Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 650 - 358 Female Demon
This strike only provoked the ferocity of the Drought Demon, who charged forward with a furious howl. Lu Yu, however, furrowed his brows; this Drought Demon was exuding an eeriness from all over, and its strength far exceeded his expectations. It did not seem to be an opponent without foundation.
The moment his thoughts shifted, the sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and a violent wind rose, sweeping the fierce flames that rolled unstoppably between heaven and earth. The entire world was dominated by the red and black hues.

The intensity of the flames surpassed Lu Yu's expectations, but he was not worried. Continuing to cast spells, a torrential downpour began to fall, dousing the flames and causing the surging, merciless fire to gradually weaken.
The howling wind and driving rain pelted the Drought Demon, causing a look of agony to appear on that beautiful face. She raised her head to gaze at the dark clouds shrouding the sky and the whistling winds, and suddenly shouted hoarsely, "Master Wind, Master Yu."
Immediately after, her face revealed an extremely angry expression. Consequently, the flames reacted, surging violently with enough force to cook seas and burn mountains, soaring up to the sky. The fierce blaze even penetrated the dark clouds, and a terrifying heat wave swept in all directions, completely evaporating the moisture in the air.
The Drought Demon, with blood-red eyes, stared dead at Lu Yu's face. With sharp fingers aimed straight at his face, Lu Yu drew his sword and slashed, unleashing fearsome Sword Qi that swept in all directions and cleared the surrounding flames.
Endless Sword Qi enveloped the Drought Demon, and a terrible sound arose; it was the noise of the Sword Qi slashing against her body.
Yet, the body of the Drought Demon was as solid as iron. The Sword Qi clanged against her without causing any substantial damage. Instead, it triggered a counterattack from the Fortune and Destiny surrounding her body, and that phoenix-shaped human Fortune and Destiny charged towards Lu Yu.
Behind Lu Yu, the spectral image of a grand hall appeared with a voice that seemed to belong to a Sage echoing through the heavens. Even the powerful phoenix had to bow before this sacred edifice.
The resounding voice from the Human Path seemed to bring back some sanity to the Drought Demon. Her blood-red eyes gradually cleared, and she looked towards Lu Yu not far away, softly asking, "Who are you?"
This voice was unlike the previous hoarseness, but instead was crisp and touching, refreshing to the ears.
"And who are you?" Lu Yu hurriedly asked, but as soon as the Drought Demon had spoken, she fell back into madness. Her eyes flared with red light as she launched a frenzied attack on Lu Yu.
Lu Yu stepped back softly, and with a light flick of his sleeve, the Treasure Vase flew out, striking the Drought Demon on the head. A loud boom was heard, and she was in fact knocked to the ground by the vase.
With a thought, the Treasure Vase radiated endless brilliance, and the power of merit burst forth, attempting to suppress the Drought Demon.
"Roar!" The Drought Demon roared to the sky, sprouting massive bat wings from her back, displaying her sharp fangs, and exuding a fearsome aura. She actually managed to push back the suppression of the Treasure Vase with brute force.
Lu Yu raised his treasured sword, and it was as though the Milky Way descended from the Nine Heavens, flooding the Drought Demon's figure. Endless Sword Qi swept through the world, and even Liu Qingyun and others, who were watching from a distance, could faintly feel the cold Sword Qi scraping painfully against their faces.
The Drought Demon roared and screamed in anger, running around aimlessly like a headless fly. However, with terrifying Sword Qi surrounding her on all sides, where could she run? The all-destroying Sword Qi carried the aura of annihilation, constantly striking her body, and even her tough exterior began to show signs of damage.
Gradually, blood began to flow, sizzling on the ground as it fell, like lava.
Just as the Drought Demon seemed unable to hold on any longer, a light suddenly shone from her body. An ancient character for "Chase" suddenly appeared on her forehead. Lu Yu looked closely and saw that it was an ancient character.
Terrible Fortune and Destiny gushed from the character, transforming into a True Dragon that roared to the heavens. However, this True Dragon of Fortune and Destiny did not attack Lu Yu, but instead firmly protected the Drought Demon beneath it.
Sighing softly, Lu Yu said, "Inscribed by the Emperor himself, it truly is you."
Having said this, he withdrew his Divine Skills and mounted the clouds towards Lu Xun's camp, leaving behind the frenzied Drought Demon who continued to howl in place. The golden True Dragon of the human race protected her beneath it, preventing her from leaving and others from harming her.
When he descended from the clouds before the camp, Liu Qingyun and the others had already come to meet him. From afar, they had watched in awe of the earth-shattering scene, and many were still not recovered from the shock.
Previously, they thought Divine Spirits were mere legends, but now the battle between Immortal and Demon was before their eyes. Many felt as though they had lived their lives in vain until now, and they could only regard Lu Yu with reverence; he was a true Immortal with the power to move mountains and overturn seas.
"Sir, what of the Drought Demon?" Liu Qingyun asked with concern. As a cultivator, unlike Lu Xun and other mortal beings, he had seen everything clearly.
Lu Yu had the opportunity to kill the Drought Demon but ultimately held back, which suggested there was information unknown to him; thus, he inquired further.
"The Drought Demon is unharmed. She is protected by the True Dragon of the Human Path, and on her forehead is the personal inscription of the Emperor. She must not be killed," Lu Yu said softly.
"Has sir recognized her?"
Liu Qingyun's question arose because after Lu Yu's return, his mood was clearly lower, indicating he knew of the Drought Demon. However, Liu Qingyun was unaware of the connection between his master and the Drought Demon.
"If I'm not mistaken, she must be the daughter of Huangdi of our human race. Back when Huangdi battled Chi You, Master Wind and Master Yu sided with Chi You, putting the Emperor at a disadvantage. It was she who, disregarding her safety and fighting valiantly in a woman's body against two Divine Spirits, ultimately secured Huangdi's victory. However, as a result, she fell into madness and became the world's first Drought Demon," Lu Yu spoke with a tone of regret.
