Therefore, he no longer cared about these little guys, put away the sky-covering golden electric net, picked up his Guan Dao again, turned around and rushed into the sky. The Guan Dao in his hand unleashed terrifying lightning, killing those dreadful behemoths one by one!
Whether it was a giant toad that looked like it was standing up, a demon whose fingers were like steel knives, or a demon with four arms, each with a huge claw like a crab at the end, none of them were a match for him.
In just a few rounds, the number of Golden Core stage extraterrestrial demons who died at his hands reached double digits in an instant.
Chapter 628 A Heavenly Demon in the Nascent Soul Stage
These achievements could be seen as a symbol that his strength had reached a new level. However, at this moment, Yun Chu'an felt no joy at all.
Because at the central pillar, the Daoist female cultivator and Sheng Linglong were busy with something, while the extraterrestrial demons who rushed into this secret realm were still increasing in strength.
Until a certain critical point is crossed.
"Roar--"
A terrifying roar resounded from beyond the sky, and everyone looked up, their hearts trembling.
Beyond that spatial barrier, in a chaotic void, a gigantic head slowly peered into the void.
It was nearly ten meters in diameter and tall, with its enormous mouth taking up two-thirds of its entire head. Its forehead, sideburns, cheeks, and chin were covered with ghastly white skull fragments, as if silently recounting the many evil deeds it had committed.
Upon seeing the fluctuations generated by that guy, all the cultivators present felt a chill run down their spines.
A celestial demon with the strength of the Nascent Soul stage has appeared!
Yun Chu'an's heart trembled, but then he gritted his teeth and resolved to confront him head-on.
In fact, after this period of fierce fighting, he had discovered that although the extraterrestrial demons might have cultivation levels similar to some cultivators, due to their chaotic will, it was almost impossible for them to learn any systematic combat routines or magical abilities.
Therefore, their methods are actually extremely limited!
Perhaps because of their talent, they can be very good at one thing, but because of their limited methods, their weaknesses are also very limited!
"Everyone, do not panic!"
In this critical moment, he wanted to raise his arms and shout, but unexpectedly, Yan Shuiyi called out first: "The strength of the extraterrestrial demons is limited, as you all have probably already felt. As long as the coordination is exquisite, killing enemies above one's level is by no means difficult on this battlefield!"
"Gentlemen, please follow me and slay this monster!"
As she shouted so loudly, below, Sima Lixin, holding a steel whip, had just killed a three-headed extraterrestrial demon with the strength of a Golden Core cultivator. However, he himself was now covered in blood and seriously injured.
Upon seeing a woman he didn't recognize spouting such nonsense, his anger flared up instantly. Extremely indignant, he roared at the sky, "Who are you to dare order us around like this!"
These words immediately drew a crowd of agreement, with many believing that this seemingly ordinary rogue cultivator was being far too arrogant and ignorant.
Are you kidding me? Who are we? Prodigies from prestigious families around the world. Who do you think you are to order us around?
This was their true mindset. Upon seeing this, Yan Shui was stunned. Only then did she realize that she had been fighting too hastily and had forgotten to remove her disguise.
Immediately, she wiped her face, revealing her true appearance, and said with an undeniable firmness, "I am Yan Shuiyi!"
A moment of silence fell over the battlefield, everyone stunned by the news. But they quickly recovered, having no time for reflection. With faces beaming with joy, they shouted Yan Shuiyi's name and took off into the sky, speeding away.
Jiang Congqian was especially so. He was glad that although he had been disdainful and contemptuous, he hadn't spoken up immediately, thus avoiding offending the other party.
At that moment, he felt both fortunate and excited. Looking at the misty waters above the sky, he shouted, "I'm here to help you!" and sped forward.
His mind involuntarily began to imagine that after the two of them defeated the terrifying giant skull demon together, they would stand side by side in the sky, and the whole world would think they were a match made in heaven...
Jiang Congqian was filled with anticipation and joy, but then, a golden divine lightning bolt suddenly shot into the sky. The Yellow River Dragon Prince snapped back to reality and saw Yun Chu'an soaring into the sky first, surprisingly the first to respond to Yan Shuiyi and join her in attacking the giant-headed demon!
Suddenly, he felt a surge of anxiety.
That Yun Chu'an, he must have the same idea as me, to attract Yan Shuiyi's attention and win her heart in the end!
We can't let him get there first; we have to act now!
"Evil, suffer death!"
Immediately, the Yellow River Dragon Son roared and his body transformed into a bolt of purple lightning, hurtling towards the sky!
The giant-headed demon opened its mouth wide and let out a terrifying roar that chilled the soul. You Wensi and Rong Jieyu were most familiar with this technique, and immediately, they each cast spells to protect Yun Chuan's soul.
But the latter didn't need their protection at all. He used "Bodhi Mirror Platform" to return the giant demon's mental attack to its original path, and then roared for the two of them to protect Yan Shuiyi.
You Wensi and the other man naturally wouldn't disobey his orders. They turned around and sped away, using their soul-seizing techniques in reverse to counter the terrifying roar of the giant head demon and neutralize its mental attacks. Although it was much less effective, it could at least be considered a layer of protection.
Under these protections, Yan Shui displayed incredible prowess. Her figure streaked across the sky like a streak of light, and the sword energy from her longsword left a terrifying, bone-revealing wound on the giant demon's surface, causing the latter to roar in excruciating pain, bleeding profusely and trembling incessantly.
Yun Chu'an caught up with Yan Shuiyi, activating his lightning magic to strike the man's wounds, expanding the battle's gains and causing the massive demonic aura to dissipate even further, almost to the point of collapse.
Jiang Congqian caught up with them. He originally intended to defeat the demon head-on, but after taking a mental shock from it, he realized that this was not a wise move since he had no one to cover him.
Immediately, he followed Yun Chu'an's footsteps, and only after confirming that the environment was safe did he dare to unleash the full version of "Three Thousand Spring Suns" to attack the extraterrestrial demon.
Two bolts of lightning, one golden and one purple, followed behind Yan Shuiyi, relentlessly widening the wounds on the giant demon's body. The other cultivators had originally planned to provide assistance, but they later discovered that most of their methods for protecting their minds were ineffective against the terrifying roar of this heavenly demon, so they had to give up for the time being.
The giant-headed demon howled in pain, then opened its mouth and sucked in hundreds of mosquito-like demons, which it then ate, digested, and used to heal its wounds.
The aftershocks of the battle between the two sides would claim the lives of countless mosquito demons. Unfortunately, all this reinforcement would be a drop in the ocean.
In the end, Yan Shui swung her sword, unleashing a sword light that pierced the heavens and the earth, two divine lightning bolts, one golden and one purple, piercing the demon's eye sockets. The enormous extraterrestrial demon howled as it fell, its body gradually crumbling and disintegrating, its boundless, ferocious, and turbid spiritual power turning into dust, ultimately dissipating into the world.
Thus, what seems like a miracle of a Golden Core cultivator killing a Nascent Soul cultivator has happened again today!
"Drink——!"
Jiang Congqian let out a long, exhilarating roar. Even though his injuries had not fully healed, it did not stop him from feeling incredibly satisfied with the fight.
He glanced at Yun Chu'an and Yan Shuiyi, and inwardly exclaimed, "The three of us are truly amazing! Together, we can even kill enemies at the Nascent Soul stage!" (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated to the previous sentences.)
He was in high spirits and hoped to see the same expression on Yun Chu'an and Yan Shui's faces, but the latter two were solemn and showed almost no joy.
Yun Chu'an looked up at the sky with a gloomy face. There, the shattered spatial barrier was opening up even larger cracks, and there, two more enormous giant demons were slowly revealing their terrifying figures.
The crisis is intensifying.
"How long will it take to repair the barrier!" he couldn't help but roar down at the crowd below, his voice trembling slightly.
Below, Su Youling was also extremely anxious and had no energy to answer him. Sheng Linglong was also extremely anxious, but upon hearing this, she suppressed her emotions and replied, "Hang in there, it'll be over soon!"
Yun Chu'an took a deep breath, looked up at the two giant skull demons that were getting closer and closer in the sky, and gripped the Guan Dao in his hand tightly.
Chapter 629 Death in battle
His spiritual energy was almost depleted. Although theoretically he possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root and could recover while fighting, however…
Looking at the enormous, terrifying-looking giant demon before him, he sighed softly, knowing that this idea was actually somewhat impractical.
The intensity of this battle might not be enough to sustain him while he's fighting and recovering...
Moreover, some trade-offs must be made!
He turned to look in Yan Shuiyi's direction, and the latter turned his head just as well. Facing two giant demons at the same time, they had absolutely no chance of winning. The best solution now was to concentrate their forces and eliminate one of them!
"Come with me!"
She immediately shouted, "Kill the one on the left first!"
She picked a guy who seemed easier to take advantage of, then soared into the sky, her longsword unleashing a dazzling display of light.
Yun Chu'an also sped to catch up. Behind him, Jiang Congqian's heart trembled, but in the end, he also gritted his teeth, dragged his trembling body, and sped into the sky!
He knew that at this moment, he absolutely could not back down, otherwise he might implicate the entire Yellow River Dragon Clan and become a laughingstock.
The three of them rushed toward the giant skull demon. Yan Shuiyi's sword energy and Yun Chuan's lightning took turns striking the vulnerable spots of the creature's skull, causing the behemoth to howl incessantly in an attempt to retaliate, but to no avail.
They launched a siege, which essentially meant they were completely letting the other, more powerful giant skull demon roam freely.
The latter completely misunderstood the principle of mutual dependence, and never even considered cooperating with its allies. It simply charged furiously into the crowd, opening its gaping maw and unleashing a terrifying soul shockwave—
The terrifying surge of spiritual energy swept across, and several Golden Core cultivators whose willpower and defensive spells were inadequate immediately went blank, completely losing their ability to resist.
Then, the giant-headed demon charged forward, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed a cultivator whole!
The rogue cultivator at the Golden Core stage didn't even have time to utter a wail before vanishing into the depths of the enormous demon's throat. At this point in the fierce battle, deaths among the cultivators had begun, and it was foreseeable that as the battle dragged on and the cultivators grew increasingly exhausted and weak, the casualties would only increase!
"Go to hell——"
Sima Lixin roared as he sped across the sky, riding the golden armor adorned with the Suanni pattern, and wielding his steel whip to strike the back of the enormous demon's head.
He was burning with rage; he wanted to prove that he was no less capable than anyone else. If Yun Chuan could do it, then he certainly could too!
"Roar—" You Lin Yongyong, Lin Zaikong, you Lin Zaizai, where are you...?
The golden armor transformed into a ferocious lion, seemingly letting out a terrifying howl, and pounced on the back of the giant demon's head, instantly creating a dent.
The enormous creature, in pain, turned its head and opened its mouth wide again. Its filthy tongue was still stained with the corpse of the Golden Core cultivator it had just devoured.
A terrifying noise surged from the depths of its throat once more, a sound infused with a horrifying mental shock. Sima Lixin remained utterly fearless; he felt his fighting spirit soaring, his excitement burning fiercely. He even believed he had spotted a weakness within the giant demon's mouth, and lashed out with his whip—
Then, a terrifying torrent of mental shock instantly engulfed his mind—
"Lixin—"
In the distance, Sima Zongzheng cried out in alarm. He saw his grandson seemingly half-mad, his body frozen in mid-air, before being swallowed whole by the enormous giant-headed demon!
"Do not--"
He roared angrily, his eyes wide with rage. Ignoring his original enemies, he rushed towards this place, burning his golden core and striking forward with all his might, shattering the giant demon's front teeth, and his body plunged straight into its mouth.
Inside his mouth, Sima Lixin had awakened, but felt unable to move. The foul spiritual energy swirled around his body, causing his skin to ache as if it were being corroded by sulfuric acid.
He tried to struggle and howl, but inside the closed, giant skull demon's mouth, he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe and unable to move!
The fear of death gripped his heart. He desperately wanted to roar, but his throat felt as if it were being squeezed, and he couldn't utter a sound.
Just when he thought he was about to fall into the abyss of death, his grandfather’s roar came from afar, followed by the sound of the huge skull’s teeth being broken and the pressure flowing rapidly.
Sima Lixin was finally able to move. He struggled to get off the enormous, monstrous tongue of the demon and cried out, "Help me—"
The next instant, Sima Zong rushed into the mouth. Under immense pressure, he grabbed his good-for-nothing grandson's hand, turned around abruptly, and flung his heavily injured body out of the demon's mouth.
Then, he himself wanted to leap out of the giant skull demon's mouth. However, this behemoth was, after all, at the Nascent Soul stage. How could it tolerate the food it had already eaten slipping away?
"Hooohoo!"
A series of long, low growls emanated from the depths of the enormous creature's throat, like a series of heavy hammer blows striking Sima Zongzheng's head.
The latter felt his body stiffen, and all the spiritual power in his body went out of control. He could no longer move and had no strength left to escape from the demon's mouth.
Then, the enormous giant-headed demon began to chew and crush his body completely!
"No—Grandfather—!"
Severely wounded, Sima Lixin roared, ignoring his injuries, and lashed out at the colossal beast with his whip. His strength remained formidable, each lash leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds on the massive demon's body.
However, this behemoth seemed to have learned from its previous lesson. No matter how it attacked, it did not let go, chewing and grinding desperately until it completely crushed Sima Zongzheng, which it had swallowed, into dust, leaving not a trace.
Upon learning that his grandfather had died at the hands of the Heavenly Demon while trying to save him, Sima Lixin's eyes streamed down his face with two lines of bloody tears.
He had no outlet for his overwhelming anger and hatred. His eyes were red as he looked into the distance, only to find that with the endless stream of enemies, the other cultivators were also struggling to protect themselves and had no way to provide him with support.
The number of extraterrestrial demons pouring into this realm is still increasing. Even though extraterrestrial demons with the strength of Golden Core are no match for cultivators of the same level, when their numbers become three, four, or even five times that of the latter, the threat posed by their numerical advantage is equally overwhelming!
With red eyes, Sima Lixin turned his gaze to the other side, where Yun Chuan and the others were besieging the relatively weaker giant demon. He then realized that the battle there was not going well either.
A less optimistic aspect arose concerning Jiang Congqian.
Unlike Yun Chu'an, who had the powerful and unparalleled "Bodhi Mirror Platform" to protect his mind, or Yan Shuiyi, who had been specially protected by Yun Chu'an with You Wensi and Rong Jieyu, two former evil cultivators who were proficient in mental arts, Huang Helongzi only had himself. Moreover, his condition had not been good, he was injured, and his spiritual power was already insufficient!
The rapid depletion of spiritual energy had the first side effect of slowed movement. The Yellow River Dragon Prince's flying speed had been greatly reduced, which meant that when the giant-headed demon turned and roared again, he was unable to dodge the torrent of mental impact in time!
Then a terrifying torrent swept through his mind, instantly breaking down the dam of his will. The Yellow River Dragon Prince's body froze in mid-air, and then the Heavenly Demon opened its blood-red maw, swallowing him whole as if he were eating a piece of candy.
Chapter 630 The Dragon Prince is Seriously Injured
This scene terrified even the shrimp soldiers and crab generals. That was their master, the Yellow River Dragon King's most beloved son. If he were to die here, everyone would be in deep trouble!
But should we send them to face that Nascent Soul level Heavenly Demon?
The group was filled with despair, but Yun Chu'an and Yan Shuiyi, who were besieging the guy, remained calm.
In their eyes, the demon was already badly injured. They originally intended to attack it a little longer, and kill it when it was truly covered in wounds.
But now that it has swallowed the Yellow River dragon's son, it has no choice but to kill it immediately!
Yun Chu'an looked at Yan Shuiyi, who, quite at the same time, also looked over and nodded slightly.
Immediately, the two stood together, grasped each other's hands, and then sped downhill together—
Then, just as they were about to collide with the giant skull demon, Yun Chu'an and Yan Shui separated to the left and right. Their guan dao, carrying thunder, and their longsword, containing boundless sword intent, respectively drew out golden and blue light that reached the heavens and the earth, crossing over the huge skull demon as if a giant X had been drawn.
With the accumulation of injuries, coupled with this final, perfectly coordinated and flawless attack, the enormous giant-headed demon could no longer maintain its existence. Amidst its wailing, its massive body disintegrated, and the chaotic and turbid spiritual energy dissipated, leaving no trace of its existence.
"Uh-"
The Yellow River Dragon Prince also fell from the enormous demon's mouth, letting out a painful howl. For a moment, he thought he was going to die, and now, having escaped death, he was incredibly grateful. "Are you free, Lin Yongmei? Are you free, Lin Zaizai?"
