Chapter 597: Exterminating the Heavenly Demon from Beyond the Realm

The Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm was greatly shocked. His mountain, manifested from Demonic Qi, could be considered a Magic Treasure of no small power; he never expected it to actually catch fire under the attack of a firebird! With a shift of his Divine Sense, a massive amount of azure spring water surged from the black mountain, extinguishing the flames in one go!

Zhang Nuo merely raised an eyebrow. After the Red Glow Fire and the Phoenix Bloodline fused into a fire spirit, becoming his fire spirit root, the flames had undergone some changes; he had not expected the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm to still have a way to extinguish them!

He pointed a finger at the black mountain in the void, and in an instant, the Ten Thousand Swords Flow Array converged into three torrents, all of which flashed toward the black mountain!

Boom!

Successive explosions rang out continuously. The Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm did not deliberately try to stop these torrents of Flying Swords from striking the mountain! One could see that most of the mountain shattered into pieces under this strike! However, after a mass of black energy flashed, the mountain returned to its original state! It was as if it had not been attacked at all!

Zhang Nuo gasped. The power of that strike just now was immense; even a Magic Treasure would likely have been destroyed long ago!

"Hehe! If you have any other means, bring them out quickly, otherwise this deity is going to strike!"

The Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm sneered, not taking Zhang Nuo seriously at all!

Zhang Nuo did not answer. He waved both sleeves simultaneously, and instantly, a gale rose around his body. Wind Blades that tore through the void slashed toward the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm!

Although this demon was arrogant, he did not dare to take this strike with his body. He immediately used his Divine Sense to urge the giant black mountain above his head to smash down toward those Wind Blades!

A sound like a knife slicing an apple rang out. The black mountain was slashed by the Wind Blades, losing a large portion of itself, but just like last time, as the black energy flashed, the mountain returned to its original appearance and smashed toward Zhang Nuo without the slightest hesitation!

Feeling the downward force of the giant black mountain, Zhang Nuo wanted to dodge, but just as the mountain reached above his head, the massive mountain spun, and its size expanded once again to over several hundred miles, nearly causing Zhang Nuo, who had no defenses prepared, to suffer a great loss!

Seeing that dodging was not an option, green light flashed on his body, and a hundred-zhang-tall phantom of a green mysterious turtle appeared on his skin!

Boom!

The black mountain smashed heavily onto the mysterious turtle phantom. Although it withstood the strike, the phantom of the mysterious turtle dimmed quite a bit!

After breaking through to the Refining Void Stage, Zhang Nuo had refined the True Spirit Bloodlines of both the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise into his body. If not for this highly defensive mysterious turtle protecting him, he might not have known how badly injured he would have been from this strike! Even so, Zhang Nuo still coughed lightly! His figure flickered again!

Ten thousand rays of Golden Light appeared on his skin, and soon a Dharma Image over three zhang tall condensed! This Dharma Image was the 'Phantom Immortal Dharma Image', which was somewhat different from the Dharma Images of the Integration Stage. One could see that inside this Dharma Image were eight black meridians, flashing with eerie black light, causing fear in anyone who saw them! This was the manifestation of the Eight Extremes Demon Veins having been cultivated to the Great Accomplishment Stage by Zhang Nuo!

At the same time, on the back of the Dharma Image, a spine like white Jade flashed with spirit light, supporting the entire body of the Dharma Image! It made it look even more imposing!

Its eyes opened abruptly, two red rays flashed, and the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image let out a long roar, swinging its fist and smashing it fiercely toward the giant black mountain above Zhang Nuo!

Boom!

The earth-shattering strike of the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image directly smashed the giant mountain to pieces. Then, the Dharma Image separated its hands, and ten thousand rays of Golden Light flowed out, striking the shattered mountain rocks until they were like fine powder!

Before the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm could react, Zhang Nuo raised one hand toward the high sky. Immediately, that arm transformed into a towering giant tree, and a dense canopy grew out rapidly, wrapping part of the black mountain's remains into it! A flash of green light passed, the tree retracted, and Zhang Nuo's arm returned to its original state!

"Wood Spirit Root! Just how many types of spirit roots have you refined into your body, kid?"

The Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm was so angry he was going mad. Just after the fight began, Zhang Nuo had destroyed his giant mountain Magic Treasure; what astonishing power this was!

"If you keep fighting, you'll find out!"

Zhang Nuo smiled eerily, then flipped his palm again. A mass of ghostly blue electric arcs rose from his palm, and slowly, these arcs condensed into a bean-sized entity! However, anyone could see that an astonishing amount of power was gathered within it!

"Go!"

Zhang Nuo pointed with his backhand, and the blue thunder mass in his palm disappeared immediately! The next moment, a thunderclap exploded above the head of the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm, and at the same time, ten thousand blue lightning bolts broke through the air!

The power of the 'Blue Flame True Thunder' was already much greater than that of the 'Purple Lightning Wild Thunder'. Using the Thunder Art to cast this thunder, its power was countless times greater than the Purple Lightning Wild Thunder!

For a time, the void shattered, and the space around the body of the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm became distorted. The overwhelming pressure made him almost suffocate!

However, this demon was no ordinary existence. He raised his hands toward the sky, and instantly, Demonic Qi surged in his palms, and a black Ancient Shield emerged!

This shield was a hundred zhang in size, and a very ferocious beast head was imprinted on its surface! The blue lightning struck the Ancient Shield, but it could not break its defense at all!

Zhang Nuo let out a low cry! The Magic Treasures on this Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm were too sharp! To think it could so easily defend against the attack of the 'Blue Flame True Thunder'!

However, in the blink of an eye, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Nuo's mouth. With a shift of his Divine Sense, the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image turned into a streak of Golden Light and rushed toward the body of the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm! Accompanied by the surrounding blue electric arcs, the eight magic meridians within the Dharma Image's body flashed simultaneously, and a black light quickly shrouded its entire body!

Boom!

The Dharma Image smashed a fist onto the Ancient Shield. The Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm, who had been smug about blocking the 'Blue Flame True Thunder' attack just a moment ago, immediately sank his face! The power of this strike was astonishing; even this Ancient Shield was struggling to bear it!

After several consecutive punches, the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image exerted all its power, and one could see many fine cracks appearing on the surface of the Ancient Shield! Witnessing this scene, Zhang Nuo felt a surge of joy. Blue electric arcs flashed on his body, and after a rumbling thunderclap, he turned into a slender electric arc and disappeared from where he stood!

The next moment, above the Ancient Shield, a blue electric arc leaped out, manifesting into the likeness of Zhang Nuo. One could see him stretch and clench his five fingers, and purple electric arcs surged out! In an instant, they wrapped around his entire arm! After a long roar!

This hand, having gathered the 'Purple Lightning Wild Thunder', smashed heavily onto the Ancient Shield! The power of this strike itself was not very great, but with the addition of the Purple Lightning Wild Thunder, the effect was completely different!

This type of lightning, which specifically restrained demonic creatures, struck the Ancient Shield. The purple electric arcs leaped, and with a loud bang, the sturdy Ancient Shield shattered in response, turning into wisps of Demonic Qi and disappearing!

"Purple Lightning Wild Thunder! You actually have this kind of thing!"

The voice of the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm, filled with terror, rang out from below. In his eyes, the previous killing intent could no longer be found; all that remained was fear and surprise!

He turned to leave, but Zhang Nuo did not give him the chance! Purple thunder light flashed on his body, another thunderclap rang out, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from where he stood! At the same time, in front of the body of the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm, space fluctuated, a flash of purple lightning passed, and Zhang Nuo appeared!

He grabbed hard at the void with his palm! The many sword shadows that had previously formed the Ten Thousand Swords Flow Array shattered one after another, condensing toward his hand!

In just the blink of an eye, a three-foot-long sword shimmering with spirit light appeared in Zhang Nuo's palm! This long sword, gathered from the sword intent of the eighty-one Flying Swords in the Sword Box, was incomparably sharp; one swing could pierce the heavens and earth!

'Swish!'

Zhang Nuo held the sword of sword intent and suddenly stabbed toward the body of the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm!

Wherever the long sword passed, the void shattered completely. The long sword swept across the shattered void, emitting a piercing, shrill sound! A point of cold light flashed at the tip of the sword! It stabbed directly into the heart of the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm!

Only at the moment the long sword pierced his body did the demon wake up from the power of the sword momentum! He looked down at the long sword stuck in his body, a look of unwillingness appearing on his face!

"How is this possible! This deity actually died at the hands of a human cultivator!"

Zhang Nuo looked at him coldly, his face expressionless! He flipped his wrist, and a burst of spirit light flashed on the surface of the long sword. With a rumbling explosion, the body of the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm turned into a patch of Demonic Qi and disappeared!

With a shift of his Divine Sense, Zhang Nuo withdrew his supernatural powers and closed his eyes slightly! His body disappeared from the Divine Sea!

The next moment, Zhang Nuo, who was sitting quietly in the room, opened his eyes abruptly! His heart was pounding wildly!

This Heavenly Demon Tribulation was truly dangerous. If the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm hadn't been caught off guard by the 'Purple Lightning Wild Thunder', it probably wouldn't have been killed so easily!

This was only a Refining Void Stage Heavenly Demon; once he wanted to charge toward the Great Accomplishment Stage, the power of the Heavenly Demon would be even stronger! Thinking of this, cold sweat appeared on Zhang Nuo's forehead, and the joy of having killed the Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm vanished!

He looked down at his body, feeling the vastness of the Spirit Power in his Five-Colored Divine Sea!

Zhang Nuo stood up and walked toward the outside of the room! This seclusion in the Underground Palace was completely over. As for the gains, anyone could see that his supernatural powers had not just improved by a little!

Just as he walked out of the room, he saw the Great Prophet already standing outside the door!

"Kid, you got rid of the Heavenly Demon Tribulation so quickly?"

Zhang Nuo smiled faintly, then nodded slightly, bowed, and said:

"I must thank the Great Prophet this time; if not for the item you gifted me, I certainly would not have progressed with such divine speed!"

Although his cultivation had advanced to the Void Refinement stage, Zhang Nuo did not dare to act as a senior before the Great Prophet, still referring to himself as "this one."

"Since you are finished, leave this place quickly! If you stay for a few more years, I fear this underground palace of mine will be dismantled by you!"

Shaking his aged bull head, the Great Prophet spoke as if displeased.
