Yang Jing took the Golden Sword, and ignoring the demon’s frantic struggles, lopped off its head with a single strike.
The huge head rolled several times before coming to a stop on the ground.
The Sun and Moon Demon Eyes within it suddenly lit up, unleashing the Sun and Moon Demon Light.
Nine Yang snatched up the flame shield and held it in front of him.
Before launching this strike, the demon had anticipated that Yang Jing was about to behead it. It had condensed nearly all its Demon Fiend into its head to launch this final attack.
BOOM!
The devastating Sun and Moon Demon Light bombarded the flame shield, continuously grinding away the Celestial True Gang on its surface. The immense impact even pushed Nine Yang’s body into the mountainside.
The hard mountain rock continuously crumbled and broke apart.
Nine Yang bored straight through the entire cliff. Mustering his remaining strength, he deflected the Sun and Moon Demon Light into the sky.
Dozens of breaths later, the sky-rending Sun and Moon Demon Light finally dissipated, blasting a huge hole in the sky. Looking up, one could even see the ceaselessly leaping True Thunder of the higher realms.
Yang Jing took the flame shield and examined it. The shield, which had blocked countless attacks for Nine Yang, was now covered in hideous scorch marks and was on the verge of being completely ruined.
He controlled Nine Yang to plant the shield in the ground. The entire shield instantly dissolved into Celestial Yang Qi and vanished without a trace.
"Satisfying! How satisfying! A pity that final blow couldn’t take your life!"
The demon’s head roared with laughter, looking as if it could die without regret.
Nine Yang took up a golden bow, fired an arrow, and pierced straight through its cranium.
Even with its brain pierced, the demon managed to laugh three more times before finally dying.
Yang Jing wrapped the demon’s body in a bolt of golden light and picked up its head, but he did not place them into his Inner World. He was extremely wary of Celestial Slaughter’s methods. If there were some hidden trap left on the demon, the existence of his Inner World would be exposed.
He dared not imagine what the Celestial Slaughter Demon Saint would think if he learned of the Celestial Demon Park’s existence.
From a nearby city, three beams of Tunneling Light flew out.
"Congratulations, Ancestor, on slaying this demon! Is there anything we of Feiyang City can do for you? If you have any commands, we would not dare to refuse in the slightest."
Yang Jing looked at the three white-haired Cultivators. The strongest was only at the Early Stage of Golden Core, while the other two only had Foundation Establishment Cultivation.
"The Demon Fiend harbored by this demon is no small matter. I will cast a Spiritual Rain to see if I can neutralize some of it. For the next ten years, no Cultivator below Golden Core should approach this mountain, lest they be corrupted by the Demonic Qi."
As he spoke, he used Nine Yang’s body to cast a Spiritual Rain Technique.
Yang Jing had already reached the Peak of Perfection in the Five Elements Escape Technique, and he also had the incomparably powerful Human Puppet, Nine Yang, to assist him.
When he cast an ordinary Spiritual Rain, a technique even Qi Refining Cultivators could master, it was powerful enough to change the weather.
As soon as the Spiritual Rain Technique was cast, winds surged and clouds gathered in the sky, followed by the sound of roaring thunder. A moment later, a torrential downpour began, covering an area of a hundred-li radius.
For a time, mountains and rivers alike were all shrouded in a watery mist.
The rain contained Yang Qi that Yang Jing had drawn in. The moment it touched the residual Demonic Qi on the ground, it made a sizzling sound.
Some mortals even discovered that the rainwater had healing properties. Chronic illnesses were cured without medicine under the downpour. One after another, they ran into the streets to catch the rain.
Yang Jing glanced over, confirmed there would be no major issues, and then hoisted the demon’s corpse and flew off in a rainbow streak.
He had only flown halfway when he suddenly stopped.
The Huang Tian Spirit Suppression Lock stood before him.
"Senior."
The Huang Tian Spirit Suppression Lock held a Treasure Pearl in its palm.
The Treasure Pearl was cyan, crystal-clear, and surrounded by a halo of Five-Colored light. A single glance revealed it to be a rare and ultimate treasure.
"This pearl came here because of you, and you are skilled in Artifact Refining. Perhaps it is heaven’s will that I give it to you."
Huang Tian sighed softly. He relaxed his hand, and the Shenxiao Sea-Calming Pearl flew toward Yang Jing.
Yang Jing didn’t dare to be careless. This was the Artifact Embryo of a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure! Countless Divinity Transformation Cultivators, lacking a proper inheritance, were still using Tier Four Magical Treasures.
He carefully placed the Shenxiao Sea-Calming Pearl into his Treasure Bottle.
"When this pearl’s Restrictions were still intact, it had the divine ability to evolve into a world. In the Upper Realm, the Shenxiao Sect’s mountain gate was situated within the Shenxiao Heaven, a realm evolved from seven of these Shenxiao Sea-Calming Pearls. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack, rendering them invincible. But it was a matter of fate. When the Central Continent fell, it sustained the greatest impact."
Huang Tian sighed with complex emotions and took out an Inheritance Jade Scroll.
Within the Shenxiao Heaven, he had existed as a net of law, maintaining order. His relationship with this Shenxiao Sea-Calming Pearl was the deepest.
"This is the method for Refining the Shenxiao Sea-Calming Pearl. If you can re-refine the pearl, you should remove the ’Shenxiao’ name. All karmic ties between this pearl and the Shenxiao Sect have been severed; there is no longer any connection."
Before Yang Jing could thank him, the Huang Tian Spirit Suppression Lock had already vanished.
He had no choice but to put away the Sea-Calming Pearl and fly to the outskirts of the Nine Marvels Small Realm.
A pulling force emanated, and the next moment, he was inside the Nine Marvels Small Realm.
"Foul! How foul! Why did you bring this corpse in here?"
Nine Marvels pinched his nose in displeasure, looking the demon’s body up and down.
"Senior, could you examine this demon and this pearl? See if the Celestial Slaughter Demon Saint left any tricks behind."
Although he didn’t say it out loud, Yang Jing was quite grateful that Nine Marvels had invited the Huang Tian Spirit Suppression Lock to watch over him.
’Knowing the Celestial Slaughter Demon Saint’s ways, if I had been Crossing the Demon Tribulation alone, he definitely wouldn’t have played by the rules.’
When Nine Marvels saw the Sea-Calming Pearl, his eyes lit up.
"I never thought that old geezer Huang Tian would actually give you this pearl. Back in the day, the Shenxiao Sect’s possession of the Shenxiao Heaven made all the other Sects burn with envy. A pity that re-refining this treasure won’t be easy. Tier Six Spiritual Materials are virtually extinct in the Nine Heavens World. Even I can’t just conjure them out of thin air."
Then, he glanced at the demon’s corpse with disgust.
In the void of the Nine Marvels Small Realm, the phantom of a four-legged Treasure Tripod suddenly appeared.
The Treasure Tripod released a beam of Divine Light that shone upon the demon’s corpse. A series of shrill demonic howls erupted from within the corpse as countless Demon Souls fled, only to be turned to ash by the Divine Light.
Even after forcing out so many Demon Souls, Nine Marvels didn’t stop, continuing to maintain the Divine Light.
A moment later, a Demon Shadow flew out from the demon’s body.
"Nine Marvels, you’ve been a skinflint your whole life, yet you’d go this far for a mere junior. I’ll admit defeat this time."
Although the Demon Shadow was a manifestation of the Celestial Slaughter Demon Saint, it was still reduced to ash under the Divine Light.
"Thank you, Senior."
’I knew the Celestial Slaughter Demon Saint must have left a trap on the demon’s corpse, but I never expected it to be hidden so deeply.’
"No need for thanks. Just Refine three more Tier Four Magical Treasures for me, and we’ll call it even."
The phantom of Nine Marvels’s main body faded away as he spoke, rubbing his fingers together.
’That old ghost Celestial Slaughter was just slandering me. I might be a bit stingy with my Spirit Stones, but I know full well which is more important: generating revenue or cutting costs.’
