Chapter 39: The Sword Slashes the Demon Emperor
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Qingzhou’s attack was so powerful it shocked the Peak Lord of Crimson Flame Peak and the Xuantian Holy Maiden.
Even though Li Qingzhou’s true cultivation base was only in the Mid Stage of Vision Realm, he was able to withstand the attack of a Demon Emperor, Meng Jiuxiao, and Meng Jiuxiao’s Demon Blood Cauldron.
Such a result was unimaginable to them!
Meng Jiuxiao’s face turned slightly pale and his pupils suddenly constricted.
Such a boundless sword intent was something that ordinary powerful warriors couldn’t possess. If that sword touched his body, it would be enough to threaten his life!
“What a waste. If he ran faster, he could have just shaken them off!” Ye Chen shook his head and sighed.
Ye Chen could tell that Li Qingzhou didn’t rely on his own strength to take on the Demon Emperor head-on. Instead, he used the boundless Lifeless Sword Intent that he had absorbed from the Lifeless Sword Tomb. And it was only with the fusion of the Supreme Sword Bone and the Lifeless Sword that he had managed to activate the boundless Lifeless Sword Intent to its limit.
This kind of Lifeless Sword Intent was not something that Li Qingzhou had harnessed on his own. He had only stored it in the Supreme Sword Bone for the time being. Once it was used up, it would be gone. It was basically a consumable item.
After this attack, the ocean of Lifeless Sword Intent that Li Qingzhou had gotten from the Lifeless Sword Tomb had been completely used up and he would not be able to use that amazing sword attack anymore.
This attack had been truly wasted on the Demon Blood Cauldron!
Meanwhile, Li Qingzhou was panting heavily. His aura started to destabilize but he quickly threw a pill into his mouth and his aura quickly recovered.
“Kid, I’ll definitely kill you!”
Meng Jiuxiao gnashed his teeth. After thinking for a moment, he was certain that the Lifeless Sword Intent that had erupted from that attack was not Li Qingzhou’s. The surrounding area was starting to be filled with the strange vision of a demon’s prison as a black streak of light charged toward Li Qingzhou.
At that moment, Zi Menghan waved her hand and a pitch-black cloud hundreds of meters in size appeared out of thin air. The cloud was exceptionally thick and heavy as it became covered in purple lightning. The sound of thunder followed faintly, reminding one of going through a tribulation during cultivation.
With an earth-shattering roar, a streak of purple lightning that was as thick as a water tank streaked dazzlingly towards Meng Jiuxiao’s head.
“Heavenly Tribulation?”
Meng Jiuxiao’s expression changed. He stopped mid-air and quickly took out his Demon Blood Cauldron to defend his head.
The purple lightning struck the Demon Blood Cauldron, causing the blood-colored demon sea within to shake violently. The entire Demon Blood Cauldron shook nonstop.
Meng Jiuxiao’s face was gloomy. The purple lightning just now wasn’t a real Heavenly Tribulation, but it still had a power similar to one, so he didn’t dare to be careless.
Since breaking through to Ten Thousand Spirit Realm, Zi Menghan could control multiple True Spirits of the Great Dao at the same time, allowing her to access the power of Heaven and Earth to increase her power drastically.
“I will help you kill him!”
Demon Emperor Qingli shouted as he took out the Illusory Heart Golden Bell that let out a series of crisp and sweet demonic sounds as it shot toward Ye Chen and the other two.
At the same time, Demon Emperor Qingli turned into a blood-colored light and rushed into the distance.
He escaped!
“Die, Demon!”
The Peak Lord of Crimson Flame Peak finally arrived. He once again took out the ancient bronze lamp as its flames split into nine parts and surrounded Meng Jiuxiao. The terrifying heat instantly burned the ancient trees hundreds of meters below into nothing, glazing the ground.
This amount of power displayed was only possible because the Peak Lord of Crimson Flame Peak had swallowed a spirit pill right before. After a few breaths, the blood poison on his back was completely removed and his wounds healed completely. By now, he had recovered more than half of his strength.
Meng Jiuxiao’s face was gloomy. He was still using the Demon Blood Cauldron to protect himself, no longer possessing the strength to deal with Li Qingzhou.
But the Peak Lord’s arrival only upset Ye Chen. How did the Peak Lord and the Xuantian Holy Maiden manage to catch up with them so quickly when they had already run hundreds of miles? It seemed that it was not easy to avoid these two!
In the end, Ye Chen decided that there was no point trying to run anymore. It was best to deal with the situation sooner rather than later. Since Demon Emperor Qingli was escaping, Ye Chen activated his Imminent Skyline skill and arrived before his target in one step. Then, he immediately took out his Mortal Transformation Sword and swung it at the Demon Emperor.
The Mortal Transformation Sword let out a dazzling sword light as it emitted a horrifying pressure unique to Supreme-Grade spirit treasures. In an instant, the sword attack was about to slice through the Demon Emperor.
Extreme Realm Sword Slash!
Everyone within the radius of the sword’s aura felt their hearts skip a beat as they subconsciously looked at Ye Chen.
The Demon Emperor’s face suddenly changed, not expecting Ye Chen to be able to catch up and attack him so quickly!
Without any time to think, Demon Emperor Qingli immediately took out the Blood Evil Skull and placed it in front of him to meet the incoming sword attack as he began to burn the blood essence in his body.
There was an earth-shattering explosion and an energy wave swept through the surroundings.
The Blood Evil Skull had shattered but the Mortal Transformation Sword remained unaffected as it continued to attack Demon Emperor Qingli.
Demon Emperor Qingli’s body was covered in fine blood threads and he was about to successfully execute the Blood Shadow Escape.
However, the Mortal Transformation Sword had already pierced through his skin and Demon Emperor Qingli instantly felt his cultivation reduce to nothingness. His Primordial Spirit was in a state of deathly stillness, his consciousness was unable to leave his body, and the burning essence of his blood immediately calmed down. Demon Emperor Qingli had been turned into a mortal.
Endless sword Qi exploded inside Demon Emperor Qingli’s body, immediately turning him into minced meat.
Ye Chen’s aura blossomed with a brilliant multicolored light and sprinkled out large patches of red flames to ignite the remains of Demon Emperor Qingli. In a blink of an eye, the Demon Emperor was burned into ashes which dissipated with the wind.
Demon Emperor Qingli was dead!
The Xuantian Holy Maiden had rushed over at a speed that was at the upper limit of her abilities, hoping to provide assistance to Ye Chen, only to end up witnessing an earth-shattering scene. Her eyes widened and her mouth fell open in shock.
She had always thought that Peak Lord Ye Chen was simply a small cultivator who had just entered Wave Realm. Needless to say, she had always looked down on Ye Chen and felt that this Peak Lord didn’t live up to his name, ruining Qingyun Peak’s reputation and future.
But now, the Peak Lord that she had always looked down on had just killed Demon Emperor Qingli with one strike of his sword, completely subverting her understanding.
And that was a powerful Demon Emperor too!
As it turned out, Ye Chen was simply good at keeping a low profile, concealing his ability to kill even a Demon Emperor!
With such power, he would most likely be ranked as one of the top three cultivators in all of Xuantian Holy Land.
‘In the end, I am the clown!’
The Peak Lord of Crimson Flame Peak did not have time to pay any attention to Meng Jiuxiao anymore. Like the Xuantian Holy Maiden, his eyes were completely fixed on Ye Chen as his heart was filled with disbelief. “If it were me, I would definitely not have been able to block Ye Chen’s sword attack! Didn’t Ye Chen just join Xuantian Holy Land a few years ago? How could he have trained to this level without anyone knowing?”
But then, the Peak Lord of Crimson Flame Peak felt a bit lucky to have Ye Chen among their ranks, especially after being ambushed by four Demon Emperors. Otherwise, they would have been wiped out here. Even he and the Xuantian Holy Maiden would not have been able to escape!
Li Qingzhou looked at the expressions of the Peak Lord of Crimson Flame Peak and the Xuantian Holy Maiden, secretly happy as he murmured to himself. “I knew Master’s power was not ordinary. And I have a feeling that this isn’t even Master’s full power. I truly wonder just how strong Master is!”
