Chapter 984 Bloody Battle, Demons Obstructing the Path

The defenders were forced into a staggered retreat, struggling to hold their ground against the legion of Outer Heaven Demons.

Yet the methods of those Outer Sky Demons were far from exhausted. The 7 Sword Slaves joined forces, moving as if of 1 mind as they simultaneously unleashed their demonic blades toward the 7 Avians Wanderer.

"Damn it!"

Elder Qiqin’s heart sank as he realized this single sword strike had sealed off the heavens and earth, driving him into a hopeless dead end. The onlookers wished to intervene, yet found themselves utterly powerless to aid him.

In the end, he barely managed to activate the Quasi-Immortal Artifact 7 Avian Feather Fan(Magic Treasure) to block for a mere instant before being slain within the void.

"How is this possible?"

Everyone was struck with astonishment, their faces revealing utter disbelief. None could have imagined that the 7 Avioms Ascetic—a cultivator at the half-immortal realm—would be slain in mere moments by the 7 Sword Slaves.

As a sword cultivator, Lin Tianqi possessed the most profound comprehension of the sword path among all present. His expression drastically shifted as he exclaimed, "This is the 7 Malices Sword Array!"

"The Outer Realm Devils had forged a sword formation within their bodies. Once activated at a critical moment, it would render them nearly invincible in the mortal realm."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts instantly sank.

This 7 Killers Sword Formation was meticulously cultivated by the Heavenly Net Demon God. Even Immortals would face some threat when confronting its combined power—how could these mere Demigod Ancestors possibly withstand it?

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Yet, at the very moment when all felt despair, a faint sigh suddenly echoed through the air.

Seeing the situation turning dire, the Tribulation Transcension Monk finally made his move, unleashing the legacy left behind by the Jingling Temple Buddha.

The Tribulation Transcendent Monk manifested his golden body, from which countless golden Sanskrit characters surged forth, transforming into a monumental ancient Buddhist scripture.

The sky full of Sanskrit scriptures swept through everything, instantly slashing toward the 7 Sword Slaves.

"Slash!"

Perceiving the golden Sanskrit scriptures descending from the sky, the 7 Sword Servants struck simultaneously.

They stood upon the 7 Killings Sword Formation, joining forces to unleash a blade of light that shot straight toward that peerless ancient Buddhist scripture.

This 7 Slaughter Swords Formation was an immortal-demonic slaughter array personally refined by the Heavenly Net Demon God. Its power was sufficient to sever the great stars of the 9 heavens, even approaching a strike from a true immortal. Were the Eastern Emperor still alive, he would likely have to treat it with grave seriousness.

"Die, you fiend!"

Yet in that very instant, the golden Sanskrit scriptures swirling through the heavens converged, coalescing into the phantom form of an ancient Buddha. With wrathful eyes blazing wide, it unleashed a palm strike that descended with crushing force upon the past.

With a deafening roar that seemed to tear heaven and earth asunder, the 7 Killers Sword Formation was instantly shattered. 3 of the semi-immortal sword slaves were immediately pulverized into clouds of crimson mist.

"Well done."

Watching the 7 Killers Sword Formation crumble, the Dao Lords of the Ziji Realm initially lit up with exhilaration, only for their expressions to freeze in the very next instant.

The divine monk who had unleashed this technique was gradually dissolving into motes of light, beginning to merge with the heavenly Dao between heaven and earth.

The golden Sanskrit scriptures were left behind by the ancient Buddhas, serving as 1 of the Violet Realm's foundations to counter demonic deities. Yet due to their overwhelmingly domineering nature, unleashing their full potency required consuming cataclysmic levels of energy.

With the cultivation base of a Tribulation Transcendent Monk, forcibly executing this technique ultimately left him utterly drained, resulting in his immediate Dao dissolution on the spot.

"Ah—"

After a momentary stillness, Lin Tianqi roared with a fury fueled by mad conviction. With a single swing of his blade, a majestic sword light surged across 1 100 1000 miles, illuminating the boundless heavens and earth.

Alone, he actually intercepted 2 half-immortal Heavenly Demons. Without sparing a moment for grief or rage, he declared, "I'll hold them off!"

The Grandmaster of the Heavenly Path also intercepted the remaining 2 powerful foes, his expression grave as he declared, “Make haste to the Myriad Ruins Continent. You must protect the 5 Elements Ancestral Vein at all costs.”

"Brother Tianqi..."

The Roc Demon Sage departed without a word, flying straight toward Myriad Ruins Continent (Location). However, Daoist Kunxuan (Cultivation Title) trembled slightly, gritted his teeth and bid farewell: "May you both take care."

At this moment, everyone understood clearly: though both Daoist Guantian and Lin Tianqi were supreme Half-Immortals, confronting 4 Half-Immortal Sword Slaves would likely place them in mortal peril.

Yet in such a brutal battle, who could truly guarantee their own survival?

Kill!

The Demon Sage Kunpeng possessed unparalleled speed in the world. With a flap of his wings that tore through the heavens, he overtook the 3 Enchanting Demonesses, catching up to them despite starting later.

The 3 enchantresses saw him giving chase, when 1 of them, a woman in purple robes, halted and laughed mockingly, "A mere fledgling Kunpeng dares to pursue this venerable 1?"

"Clang—"

Zi Mojie let out a cold sneer. With a flick of her sleeve, she released a violet demon mirror, immediately directing its reflection toward the Kunpeng Demon Saint.

This treasure is known as the Immortal-Severing Mirror, forged by the hand of an extraterrestrial demon god. As a supreme-grade artifact bordering on celestial power, even a Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) would struggle to withstand its illuminating radiance.

The Great Demon Sage Kunpeng had intended to rely on his extreme speed to entangle the 3 Demon Maidens. Yet the moment they crossed blows, he realized the Purple Demon Maiden had not only cultivated a Pseudo Dao Fruit, but also comprehended the power of the Illusory Law. Her cultivation was likely already approaching that of a Lord of the Dao Palace.

In the blink of an eye, a foreboding chill gripped the heart of the Kunpeng Demon Saint. His voice lowered with grim realization as he uttered, "I cannot hold them back. This is disastrous!"

But the 2 demonesses continued their assault toward the Myriad Ruins Continent, drawing ever closer to the Sea of Blazing Prison Fire.

At that very moment, Qing Ji, Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Lila (Person Name) and others who had been guarding within Myriad Ruins Continent (Location) could no longer restrain themselves and finally charged forth to kill.

3 years of cultivation felt like many, and before he knew it, his cultivation had already reached the 9th level of the Nascent Soul realm. Now, he successively summoned 3 near-immortal treasures—the Primordial Chaos Gold Bracelet, the Dust Whisk, and the 5-Colored Divine Whip—hoping to stall the 2 opponents.

"You overestimate your abilities."

But the 2 demonesses merely sneered coldly. Attacking in unison, they drove the 3 into steady retreat. Fortunately, during those fleeting moments of delay, Daoist Kunxuan had already caught up.

Several figures clashed in fierce combat. On 1 side were 2 half-immortal demon enchantresses, while their 4 opponents wielded near-immortal treasures and were no ordinary adversaries. The battle swiftly descended into an intense stalemate.

Seeing the situation at a stalemate, the 2 Demon Envoys sneered coldly, "You may hinder our efforts, but you cannot protect the 5 Elements Ancestral Vein."

Boom—

A deafening roar tore through the void as a dozen or so Outer Realm Demons (Evil Being) shattered their encirclement and charged into the Myriad Ruins Continent (Location).

Among them were several demons at the ninth level of the Primordial Spirit, wielding supreme treasures as they charged forth with the intent to destroy Heaven's Spine Mountains (Location)—1 of the 5 Element Ancestral Veins.

Yet in that very instant, the void froze in place.

But then, a black-robed man was seen striding through the air. With a flick of his sleeve, he struck out with a palm strike, sending the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Demon flying backward.

The newcomer was none other than Kael (Person Name). His expression frosty, he calmly surveyed the formidable adversaries before him and spoke with unshakable composure.

"This Seat is present. Halt your steps!"

The demons finally laid eyes on the figure before them. After a momentary pause, 1 of them spoke with icy detachment, "A mere Ninth-Level Primordial Spirit cultivator dares to defy the heavens?"

"I shall sever you here!"

In an instant, a dozen or so Nascent Soul demonic cultivators struck simultaneously, charging straight at Kael (Person Name).

These dozen or so soul devils were exceptionally powerful, with quite a few among them at the 9th-level Nascent Soul stage. Even a single battle against a 9th-level Nascent Soul expert could prove fatal.

Kael collided with the crowd, his terrifying transcendent power manifesting within the mortal realm.

The great battle had not lasted long before Kael raised his hand and struck out with a palm, suppressing everything in its path.

In an instant, the 3 powers of Buddhism, Dao, and demonic force merged into 1, transforming into a terrifying supreme power that swept forth. It actually blasted a Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) heavenly demon into a mist of blood on the spot.

"How could this be?"

The demons cried out in shock, their faces contorted with terror, never imagining that Kael (Person Name) would prove to be so formidable.
