Seeing that his sneak attack on the Demon Array had failed, the Jade Poison Great Saint was naturally unwilling to engage in Magical Combat with the White Bone Demon under the watchful eyes of five Nascent Soul cultivators.
He channeled his Demon Power, using the Celestial Snake Spear in his hand to parry the incoming White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer.
Immediately after, a cloud of dark-green poison mist erupted. Everything in its path was corroded into a puss-filled liquid. Even the seawater let out a terrifying, sizzling hiss of corrosion.
Within the toxic fog, a jade-green snake tail could be seen faintly thrashing about, attempting to flee back into the Grand Array.
"Where do you think you’re going, Jade Poison!"
The White Bone Demon’s vicious nature flared. He would never let the Jade Poison Great Saint escape so easily. The White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer in his hand immediately burst into raging Seven Yin Corpse Fire.
The Corpse Fire collided with the toxic fog, blasting open a corridor through the mist and forming a long bridge of Seven Yin Corpse Fire.
The White Bone Demon’s demonic eyes locked onto the Jade Poison Great Saint’s position. He swung the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer in his hands, aiming for the center of his back.
"A defeated foe like you dares to come seeking death!"
The Jade Poison Great Saint was enraged, his eyes transforming into cold, vertical pupils. He had spent half his life’s blood and toil—even destabilizing the very foundation of the Jade Poison Kingdom—all for this opportunity to break through to Divinity Transformation.
Now, on the cusp of success, this White Bone Demon had appeared to cause trouble. How could he not be filled with a bone-deep hatred? He wanted nothing more than to flay the man’s skin and shatter his bones.
He gripped a Big Spear of ancient design, spun around, and thrust out in a single, wrathful motion.
A phantom image of a Celestial Snake appeared over the spear’s body. Its scales were a brilliant jade-green, a single horn sprouted from its forehead, and it was a sight of magnificent beauty.
The moment the Celestial Snake phantom charged, the raging Seven Yin Corpse Fire was instantly scattered into disarray.
The White Bone Demon felt a pang of fear seeing the Jade Poison Great Saint’s true fury. His opponent hadn’t used such a powerful technique during their last Magical Combat.
But then he remembered the five comrades holding the line, and his courage returned. He summoned the Divine Power of his White Bone Dharma Aspect and, with the force to cleave mountains and sunder peaks, smashed it toward the Celestial Snake phantom.
BOOM!
The Celestial Snake phantom opened its massive jaws and bit down on the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer.
The White Bone Demon’s Dharma Power only managed to make the illusory Celestial Snake phantom shudder.
In the next instant, an incomparably sharp spearpoint shot out from within the Celestial Snake phantom, thrusting toward the White Bone Demon’s heart—the very location of his hidden Demon Soul.
With his Magical Treasure, the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer, caught, the White Bone Demon had no time to defend. He hadn’t expected to be pushed into such a life-threatening situation by the Jade Poison Great Saint in a single exchange.
He hurriedly used his hidden ace. CRACK! He arched his back, and his spine transformed into nine skulls. They gaped their mouths wide and spat out nine phantoms of a river of blood.
’Senior Brother White Bone has also been cultivating the Blood River Secret Technique? It seems he isn’t content to be just a Body Refining Demon Cultivator!’
The five Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators providing backup exchanged a glance. In the Demon Sect, Body Refining Demon Cultivators held a rather low status because a Demon Soul needed to forge a new body after ascension. Moreover, the Blood River Secret Technique was insidious and actually had a restraining effect on the Demon Scriptures of the White Bone path.
’If he hadn’t revealed it today, he might have eventually used it on his own fellow sect members.’
The Jade Poison Great Saint remained completely unfazed. The Celestial Snake Spear in his hand instantly quivered, unleashing nine incomparably sharp spear-lights that flicked away the nine blood rivers—each of which was powerful enough to instantly turn an area dozens of miles wide into a sea of blood.
Millions of Blood Pearls shot out in every direction, becoming innumerable bloody threads within the sea.
An unknown number of sea creatures were struck by the Blood Pearls, instantly dissolving into pools of foul blood.
The White Bone Demon seized the opportunity to yank the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer from the mouth of the Celestial Snake phantom.
"Such a petty trick, and you dare show it off!"
The Jade Poison Great Saint’s snake-like pupils seethed with killing intent. He spun his Celestial Snake Spear, unleashing a boundless flurry of spear-tip blurs as he charged the White Bone Demon.
Despite the White Bone Demon’s desperate defense, his White Bone Dharma Aspect was scraped raw, sending a shower of sparks into the water. He could only barely manage to protect his heart, the location of his Demon Soul.
BOOM!
With a deafening crash, the White Bone Demon’s battered White Bone Dharma Aspect was blasted into the seabed, the immense impact pulverizing the bedrock below.
Seeing how ferocious the Jade Poison Great Saint was, two of the five Nascent Soul cultivators providing backup hurriedly intervened to prevent the White Bone Demon from being killed on the spot.
Wielding the Celestial Snake Spear, the Jade Poison Great Saint didn’t fall into a disadvantage even while fighting three Nascent Soul cultivators at once. He showed no signs of collapsing, but simply fought as he retreated toward the Grand Array.
The three Demon Cultivators breathed a sigh of relief as the Jade Poison Great Saint retreated back into the Array.
’The Celestial Snake Inheritance of the Jade Poison Kingdom is truly something else.’
Although they hadn’t used their own trump cards, they definitely hadn’t been holding back. If they had risked everything to detain the Jade Poison Great Saint, they would have suffered grievous losses, and there was even a chance one of them might have fallen.
The White Bone Demon returned to his normal size. His already grim face was utterly devoid of color. Although his Magic Robe covered his body, the mottled wounds underneath were still visible.
The Jade Poison Great Saint’s spear carried a Poisonous Qi that burned the heart and corroded the bones. If not for his mastery of Body Refinement, which made his constitution far superior to that of an ordinary Nascent Soul, he might have already been poisoned to death on the spot.
Even so, he still had to swallow several of the Antitoxic Elixirs he had prepared in order to neutralize the poison.
"Attack! Refine this Array for me!"
The White Bone Demon roared in frustration and fury.
The Jade Poison Great Saint’s abilities had far exceeded his expectations. If the six of them expended too much Magical Power breaking the Grand Array, they might not have enough left to capture him.
BOOM!
The All Heaven Demon Fire Array activated, and billowing All Heaven Demon Fire began to scorch the Grand Array.
Under the searing heat of the Demon Fire, Yang You Old Demon began to see through the Grand Array’s various transformations. He continuously unleashed an assortment of array-breaking Magical Treasures and Array Banners, driving them into the Spirit Veins.
This Grand Array was passed down from the Celestial Snake and was naturally a top-tier formation. However, for tens of thousands of years, the Jade Poison Kingdom had failed to produce any masters of the Array Dao. Instead, the Array had suffered significant damage during the great battles that marked the kingdom’s various historical calamities.
Although each generation of Jade Poison Kingdom Sovereigns had spent resources to repair the Grand Array, they had only managed to barely maintain its functions, leaving behind all sorts of weaknesses.
These weaknesses were manageable on a normal day, but under the scorching heat of the All Heaven Demon Fire, they couldn’t possibly escape the notice of Yang You Old Demon’s demonic eyes.
One by one, the Spirit Veins that supplied the Grand Array were cut off. Under the corrosive burning of the Demon Fire, the once-stable Grand Array began to tremble.
The Jade Poison Great Saint, hiding inside the Array, had no other choice. He tried several times to break the All Heaven Demon Fire Array, but was stopped each time by the combined efforts of the six Nascent Soul Old Demons.
The successive battles between the seven Nascent Soul cultivators completely altered the underwater terrain. Their conflict rerouted Spirit Veins and caused subterranean fire to erupt from the seafloor.
Rampant surges of Demon Qi and Demonic Qi nearly boiled the sea dry.
BOOM!
The Grand Array protecting the Royal Palace finally collapsed. With a flash of brilliant light, it exploded.
"The Array is broken! The Array is broken!"
The great battle had long ago attracted countless observers. Other Nascent Soul Old Demons had already snuck into the area and hidden themselves. The moment they saw the Array shatter, they immediately rushed toward the Royal Palace.
