain behind, shattering its body, rocks scattering like clouds.
"Huh!?"
Severely injuring the opponent, regaining some ground, but the Demon God shows no joy, instead uttering words of surprise: "Where is your Dharma Aspect?"
"Boom!"
Words of surprise receive no reply, with only a dark light, breaking through the broken rocks, slicing toward the opponent once again.
"Damn it!"
Celestial Slaughter’s eyes narrow, the Demon God erupts, and a giant palm strikes the demon saber, filled with boundless killing intention.
The boy—must not be spared!
Though unaware of the South Sea affair, through the exchange, he discovers some clues.
This one has not achieved Divinity Transformation but is Nascent Soul!
Only Primordial Spirit can resist Primordial Spirit, only Dharma Aspect can counter Dharma Aspect.
Now that he has revealed his Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect, logically the opponent should respond with equal means, qualifying both for contention.
But he hasn’t, still attacking with his saber, not using Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect.
Why is this?
Holding back?
Absolutely impossible, illogical!
In such a confrontation, who would hold back, who could hold back?
Celestial Slaughter admits he cannot, and assumes the opponent cannot.
Thus, his absence of Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect only has one explanation: he hasn’t achieved Primordial Spirit, lacks Dharma Aspect, has none to use.
This answer makes Celestial Slaughter even harder to accept.
No Dharma Aspect means Nascent Soul!
This person is still merely in the Nascent Soul stage?
With a Nascent Soul body, against an illustrious Divinity Transformation, still able to fight to such a level?
Understand that he is a prodigy, cultivated Ten Thousand Dao, Heaven-Devouring, Black Heaven three great demon skills, crossing tribulation to achieve the way, even among Primordial Spirits he is extraordinary, qualified to rival long-standing old demons like the Three Fierce of the West Sea or the North South Two Madmen.
This person has yet to achieve Primordial Spirit, relying only on Nascent Soul power, yet matches him evenly, even winning a small victory before using Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect—how can he accept such circumstances?
But facts lay before him; regardless of acceptance, he must accept.
Thus, after a moment of shock, killing intent emerges.
