The dazzling stream of light only began to fade after several moments. The surrounding Five-Colored Cloud Barrier had been completely evaporated, and now it slowly billowed back in to fill the gap.
Yang Jing stood tall in the center of the gap in the Cloud Barrier. The umbrella-like shield he had constructed from Taiyin Demon Qi was completely gone, and even his Double-Pronged Fork was now heavily damaged.
His Moon Demon Aspect’s once pale, bloodless skin was now covered in scorch marks, revealing purplish-red flesh beneath. The hand gripping the Double-Pronged Fork was even missing three fingers.
Yang Jing circulated his Taiyin Demon Qi, and a dense, ominous energy surged forth to heal his wounds.
Even in his Moon Demon Aspect form, there was still a considerable gap in Power between him and Ah Guoshami. When Yang Jing had attacked with his full strength, he had only managed to inflict minor injuries. In contrast, a single blow from Ah Guoshami had left him severely wounded.
If his Taiyin Demon Qi hadn’t been so resistant to the Divine Light unleashed by Ah Guoshami, that single blow would have stripped him of most of his fighting power.
Ah Guoshami gave him no chance to catch his breath. With a flash of dazzling light, he was once again in front of Yang Jing, a brilliant Light Claw striking straight for his face.
Yang Jing raised his Double-Pronged Fork, skillfully deflecting the incredibly heavy blow. He used the momentum to flip backward in midair, then thrust his fork upward to block another Light Claw.
Taiyin Demon Qi and Divine Light clashed violently, each impact setting off a deafening explosion.
They exchanged dozens of blows. Ah Guoshami’s Divine Body was uncanny; not only could he conjure indestructible Light Claws from anywhere, but he could also move through the Divine Light, instantly teleporting to appear within any of its rays.
Yang Jing had already pushed the Flying Lightning Demon-Slaying Spear Mantra to its absolute limit.
This Spear Mantra, used by the Divine Generals of the Upper Realm’s Thunder Division to slay demons, had a seemingly endless number of ingenious applications. Some of its moves had initially baffled Yang Jing, who couldn’t imagine what kind of enemy would require them. Only now, fighting Ah Guoshami, did he discover how surprisingly effective they were.
As he channeled it with all his might, he transformed the cold, heavy Taiyin Demon Qi into something akin to Yin Thunder. It materialized as a ferocious Evil Dragon that coiled around his body, warding off the omnipresent Light Claws.
One after another, the incomparably sharp and searingly hot Light Claws were smashed away by the body of the roaring Evil Dragon.
Even so, Yang Jing was still covered in wounds from the Light Claws that slipped past his defenses. A fist-sized gash had been torn in his abdomen. If not for the protection of his Taiyin Demon Qi, he would have already been consumed by the corrosive Divine Light and incinerated into a cloud of ash.
"Go!"
Yang Jing’s eyes flashed as he perceived a Light Pearl behind him suddenly surging with Divine Power. Ah Guoshami was about to teleport. Executing a backward thrust, he stabbed behind himself with the Double-Pronged Fork.
After such a bitter battle, he had long since learned to recognize the telltale signs that preceded Ah Guoshami’s teleports.
The Evil Dragon formed from Taiyin Demon Qi tore through the air with a roar, unfurling like a war banner.
The next moment, the Light Pearl rapidly expanded, taking the form of Ah Guoshami. He had intended to ambush Yang Jing’s blind spot, but he never expected that the moment he materialized, he would be greeted by a ferocious Evil Dragon.
BOOM!
The Evil Dragon slammed into Ah Guoshami’s chest, setting off a violent explosion. While it failed to blast through his physical body, the impact sent countless droplets of golden Divine Blood spraying through the air.
The Divine Blood was searingly hot, igniting everything it touched. Wherever it landed, intensely hot white flames erupted.
The attack drove Ah Guoshami into a frenzy. Despite the damage to his Divine Body, he fought through the excruciating pain and swiped a hand at Yang Jing.
The next moment, a dazzling Light Claw shot out like a beam of light, piercing straight through Yang Jing’s body and blasting a massive hole in his chest.
Yang Jing coughed, spitting up a huge amount of Demon Blood. The frigid blood dripped to the ground, instantly freezing into crystalline flowers of frost.
"To think you could force me this far!"
Ah Guoshami was furious, his heart aching as he watched his scattered Divine Blood. This was his very essence. To replenish even a single lost drop required a grand blood sacrifice, using lesser gods as the offering.
If he lost any more, his Divine Body would become innately flawed. Forget about becoming a great god of the Celestial Wheel Realm; it would be difficult enough just to keep his Netherworld intact.
Dark Taiyin Demon Qi surged from Yang Jing’s body, healing his injuries and extinguishing the Divine Fire that clung to him like a persistent plague.
Outer Celestial Demons and Evil Gods were very similar in some respects; as long as they had enough Demonic Qi to draw upon, they could rapidly heal any damage to their physical bodies.
However, this brief Magical Combat had already consumed nearly a third of his Taiyin Demon Qi.
His Magical Power hadn’t been full when he used Fetal Transformation into an Alien Form to assume his Moon Demon Aspect, but with the additional Demonic Qi from the Demon-Catching Tripod, his power was not far from its peak.
This gave Yang Jing an even deeper understanding of Ah Guoshami’s terrifying Power.
’Fortunately, an Evil God like him must be exceedingly rare, even in the Primordial Storage Realm,’ Yang Jing thought. ’Otherwise, the Nine Heavens World would be in grave danger.’
Neither was willing to give the other a chance to breathe, and after a brief pause, they were at each other’s throats again.
The continuous, violent clashes between the Divine Light and the Taiyin Demon Qi forced the surrounding Five-Colored Cloud Barrier back for hundreds of yards. Below them, the aftershocks of their battle had left the ground a devastated wasteland, completely devoid of life.
Yang Jing knew it was nearly impossible to land a fatal blow on Ah Guoshami with his Taiyin Demon Qi alone. Instead, he focused all his attacks on the wound the Evil Dragon had blasted open earlier, attempting to widen the injury and tear through Ah Guoshami’s indestructible Divine Body.
Ah Guoshami did the same, keeping his attacks aimed squarely at Yang Jing’s head. He had already determined that Yang Jing, transformed into the Moon Demon, had almost no vital points; only by destroying the head that housed his Primordial Spirit could he be killed with a single blow.
He had even forgotten the purpose of his mission, now wanting only to utterly annihilate the man before him and vent the hatred in his heart.
Amidst the brutal fighting, Yang Jing’s left leg and half of his abdomen had vanished completely. Meanwhile, the skin on Ah Guoshami’s chest had been utterly torn away, revealing the golden-red muscle tissue beneath.
Yang Jing’s resolve hardened. His Double-Pronged Fork, which had been maintaining an impenetrable defense, suddenly trembled, revealing a slight opening.
Ah Guoshami was overjoyed and instantly seized the opening. A Light Claw carved an arc through the air, piercing through Yang Jing’s torso from the side.
Purple Demon Blood rained down.
The next instant, the Light Claw piercing Yang Jing rapidly expanded and transformed into Ah Guoshami. Ecstatic, he clawed for Yang Jing’s head.
"I will miss you!"
BOOM!
The Five Fire Child, hidden within the Cloud Barrier, suddenly unleashed a blindingly brilliant bolt of Five Fire Divine Thunder. The divine lightning descended from the heavens, causing Ah Guoshami to falter for an instant.
Yang Jing seized the opportunity. His physical body suddenly dissolved into a cloud of Taiyin Demon Qi, causing Ah Guoshami’s hand to grasp at empty air. He instantly reformed behind Ah Guoshami, the Double-Pronged Fork in his hand having already transformed into a Taiyin Lock Chain.
The Taiyin Lock Chain, shimmering with myriad Talismanic Scripts, coiled tightly around Ah Guoshami’s body.
This transformation was an extremely dangerous gamble for Yang Jing.
While his body was transformed into Taiyin Demon Qi, he was at his most vulnerable. If Ah Guoshami had unleashed a flare of light, he could have instantly inflicted severe damage on Yang Jing’s Primordial Spirit.
Feeling the dark, ice-cold Taiyin Lock Chain coiling around him, Ah Guoshami was overcome with a nameless fury.
"More of these pointless tricks!"
An intensely hot, radiant flame erupted all over his body, but the Taiyin Lock Chain contained Innate Pure Yin Qi that Yang Jing had infused into it. For the moment, he was unable to break free.
"Celestial Waterfall!"
The sky suddenly blazed with endless, dazzling starlight. The Celestial Waterfall Sword hung high in the air, the pale-faced Heavenly Waterfall Child standing silently beside it. His hands were formed in a Sword Mantra seal, holding back a terrifying Sword Gang capable of shattering mountains, waiting to be unleashed.
At Yang Jing’s shout, the Heavenly Waterfall Child immediately merged with the sword, transforming into a sky-shaking stellar rainbow that plunged straight down.
The sword was so fast that in the same instant the stellar rainbow appeared, the incomparably sharp Sword Gang had already struck the wound on Ah Guoshami’s chest.
This time, the Celestial Waterfall Sword was not turned away. Its blade pierced straight through Ah Guoshami’s chest, drank its fill of Divine Blood, and burst out his back.
Ah Guoshami’s eyes widened to their absolute limit as he stared down at his own chest. A ghastly, gaping hole was now pierced through it, and cracks were even beginning to spread outward from the wound.
