“Stinky brat, this is where it ends!”
The Judge Demon Monarch wanted to perform well in front of the Demon Monarch Huanye. If he couldn’t even take down a mere Immortal Emperor of the Fifth Realm, once this got out back in the Demon Realm, he, the Judge Demon Monarch, would have no face left to remain there.
“Demon Chains Devouring Heart!”
With killing intent, the Judge Demon Monarch made his move with all his might. The vast demonic qi was absorbed by the demon shadow behind him. The demon shadow flung out millions of chains, striking Lu Changsheng and viciously smashing him into the ground!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Millions of chains fell, shaking the earth and mountains!
“Junior brother!”
“Master!”
Lin Qinghan, Lu Qinglian, Dugu Aotian, Chen Yi, and others inside the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower were all worried for Lu Changsheng.
They could see what was happening outside, witnessing Lu Changsheng being overwhelmingly crushed by the Judge Demon Monarch, nearly falling, and they couldn’t help but worry for him.
At this rate, even if Lu Changsheng possessed a body that surpassed the finest Emperor Soldiers, he would still be killed by the Judge Demon Monarch.
Lu Changsheng had not yet allowed those inside the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower to come out because he knew they couldn’t be of help and would only distract him.
“Everyone, do not worry. The master has not yet used the Dao Artifact. It’s very likely that he is feigning weakness.”
Lin Qingzhi, however, remained unusually calm.
He always felt that Lu Changsheng’s strength shouldn’t be like this.
The combat power Lu Changsheng displayed in front of the Judge Demon Monarch wasn’t indicative of his usual capabilities.
“Are you saying your master is putting on an act?” Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
After Lin Qingzhi mentioned this, Lin Qinghan calmed down.
Previously, when Lu Changsheng used “One Sword Across Ages” to annihilate an Elder of the Blood Sea Palace who was at the eighth realm of Immortal Emperor, the sword qi he displayed far surpassed the sword qi he exerted today.
In that case, it was very likely, as Lin Qingzhi had guessed, that Lu Changsheng was intentionally showing weakness to the Judge Demon Monarch.
But what was the purpose of Lu Changsheng simply taking a beating?
“To make the opponent drop their guard, and then… a counter-kill.”
As Lu Changsheng’s chief disciple, Lin Qingzhi was very familiar with the methods used by his master.
Boom!
As the last chain smashed down, mountains crumbled, and a huge crater appeared on the ground.
The Judge Demon Monarch hovered above the crater, his cold gaze sweeping over the deep pit below. Lu Changsheng, having been crushed by him, couldn’t possibly have survived.
“No, it’s not possible. There’s still a breath of life…!”
The Judge Demon Monarch sensed a weak breath still emanating from below.
After being pounded by his relentless attacks who knows how many times, Lu Changsheng hadn’t died yet?
Grasping the Judge Pen, the Judge Demon Monarch flew towards the deep pit, intending to personally kill Lu Changsheng and seize his treasures, and kill those hiding in the Treasure Space, so he could report back to the Demon Venerable.
“What on earth is this brat’s background? The Great Demon has clearly instructed us to kill him, and his flesh is so formidable.”
Even the Demon Monarch Huanye was somewhat surprised.
The Judge Demon Monarch was four realms higher than Lu Changsheng, did not hold back, and yet he still had a hard time killing Lu Changsheng.
As the Judge Demon Monarch reached the bottom of the pit, his hand opened, and the broken stones at the bottom flew up.
Demon Monarch Huanye was waiting outside when suddenly, she detected that Lu Changsheng’s life force was rapidly recovering. Moreover, it didn’t just stop upon reaching the Immortal Emperor of the Fifth Realm but burst through the Sixth Realm, the Seventh Realm of Immortal Emperor!
“Wait, no good! Judge Demon Monarch, it’s a trap!”
Demon Monarch Huanye hurriedly warned the Judge Demon Monarch, but it was too late.
A resplendent sword qi burst forth from the bottom of the pit, soaring to the skies!
The Qing Emperor Sword pierced the Judge Demon Monarch’s Dao core, devastating power disrupting the patterns within the core, causing it to shatter!
Lu Changsheng first took a Reversed Spirit Immortal Pill, restoring his injuries, followed by a Qilin Blood Essence Pill, temporarily boosting his cultivation to the ninth realm of the Immortal Emperor, equal to the Judge Demon Monarch.
In the state of an Immortal Emperor of the ninth realm, Lu Changsheng could execute the third sword realm of “One Sword Across Ages,” capable of slashing through Qi Destiny.
Originally, the Judge Demon Monarch had calculated that his life was not destined to end today and therefore was unguarded, but Lu Changsheng’s swordsmanship severed his Qi Destiny.
Disbelievingly staring at the Qing Emperor Sword that had entered his dantian, the Judge Demon Monarch didn’t have time to utter another word before falling.
In a normal exchange, for Lu Changsheng to instantly kill a great demon head like the Judge Demon Monarch would be no easy task.
However, Lu Changsheng deliberately showed weakness, giving the Judge Demon Monarch the illusion that he was being overpowered, leading the Judge Demon Monarch to believe Lu Changsheng’s cultivation was mediocre and that he was only tough and could take a lot of punishment, thus neglecting his guard.
The Judge Demon Monarch truly fell for it.
Being so close to Lu Changsheng, and with Lu Changsheng having suddenly advanced by four realms, the notorious Judge Demon Monarch of the Demon Realm died just like that.
“Incredible.”
Lin Qinghan, Liu Yiyi, Zhu Tianze, and others hiding inside the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Dragon Tower’s space were so astounded that their jaws dropped.
The perpetually beaten Lu Changsheng had suddenly killed the ferocious Judge Demon Monarch in one move, giving them a sense of unreality.
Lin Qing nodded, the master had indeed feigned weakness as he had speculated, causing the enemy to let down their guard.
“To be a candidate for Holy Son in the same era as this person is already a great honor,” sighed Ye Feng.
Originally dissatisfied with losing the position of Holy Son to Lu Changsheng and Jiang Yu, Ye Feng completely gave in after witnessing Lu Changsheng dispatch the Judge Demon Monarch, who was at the ninth realm of the Immortal Emperor, with one sword strike.
Jiang Yu’s face turned ashen.
The gap between him and Lu Changsheng was no longer just large, Lu Changsheng was like a mountain standing before the geniuses of the Holy Land of this era.
After killing the Judge Demon Monarch, Lu Changsheng, holding the Qing Emperor Sword, flew out of the deep pit and faced off against Demon Monarch Huanye.
In Lu Changsheng’s eyes, the Judge Demon Monarch was not the most significant threat, the real powerful enemy was the Demon Monarch Huanye before him.
This was the first time Lu Changsheng faced off against a strong opponent in the Divine King Realm.
Lu Changsheng had indeed dealt with Divine King Realm powerhouses before, such as Lin Xuantong, Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan, and Jiang Family Ancestor.
However, Lu Changsheng had never crossed hands with them.
The aura of Demon Monarch Huanye before him was inferior to Lin Xuantong’s, and even more so to Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan’s, she should be the weakest level among the Divine King Realm powerhouses.
But Demon Monarch Huanye was a Divine King Realm powerhouse nonetheless.
There’s a vast difference between the Divine King Realm and the ninth realm of the Immortal Emperor.
Lu Changsheng was also unsure if he could defeat Demon Monarch Huanye.
He could only risk a try.
Demon Monarch Huanye coldly eyed Lu Changsheng, the look of disdain she had earlier was gone from her eyes.
This kid not only had a cultivation level beyond her imagination but also maintained his composure in danger, cunningly killing the Judge Demon Monarch in one strike.
This meticulous mindset and patience, many Demon Chiefs from the Demon Realm could not achieve.
“You are a tremendous threat to our Demon Realm, it’s no wonder the Demon Venerable wants to kill you. I will not let you design my death like you did with the Judge Demon Monarch.”
Demon Monarch Huanye revved up her cultivation technique, her Demonic Qi towering skyward, and behind her appeared a pair of massive wings formed of Demonic Qi amidst a raging windstorm.
Extremely powerful.
Facing the Divine King Realm powerhouse, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and took out the Great Dao Thunder Prison Immortal Charm from his sleeve.
“Great Dao’s thunderous might, slay demons and bind evils! Swift as decree!”
Lu Changsheng’s True Qi poured into the Immortal Charm, the talismans glowing brightly with golden light, as thunder and lightning roared and twinkled in the firmament, with innumerable Great Dao Gold Thunders exploding.
Boom!
The heavens seemed to collapse as myriad gold thunders struck down!
“How could you possess such talismans?!”
Demon Monarch Huanye’s face changed.
Lu Changsheng’s arsenal was terrifyingly vast, and he even had a nineteenth-grade talisman!
The Demonic Qi wings shielded Demon Monarch Huanye’s head from the Great Dao Gold Thunders.
As the Great Dao Gold Thunders strike, the Demonic Qi wings kept shattering and reforming.
“Kid, you’re not killing me that easily.”
Despite being bombarded by countless Great Dao Gold Thunders and appearing somewhat ragged, Demon Monarch Huanye wasn’t in life-threatening danger.
The Great Dao Thunder Prison Immortal Charm exhausted a great amount of Lu Changsheng’s True Qi, so he hurriedly swallowed an Immortal Pill to recover it.
“Enough of this.”
Demon Monarch Huanye flapped the Demonic Qi wings behind her and vanished from the spot.
Lu Changsheng quickly tried to capture her position.
So fast!
Demon Monarch Huanye had already appeared behind Lu Changsheng at some point, with a Demon Sword in her hand: “Stinking brat, die.”
“You’ve fallen into my trap.”
Lu Changsheng was already holding the Dao Artifact, the Soul-Losing Desperate Bell. As the bell trembled, Demon Monarch Huanye’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits were shaken!
