Chapter 679: Falling Into Demonic Path (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Quite the enthusiasm you have there, willing to sacrifice anything just to stay alive.
Such ‘courage1,1 must admit I don’t possess.”
Shang Heyun, Hu Wentian, Luo Tianba, and others’ expressions changed instantly.
Truth be told, they really hadn’t expected to encounter Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, these formidable figures, at the Rising Sun Hall.
This realization made their once confident hearts suddenly uncertain.
Their faces reflected their unsettled emotions.
Clearly.
Facing these two, whether it was Shang Heyun, Hu Wentian, or Luo Tianba, none had any assurance they could escape successfully.
Yes.
At this moment.
Their thoughts were no longer on other matters, but on how they could possibly escape from the hands of this couple.
As if reading their minds, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged a glance.
Without another word, Jiang Chengxuan’s figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
A golden streak flashed across the sky.
There was a tearing sound.
Luo Tianba, who was still standing there vigilantly, suddenly shuddered.
The next moment, a golden thin line appeared on his body, starting from his forehead and extending downward.
Finally, with a swoosh, his entire body was bisected into two halves.
Even his primordial spirit was annihilated in mid-air.
“General Luo!”
Seeing Luo Tianba fall like that, Hu Wentian, Shang Heyun, and the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Three Suns Sect and Chu family were all shocked.
They dared not delay any longer.
Without a word, their figures turned into afterimages, attempting to tear through the void and escape.
Crack—
However, at that moment, a flash of lightning suddenly passed by the eyes of a Soul Formation cultivator from the Chu family.
Before he could react, a fierce and powerful thunderbolt turned him into a charred corpse from inside out.
Residual arcs of electricity still sporadically flickered out of the seven orifices of his charred body.
Whoosh—
At the same time.
Two other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Three Suns Sect and the Radiance Sword Sect were suddenly engulfed and buried by countless stones, eventually becoming a tombstone that crashed to the ground, causing a massive surge of spiritual Qi.
It was the earth-elemental divine power that Jiang Chengxuan had comprehended, “Sky Burial”.
And this further terrified the remaining Hu Wentian and Shang Heyun.
The strength of those two had long exceeded the scope of ordinary Soul Formation cultivators.
Not to mention fighting Jiang CHengxuan, the two of them did not even have the qualifications to fight.
A hint of pain flashed across Hu Wentian’s eyes.
But in the next moment, he gritted his teeth, took out a black jade talisman from his body, and threw it behind him.
Buzz!
As soon as Hu Wentian threw the black jade talisman, a twisted black ripple rippled through the void.
An aura of evil permeated the air.
In just an instant, a demonic monster with two legs, red eyes, and holding a steel fork appeared before Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
From its aura, this demonic monster’s strength had actually reached the sixth level of Soul Formation.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes narrowed.
It seemed that Venerable Hun Tian had some tricks up his sleeve.
He even possessed such aberrant creatures that were neither human nor ghost.
But to think that these creatures can stop us, that’s too naive.
Splash!
The Golden Void Sword in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand suddenly emitted a golden light.
Buzz!
It flashed slightly in the air.
When it reappeared, it had already bypassed the demonic monster, positioning itself right in front of Hu Wentian’s chest
“How… how could this be?”
Hu Wentian’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Jiang Chengxuan, however, did not waste any words.
With a light grasp in the air,
BOOM!
Endless sword light surged on the Golden Void Sword.
There was a series of sizzling sounds.
All of Hu Wentian’s defensive treasures were shattered by the Golden Void Sword at that moment.
Subsequently, he disintegrated into nothingness amid his extreme unwillingness.
At the same time.
The domineering and sharp Five Lightning Immortal Slayer fiercely swept across the massive body of the demonic monster.
Crackle—
Boundless lightning flashed.
There were also countless golden lightning bolts mixed in.
It was the Divine Devilbane Lightning that was most effective against evil creatures.
ROAR!
The demonic monster roared towards the sky.
But in the next second, its huge body was shattered inch by inch under the relentless thunder, ultimately turning into ashes.
The phrase “cool for only three seconds” perfectly describes the fate of this demonic creature.
Whoosh—
At that moment, Shang Heyun had already traversed a great distance.
Fear filled his heart.
Especially when he saw Hu Wentian and his demonic monster fall under the attacks of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, his fear intensified.
Faster, he must move faster!
He roared internally, burning his Dharmic power to the extreme.
Even his primordial spirit was fully ignited in this moment, all in the hope of escaping from Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
However, to his chilling dismay, as he crossed tens of thousands of miles in the high skies, ripples suddenly spread through the void around him.
His figure was almost immobilized on the spot.
No matter how much he tried to exert his Dharmic power, burn his primordial spirit, or tear through the void, it was all in vain.
Why? Why is this happening?
He roared in his heart.
I just want to live; why must I die?
BOOM!
Suddenly, Shang Heyun’s eyes turned a bloody red, and his aura intensified threefold from before.
“What?”
A voice of surprise echoed in the air.
The next moment, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan appeared in front of Shang Heyun.
“Is this a sign of falling into demonic madness?” Jiang Chengxuan frowned.
Shen Ruyan nodded. “It seems so.”
After a pause, she added, “Husband, have you noticed that in the Nine Essences Cultivation World, the rate of cultivators falling into demonic madness during their practice is getting higher.
Even a slight flaw in their mental state makes them vulnerable to external evils.”
“That is very true.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded in agreement.
“This is probably the doing of those from the Eastern End and the Central Plain.
Oh, and those demons.
They probably don’t realize that as they turn numerous cultivators and beasts into demonic monsters, some subtle changes are occurring in this world. These changes are happening quietly and steadily.
If this situation continues, in the future, this world may no longer be suitable for normal cultivators and demons to practice cultivation.
Their actions are essentially digging their own graves.
Do they really think the other party will be so kind as to help them for nothing?
Little do they know, the price was already set the day they agreed to align with them.”
At this moment, neither Jiang Chengxuan nor Shen Ruyan were in a rush to kill Shang Heyun.
They wanted to see how far this mad state would develop.
ROAR!
Slowly.
As time passed, Shang Heyun’s condition worsened.
The blood color in his eyes began to turn pitch black, and unknowingly, his aura began to take on a demonic quality.
Even the nature of his intrinsic Pure Yang treasure underwent a strange transformation, gradually turning towards something resembling a demonic treasure.
As more time passed, Shang Heyun’s appearance was unrecognizable.
His body was covered with black scales, and two curved black horns emerged on his head.
Cold and deep black demonic flames swirled around his body.
He had completely transformed into a demonic being, losing all traces of his human identity.
