Chapter 437
Above the Broken Soul Mountain Range, demonic energy like ink blocked the sky and the sun.
Kill Kun Peng took a step forward, and the space collapsed accordingly.
The True Martial Great Emperor's dharma body stood on the firmament, nine-colored divine light flowing on the dark armor, the Demon-Quelling Sword lying in front of him.
Before the two forces truly collided, the remaining demon groups in the Broken Soul Mountain Range had already been pressed to the ground.
The collision of two Semi-Sages was no different from the arrival of the end of the world for these demon races.
Kill Kun Peng raised his hand, a giant hand condensed in the sky, spatial laws flowing in the palm, five fingers like a prison, directly grabbing toward the True Martial dharma body.
The True Martial Great Emperor swung his sword, Demon-Quelling sword intent soared into the sky, frost-white sword light slashing toward that giant hand.
Boom!
The sword light exploded, the giant hand only paused for an instant, then continued to press down.
The tortoise and snake phantoms beneath the True Martial dharma body raised their heads, Heaven-Suppressing divine power surged out, colliding head-on with that giant hand.
The next moment, the tortoise and snake phantoms emitted a wail simultaneously.
The True Martial dharma body retreated half a step, and behind his dharma body, the void cracked for a thousand li.
"True Martial, you have guarded North Beiju Luzhou for many years, you do have some ability."
Kill Kun Peng stood with his hands behind his back, his voice flat.
"Unfortunately, you are ultimately only at the Great Luo realm; even if you use the power of the Heavenly Court's divine path and the Heavenly Dao order to give you Semi-Sage power, it is not enough to look at in front of this seat. If you retreat now, this seat can spare your life."
The True Martial Great Emperor did not respond; he gripped the sword hilt with both hands, the Great Luo Dao fruit within his body began to beat, and the massive True Martial dharma body, with the help of the Heavenly Court's divine path and the power of the Heavenly Dao order, rose another level, reaching the Semi-Sage level.
The dharma body's cracks were filled by the divine path power, and the Demon-Quelling Sword lit up again.
"This Emperor will only ask one thing."
The True Martial Great Emperor looked up, "Is the blood array in the Broken Soul Mountain Range intended to trigger the earth veins set up by you?"
Kill Kun Peng laughed.
"So what if it is?"
"That is enough."
The True Martial Great Emperor took a step forward, the dharma body suddenly rose, and the Demon-Quelling Sword slashed out a second sword.
This sword had no extra changes.
The sword light fell from the firmament, aiming straight at Kill Kun Peng's brow.
Kill Kun Peng did not dodge; he raised his right hand, and two fingers actually steadily clamped the sword light.
The frost-white sword light trembled between his fingers, the sword intent constantly cutting the space, yet it could never advance another half-inch.
Kill Kun Peng's fingers folded.
Crack.
The sword light broke.
A deep mark cracked open on the True Martial dharma body's chest, the crack spreading from his shoulder to his waist and abdomen, nine-colored divine light spraying out from the rift.
In the Broken Soul Mountain Range, those demon kings who had originally thought that the True Martial descent could end everything now all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the sky again.
This was Demon Master Kill Kun Peng, a supreme figure who had achieved Semi-Sage status since the ancient Primordial era.
The True Martial Great Emperor stabilized his dharma body, the Demon-Quelling Sword hanging down; although he was no match for Kill Kun Peng, his eyes remained calm, and he saw a trace of something wrong from Kill Kun Peng's attack.
Kill Kun Peng's strike was indeed very strong, but not ruthless enough.
With the power of a Semi-Sage peak powerhouse, if he really wanted to destroy his dharma body, that strike just now would have shattered his divine path foundation.
But Kill Kun Peng did not; that strike seemed powerful, but had no follow-up, as if it were just creating momentum.
The True Martial Great Emperor was certain that Kill Kun Peng had held back.
The True Martial Great Emperor's eyes were solemn as he looked at Kill Kun Peng.
"You are delaying time; what exactly do you want to do?"
Kill Kun Peng's gaze paused upon hearing this, and then, he wore a smile.
"Nothing, just haven't taken action for too long, wanted to play a bit more."
He looked up at the nine heavens, where several rays of Heavenly Court divine light had already faintly emerged.
North Beiju Luzhou had been stirred up to this point; it was impossible for the Heavenly Court to have no reaction.
"It seems the Heavenly Court's reinforcements are arriving soon, so let's end it."
Kill Kun Peng raised his hand, and the massive demonic energy, pitch-black as ink, transformed into a boundless sea tide, sweeping toward the True Martial dharma body.
"True Martial, hope you can let this seat have fun next time we meet!"
The True Martial Great Emperor spoke coldly: "Kill Kun Peng, you intend to overturn North Beiju Luzhou and destroy the order of the Three Realms; the Heavenly Court will not let you go."
"Heavenly Court?" Kill Kun Peng sneered, "Just a bunch of guys who stole the fruits of victory from the Lich War."
While speaking, the ink-colored sea tide pressed down, and the Demon-Quelling sword intent shattered inch by inch.
More and more cracks appeared on the surface of the True Martial dharma body, the nine-colored divine light was swallowed by the demonic energy, and the massive dharma body swayed precariously above the firmament.
But he still did not retreat, the Demon-Quelling Sword lying in front of him, blocking that ink-colored demonic sea to the death.
Below the Broken Soul Mountain Range, all the demon races saw this scene.
That Demon-Quelling Patriarch who had guarded North Beiju Luzhou for countless years was pressed by Kill Kun Peng to the point of being almost unable to fight back.
But he did not retreat a single step; in the distant void, Su Chen had already left North Beiju Luzhou.
The Chaos Bell covered his aura, and his figure sped through the spatial channel.
A moment later, at the end of the spatial channel, the light dissipated.
Su Chen took a step and arrived at the edge of the Three Realms.
There were no mountains or rivers here, no sun or moon, only a gray void.
Ahead, an invisible barrier spanned the end of heaven and earth.
The light curtain seemed invisible, yet endless Heavenly Dao laws flowed within it.
Each law was like a chain, intertwining with each other, sealing the channel between the Three Realms and the land beyond the domain.
This was the world barrier.
Within the Three Realms, immortals and gods could use arrays, techniques, and divine abilities to shuttle through space.
But to leave the Three Realms and enter beyond the domain, one had to face this barrier.
This barrier was the barrier of the Heavenly Dao protecting the Three Realms, and it could not be broken without Semi-Sage power.
Moreover, wanting to destroy it would inevitably cause a great commotion, easily detected by the great powers within the Three Realms.
Even if a Great Luo Golden Immortal forcibly rammed into it, they would be countered by the Heavenly Dao laws; light would result in Dao fruit damage, heavy would result in death and dissipation.
Su Chen stood before the world barrier and raised his hand to press on it, and a repulsive force came.
As soon as the Hunyuan magic power touched the barrier, it was entangled by countless law chains, making it difficult to cause damage.
Su Chen withdrew his hand, his brows raising slightly.
"No wonder Kill Kun Peng had to pay such a high price to cover his tracks."
One could not go to the land beyond the domain just because one wanted to; Kill Kun Peng's true body could leave the Three Realms silently, so he must have made preparations in advance.
And Su Chen did not have time to make preparations slowly; on the Broken Soul Mountain Range side, Kill Kun Peng holding back True Martial would also hold back the Heavenly Court.
But this situation would not last long; once a group of Heavenly Court great powers descended, Kill Kun Peng would inevitably withdraw.
By then, what Kill Kun Peng's true body needed to do would probably be finished.
Su Chen exhaled, the Hunyuan Dao fruit within his body began to operate, the Hunyuan magic power circulated, transforming into a power that encompassed all Daos.
Subsequently, he urged the 'Chaos Nine Turns'.
Three hundred and sixty-five major apertures around his body vibrated simultaneously, and within each aperture, a miniature inner heaven and earth opened and closed, Chaos Qi surged out, and the spine dragon was like an ancient heavenly pillar, emitting a dull pulsation.
Every pulsation caused Su Chen's physical aura to surge by a notch.
Chaos blood surged within his body, his physical strength fully recovered, and the physical strength of a mid-stage Semi-Sage was revealed without doubt.
At the same time, mysterious yellow light lit up at the center of Su Chen's brow, and an ancient bell slowly emerged.
On the bell body, the sun, moon, and stars flowed, earth, water, fire, and wind floated, and once the Chaos Bell appeared, the entire gray void instantly stabilized.
The Heavenly Dao laws within the world barrier seemed to sense the aura of an Innate Supreme Treasure, the light curtain suddenly lit up, and countless law chains wandered wildly.
Su Chen urged the Chaos Bell, preparing to use the power of the Innate Supreme Treasure to open a channel on the world barrier.
"Open." Su Chen shouted softly.
The Chaos Bell vibrated slightly.
"Dong!"
The bell rang, the world barrier ahead trembled violently, and the Heavenly Dao laws flowing within it were fixed by the bell sound for an instant.
It was this instant that Su Chen took action, the Return to Ruins Divine Axe falling into his palm, Hunyuan magic power poured into the axe blade.
The Opening Heaven True Intent he had realized appeared.
One axe slashed out, and a rift appeared on the world barrier of the Three Realms.
The rift was not large, but it was enough for Su Chen to get out.
Violent beyond-the-domain gale poured in from the rift, rolling toward Su Chen.
The gale was like a knife, carrying incomplete laws, scraping on Su Chen's body, emitting ear-piercing sounds.
But it was completely annihilated before his powerful physical body, unable to cause him any influence.
Su Chen's eyes emitted Chaos Divine Light, his Dharma Eye opened, looking outside that rift.
He saw that on the other side of the rift was a chaotic void, broken continents floating, star remains rotating, and void storms rolling in the distance.
That was the land beyond the domain.
Su Chen did not hesitate, leaping into the rift.
