Chapter 673 Soul Demon Clan - Soul Harmony Evil Goddess Candle Maiden
"Are you out of your mind? Isn't it good to be alive...?"
"You don't understand anything at all."
Seeing that the renowned Mighty True Demon King was still being stubborn, before the Candle Maiden could respond, Hun Mu couldn't wait to jump out and mock him.
In order to scheme against this renowned first of the Ten Kings.
After this battle.
Of the Soul Demon Clan's spies lurking in the Demon Refining Domain, only one in ten remained, but they had almost captured Yue Zhenxiao. Just thinking about the rewards they could receive for eliminating a genius of this caliber...
Hun Mu couldn't help but hum softly.
He scoffed at what Yue Zhenxiao said.
"Humanity, including the entire Cangmang Immortal Realm, is nothing more than an insect that grew out of the cracks by betraying the ancient star gods when they were severely damaged."
"Why don't we go back and ask your celestial palace what the truth was about the destruction of the gods, and how the earth spirits managed to survive?"
Yue Zhenxiao was puzzled.
During his limited cultivation career of 1,800 years, the vast Immortal Realm had always been the territory of the Immortal Palace, and there may have been many conflicts with the True Spirit Demon Clan.
However, the human race still emerged victorious. The true spirits and auspicious creatures had long since migrated to the Celestial Realm, where there was no longer any fertile ground for the demon race to survive.
The earlier star gods were not within his knowledge.
They could only turn their attention to the Candle Maiden for verification.
The latter remained expressionless.
In the flickering candlelight, a head of gray hair grew back, and his disheveled appearance returned to how he looked when they first met. He remained silent.
They relentlessly increased the power of the Netherworld Candlelight, attempting to refine Yue Zhenxiao on the spot. Hun Mu also continued to increase the output of demonic energy, wanting to extract the primordial spirit of the number one among the Ten Kings.
It will be a physical body refined into a demonic puppet with great potential.
Everything was going in the direction he had predicted.
until……
"It's really lively here. Lao Yue, you really are a big talker."
Patterns appear in the void.
Wang Yu, now restored to his Myriad Transformations Blood Fly form, tore through the void and stepped out. His flowing, blood-red hair cascaded down to his waist, and his handsome, wicked face held a playful expression.
A pair of bloodshot eyes inadvertently swept over the Candle Maiden and then over Soul Harmony.
The image finally settled on Yue Zhenxiao, who was kneeling on the ground in a disheveled state.
The latter gave a wry smile.
He said helplessly, "Who knew this guy would be so audacious as to target me? How's the situation in Holy Ring City?"
Wang Yu clicked his tongue: "The Charming King is much more useful than you. He will have made great contributions after this battle and will definitely get what he wants. You are not so sure."
Yue Zhenxiao sighed: "Can you please stop putting each other down?"
"—Arrogant brat!"
The two's oblivious attitude infuriated Hun Mu.
He said in a cold voice.
"Blood Beast Wuyou is suspected to be a bastard from the Heavenly Demon Realm. Although he recently ascended to the position of one of the Ten Kings, his cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Realm. Do you think you can change the outcome?"
"The weak can't change anything! Stop spouting nonsense."
"Tsk tsk."
Wang Yu pursed his lips, a thought flashing through his mind.
Three killing swords hovered behind him, arranged in a fan shape. Two illusory intent swords, "Yuan Tu" and "A Bi," also appeared. The terrifying killing path stirred up a monstrous phenomenon.
A sea of blood hung in the sky, with countless corpses floating on the surface.
The stench of blood seeped into his very bones, transforming the entire world into something entirely different. Streaks of blood-red lightning crisscrossed the area, making Wang Yu's figure below appear as if a demon god had descended, exuding unparalleled power!
He's here to clean up the mess.
The purpose of the conversation just now was actually to buy time. Yue Zhenxiao telepathically told Wang Yu everything that had happened, allowing him to revise the battle plan.
In his view, most of the experts of the Soul Demon Clan died at the hands of Yue Zhenxiao, leaving only some cannon fodder and the only one who could pose a threat to him, Soul Mu.
In addition, there was a candle maiden who was seriously injured.
For Wang Yu, facing two enemies at the early stage of the Dao Integration Realm was an extremely challenging task, because he not only had to consider winning, but also had to find a way to win big.
We must kill them to achieve a great victory!
'A master of the Soul Path... and the Candle Maiden.'
He was personally very interested in this so-called "system of gods and deities". If the Candle Maiden was also one of the ancient innate gods, then her physical body would be of immeasurable value to Wang Yu.
but.
Since the Great Demon Heaven dared to keep it as a whetstone for the demon cultivators of the Demon Refining Domain, it means that its value lies not in its identity.
Wang Yu couldn't explain his plans.
All I wanted to do was have a good fight first.
Make the first move.
The first move is "Heavenly Fiend Calamity," a sword technique specifically designed to counter demonic paths. It also incorporates the principles of slaughter, making it doubly effective against beings of the Soul Demon Path.
For example, a simple relationship of restraint results in double the damage.
Double restraint results in quadruple damage.
Hun Mu was startled. He saw that the surrounding demonic energy was gathering like mist. It was a kind of negative energy formed by the resentment, fear, death, bad luck and so on left behind by the death of countless demonic cultivators.
Like resentful spirits from hell, they desperately want to drag their fellow sufferers down with them.
"What the hell is this thing?"
Hun Mu had never encountered such a restraining divine power before. It was as if a guillotine was specially developed for the Soul Demon Path. Countless sword lights emerged from the rolling evil mist and finally descended upon him.
They couldn't even dodge before they were hit.
There's another layer of causal application...
Hun Mu's expression grew increasingly solemn, and grayish-white, transparent soul demon energy emerged from the top of his head, forming a seemingly fragile but actually inseparable soul link.
Its primordial spirit then escaped from its body like a kite being flown.
This state of the Soul Demon is their peak form; the physical body is merely a constraint, making it difficult to unleash their full power. Furthermore, the Demon Race does not cultivate the "Path of Refining Spirits to Become Immortals."
The so-called initial stage of the seventh order, although the system is different.
However, there are also stage-based cultivation products such as "the prototype of the Dao Fruit". The demon race values the body and bloodline, while the Soul Demon race is an anomaly.
They seek to use flesh and blood as fuel and blood as their source.
Sacrifice yourself to become a demon, and you will achieve a sacred soul!
This sacred soul is another form of the Dao Fruit prototype. Apart from the laws of the Great Dao, it is almost impossible to be annihilated by ordinary supernatural powers and can offset the damage of ninety percent of the soul-destroying supernatural powers in the world.
After transforming into this form, the Heavenly Fiend Demon Tribulation Sword Technique, which could destroy the primordial spirit of a demon race with a single sword strike, is greatly weakened. Even if one were to withstand it head-on, it would only cause the demon to sway slightly.
It is difficult to inflict fatal damage on Hunmu.
The latter's expression was extremely solemn. He saw Wang Yu's future. If Wang Yu, who was only in the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Realm, could shake his Holy Soul, what would happen if he broke through to the late stage or peak of the Void Refinement Realm?
Even if they break through to the Dao Integration Realm in the future, wouldn't they be able to kill a seventh-tier Soul Demon with a single sword strike? At that time, their race will have a hard time.
Therefore, what moved him was actually Wang Yu's potential, not his current combat strength.
"Soul Demon Annihilation God Mirror—Appear!"
His natal treasure is also a seventh-order low-grade magic treasure, a bronze mirror shaped like a mirror. The moment it was reflected in Wang Yu's eyes, a great terror descended.
This made his divine power operate in an extremely obscure way.
Moreover, their minds are sluggish, making it difficult for them to think clearly.
"Candle Maiden!"
The evil goddess of the underworld, Zhu Nu, wasn't just watching the show; she was gathering her killing moves. She and Hun Mu had fought Yue Zhenxiao together, so she naturally knew more about her teammate.
This is the opportunity we've been waiting for.
He immediately moved, forming a hand seal and pointing it directly at Wang Yu, who was being forcibly controlled. Ripples appeared in the void, the ground turned upside down to reveal black underworld soil, and white bones shot into the sky like pillars.
They firmly suppressed the strange phenomenon of Wang Yu's blood-soaked sky.
at the same time.
A gray-white bone spike imbued with the laws of death shot out stealthily, striking Wang Yu's heart with almost no delay.
In terms of the combat instincts of seventh-tier beings.
Even though it was only their second battle as temporary partners, their teamwork was already at its peak. So the question is, would Wang Yu, who had already exchanged information with Yue Zhenxiao, fall for the trap so easily?
As is well known, their forte is not intrigue or scheming.
Rather, it's about taking precautions against a crisis!
In an instant.
The sea of blood collapsed, turning into a rain of blood that filled the sky. A strange blood mist enveloped an area of tens of thousands of miles. A blood-red cocoon wrapped around Wang Yu, and in the blink of an eye, a ferocious beast was released.
It has one leg and a human body, with skin as red as blood and covered in a layer of scales.
Its back, neck, and outer arms were covered with thick, scarlet fur, and a sword-shaped horn on its forehead revealed its true form as the most primal killing beast of this world.
With just a slight bow of his head, he deflected the incoming bone spikes of death. It should be noted that Fei's sword horn was the vessel for his path of slaughter. The Candle Maiden's methods were strong, but not that strong.
After seizing the Dao, the Heavenly Demon unleashes its myriad transformations.
He acquired 100% of the Fei bloodline and was the most outstanding individual among his kind. This was the incredible effect brought about by the combination of his two great talents.
And the true spirit of the demon race.
Naturally, he is strongest when he transforms into his original form!
The three completed Fei Swords—the Demon Tribulation Killing Sword, the Heavenly Tribulation Killing Sword, and the Mortal Tribulation Sword—were integrated into Wang Yu's right hand, making his three fingers extremely long.
The two weapons, Yuan Tu and A Bi, which can perfectly unleash the principles of slaughter, were also incorporated into it. Wang Yu's figure disappeared instantly, and endless killing sword energy began to spread like a storm.
—Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!
The shift from defense to offense happens in an instant.
The crimson sword aura storm, imbued with the principles of slaughter, almost completely ignores any defense below the level of laws, causing true damage with every strike and also having a healing-preventing effect.
The resulting injuries are almost impossible to heal.
certainly.
This level of strength is relative; if the opponent's understanding of the laws is stronger than his, he can also obliterate the power attached to it, making it the nemesis of abilities like the immortal and indestructible body.
Both the Candle Maiden and Soul Harmony are seventh-tier powerhouses, comparable to Dao-Harmony experts.
Although the storm of sword energy was troublesome, it was not insurmountable. However, Wang Yu's real purpose was only to use this method to divide the battlefield; the real killing move was yet to come.
Hunmu was quickly targeted and attacked.
First, spatial means are restricted. The human race's cultivation system's ability to manipulate the universe can forcibly enter the realm of spatial principles, but the demon race's system cannot.
Therefore, in just a moment, his agile figure slowed down by nearly 80%, and an incredibly terrifying spatial pressure was applied to him, making even a holy soul feel that it was difficult to move.
At that time.
Wang Yu arrived with a swift movement, his right claw striking down. The power of his three natal killing swords merged into one: the Demonic Calamity Sword provided double restraint and focused on dealing damage, while the Heavenly Calamity Sword drew upon overwhelming heavenly might to completely suppress his power.
The Red Dust Sword attacks his mind; even a delay of only one ten-thousandth of a second is enough to force Hun Mu to endure Wang Yu's full-force attack.
"ah!!!"
A bloodcurdling scream pierced the blood mist, making the Candle Maiden even more vigilant. She continued to spew out death mist, attempting to disrupt the blood mist environment, undermine Wang Yu's methods, and create a more suitable environment for her own battle.
But she wasn't a priority target, so Wang Yu left her alone.
The souls of those who worked wholeheartedly were howling with excitement.
The scarlet claws relentlessly tore through the air, leaving Hun Mu's physical body in tatters. However, Wang Yu quickly realized that even with the dual advantages of speed and environment,
His attacks hit Hunmu multiple times, but he couldn't inflict fatal wounds. Even if Hunmu looked disheveled, as long as he wasn't fundamentally harmed, once Hunmu adapted to his attacks, a counterattack was just a matter of a blink of an eye.
'This can't go on...'
The Demon Race has become one of the top races in the universe, so its cultivation system must have some merit, although it is not as mysterious as that of the human race.
However, in terms of numerical values, it is unique.
Almost every demon of the sixth rank or above comprehends the Dao of Immortality, which either enhances their physical body or their soul. Each breakthrough in a major realm brings a transformation, making them exceptionally difficult to kill.
'Law-based demonic body.'
After making up his mind, Wang Yu couldn't help but think about his own methods. His body refinement realm already possessed the characteristics of a medium-level immortal body, but before he could complete the unity of spirit and flesh.
Unable to comprehend the Dao of Power, which is said to be the Great Dao of Creation.
In terms of physical strength alone, he is actually stronger than the wrathful demon race of the same level, but he lacks the blessing of the Undying Dao Law and does not have such powerful law-level recovery ability.
To completely annihilate the seventh-tier demon race, perhaps only by combining the Taiyin Frost Moon with the innate divine power of the Twelve Phases of the Moon can it be destroyed.
Before that, we need to find a way to make it unavoidable for the other party.
'Sigh, another bit of my secret is about to be revealed.'
Feeling helpless.
Just as Wang Yu used the power of the Taiyin Divine Force to enhance his abilities, summoned the secret treasure Locking Immortal Tower, and communicated with the five elemental spirits within, preparing to temporarily subdue the opponent with the Illusionary Moon Pupil Technique of the Taiyin Nether Eyes, and then suppress them with the Locking Immortal Tower in order to kill them with a single arrow.
As if guided by a GPS, the Candle Maiden appeared before him in an instant.
For the first time, a look of excitement appeared on her cold, lifeless face as she looked at Wang Yu with anticipation and hope, but it quickly faded away.
The lips moved, but no sound was heard.
But Wang Yu understood lip reading.
'You're back?!'
He instantly understood that the Taiyin Divine Power leaving his body—a power that only innate star gods could cultivate—had clearly caused the other party to misunderstand.
But Wang Yu didn't say anything; instead, he tacitly agreed.
Honestly, encountering an ancient being like the Candle Maiden is a stroke of luck in itself. The fact that she seems to want to acknowledge you but doesn't dare to speak suggests that she is 90% afraid of the Great Demon Heaven's "surveillance."
With this thought in mind, Wang Yu had no intention of speaking.
Instead, he gave Hunmu a meaningful look.
The Candle Maiden immediately understood and switched sides to his camp, using her Netherworld Bone-Turning Domain power to block all the crimson sword energy.
Only then did he appear beside Hun Mu, who immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the grudge between the Heavenly Gods and the Human Race was no less than that between the Demon Race and the Heavenly Gods.
I have never doubted the Candle Maiden's intention to take revenge on humanity.
There was no need to be on guard.
“Candle Maiden, this Blood Beast Wuyou is very problematic. It doesn't seem like a half-demon hybrid; rather, it seems to have the purest true spirit bloodline. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. You have the Netherworld Divine Realm; find a way to kill Yue Zhen first…”
Pfft.
Grayish-white bone spikes shot out from the Candle Maiden's palm, piercing through Soul Harmony's heart like spears. The power of the Law of Death spread rapidly, leaving the latter in disbelief and utter incomprehension.
"Why?"
