The Stars Beyond

Chapter 355: Slaying The Powerful

Qi Cheng Dao's complexion changed slightly as he turned around to see the golden head of the Blood God Ape falling to the ground, truly shocked. The battle had barely started, and already a head was lost?

With his path blocked, he clearly couldn't target Chen Yongjie anymore. In fact, Old Chen appeared calm, as if he was prepared, his expression unchanging.

"Fine, since you block my way, let's battle!" Qi Cheng Dao declared.

Putting himself in their shoes, he didn't believe he could stand alone against both the Blood God Ape and Qi Lian Dao. Such thoughts made him somewhat disheartened, involuntarily sighing.

"Who dares to contend, kill!" Chen Yongjie raised his sword, making his move. At this point, he had no issues facing transcendent beings of the eighth and ninth stages.

In an instant, four or five demons were slain, blood splattered everywhere, shocking others into retreating, not daring to recklessly assault anymore. Mainly because the Blood God Ape had suffered a major loss, just as he showcased his Yáo Emperor's body, only to be decapitated, causing their morale to plummet. At this moment, the Blood God Ape, covered in dazzling golden fur, stood rigidly in place, towering and magnificent like the sun, but silent, only roaring after a moment.

He had taken the field in his strongest battle form, only to be decapitated, a heavy blow for him. He first activated his Yáo Emperor bloodline, then displayed his law body, only to end in such a tragic fate. Deep down, he couldn't accept it, believing he had been careless, trapped in an unknown space, immobilized, which led to his decapitation. sword energy surged, filling the sky, the void interwoven with sword lights from Wang Xuan and Qi Cheng Dao, creating a chilling spectacle, dense with sword rain.

Qi Cheng Dao was forced back, reluctantly joining the fray. At this moment, there was no room for embarrassment; the priority was to eliminate the opponent. He realized profoundly that in this depleted era, those who could reach this level were incredibly unique. Most importantly, Wang Xuan had the capacity to suppress them at a lower realm! What kind of existence would such a person become once they grew? At the very least, they would be revered as a supreme ancestor!

Not just that, Qi Cheng Dao shifted his thoughts further, even calling out to Zhou Qinghuang, "Join us, help Ming Xi regain her body."

"I'll just watch." Zhou Qinghuang shook her head, truly astounded by the turn of events

The three top experts, with their remarkable origins, found themselves suppressed by someone of a lower realm, leaving everyone dumbfounded. Caution seemed like an understatement.

The Blood God Ape, covered in golden fur, shimmered instantly, as if engulfed in the blazing sun's flames, his murderous intent boundless. Enduring the intense pain, his four eyes on two heads glared furiously.

Suddenly, four golden beams shot from his eyes, clanging like celestial swords, swirling with strange runes, targeting Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan, unfazed, stood firm in the center, launching a counterattack with his Featherization Fist. His hands alone shattered the beams amidst the blinding light.

"Come on, let's join forces to take him down!" Qi Cheng Dao urged quickly, looking towards the offspring of the Demon Ancestor, himself unleashing a secret technique.

His forehead glowed, a sign of the Pure Yang Bone within, marked with traces of rules. If it were to fully mature, it would become a Dao Bone.

Otherwise, the ancestor of Celestial Immortals, Qi Teng, wouldn't have favored this descendant so much, dedicating himself to his cultivation for his boundless potential.

Qi Cheng Dao's forehead shone brilliantly, revealing a divine chart formed entirely from Pure Yang energy, adorned with runes and possessing immense deterrence.

"Wow, that's powerful, my soul almost destabilized!" someone exclaimed, feeling intimidated by Qi Cheng Dao's aura even from a distance.

Wang Xuan's eyes flickered with intricate patterns, swiftly weaving a net to lock down the space ahead.

With a bang, the so-called divine chart was torn apart in their fierce clash, like a precious ancient painting or a masterpiece ruthlessly destroyed by brute force.

Qi Cheng Dao grunted in pain, his forehead throbbing as a few drops of red and gold blood trickled down. Staggering back, he formed hand seals.

In this drained era, his Pure Yang Bone didn't give him an edge, unable to fully manifest the power of rules, leaving only remnants. He resorted to using the supreme techniques of the ancestor of Celestial Immortals.

Beside them, the offspring of the Demon Ancestor, Qi Lian Dao, finally made his move. He had been observing Wang Xuan for a short while, not to challenge immediately but to gauge how formidable Wang Xuan truly was. Feeling the weight of the situation, he commenced his full-force assault.

"Even in the bygone ancient eras, a human cultivator like you would have been considered an extraordinary monster. Sadly, myths decay, and you won't reach those heights. To survive this great calamity and endure the winter, I must seize the God-Slaying Banner from you!" the son of the Demon Ancestor, Qi Lian Dao, declared.

Then, his craziness fully erupted, with a grin on his face, his snow-white teeth gleaming, and his thick hair fluttering. He waved his hands, and a page of golden scripture appeared, unleashing dense ancient characters that pressed down towards Wang Xuan.

This wasn't a secret treasure, but the Demon Ancestor's heart sutra, capable of materialization, which he cast forth with a wave of his hand.

The air was filled with demonic light, and the characters from the golden scriptures flew out, each enlarging to the size of small hills, thundering and glowing as they plummeted down.

Wang Xuan stood undaunted, striking each massive character with his fists, causing loud booms that almost tore everyone's eardrums.

These demonic characters, each with a tangible presence as if forged from metal into small mountains, were vast and intimidating. Just the sight of them was enough to chill one's spine, and their actual power was even more terrifying. Some characters, upon hitting the ground, created bottomless pits and black crevices that spread far and wide.

All onlookers were astounded by such demonic script. Merely one character could crush ordinary transcendents, utterly leaving no room for resistance. With so many, who could withstand?

They couldn't help but admire the Demon Ancestor's offspring. With just one move, he employed a supreme technique, easily sweeping away numerous opponents.

However, it was Wang Xuan's performance that truly astounded the crowd. Standing in the midst of the battlefield, his fists glowing as if they were the mightiest weapons, he punched each of the flying ancient demonic characters, either deflecting them or causing them to explode.

For a moment, the demonic script disintegrated into energy flows, creating a storm of transcendental matter that swept across the battlefield. The ground collapsed where it passed, and nearby stone mountains crumbled like sandcastles hit by waves.

"Is he really human? Such strength in his physical body, destroying the sacred texts of the demons with his bare hands!" exclaimed a great demon, voice trembling with awe.

"Fine, you are indeed formidable. You managed to break through a page of scripture manifesting as magical energy instantly, but can you shatter an entire book of scriptures? If you win, I will concede," Qi Lian Dao shouted, his hair standing on end as his gaze sharpened, his will seemingly on the brink of madness.

Before him, an entire book of scriptures unfolded, still transforming into magic. Then, the sky was filled with golden pages fluttering down, each page possessing the overwhelming power seen previously.

At the same time, on each piece of scripture, a vague figure was seen sitting cross-legged. Was that a whiff of the Demon Ancestor's aura? It faintly illuminated a corner.

Seeing this, Chen Yongjie decisively took out the latest model energy cannon from a fragment of a blessed land, mounting it on his shoulder, ready to fire at any moment to support Wang Xuan, far more advanced than the energy cannon Zhou Qinghuang had.

Simultaneously, Qi Chengdao was also preparing, forming celestial ancestral seals!

The Blood God Ape, too, stood with its golden fur bristling, activating its ancestral blood and displaying the Demon Emperor's physical law, menacing and intimidating, ready to reveal the secret techniques of the Demon Emperor's hidden scriptures.

The three formidable experts all deployed their trump cards, launching a joint assault on Wang Xuan in a breathtaking spectacle. Spectators felt their hearts pounding like drums, their anxiety palpable as they fixed their gazes on the battleground. Time itself seemed to freeze at that moment, suffocatingly intense.

"Victory or defeat will soon be decided. Who will emerge stronger?"

"If Wang Xuan prevails, this battle will indeed immortalize him among the younger generation of cultivators."

Some communicated rapidly through their spiritual minds, too afraid to even breathe out loud, their attention locked on the field of battle.

"Suppress!" Qi Lian Dao roared. All the golden pages glowed brilliantly, as countless demonic script poured out, forming a vast array of attacking magic light.

Wang Xuan stood tall, showing no sign of fleeing. Facing such a terrifying strike, he remained calm, his body covered in luminous patterns.

Today, he hadn't even resorted to using a single magical treasure. He wanted to test the fruits of his cultivation, to quell the aggression of those who targeted and hunted him, or else there would be no end to it.

After all, even Buddha speaks of balance; behind the gentle gaze of a Bodhisattva, there also lies the furious eyes of a Vajra.

"Boom!"

Sword light soared to the heavens. From every pore of his body, beams of sword light burst forth, turning him into an unstoppable edge; he became a wheel of swords.

At this moment, his sword energy soared like a rainbow, like mist and clouds, like the vast and boundless ocean, elevating him into the air. He stood above the ground, charging into the golden pages, confronting the overwhelming script.

Now, he stood within the sword wheel, shining like the sun at noon, illuminating everything with sword light. This was a supreme technique from the Slash Dao Sword Scripture inscribed on the golden bamboo slip he practiced in the ethereal void while mining meteorites.

Wherever the sword wheel passed, nothing could withstand its might; all demonic sacred texts were cleaved apart.

As for the golden pages fluttering through the sky, the supreme scripture created by the Demon Ancestor, they too were slashed into pieces, incinerated, turning into ash that filled the air.

The Demon Ancestor's scripture, unable to materialize any longer, was obliterated by the Slash Dao Sword!

Puff, puff, puff!

Dozens, hundreds of sword lights flew from Wang Xuan, transformed into a sword wheel, piercing through Qi Lian Dao's body, nailing him to the ground, blood everywhere.

Anyone else would have died, yet Qi Lian Dao was still alive, even some wounds were healing.

"My lord!" Many demonic cultivators called out from afar, with some rushing over. As a direct descendant of the Demon Ancestor, Qi Lian Dao naturally had followers.

"Hmm?!" Wang Xuan instantly sensed something, his sword wheel glowed, directly extracting an object from Qi Lian Dao's flesh.

A wrinkled scroll, ancient in appearance and of a pale golden color, somewhat resembling the fabric of the Slaying God Flag, though far inferior in quality.

Wrapped within this scroll were three petals that appeared to be... divine medicine

Wang Xuan swiftly pocketed the item, standing aloft. Even as he collected it, he didn't pause, for two formidable foes were still attacking him. The dense sword aura of the spinning sword wheel allowed him brief flight, facing off against Qi Chengdao's celestial ancestor seal.

Boom!

The sword wheel shone brightly as Wang Xuan, like a golden sun crossing the sky, unleashed countless sharp sword beams, shattering Qi Chengdao's encompassing ancestor seals into oblivion, causing Qi Chengdao himself to be perforated with wounds, flung out in a spray of blood.

"I concede, the celestial marrow... is yours!" he bellowed, hurling a crystal towards the sword wheel, into the onslaught of sword energies.

Wang Xuan halted his sword, beckoned with his hand, and drew it over, inspecting it closely to confirm it indeed was a priceless treasure.

"I, your grandfather, will not submit. It's either you die or I perish!" roared the Blood Demon Ape, showing no signs of retreat. His body swelled in size, the Demon Emperor's body seemed to stretch the very fabric of space as he transformed into a hundred zhang tall colossus, demonic energy overwhelming, his dual heads and six arms charging forward, shaking the cosmos.

"For the sacred son, protect the way, let's kill him together!" The Blood Demon Ape's loyal followers, a portion of demonic cultivators, charged forward, fearless of death, joining in the assault.

Wang Xuan, with tranquil supremacy, looked down from above. His body transformed into a sword wheel, shining like a radiant sun, his dazzling sword energy piercing through the air. He flew into the fray, where every demonic cultivator attacking was slain by his sword energy, a massacre that rained blood and mud.

Even the Blood Demon Ape was no exception. Despite exerting his full strength and displaying the vast Demon Emperor's body, he couldn't withstand the might of the sword wheel.

A thousand beams of sword light shone, piercing through him, a blinding sky-reaching sword energy decapitated him, his colossal body split into hundreds of pieces, falling amidst a mist
