Chapter 350 Slaying the Nine Corpses, the Heavenly Emperor Appears!
boom!
The terrifying demonic energy, as black as ink and as viscous as a substance, suddenly erupted wildly from within that seemingly majestic blue-robed body, like a volcano suppressed for thousands of years!
The once majestic imperial power was instantly corrupted and tainted, transforming into a dark cloud of death that blotted out the sky. Amidst the churning clouds, countless twisted and tormented faces could be vaguely seen wailing silently, exuding a nauseating aura of decay and evil.
The crystal imperial sword that was originally stuck in the ground also let out a barely perceptible mournful cry. The light on the sword body flickered rapidly, as if trying to break free from some invisible restraint, but it was suppressed and entangled by the suddenly erupting viscous demonic energy.
With his disguise completely torn off, the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, who had been hiding for tens of thousands of years, and who was a terrifying being who was notorious among the evil races outside the realm in ancient times and could be ranked in the top ten, finally revealed his ferocious and terrifying true face!
"Since you've seen through me—"
At the core of the demonic energy, two crimson lights locked onto Lu Yu and Qing Xuanjun, their voices hoarse and distorted, filled with greed and pure killing intent.
"Then use your pure flesh and soul to celebrate my rebirth!"
Faced with this terrifying turn of events and overwhelming demonic power, Lu Yu and Qing Xuanjun remained completely unfazed, their eyes growing even sharper and colder.
The "Nine Heavens Clear Light Array" set up by Qing Xuanjun was the first to collide with the demonic energy. The purification runes and the dark demonic energy fiercely clashed and consumed each other, emitting a hissing sound of dissolving. Light and darkness intertwined and annihilated each other.
Lu Yu's crystal pagoda crashed down with a deafening roar. The vast holy power of the pagoda was like a furnace, causing the demonic energy to retreat and evaporate wherever it passed, directly targeting the core of the demonic energy!
However, the remnant soul of the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor did not seem to be too flustered by this joint attack. At the core of the demonic energy, a scarlet light flickered slightly, and it even let out a cold snort that sounded like disdain.
The next instant, the viscous demonic energy twisted violently, transforming into sharp and ferocious demonic spikes that clashed against the light array and the pagoda.
At the same time, from within the dark clouds, a gigantic black hand, entirely condensed from demonic energy and entwined with countless wailing faces, reached out, its five fingers like hooks, carrying a terrifying power that could tear through space, and fiercely grabbed at Lu Yu!
Clearly, the weakest link is the first to be picked. In the eyes of the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, Lu Yu's early-stage Immortal Realm cultivation was far easier to deal with than Qing Xuanjun, a late-stage Great Perfection cultivator!
Faced with the ferocious and overwhelming demonic claws, Lu Yu remained calm. He did not dodge, but quietly activated the Great Floating Pagoda Technique within his body to its limit, with pure and flawless spiritual light emanating from his body.
Immediately, he opened his mouth and spat out—
A beam of light, indescribably brilliant, pure, and magnificent, suddenly burst forth from his mouth!
The beam of light was not simply a condensation of spiritual energy; it seemed to contain a vast and boundless supreme sword intent. Wherever the light passed, the space seemed to be subtly torn apart by its sharpness, emitting a faint hum.
This is the "Tai Ling Tong Tian Guang", one of the thirty-six peerless divine abilities that Lu Yu inherited from the Tai Ling Ancient Clan!
laugh!
The seemingly ferocious, pitch-black demonic hand, upon contact with the Tai Ling Tong Tian Guang, disintegrated like snow being poured on boiling water, emitting a piercing melting sound, and rapidly crumbled and disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The beam of light continued its relentless advance, like an indestructible, sharp sword of light, striking directly at the core of the surging demonic energy. Its unparalleled sword intent caused the surrounding demonic energy to instinctively retreat as if encountering a natural enemy.
"What?!"
From the depths of the demonic energy came the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's furious roar. He never expected that his well-prepared attack, aimed at the "easy target," would not only fail to succeed but would also be easily shattered by the opponent's divine power, with the residual power even targeting his very essence!
In the rush, the surging demonic energy quickly condensed, transforming into layers of pitch-black bone shields engraved with strange runes, blocking the way before the piercing light.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
However, these hastily assembled defenses proved so fragile before the overwhelming light of the Heavenly Radiance. Bone shields shattered one after another, and demonic runes dimmed and vanished.
The penetrating, sharp sword intent caused the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor to let out a muffled groan, clearly indicating that he had been seriously injured.
"What an overbearing divine power!"
Qing Xuanjun, observing from the side, noticed this clearly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. At the same time, without the slightest delay, taking advantage of the Nine Corpse Demon Emperor's injury and mental turmoil, he suddenly changed his hand seals and shouted, "Nine Heavens Pure Light, Heavenly Net Binding Demon, Suppress!"
The "Nine Heavens Clear Light Array" that enveloped all directions was in full power, and the array patterns shone brightly.
Countless condensed chains of pure light, flowing with purification runes, shot out from the void like lightning, intertwining and connecting with each other to form a sky-covering net that headed towards the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, whose demonic energy was disordered and whose aura was unstable!
"You bastard!"
The remnant soul of the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor was filled with shock and rage, letting out a piercing roar. He could clearly feel the purifying power emanating from those luminous chains, a power that seared his very soul.
The demonic energy surged wildly, transforming into countless ferocious demonic spikes and blades, desperately attacking the entangling net of chains and light, attempting to tear it apart.
However, the array set up by Qing Xuanjun was not easy to counter.
The Nine Heavens Clear Light Array was originally a top-tier demon-suppressing array secretly passed down through the Pure Vein. Now, with a Grandmaster of Spirit Arrays at the late stage of Immortal Rank fully activating it, its power was brought to its extreme.
Most of the demonic energy impacting the chain light net was directly purified and dissipated. The few that caused slight fluctuations were quickly compensated and reinforced by the subsequent surge of cleansing chains.
Like an insect trapped in amber, the Nine Corpse Demon Emperor struggled left and right, but could not break free from the ever-tightening net of heaven and earth. His already injured remnant soul weakened and dimmed at a visible speed under the continuous erosion of the purifying power, and the density of his demonic energy also decreased rapidly.
"You brat! How dare you bully me like this!"
A venomous and resentful roar echoed from within the demonic energy, "If I weren't just a remnant soul, how could your shabby formation have trapped me!"
Qing Xuanjun stood in mid-air, maintaining the formation. Upon hearing this, he merely smiled faintly: "The victor is king, the loser is villain. There's no need for further words. In your prime, I would naturally have given way. But now—you are nothing more than a lingering remnant that should be completely purified."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes turned cold, and his hand seals changed again: "Nine Heavens Pure Light, Annihilate!"
The net of heaven and earth that enveloped the demonic energy suddenly contracted inward, and countless chains of pure light, like dragons, twisted and tightened wildly. The purifying power surged towards the core like a tide, colliding violently with the demonic energy and emitting a hissing sound of intense dissolution.
"what!"
The Nine Corpse Demon Emperor let out a mournful howl, feeling his remnant soul being rapidly eroded and purified. The ferocity and madness originating from ancient times were being fully unleashed.
"You want to kill me? Not so easy!"
The core of demonic energy suddenly erupted with a resolute surge of power, "Explode!"
boom!
The demonic energy ball, tightly bound by the Qingguang Chains, suddenly collapsed inward to an extreme point, and then exploded violently!
The terrifying black energy surge instantly tore through part of the chains, and a violent torrent of demonic energy swept out, causing the Nine Heavens Clear Light Array set up by Qing Xuanjun to shake violently, its light rapidly dimming.
Qing Xuanjun frowned slightly, took half a step back, and formed hand seals to stabilize the formation and purify the destructive energy of the self-destruction.
Amidst the chaos and energy obscuring created by the self-destruction, an extremely subtle gray-black line, almost blending into the surrounding chaotic energy, shot out from the weakest crack in the formation with lightning speed, frantically fleeing towards the outside of the cemetery!
"Aren't you overestimating yourself?"
However, at this moment, a calm voice rang out. It was as if Lu Yu had silently moved to the front of the escape route, the crystal pagoda in his hand hovering quietly.
He remained calm, as if he had anticipated this scene.
"The Floating Pagoda, used to suppress demons."
As soon as he thought of it, the light at the bottom of the crystal pagoda shone brightly, and a gentle yet boundless suction force suddenly descended, precisely enveloping the gray-black line that thought it had succeeded!
"Impossible—how could you—"
From within the thin gray-black lines came the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's horrified scream. His method of self-preservation was extremely unpredictable, rarely failing even in ancient times. How could it be so easily seen through and intercepted by a young junior?
"Nine Corpses, Nine Lives, your tricks have been seen through over tens of thousands of years."
Lu Yu spoke calmly, channeling his spiritual power into the pagoda. The pagoda's suction increased dramatically, and the struggling wisp of gray-black demonic thought was finally forcibly sucked into the pagoda.
The tower's doors closed, a slight humming sound arose, and faintly, the purifying fluctuations of the Holy Floating Fire could be heard from within, along with the last trace of resentment and unwillingness of the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's faint hiss, before finally falling into complete silence.
Qing Xuanjun had stabilized the formation by now, and with a flick of his sleeve, he dispersed the remaining demonic energy and turbulent energy flow before coming to Lu Yu's side.
He gazed at the crystal pagoda, now calm and shimmering with light, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes: "The Holy Son is indeed meticulous and anticipates the enemy's moves. This Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor is cunning and treacherous. If the Holy Son had not been prepared, he might have truly escaped with his life, leaving behind endless calamities."
Lu Yu put away the Floating Pagoda and shook his head slightly: "If it weren't for the senior using an array to suppress it head-on and force it to self-destruct, I would have had to put in a lot more effort."
Qing Xuanjun nodded, his gaze sweeping across the plaza below, now even more ravaged by the battle, before finally settling on the crystal imperial sword still embedded in the ground, its light slightly dimmed, and the pitch-black skull pressed against its tip. His expression turned solemn: "Now that this matter is settled, it's time to see the true remains of the Heavenly Emperor."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and a vast expanse of clear light swept out, like a clear spring, enveloping the dark skull that exuded a chilling and evil aura.
hissing sound—
The clear light came into contact with the remaining demonic energy, emitting a faint sound of dissolving. Finally, the entire head transformed into a pure, gentle, crystalline light. The light slowly converged, condensing into a slightly ethereal white-robed figure.
The figure, dressed in a simple yet neat white robe, stood tall and composed, exuding an air of calm and steadfastness.
Although his face was somewhat blurred, the indescribable majesty and oppression emanating from him inspired awe in all who beheld him. It was the kind of aura that only a true emperor who ruled over a region and ascended to the pinnacle could possess.
Lu Yu and Qing Xuanjun's gazes instantly focused on the white-robed figure.
The white-robed figure seemed to raise its head slightly, its blurred facial features appearing to be "looking" at Lu Yu and Qing Xuanjun.
A moment later, a gentle and calm voice, yet carrying a hint of ancient vicissitudes, slowly rang out, not through the air, but resounding directly in the hearts of the two: "The successor—the Nine Corpses, have they been slain?"
