Translator: 549690339
Over the years, Han Yi had witnessed quite a few battles involving legendary Qi cultivators.
However, when it was his turn to face one, he realized that without a top-grade magical weapon, he was basically vulnerable in front of a legendary Qi cultivator.
Legendary Qi cultivators were not like the eighth-level Qi cultivator Han Yi had met in Tianqing City. These cultivators stood at the pinnacle of Qi cultivation and used top-grade magical weapons.
Although Han Yi’s Shadow Bearing Sword was a high-grade magical weapon, it was still a far cry from being a top-grade one. The difference between the two was like day and night in terms of power.
These thoughts flashed through Han Yi’s mind in an instant.
Once he realized this,
A fierce light flashed in Han Yi’s eyes.
He recalled the Shadow Bearing Sword and placed it behind his back. Then, he put away the six daggers and took out another middle-grade sword, the Rosy Clouds Sword, from his storage bag.
This was the second middle-grade sword that he brought into the Cave Heaven world. The previous Seven Stars Sword had exploded when facing Xie Jingshan, buying him just enough time to swallow a fragment of the Taixu Order.
Next, his divine consciousness surged and attached itself to the Rosy Clouds Sword.
“Kill!!”
The Rosy Clouds Sword, dragging a fearsome pale red light, broke the sound barrier as soon as it was activated, emitting a terrifying sonic boom and charging straight at the two terrifying eyeballs of the Rock Demon.
The Rock Demon roared in anger, trying to block it with its giant axe. However, the Rosy Clouds Sword suddenly accelerated, evading the axe and closing in on the Rock Demon’s eyes, less than three meters away.
In the Rock Demon’s eyes, a gray-white light burst out. This was its innate supernatural power, Petrification.
However,
More than ten meters away, Han Yi’s intention was neither to inflict serious damage on the Rock Demon nor to kill it.
Knowing himself, he did not have the Golden Light Shuttle, and he was not capable of killing the Rock Demon, who was on par with legendary Qi cultivators, using only the high-grade Shadow Bearing Sword and a set of middle-grade Wind Demon Daggers.
In that case,
He would at least hinder the Rock Demon.
Seeing the Rosy Clouds Sword nearly three meters away from the Rock Demon’s head, a fierce expression flashed across Han Yi’s face.
“Explode!!”
At that moment, he detonated the sword without any hesitation.
At the same time,
Han Yi took out two Spiritual Talismans from his storage bag, one Annihilation Talisman, which he threw out without hesitation, and the other, an Escaping Talisman, which he attached to himself.
In the next instant, after the sword exploded and the Annihilation Talisman was activated, Han Yi silently escaped to a hundred meters away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
In the next moment, the sword completed its explosion, and the shattered fragments turned into a rain of swords, sweeping towards the Rock Demon’s face under the terrifying storm of Spirit Energy.
However, a gray light flickered across, and the rain of sword fragments only moved one meter before being frozen in mid-air.
At the same time, the Annihilation Talisman was activated, and an invisible ripple penetrated the Rock Demon’s head, causing it to roar to the sky. Gray light poured out from its eyes, turning everything in its path into white ash and stone.
About three hundred meters away, Han Yi’s face turned cold. The rapidly rising horrifying aura and roar from behind him made his heart palpitate.
“Legendary, this is legendary.”
For the first time, Han Yi had a more accurate understanding of legends.
No wonder they could stand above the peak of Qi cultivation, creating a non-existent title.
At the time, he thought he could fight a legend, but now he realized that he had been overly confident.
The mysterious yellow-turbaned immortal he faced in the trial was merely a Heavenly Creation. Compared to cultivators, the immortal had an abundance of power but lacked versatility. Moreover, the immortal only passively defended during the trial and did not attack. If it had attacked, Han Yi estimated that he would not have lasted three breaths.
Next, Han Yi became even more cautious. In order not to be hindered, he quickly evaded the four-meter-tall Demon Clan members, and when encountering five-meter-tall ones, he made use of extra artifacts and spiritual talismans, to buy himself time to escape.
Boom!
Deep within Emperor Demon City, a towering palace collapsed with a bang, brought down by a nine-meter-tall Emperor Demon.
Within three hundred meters of the Emperor Demon’s corpse, more than thirty figures exuded a fierce killing intent and overwhelming spirit energy, colliding without yielding.
These were more than thirty legendary Qi Cultivation Peak cultivators.
Out of the over fifty legends participating in the battle for Yujing Taixu Order, about twenty of them perished, leaving only thirty-odd standing on the ruined palace grounds.
“Strange, why is the Taixu Light Pillar still there?” asked Xie Jingshan of the Spirit Combat Sect, floating mid-air with only four battle flags remaining in front of him.
He had self-destructed five battle flags for this battle, equivalent to five top-quality artifacts, showing the high stakes he had placed on this.
“As far as I know, he should be the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan.”
“According to the rules of the Cave Heaven world, killing the strongest member of a different race where the Taixu Order is located should cause the Taixu Light Pillar to dissipate and reveal the Taixu Order. Did we kill the wrong person?”
Another female legendary cultivator with crimson eyes scanned the area. She raised a hand and lightly pointed at the Demon Emperor’s corpse, which had collapsed the palace, and was dozens of meters away. Without any visible artifacts, the body suddenly split into pieces, turning into chunks of debris. The Emperor’s blood had no foul stench but instead exuded a mysterious fragrance.
It could be used to refine high-grade Pills, cultivate spirit plants, or strengthen a cultivator’s physical body.
However, compared to the Yujing Taixu Order, this corpse was of little value.
“It’s really dead.”
The legendary female cultivator looked puzzled.
When Han Yi arrived, he saw the nine-meter-tall corpse that resembled an ancient giant being cut into pieces by a mysterious force.
In the middle of the vast square, the palace had been reduced to ruins, with an area as large as hundreds of soccer fields. The corpse lay in the center of the ruins, while Han Yi was at the edge of the square.
Even at the edge of the square, Han Yi could still smell the fragrance emanating from the broken chunks of the corpse in the ruins.
“What a pity, it’s a great ingredient for refining Pills and cultivating spirit plants.”
Han Yi took his gaze away from the Demon Emperor’s corpse and looked around.
Near the corpse, more than thirty legendary Qi Cultivation cultivators stood at varying distances from one another.
At the edge of the square, over five hundred cultivators stood without hiding their figures, their auras concealed.
Everyone remained silent, waiting for changes to occur.
Just at that moment.
A blood-colored light emerged from the dismembered Demon Emperor’s corpse and dispersed rapidly in all directions before anyone could react.
Hum!
At the same moment, a blood-colored light rose from the ground at the edge of the square. It stretched towards the sky like a giant blood cloth and then closed in from all sides.
This sky-covering, sun-blocking blood-colored light curtain was like a blood-colored lid, covering the whole square and even enveloping the beam of light caused by the Yujing Taixu Order.
As the beam of light was enveloped and cut off from the outside, it instantly dissipated, turning into nine tokens that slowly fell to the ground.
At the same time.
A rumbling sound came from beneath the rubble of the Demon Emperor’s corpse.
Thump, thump, thump!
The sound was first rapid, then slowed down. Everyone within the square understood what this sound was.
It was a heartbeat.
This was the heartbeat of a member of the Demon Clan..
