Chapter 502: Nine Realms Death

"Three minutes left!"

Lu Xun did not waste time.

He activated the Myriad Blood True Solution again, drawing out a strand of primordial Qi, then launched a fierce attack.

"Boom!"

"No!"

On another main vine of Chi Sha Yao Huang, this strike from Lu Xun left it covered in cracks again.

The next second, a storm of blade-like petals formed from countless petals surged forward, shredding that main vine of Chi Sha Yao Huang.

It was Hai Tang Yao Huang.

She and Lu Xun had never teamed up before, yet their coordination was flawless.

After all, she is a Demon Emperor.

Her grasp of battle opportunities is undoubtedly extraordinarily keen.

In a short time, Chi Sha Yao Huang lost two of its main vines.

With only seven main vines left, breaking the formation became even harder for him.

And as the formation's power grew, his strength was being wildly suppressed.

Chi Sha Yao Huang panicked.

He was truly panicking.

Upon reaching the Nine Realms, many trump cards of the Seventh and Eighth Realms are actually nothing to them.

Like a ninth-grade talisman, in the face of the Nine Realms it's just a joke.

A ninth-grade attack talisman is equivalent to a single strike of the Nine Realms.

A ninth-grade escape talisman equals the speed of the Nine Realms or some escape means.

For the Nine Realms, these are not considered trump cards at all.

Unless they are tenth-grade.

But tenth-grade talismans are exceedingly rare; currently, the major spirit stars cannot produce them.

As for the ancient road nodes, there might be some, but Chi Sha Yao Huang doesn't have any.

His trump cards mainly consist of some secret arts, plus things he previously obtained from other demon emperors, and the Chi Sha Hell.

Now, they have been mostly used up.

In fact, after Lu Xun used the Myriad Blood True Solution to draw out primordial Qi, Chi Sha Yao Huang has no choice but to die unless he can escape.

Moreover, there is also a Hai Tang Yao Huang beside him.

If it were in the outside world, Chi Sha Yao Huang would not fear Hai Tang Yao Huang at all.

But he cannot withstand the suppression this formation imposes on him, and Hai Tang Yao Huang has all these years been intent on killing Chi Sha Yao Huang.

Her methods are all aimed at Chi Sha Yao Huang.

For example, now,

Her Rouge Prison is already taking effect.

Visually, this Rouge Prison is splendidly magnificent.

Petals fill the sky, fluttering down; if it were a woman of olden times, she would surely find it utterly romantic.

But in fact, it hides a deadly intent within.

That is, she is using it against Chi Sha Yao Huang.

If Hai Tang Yao Huang used this move against ordinary people, it could instantly wipe out a city of tens of millions, turning it into a dead zone.

"Don't even think about killing this emperor!"

Chi Sha Yao Huang's eyes turned blood-red.

After having two main vines destroyed in succession, his Chi Sha Hell also broken, and with no hope of breaking out, his mindset became somewhat anxious.

His guard against Hai Tang Yao Huang's Rouge Prison was greatly lowered.

Under its influence, his mindset further veered toward collapse.

"Hum~"

Southern Ming Separation Fire intensified; even if Chi Sha Yao Huang spared no cost to withstand it, its consumption per second is enormous.

He still has trump cards.

"Demon God Bone!"

Chi Sha Yao Huang fiercely took out a bone, activated it with a main vine, and smashed it at the formation.

"Boom!"

Then he saw.

Under this blow, the formation's curtain actually was blasted open with a large hole.

"Hahaha!"

Chi Sha Yao Huang laughed loudly, about to burst out.

But before he could burst out, a figure appeared there.

An astonishing aura emanated from his body.

Merely sensing that aura,

Chi Sha Yao Huang's whole body stiffened, his demonic power congealed as if frozen.

That aura seemed like an ancient icy abyss; even a trace leaking out made its marrow chill and limbs stiffen.

Fear, like a poisonous snake, surged from his depths, frenziedly gnawing at his fighting spirit.

At this moment, he could not even swing his main vines.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a scarlet storm swept past, snatching away the demon god bone that the Chi Sha Yao Huang had taken out.

That broken formation curtain also recovered.

No!

The Chi Sha Yao Huang despaired.

With great difficulty he broke the formation curtain, but then he was frightened like this, and all his effort came to nothing!

This is not his fault.

Because the one who frightened him was Gu Yao.

Gu Yao had just summoned a thread of immortal power.

More precisely, it was a breath that stirred the immortal power.

That was genuine immortal power.

Don't even mention the Nine Realms.

Even if someone from the Tenth Realm sensed this aura, they would be frightened and tremble.

Break!

Break it for this emperor!

Boom boom boom~

After the Chi Sha Yao Huang's demon god bone was seized, he was stimulated, acting like a madman, his true body constantly wandering around the formation curtain, striking as he walked.

His idea was good: by wandering to avoid Lu Xun's attacks, then blasting open the trapping formation.

But Lu Xun would not let him have his way.

Boom!

Lu Xun performed a God Dragon Tail Swing, launching another strike.

The Chi Sha Yao Huang could not dodge in time, and had to use demonic vines to block.

Otherwise, Lu Xun would strike the core of his true body.

Ordinary demonic vines were shattered by Lu Xun directly, and then Lu Xun attacked the main vine.

Under the effect of the primordial aura, this strike's power was astonishing, and the main vine instantly split.

After Lu Xun finished this strike, he no longer paid attention to that main vine, and fiercely killed toward the Chi Sha Yao Huang's core.

The Xue Tang Yao Huang seized the opportunity, closely following up, and crushed that main vine of the Chi Sha Yao Huang.

No!

This is the third one.

Fortunately, the Chi Sha Yao Huang, taking advantage of Lu Xun's new strength not yet having followed up, forcibly fled a distance to the side, dodging Lu Xun's next strike.

But Lu Xun clung like a bone-attached maggot, closely pursuing.

Boom!

Another main vine was shattered.

Four!

Four main vines were destroyed in succession, greatly weakening the Chi Sha Yao Huang's combat power.

He certainly still had other means, such as some demon clan techniques that are extremely troublesome even for those at the Seventh and Eighth Realms.

But these techniques can deal with those at the Seventh and Eighth Realms, yet are insufficient against the Ninth Realm.

The strongest aspect of the demon clan is still their bodies.

The Chi Sha Yao Huang is no exception.

Again!

Lu Xun pursued the victory and struck again.

Boom!

Fifth!

By now, the Chi Sha Yao Huang had only four main vines left.

But Lu Xun suddenly flashed to the side, ending his demonic transformation and restoring his human form.

What do you mean?

Gu Yao's voice sounded in Lu Xun's ear.

She had been maintaining this trapping formation to prevent accidents.

Earlier, the Chi Sha Yao Huang's use of the demon god bone was not just an accident, was it?

Fortunately, Gu Yao frightened him with immortal power; otherwise, the Chi Sha Yao Huang might really have escaped.

"Nine main vines, I have already dealt with five; his strength is less than half now. The rest is left to you—since we are cooperating, it's impossible for me to do everything,"

Lu Xun said lightly.

Gu Yao remained silent for a few seconds, then said: "Good."

After reaching the agreement, Lu Xun further retreated and no longer made a move.

The reason he does not act is naturally not just that.

More importantly, Lu Xun's primordial ancient blood has only about a minute of fusion time left.

Lu Xun cannot afford to use it all up.

He wants to keep it as a precaution.

Otherwise, what if after dealing with the Chi Sha Yao Huang, Gu Yao disregards the oath and insists on attacking Lu Xun?

Lu Xun will not go to block it.

"He's done for, Xue Tang; just you, don't even dream of killing me, hahahaha!"

Chi Sha Yao Huang, however, felt Lu Xun was done for, saw a turning point, and burst out laughing.

"Is that so?"

Xue Tang Yao Huang's voice turned cold.

Her strikes, however, grew ever more fierce.

The two demon kings then launched into a great battle within the formation.

Lu Xun became merely a spectator.

Without Lu Xun leading the offense, Xue Tang Yao Huang's attacks seemed less sharp.

Even though Chi Sha Yao Huang's strength was suppressed by the formation and Lu Xun had destroyed five of its main vines, Xue Tang Yao Huang still found it no easy task to defeat Chi Sha Yao Huang.

There was no way around it—Chi Sha Yao Huang was inherently far stronger than her.

Consequently, Chi Sha Yao Huang could still, while fighting her, divert a main vine to attack the formation.

He had to attack.

Otherwise, as time passed, the formation's suppression on him would only grow stronger.

This fight went on for a full day.

After a day, neither had gained the upper hand, but Chi Sha Yao Huang was already losing ground.

Xue Tang Yao Huang grew braver the longer she fought.

The suppression on Chi Sha Yao Huang also grew increasingly severe.

If they kept fighting, he would only get worse.

Sure enough, after another day, Xue Tang Yao Huang successfully destroyed one of Chi Sha Yao Huang's main vines.

Now he had only three main vines left, and his combat power dropped further.

Meanwhile, Xue Tang Yao Huang's Rouge Prison grew stronger, even causing Chi Sha Yao Huang to experience hallucinations.

This Rouge Prison was simply devastating in such a confined environment.

Although Lu Xun wasn't fighting, he also drove the Southern Ming Separation Fire to apply pressure.

"Recovered halfway."

After another day, on the third day, Lu Xun's Primordial Ancient Blood could recombine for more than five minutes.

This was also the main reason Lu Xun stood by and watched.

He wanted to drag the battle out long enough for the cooldown on his Primordial Ancient Blood to gradually refresh.

At this point, Chi Sha Yao Huang had only two main vines left.

Xue Tang Yao Huang's own consumption was not small either; she had deployed her true form.

Her true form was a ten-thousand-meter-tall blood-colored crabapple tree.

"Well, it's a tree."

As for her methods, Lu Xun summarized several points.

First, the Rouge Prison, which is a domain- and poison-type attack.

Second, the Thousand Night Crabapple, i. e., the Flower Blade Storm, or the Scarlet Storm.

Don't underestimate this storm.

Each petal rivals a flying sword, easily leveling mountains.

There is also the Thousand Vines Hand, which deploys blood-colored vines to seal and strangle.

This move is somewhat similar to Chi Sha Yao Huang's blood vines, but its direct combat strength is weaker; it is mainly used for sealing.

Besides that, there are some other arts, all related to petals, vines, and thorns.

There are also mental-type techniques.

Although she had destroyed two of Chi Sha Yao Huang's main vines, Xue Tang Yao Huang herself also suffered some injury.

This, too, was part of Lu Xun's plan.

Once Xue Tang Yao Huang had expended enough energy, if Gu Yao really went back on his word and joined her to attack Lu Xun, Lu Xun would no longer fear it.

Unless Gu Yao used immortal power.

Then Lu Xun would accept defeat.

At worst, he'd be killed by her immortal power.

She only has a trace of immortal power.

Lu Xun... but he has two lives.

His Immortal Divine Phoenix Vein, though it never amounted to much because he couldn't cultivate it, still truly granted Lu Xun two lives.

Saying it's two lives isn't quite accurate.

More precisely, it is Nirvana power.

Even if Lu Xun is slain, he can be reborn through Nirvana.

Of course, after rebirth, the Nirvana power contained in his Immortal Divine Phoenix Vein is gone.

"Boom—boom—boom~"

After fighting for most of another day, Xue Tang Yao Huang, risking injury to her true form, shattered another of Chi Sha Yao Huang's main vines.

Now, Chi Sha Yao Huang has only his last main vine left.

"You're dead!"

Xue Tang Yao Huang's eyes gleamed with delight; she pressed the attack, unleashing endless Scarlet Storms to destroy Chi Sha Yao Huang's final main vine.

"Then let's die together!"

Chi Sha Yao Huang's eyes flashed with madness.

By now, he had long since lost any hope of escape.

He simply stopped trying to escape.

He suddenly lashed out with his last main vine, wrapping it around the main body of Xue Tang Yao Huang.

At the same time, within his body, a destructive force was about to erupt.

"He's going to self-destruct!"

Lu Xun had anticipated this.

He instantly activated the Instant Word Technique, then entered the Time Rift.

Just as he entered the Time Rift, Lu Xun merged with the Primordial Ancient Blood.

The Instant Word Technique is a martial cultivator's secret technique, i. e., a martial skill, and it cannot be activated when merging with the Primordial Ancient Blood.

But Lu Xun exploited a bug.

He first entered the Time Rift, then merged with the Primordial Ancient Blood.

Now, the dragon-transformed Lu Xun was also in the Time Rift.

The Time Rift lasted only a short time.

But it was enough.

"Roar!"

Lu Xun took advantage of being in the Time Rift, instantly rushed forward, and dealt Chi Sha Yao Huang a final blow.

This blow contained primordial aura.

"No..."

Chi Sha Yao Huang watched Lu Xun approach, but was utterly unable to stop him.

Even wanting to self-destruct came too late.

Lu Xun was too fast, many times faster than before.

Then,

He was then struck by Lu Xun.

And then,

His main body instantly exploded.

Countless petals seized the opportunity to fly up, wrapping Chi Sha Yao Huang's main body into fragments.
