Chapter 148: Chapter 122: Nascent Divine Technique, Covering the Sky with a Single Hand

Outside Yangzhou.

WHOOSH!

The sky filled with the spreading stench of blood.

Heaven and Earth grew dim, without a single trace of light.

A colossal insect of immeasurable size slowly appeared in the firmament, blotting out the sky and sun!

As it gradually absorbed the bloody, demonic aura,

its body slowly shrank, until it only took up a hundred li of land!

BOOM!

A boundless pressure suddenly ran rampant!

It crashed to the ground with a resounding tremor that spread to the ends of the earth.

In that instant.

Heaven and Earth shattered!

The ground for hundreds of li around caved in, sinking dozens of zhang.

An immense cloud of dust, like a mushroom cloud, shot into the sky.

"Flesh and blood... I need flesh and blood... It’s not enough..."

A blood-red light emanated from the giant insect’s body as it suddenly charged toward Yangzhou!

It could sense a great deal of high-quality flesh and blood there, enough to completely restore its body!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Its speed was incredible, covering ten li in an instant.

Everywhere it passed, it left a trail of unstoppable destruction, plowing a massive trench ten thousand zhang wide and dozens of zhang deep!

RUMBLE—

Every step it took created a thunderous roar loud enough to rupture eardrums!

In just a few moments,

it had smashed through mountains and leveled great rivers to reach the first human-inhabited city within the borders of Yangzhou.

The people living in this city had been unable to flee to Dragon Tiger Mountain, widely recognized as the safest place in the world.

It simply couldn’t hold any more people.

So,

they could only remain here, clinging to a meager existence.

Fortunately, many disciples from various Sects and Noble Families were also here, which had allowed them to survive in this apocalyptic world until now.

However, at that very moment,

they suddenly heard a sonic boom that sounded like a dragon’s cry mixed with a Fierce Beast’s roar.

Upon hearing this sound, all the common people felt as if their bodies were about to explode. Their heads throbbed with splitting pain, and they collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony.

Even the Cultivators stationed at the city’s edge began bleeding from all seven orifices.

They raised their heads in a daze, only to see a monster of unknown height and width appear before them.

The monster had nine heads, each resembling that of an ant.

At this moment,

all nine of the monster’s heads opened their cavernous maws, revealing sharp fangs. As they opened their mouths, it was as if a reverse hurricane suddenly began to rage!

Everything within the city—including soil, rocks, flowers, trees, and even people—was swept up and sent flying toward the monster’s heads.

Torn apart!

Devoured!

Annihilated!

Boundless terror descended in an instant!

The powerful suction was boundless, like a torrent reversing its flow to rush toward the heavens.

Even Cultivators at the Tribulation Crossing Realm were utterly powerless to resist and were dragged away!

’The... the Celestial Demon! The Celestial Demon has revived!’

All the Cultivators felt a wave of despair, and they stopped struggling altogether.

Beneath a Celestial Demon, all living things perish!

Unless one becomes a Dao Realm expert, they are nothing but food for a Celestial Demon!

Just as all the common people and Cultivators in the city were about to be sucked into the Celestial Demon’s mouths—

BOOM!

A brilliant ray of light suddenly tore through the sky, illuminating the dim Heaven and Earth.

The next instant,

a Tai Chi Diagram materialized between Heaven and Earth, forming a celestial chasm that blocked the path between the Celestial Demon and all living beings!

The terrifying suction force and the Tai Chi Diagram collided violently.

In the firmament, massive, terrifying ripples spread out, and Space itself warped into wave-like folds, looking as if it might shatter at any moment!

On the ground below, mountains crumbled and cities were obliterated. It was as if a thousand earth dragons had turned over, carving massive chasms into the land!

The entire world seemed to collapse and break apart!

The earth-shattering collision lasted but a moment!

All anyone could see was...

...the line dividing yin and yang on the Tai Chi Diagram suddenly transform into a sky-shaking Divine Sword. Wreathed in an incomparably cold and tyrannical aura, it slashed toward the Celestial Demon!

CLANG!

An indescribable power erupted from the sharp sword!

It raged forth like an erupting volcano, a roaring tsunami, and the thundering of Stars!

"SCREEE!"

The Celestial Demon let out a thunderous shriek.

For the sword had pierced its body, releasing a massive, billowing mist of blood.

It roared in fury, as if trying to shake the very Stars from the firmament!

However, the next moment,

a soft rebuke echoed from the heavens.

"Insolent!"

The voice rang out like a bronze bell, echoing unceasingly for a hundred, even a thousand li!

The sound waves pulsed, seemingly imbued with a special Magic Power. Like the morning sun, they swept away all traces of gloom!

It even suppressed the Celestial Demon’s terrifying roar!

A calm and steadying aura suddenly spread out, enveloping everyone.

Everyone felt the fear in their hearts vanish without a trace.

Infinite hope for survival welled up in their hearts!

WHOOSH—

As the winds surged across the sky, a figure descended from above. Clad in a Daoist Robe, he stood between the Celestial Demon and all living beings.

Immediately after,

nine more figures appeared like fleeting shadows, hovering in the air around the Celestial Demon!

They seemed to have the Celestial Demon completely surrounded.

"The... the Celestial Master! It’s Celestial Master Wang! He’s come to save us!"

Everyone looked at the figure in the Daoist Robe floating midair, their eyes filling with tears of gratitude as they all knelt on the ground.

Wang Xiao glanced at the common folk below, shook his head slightly, and gave a light wave of his hand.

In an instant.

The Power of the Earth Veins began to surge wildly.

The entire ground began to fly backward continuously, as if someone were moving it.

The common people standing on the ground were all transported a thousand li away!
