Cultivation: I Have a Golden Talisman
Chapter 257 - 44: Tier Three Celestial Demon (Part 2)
The leaves on the Red Sun Divine Tree transformed into an endless stream of fire, like a rising dawn sun. Their light flickered within the Demon Light Smoke Net, creating a magnificent, kaleidoscopic illusion of countless layers of clouds.
Each time the fiery light flared, a layer of the Demon Light Smoke Net vanished.
By the looks of it, the net wouldn’t last much longer.
And this was with many Outer Elders working together to maintain the Grand Array.
In the sky outside Yinluo Island, the figure of a middle-aged Daoist appeared without a sound.
He held a Bone Daoist Palace in his hand, a sharp beam of sword light encircled him, and his aura was unfathomably deep.
This man was none other than the Peak Master of Demon Lion Peak, Sun Fugai.
He had received orders from the Yinluo Sect’s Sect Leader to slip out of Yinluo Island. Wielding the Fourth-rank Magical Artifact, the Bone Daoist Palace, gave him the temporary combat power of the Life Soul Realm. He was meant to be a trump card, supporting both Yinluo Island and Ao Mountain Island against any unforeseen developments.
Just as killing intent flared in his eyes and he was about to charge into the Celestial Palace beneath the canopy of the Red Sun Divine Tree, his expression suddenly changed. He turned his head and looked toward the vicinity of Ao Mountain Island.
Outside Ao Mountain Island, between the sea and sky, a mountain-sized emerald wave suddenly surged upward, rising high into the air and sweeping toward the Netherworld Prison Suppression Array.
Atop the massive wave stood a slender figure, barefoot and bald, dressed as a nun.
Her aura had, astonishingly, already reached the Life Soul Level.
The nun lightly raised a finger, and a glint of crystalline cold light appeared at its tip.
The next instant.
A boundless cold energy surged forth, and layers of ice crystals materialized out of thin air between the sea and sky.
The surging chill carried a destructive intent that could freeze all of creation, and it permeated the surroundings.
The nun flicked her finger. The sky suddenly brightened as a blinding white light flashed.
Following that, an azure beam of icy light, as vast as a great river, blasted toward the Netherworld Prison Suppression Array.
In a flash, an ethereal and unpredictable beam of sword light appeared. It ensnared and deflected the icy blue ray, causing it to land on the vast surface of the water far away.
Countless icicles unfurled in the air, and a towering iceberg instantly erupted from the sea dozens of miles away from Ao Mountain Island.
The chill spread, freezing the giant wave in mid-air.
Sun Fugai’s figure appeared outside the Netherworld Prison Suppression Array, blocking the nun.
Inside the Seven Kills Array, Fang Cheng turned his head in astonishment and looked outside.
Firstly, he was surprised to see his master, Sun Fuguo, in person again.
Secondly, he was astonished by that world-shattering chill from just a moment ago.
’Isn’t that a Divine Technique from the Nine Heavens Cold Ice Technique? Who could have cultivated this Divine Technique to such a terrifying level?!’
A thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and with a start, he realized he already knew the answer.
’The Demon Buddha Inheritor!’
The nun looked at Sun Fugai and said coldly, "You can’t stop me."
"Try me," Sun Fugai replied calmly.
The Bone Daoist Palace in his hand instantly erupted with brilliant light. A torrential wave of Magical Power surged into his body, causing his cultivation aura to soar. In a flash, he broke through a barrier and reached another realm entirely.
The sword light in front of Sun Fugai flashed and suddenly transformed into a world-shaking ribbon of light that slashed toward the nun.
The nun waved a fair hand. Coldness surged through the void as a lifelike frost dragon materialized, breathing out an icy breath to block the sword light.
In a flash of Escape Light, the two of them shot into the sky and vanished in an instant.
The next moment, high in the heavens, waves of clear sword hums were accompanied by an astonishing chill that began to spread.
Countless snowflakes began to drift down. For dozens of miles around, it was as if deep winter had arrived.
On the surface of the water, five beams of Escape Light emerged and shot straight for the Netherworld Prison Suppression Array.
They were none other than the nun’s five other Demon Dao avatars.
Inside the Grand Array, the Dong Family Patriarch flew out with a group of Elders to intercept the five beams of Escape Light. The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce clash.
These five Demon Dao avatars had all cultivated the Nine Heavens Cold Ice Technique. Their Divine Techniques were astonishing, and they were in no way inferior to the Dong Family Elders.
The moment they clashed, an Early Life Talisman Stage Elder was caught off guard and killed on the spot.
In the Seven Kills Array, Fang Cheng and his fellow disciples were still slaying the endless hordes of Celestial Demons. Whenever someone’s Magical Power ran low, they would immediately swallow a pill to replenish it.
Meanwhile, Cai Li and the Elders from the other eight peaks were jointly dealing with the Third-stage Three-headed Celestial Demon, and none of them could spare any attention for anything else.
On the water mirror, the situation on Yinluo Island looked even grimmer.
The fiery light from the Red Sun Divine Tree grew ever stronger, pressing down hard on the Demon Light Smoke Net.
As the fiery light blasted it, the smoke net gradually disintegrated into tatters before dissipating completely.
In an instant, the Red Sun Divine Tree was already close to the Demon Light Sky Curtain.
Suddenly, the Red Sun Divine Tree’s brilliance flared magnificently. Myriad streams of fire rained down, and the Demon Light Smoke Net dissipated completely.
With a tremendous BOOM, the Demon Light Sky Curtain was forcefully pierced.
The leaves of the Red Sun Divine Tree transformed into thousands of giant, fiery blades, raining down like a meteor shower upon the Nine Peaks of Yinluo Island.
Atop the Nine Peaks, all sorts of colored lights flashed to intercept the fiery assault. For a time, the island was engulfed in fire; halls and Cave Mansions collapsed, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.
An unknown number of Outer Elders perished under the assault of the Fire Leaves.
Although the Demon Light Sky Curtain was still holding back the Red Sun Divine Tree and the Flame God Palace Elders in the Celestial Palace, it was powerless against these streams of fire from the leaves.
With one side gaining strength and the other weakening, the Demonic Light’s destruction was only a matter of time.
Seeing this, Fang Cheng couldn’t help but worry about Ye Yan on Demon Lion Peak.
The Yinluo Sect had been caught in a scheme. There were four battlefronts: the Earth Abyss, Ao Mountain Island, Sun Fugai, and the Supreme Elder. If even one of these could break free from its predicament, they could turn the tide for the Yinluo Sect and secure a chance of survival.
’But now, that seems rather difficult.’
Fang Cheng turned his head to look at the Three-Headed Celestial Demon in the Netherworld Prison Suppression Array. A vicious glint flashed in his eyes as killing intent surged within him.
He took out a stack of Snow Silkworm Paper and dripped his blood essence onto it. Then, he activated the Divine King Dream Spirit Secret Technique, refining the stack of paper in an instant.
