Chapter 409: Annihilating Great Black Heaven

Great Black Heaven gazed at the demonic ape opposite him and suddenly sensed an immensely familiar aura.

"The aura of the Mountain-Colossus Ape Wang Zu."

"And the 'Heavenly Demon Body-Refining Strategy'; it is actually at the peak of the True Pill stage."

"You brat, what exactly is your relationship with that fellow Gushan?"

His eyes flickered with suspicion; he even began to doubt whether the person before him was the illegitimate child of the Gushan Demon Saint and a human, for otherwise, how could he possess the bloodline aura of the Mountain-Colossus Ape and cultivate the 'Heavenly Demon Body-Refining Strategy,' this holy scripture of the demon race, to such an astonishing realm.

Relying solely on his physical body, he could clash head-on with a fourth-stage Demon Saint.

Hearing this, Qin Mou remained silent; in one of his hands, a blood-colored inkstone materialized, precisely the Blood Futu spiritual treasure.

He frantically injected magic power into it to activate it, then tossed it upward.

In an instant, before Great Black Heaven could react, the scenery before his eyes abruptly changed, transforming into a boundless sea of blood.

Great Black Heaven's mind grew hazy, his chest tightened with nausea, and his own demon power, seemingly affected by this sea of blood, began to circulate with unprecedented sluggishness.

Finding himself in this realm, his entire cultivation strength was forcibly suppressed below the fourth stage.

Not only that, but the gravity within this space also surged abruptly, causing his massive body to move slowly.

This greatly diminished the flight speed that the Gale-Diao clan had always been proud of within this space.

"A pseudo-spiritual treasure!" Great Black Heaven, the Demon Saint, suddenly realized.

Qin Mou paid no heed to the other's reaction; gathering the power of his divine sense, he directly unleashed a divine sense attack from the 'Nether Soul Art.'

Demon-Slaying Thorn! The divine sense attack was formless and imageless, making it impossible to guard against.

The power of this secret technique, launched by his divine sense nearly at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, was imaginable.

The Great Black Heaven Demon Saint opposite him revealed a trace of ruthlessness in his emerald pupils; his black wings vibrated once, repelling the surrounding blood light.

Just as he was about to launch an offensive, the next moment, everything went dark before his eyes, and a heart-piercing, excruciating pain suddenly erupted within his consciousness sea!

"Ah!!!"

Great Black Heaven clutched his head and let out a miserable howl, having been struck unexpectedly.

Being hit so easily in his divine soul had two causes: first, he had never expected Qin Mou to possess divine soul power comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Second, although the Gale-Diao clan possessed an incredibly robust physical body, their divine soul was precisely their weakness; furthermore, with his cultivation suppressed within the Blood Futu, he found it even harder to resist.

This time, Qin Mou had also struck by luck, hitting Great Black Heaven's vital weakness squarely.

As the saying goes, when an enemy is ill, take his life.

Qin Mou showed no mercy whatsoever; the sea of blood churned up towering waves, and with a casual grab, he condensed a blood spear dozens of zhang long, flinging it out fiercely!

A streak of blood light sliced across the sky, thrusting straight toward the Great Black Heaven Demon Saint.

Yet, a black feather beneath the Great Black Heaven Demon Saint's neck detached, turning into bubbles and dissipating in mid-air.

It seemed he had just paid a huge price to barely withstand Qin Mou's Demon-Slaying Thorn attack.

Immediately after, his black-feathered giant wings swept across, obliterating the blood spear that was about to strike him.

The giant wings of the Gale-Diao erupted with a burst of black light; after repelling the blood radiance approaching him, they shot out countless beams of black feather light that pierced the void, covering the sky and earth as they surged fiercely toward Qin Mou.

The demonic ape form of Qin Mou flashed with light in his eyes, and the aura on his body began to climb and soar! Amidst the boundless sea of blood, he strode forward with domineering presence.

With every step he took.

The oppressive killing intent on his body became increasingly terrifying.

Until countless black thunderbolts exploded upon the demonic ape's body!

The blood-colored demonic ape bent his knees and leaped, his massive figure charging toward the firmament.

His right hand's five fingers joined together, forming a fist that emitted a shining light like a death-star.

Boom! Crimson light flashed explosively; atop the fist shadow, crimson-gold flames suddenly erupted once more—this was the Crimson Kirin Heavenly Fire!

This punch was truly too dazzling; it was the strongest attack Qin Mou had condensed since beginning his cultivation.

The entire Blood Refinement World was shrouded in red light.

When the killing intent that extinguished everything spread out, heaven and earth lost all color.

The blood-colored demonic ape, now resembling one holding the great sun, roared like thunder at Great Black Heaven, shaking the universe: "Since Your Excellency is a fourth-stage transformed Demon Saint, I wonder if you can withstand this punch of Qin Mou!"

In short, there was no more nonsense.

The flaming fist shadow crashed down with a boom! One punch launched, it was as if primordial universes were being born and destroyed endlessly before one's eyes.

The giant flaming blood-colored fist crossed the distance from sky to earth, resembling a heaven-toppling strike falling from the galaxy.

Viewed from afar.

The three-hundred-plus-zhang blood-colored demonic ape seemed to have entirely merged into that ball of firelight.

A scorching meteor sliced through the sky curtain, and a terrifying aura was released with a boom!

Even the Great Black Heaven Demon Saint changed color in shock under such momentum!

He circulated all his demon power to resist.

Boom! An instant later, one could no longer see what was happening within the Blood Refinement World.

Only red light swallowed everything.

The nearby mountain ranges were enveloped by the fist shadow; countless tall peaks were instantly smashed into powder.

A black figure was blasted flying, scattering a shower of blood rain in mid-air.

An exaggerated shockwave swept through, blowing away everything within a hundred li.

The crimson flame fist shadow swept away all; wherever it passed, countless mountains and rivers collapsed and perished.

Bang! Rumble! Half of Great Black Heaven the Demon Saint's body was blown apart by a single punch, his eyes revealing disbelief.

He, a dignified transformed great demon, was actually being crushed by a human cultivator in terms of physical strength? Yet, as a transformed great demon, he was not to be trifled with either.

As demon qi surged over Great Black Heaven's body, within the wounds of his struck form, countless black worms seemed to wriggle back and forth, and subsequently, at a speed visible to the naked eye, he recovered.

He discarded his previous underestimation; the human cultivator before him possessed extremely bizarre divine abilities, bore heavy treasures and inheritances, and employed an endless stream of ever-changing tactics.

Even he had nearly capsized in a shallow ditch, suffering severe injuries from a moment's carelessness.

On the brink of death.

Great Black Heaven let out a frenzied roar and unleashed his innate great technique; the nearby void split apart as if sliced by a hurricane.

A strike that splits the sky! Just as the light from the pitch-black fissure was about to reach Qin Ming.

Boom—boom—boom! Yet right at that moment.

A far more powerful demonic force descended! Four enormous silver fox tails swept across, carrying unimaginable tremendous power, scattering and annihilating countless wind blades with an overwhelming, unstoppable momentum.

Struck by the massive fox tail, Great Black Heaven spewed a mouthful of demonic blood, his figure tumbling backward through the air for an extreme distance; instantly, his aura turned listless and despondent, his appearance utterly wretched.

Fear filled his face as he shrieked at the newcomer, "Silver Moon Demon Saint, have you forgotten the pact among the demon races, that you would make a move against this seat?"

"If others learn that you are aiding the human race, just think carefully about the consequences!"

Yue Lingyan's gaze was utterly calm as she said without a shred of mercy, "The dead keep secrets best; once you are dead, who else will know?"

"Furthermore, our account has not yet been settled! Last time you narrowly escaped with your life; do you think you can escape again this time?"

Immediately, she lifted her fox head, and above it, a terrifying demonic force began to converge.

In the sky, a silver, bright moon suddenly appeared, erupting with world-destroying, heaven-shattering might.

A silver beam of light fell straight onto the body of Great Black Heaven Demon Saint.

Though both were newly advanced Formed-Shape Demon Saints, their divine abilities and methods were clearly not on the same level.

Accompanied by a miserable howl, the black demonic bird's body began to shatter, its life force severed in an instant.

In a flash.

A wisp of demonic soul flew out from Great Black Heaven's corpse, employing a teleportation technique in an attempt to flee.

Yet all they saw was a Bai Yu bracelet flying out from Yue Lingyan, bursting forth with a radiance of white demonic light, which in an instant pinned Great Black Heaven Demon Saint's demonic soul in place.

Subsequently, the Bai Yu ring completely and tightly bound it, yanking it back.

From Yue Lingyan's appearance to the slaying of Great Black Heaven Demon Saint, though it seemed but a brief instant, she had in fact expended her utmost divine abilities and methods.

Seeing her intervene at the critical moment, Qin Ming knew the overall situation was already decided.

He immediately withdrew his own divine abilities and flew down, landing before Yue Lingyan.
