Chapter 4619: One of the Ten Lesser Saints of the Demon Court, the Shadow Holy Demon
Jun Xiaoyao's sudden remark left everyone present startled.
They had not noticed anything at all.
Everyone's gaze turned toward the void, but they sensed nothing.
Jun Xiaoyao gave a slight shake of his head.
Then he reached out directly.
Vast laws intertwined, forming a giant hand that seized toward that part of the void.
The previously calm void suddenly twisted.
Faintly, a humanoid shadow flickered and vanished within it.
"Trying to run?"
Jun Xiaoyao grasped at the void.
That region of space instantly froze as if sealed in ice, its spatial laws becoming extraordinarily stable.
This was precisely the Fourth Seal of the Immortal Ban: Ban on Space.
At this moment, the humanoid shadow within that space finally fully emerged.
It was a tall, slender man.
Clad entirely in black, his whole body seemed shrouded in layers of shadow.
Countless strands of dark law power, like a net, wrapped around him in overlapping layers.
Behind him, a pair of bat-like black fleshy wings had grown.
Upon seeing this figure,
the War Heaven Holy Demon and the Golden Holy Demon, who stood nearby, shuddered and exclaimed.
"It's you… Shadow Holy Demon!"
This man, bearing black bat wings,
was indeed the Shadow Holy Demon among the Ten Lesser Saints of the Demon Court.
Though he was not the strongest in combat among the Ten Lesser Saints,
he was the most enigmatic and unpredictable.
For his true form was a peculiar demon race, the Shadow Demon.
Leaving no trace, coming and going without a trace, formless and boundless, mysterious and unfathomable.
He could be called a natural-born assassin.
Once, in the vast starry expanse, a Shadow Demon of the Emperor Realm had assassinated a cultivator whose strength exceeded his by an entire realm.
This caused quite a stir.
Although there may have been various reasons behind it,
it also highlighted the eeriness of the Shadow Demon race.
However, the numbers of this race are very scarce.
Yet every individual is extraordinarily powerful.
Thus, this man could be ranked among the Ten Lesser Saints of the Demon Court.
"Shadow Holy Demon?"
Jun Xiaoyao murmured, glancing at the Shadow Holy Demon.
In fact, even before Jing Hong arrived and fought him,
Jun Xiaoyao had sensed this demon lurking in the void.
But at that time, he did not expose it.
Now it seems this Shadow Holy Demon was likely sent by the Demon Court Crown Prince to probe his reality.
"War Heaven Holy Demon, Golden Holy Demon, you dare betray the Crown Prince, betray the Demon Court."
"From now on, you will have no place to survive; the Crown Prince himself will personally purge the sect…"
The Shadow Holy Demon's gaze turned cold as he looked at the War Heaven Holy Demon and the Golden Holy Demon.
Their faces also tightened.
Initially, they had indeed chosen to surrender to Jun Xiaoyao due to various reasons.
But now, having witnessed Jun Xiaoyao's strength firsthand,
they felt that even the Demon Court Crown Prince they once looked up to might not necessarily be Jun Xiaoyao's match.
Who will purge whom in the end remains uncertain.
"You still have leisure to threaten? Since you've come, don't leave."
Jun Xiaoyao spoke in an indifferent tone.
He harbored no fondness whatsoever for the Demon Court.
In the past, the Demon Court and the Jun clan had also clashed repeatedly.
Thus, he was destined to have conflict with the Demon Court.
"Hmph…"
The Shadow Holy Demon's eyes sank.
The reason he came to probe Jun Xiaoyao's situation was naturally because he possessed this ability.
Dark law runes flowed across the Shadow Holy Demon's body.
In an instant, the previously solidified void underwent a cleansing turmoil.
The Shadow Holy Demon's form seemed to become a shadow itself.
Ignoring the spatial blockade and suppression, he transformed into a black light attempting to flee.
"Huh?"
Jun Xiaoyao glanced at the Shadow Demon Saint with interest.
This shadow demon does have something special about it.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people indeed find it difficult to detain him.
Even those with stronger cultivation and realm find it hard to detain a shadow demon.
Because its attribute is too special, if it wants to escape, it is difficult to stop.
However, Jun Xiaoyao is not an ordinary person.
Although he does not possess the existence of shadow laws or the like.
But he possesses the Void Scripture and divine abilities such as the Kun Peng Technique.
In terms of spatial Dao, there are truly not many people more profound than him.
At least within the Seventh Heaven of the Emperor Realm, Jun Xiaoyao's spatial Dao is difficult for anyone to match.
He once again grasped at the void.
The endless space seemed to ripple with waves and undulations.
Dense runes illuminated the void, completely sealing the space where the Shadow Demon Saint was located.
"How could this be, you..."
The Shadow Demon Saint was also startled.
Because of the special nature of their shadow demon clan.
Thus, in the aspect of spatial Dao, they possess an innate talent, with few able to compare to them.
However, now he actually felt that the space in all directions was completely sealed, rendering him utterly immobile.
This made his heart surge like overturning rivers and seas.
"It should be that the Crown Prince of the Demon Court sent you to test my situation."
"It seems he lacks confidence in himself." Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
"So it's someone from the Demon Court."
"He actually dares to come courting death to probe Young Master Jun..."
The surrounding crowd, upon hearing this, all gasped in astonishment.
The Shadow Demon Saint's face turned grim: "Jun Xiaoyao, do not be arrogant, the foundation of my Demon Court is not something you can imagine..."
However, his words were not yet finished.
Jun Xiaoyao pointed with a finger.
A strand of destructive sword qi instantly tore through the void.
Although it was merely a flick of the finger, the Shadow Demon Saint also felt an attack of extreme terror.
He hastily unleashed a great divine ability, raising his hand.
Endless dark laws converged, condensing in the void.
Transforming into a colossal black shadow blade, emitting a chilling aura that cuts through space and time, causing the surrounding void to collapse inch by inch.
This colossal shadow blade swept forth, colliding with Jun Xiaoyao's sword qi.
But it was instantly shattered.
Thereafter, the sword qi directly blasted toward the Shadow Demon Saint.
However, unexpectedly, the Shadow Demon Saint's body did not explode.
That sword qi, like passing through a shadow, directly pierced through the Shadow Demon Saint's body surface.
"Indeed, somewhat strange..."
The surrounding crowd, seeing this, also had their eyes narrow slightly.
Truly worthy of being the mysterious shadow demon clan.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes showed no fluctuation.
He stepped lightly, his form instantly vanishing into the void.
The next moment, he appeared directly before the Shadow Demon Saint.
Then he opened his palm.
Black and white light interwove in his palm, then expanded in the void.
As if forming a black-and-white chessboard, suppressing everything.
This is the divine ability Jun Xiaoyao once obtained, inherited from the Xuanyuan Great Emperor: the Fang Cun Qian Kun.
This Fang Cun Qian Kun likewise has the effect of suppressing the void and sealing the eight directions.
Combined with the spatial power of the Kun Peng Technique.
It directly sealed the Shadow Demon Saint completely within it.
Even the bloodline divine ability of his shadow demon lineage finds it difficult to manifest within.
"What divine ability is this?"
The Shadow Demon Saint was startled again.
He originally thought that, with his shadow demon lineage's divine ability.
Without saying he could oppose Jun Xiaoyao, at least he could depart calmly.
Because in the past, even when sparring with the Demon Court's Crown Prince, he could hold his own for a time.
However, now Jun Xiaoyao's single move directly sealed his retreat, leaving him utterly without escape!
