Chapter 709: Opportunity has come!
""In the water, I might still fear that Old Turtle by three parts, but once on land, even if his true form appears, I wouldn't flinch, so what are you? Expecting me to give you face? What a joke!"
Hou Yuxiao, who had just arrived, thought he could intimidate the Tiger Demon by invoking the River Lord's name. But upon hearing the other's words, his expression darkened instantly. Without a second thought, he directly burned more than seven million merits, enhancing his cultivation to the half-step Broken Realm.
Bang…
As expected, just as his cultivation had been elevated, a massive tiger paw swept across the sky, enveloped in Demon Qi. In an instant, it struck him, the mighty demonic power tearing apart the very space and slamming into him with tangible force.
Caught off guard, Hou Yuxiao's body was like a cannonball, smashing into the ground and creating a huge crater, throwing up dust dozens of meters high.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother."
"Family Head!"
…
"Don't worry."
Hou Yucheng on the ground, Hou Yuduan in the sky, and many martial artists and soldiers of the Hou Clan immediately showed urgent expressions as they rushed toward the crater. But before they could reach it, Hou Yuxiao's slightly indignant and deep voice emanated from it.
Hou Yuxiao, dressed in green robes, had Yin and Yang wheels intersecting behind him, spinning like singularities, with their cracks faintly visible. The black abyssal Demonic Qi radiated from them, swiftly enveloping his body. He slowly rose from the crater to the same height as the Tiger Demon's head.
"Ungrateful fool!"
Ever since Hou Yuxiao had appeared, the Tiger Demon held a mocking expression. Even sensing Hou Yuxiao's cultivation reaching the half-step Broken Realm did not alter his demeanor. But upon hearing those five words, his face turned extremely ferocious and his nostrils flared with heavy breaths.
Hei Yuan was considered a native demon of the Sanling Region and believed he understood the Hou Clan completely. In the past few years, when Maiden Hong was present, he knew he was no match and kept a low profile. But now, with the resonance of Tai Xi, the Holy Ancestor, dominating the world, it was the time for demons to display their might. He had never taken half-step Broken Realm Hou Yuxiao seriously.
How could he have anticipated such insolence from the other party!
"Originally, I only intended to swallow the seven hundred thousand troops in Baiye Camp. But now, your entire Hexi Prefecture will be buried alongside you for these five words. Human, I will let you understand the cost of offending me, Hei Yuan, and how much…"
"Annoying. I'll start by flaying your tiger hide!"
Hou Yuxiao didn't even wait for Hei Yuan to finish his threat. The Canglong Staff, over a meter long, suddenly flew out from his Sea of Consciousness, the abyssal Demonic Qi instantly adhering to the staff. He vaulted into the air, charging directly at the gigantic head of Hei Yuan.
Compared to Hei Yuan's hundred-meter body, Hou Yuxiao's frame resembled a flying insect. Yet, his aura was as intense as a black flame. Without any visible motion from the staff, just the wind from its movement in the air was enough to tear a rift in the space.
The ink-black face of Hei Yuan revealed its savagery as a black storm suddenly soared from its body, like a towering screen. With just a flicker, Hei Yuan appeared right in front of Hou Yuxiao, opened its gigantic maw, and with a surge of black devouring force, violently sucked in at Hou Yuxiao.
Hanging mid-air, Hou Yuxiao now faced that gaping maw directly. He could no longer see Hei Yuan's body covered in Demon Qi, but through the power of devouring emanating from the tiger's mouth, he seemed to see Hei Yuan transformed into thousands of demons. There were serpents with nine white heads, giant centipedes with numerous legs, and octo-arm daemons with horns...
"Bloodline returning to the ancestors, myriad of forms, a Fourth-grade Senluo demon. Is this the first time I've faced such a formidable demon directly?"
There wasn't a trace of fear in Hou Yuxiao's eyes, only a strong will to battle. During the chaos in Tongling, Maiden Hong initially had only the strength of the Fourth-grade Senluo realm. Back then, he was like an ant, terrified and only able to watch from a distance.
Today, four years later, he could confront Hei Yuan directly!
Not just confront, but to defeat...
Merits: 13 million 290 thousand
Karmic Obstacles: 21 million 790 thousand
Hou Yuxiao glanced at the merits within his Sea of Consciousness without hesitation. He then burned another seven million, the merit count dropping instantly to 6 million 290 thousand. His pupils suddenly filled with a layer of blood color.
The Yin and Yang wheels behind him were already spinning at extreme speed in a phantom singularity state. With a surge of merits flooding into his body, the speed of the wheels' rotation instantly increased by several times, and the singularity became more visible. The faint cracks also became increasingly apparent.
More and more visible... more and more visible...
Until they shattered with a loud crash!
Hum...
An ancient bell sound suddenly resonated through the heavens and the earth. The Ape Demon on the divine platform in Hou Yuxiao's Sea of Consciousness suddenly opened its eyes, bursting forth from his body and appearing behind him.
It was a hundred-meter-tall black Ape Demon phantom intertwined with a golden true dragon, appearing behind Hou Yuxiao. An apocalyptic aura slowly radiated from around Hou Yuxiao's body. It spread out hundreds of miles, and when it reached its limit, it suddenly pressed down toward the ground, as if suppressing the heavens and the earth themselves.
In an instant, whether it was the Fourth-rank demon Hei Yuan, his second brother Hei Wusha, his third sister Hu Yu Niang, both Fifth-rank demons, or the several thousand low-rank demons they had brought, all were subdued by this aura, their pupils showing intense fear.
What do you think?
