A rattling sound, like a great python slithering, echoed as the Lock Chains binding the Exotic Demon gradually dissipated. Wisps of the Demon’s destructive Demonic Qi seeped through the gaps in the chains until, finally, they burst forth in a torrential flood.
Nine Yang stood before this overwhelming tide of Demonic Qi.
The insidious Demonic Qi was instantly annihilated the moment it touched the nine sun wheels, turning to ash and smoke.
Suddenly, a strange Demon Sound echoed. It was on the left one moment and the right the next, until it seemed to come from all directions at once, completely surrounding Nine Yang.
The Demon Sound was plaintive, like a lament. At times, it sounded like a mother cooing to her infant, or a lover calling to her husband. Then, it would abruptly shift, transforming into a ferocious, malevolent curse.
Ever-changing and all-pervasive.
Yang Jing had Nine Yang simply sit cross-legged in the void. The nine sun wheels unleashed a brilliant Divine Light, which pierced the Demon Sound like a billion divine needles.
The bewitching Charm Power of the Demon Sound, which could delude one’s Divine Soul, was immediately diminished.
Seeing its Demon Sound being countered by the Divine Light, the Exotic Demon didn’t stop. Instead, it unleashed a dazzling, seven-colored demon light that shot out to clash with the Divine Light of the sun wheels.
For a moment, the world was filled with nothing but the faint echoes of the Demon Sound and the fierce flashes of clashing Divine Light and demon light. It was as if they had been transported to the Demon Realm of the Outer Realm.
Suddenly, a beam of Yin-Yang Demon Light pierced straight through the Divine Light, shooting directly toward Yang Jing.
Great Sun Demon Light and Taiyin Moonlight were both top-tier offensive Divine Techniques among Outer Celestial Demons. When the two were combined, their destructive power reached the level of a Divine Prohibition, its might soaring exponentially.
Nine Yang didn’t block it head-on. In an instant, it shifted from absolute stillness to extreme motion. Executing the Nine Steps of Spiritual Void, it instantly teleported over thirty zhang away.
The terrifying Yin-Yang Demon Light shot across the entire sky, looking as if it would slice the very heavens and earth in two.
Yang Jing’s heart sank. ’This power is terrifying. It’s already surpassed the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Prohibition. Even with the Indestructible Golden Body Divine Technique, Nine Yang would be severely wounded if that hit.’
The next instant, a ferocious figure emerged silently from within the dazzling demon light behind Nine Yang. Wielding a crescent-moon spade, it struck at Nine Yang’s spine.
It was an exceptionally vicious strike, clearly aimed at Yang Jing within the Nine Yang body.
Yang Jing was startled. ’The Nine Steps of Spiritual Void isn’t like an Escape Technique; it requires a brief moment to recover energy after each use. Those seven Nascent Soul Demon Kings from before couldn’t see these details I tried so hard to hide. It must be the Celestial Slaughter Demon Saint who spotted this opening.’
He reached into one of the sun wheels behind him and pulled out a crow-headed Golden Spear.
The nine sun wheels were the product of Celestial True Gang being highly condensed and qualitatively transformed within the Acupoints. Condensing the Gang Qi into a weapon was a simple matter. Aside from dispersing once its Gang Qi was depleted, this crow-headed Golden Spear was in no way inferior to a Tier Four Divine Weapon.
CLANG!
With a deafening clang, the crow-headed Golden Spear parried the crescent-moon spade.
The shriek of metal on metal tore through the clouds, its echo shaking the very heavens.
An image of the Nine Phoenixes suddenly flared to life on the crescent-moon spade, unleashing an endless torrent of Nine Nether Ghost Car Demon Fire. Not to be outdone, the Golden Spear’s pair of golden crow eyes burst with Divine Light, and Yang Pole True Fire bloomed like golden flowers within the Demon Fire.
The Exotic Demon’s phoenix head flickered with a dazzling demon light as it leaped into the air. An infinite Power, heavy as a mountain, surged down the shaft of the crescent-moon spade and pressed down on Nine Yang’s body.
It would be no exaggeration to say that Nine Yang’s Qi Power was enough to move mountains and part seas. Yet, under the Exotic Demon’s endless Abnormal Power, it was actually forced into a disadvantage.
Its very skeleton, forged from Pure Yang Apricot Tree and Red Sun Refined Copper, began to groan and creak under the immense strain.
The shaft of the crow-headed Golden Spear was slowly being forced down against its back.
The next moment, the Exotic Demon’s eyes unleashed a beam of Yin-Yang Demon Light, shooting straight for Nine Yang’s head.
In that instant, dodging seemed impossible.
At this critical juncture, Nine Yang’s head suddenly flew right off its neck, causing the Yin-Yang Demon Light—a blow that would have shattered its skull—to hit nothing but air.
Before the head could even reattach, Yang Jing seized the opportunity. While the Exotic Demon was momentarily distracted by the flying head, he had Nine Yang erupt with Celestial True Gang, blasting the Demon’s body into the air.
"Divine Sun Slash!"
Nine Yang raised one arm, its hand held like a blade, and chopped down at the distant Exotic Demon.
The blazing Celestial True Gang coalesced into a divine blade that stretched across the sky. It slashed out in a single, razor-thin line and vanished in a flash.
The Exotic Demon barely had time to raise its crescent-moon spade to defend, managing only to protect its vital points. In an instant, the Divine Sun Slash carved a golden wound across its incomparably powerful demonic body.
Yang Pole True Fire clung to the gash, blazing fiercely and preventing it from healing.
The Exotic Demon roared in fury. Billowing Demon Flame erupted from the wound and extinguished the Yang Pole True Fire.
It brandished its crescent-moon spade and resumed its fierce battle with Yang Jing.
As the battle raged on, it grew more accustomed to its newly formed demonic body. It began to wield all manner of Celestial Demon Divine Techniques and abilities with effortless ease, its combat power steadily climbing.
Nine Yang showed no signs of weakness. Amidst the exchange, the rapidly circulating Celestial True Gang was constantly tempering its own nascent shell. The myriad Martial Arts and comprehended Magic of the Nine Yang Body shifted and adapted, countering the Exotic Demon’s strange and unpredictable techniques.
Even though their battle was taking place far away in the North Pole Heaven, the sheer scale of the commotion still attracted the attention of certain powerful individuals.
One Nascent Soul Cultivator, thinking an Exotic Treasure had appeared in the North Pole Heaven, rode his Magical Treasure and soared upward. The moment he laid eyes on the Exotic Demon, he was struck with terror and immediately turned to flee. Even so, he was nearly ensnared by the Demon Sound and afflicted by Demon Contamination.
"Hah!"
The crow-headed Golden Spear in Nine Yang’s hands blurred, delivering hundreds of thrusts in a single instant.
The sharp glints of the spear transformed into a flock of countless Golden Crows, which swarmed the Exotic Demon from all directions.
The Exotic Demon’s eyes flashed. It once again unleashed a beam of Yin-Yang Demon Light, annihilating the swarming Golden Crows. Any that managed to slip through were swatted out of the air by its crescent-moon spade.
"Have you run out of tricks? Is that all you’ve got? Then prepare to be torn to shreds by me!"
It raised the crescent-moon spade high.
BOOM!
A bolt of abyssal thunder-fire, part flame and part lightning, coiled around the crescent-moon spade.
Yang Jing sensed an immense and terrifying power from that abyssal thunder-fire. ’The might of this attack,’ he thought, ’is likely even greater than the Yin-Yang Demon Light.’
The next moment, he plunged his left arm into one of the sun wheels.
The sun wheel transformed into a double-arced shield emblazoned with the insignia of a Golden Crow, which Nine Yang gripped firmly. The sides of the golden shield were shaped like flames, resembling churning waves of golden fire.
"Die!"
The Exotic Demon roared and dove down, spade in hand. The heavy crescent-moon spade descended with crushing force. Before it even drew near, its overwhelming presence became suffocating.
Nine Yang’s face, which bore some resemblance to Yang Jing’s, was completely expressionless. It simply raised the flame-edged shield before it.
BOOM!
A cataclysmic, thunderous explosion erupted.
The moment the rolling thunder-fire touched the golden shield, it swelled explosively, becoming a monstrous sea of lightning and fire that completely engulfed Nine Yang’s colossal form.
Endless Demon Thunder and Demon Fire churned within the fiery sea, as if the world had reverted to the primordial chaos at the dawn of creation.
