Chapter 526: Thousand Leaf Hand

After the first four veins of the Eight Extremes Demon Veins were activated, Zhang Nuo's entire body was filled with power. This was the first time he had opened all four veins since successfully cultivating them. Feeling the changes in his body, he suddenly let out a long howl!

Seeing this from the opposite side, Yin He's pair of fish eyes revealed an expression of disbelief! He had never encountered this kind of cultivation technique before; it instantly raised a cultivator's cultivation base by two minor realms!

Below, Deng Tianlin, who was currently trading blows with Jin E, swept his Divine Sense toward the sky and also discovered Zhang Nuo's change! He secretly marveled to himself; it seemed Zhang Nuo hadn't been boasting earlier. After the Eight Extremes Demon Veins were opened, his cultivation base had indeed risen to the late stage of the Spirit Severing realm!

Despite this, he still felt some worry! Was a cultivation base raised by a technique truly useful? Yin He was, after all, a Nine-Tier demonic beast. Although its intelligence had not been fully awakened, its strength was undeniable!

However, Deng Tianlin's worry quickly vanished, because Zhang Nuo's figure flickered as he launched an attack! With his four wings flapping in unison behind him, with a 'swish', Zhang Nuo vanished from where he stood!

Before Yin He could even react, Zhang Nuo appeared at his back! He kicked out rapidly, his leg wrapped in layers of Demonic Qi, the momentum extremely terrifying!

Yin He felt the malicious wind behind him; his body lunged forward in a rush, and at the same time, the trident in his hand swept toward his rear!

"Clang!"

Zhang Nuo's leg and the trident collided heavily. Somewhat unexpectedly, a metallic sound rang out between Zhang Nuo's body and the Magic Treasure!

"A Body Cultivator!"

In his panic, Yin He blurted out a shout. Previously, Zhang Nuo had been using Magic Treasures to attack, so he had assumed this person was a Dharma Cultivator. He hadn't expected that after activating some kind of secret technique, he would actually turn into a Body Cultivator!

Before Yin He could react, Zhang Nuo moved his Divine Sense. One of the fire wings behind him flickered several times, transforming into a giant fire hand about a zhang long, which grabbed toward the top of Yin He's head!

Seeing it was fire, Yin He didn't even dare to entertain the thought of taking it head-on; his figure flashed and he escaped far away! The giant fire hand missed its target and transformed back into the shape of a fire wing. Zhang Nuo felt a bit of regret in his heart!

If he could have used the Thunder Escape Technique just now, he could have struck Yin He while he hadn't yet recovered his wits! But Purple Lightning Wild Thunder naturally had a restraining effect on Demonic Qi; once released, it would certainly affect the Eight Extremes Demon Veins!

Despite this, the two attacks just now still left Yin He terrified! Just as his figure stood steady, Zhang Nuo's second wave of attacks arrived! A series of booms echoed in the sky. Zhang Nuo was familiarizing himself with his body after opening the four veins while outputting the Demonic Qi within his body at high speed and in large quantities!

With every movement of his body, a long trail of Demonic Qi appeared behind him. This was not flowing out from his body, but rather the surrounding Demonic Qi continuing to gather toward his body!

The speed at which the four veins gathered Demonic Qi when fully opened was much faster than opening a single vein, so no matter how Zhang Nuo squandered it, the Demonic Qi almost never ran out!

After several rounds of attacks, Yin He was so angry he was roaring. Zhang Nuo's speed was too fast, flashing left and right, making him impossible to defend against! Several times, he was almost struck!

The speed boost from the two pairs of wings, combined with the power of the Magic Meridians! At this moment, Zhang Nuo was like an illusory figure, able to appear rapidly in any position! Truly like a ghost!

Although Yin He's cultivation base was not weak, he was still far inferior in terms of speed. In his desperation, Yin He finally could not hold back any longer! His body rushed rapidly into the high sky, one hand formed a Dharma seal, and then he opened his fish mouth wide! A stream of clear water gushed out!

"Whoosh!"

In the blink of an eye, a wide river appeared in the sky above where he and Zhang Nuo were battling! This river hung in mid-air, neither falling nor flowing, a full hundred zhang long and several tens of zhang wide!

The surface of the river shimmered under the sunlight, and a not-insignificant wave of Spirit Power surged from the water; one could even occasionally see small fish swimming inside!

Zhang Nuo looked at the river beneath his feet in astonishment, his heart extremely shocked! He hadn't expected Yin He's belly to hold so much water. Looking at the state of the water, it must have been refined over a long period! In other words, this might be a Magic Treasure of the demon cultivator!

"Brat! You are fast, but I wonder if you can escape the attack of my water!"

Finally catching his breath, Yin He muttered with his fish lips in disdain!

Zhang Nuo's gaze had never left the water surface; he truly couldn't guess how much Spirit Power such a large river would cost Yin He! But soon, he had no time to think about this. He saw that after Yin He let out a roar, the river below seemed to come alive; the water surged, and a monstrous wave slapped toward Zhang Nuo! He flicked his sleeves, and a sheet of Demonic Qi rushed toward the wave in a fan shape!

Swish! After a soft sound, the Demonic Qi passed directly through the water wave, while the wave remained completely unaffected; the parts scattered by the Demonic Qi quickly returned to their original state! Despite this, Zhang Nuo did not dare to use his body to resist the wave; his four wings moved in unison and he vanished from where he stood! But just as his figure appeared not far away, another wave rolled over, its speed even faster than the previous one!

Forced into a corner, Zhang Nuo waved his hands repeatedly, and fist shadows struck the water wave!

Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions scattered the water wave! But at this moment, a small fish mixed in the water leaped high, its body growing larger in mid-air until it was a full zhang long, opening a fish mouth full of sharp teeth to bite down on Zhang Nuo!

This sudden turn of events caught Zhang Nuo off guard! He hadn't expected there to be a hidden mystery in the water! His figure flickered, gray rays of light rolled out, transforming into the phantom of the Underworld King, which raised its hand and grabbed the falling big fish!

As the phantom's ten fingers exerted force, with a 'rip', the big fish was torn alive into two halves, blood flowing down the body of the Underworld King phantom! At this time, Demonic Qi continued to surge from Zhang Nuo's body! The blood and Demonic Qi combined to make the entire Underworld King phantom appear even more eerie!

Seeing the big fish killed, Yin He let out a roar, his body lightly stepping on the water surface; instantly, the entire water surface seemed to boil! Countless water waves wrapped toward Zhang Nuo!

No matter how Zhang Nuo tried to escape, water waves would always appear at his landing point! At the same time, Yin He threw the trident in his hand into the river, and it vanished in the blink of an eye!

Zhang Nuo didn't notice this at all. Just as he was putting his full effort into resisting a wave in front of him, a cold light suddenly flashed from the middle of the wave, stabbing straight toward his brow!

With his expression changing drastically, Zhang Nuo retreated rapidly. At the same time, the Underworld King phantom above his head grabbed upward with both hands, directly shattering the void. A surge of Yin Qi flickered within, rapidly condensing into a vortex of Yin Qi. From the center of the pitch-black vortex, ten thousand black rays shot out! These black rays were like sunlight, wrapping around most of the space around Zhang Nuo's body!

The cold light that rushed out from the water wave was precisely Yin He's trident. The moment the rapidly advancing Magic Treasure was covered by the 'Falling Profound Light', its speed plummeted!

Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Nuo lunged forward, grabbing the trident directly in his hand. The two fire wings behind him rolled back rapidly, instantly wrapping the trident inside!

Only the sound of 'squeaking' could be heard incessantly. Two breaths later, when the flames were retracted, the trident had no spiritual light left, looking just like an ordinary fork!

"Return my Magic Treasure!"

Yin He acted as if his tail had been stepped on, lunging toward Zhang Nuo with a long howl! A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Zhang Nuo's mouth; he exerted force with both hands, splitting the trident, which had lost all its Spirit Power, into two!

"Crack!"

With this crisp sound, the trident was completely destroyed by Zhang Nuo! Yin He felt a sharp pain in his heart, his eyes almost spitting fire! He lunged toward Zhang Nuo regardless of his own safety!

Seeing the opponent had lost his reason, Zhang Nuo was overjoyed. With his four wings flapping in unison, he rushed up to meet Yin He! The two met with extreme speed! Only then did Yin He's mind clear up; he wasn't primarily a Body Cultivator, so even if he rushed up, the damage to Zhang Nuo wouldn't be too great!

By the time he realized this, it was already too late! Zhang Nuo let out a low shout! The surface wrapped in layers of Demonic Qi suddenly emitted a layer of faint black water vapor!

Following that, Zhang Nuo quickly separated his two hands to the left and right, drawing a semicircle in front of him! Instantly, dozens of palms appeared from his body! Looking from afar, he was like a Thousand-Hand Guanyin!

Boom...!

These palms formed by Demonic Qi simultaneously clenched into fists, smashing wildly toward Yin He! On the other side, the two large hands of the Underworld King phantom performed a pincer movement, sealing off Yin He's retreat!

Those countless Demonic Qi fists fell upon Yin He like raindrops! Booming sounds rang out continuously, and the surrounding void trembled, as if unable to withstand the force of this attack, ready to shatter at any moment!

This move was the 'Thousand Leaf Hand' that could be unleashed by the fourth layer of the Eight Extremes Demon Veins, the Du Vein!

The dense attacks were already impossible to see clearly; they were like streaks of rapidly lashing Demonic Qi, striking Yin He's body incessantly!

When the 'Thousand Leaf Hand' ended, one could see that only Yin He's head and limbs remained; his body had long been beaten into countless powder, drifting in the wind in mid-air!

Until this moment, Yin He hadn't felt a shred of pain, because the speed of those demonic hands was too fast; there was simply no time to feel the pain!

He looked down at his own horrific body and spat out a final bubble.

Boom!

One of the Underworld King phantom's large hands slapped heavily onto his fish head! Ending his life!
