Although Ah Guoshami had inherited a massive amount of knowledge from the Primordial Seed, less than a year had passed since his consciousness awakened. Before meeting Yang Jing, he had never even personally experienced what pain felt like.
After the Celestial Waterfall Sword pierced through his Divine Body, he was suddenly plunged into immense fear, completely at a loss.
'How can this be?' Ah Guoshami's ambitions were boundless. He had planned to conquer the Nine Heavens World, claim a Fiefdom for himself, and build his own Divine Temple. He would become a regional Main God, just like Father God, White God, feasting daily on the sacrificial offerings of his followers.
How could his ambitions end here?
Scalding Divine Blood gushed from the wound, and an unprecedentedly searing radiance erupted around his body. Even the Spiritual Light Chains, which had been reinforced by Innate Taiyin Qi, began to show signs of failing under the blast of fiery light.
Yang Jing had managed to severely wound Ah Guoshami only with great difficulty; he could not possibly allow him to break free again.
He clapped his palms together, and the Taiyin Lock Chain binding Ah Guoshami flew high into the sky.
"Taiyin Sealing God!"
Yang Jing shouted, activating the Moon Demon's Talent Divine Techniques. He drew all the Yin Qi from a hundred-mile radius and, through the body of his Moon Demon Aspect, converted it into an incredibly heavy and frigid Taiyin Demon Qi.
Countless Taiyin Demon Qi Lock Chains blotted out the sky. Converging like countless rivers flowing to the sea, they surged toward Ah Guoshami's body, enveloping him completely and reinforcing the sealing power of the Taiyin Lock Chain.
It was fortunate that the Spiritual Mechanism within the Nine Marvels Small Realm was so incredibly abundant. Otherwise, even Yang Jing, using his Moon Demon Aspect, would have been unable to summon such a massive amount of Yin Qi.
Only a few breaths later, a pitch-black, lightless full moon, seven to eight zhang in diameter, appeared high in the sky.
Countless Talismanic Scripts floated within the Demon Moon, like a school of fish.
BOOM!
The Taiyin Demon Moon trembled terrifyingly, causing the Spiritual Mechanism high in the air to fluctuate violently in tandem. The entire sky blurred as a result.
Yang Jing desperately formed spell seals, struggling to maintain the Moon Phase. He could divert some of Ah Guoshami's struggles into the fabric of the Nine Marvels Small Realm, but he still endured immense pressure, as if trapped at the bottom of an abyss ten thousand zhang deep.
A Light Claw suddenly pierced through the ink-black moon, clawing its way out in an attempt to break free from the Moon Phase's seal. From the backlash, several cracks instantly appeared on Yang Jing's skin, and Demon Blood gushed out.
"Get back in there!"
he roared.
A dozen or so Taiyin Demon Qi Lock Chains, like maggots clinging to bone, wrapped around the Light Claw and dragged it back into the Demon Moon.
"Celestial Waterfall, Five Fires!"
he called out.
The two Children immediately appeared before Yang Jing. The Five Fire Child was alright, merely listless from consuming too much of its source energy. The Heavenly Waterfall Child, however, had begun to show symptoms of being burned, even as an Artifact Spirit, because she had pierced Ah Guoshami's Divine Body.
But knowing this was a critical moment in the fight, neither of them dared to show the slightest hesitation.
"Search the strata below. Find me some Yin-aspected Spiritual Ores and Spiritual Gold."
Yang Jing told the two. Their elemental attributes clashed with the Taiyin Demon Qi in the sky, so they could offer no assistance at this critical juncture. In fact, they would only interfere with the Taiyin Demon Qi's seal.
Although the two Children didn't know Artifact Refining, they had watched Yang Jing direct the Profound Celestial Child in Artifact Refining for years. Through constant exposure, they had naturally gained a fair bit of understanding about it.
It was more than enough for the task of finding Yin-aspected Spiritual Ores and Spiritual Gold.
After giving his orders, Yang Jing resumed drawing Yin Qi from even farther away, converting it into Taiyin Demon Qi to strengthen the seal.
He had already drawn all the nearby Yin Qi and condensed it into the Demon Moon in the sky. Combined with the vast amount of scorching Divine Blood that Ah Guoshami had spilled, the temperature within a hundred-mile radius began to rise sharply. The Yin and Yang were thrown out of balance, creating a bizarre natural phenomenon.
BOOM!
The Demon Moon in the sky trembled violently again, causing heaven and earth to shake. Yang Jing let out a muffled grunt as blood spurted from all over his body.
Knowing he was trapped in a desperate situation, Ah Guoshami grew even more ferocious and stubborn, his struggles growing stronger and stronger.
Yang Jing let out a long breath. 'As expected. With my current Power, severely wounding Ah Guoshami is my absolute limit. My Lifebound Flying Sword, the Celestial Waterfall Sword, would be destroyed long before I could ever slay him.'
'A creature this troublesome should just be sealed for now. When the year is up and I leave the Nine Marvels Small Realm, I'll let the people from the Nine Marvels Sect deal with him.'
BOOM!
Another thunderous boom. Yang Jing felt several of his Moon Demon Aspect's hardest Demon Bones shatter from the shock, and he vomited a large mouthful of Demon Blood.
The Five Fire Gourd and the Celestial Waterfall Sword finally returned. The Five Fire Gourd opened its mouth and spat out a huge pile of Yin Spiritual Materials, forming a small hill on the ground. These materials had been buried deep underground; the two Children had exhausted their remaining Magical Power to split open the earth's strata and find them.
The Heavenly Waterfall Child, who was already severely injured, was now as pale as a sheet.
Upon seeing the materials, Yang Jing kept one hand steady in the formation of the Sealing Spell while his other began to form a new one. A thick current of Taiyin Demon Qi, like a stream of water, engulfed the Yin Spiritual Materials, emitting a sizzling sound like powerful acid.
Countless impurities were instantly corroded away, leaving only the purest essence, rich with Spiritual Essence, floating within the Demonic Qi.
Since Yang Jing couldn't revert to his original body to perform Artifact Refining with the Five Elements True Fire, he decided to simply use the Taiyin Demon Qi instead.
Under the infusion of Taiyin Demon Qi, the essences of the spiritual materials slowly dissolved into the Demonic Qi.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a mass of thick, black liquid appeared before Yang Jing. Having dissolved all the spiritual materials, the liquid presented an iridescent black, possessing a strange magical power that could mesmerize anyone with a single glance.
Yang Jing continuously formed spell seals, using his Divine Sense as a mold. He divided the large mass of liquid into twelve portions, shaped each one, and imprinted countless Celestial Demon Talismanic Scripts into them.
He had previously obtained several Top Tier Cultivation Methods from the Demon Sects and, relying on the Demon-Catching Tripod, had even refined Infinite Outer Celestial Demons. His understanding of the Celestial Demon Talismanic Script was far beyond that of any Nascent Soul from the Demon Sects.
As the Talismanic Scripts were driven in, twelve Demon Artifacts instantly took shape.
With a thought, Yang Jing borrowed the abundant Yang Qi that had surged due to the imbalance of Yin and Yang in the world, using it to temper the twelve Demon Artifacts.
A moment later, twelve beams of demonic light shot toward the sky. Within the light, twelve Demon Artifacts—a hook, a spear, a trident, a hammer, a mace, and others—rose and fell, radiating incomparably powerful fluctuations of Demonic Qi.
As their Artifact Refiner, even Yang Jing hadn't expected the twelve Demon Artifacts he had so hastily forged to possess such immense power. Although they were weaker than the Celestial Waterfall Sword, the Demon-Catching Tripod, and the Five Fire Child, they were in no way inferior to the reforged Profound Celestial Furnace.
With a thought, the twelve Demon Artifacts soared into the sky and pierced into the Demon Moon from all directions.
Hysterical screams from Ah Guoshami immediately rang out from within the Demon Moon, nearly loud enough to rupture eardrums.
The constantly fluctuating Demon Moon instantly stabilized after being pierced by the twelve Demon Artifacts. It now truly resembled a full moon, hanging between heaven and earth.
Yang Jing felt the terrifying burden on his body lighten. He immediately let out a long sigh of relief and reverted to his original body.
He had forged these twelve Demon Artifacts in imitation of the All Heaven Demon Fire Array. As one of the most powerful Arrays of the Northern Demon Sect, the All Heaven Demon Fire Array, when pushed to its limits, could even condense a supreme existence like the Yama True Body. While these Demon Artifacts couldn't condense a being of such overwhelming demonic power as the Yama True Body, they could condense a Moon Demon True Body.
And a Demon King-level Moon Demon True Body at that.
At least until all the Yin Qi in a ten-thousand-li radius was consumed, Ah Guoshami would not be able to escape the Demon Moon's seal.
Back in his original form, Yang Jing felt pain everywhere in his body. It was difficult to even move a finger, and his Dantian, once as full as an ocean, was almost completely depleted. He set aside the Demon-Catching Tripod he was holding and ordered the Wanhua Child and the Five Fire Child to stand guard. Then, with some difficulty, he assumed the "five hearts to heaven" meditation posture, suspended the Five Elements Wheel behind him, and began to absorb Spiritual Mechanism to recover his Magical Power. Finally, he drew the Celestial Waterfall Sword into his Dantian to nurture it.
The Celestial Waterfall Sword had been damaged by the Divine Blood. Of his three Magical Treasures, its injuries were the most severe, and it required continuous nurturing to recover.
The Wanhua Child and the Five Fire Child both had taut expressions on their small faces, not daring to be careless in the slightest as they guarded Yang Jing's front and back. They knew this was their master's weakest moment, and he absolutely could not be disturbed.
"Two very spirited Magical Treasures," a voice suddenly rang out.
The Wanhua Child and the Five Fire Child bristled instantly. The Wanhua Child activated the Demon-Catching Tripod, completely covering Yang Jing within it. The Five Fire Child shot high into the air as countless bolts of dazzling Five Fire Divine Thunder formed a net of lightning, ready to strike.
"You two, there's no need for that."
A hand tapped lightly. The Demon-Catching Tripod reverted to its original form, and the net of lightning was completely erased.
"Do you know who I am?"
A young man with long, unbound hair and dressed in a somewhat ancient style looked at Yang Jing with a faint smile.
Yang Jing stopped the Wanhua Child and the Five Fire Child. If he hadn't stopped them in time, the Five Fire Child, with its stern and unyielding nature, would have likely detonated its own Restrictions to take the opponent down with it.
"You must be the master of this Nine Marvels Small Realm, the Sect-Guarding Treasure of the Nine Marvels Sect, Senior Nine Marvels Creation Tripod,"
he said, looking at the young man and speaking each word deliberately.
The young man was startled. He hadn't expected Yang Jing to guess his origins. He had wanted to see what kind of interesting expression Yang Jing would make after fighting an Evil God with all his might, only to immediately encounter an even stronger one.
"How did you figure it out?"
