Chapter 344 - 183: Grievous Losses for the Demon Fiends, Gu Yun Strikes
But in the next moment, its expression changed as if it had seen a ghost, its eyes filled with utter disbelief and extreme horror!
"D-Dao Domain Power!"
"You’re only in the Tongxuan Middle Stage! How could you have comprehended a Dao Domain?!"
Xue Ying’s voice was hoarse and heavy with disbelief.
No matter how it tried to use its Demonic Power to heal, the wounds wouldn’t close. A mysterious and tyrannical force was preventing its body from regenerating, relentlessly annihilating its flesh. It was unstoppable!
’A prodigy of the Human Race! This is definitely a prodigy of the Human Race!’
’To think that in this insignificant Celestial Essence Realm, I’d encounter a peerless prodigy who grasped Dao Domain Power while still in the Tongxuan Realm.’
’A genius of this caliber would be considered a prodigy even among the tens of thousands of worlds in the Cangwu Immortal Continent.’
’Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he has a great chance of becoming a Tribulation Cosmos Venerable, blessed with a ten-thousand-year lifespan and the power to roam the cosmos!’
’With that kind of power, he would be considered a formidable expert even in the Cangwu Immortal Continent.’
"We truly miscalculated! To think a tiny realm like the Celestial Essence Realm would hide a prodigy like you!" Xue Ying’s face was a mask of bitter resentment.
Then, it roared hoarsely, "Even if you kill me, the Demon Lord will ultimately destroy the Celestial Essence Realm! None of you will be able to stop him!"
They were merely pawns carrying out a superior’s orders. With its death, the mission given by the Demon Lord had failed, but this would do nothing to deter the Demon Lord’s determination to devour the Celestial Essence Realm.
"Die!"
Ye Xuantian paid no heed to Xue Ying’s words, his eyes as cold as ever. He raised his hand and pressed down slightly. A surge of Dao Rhyme Power flowed out, and the massive sword shadow impaling Xue Ying instantly obliterated its body.
’The Demon Lord... interesting.’
’I can just as easily destroy him in the future.’
A flash of killing intent glinted in Ye Xuantian’s profound eyes.
’He’d never heard of this so-called Demon Lord. He was probably just some big shot from the Demon Race.’
’But so what?’ There wasn’t the slightest trace of fear in Ye Xuantian’s eyes.
He recalled his past life, when he had roamed the Immortal Continents freely. His power had surpassed the Tribulation Cosmos realm, and his name had been renowned throughout the Canglan Great Realm and its many Immortal Continents.
So, this Demon Lord was nothing to be afraid of in his eyes.
What truly worried him were those beings who had descended from beyond this world and annihilated the Sect.
’Those beings are far stronger than any Demon Fiend!’
At this thought, Ye Xuantian felt a sudden wave of pressure.
’I’m still too weak. The Tongxuan Realm is nowhere near enough!’
Luckily, he still had time. If he remembered correctly, there were still several decades before those beings would descend and annihilate the Sect.
At the same time, Ye Xuantian waved his hand, sending an ultimate stream of Sword Qi toward Shen Qing in the distance. The Sword Qi shot across the sky, tearing through space with annihilating power as it hurtled toward the two remaining Demon Fiends.
In the distance,
"BOOM!"
after a fierce collision, Shen Qing’s figure flashed backward, enveloped in a terrifying Sword Intent.
"My hide is thick and my flesh is tough,"
"not at all like that brittle little eagle!" the Celestial Bull declared with a smug, simple-minded grin as it stood in the void. Its voice was filled with pride.
Shen Qing hovered in midair, his green robes fluttering. His eyes were grave.
’This Ox Demon is incredibly durable,’ he thought. ’My Sword Intent can’t seem to harm it, causing only superficial wounds at best. For a Demon Fiend, injuries like that heal in an instant and have no real effect.’
Blood seeped from beneath his green robes, gradually staining the fabric. He had managed to slay the winged Demon Fiend after a fierce battle, but not without suffering grievous injuries himself.
"Durable?
Hmph. Master Shen will slay you just like that other Demon Fiend!" A cold glint flashed in Shen Qing’s eyes as he spoke, his voice laced with killing intent.
He might not have been able to harm his opponent, but in a war of words, Shen Qing clearly held the upper hand.
"Kill me? You think this old bull is a weakling like Dark Eagle!"
"This old bull is angry now, and the consequences will be severe!" A murderous glint flashed in the Celestial Bull’s large, bell-like eyes as its towering, majestic body erupted with terrifying, dark-green Demon Qi.
"Hmm?!"
Suddenly, just as the Celestial Bull was about to charge Shen Qing, an extreme sense of crisis welled up within it.
It looked up, its large, bell-like eyes narrowing abruptly.
A supreme blade of light, like a river of stars, streaked across the sky. It bore a supreme power, tearing through space as it descended upon him, blotting out the heavens.
’This is bad!’
Instinct told it that taking this blow head-on could mean death!
It didn’t believe a single attack could kill its pure-blooded, thick-hided body, but it chose to trust its instinct.
"Celestial Bull Flash!"
The Celestial Bull’s large, bell-like eyes hardened. Its towering body stomped on the void, and its figure flickered, reappearing thousands of miles away in an instant as if it had traversed the void itself. It had successfully dodged the ultimate Sword Intent that streaked across the sky like a river of stars!
When it took a moment to sense its surroundings,
a look of shocked terror appeared on its face. Xue Ying, Nether Tiger, Bai Ye... they were all dead!
’What kind of monster is this Human Race prodigy?!’
’He actually managed to kill all three of them!’
’No wonder that sword strike gave me such a sense of crisis. If I had tried to block it, I’d have been severely wounded, if not killed.’
’This won’t work!
This old bull has to get out of here.’
The thought flashed through the Celestial Bull’s mind, and a sharp glint flickered in its eyes.
Its thick fingers formed a profound Dharma Seal, and its body transformed into a streak of light, racing toward the edge of the crimson Barrier!
...
「Outside the Barrier.」
A figure clad in a white Profound Robe stood suspended in the void. Arcs of thunder flickered around him, and he radiated a terrifying aura.
Gu Yun stared grimly at the crimson Barrier before him, which spanned thousands of miles.
’This Array is simply impregnable,’ he thought. He had bombarded the Barrier several times without any significant effect. ’Is it really impossible to get inside?’
"Hmm?"
Gu Yun’s brow furrowed. His Divine Thought perceived a Demon Fiend with immense Demonic Power racing toward the edge of the Array.
The next moment, a Demon Fiend with bull horns, a massive frame, and large, bell-like eyes emerged from the crimson Barrier. It stood suspended in the void, wreathed in a terrifying, dark-green Demon Qi.
"Phew!
The air out here feels so much better." The corner of the Celestial Bull’s simple-looking face curled into a slight smile.
"Hmm?!"
In the next instant, the Celestial Bull’s brow furrowed, and its large, bell-like eyes shot forward like lightning.
Its voice was deep as it growled, "The Human Race is as cunning as they say, even stationing a Cultivator to lie in wait outside the Blood Heaven Extremity Array!"
Gu Yun neither confirmed nor denied the accusation. A flash of lightning glinted in his eyes, as sharp and brilliant as a thunderbolt tearing through a dim sky.
"Audacious Demon Fiend!"
The next moment, gnarled bolts of dancing lightning erupted around him. They swirled with a terrifying Dao Rhythm, releasing an aura that made the very heavens and earth tremble!
"Now, die for me!"
Gu Yun extended his arm in midair. He spread his fingers into a palm and pressed forward. Instantly, thousands of thunderbolts erupted from the void, tearing through space. Like a Celestial Punishment, they descended upon the Celestial Bull with supreme Divine Power, blotting out the sky!
