Chapter 390: Solo Against Ten Thousand Troops! Return to the Void! Advance Step by Step!

Ao Ting and Huo Ling were in sync with Chu Yang, and as soon as they rushed onto the battlefield, their tasks were clearly divided.

One blocked the retreat of those Demon Tribe Asura elites, while the other, like wolves entering a flock of sheep, began the slaughter.

The three Mysterious Demon Emperors were somewhat surprised by this, yet found it reasonable.

The Combat War Demon Emperor, after all, is a hegemon, so it is no surprise that several strong ones of the Spiritual Product Tian Zhizun realm serve under him.

What surprised them was that the two divine beasts seemed untouched by corrupting forces.

But just as they were about to strike, to first eliminate these two ignorant divine beasts, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked them.

Human?

The three Mysterious Demon Emperors were slightly stunned; how could a Human Race elite exist in the Combat War Demon Realm? Yet when they sensed Chu Yang's aura, they couldn't help finding it amusing.

A mere Di Zhizun Great Perfection daring to stand before them was truly ignorant of the heavens and earth.

Among the three Mysterious Demon Emperors, one was awash with blood Qi, another was shrouded in a ghostly green mist, and the third had pallid skin emitting a rotting odor, like a corpse.

These three are top elites of the Demon Tribe Asura, and are also well‑known beyond the realm.

The blood‑soaked one is called Xue Sha Mysterious Demon Emperor, the corpse‑like one is called Mu Hun Mysterious Demon Emperor, and the last is Ye You Mysterious Demon Emperor.

Mu Hun Mysterious Demon Emperor stared at Chu Yang, glanced at his Original Body of Martial Essence behind him, squinted and said, "This kid is a bit odd…"

"Then let's strike together, eliminate him first, and then go after the Combat War Demon Emperor!" Xue Sha grinned, his gaze icy, looking at Chu Yang as if he were a corpse.

They all sensed a faint threat from the Original Body of Martial Essence, so they did not take him lightly.

It should be noted that this is deep within the outside realm; a Human Race of Di Zhizun Great Perfection who managed to survive here and still dare to block them must be extraordinary.

Ye You glanced at War Demon City, sensed the Divine Turtle Spirit and Divine Qilin Spirit, and sneered, "No wonder you repeatedly spurned our tribe's overtures; you've long been colluding with Humans!"

"That Combat War Demon Emperor really is courting death!"

As the words faded, his figure flashed to Chu Yang's side, a massive ghostly‑green hand seal materialized and slammed down! At the same time, Xue Sha and Mu Hun showed no restraint, each unleashing techniques toward Chu Yang.

Chu Yang's gaze hardened; the light suffused with annihilating aura surged around him, then merged into the Heavenly Gate.

The blade trembled, emitting strange ripples.

Chu Yang raised his hand in a sword‑drawing pose, then slashed! Extreme Sword Art: Opening Move!

With his Di Zhizun Great Perfection cultivation, this sword, though merely an opening move, was powerful enough to threaten the Spiritual Product Seventh Heaven Supreme.

However, against the three Mysterious Demon Emperors, it was clearly a strain.

But then a bizarre scene unfolded…

As the long sword swept outward, the attacks of the three Mysterious Demon Emperors that struck the blade instantly vanished, as if dissolved by an unknown force.

The Heavenly Gate, still potent, cut straight toward the three.

All three paled, leapt back in a flash, but the greatest trait of the Extreme Sword Art opening move is its surprise.

Thus, even though they reacted quickly, each was indirectly slashed across the chest, leaving a gash.

"What is that power?"

After retreating a hundred zhang, the three Mysterious Demon Emperors' gazes grew solemn, staring intently at the Heavenly Gate in Chu Yang's hand.

They subconsciously thought that the strange power originated from the sword in his hand.

This is undoubtedly a treasure, possibly a peerless holy relic! Why would such a Human Race artifact of this caliber appear in the hands of a Lower Rank Di Zhizun Great Perfection youngster?

And isn't Qi Wei a bit too perverse? They all clearly felt that the moment their attacks met the long sword, the evil energy within their strikes instantly dissipated, as if swallowed.

Moreover, the sword was exceedingly sharp, easily cutting through the three of their robust flesh.

Fortunately their attacks weren't strong; otherwise, just from this single clash they might have suffered severe injury!

In fact, it wasn't only the three Mysterious Demon Emperors; Chu Yang himself was also surprised.

He had anticipated the origin of the Divine River Ultimate Gene, and that the divine skill formed by merging it with the Heavenly Gate would be extraordinary, its power and effect not weaker than Reincarnation.

But he didn't expect it to be this powerful! Return to the Void, that is the name Chu Yang gave this divine skill.

Return to the Void means a bottomless abyss in the sea, where waters converge; it can also be described as the "end" and "home" of all.

Even from its name alone, its potency is immediately evident.

At this stage, Chu Yang can only apply Return to the Void to the Heavenly Gate blade; any energy that contacts the Heavenly Gate will be annihilated and dispersed.

It feels as if the energy is devoured by the Heavenly Gate, yet it is different.

Return to the Void and Reincarnation share a common trait: when this divine skill is used, Chu Yang's Primordial Qi consumption is proportional to the target's strength.

Just now the three Mysterious Demon Emperors only made preliminary probes, not using killing moves; the energy in their attacks was limited, so they caused little drain on Chu Yang and he easily nullified their assaults.

Given Chu Yang's current Primordial Qi foundation, even against a full‑force strike of an early‑stage Spiritual Product Tian Zhizun, Return to the Void could only neutralize about eighty percent of its energy.

Of course, Return to the Void has an obvious weakness: it can only affect energy attacks.

Against foes who excel with physical bodies, its effect would be greatly reduced.

But at least for now, the three Mysterious Demon Emperors have not noticed this issue.

Watching their subordinates being sandwiched by the two divine beasts and slaughtered, the three Mysterious Demon Emperors grew even colder.

They knew they could not delay any longer.

The kid before them was too strange; the three must combine forces to eliminate him quickly, then go slay the two divine beasts.

As for the Combat War Demon Emperor? Though they didn't know why that guy hadn't appeared, in their view, once they dealt with this Human Race, tackling the Combat War Demon Emperor would be a breeze! The Combat War Demon Emperor last acted three months ago, when he had just barely reached the late stage of Saint Product, and the three were confident they could defeat him.

"Quick battle, quick finish! Who goes first?" Xue Sha suddenly looked at the two beside him.

The Demon Tribe Asura possess an innate ability called Asura; this group is named after that talent.

When entering Asura state, their overall strength surges dramatically, and some powerful techniques of the Demon Tribe Asura can only be used in that state. Outside the realm, many know that before entering Asura state, the Demon Tribe Asura are almost bottom‑ranked among their peers, sometimes even weaker than lower‑realm practitioners.

But once in Asura state, setting aside the Saint and Demon clans, the Demon Tribe Asura's strength is unrivaled within the same realm.

However, Asura state has a drawback: it only lasts briefly, and after it ends, they become weakened.

"Let me!" Mu Hun squinted, strands of dark red light seeped from his pores, and in a moment his body was enveloped, turning into a blood cocoon.

At the same time, Xue Sha and Ye You rushed toward Chu Yang, each striking the Return to the Void Heavenly Gate as if punching cotton.

For a moment, it was Chu Yang who gained the upper hand! "Buzz…"

At that instant, the blood cocoon suddenly dissipated, and a powerful aura surged skyward.

Mu Hun hovered in the air, his skin, once as pallid as a corpse, now covered in dark‑red demonic patterns, looking extremely ferocious.

"I never expected that I, the Emperor, would one day resort to Shura to deal with an Earth Supreme Great Perfection!"

Mu Hun stared at Chu Yang, murderous intent fully revealed in his eyes; Xue Sha and Ye You withdrew, then blocked all of Chu Yang's escape routes.

At this moment, the three of them were like the strange demon and the Nine Heavens Profound Demon Emperor on the Demon‑subduing Continent before, already resolved in their hearts that this Human Race boy must not leave alive!

Although, in their view, Chu Yang relied on external aid and the sword in his hand to contend with them.

Yet it cannot be denied that this Human Race boy's combat power far exceeds his own realm! Such a person, if allowed to grow, would become a major threat to the Outer Evil Tribe! Chu Yang squinted; he could clearly feel that Mu Hun's strength had even approached the level of the Nine Heavens Profound Demon Emperor.

After acquiring the strange demon's memories, he naturally knew the innate abilities of the Shura Demon Tribe.

Therefore Chu Yang knew well that if the other two also entered the Shura state, even if he could defeat them, he could not spare any of them. "Sacrifice the living, Shura Slash!"

Mu Hun formed seals with both hands, blood Qi raging around him, and behind him a sea of blood, where countless souls seemed to howl in agony.

Finally, the blood‑colored light converged into a massive blade light that pierced heaven and earth, slashing horizontally toward Chu Yang!

Shura Triple Sacrifice!

Chu Yang's gaze hardened; he knew this divine ability was the Shura Demon Tribe's trump card.

However, he truly did not expect Mu Hun to be so cautious; even after entering the Shura state, he showed no carelessness, striking with a killing move at once! The long sword in his hand crossed his chest, then assumed a drawing stance; Chu Yang's eyes instantly became as sharp as a blade, and a sword slash erupted, scattering brilliant colors across the sky.

Extreme Sword Art·Night Bloom! At the moment Heavenly Gate contacted Shura Slash, it emitted a strange fluctuation that instantly dissipated seventy percent of the spiritual power contained in Shura Slash.

This was still Chu Yang conserving Primordial Qi to avoid excessive consumption, waiting for the chance to trigger Heavenly Demon Force.

Otherwise, merely by Return to Void, he could completely annihilate Shura Slash.

Although this would allow Night Bloom to heavily wound Mu Hun, from the moment the battle began Chu Yang had been moving step by step, creating chances to strike the three of them one by one, killing them separately.

So severe injury is not his goal; exterminating the three and preserving the source of demonic Qi is paramount!

Yet even so, after shattering Shura Slash, Night Bloom's momentum remained undiminished, and the brilliant colors shot toward Mu Hun.

Seeing Mu Hun enter the Shura state and also wield Shura Slash, he was still at a disadvantage against Chu Yang; Xue Sha and Ye You's faces changed dramatically, and without any hesitation they both launched attacks.

Although the two did not use their innate divine abilities, both were late‑stage Profound Demon Emperors, and their full‑power strikes were still not to be underestimated.

But Chu Yang seemed oblivious to the threat behind him, ignoring it, and charged toward Mu Hun with his sword.

Mu Hun, seeing Shura Slash broken, immediately performed the second sacrifice of Shura Triple Sacrifice — Shura Fury.

The sea of blood behind him rapidly contracted, and in the blink of an eye became a blood sphere the size of a human head, meeting the sky‑filled brilliance.

"Puff…"

Return to Void could only be applied to the Heavenly Gate sword blade, and could not affect Night Bloom, so as soon as the two attacks met, the sky‑filled brilliance burst and vanished.

This scene once again left the three Profound Demon Emperors bewildered, unable for a moment to accurately gauge Chu Yang's strength.

The sword‑art divine ability was absurdly powerful a second ago, easily breaking Shura Slash; how could it be neutralized by Shura Fury the next second? The blood sphere drawn by Shura Fury had just shattered the sky‑filled brilliance when Chu Yang's figure instantly arrived.

Extreme Sword Art·Flash! At a speed to the extreme, Chu Yang instantly flung the two behind him aside and thrust a sword toward the blood sphere.

The strange fluctuation radiated again; Return to Void erased most of the blood sphere's power, yet under Chu Yang's deliberate control, the remaining force still slammed onto him.

Chu Yang used the momentum to fly backward, as if he had suffered a severe wound.

Xue Sha and Ye You both showed a pleased expression; they did not suspect deceit, after all Chu Yang's outward cultivation was only Emperor Supreme Great Perfection.

Although with external aid his strength could be raised to a terrifying level, ordinarily such means always carry many restrictions or severe consumption.

They only thought Chu Yang's successor was powerless, thus he showed a waning stance.

Nevertheless, to be cautious, the two still attacked Chu Yang from left and right, in a pincer formation, each exerting full force, with a stance that could kill with a single blow.

A flash of brilliance lit Chu Yang's eyes; after such long planning, the moment had arrived! The Original Body of Martial Essence manifested, then immediately enveloped him.

Chu Yang stood within the Original Body of Martial Essence; the demonic patterns on the left arm and shoulder of the dharma body seemed to come alive, drifting, while a dragon‑elephant phantom emerged behind him, devouring most of the demonic patterns.

The remaining demonic patterns were bestowed upon the dharma body; Chu Yang swung his arm and punched, the dragon‑elephant phantom merging into the left arm of the dharma body, and in an instant space shattered, demonic Qi surged skyward!

"Saint Product!?!"

Xue Sha and Ye You's faces changed dramatically, fear even appearing in their eyes.

They could no longer bother to think how a Human Race body could contain such pure demonic Qi, nor consider that Chu Yang was already at the end of his strength yet still unleashed such power; the two immediately intended to use their innate divine abilities, but it was already too late.

They could only watch helplessly as that arm, like a pillar of demonic stone supporting the heavens, drew ever closer.

Chu Yang's target was clear; he ignored Ye You and smashed his fist straight at Xue Sha.

From the earlier blood‑killing that let the other two first use their innate divine abilities, and their obedience to his will, it can be seen that Xue Sha held the highest position among the three.

This is a world where strength reigns, especially among the Outer Evil Tribe, where only the stronger can attain higher status.

So it is evident that among these three Profound Demon Emperors, Xue Sha is undoubtedly the strongest! Strike a snake at the seventh inch; capture the thief by first capturing the king! (End of Chapter)
