Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

"Shen Haoran? How is that possible? Isn’t he dead?" Jian Wushuang and the surviving disciples cried out in alarm at the sight of the figure radiating a savage aura. They had clearly seen Shen Haoran fall into that deep pit.

"Quick, look under Shen Haoran! Isn’t that the Demon King?" a disciple shouted again, pointing at the wailing Demon King Husky.

At this moment, the Demon King’s cries were utterly wretched, enough to make one’s heart tremble. Both of his arms had been violently ripped off by Shen Haoran. The Soul-devouring Sword was plunged deep into his back, pinning his body to the ground and immobilizing him. Jian Wushuang and the others could hardly imagine that Shen Haoran, who couldn’t last more than a few moves against the Demon King just days ago, was now capable of pushing him to such a state!

The Elders were also having a hard time processing the scene. The aura radiating from the figure beneath Shen Haoran had indeed reached the Spirit Emperor Level. This meant Jian Wushuang and the others hadn’t been lying. But hadn’t they said that Shen Haoran and the Spirit Emperor Powerhouse had perished together? So what was this, with Shen Haoran on top of the Spirit Emperor Powerhouse, brutally beating him?

"That Spirit Emperor Powerhouse... why does he look so much like Ouyang Shaoyu? Don’t tell me Ouyang Shaoyu has really been turned into a Puppet?" an Elder exclaimed, his gaze immediately shifting to Ghost Gui of Fallen Valley.

Ghost Gui’s expression turned extremely grim. He had recognized the figure as Ouyang Shaoyu at first glance, but he couldn’t sense a single trace of a familiar aura from him. Still, this was the genius disciple of their Fallen Valley. Ghost Gui couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. With a flash, his figure shot toward Shen Haoran.

"Brat, stop this at once!" Ghost Gui roared coldly at Shen Haoran. Even if Ouyang Shaoyu had been possessed by a Spirit Emperor Powerhouse, at least he was still alive. As long as he was breathing, Fallen Valley had ways to save him. Thus, Ghost Gui didn’t have time to think. He immediately made his move, preparing to rescue Ouyang Shaoyu!

Shen Haoran, who had been thoroughly enjoying the beatdown, suddenly heard Ghost Gui’s shout. He turned to look back and saw Ghost Gui streaking toward him as an afterimage. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. He pulled the Soul-devouring Sword from the Demon King’s body and, ignoring Ghost Gui’s furious roar, stabbed it directly at the Demon King’s head!

"Brat, you dare!" Enraged that Shen Haoran was ignoring him, Ghost Gui raised his palm. The Spiritual Artifact within him erupted, blasting toward Shen Haoran’s back. The powerful force of the blow kicked up the rubble below.

Feeling the ferocious force from behind, Shen Haoran didn’t hesitate in the slightest. As the Demon King watched in terror, he ruthlessly plunged the Soul-devouring Sword downward. The moment it pierced the Demon King’s head, the blade erupted with a brilliant light. The Soul-devouring Sword was named as such because it could devour a Martial Artist’s Spiritual Thought. This was one of its abilities as a Divine Artifact!

After the Soul-devouring Sword instantly devoured the Demon King’s Spiritual Thought, Shen Haoran grabbed the now-lifeless corpse and threw it behind him. He himself turned into an afterimage and shot forward.

Seeing Shen Haoran throw Ouyang Shaoyu’s corpse at him like a human shield, Ghost Gui hastily withdrew the Palm Force from his hand and caught the body. However, the instant he touched it, Ouyang Shaoyu’s corpse burst into flames. A jet-black fire immediately consumed it.

"Damn it!" Ghost Gui cursed, watching Ouyang Shaoyu’s body burn. He tried to extinguish the black flames, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t put them out. In fact, they only grew stronger. This black flame was the twice-awakened Fire Spirit Black Obsidian. Even a Spirit Emperor Peak powerhouse like Ghost Gui was powerless to extinguish it.

In just a few breaths, Ouyang Shaoyu’s body was burned to nothing, not even a speck of ash remaining. And so, the once-unbeatable ninth Demon King Husky vanished from this world forever!

"Brat, I’m going to kill you!" Ghost Gui’s eyes turned blood-red as he stared at the wisp of smoke that was once Ouyang Shaoyu. A terrifying killing intent filled the area, causing the surrounding air to freeze. Ouyang Shaoyu was the son of Fallen Valley’s Valley Master, its sole heir, and a genius not seen in a hundred years. The effort Fallen Valley had poured into Ouyang Shaoyu was unimaginable. To think that this genius, nurtured with countless resources, had been incinerated by a single blaze from Shen Haoran today... for Fallen Valley, this was an absolutely devastating blow!

Furthermore, Fallen Valley would never forgive Ghost Gui for bringing Ouyang Shaoyu out on this trip. The number one genius of his own Sect had been killed right in front of him. Even if Ghost Gui was Fallen Valley’s Grand Elder, he would undoubtedly be punished, perhaps even lose his life!

At this thought, Ghost Gui could no longer suppress the killing intent in his heart. His figure instantly blurred into an afterimage, lunging toward Shen Haoran.

Shen Haoran’s pupils constricted as he watched Ghost Gui vanish. Ghost Gui’s strength was at the Spirit Emperor Peak, on a completely different level from the previous Demon King. Moreover, Shen Haoran had used up almost all of his Spiritual Power in the battle with the Demon King. Adding to that the aftereffects of using the Heaven-Dominating Tribulation, he had no way of dodging Ghost Gui’s strike.

BOOM!

But just in the nick of time, an immensely powerful Spiritual Thought erupted from within Shen Haoran. It transformed into a transparent bolt of energy and slammed directly into Ghost Gui’s chest. The terrifying power washed over him, sending the Spirit Emperor Peak powerhouse flying backward, spitting blood. His body skidded across the ground for dozens of meters before coming to a stop.

"My disciple is not for you to kill as you please." Just as everyone was reeling in shock, an ancient voice echoed across the empty plaza. A powerful Spiritual Thought pressure instantly descended, causing the expressions of everyone present to change drastically. Even the Wan Fa Ancestor had become extremely tense.

"Elder Yan!" Shen Haoran cried out in pleasant surprise upon hearing the voice. His expression soon turned to one of confusion, however. ’Isn’t Elder Yan only a Tier Five Spirit Emperor? How is this aura now...’

As Shen Haoran’s voice faded, a spectral figure slowly materialized in front of him. With Elder Yan’s appearance, the Spiritual Thought pressure surged once more, making the disciples and Elders feel an overwhelming urge to kneel!

"This aura... A Spirit Emperor Powerhouse!" the Elders stammered, staring at Elder Yan’s form with utter terror on their faces...
