Chapter 421 - 133: The Blade Named Demon Slayer—Lin Chen’s Ultimate Strike!
The black light shot into the sky, making even the sky of the Endless Sea Domain seem three times more oppressive.
Immediately after, it slashed towards Demon Monarch Huiyue at an even faster speed.
Demon Monarch Huiyue was stunned for a moment.
A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dared to strike at him, a True Monarch of Divinity Transformation in the late period?
Demon Monarch Huiyue laughed, neither blocking nor fleeing.
He was confident that his Protective True Essence was enough to withstand this strike.
He merely manipulated his True Essence to surge towards Lin Chen.
After delivering this slash, Lin Chen, without a second thought, pushed his speed to the limit, trying to dodge.
But he couldn’t escape...
It was too fast, the killing intent and mental realm’s lock-on left Lin Chen with no escape.
Even Bullet Time couldn’t help Lin Chen dodge.
In this critical moment, Lin Chen instead calmed down.
He concentrated and gazed at the crimson True Essence light sphere before him.
When the light sphere was less than a zhang away, Lin Chen’s skin began to prick with pain.
Yet the light sphere suddenly froze in place.
Time Freeze!
At the same time, Lin Chen’s stamina rapidly depleted, consuming nearly half in less than half a second.
This was a power bestowed by the Candle Dragon Martial Spirit after Lin Chen ascended to Martial Monarch.
Time Freeze!
Initially, Lin Chen couldn’t grasp it at all.
His stamina would be instantly drained, causing him to faint for several days...
But now at a high-level Martial King, Lin Chen finally had the authority to use this power.
Even if it’s just a half-second time freeze with a range of only one zhang around him, it leaves Lin Chen almost exhausted.
Fortunately, it was enough!
Half a second later, Lin Chen appeared a thousand zhang away, watching the True Essence light sphere plunge into the seawater, causing a tsunami-like terrifying wave.
A drop of cold sweat dripped from Lin Chen’s forehead, thankful he had dodged it.
Otherwise, with his Protective True Essence, he wouldn’t have been able to block that strike.
The True Monarch of Divinity Transformation, terrifying indeed...
Meanwhile, Demon Monarch Huiyue, a thousand zhang away, was stunned again.
"What just happened?"
Demon Monarch Huiyue didn’t have time to think, his eyes suddenly filled with more surprise, even a touch of fear.
He saw his Protective True Essence being sliced open by the Black Blade like tofu.
Then, the Black Blade slashed at the junction of his chest and shoulder.
Blood dripped from the hem of his clothes into the sea below.
Attracting numerous sea demons to vie for it.
Demon Monarch Huiyue was injured!
He reached out, touching the redness on his chest.
After being blocked by the Protective True Essence, the Demon-slaying Blade expended nearly ninety percent of its power.
Yet it still sliced three inches beneath his skin, leaving a severely deep wound.
But...
But how could this be?
He, a Great Cultivator in the late period of Divinity Transformation, was injured by a mere mid-Nascent Soul kid...
Even in the Human Realm, where his True Essence was heavily suppressed by the Celestial Dao...
This was simply impossible...
Saying it out loud would be the laughingstock of countless people.
But Lin Chen showed him the reality.
The mortal he dismissed, unexpectedly, could injure him.
This blade, named the Demon-slaying Flying Blade.
Lin Chen could proudly say it was his self-created flying knife ultimate technique.
It was comprehended by observing the formation of the Nine Revolutions Golden Core.
Later, with guidance from Elder Long, True Man Changchun, and others, he had long transcended the realm of techniques in using, manipulating, and compressing True Essence.
It’s not an exaggeration to call it a Divine Technique!
Moreover, Lin Chen had infused his intent into this blade.
He infused the Heaven and Earth Intent Realm!
At that moment, Lin Chen’s heart harbored only the determination to move forward, further enhancing the power of the Demon-slaying Flying Blade.
With all these factors, it became Lin Chen’s strongest blade so far.
This blade...
Could threaten the life of a True Monarch of Divinity Transformation!
After injuring Demon Monarch Huiyue, the Demon-slaying Blade arced through the air and returned to the gourd behind Lin Chen.
Demon Monarch Huiyue’s originally calm expression grew increasingly furious.
"Unforgivable!"
Demon Monarch Huiyue roared, the surging True Essence once again surged towards Lin Chen, more terrifying than before.
This time, Lin Chen really couldn’t dodge.
Yet, in this critical moment...
A peach blossom fell in the air, blocking the strike.
Elder Taoyao had arrived!
Soon after, more and more peach blossoms surged in from all directions.
Layer upon layer, covering, ultimately transforming into a giant pink cocoon.
This Peach Blossom Insect Cocoon trapped Demon Monarch Huiyue within.
At the same time, Elder Taoyao’s voice transmitted into Lin Chen’s mind.
"Kid, your time is up, don’t blame this old man for being unkind..."
"This technique is my innate divine technique. I can’t determine how long I can trap him."
"You should escape now, as far as you can, I can’t help you anymore..."
Lin Chen could tell Elder Taoyao’s voice carried weariness.
It seemed he was also heavily injured in the battle with Demon Monarch Huiyue.
Lin Chen remained silent, then bowed to Elder Taoyao.
"True Monarch Taoyao, I consider your three requests fulfilled."
"For the last wish, may your path be smooth, Senior..."
"Senior, you are a noble demon..."
Having said that, Lin Chen, without another thought, fled deeper into the Endless Sea Domain.
He dared not flee towards Qing State but only dared to run towards the Endless Sea Domain.
Even though the Endless Sea Domain was extremely dangerous.
Lin Chen still had a glimmer of survival hope.
Watching Lin Chen’s figure growing distant, Elder Taoyao sighed.
"Alas, what a situation this is..."
"Had I known, it would’ve been better not to accept this seal. Better to be a carefree Peach Demon in Peach Blossom Valley..."
Elder Taoyao frowned slightly, sensing the fluctuations within the Peach Blossom Insect Cocoon.
His hands stretched out, channeling more True Essence into it, preventing Demon Monarch Huiyue from escaping.
...
The boundless Endless Sea Domain.
The sky was gloomy.
Overhead stretched endless dark clouds, and on the sea surface, gusting winds were everywhere.
Storms and tsunamis occurred every moment...
Here, sunlight was rarely seen.
Lin Chen didn’t know how long he had flown.
It seemed like it had been several hundred breaths.
At this moment, Lin Chen’s situation was extremely dire.
Although uninjured, the Power of Time had drained most of Lin Chen’s potential.
Adding to the continuous battles with Blood Pupil Old Demon and Demon Monarch Huiyue, Lin Chen’s True Essence was severely depleted.
Lin Chen was now in an extremely poor state, still maintaining the Nascent Soul True Self state.
After flying at full speed for several hundred breaths, Lin Chen finally began to falter.
He ended the Nascent Soul True Self, his Divine Soul returning to his flesh body...
The endless exhaustion swept over him.
Yet... Lin Chen still dared not stop.
Even having escaped several hundred breaths, if Demon Monarch Huiyue intended to chase, perhaps it would only take him tens of breaths to catch up.
Lin Chen retrieved the severed palm of Blood Pupil Old Demon.
On that severed palm was a Storage Ring.
Lin Chen didn’t have time to search its contents, hastily destroying any treasures or resources that might be tracked.
Then fled deeper into the Endless Sea Domain once again.
Unknown how much time passed...
Lin Chen suddenly felt very tired, the sounds around him gradually diminished, finally disappearing.
His sense of smell and Divine Sense seemed to vanish in an instant.
Finally, Lin Chen’s vision darkened, and his sight gradually faded away.
Lin Chen could no longer sense the existence of heaven and earth...
All five senses were lost!
Like a meteor, Lin Chen fell from the sky, crashing into the boundless, deep sea.
Lin Chen was entirely unaware of his fall into the sea.
His breathing became increasingly rapid, consciousness gradually fading...
Sinking deeper into the ocean currents.
However, just at this moment.
A ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining upon the sea.
The sky lightened!
And today was the day Lin Chen was to return to Blue Star...
