Chapter 774: Fierce Struggle

Watching the chains that filled the sky and lunged toward him, Lingyun's expression remained unchanged; he brought his fingers together to form a sword and slashed forward. Endless Sword Qi erupted from his hand, tearing every chain in front of him to shreds.

As Lingyun's Sword Qi shattered the chains, the Demon God's speed suddenly increased. With a single step, it appeared instantly before Lingyun, its massive fist wrapped in a fierce gale as it smashed toward Lingyun's face.

Lingyun clenched his right fist, starlike points of light gathering within it, and then threw a punch of his own to meet the Demon God's fist.

The two fists, one large and one small, collided, instantly erupting with terrifying force. The sweeping gale caused ripples to spread across the River of Fate.

"Crack—"

A Light Wheel suddenly appeared behind the Demon God, carved with countless Magic Runes. The moment this Light Wheel appeared, countless rays of light shot out from it, blasting toward Lingyun.

"Sword, come!" Lingyun forced the Demon God back with a punch while simultaneously slashing his right hand forward.

At the sound of a sword hum, six streaks of light suddenly flashed in the distance, appearing before Lingyun in an instant and shattering all the light attacking him. The Six Sacred Swords appeared simultaneously by Lingyun's side, their tips pointed in unison at the Demon God.

The Demon God's gaze turned toward the six Long swords beside Lingyun, a hint of wariness appearing in its eyes. Although it did not know what these Six Sacred Swords were, its intuition told it that these six swords were very troublesome existences.

Lingyun naturally saw the Demon God's wariness toward the Six Sacred Swords, but he was not surprised; after all, these Six Sacred Swords were forged using a special method, and in a sense, these six swords were the embodiment of the six laws of this world.

"Woo—" The pocket-sized dragon hiding behind Lingyun let out a hiss, seemingly complaining to Lingyun about how this Demon God had abused it.

Lingyun also knew that this Demon God had devoured the vast majority of the dragon's power, having almost become the most powerful existence in the River of Fate. If he wanted the pocket-sized dragon behind him to return to its original form, he had to strip the Fate it had devoured from the Demon God's body.

"Sword, rise!" Thinking of this, Lingyun formed a sword seal with his hands, and the Six Sacred Swords beside him let out a clanging hum in unison, turning into streaks of light as they lunged toward the Demon God.

Watching the Sacred Swords attacking it, the Demon God let out a roar, and the chains on its body extended frantically, weaving into a large net that swept toward the Sacred Swords. At the same time, the Light Wheel behind it flickered, firing off successive beams of light containing powerful destructive force.

Lingyun shifted his sword seals, and the Six Sacred Swords danced rapidly in mid-air, erupting with countless Sword Qi to hack apart the beams of light fired by the Light Wheel. Simultaneously, eight Light Wheels suspended above the River of Fate began to dance, continuously cutting at the net formed by the chains.

Seeing its offensive broken, a flash of anger crossed the Demon God's eyes; it grabbed the Light Wheel behind it with one hand and flung it toward Lingyun.

Watching the Light Wheel hurtling toward him, a look of gravity appeared on Lingyun's face as well; this Light Wheel contained the majority of the Demon God's power, and if he did not handle it carefully, he might be injured.

Lingyun extended a hand, and a Medal appeared before him, then transformed into a massive Light Shield. Six-colored light swirled across the Light Shield, and countless Divine Runes could be faintly seen engraved upon it.

The Light Wheel and the Light Shield collided. Lingyun's expression shifted slightly as he braced the Light Shield with both hands, pouring vast Source Power into it. However, the powerful force on the Light Wheel still made him retreat repeatedly, and he did not dissipate his momentum until he had taken seven steps back. Lingyun then shook his hands, and the Light Shield jolted violently, rebounding the Light Wheel away.

"What powerful force." Lingyun exhaled softly, moving his slightly numb hands. "But my goal has been achieved!"

The Six Sacred Swords had already quietly closed in on the Demon God. Under Lingyun's urging, the Six Sacred Swords hummed in unison, and countless Sword Qi erupted from them, blasting toward the Demon God's body. At the same time, Lingyun stomped his right foot on the ground, his figure instantly turning into an afterimage as he darted toward the Demon God.

The Demon God hissed, and a layer of Dragon Scale actually emerged on its body. The Sacred Sword Qi slammed into the Dragon Scale, splashing ripples, but it could not break through.

Just as the Demon God felt triumphant, Lingyun's figure appeared before it. He extended a hand, and the Six Sacred Swords instantly converged in his grip, transforming into a Long sword carrying a terrifying aura of destruction. Lingyun raised the sword and slashed heavily against the Dragon Scale.

"Crack, crack—"

The Dragon Scale, which had not even been marked by the Sacred Sword Qi a moment ago, was actually split open with a massive gash under this single strike. Immediately following, Lingyun twisted his hand, and the Long sword in his grip transformed back into the Six Sacred Swords, piercing through the Demon God's body along the gash.

The Demon God let out a pained roar; from the wounds torn open by the Sacred Swords on its body, wisps of golden light spilled out. These rays of light were clearly the Fate of the dragon that it had devoured but had not yet had time to digest.

Lingyun stepped forward again, his palms gathering terrifying power, and slammed them heavily onto the wound on the Demon God's body along the gash in the Dragon Scale.

"Haokong Cloud Breaking Collapse!"

Under Lingyun's full-force strike, countless cracks appeared on the Demon God's body, and the golden light within it seemed to sense an opportunity and began to stir.

The Demon God was alarmed; the chains on its body twisted suddenly, lashing toward Lingyun's body. The Light Wheel that had been knocked away by Lingyun also swept back at this moment, with the clear intent of cutting Lingyun in half.

"Precept Chains!"

Complex Arrays suddenly appeared around Lingyun, and chains shot out from the Arrays. Before the Demon God could react, its body was bound by the Precept Chains, leaving it unable to move. At the same time, another portion of the Precept Chains wove around Lingyun's body, forming a defensive net.

The chains on the Demon God's body slammed into this defensive net, unable to shake it in the slightest. The returning Light Wheel crashed into the defensive net, causing it to cave in with a large dent and making the entire net vibrate, but it could not break through the line of defense.

"Come out!"

Lingyun waved his hands, and the Six Sacred Swords whistled back, piercing the Demon God's body once more and tearing six more openings in it. At this moment, a massive black Array suddenly appeared on the Demon God's body; it was this Array that had been binding the golden light within it.

Seeing this Array, Lingyun narrowed his eyes. Starlike points of golden light rose from his body, and six pairs of wings formed of light slowly emerged behind him.

"Purification Light!"

A torrential stream of light erupted from Lingyun's body, submerging the Demon God's form in an instant while illuminating the entire River of Fate.
