Chapter 267: Barbara shows her might, luring the Ancient God and leaving the demon tribe dumbfounded

Damn it, this guy is an Ancient God?

The strange demon-like man finally knew what that star was.

He is a clone of the Yao Emperor; the Yao Emperor's true body should be on the battlefield of the two tribes.

The clone secretly sneaked over, wanting to obtain the Gu Yao on its own.

Hurry!

He didn't have time to take a detour; the demon vine, carrying Lu Xun, swiftly rushed toward Yao Xing.

Now!

Lu Xun finally got the opportunity.

Because they wanted to go faster, the demon vine revealed a flaw.

Barbara!

Lu Xun directly used the dispelling technique.

The next second, a cat-eared girl wearing a white princess dress ran out of Lu Xun's inner vision space and chanted an incantation at the demon vine.

As soon as the incantation was spoken, the demon vine and the strange demon-like man were both immobilized.

This strange demon-like man is essentially an incarnation of the demon vine.

Go!

Then Barbara, with Lu Xun, fled from the demon vine.

Just as Lu Xun thought Barbara had rendered the demon vine helpless, she suddenly took out a magic wand and muttered incantations there.

The demon vine struggled violently, trying to break free.

After only a dozen seconds, the demon vine was about to break free of the spell.

At that very moment, Barbara pointed her magic wand at the demon vine.

Then they saw that the blood-colored demon vine instantly withered inch by inch, as if it had lost its nutrients.

Ah... what is this... you're a cat star person!

The strange demon-like man exclaimed in surprise.

The demon vine wanted to struggle, but the moment it did, it snapped itself.

It seemed to have turned into dead twigs and leaves, instantly reaching the end of its life.

What are you staring at? Hurry up and burn it—my magic won't last long!

Barbara shouted.

Burn!

Then burn it!

Boom!

Southern Ming Separation Fire and Phoenix True Flame attacked simultaneously.

Southern Ming Separation Fire inherently restrains the demon tribe.

As a plant-type demon, the demon vine is especially severely restrained by Southern Ming Separation Fire.

However, when it was at its peak, Southern Ming Separation Fire could not even get close.

Now, after the demon vine withered, Southern Ming Separation Fire instantly ignited it, setting it ablaze violently.

Ah...

The strange demon-like man screamed miserably.

He no longer had his earlier composure.

He wanted to control the demon vine to attack, but he simply couldn't.

It's recovering.

At this moment, Lu Xun discovered that the demon vine's vitality was recovering.

Just now, Barbara's magic was not an attack; it was more like temporarily siphoning off the demon vine's vitality.

This move pairs perfectly with Southern Ming Separation Fire.

Even though it was recovering, the demon vine could not escape Southern Ming Separation Fire.

The recovery speed was far slower than the burning speed.

However much it recovered, that much was burned.

Finally, after a dozen minutes, the demon vine was completely burned to ash.

Thus, the Yao Emperor's clone was successfully killed in counter by Barbara's magic and Southern Ming Separation Fire working together.

Barbara is indeed formidable.

At least, she has means to deal with the Eight Realms.

Seeing the demon vine slain, Lu Xun hastily took out the Star Sea Flying Boat and jumped aboard with Barbara.

How is your immobilization spell so powerful?

Lu Xun was astonished.

His spell couldn't even immobilize a Six Realms cultivator who had used imperial blood.

Barbara glared, her pink gem-like eyes wide and her little face flushed red: 'You think this is cabbage?! This I achieved by consuming precious bloodline power.'

Speaking, she stretched out her fair finger and jabbed hard at Lu Xun's chest.

'Before I return to Astera Star, my bloodline power diminishes with each use and cannot be replenished; now I can use it at most once or twice!'

Barbara looked quite pained.

Alright.

How can you cause so much trouble? You wouldn't lift my spell, and now we're doomed!

Immediately, Barbara got a headache.

Is it really that exaggerated? It's just a witch; I'll take you to the Grand Void Secret Realm and see if she dares to come.

Lu Xun felt Barbara was being overly cautious.

Although his current strength isn't much, his connections have already risen.

If Lu Xun hides in the Grand Void Secret Realm, he doesn't believe the witch would dare to confront the Eastern powerhouses head-on.

You don't understand; you've only undone the first two layers of the curse. The third layer cannot be undone at all. Before you find the Star Gate, under no circumstances should you undo it again, or you'll surely be done for, and I might die too... No... you're done for now... Hurry, hurry, go, leave me... Meow~

Barbara's face drastically changed mid-sentence.

She instinctively wanted to use the banishment curse to exile Lu Xun far away, but before she could cast it, her whole body turned into a cat again.

At that very moment, an intangible curse enveloped Lu Xun.

The next second, Lu Xun felt an utterly irresistible strange power descend instantly, seeking to make him fall asleep.

And also turn him into a cat!

I'm going!!!

Now Lu Xun understands why Barbara didn't let him easily undo the curse.

It's not just because the witch is too terrifying.

But also because this curse actually spreads to him, the one undoing it.

No wonder Barbara told Lu Xun that before finding and entering the Star Gate, he must absolutely not undo it for her.

The spread of the curse should be due to the witch casting it.

Such a curse ignores distance and cannot be avoided even at the ancient road nodes.

Unless one is far enough away—for example, by passing through the Star Gate to reach the next ancient road node, separated by an unknown number of hundreds of thousands of light-years—can the witch fail to notice.

Chaos cells, suck it for me!

Southern Ming Separation Fire, Phoenix True Flame, burn it for me!

Lu Xun grew angry.

You want to turn me into a cat?

Dream on!

Southern Ming Separation Fire and Phoenix True Flame surrounded him, burning wildly.

Both flames are very powerful, but against the curse they have little effect.

Fortunately, the chaos cells within Lu Xun's body are miraculous, actually absorbing all of that strange power acting upon him.

How impressive!

Lu Xun again marveled at the might of the chaos divine body.

Especially the chaos cells, they can absorb just about anything.

Of course, the premise is that Lu Xun's body can withstand it.

If it's an attack from an Eight or Nine Realms expert that could kill Lu Xun in one strike, then no matter how much the chaos cells absorb, it's useless.

Again, for some powerful flames that would directly burn Lu Xun to ash, the chaos cells cannot absorb them.

But for a harmless curse power like this, it can be absorbed.

So, does having a chaos divine body make me naturally immune to Barbara's curse?

Lu Xun thought.

If that's the case, that would be great.

At least I wouldn't have to worry about being attacked by similar means, directly eliminating a weak point.

Alright.

After a few minutes, finally, there was nothing left to absorb.

At that moment, the Ancient God was already very close.

Lan Xing can't escape!

Lu Xun looked down and saw that although Lan Xing was accelerating, it was already too late.

As for Yao Xing, it might be able to retreat and flee.

Now it's over.

The Ancient God, however, is something countless times more terrifying than Yao Xing.

It's coming for you, run fast!

At that moment, the silver-haired woman suddenly appeared, uttered a sentence, and then fell back into a daze.

Coming for me?

Lu Xun startled.

Immediately, he realized it might indeed be true.

After all, judging by this posture, the Ancient God probably hasn't fully broken free yet; otherwise, why would it be so bright?

The Ancient God wants to seize him and bring him back to continue helping it break free.

Damn it! Let's fight!

Lu Xun glanced at the azure planet, then at Yao Xing, made up his mind, and instantly formed a bold decision.

He collected the silver-haired woman and Barbara into his inner space, changed the hand seal, and the star-sea flying vessel shot swiftly toward Yao Xing.

Yes, Lu Xun intends to lure the Ancient God toward Yao Xing.

Draw the trouble over.

If escape is doomed, then we cannot let the demon clan have an easy time.

Hurry and flee!

On Lan Xing's surface, a large number of demon ships are also retreating.

The demon clans attacking Lan Xing are all in a frantic retreat.

Not only are the demon clans retreating, but even the Insect Clan were frightened into repeatedly closing their wormholes, fearing the Ancient God would come marching through.

This is the might of the Ancient God.

This is also the Ancient God's prestige.

A life-and-death battle between two spirit stars came to an abrupt halt due to its appearance.

Everyone was only thinking of fleeing for their lives; no one had the will to keep fighting.

Seeing the demon clan's main force retreating, Lu Xun's mind stirred, and demon power surged out wildly.

The treasure clothing on his body likewise changed in form, becoming similar to the attire of some demons who have taken human form.

Now he looks like a demon.

Not only in appearance, but also in perception, he is a genuine demon.

As soon as the demon power emerged, Lu Xun was practically demonic aura shooting to the heavens.

Then, the Star Sea Flying Boat's speed increased further, rushing toward Yao Xing.

At the speed of the demon clan's main force, many demon clan members probably cannot retreat to Yao Xing in time.

The Ancient God came too fast.

Therefore, many demon clan members with trump cards are using those trump cards to accelerate.

"Human flying vessel!"

"It's the Great Demon King!"

Several demon kings saw the Star Sea Flying Boat and had no suspicions.

Because Lu Xun's demon power is too orthodox.

"Great Demon King?"

Lu Xun's heart stirred.

In that case, the demon power inside his demon core has actually reached the level of seventh-realm demon power?

One return by Ran Bing is that powerful?

Indeed, that return itself was a breakthrough at the demon king level, increasing fiftyfold, and then only returning to demon power, so naturally it's formidable.

However, since he is not a demon clan member, merely having demon power reach the seventh-realm level does not count as being in the seventh realm.

Just like his current spiritual power, which is still at the fourth realm but already comparable to the sixth-realm level.

Under continuous acceleration, the Star Sea Flying Boat finally approached Yao Xing.

Under the influence of Yao Xing's gravity, its speed did not decrease but increased, further accelerating.

At this point, Yao Xing was already about to fully retreat.

When Yao Xing emerged, it encountered obstruction and had not yet fully descended after several hours.

Retreating, however, was quick.

It's only been forty-some minutes, and it's about to fully retreat.

"Quick!"

All the demon clan members who attacked Lan Xing must desperately rush to Yao Xing.

If they can't catch up and Yao Xing runs away, then it's game over.

In the vast expanse of cosmic space, even those of the sixth or seventh realm would fall into despair.

It's not that they can't survive, but it's too far, too far—how can they return?

However, those of the sixth or seventh realm can definitely make it back.

Earlier, the sixth- and seventh-realm beings only launched their attack nearly three hours after Yao Xing appeared; it wasn't that they failed to reach Lan Xing, but they were waiting for the main force and the Insect Clan.

Below the sixth realm, it depends on the situation.

If there is a demon clan member of sixth realm or higher leading them, they can still make it back.

If no one leads them and they don't have a sufficiently fast flying vessel, then it's game over.

This wave, the number of people abandoned by Yao Xing is destined to be not small.

Finally, Lu Xun entered the demon clan's atmosphere, charging straight up to the horizontal line where Yao Xing's floating island layer is located.

Now there's no worry of being left behind.

He stopped, without rashly entering Yao Xing's ground.

"The Ancient God is coming!"

The Ancient God is getting ever closer.

To the naked eye, it is larger than the sun.

"What a pity, such a fine planet, cheap for this guy."

"I hope that person will be alright."

"It is a demon immortal's reincarnation; to successfully reincarnate, one must be a person of great fortune, not so easily killed."

Above Yao Xing, a group of Yao Xing powerhouses gathered there.

Yao Xing is about to depart, and they are not at all worried about the Ancient God.

They just each feel it's a pity.

This time they failed to take Lan Xing, nor did they find the Ancient Demon's reincarnation, and moreover they were forced to abandon vast numbers of demon clan members, resulting in huge losses.

"Damn it!"

In the crowd, a strange-looking demon man wore a sullen expression.

His clones were almost about to capture Lu Xun, but instead Lu Xun and Barbara joined forces to counter-kill them.

The reincarnation of an ancient demon is certainly not that simple.

The eerie man finally understood how troublesome the ancient demon is.

This instead sparked in him an even greater longing for the ancient demon.

Too late!

Let's use the God-Slaying Cannon to go all-out against the Ancient God!

On the other side, above Lan Xing, many human powerhouses wore grim faces.

Although Lan Xing was accelerating, attempting to enter the dark universe, it was simply too late.

The Ancient God arrived too quickly.

At this moment, places like the Celestial Mechanism City and Noah's Ark-like fire seeds have already drifted far from Lan Xing.

If Lan Xing is destroyed, they will preserve humanity's last seed.

It's here!

A long-bearded old man spoke in a low voice.

The other powerhouses looked over, all sucking in a breath of cold air.

Only to see, hundreds of thousands of li away, the void was forcibly torn apart, and a terrifying giant engulfed in heavenly‑blazing flames stepped forth.

That giant was enormously huge, its stature comparable to Lan Xing itself; each step it took caused the surrounding space to shudder violently, and the raging flames illuminated the entire starfield in crimson.

Its two eyes, like great suns, swept over and locked onto Lan Xing.

We're doomed!

Everyone's hearts shook violently, their Dao hearts near breaking.

Just seeing such an Ancient God left them unable to muster any fighting spirit.

Truly an Ancient God—who would have thought that such a ferocious thing lay dormant in this ancient road junction; how could we have missed it before?

On Yao Xing, numerous demon‑race powerhouses also saw the Ancient God.

Unlike the despair of the Lan Xing powerhouses,

these demon‑race powerhouses remained calm and composed, even looking forward to the show.

Because Yao Xing had fully retreated into the passage and was about to vanish from here.

Boom!

The starry sky shuddered.

The Ancient God no longer darted through the starry sky, but stepped forward.

Each step covered tens of thousands of li.

The flames burning all over its body made it appear even more terrifying.

As it drew near, Lan Xing's Heavenly Dao trembled violently, and between heaven and earth a resonant 'hum' filled the air.

Heavenly Dao... to the Ancient God, is a great tonic.

Quick, look—what is that?

Good heavens~

In Lan Xing's outer space, countless people saw the Ancient God and all cried out in alarm.

Get ready to fire!

In the Grand Void Secret Realm, a huge cannon extended its barrel.

This is the God‑Slaying Cannon.

Though smaller in volume than the Star‑Annihilating Cannon, its power is far greater—by who knows how many times.

Unlike the Star‑Annihilating Cannon, it runs on Dark Energy.

Since Lan Xing acquired it already damaged, and it has never been repaired over the years, if the God‑Slaying Cannon is used now it can fire only a single shot.

Afterward it will likely suffer even greater damage and become unusable.

But for now, we have no choice but to try a desperate remedy.

Wait!

Just as the God‑Slaying Cannon was about to fire, a Lan Xing powerhouse suddenly noticed something and called for a halt.

Huh?

The other Lan Xing powerhouses also let out a soft 'huh'.

Because the Ancient God, whose aura surged as it charged toward Lan Xing, after sweeping its gaze over Lan Xing, abruptly changed course and rushed toward Yao Xing.

Not good!

On Yao Xing, all the demon‑race powerhouses' faces changed drastically.

They all acted together, driving Yao Xing completely into the teleportation channel.

Boom!

But at that moment, the Ancient God tore open the void and actually pursued along the teleportation channel.

No!

The demon‑race powerhouses were dumbfounded.
