Has the demon resurrected again?! freewёbnoνel.com
Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts trembled. The demon that had just been shattered by the Saint’s palm slowly began to reform its body and limbs.
Xiao Chen’s body was covered in withered branches, red pupils sprouted all over him, creating an utterly terrifying appearance. At this moment, Xiao Chen had completely fused with the demon.
Boom!
The old Saint struck with his palm once more. Under the immense power of the Saint, even the heavens and the earth seemed to change color! Yet, the result was the same as before.
Although its body was shattered again, it quickly reformed, almost as if it possessed immortality! Seeing the demon resurrect time and again, the crowd could no longer remain calm. A chilling sensation crept up their spines.
“What kind of demon is this? It’s terrifying…”
“I-I don’t know. Is it really impossible to kill?!”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard anything about demons. Where did this thing come from?”
“If it truly can’t be killed, how should we handle it?”
Just one demon was enough to terrify millions of cultivators. Such a creature was beyond comprehension, lacking human reasoning and wisdom, and the unknown was something people feared deeply.
Zhao Yunji was extremely worried about Lin Qian, yet she knew she couldn’t get close and had no place there. She shifted her focus back to the demon instead.
“Ye Yun, what on earth happened?” Zhao Yunji’s voice was cold as she questioned the injured Ye Yun, who had barely escaped.
“Your Highness… I don’t know either,” Ye Yun replied.
“Fool!” Zhao Yunji’s spiritual energy shot out, leaving a red mark on Ye Yun’s face. Her Autumn Pupil Eyes gleamed with a golden pressure that seemed to see through everything.
“We… accidentally entered a Yin Cave and found a sealed beast. Brother Xiao wanted to subdue it…” Ye Yun hesitated, his face pale.
“And you didn’t stop him?”
“We didn’t know it was a demon… and Brother Xiao was eager to grow stronger,” Ye Yun stammered.
“Ye Yun, from this day forward, you are relieved of your duty as Commander of the Guards!” Zhao Yunji’s voice was firm and absolute.
【Ding! Zhao Yunji is disappointed in Ye Yun, Ye Yun’s Luck Value -100, Host’s Villain Points +1000】
“Your Highness! Your Highness!” Ye Yun tried to protest, but Zhao Yunji no longer paid him any attention.
All eyes turned to the demon, which Xiao Chen had now become. At that moment, Sword Emperor Lin Weixuan took a step forward. He raised his hand, and his sword energy pierced through the air, shattering Xiao Chen’s body into near dust. The attack was so precise that the ground beneath remained untouched.
This was the power of the Sword Emperor, whose control over his strength was absolute. If he wanted to destroy something, it would be annihilated without causing collateral damage.
“Even the Sword Emperor has made a move!”
“That strike could fell a Saint!”
“Finally, it’s over. This thing is dead for sure now.”
“It’s turned to dust. There’s no way it can revive!”
The crowd sighed in collective relief. If this demon could still come back from that, it would be far too horrifying.
If even the Sword Emperor couldn’t kill the demon, who in the entire Canglan Dao Domain could?
The old Saint let out a breath of relief, thankful for the presence of the Sword Emperor. Without him, he wouldn’t have known how to handle the situation.
Suddenly, an eerie scene unfolded. The countless dust particles scattered in the air began to slowly gather, forming a body once more. Seeing this, everyone stood frozen, their mouths agape and their eyes wide in horror.
Moments later, Xiao Chen was completely restored.
“The demon… it’s back again…”
“Impossible! Even the Sword Emperor couldn’t kill it. Impossible!”
“It’s over… we’re doomed…”
Panic finally overtook the crowd. A demon that even the Sword Emperor couldn’t defeat, seemingly immortal… What kind of monster was this?
No wonder the very mention of demons sent shivers down people’s spines; their terror was beyond compare. Compared to demons, even the fiercest beasts seemed tame.
Lin Weixuan narrowed his eyes, hands clasped behind his back as he hovered in the air, deep in thought. His eyes flickered with star-like brilliance. “An ancient demon?” His voice was calm, but the situation had become troublesome.
“Does anyone know how to destroy this demon?” The Sword Emperor’s voice boomed, echoing in the ears of everyone present. His words even reached the ears of the reclusive Great Emperors of Tianjian City.
But if even the Sword Emperor had no solution, what could they possibly do? One by one, the Saints and quasi-Saints shook their heads in defeat.
“Sword Emperor, forgive me. I truly have no idea…”
“I will search the ancient records immediately. There must be a solution!”
“Reporting to the Sword Emperor, while this demon’s strength is not overwhelming, if it can’t be killed, perhaps it can be sealed to prevent further harm to the world.”
Lin Weixuan nodded slightly. If nothing else worked, sealing the demon was the only option left.
Meanwhile, the frenzied Xiao Chen shouted madly. “Lin Qi’an! Kill me! If you have the ability, kill me!” His voice was filled with manic laughter.
“If you don’t kill me, I’ll come to kill you! Hahaha… You will die by my hands, you will!”
“No matter where you run, I will find you…”
The Sword Emperor frowned. “Take this demon and seal it in the deepest layer of the Heavenly Prison, where it will never see the light of day.”
“Understood.”
Suddenly, a figure in white flew forward. “Father, let me try!”
“What do you think you’re doing? Get back and heal from the poison!” Mu Qingzhu’s voice rang out, commanding with authority.
Lin Weixuan pondered for a moment before nodding. “Go ahead,” he said. He could tell that his son was not seriously injured and was curious to see if this demon could truly be eliminated.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Qi’an flew forward once more.
“What is the Prince trying to do?”
“I don’t know. Wasn’t he just injured by that demon?”
Many people were concerned about Lin Qi’an’s condition. If he had indeed been poisoned by the demon and fell, it would be a huge loss for Beiyang. However, his complexion now seemed relatively normal, which brought some relief.
Zhao Yunji, upon seeing this, let out a quiet breath of relief. Then she paused. Wait, he’s no longer my fiancé—why am I still so worried about him? Shaking her head, she turned her attention back to see what Lin Qi’an was planning.
“Lin Qi’an, you are on the brink of death, yet you still dare to show off before me?” Xiao Chen roared, his voice crazed. “You will die! Hahaha!”
Pinned to the ground by the pressure of the Saint’s might, Xiao Chen screamed and writhed, completely consumed by madness.
Lin Qi’an raised both of his swords. The Thunder Calamity Sword was in his left hand, and the Nine Yang Divine Sword was in his right. He first activated the Heavenly Sword Thunder Technique.
With a deafening roar, dark clouds gathered in the clear sky, and a bolt of violet lightning suddenly struck down.
“Violet Heaven Divine Thunder!” Zhao Yunji’s pupils constricted in shock. She hadn’t expected Lin Qi’an to be able to summon the Violet Heaven Divine Thunder, even though it was of a lower level.
Though not the most powerful, Zhao Yunji herself had spent seven years mastering the art of summoning it through lightning techniques, and Lin Qi’an, who was on the path of sword cultivation, had somehow achieved it. A mix of confusion and complex emotions welled up within her.
Lin Qi’an caught the Violet Heaven Divine Thunder with the Thunder Calamity Sword. Instantly, the sword was engulfed in crackling lightning, radiating an aura of utter destruction. At the same time, the other sword—the Nine Yang Divine Sword—suddenly ignited with golden flames!
One thunder, one fire. The two forces illuminated Lin Qi’an’s handsome face, their lights blending together.
“What is the Prince planning to do?”
The next scene defied everyone’s understanding. Lin Qi’an brought the two swords together! The divine thunder and divine fire began to merge.
The terrifying aura of destruction spread wildly through the air, as if it would explode at any moment.
“Has the Prince gone mad?! Doesn’t he know that merging thunder and fire could cause a massive explosion?”
“Retreat! Retreat immediately!”
Countless people were already breaking into a cold sweat, their breaths held in fear of what might come next. If the fusion went out of control, it wouldn’t be surprising if Lin Qi’an was blown to pieces!
Even the Saint elder standing nearby instinctively took two steps back, deeply anxious. He knew he would have to save the Young Lord at the moment of detonation or risk being held accountable by the Sword Emperor. He steeled himself for the worst.
Zhao Yunji muttered to herself, “Is he a madman… or a genius?”
Violet Heaven Divine Thunder was a force of the heavenly dao. Even at its weakest, it was still a supreme existence. Forcing it to fuse with another element would cause a violent backlash, one not easily controlled. At least, she didn’t believe she could do it.
Yet, Lin Qi’an did it!
Though sweat poured down his face and his complexion turned pale, the fire and thunder, these two terrifying forces, were truly merging, no longer as chaotic as before.
Was he going to succeed?
“Has anyone ever tried something like this before?”
“Absolutely not. We’re witnessing a miracle…”
Under the gaze of millions, the Violet Heaven Divine Thunder and Nine Yang Divine Fire fused into one. The result was a purple-golden orb, as clear and radiant as glazed glass. What kind of power it contained, no one dared to imagine.
Lin Qi’an then directed this power into the Seven Stars Dragon Spring Sword.
“Go!” he commanded.
With a single point of his finger, the sacred sword, now imbued with divine thunder and otherworldly fire, shot forward and pierced Xiao Chen’s chest!
