Chapter 205 - Battle Against the Heavens, Eternally Indestructible
Chapter 205 - Battle Against the Heavens, Eternally Indestructible
"What the hell is that?" Bloody Wail caught a fleeting glimpse of the black-scaled beast, his face turning a ghastly pale.
"It lacks the aura of demons; not a demon, perhaps a different kind of beast," Ghost Marriage stated.
No sooner had they spoken than Yun Xiao, along with a demon, and two beasts, plunged into the midst of the demon horde!
In the distance, Moon Fairy, relying on his Chalk Flesh Armor enhanced by his Divine Desolation Physique, resisted the demon magic and sharp claws with brute force. Like a true king of beasts, the three-tailed demon fox crushed tigers, leopards, and mammoth demons with a single swipe, creating a visually explosive impact!
Though he appeared delicate, at his core, he was a berserker of flesh and blood, combined with his mind-bending demon magic, the contrast was at its peak.
And the black-scaled beast beside Yun Xiao? They were even simpler! It rampaged through, killing anything in its path!
Having devoured the treasures from Ye Qingtian and his entourage, Red Moon and Blue Star secretly hoarded more for themselves, using them to recuperate. Now, they unleashed their restored base strength, sparingly using their Saint Stones, yet still capable of cutting a swathe through these Wind Fire Tribulation Realm demon geniuses!
Demons carried riches too, and the black-scaled beast was adept at plundering. With a bite, it would kill its prey, and with a precise flick of its tongue, it shattered the Pouch of Holding hidden in their crude armor, swallowing whatever oddities lay inside.
In this manner, they grew stronger with every battle!
Coupled with Yun Xiao's relentless Flying Swords and endless daoist spells, they were truly three monsters!
Witnessing this scene, the remaining Demon Princes and Princesses knew they had to step up to exhaust Yun Xiao with the talents of the Demon Continent!
"This one's loaded!" Blue Star's azure eyes swept over the battlefield, locking onto the strongest resentment demon, Ghost Marriage, and charged through, shattering numerous demons along the way.
Meanwhile, Moon Fairy was encircled by four Demon Princes and Princesses, led by Lil Bone, with over three hundred demon geniuses attacking from the outer ring!
BOOM BOOM BOOM! The force of their demon magic shook the heavens, relentlessly breaking through Moon Fairy's defenses and raining down upon him
The White Bone Spirit surprisingly gathered the bones of the fallen demons around him, forming a gigantic demonic bone sphere with immense destructive power! He targeted Moon Fairy because, as a demon, he feared nothing except the Sword Soul of a Sword Cultivator!
Yun Xiao wanted to swoop in and devour the White Bone Spirit, but he was surrounded by more than five hundred demon geniuses, even more than those around Moon Fairy!
These demons were in a frenzy, their eyes bloodshot!
They revealed their true forms—insects, snakes, birds, beasts, plants, and resentful spirits—a bizarre assortment of creatures. Their myriad tactics were weird and wondrous, incessant and overwhelming, causing great trouble for Yun Xiao!
He knew this battle wouldn't be easy!
"To overcome these unfathomable demon magics, there's only one way—cut through the chaos with a swift blade, exterminating them with even greater speed!" Yun Xiao unleashed another elemental sphere, exploding all around and blasting the attacking demons into bloody shreds. Then, gulping down a mouthful of enhanced Heavenly Dao Sariras, he stepped onto his Sovereign Sword and leaped into the air!
Constellation Slaying Sword, Fleeting Moon!
The art of the Sovereign Sword, man and sword as one!
He transformed into a raging storm of sword energy, slicing through the demon horde. Where his Sword Aura and Sword Rings passed, more Wind Fire Tribulation Realm demons were ground into blood dust!
POP POP POP! Yun Xiao's Water Mist Shields were being continuously destroyed by stray attacks, the impact rocking him to the core.
In terms of physical strength, Yun Xiao's true body was actually weaker, so he had to rely on magic shields for protection and remain utterly focused!
BOOM! As Yun Xiao led the charge with Fleeting Moon, his six-foot Sovereign Sword crushed through the masses like surfing on a sea of blood, leaving a trail of severed limbs and broken bodies!
The final strike bent the sword! With a flick of its tip, the giant azure sword swung horizontally, its sharp edge slicing off a Demon Prince's head as it turned!
A headless monkey corpse spurted blood from its severed neck, gushing forth like a fountain.
PSHT PSHT PSHT! In that instant, the ground beneath burst forth with countless blood-red vines!
These vines were peculiar, resembling elongated lotus roots or segmented arms, numbering in the tens of thousands. With their blood-red poisonous thorns, they formed a sky full of bloody illusions, lashing towards Yun Xiao.
"Son of the Red Lotus?!" Yun Xiao dispelled the surrounding demon magics and cut down several demons rushing at him. The onslaught of these blood-red vines posed another lethal threat.
This was Blood Wail's demon magic, Blood Lotus Tomb, a lethal attack for any creature of flesh and blood. Once ensnared, one's essence would be devoured completely!
Though young, Bloody Wail's true form, a lotus hidden underground, bore countless skeletal heads.
To the common folk, this demon was even more terrifying than the Eternal Joy Demon Emperor!
While the Eternal Joy Demon Emperor merely sapped souls painlessly, the Blood Lotus gruesomely devoured its victims alive!
Bloody Wail was ranked fourth on the betting odds! He was at the Late Demon Saint Realm! He was comparable to the average Demon Saint! He didn't rank among the 108 Demon Saints simply because he was too young. In addition, he didn't need such titles yet. His future was to be a Demon Emperor!
This was precisely why the Demon Continent valued these Demon Princes and Princesses so highly. Along with the three great resentment demons, Tian Lu, and previously Moon Fairy... the Demon Continent was guaranteed to have at least six Demon Emperors in the next generation!
Although the Divine Continent boasted six human Emperors, only the Divine Dawn Empress and the Violet Emperor truly matched the Demon Emperors. The others weren't much different from Ye Qingtian.
Now, with Angry Cauldron and Tian Lu gone and Moon Fairy switching sides, the future of the Demon Continent was halved!
"The other half starts with you!" Yun Xiao locked his gaze on Bloody Wail, gripping his three-foot azure blade, plummeting from the sky like a planet! This was a sword technique descending from the heavens!
It was the fourth sword of the Constellation Slaying Sword—Planet Fall!
HUM! Clad in white, Yun Xiao soared, becoming a pale sword-shaped celestial body at the moment of his strike! This sword illuminated the entire field in an instant, with over two hundred layers of Sword Aura creating a storm, entwining the four great demon magics of water, blood, wind, and thunder!
Suddenly, ninety-nine crimson eyes appeared in the sky!
In the center of these ninety-nine blood-soul eyes, Yun Xiao and his Heaven Burial Sword Soul became the final eye of the Night March of a Hundred Ghosts! This eye, formed from the Sword Aura storm, shone like a brilliant planet in the heavens, thunderously plummeting down!
"Blood Wail, run!" Before many demons could even utter these three words, Yun Xiao's sword beam had already pierced deep underground!
BOOM! The ground shattered thunderously, a maelstrom of sand and dust arose, engulfing the sky in smoke and debris!
BOOM BOOM BOOM! Countless sword rays surged from the ground, chasing and shredding the blood-red vines into dust!
Deep underground, a flamboyant blood lotus exploded into a mist of blood. From its core, a twisted face emerged, snarling, "My death matters not! Your people of the Divine Continent will join me in the afterlife, bursting the paths to the underworld!"
As its words fell, Yun Xiao's Planet Fall, descending from the heavens, struck the blood lotus! The sword beam burst forth, shattering the blood lotus into countless bloody petals, roots, and leaves!
"Trying to escape?" Yun Xiao sheathed his sword and extended his hand, summoning countless phoenixes from his palm, soaring upwards!
HUM HUM HUM! Each phoenix swooped down on a fragment of the blood lotus, incinerating every piece into nothingness!
This was one of the Grand Temple's top daoist spells, known as Thousand Mountain Phoenix!
Bloody Wail's cries echoed pitifully; no matter how strong, it was obliterated completely!
With hundreds of daoist spells on hand, Yun Xiao's arsenal was unrivaled in the Heavenly Realm.
Having slain Bloody Wail, hundreds of demons seized the chance to attack. But Yun Xiao stomped his foot, raising a wave of soil that buried him, blocking countless fatal strikes!
BOOM! The next instant, Yun Xiao burst forth from another patch of land! He emerged right beside Moon Fairy!
RUMBLE! Moon Fairy had just shattered a white bone behemoth, its remains crashing in front of Yun Xiao!
The behemoth sneered, its shattered body reassembling, evidently growing even larger!
Just then, Yun Xiao struck from behind, his Flying Sword piercing through the gaps in the bones, hitting the heart-like core of the behemoth!
That was the essence of the resentful bone!
The Heaven Burial Sword Soul penetrated deep into the bone!
The rank two resentment demon, Lil Bone, let out a heart-wrenching scream!
BOOM BOOM BOOM! Moon Fairy, a blur of white, repelled the surrounding demons while attacking the bone behemoth. Meanwhile, Yun Xiao plunged into the bone behemoth's body, grasping the Heaven Burial Sword Soul and thrusting fiercely!
"Ugh!" Lil Bone trembled, struggled, and wailed! For him, a Sword Cultivator was a living nightmare! And now, that nightmare had become reality. It was like the marrow of his bones were being sucked out!
"Save... save..."
BOOM! Lil Bone was pinned down under Yun Xiao's foot, crumpling to the ground!
And those demons around, with their bloodshot eyes, charged fiercely but met their demise under Moon Fairy's claws, unable to even distract Yun Xiao!
Lil Bone had gathered so many demonic bones, saving Yun Xiao the trouble. In a short time, each bone, once brimming with demonic energy, dimmed.
Yun Xiao's Sword Aura grew steadily! These bones from the Demon Continent's geniuses, although fresh, were of high quality. Due to their lineage, they added a substantial amount to his Sword Aura.
"Demon... Demon Continent... our race... battles against the heavens, eternally indestructible..." As Lil Bone murmured these words, the ghostly fire in his eyes finally dimmed.
CRASH! The thousands of bones Lil Bone had gathered crumbled into dust.
And amidst this cloud of dust, Yun Xiao's Sword Soul's aura layers surged to over four hundred! Its hardness now surpassed even Galaxy grade magic treasures!
"Bloody Wail and Lil Bone are dead too!"
"Of the ten Demon Princes and Princesses, only Ghost Marriage remains..."
The surviving talents of the Demon Continent saw this and felt their hearts nearly shatter, their demonic blood boiling over.
In their eyes, looking at Yun Xiao and Moon Fairy, deep fear and despair had set in.
But demons will be demons! Even in such terror, their inherent ferocity and indifference to death could not be suppressed. They still screamed and charged at Yun Xiao and Moon Fairy, their blood-red eyes filled with brutality and undying hatred.
"Kill! Kill!" They had no other choice but to gamble on Yun Xiao exhausting his strength and dying! They couldn't imagine the pain and despair the Demon Continent's elders and strong ones would feel if they saw them slaughtered when the battlefield opened!
For them, the fear of Moon Fairy continuing to lurk in the Demon Continent was greater. Who knew what tricks Moon Fairy could still pull off?
However, with Ghost Marriage being the only Demon Saint left alive, these remaining demons posed little threat to Yun Xiao, a monstrous warrior bolstered by Heavenly Dao Sariras.
Even his Moon Fairy body double was getting tired!
"It's almost over!" Killing to this extent, even Yun Xiao had become numb! Undoubtedly, his physical exhaustion had reached its limit! The relentless fighting spirit of these Demon Continent geniuses also exerted a certain pressure on him!
They were just too fearless in death! He could only numbly kill! Kill until his arms were weak! In the end, he was drenched in blood, even his hair was dyed crimson! Beneath him, not a single intact demon corpse remained!
Looking around, the entire battlefield was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
BOOM! Just then, the strongest resentment demon, Ghost Marriage, seemed to have fallen too.
The black-scaled beast didn't fight it one-on-one; they too were besieged, so it took until now to finish off Ghost Marriage and hundreds of demons, greatly relieving Yun Xiao's burden!
"This thing sure had a heavy grudge!" Transforming back into a small black beast, it returned to Yun Xiao's embrace, still complaining about Ghost Marriage.
"I'm exhausted!" Red Moon said with its tongue lolling out.
"Is it completely dead?"
Yun Xiao looked towards where Ghost Marriage had fallen, a little disappointed that he hadn't personally fought this strongest talent of the Demon Continent. For some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy!
"Hmm, not dead yet?" Blue Star was startled, joining Yun Xiao in scrutinizing the spot!
It was certain, all two thousand demons were dead! Including the ones with strong vitality like Lil Bone, Bloody Wail, and Angry Cauldron, Yun Xiao had double-checked their deaths! But Ghost Marriage...
BANG! Yun Xiao was startled to see the 'corpse' move again!
"Truly the strongest resentful demon, the future overlord of the Demon Continent!" Yun Xiao frowned. It seemed the biggest trouble of the day was yet to be resolved!
Fortunately, there was still plenty of time! Under the watchful eyes of Yun Xiao, Moon Fairy, and the little black beast, Ghost Marriage finally stood up.
BANG! The paper woman moved. She unclasped her arms from around the neck of the gaunt, pale young man and descended from his back.
The moment she stood on the ground, the pale young man collapsed rigidly, his eyes rolling back, skin turning violet, his body's rich demonic aura dissipating!
This young man was unmistakably a human! Previously concealed by the demonic aura, Yun Xiao had completely thought he was part of the demons. But now, only the eerie paper woman remained!
She stood atop the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, slowly lifting her head, her hollow gaze hauntingly fixing on Yun Xiao.
The scene was indescribably eerie. Her white paper eyes suddenly began to weep, emitting a soft, wailing cry. This cry, at last, sounded like a woman's. Before, her voice was male, speaking through the young man's corpse.
"In love, if it endures through time, what does it matter if it's day by day or night by night..." She wept and wailed to Yun Xiao. Her voice was soft and mournful, bringing tears to the listener's eyes, weighing heavily on their hearts.
Yun Xiao felt a strange sense of familiarity.
"Show your true face," he commanded, gripping his three-foot azure blade, his gaze stern and murderous.
The paper woman trembled, her plain paper face somehow conveying a heart-wrenching sorrow. She reached out a trembling finger, touching her own eyes, pushing into the sockets, tearing the paper figure apart!
The broken face slowly opened its mouth, whispering, "Junior Brother Yun..."
