The Dawn Of The New World

Chapter 1234 His Blessing

The demon was foaming at the mouth upon seeing a third of its vessels get obliterated in an instant. And since they were destroyed from the inside out by the chaos energy, there was no way to even recover the specks of the demonic energy that it had lent out to make them in the first place.

*KREEEEEEE*

It shrieked from the pain as the connection was forcibly cut off one after another with the smaller creatures but when it saw Hao Xuan getting ready to strike again, its rage was deep enough to temporarily block the mind-numbing effects of the technique and allow it to move between the smaller creatures even though they couldn't be controlled from afar.

Its true form began to fade before reappearing in the creature that was closest to Hao Xuan. And it just happened to be right in front of him.

Its arm transformed and struck at his neck with a deadly claw strike but because of the Angelic Feather, he was able to see the change within the creature's body and react in time.

He quickly dodged to the side and threw a palm strike towards its chest but the demon's true form had already moved on.

"WHER-"

Hao Xuan looked around but before he could find it a claw struck his back peeling away several inches of skin and flesh in three straight lines.

"AHH!" he recoiled from the pain but not before throwing a palm strike in its direction.

Turning around he saw another creature's body slowly collapse and turn to ash but the demon's true form had managed to escape with little to no harm. The palm strike had actually managed to connect with the demon's true form but it was not strong enough.

'Fuck! If I had enough energy it would have died just now! I need to put some distance between us.'

"Blink!"

Hao Xuan's body reappeared in mid-air 3 meters away but he quickly used the ability again to move to a rooftop on the other side of the street.

'What the fuck was that?!' he cursed inwardly, 'I meant to move at least 30 meters away but there was some kind of an obstruction blocking me. More than 90% of the energy was used to overcome it while with the remaining ten percent I could only move a fraction of the distance.'

The creatures all turned in his direction and when the demon was sure he wasn't going to attack again so soon, it began spreading the smaller creatures all around so they couldn't be taken out at once.

Hao Xuan's brow began to furrow when he noticed that the black clouds had spread outside of the bodies of the smaller creatures and covered a much large area.

"It looks like a domain but...I can't feel the presence of any law."

And yet the black clouds were giving a very familiar feeling as if he had sensed it not too long ago. Hao Xuan only had to think about it for a second before it came to him.

'Hell! It feels like the energies from hell but....they are much weaker. Is it trying to make a portal?' he thought but quickly dismissed it, 'No, that's not possible. Not even a greater demon can do that let alone a foot soldier like this. It has to be something like a Law but for these weaker demons. It sapped away most of my energy when I tried to 'Blink' so I can't just rush back in.'

He decided to ask the demon itself....maybe it was stupid enough to fall for it.

"That was a close one, huh? You almost got me," he began with a compliment, "Is that your domain that you just made?"

The demon revealed itself for a moment by taking over a creature that was right in the middle of the black circle.

"You damn insect! If I had my full power you wouldn't even stand a chance!" it yelled with a twisted expression.

Hao Xuan placidly nodded in agreement, "You are right. I would have already run away if that was the case, I'm not suicidal enough to fight a soldier demon head-on. I have heard enough horror stories about you guys."

All the praise and ass-kissing proved to be useful making the demon let out a laugh.

"Haha, at least you know when you are outmatched. That other one was arrogant for no reason."

Hao Xuan let out a deep breath as if he was reconsidering all his life choices while pointing at the circle again.

"What happens when I come in there?"

The demon shrugged, "What happens when you go to hell?"

"Aha, so it's like your own little piece of hell. That's amazing, I didn't know demons could do that."

The demon scoffed haughtily, "That's because not all of them can! Only those of us who are loyal to the 'Lord' can, by his blessing only!"
