Chapter 993: Chapter 993
The Demon Lord arose from the ground, and the cracked Green Profound Sword and Eight Directions Seal met him, exploding with a roar.
The impact of the explosion from the Emperor Weapon instantly tore layers of flesh off the Demon Lord, revealing a ghastly four-colored skeleton.
The Power of Four Calamities flickered, marking the first heavy blow to the Demon Lord.
Ignoring the damage, he swallowed all nine fragments of treasure weapons into his belly, merging them into a block of iron with the extreme power of fire calamity.
"With the Nine Soldier Formation broken, there is nothing in this world that can restrain me anymore!" The Demon Lord laughed wildly towards the sky.
The Dragon King’s eyes narrowed; consuming an Emperor Weapon, this Demon Lord is increasingly terrifying. It seems he’s now at his peak.
Boom, boom! Ax beams chopped down, forcing the Dragon King to dodge. He only had an Undying Body, not an Immortal Body.
The Demon Lord’s attacks couldn’t be resisted many times even with an Undying Body.
Whoosh! The Demon Lord transformed into a Demon Bull, increasing his speed, charging toward the Dragon King, shattering everything along the way.
Each world in his path moaned, turning to dust, countless beings perished.
The Dragon King had avoided the worlds as best he could, but the aftermath of the Demon Lord’s attacks was equally terrifying.
"Die!" The bull horns, like curved sabers, stabbed toward the Dragon King.
The immense pressure locked onto him, leaving the Dragon King unable to dodge; he could only turn around, channel his strength into both fists, and push out forcefully.
Crunch, the bull horns pierced through his palm, penetrated his chest, and with a fierce twist, tore him apart, as the Power of Four Calamities burned fiercely.
A charred skeleton escaped the flames, breaking through the void.
"You are indeed persistent... Your Undying Body must be reaching its limit, right?"
The Demon Lord found such powerful cultivators of physical bodies annoying to kill, rather tedious to deal with, but fortunately, Tianxia had not produced any Immortals.
He would exert a little effort, but he could still kill the Dragon King and Lu Chenzhou.
Chasing the Dragon King all the way, they unknowingly arrived at the Xia Realm; the Dragon King tore open the boundary barrier, entering the starry sky.
The Demon Lord furrowed his brow, contemplating whether to enter.
"It’s said that within the Xia Realm, Lu Chenzhou’s power can greatly increase; they are surely setting a trap inside. But judging by Lu Chenzhou’s hasty departure, leaving the Dragon King to face me alone, he is undoubtedly in seclusion, attempting to Breakthrough Nine to deal with me, which means he cannot act now. Only the Dragon King and Kunxu, even with the Xia Realm’s enhancement, are no match for me. I will press forward to Xia Star and destroy everything."
Xia Star is the core of Tianxia Civilization.
If Xia Star falls, all Lu Chenzhou’s efforts will be for naught; left alone, what’s the point of being Undying and Immortal?
Thinking this, the confident and bold Demon Lord stepped into the Xia Realm.
"Senior brother, the Demon Lord has come!"
Beside Master Turtle, the young Lu Chenzhou opened his eyes.
Not long ago, the senior brother had successfully Broke through Nine, exuding the aura of Great Power.
Building up his strength ingeniously, he even needed no realm stabilization, his aura unwavering.
Master Turtle donned his armor, smiled, and said: "Let’s go, let’s meet him. I didn’t expect, my first battle as a Great Power is against a top-level Demigod."
At Mystic Sky Alliance, Eternal Immortal sent the command: "Attention everyone, the Demon Lord has descended upon the Xia Realm!"
In an instant, the entire Xia Realm operated like a massive machine, rapidly springing into action.
Myriad Feather Mountain, Dragons Palace, the Clan’s Sacred Artifacts orbited Xia Star like satellites, providing three-dimensional defense.
The Demon Lord descended into the starry sky, observing the Dragon King, who was no longer running.
"Your objective is achieved, where is your ambush? Come out, today I will deal with all of you together."
His immense strength filled him with confidence.
The Dragon King laughed wearily: "I love your reckless, suicidal bravado."
With a wave of his hand, figures emerged from the void, oozing with evil qi.
Leading them was the young Lu Chenzhou, clad in white robes, radiating a nearly demigod-like aura.
Beside him, there was a golden-robed girl, curious and scrutinizing the Demon Lord, showing disgust and saying: "I dislike his aura."
Lv Ancestor, Zhang Ancestor, and Clam Girl were also present.
Sword Demon and Priest were seriously injured, still not healed, replaced by two Heavenly Spirits.
From the deep space, the light of God Slaying Sword Formation rose from the heavens.
The Demon Lord laughed: "Is this all your trump cards? Where is Lu Chenzhou’s true self? Is he in seclusion, trying to Breakthrough Nine to defeat me?"
"That’s right, the day my true self Breaks through Nine will be your funeral," said the young Lu Chenzhou.
The Demon Lord’s lips curled upwards: "I admit, with his means, if he Breaks through Nine, defeating me would be hard, but killing me would be a dream. Moreover, he won’t have the chance to Breakthrough Nine— the Dragon King is exhausted, I will sweep away all of you rabble!"
He revealed a colossal demon body larger than a star, wielding an axe imbued with the Power of Four Calamities toward the sword formation.
No fancy techniques, just sheer force to break all laws.
The God Slaying Sword Formation trembled, everyone’s face changed slightly.
A fierce formation that forced the red-clothed to self-destruct was shaken by the Demon Lord alone.
"Demon Lord, meet your end!" Master Turtle swung a long staff down like a Creation Pillar of the Universe, smashing toward the Demon Lord.
Axe light lifted up, sending the long staff flying, Master Turtle’s form retreated in the void, shattering one small unmanned asteroid after another.
"Too weak; you all fail to even pique my interest." The Demon Lord swung out full moon axe lights, continuously striking the array.
The Dragon King asked through transmission: "How long can you hold out?"
The young Lu Chenzhou said: "At most, half a year..."
Tianxia has already exerted all its strength.
Those who could stand against the Demon Lord were here.
Others coming would just be sending themselves to die.
The Dragon King said, "The Demon Lord is even stronger than we anticipated. He seems to be nearing the True God level... Request protection from the Water Mansion, endure as long as we can, and if it fails, we must activate the final wandering plan, using the Water Mansion as the last stronghold to find a chance to regain strength."
But they knew, without the Three Thousand Worlds as a foundation, it would be difficult for civilization to flourish and grow.
The Innate Water Spirit activated the Map of Ten Thousand Rivers.
Shadows of water mansions appeared in rivers worldwide.
The civilization fire seeds of the Three Thousand Worlds were included within.
"Close the mansion!" The Water Spirit looked at those still fighting in the starry sky, shaking his head helplessly.
Honestly, Lu Chenzhou’s progress had far exceeded his expectations.
Even faster than Lan Daogang who was conducting the God Sealing Ceremony, which gave him great hope.
But fate did not go as planned; the Heavenly Disaster Demon Lord emerged early, disrupting all plans.
"Lu Chenzhou, if you can defeat the Heavenly Disaster Demon Lord, then even if the gods descend, you will have the power to fight."
Blue Mountain Buddha Country.
"No way, we must intervene; the full civilization of Tianxia is no match for the Demon Lord." Ancient Emperor Lanshan spoke with a heavy tone.
Red Leaf inquired, "We only have spiritual power left; our bodies are gone. We can only dwell in the Buddha Country, and once we descend upon reality, we would inevitably die."
Ancient Emperor Lanshan said, "Then lure the Demon Lord to the Buddha Country."
Red Leaf’s eyes widened, then exclaimed, "You’re crazy! The Buddha Country is our last haven. Although your power has greatly increased over the years, you are still a step behind the Demon Lord. Judging from his swallowing of Long Ge, it seems he has already touched the Realm of True God Fusion, almost a half-step Daoist Master."
Lanshan replied, "Tianxia is the final hope. Lu Chenzhou is at a critical moment in seclusion. If he dies, it would be slow death for us in the Buddha Country... Red Leaf, now the evil thoughts in the Three Thousand Worlds breed, the power of the Three Demons is stronger than in ancient times. If we cannot reincarnate, we would fall prey to the Three Demons, with no future life. Besides Lu Chenzhou, I find no other Heart Cultivation Great Power."
Red Leaf showed hesitation, then sighed moments later, "Indeed... we have no retreat."
For the past hundred years, dozens of True Buddhas had been swallowed by the Three Demons; now only 240 True Buddhas remain in the Buddha Country.
"What should we do?" Red Leaf asked.
"Heart Realm," Ancient Emperor Lanshan said.
On the land of Tianxia, the Great Snake Ancient Hall, located in the former Nordic Land, suddenly erupted with the ultimate white light.
All trialists in the Heart Realm were forcibly ejected.
The ancient hall ascended, disappearing under the gaze of countless people.
"What happened? The Heart Realm flew away."
"It surely relates to the Heavenly Disaster Demon Lord; even the ruins have been activated; civilization must be at a critical moment of life and death."
Deep Space Battlefield.
The God Slaying Sword Formation displayed great power, trapping the Demon Lord.
But the Demon Lord’s resistance made the sword formation tremble violently, and it was only a matter of time before it broke.
Under absolute realm suppression, all techniques seemed powerless.
The Dragon King, Kunxu, and Mr. Turtle—three Great Powers—used the sword formation as an aid, continuously engaging the Demon Lord in wheel combat.
The Demon Lord could calmly respond to any powerful divine skill.
Time passed, but Tianxia’s great powers suffered accumulating injuries.
"The Demon Lord is too strong; is this the difference between the Four Emperor level and other great powers?" Kunxu’s expression was despairing.
"Hold on, wait for Little Apprentice-Brother to break through Nine; this is our only hope." Mr. Turtle revealed his Overlord true form, withstanding countless damages.
Overlord’s defense was extremely strong, but under the Demon Lord’s giant axe, it was covered with cracks and gaps, the power of the Four Calamities rampaged, preventing the wounds from healing.
With the upper hand, the Demon Lord grew more ferocious, the wild axe light crushed nearby stars into powder.
This was truly star-picking and moon-taking, destroying the Dao.
The ancient True God war was nothing .
Suddenly, an ethereal and lofty voice emerged in the Dragon King’s mind:
"I am Lanshan, communicating with you from the Buddha Country. I wish to use the sacrifice of the Heart Realm as a price to pull the Demon Lord into the Spiritual Buddha Country, where I, Ancient Emperor Red Leaf, and 240 True Buddhas will confront him with the Ten Thousand Buddha Array. Please cooperate with us to trap the Demon Lord within."
The Dragon King’s heart was filled with joy. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.net
He was aware of the Buddha Country’s existence, but also knew these Ancient Buddhas could not interfere with the physical world, wishing to reincarnate through Lu Chenzhou.
"Thank you all, Tianxia will not forget your kindness."
The Demon Lord was strong; luring him to the Buddha Country was akin to inviting a wolf into the house.
However, Lanshan, since he chose this path, must have resolved not to have another life.
Thus, the Tianxia civilization fought while retreating, using the God Slaying Sword Formation to tightly control the Demon Lord.
No one knew how much time passed; with the Demon Lord’s heaven-shaking axe, the sword formation could no longer endure, and four figures were blasted away, life and death uncertain.
"Hahaha! Who can stop me?!" The Demon Lord laughed aloud, the demonic qi surging to the heavens.
Boom! An ancient hall shattered the void and suddenly appeared, an endless suction emanated, pulling the unprepared Demon Lord inside.
Upon opening his eyes, the Demon Lord’s gaze contracted, coldly watching the figures in blue and red robes atop high towers, along with the countless True Buddhas.
He laughed, "Lanshan, long time no see. I didn’t expect you to linger on... You ants really are lining up to die."
