Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1550 - 385: Total Annihilation in One Battle
Chapter 1550: Chapter 385: Total Annihilation in One Battle
At this moment, Origin Island was showered with ten thousand falling paths, filled with extraordinary phenomena, a dazzling spectacle.
No one expected that at this critical moment, a supreme being from the Primordial Realm would actually make a breakthrough.
This was indeed very surprising.
"It’s the Tianhuo Old Man, it’s him!" Soon, numerous supreme beings recognized him.
The expressions of these individuals changed dramatically as they found it hard to imagine that an old man, nearing the end of his lifespan, could break through to the next realm due to the opportunity provided by Origin Island.
"The Origin Stele is truly extraordinary," murmured the Tianhuo Old Man, who had been single-mindedly comprehending the stele from the start, paying no attention to the battle between Gu Chen and the other unparalleled beings from the Taoxu Road realm.
In the end, he managed to break through without any surprises.
Amidst the heavenly rain of light and mystical phenomena, the laws descended and entered the body of the Tianhuo Old Man. His aged visage was visibly rejuvenating, youth restored.
His grey and sparse hair regained its lustre, becoming thick and black once more.
The wrinkles on his face rapidly disappeared, his withered skin became rosy and full, and his hunched back straightened increasingly until, after not too long, a vigorous middle-aged man emerged at the spot.
A group of supreme beings looked at the Tianhuo Old Man with envious gazes, wishing it was they who had made the breakthrough.
"What a marvelous feeling," the Tianhuo Old Man said softly with a smile. At this point, light shimmered from the Origin Stele, transforming into a brand that entered his body.
"Innate divine ability!" A being from the Taoxu Road realm frowned slightly, noticing this fact.
The Origin Stele was indeed mystical; as long as a cultivator comprehended it to a certain extent, they would be illuminated by the Origin Light, and granted innate abilities akin to those of primordial deities from the creation of heaven and earth.
Of course, the most outstanding was Gu Chen, who not only gained a Law Body but also nurtured the Origin Sea that bears the cosmos within.
Even so, the achievements of the Tianhuo Old Man were extraordinary. Not only had he broken through to the Taoxu Road realm, but he also acquired a fundamental divine ability, ranking him just behind Gu Chen.
"From now on, I am the peerless pinnacle of the upper worlds," declared the Tianhuo Old Man as he stood up, stretching his limbs and ingesting all the surrounding lights into his body, absorbing them completely.
"This old man has always been frugal; my friends, please don’t mind it," he said with a smile.
Gu Chen observed the Tianhuo Old Man, whose overall strength had improved further after achieving grand completion in the Primordial Realm. Consequently, his perception also became sharper.
At this moment, he sensed a thick malice and a trace of coldness emanating from the Tianhuo Old Man.
"He comes from the Sacred Sect!" Gu Chen’s expression shook as he made this judgment.
The Tianhuo Old Man smiled and met Gu Chen’s gaze. Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Such keen perception."
Clearly, he realized that Gu Chen had uncovered his background.
But now, he was unafraid.
After breaking through to the Taoxu Road realm, the Tianhuo Old Man’s intricately laid plans were naturally ready to unfold.
"Where are the Sacred Envoys of the Sacred Sect!" declared the Tianhuo Old Man with an exhalation, openly revealing his identity in the public square.
"Hm?!"
All beings of the Taoxu Road realm, along with those from the Primordial Realm, were greatly shocked.
The next moment, eight figures dashed out from the crowd, advancing closely to the Tianhuo Old Man, all at the grand completion of the Primordial Realm!
"Indeed, only these individuals remain," the Tianhuo Old Man remarked, slightly nodding his head. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"Are you, the First Sacred Envoy?" asked one of the Primordial Realm supreme beings in a low voice.
"Correct," nodded the Tianhuo Old Man. With his acknowledgement, another disturbance was sparked on the spot.
"What, the Tianhuo Old Man is the Sacred Sect’s First Sacred Envoy?!" The multitude of supreme beings burst into an uproar.
Everything that occurred today, whether it was Gu Chen facing many from the Taoxu Road realm alone, displaying his formidable strength, or the Tianhuo Old Man’s breakthrough and revelation of his identity, had shocked them to the core.
"The Sacred Sect?" A peerless figure from the Taoxu Road realm directly spoke out sternly: "Scoundrels, state your purpose!"
And the masters of Taoxu Road, the leader of the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, and other incarnations at the Taoxu Road realm, all looked at the Tianhuo Old Man and his nine people with cold eyes, ready to act.
Seeing this, the Tianhuo Old Man was not the least bit flustered but instead grinned and said, "Purpose? It’s quite simple, since you want to know, I’ll tell you—by the Sacred Lord’s command, to eradicate you all!"
"Such arrogance!" The Lord of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace Douyuan scoffed.
Even though the Tianhuo Old Man had broken through to the Taoxu Road realm, Douyuan was a long-established peerless being, of course unafraid.
Not to mention, his true self had reached the late stages of the Taoxu Road realm, possessing immense strength.
The Tianhuo Old Man was also unconcerned, saying with a smile, "You Taoxu Road realm beings are mere incarnations. I don’t care about you. The Sacred Lord has his own judgment regarding you; it’s not my place to intervene."
Afterward, he no longer paid them any mind and instead said to the eight people beside him, "Set up the formation!"
"Yes!"
The eight Primordial Realm grand completion supreme beings looked exhilarated, each taking out a black stone from their bosoms and tossing them into the sky.
"Don’t let him succeed!" The Taoxu Road master frowned; a bad premonition prompted him to take immediate action.
"Too late," said the Tianhuo Old Man with a faint smile. Everything was already prepared; by the moment he had broken through to the Taoxu Road realm, it was too late to stop anything.
He too threw a black stone, followed by the lightning of myriad demonic lights, as nine demonic stones congregated in mid-air, exuding dark radiance. Amidst the gleaming darkness, billions of filaments intertwined and spread, materializing from the canopy of heaven and completely enveloping the place.
"The Ten Thousand Demons Formation is complete!" the Tianhuo Old Man formed a seal and then murmured lowly.
"It’s a technique of the Netherworld," knitted Gu Chen’s brows, sensing an aura similar to the Purgatory Demon Diagram used against him by the elders of the Sacred Sect before.
"The rules here have been overturned and altered!" The peerless beings of the Taoxu Road realm furrowed their brows, realizing this truth.
"This is power belonging to the Netherworld; we are being assaulted!" an alarmed supreme being exclaimed, whose cultivation was slightly weaker. As the demonic qi spread, his body became pale and enfeebled.
"Well, this is the strategy I’ve prepared for all of you. How does it feel, unrivaled beings?" Tianhuo Old Man was brimming with confidence, as he looked at Taoxu Road’s master and other eminent figures from the Asking Dao Realm.
At this moment, their expressions were solemn. The infiltration of the Holy Gate’s envoys made Taoxu Road’s master and others think of many possibilities.
Among them, there were certainly individuals from the opposing forces!
Of course, this all needed to be dealt with later. What’s most important now was how to cope with the current situation.
All of these Asking Dao Realm individuals were merely incarnations, and losing them was not a big deal; their strength could be restored with time.
However, the mighty beings of the Primordial Realm were in a dire situation, all being the core strength of the higher realm. If all were to perish, the higher realm would be finished, with an utter vacuum left in the Primordial Realm!
And this was precisely the goal of the Holy Gate’s scheme.
The reason why Tianhuo Old Man was so pleased, his face full of smiles, was simply because he could devour all the mighty beings present, which would be of tremendous benefit to him.
"Especially this young man." Tianhuo Old Man’s gaze shifted as he looked at Gu Chen and said, "The origin of all worlds, I’ll be taking it."
Afterward, he glanced at the ancestors of the Golden Roc Clan and others, saying with a smile, "Thank you all for making a move and allowing me to grasp his trump cards."
Had it not been for this, Gu Chen’s Yang God body would have appeared out of the blue, surely catching Tianhuo Old Man by surprise.
"Let’s begin."
The next moment, at his command, the remaining eight envoys of the Holy Gate obediently followed orders.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In an instant, the Ten Thousand Demons Array was activated, demonic shadows were manifested, and the power of the underworld’s rules pervaded the area, turning this place into an existence akin to a forbidden zone for the lifeforms of the higher realms!
"Here, I am the one and only absolute king." Tianhuo Old Man soared into the sky, his eyes half-closed, feeling the unprecedented strong power surging within him.
"Today, all of you will die!" Then, he lowered his head and looked at Gu Chen and others on the ground, revealing an incredibly ferocious smile.
The moment a beast bares its fangs is a sign that it’s about to indulge in bloodshed.
"Ahh..."
As expected, the very next moment, a scream rang out; a mid-Primordial Realm mighty being met a violent death, devoured by the demonic shadows!
"Make your move!"
The complexion of Taoxu Road’s master changed dramatically, and he shouted loudly, hastily engaging the so-called Ten Thousand Demons Array.
"It’s useless. Everything had already been determined after my breakthrough to the Asking Dao Realm," Tianhuo Old Man said with a ferocious smile, completely unconcerned, looking on as Taoxu Road’s master and the leader of the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, among a few Asking Dao Realm experts, made their move.
At this moment, he opened his mouth slightly, and with a gentle exhale, a round but somewhat dim fire-red bead appeared.
"A Dao Weapon?!"
The expressions of Taoxu Road’s master and other eminent Asking Dao Realm figures were shaken as they recognized the grade of this fire-red bead.
"A Dao Weapon, it’s actually a Dao Weapon, how does he have a Dao Weapon?"
At this moment, the mighty beings of the Primordial Realm despaired, a look of defeat spreading across their faces.
"Don’t give up, although it’s a Dao Weapon, it’s only incomplete!" Taoxu Road’s master’s voice spread, comforting the mighty beings.
"Even so, that’s more than enough." Tianhuo Old Man smiled, the overwhelming power of the Ten Thousand Demons Array, combined with his own strength, and an incomplete Dao Weapon, was enough to handle the outcome at hand.
Moreover, what made the Ten Thousand Demons Array different from others was that it was a treasure personally refined by a Demon Emperor of the underworld and bestowed upon the Saint Lord.
The underworld rules contained within were very powerful, capable of isolating all heavenly paths, and given that Taoxu Road’s master and other Asking Dao Realm beings were merely incarnations, their strength was significantly weakened on the spot.
"Let’s begin by clearing out these obnoxious Asking Dao Realm individuals." Tianhuo Old Man said.
Following that, the fire-red bead and the Ten Thousand Demons Array, under his control, burst with exceedingly formidable strength, turning into a raging storm that engulfed the incarnations of the various Asking Dao Realm beings.
"Cutting off all paths, demonic energy invades; these are mere incarnations with only 30% of their real strength, I would like to see how long you can last." Tianhuo Old Man spoke unhurriedly; he was in no rush.
At this moment, Taoxu Road’s master and other Asking Dao Realm figures had solemn expressions and exerted their full strength to fight back, but to no avail.
From outside, the painful screams and low growls of the mighty Primordial Realm beings occasionally reached them; in this environment, they found it difficult to resist.
As for the ancestors of the Golden Roc Clan, such as Jinchu, and the leader of the Fire Sect, seeing this situation, they promptly gave up this incarnation and withdrew their power.
"A wise decision." Tianhuo Old Man nodded slightly; this way, it would also save the power of the Ten Thousand Demons Array.
"No matter what, we must get Gu Chen out of here!" At this time, Taoxu Road’s master glanced at Gu Chen by his side.
The leader of the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan and other unengaged Asking Dao Realm beings nodded. They had all witnessed Gu Chen’s strength and talent, and he absolutely couldn’t fall here.
At this moment, Gu Chen appeared calm as he observed the countless flickering demonic shadows around him, without exception, all of them were heavenly demons.
In the meantime, one by one the Asking Dao Realm beings were targeted and had their powers eroded; others, seeing their situation as hopeless, voluntarily dispersed their incarnations.
These were all individuals from the Asking Dao Realm who had previously made a move against Gu Chen.
As for those who hadn’t acted, they were all trying their best to resist and protect the Primordial Realm beings present.
It could be said that the originally not-insignificant number of Asking Dao Realm experts, due to Tianhuo Old Man’s intervention, were wiped out in one battle, leaving only a few including Taoxu Road’s master and the leader of the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan.
The so-called Ten Thousand Demons Array was indeed extraordinary.
"Don’t rush, it will soon be your turn." Tianhuo Old Man looked at Gu Chen, who was trapped by the array and stood beside Taoxu Road’s master, and said with a faint smile.
His gaze toward Gu Chen was burning with desire, as if he was looking at a priceless treasure, wishing he could devour Gu Chen alive.
And in fact, that was exactly his intention.
From the moment Tianhuo Old Man arrived at the Origin Stele, his goal had undeniably been Gu Chen!
