Chapter 630

"Elder brother, what are you saying?"

Jiuling Xianzi's expression was somewhat hesitant, and she couldn't help but step toward Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian gazed calmly, and with a wave of his hand, a vast divine power surged toward Jiuling Xianzi.

Zhang Jian held nothing back with this strike; wherever the Divine Light of the Earth Emperor passed, a tremendous force pierced the void, as if the power of myriad heavens and earth had condensed within it.

Under this force, the very void of the Fumo Mountain Valley trembled and quivered, as if it might at any moment be shattered by the resonance of myriad heavens and earth.

In the distance, Tian Yue Daozun, Tai Yan Daozun, and Zi Hua Xianjun sensed the anomaly; their eyes flickered with agitation, yet they did not speak to stop it.

Yet in that very spot, Jiuling Xianzi's form flickered and vanished instantly.

The purple-yellow immortal light, just as it was about to land, suddenly twisted in the void of its own accord, sweeping toward a region like a celestial waterfall.

Then a cluster of pitch-black demonic light manifested from the void, instantly transforming into a colossal void mask that fiercely devoured the purple-yellow immortal light entirely.

A deep, echoing voice drifted from the depths of the void, carrying coldness and gloom!

"Elder brother, you truly break my heart!"

"Thousand-Faced Evil Aspect, Void Devouring!"

Gazing at the enormous faceless mask from afar, Tai Yan Daozun and Tian Yue Daozun's expressions changed; in an instant, they appeared beside Jiuling Xianzi, the three forming a triangular encirclement around her.

"You are the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord!"

Tai Yan Demon Lord's eyes burned with sun-like fierce fire, his pupils deep within flashing with intense severity.

Deep within the Fumo Valley, numerous immortals and deities heard this and changed expression, simultaneously gathering around Zi Hua Xianjun, fully on guard.

In the eyes of many immortals and deities, there was no lack of vigilance and fear.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord is a notorious demon in heaven and earth, a major criminal in the Chonghua Palace.

This is a supreme demon lord.

He actually escaped!

Moreover, he seized the true form of a female immortal and stealthily arrived here.

What does he intend to do?

At this moment, Zhang Jian also gazed at the gradually vanishing void mask, his eyes flickering slightly.

The true form of the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord is the Supreme Heart Demon, truly formidable.

Yet his renowned mastery remains the Thousand-Faced Demon Aspect.

It is said the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord painted a thousand demonic visages using the seven emotions and six desires of the azure heavens as ink, each possessing unique power.

This is also the source of his ability to undergo myriad transformations.

This Thousand-Faced Aspect is extraordinarily evil, yet immensely domineering.

The void mask is taken from a powerful demon lord named Void Devourer from the extraterritorial demon realm; the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord seized this demon lord's cultivation and transformed it into one of his demonic aspects.

It possesses the power to swallow heaven and earth, as well as the ability to transform all things.

"Earth Emperor Daozun, why must you do this?"

At this moment, the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord let out a faint, echoing sigh.

Yet countless waves of demonic qi surged from the depths of Jiuling Xianzi's hundreds of orifices, instantly revealing innumerable ink-black demonic qi like brushstrokes, streaking across the void toward Zhang Jian.

The ink-colored demonic qi resembled terrifying demon serpents, each brimming with the mighty power to obliterate all things in the void, as if a certain law could transform everything into nothingness.

To be tainted by it would surely be utterly horrifying.

Yet before Zhang Jian, countless yin and yang qi manifested.

First-rank Eternal Dao Law: Eastern Emperor Nine Yang Splitting Immortal Law.

First-rank Eternal Dao Law: Great Yin Refinement of Form Law.

First-rank Eternal Dao Law: Innate Yin-Yang Two Instruments Annihilating Divine Light.

Zhang Jian's hands flew as he formed seals before him; within the seal technique, tiny innate yin-yang taiji diagrams seemed to flow forth, the innate yin-yang divine light continually expanding, and in an instant collided with the countless ink-black demonic qi, the innate yin-yang divine light re-differentiating the void demonic qi.

Strands of innate yin-yang divine light seemed to open up in the boundless void a primordial yin-yang world formed from primordial yin-yang qi, simultaneously reversing toward the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord.

Yet upon encountering the void-devouring mask, it was still completely devoured by that mask.

Meanwhile, in Tai Yan Daozun's hand, a whisk appeared, its motion like releasing rolling fire dragons from within, burning and annihilating heaven and earth.

In Tian Yue Daozun's hand, a azure-bladed divine sword appeared, its light slicing straight forward with extreme speed, carrying a mighty eternal dao rhythm as if forged by divine craftsmanship.

Yet facing the three Daozun's encirclement, the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord remained extraordinarily composed; the ink-black demonic qi around him like an umbilical cord, simultaneously manifesting two similarly strange faces in two other directions.

One face was azure-blue, skin like the vast sea surging, horns like a dragon's antlers standing firm—seemingly the visage of an extraterritorial dragon demon; it opened its mouth and suddenly spewed forth strands of azure-blue divine light, instantly freezing Tai Yan Daozun's fire dragon, which seemed to burn the world, into solid ice.

On the other side appeared a face like a diamond monster, countless golden lights condensing into a terrifying golden figure hundreds of zhang tall, wielding weapons clashing against those sharp, peerless sword lights.

One against three.

Simultaneously, strands of ink-black demonic qi burst forth from beneath his feet, manifesting a terrifying ferocious demonic aspect, rushing deep into the Fumo Valley to assault the surrounding prohibitions.

Tai Yan Daozun gazed at this scene, his expression shifting, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"His aim is the Five Tribulations Heart Demon Seal in the Fumo Valley; we must not let him break the prohibition, nor let him absorb the boundless resentful demonic qi within!"

In the distance, Zi Hua Xianjun, upon hearing this, immediately spoke in a deep voice.

"Martial Uncle, I will attempt to activate the three World-Stabilizing Divine Artifacts to stabilize the prohibition!"

There, the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord possessed Jiuling Xianzi; only see his black demonic pupils gradually appearing in the eye sockets, then two streaks of black light shot straight toward Zi Hua Xianjun.

Those two streaks of black light carried the power to demonize all things.

If Zi Hua Xianzi and others were struck head-on by this demonic light, even if they did not directly fall into the demonic path, they would still be disturbed by the heart demon.

At this moment, Zhang Jian, Tai Yan Daozun, and Tian Yue Daozun were all restrained by this peerless demon lord.

His vast, formless demonic domain had already unfolded, like a cosmic demonic universe.

Yet Zi Hua Xianzi's brow suddenly blossomed with a blue lotus.

First-rank Eternal Dao Law: Qinglian Purifying Soul Mantra.

This is a supreme protective spell bestowed upon her by Zhang Jian.

The cyan treasure lotus appeared in the void, emitting a redeeming and purifying immortal light that instantly purified the two demonic lights.

However, some of the surrounding Taiyi realm cultivators, those of the Taiyi True Number level of immortals and deities, were slightly infected by the demonic light, and demonic energy began to rise from their bodies, their minds disturbed by demonic thoughts, forcing them to sit cross-legged and exert all their strength to resist the spread of their own demonic thoughts.

Before the Subduing Demon Heavenly Wheel, having just tested his skills, Zhang Jian already understood that the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord before him was likely a third-transformation Demon Lord.

The third-transformation Demon Lord and the third-transformation Dao Lord are naturally of the same level of existence.

It is only to be feared that at his peak, he was not far from the Dao Venerable realm.

Fortunately, this one had been imprisoned in the Chonghua Palace for a very long time.

It is only to be feared that after escaping for tens of thousands of years, he has only recovered a portion of his cultivation.

If he were allowed to rush into the Subduing Demon Valley and devour the boundless demonic energy of the Five Tribulations Heart Demon, as well as the Five Tribulations Demon Seal, then he would be even more difficult to deal with.

A thought flashed through Zhang Jian's mind, and at this moment he addressed the Taiyan Dao Lord and the Tianyue Dao Lord: "Two seniors, I will restrain this demon; two seniors, please seize the opportunity to strike and slay the demon lord!"

Deep in Zhang Jian's pupils, a faint cyan divine light flowed, and a third-grade cyan treasure lotus flew out from deep within his glabella.

This time he did not prepare to use the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Qiankun Diagram.

Although the middle-grade innate spiritual treasure, the third-grade innate creation cyan lotus, is somewhat weaker in rank, the purifying power contained within the third-grade innate creation cyan lotus is extremely effective against extraterritorial demonic paths.

Zhang Jian's glabella Dao fruit merged with the third-grade innate creation cyan lotus, and behold, a dense beam of innate creation cyan lotus immortal light flew out from within.

This innate divine prohibition gate blossomed, and wherever it passed, the layered phantoms of the extraterritorial demonic cosmos seemed to be pierced by cyan immortal light, where the boundless demonic energy condensed in the void of the extraterritorial demonic cosmos formed a huge void face, which was swept by cyan divine light, also emitting a heart-rending and lung-splitting pain, as countless demonic energies dispersed from within.

It was forcibly swept open, shooting straight into the depths of the extraterritorial demonic cosmos, sweeping away that terrifying demon lord who, like the master of the demonic path, was born with an umbilical cord giving rise to boundless demon gods.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord sensed this scene, and his countenance could not help but change.

He also sensed the manifestation of the innate spiritual treasure, and his palm rapidly formed seals, as if billions of demonic phantoms from behind him were raising their heads to howl at the heavens, instantly merging into his body.

Boundless demonic energy surged around his body, as if he had forged the true form of a supreme demon lord born in the primordial ages.

"Myriad Demons Enter the Body, Myriad Aspects Demon Seal!"

He rapidly formed seals in his hand, creating a huge demonic energy shield.

But in the next instant, his figure changed, and he was flung backward by the impact of the innate creation cyan lotus immortal light, the cosmos collapsing!

Layers of demonic phantoms around his body dissipated, as if in an instant hundreds of demonic aspects broke through the shield, transforming into pure demonic energy that was purified.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord's face turned slightly pale, and the expression in his eyes was not pleasant.

As Zhang Jian had anticipated, although he had escaped for tens of thousands of years, being in the Thirty-Three Heavens, he could only hide here and there, and the recovery of his cultivation was extremely difficult.

Tens of thousands of years had only allowed for an initial recovery of a small portion of his cultivation.

He could not possibly maintain this combat power for a long time.

Moreover, the most dangerous aspect is that he is currently a bare-bones commander, possessing only his cultivation and not a single useful treasure, facing this group of fully armed heavenly Dao Lords, he is at a great disadvantage.

"Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, you dare to occupy my foster sister's body, tarnish the reputation of my Nine Nether Emperor Lord's mansion, today I will let you fall here!"

Zhang Jian's eyes were abnormally dangerous.

If he had not successfully broken through to the Dao Lord realm, facing this flying cauldron, the upper and lower levels of the Nine Nether Emperor Lord's mansion would have been in great trouble.

He resolved not to let the other party off.

His body emanated the powers of Qiankun, Kanli, Zhengen, and Zexun, and in an instant evolved into a three-dimensional Taiji Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams diagram, radiant light flowing, wherever it passed all things congealed, as if the terrifying divine power evolved from the eight forces was forcibly suppressing them within.

Wherever the eight-colored divine light passed, the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord manifested many demonic energy umbilical cords, and the demonic aspects floating on those umbilical cords slightly congealed.

Zhang Jian also felt that his own cultivation seemed to merge into this eternal Dao law like a flood.

First-grade Eternal Dao Law: Earth Sovereign Eight Trigrams.

And at this moment, within the eight-colored divine light of the Earth Sovereign Eight Trigrams, a strand of purple-yellow immortal light flowed forth.

That is the first-grade Eternal Dao Law: Mountains, Rivers, and the State Diagram.

Once this matrix-form eternal Dao law takes shape, it completely suppresses the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord within the evolved eight-colored divine light, as if the power of the vast earth and mountains of the primordial cosmos is suppressing him.

The layers of demonic realms manifesting behind the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord collapsed over a large area, turning into illusions!

In the immortal light, Zhang Jian's Qiankun Diagram behind him quietly merged with the Mountains, Rivers, and the State Diagram, greatly enhancing its suppressing power.

In this moment, the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, as a third-transformation Demon Lord, actually felt unable to move.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord's forehead veins bulged, boundless demonic energy boiled around his body, and even within, a portion of the divine aspects of demon lords from one of the six great demon realms evolved, as he struggled with all his might.

He is the extraterritorial heavenly demon realm's demon lord closest to the demon venerable realm, a third-transformation Demon Lord—how could he be suppressed by a newly promoted Dao Lord?

"Good opportunity!"

The Taiyan Dao Lord and the Tianyue Dao Lord, two innate goddesses, witnessed this scene and immediately seized the opportunity, the two Dao Lords flying upward, each manifesting a strand of innate divine light deep in their palms, which merged into one, suddenly manifesting as yin and yang qi, within which condensed into a terrifying divine blade.

In the depths of the void, it seemed as if yin and yang divine light intertwined, forming a special yin-yang divine scissors, which in an instant cut through the immobile Thousand-Faced Demon Lord's true form.

Amid a cry of incomparable anguish, the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord's vast demon god true form was suddenly severed into two parts.

However, even as the two parts separated, streams of terrifying eternal will probed out from the demonic energy, like countless tentacles, beginning to re-intertwine, grow, and suture.

"How beautiful your thoughts are!"

Zhang Jian gazed at this scene, and a slender, earth-yellow cow-hair divine needle manifested deep in his palm, formless divine light flashing.

Yet, the lower half of the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord began to petrify silently and without sound.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord sensed this, his countenance changed, and he cursed angrily.

"You heavenly beings are truly despicable, ganging up three against one is already bad enough, yet you even used innate spiritual treasures for a sneak attack! What kind of immortals and deities are you? You are not even as good as demon lords!"

"When dealing with a demon lord like you, what rules are there to speak of?"

In the distance, the Taiyan Dao Lord's eyes held a cold smile, though her pupils were somewhat unusual.

This Earth Sovereign Dao Lord had already consecutively manifested two innate spiritual treasures in a short time.

She could be said to possess a rich foundation.

Although she and the Tianyue Dao Lord are close attendants of the Yaochi Holy Mother, they do not possess such a foundation.

At the same time, the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord's cultivation also made her feel terrified.

The Three Sovereigns and the Dao Monarch struck simultaneously, and only then did they manage to severely wound the opponent.

This was despite the opponent having already suffered grave injuries, lacking any protective supreme treasure, and being under various other unfavorable conditions.

Had they been at their peak, the three of them might not have been able to inflict such severe wounds.

At this moment, she too dared not delay, taking advantage of the Earth Emperor Dao Monarch's severe wounding of the opponent, the Blazing Flame Dao Monarch mercilessly beat the drowning dog.

A trace of crimson divine light flowed and turned within her palm.

This was also a fifth-grade eternal immortal treasure, the Pure Yang Gathering Heart Nail.

A streak of firelight split into dozens of strands in the void, suddenly piercing the upper body of the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch, causing layers of innate pure yang divine flame to ignite across his entire form.

The Heaven Transcending Dao Monarch's long sword then gave rise to layers of azure light.

This too was an eternal fifth-grade immortal treasure; the azure radiance, upon slicing through the demon monarch's残躯, instantly scattered like wind and clouds, vanishing within the azure sword light that cleansed the cosmos.

Yet even after the true form of the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch was slain, it did not immediately collapse.

The countless demonic energies it scattered now resembled great serpents, spreading outward in all directions.

Part of the demonic energy evolved into towering demonic visages, surging like a flood toward the禁法.

Another part fled into the earth, seeking direct escape.

At this moment, in the heart of the Subduing Demon Valley, Zi Hua Xianjun gazed upon the true form of the Nine Spirits Xianzi as it vanished, a faint sorrow flickering in her eyes, yet she had no time to grieve, fully activating the three World-Stabilizing Divine Artifacts, triggering the禁法 within the Subduing Demon Valley, forming layer upon layer of golden light that enveloped the sealed ground, preventing the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch, in its final desperation, from rushing inside.

Seeing the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch still attempting a last stand, Zhang Jian opened his palm, and the post-heaven spiritual treasure, the Nine Heavens Azure Lotus Diagram, blossomed from within his palm.

A chaotic immortal bridge arched across the sky, wherever it passed, it halted all time and space, demonic energy; the entire Subduing Demon Valley seemed to fall into eternal tranquility and purity, as azure lotus blossoms emerged one after another—whether in the heavens or upon the earth, each blooming with azure radiance, wherever they passed, countless demonic energies were annihilated, demonic visages collapsed, and in an instant, all was swept clean.

For a moment, only the final trace of demonic energy remained, taking shape in the void, evolving into the visage of the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch, his eyes fixed rigidly upon Zhang Jian.

"Earth Emperor Dao Monarch, this matter is not over!"
