Chapter 411: Chapter 57: Myriad Demon Blood and Bones Forge This Path, The Great Reckoning

Amid the magnificent chaos,

the giant’s descending foot began to rise. Beneath it, the young man grew larger, and larger...

Divine Technique: Celestial and Earthly Laws.

By the time he stopped, the giant—once as large as a star—now only reached the young man’s waist.

"Break."

The young man held the Coffin and Casket aloft in his left hand. A broken Ancient Seal materialized in his right, and he flipped it over!

As the Ancient Seal flipped, it was as if the heavens themselves were falling. Infinite divine light erupted, and every single sliver of it expanded into a river of stars!

The brilliant river of stars crushed down. The giant, formed from the battle formation of billions of members of the Demon Race, crumbled and disintegrated, just like those teetering star systems!!

The Great Grade Minor Saints, who had been sitting and watching everything with amusement, all turned pale. They shot to their feet in unison, their eyes flashing with shock.

The Dragon Horn Minor Saint narrowed his eyes.

’That’s a Great Artifact—one at the Immortal level, at least... Is this what he’s relying on?’

After a pause, he sneered.

"If that’s all he has, it’s not enough. Not nearly enough... Kill!"

Brilliant light erupted from the nearly one hundred Minor Saints simultaneously. More than twenty Great Grade Minor Saints also soared into the air, taking positions in all eight directions and surrounding the young man, who was now larger than an ordinary star!

The next instant, the demon tide churned and surged forward.

Countless Great Slaughter Techniques erupted, all slashing toward the young man!

But he merely held the Coffin and Casket aloft, lowered his gaze, and sighed softly.

"Such ants, how dare you attempt an act of such finality?"

"Assaulting the pass... Is the Celestial Great Wall Pass something the likes of you can assail?"

As his voice fell, Lu Xuan’s eyes turned ice-cold. He released his hand, letting the Heaven-Flipping Seal fall, then immediately formed a Dharma Seal to execute a great technique!

Divine Technique: Flowers Bloom in an Instant.

He looked like a Buddha plucking a flower, but his face held neither compassion nor wrath—only a calm that was terrifyingly flat.

And then, as the flower-plucking gesture was completed, the countless Slaughter Techniques rushing toward him began to decay rapidly, as if worn away by the currents of Time and Years.

By the time they reached him, they had been reduced to a gentle breeze that failed to even stir the corner of his robes!

Some of the Great Grade Minor Saints’ faces changed. The one wearing a crown focused his gaze, gathering thousands of starlights. Each ray of starlight transformed into a longsword and rained down with a roar!

The starlight was eternal; even as Years flowed past under Flowers Bloom in an Instant, it remained steady and unwavering.

But Lu Xuan paid it no mind. He continued forming seals, and a Gloomy Lamp appeared in his hand. He raised it above his head and uttered a soft command:

"Go."

The flame of the Gloomy Lamp suddenly surged, burning with a grand vision of weapons and slaughter. It then rolled outward in all directions. Wherever the flame passed, the eternal starlight was annihilated. Some of the True Immortal-level Minor Saints were too slow to dodge; caught by the flame, they were incinerated into nothingness before they could even scream!

Lu Xuan placed the Gloomy Lamp upon the Coffin and Casket. Its dim light spilled down, ensuring the Bronze Coffin would not be damaged in the battle. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

After confirming this, a great killing intent erupted in his eyes, and he completely unleashed himself.

"Heaven and Earth Inversion."

"Flowers Bloom in an Instant."

"Dao Generating One."

One after another, Divine Killing Skills were deployed. The Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword, the Jade Void Glazed Lamp, and the Heaven-Flipping Seal emerged in succession, each erupting with divine light that illuminated this region of the starry sky!

The demon tide was shattered with a roar. Great Demons and Demon Kings were reduced to corpses, while True Immortal-level Minor Saints also bled out, their bodies strewn across the void!

Lu Xuan continued his slaughter. He struck a Great Grade Minor Saint with one hand as Immortal Slaying Sword Qi erupted. The Great Grade cried out in agony before being decapitated!

It all happened too fast. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the army of billions of demons was torn to pieces. Demon corpses piled up before him, forming a road of bones. Many Minor Saints also lay dead, all having met a violent end!

The crown-wearing Great Grade’s face changed, and he shrieked:

"This man’s Divine Techniques are terrifying! Don’t let him pick us off one by one! Band together and defend against him as one!"

His voice had barely faded when Lu Xuan noticed him. He extended a finger and pointed. Immortal Slaying Sword Qi coiled around his fingertip.

Over a dozen Great Grade Minor Saints joined forces to resist, but they were no match for that single finger. The crown-wearing Great Grade Minor Saint cried out in alarm and tried to flee, but he was enveloped by killing intent. The Immortal Slaying Sword Qi swept down and twisted gently.

CRACK!

Another corpse drifted in the starry sky!

"Five Thunders."

Lu Xuan murmured. What he was using was not the Five Thunders True Method, but the Divine Technique of wielding the Five Thunders from the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirits!

"Suppression of Demons, Slaying Evil, Evil Slayer, Demon Slayer, Broken Ghost."

The Five Thunders erupted at once, thundering loudly and bathing the entire Great Wall in a white light. With the peal of thunder, five charred corpses of Great Grade Minor Saints, each as vast as a star, plummeted down, becoming another section of the road of bones!

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight Great Grade Minor Saints had fallen. The remaining ones were scared witless. The Dragon Horn Minor Saint’s eyes turned red as he roared:

"Impossible... Impossible!"

He revealed his true form—a True Dragon. He let out a sky-shaking dragon’s roar and brought his Dragon Claw down. Treasure light gathered upon it, each strand like a galaxy!

Lu Xuan sidestepped slightly. The surging galaxy scraped past his body and poured into the depths of the starry sky, extinguishing vast swaths of stars.

He, however, said calmly:

"The Dragon Race? The Human Race and the Dragon Race once forged a pact. Have you broken it?"

"A pact?" The True Dragon was taken aback.

Lu Xuan said indifferently:

"A blood pact. You don’t know of it?"

As he spoke, he pointed a finger and triggered the blood pact. The True Dragon let out a miserable howl, curling up and groveling as if about to kneel!

It coughed up mouthfuls of blood and shrieked:

"I am a True Dragon! How dare you humiliate me like this! If the Ancient Dragon King returns one day, he will surely suppress and kill you!"

"The Dragon King?"

Lu Xuan said indifferently:

"Even the Ancestral Dragon would greet me with courtesy."

With that, he fully detonated the blood pact. The True Dragon exploded inch by inch. Before its death, it traced back through its bloodline and saw the scene of the blood pact’s creation. It saw the Dragon King tremble and the Ancestral Dragon bow its head!

"This..."

the True Dragon said, stunned.

"This is impossible."

A chill rose in its heart, and a sense of horror filled its entire being. Then, its vision went dark. Its life was extinguished, and its corpse lay there in the void.

Lu Xuan continued his slaughter. He had never killed on such a massive scale, yet now he did, just as he had once said.

"The path before me is destined to be filled with bones."

One Great Grade Minor Saint after another wailed in despair. Whether they fought to the death or tried to flee, they all ultimately bled out under the young man’s palm, their giant corpses added to his road of bones!

The young man forged ahead, slaughtering all the way, until the billions of the Demon Race were all dead, until all the Great Grade and True Immortal Minor Saints were corpses at his feet!

This Star Domain finally fell silent.

TOK, TOK, TOK...

Countless people on the Great Wall stared blankly as the magnificent young man, carrying the coffin, walked along the starry road forged from bones and into the vast cosmos, until he disappeared from sight.

And even after the young man was no longer visible, the sounds of earth-shattering slaughter and miserable howls echoed through the starry sky for a full seven days.

The starry road forged from bones also grew longer, and longer.

"Today, the reckoning."

On the eighth day, a calm voice sounded from the depths of the starry sky. Amidst the heaven-and-earth-shaking proclamation, torrents of Demon Blood dyed countless stars red!

On the tenth day, Lu Xuan had carved a straight path, punching through countless demon territories and slaughtering his way to the Cosmic Edge Wilderness. The starry road of bones now stretched across the Great Cosmos.

Beyond the Cosmic Edge Wilderness, indistinct figures flickered.
