Chapter 154 : Celestial Python Demon King (Demon Beast)

The Golden-Horned Savage Bull, notorious for its violent temper, ranked among the least intelligent of the Purple Mansion Demonic Beasts. Instead of fleeing at the sight of the group, it charged headlong toward them.

"Let's make this quick."

Patriarch Yang was overjoyed. Without a moment's delay, he summoned the Thunderblaze Fire Sword to strike at the Purple Palace, Mid Stage golden-horned savage bull.

As planned, Xu Daoyuan (Person Name) made the second move, immediately intercepting a Purple Mansion (Cultivation Realm) beast at the third level of Purple Mansion.

Before the remaining Golden-Horned Savage Bull at the Purple Palace, Early Stage could react, it found itself surrounded by 4 Purple Mansion-level combatants: Xavier, Yang Yuanhe, Eldrin, and the old clan leader.

Then the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), the Scarlet Gold God-Slaying Sword Aura, the Yi Wood Azure Spirit Pearl, the Wu Earth Divine Thunder, and several other supernatural powers and magical treasures came striking over.

Outnumbered and overwhelmed, the Golden-Horned Savage Bull was swiftly driven to flight under the relentless assault. Though its earth-shaking roars tore through the heavens, even this could not reverse its desperate plight.

In just 7 or 8 moves, Xavier swiftly concluded the battle. With a single strike of the Qianjin Fire Serpent Scissors, he severed the creature’s head, leaving its lifeless body suspended in the void.

After the first Golden-Horned Bison fell in battle, the 4 fighters freed their hands to jointly assault the second 1. Though this Golden-Horned Bison possessed marginally greater strength, it remained powerless to defy fate when besieged by 5 adversaries of equal cultivation realm.

The Golden-Horned Savage Ox tribe was considered quite slow-moving among the Violet Mansion realm creatures. Ordinarily, relying on their formidable physical strength, their survival capabilities weren't particularly weak either, making them remarkably difficult to hunt among Violet Mansion realm demonic beasts.

Alas, it encountered the group. The power of the Qian Golden Fire Dragon Scissors was boundless—even many upper third-rank demonic beasts could not withstand it, and it could even injure a Golden Core demon king. The Golden-Horned Savage Bull was naturally struck down and slain mid-air in a single blow.

Seeing 2 Purple Mansion demonic bulls slain, the golden-horned savage bull locked in combat with Patriarch Yang finally felt fear. It summoned a pair of flying swords forged from its third-grade golden horns to parry Patriarch Yang’s Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, then fled into the distance.

The Purple Palace, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) Golden-Horned Savage Bull possessed incredibly thick hide and rugged flesh. Though the pursuers had chased it over 2 100 li, leaving it riddled with wounds, they had ultimately failed to slay it. Now, to their dismay, the beast was on the verge of joining forces with the approaching Azure Flame Fox.

But at this critical moment, Elara and Su Mingwei finally arrived. From a 1000 zhang away, Elara activated the Ice Jade Radiance Condensation Spell, and a white light instantly enveloped the void.

Compared to 30 years ago, Elara's cultivation had now broken through to the fifth level of the Violet Mansion. With her current cultivation base activating this treasure, she instantly froze the Golden-Horned Savage Bull mid-air.

Seizing this golden opportunity, Patriarch Yang rode forth on his Blazing Thunderbolt Sword, brandishing the Mountain-Cleaving Soul-Severing Axe. With a single decisive strike from the heavens, he cleanly severed the head of the Golden-Horned Savage Bull.

The 2 Azureflame Foxes and the 6-Winged Golden Butterfly in the distance shuddered at the sight, immediately turning tail without a second glance and fleeing toward the demon territory. Sensing the dire turn of events, they abandoned their entire army to save their own skins.

But just as everyone was about to give chase, an unexpected turn of events occurred. From the northern skies, 2 powerful demonic beast auras descended, actually overwhelming Lyra's presence.

1 was the Celestial Python Demon King (Demon Beast), the other was...

"Damn, it's the Purpleblood Celestial Python!"

Eldrin's pupils contracted sharply as he hastily urged his flying sword forward.

Seeing the situation turning dire, the crowd realized that if Lyra (Person Name) were defeated, their combined strength would be no match for the Celestial Python Demon King (Demon Beast). They immediately mounted their swords and flew toward the battle.

In just half an incense stick’s time, the crowd witnessed Lyra merging with her sword, transforming into a dazzling blade aura that soared across the heavens. She was now locked in an aerial dance of combat against 2 monstrous beasts radiating overwhelming power.

The aura emanating from both demon beasts was truly astonishing. 1 was a massive creature, its entire body pitch-black and stretching 3 100 zhang in length. It was clearly the renowned Celestial Python Demon King (Demon Beast).

The other serpent was entirely purple, its body actually stretching nearly a 1000 feet in length—clearly the legendary Violetblood Celestial Serpent.

"Block the Purpleblood Heaven Python."

After everyone had arrived, Patriarch Yang declared in a resounding voice.

He was the first to unleash the Pili Liehuo Jian, transforming it into a sword aura of over 50 zhang that slashed toward the Zixue Tianmang.

The 7 individuals struck simultaneously, unleashing their most guarded techniques in a concerted assault.

Although the Purple Blood Heavenly Python was at the Purple Palace, Peak Stage (Cultivation Realm), it had to cautiously face the assault of 7 opponents with Purple Mansion-level combat prowess. Unable to maintain its siege on Lyra (Person Name), it could only activate its various magical treasures to engage the group in fierce combat.

Seeing the Purpleblood Sky Python held back by the crowd, Lyra breathed a slight sigh of relief. She raised her head to glare at the Celestial Python Demon King, her beautiful eyes sharpening as a palpable killing intent surged within them.

"Golden Core Demon King, let us have a bout then."

As her words fell, she summoned the Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword and struck out.

Watching the Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword soar through the air to strike, the Celestial Python Demon King (Demon Beast) flashed an icy indifference in its cold pupils. With a roar, it unleashed its divine ability—'Heaven-Devouring Serpent Technique'.

This Celestial Python Devours the Heavens Art was derived from the great supernatural power ‘Black Dragon Devours the Heavens Art’. Legend has it that this great supernatural power ‘Black Dragon Devours the Heavens Art’ was the innate divine ability of that Black Dragon Demon Ancestor dwelling deep within the Vast Murky Marsh.

It is said that if that black dragon had existed since time immemorial, having lived for countless tens of thousands of years, it once unleashed this divine ability and devoured a realm spanning tens of thousands of miles in diameter in a single gulp.

Uncountable millennia had passed since the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor left innumerable bloodlines throughout the vast marshlands. This Celestial Python Demon King (Demon Beast) retained a trace of diluted dragon blood within its veins, thus inheriting a simplified version of this divine ability through its lineage.

The Celestial Python Demon King (Demon Beast) unleashed this technique, transforming into a colossal serpent that seemed capable of devouring the heavens themselves, its gaping maw poised to swallow the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) whole.

Faced with this divine ability, Lyra showed no trace of fear. A subtle glint flashed in her eyes as she raised her hand and summoned an array disk.

As soon as the formation disk appeared, countless formation patterns lit up, instantly cascading down like a waterfall to seal the void and suppress this divine ability.

Soulbound Magical Artifact!

The Celestial Python Demon King (Demon Beast) revealed a look of shock, and actually cried out in astonishment in human speech.

No 1 could have anticipated that Lyra (Person Name) had successfully cultivated a second natal magic treasure, and through the nourishment of her Lunar Immortal Body, elevated it to the lower-grade fourth tier.

"The terrain embodies the principle of Kun (Earth), thus this treasure is named the 'Ji Earth Kun Origin Disk'."

Lyra murmured, uttering the name of this Life-Bound Magic Treasure.

This earthen-natured life-bound magical treasure was forged through her mastery of array formations.

This treasure possesses the wondrous ability to seal and suppress, while also serving as a first-class defensive artifact. It can gather the veins of heaven and earth to erect a protective primordial barrier, rendering its defense nearly invincible among those of the same cultivation realm.

"What a fine magical treasure."

The Celestial Python Demon King (Demon Beast) narrowed his eyes coldly. The fourth-tier defensive artifact 'Marshland 5 Mists Canopy' above his head intercepted Lyra (Person Name)'s Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword, then he spat forth a dark immortal sword that shot toward her like a bolt of black lightning. This flying sword, pitch-black from tip to hilt, was named the Ink Snow Immortal Sword. It had once served as the life-bound immortal sword of Ink Snow Ancestor, a female golden core rogue cultivator from the Chu Kingdom (Location). After Ink Snow Ancestor's ascension to immortality, the sword had been lost to time—none expected it to reappear here today.
