The Grey Rat's Demon Path

Chapter 181: Chapter 165-166: Profiting from the Chaos, Dust-Sealed Memories

Within Cloud Sea Peak, only the fifth mountain, Shuyun Peak, was barely holding on, protected by its Array.

On the other four peaks, the Array Restrictions had been completely broken, and the Tribulation Cultivator Demons were locked in battle with the peak’s resident Demons.

Although Cloud Sea Peak had many Demons skilled in Magical Combat, most of them focused on refining their Skills. They weren’t exactly poor fighters, but against a group of Tribulation Cultivators who constantly walked the line between life and death, they quickly found themselves at a disadvantage.

In just a short time, several Foundation Establishment Great Demons had been killed on the spot.

"Kill them! Leave no one alive!"

"Run!"

"Ah, damn it! They have a Trapping Magical Artifact!"

"Break! Break! Break! Let me break through! Ahhh..."

"Heheheh~ Where do you think you’re running!"

...

With the Quasi-Magical Treasure, the Cyan Jade Bowl, present, there was no escape.

The Peacock Demon felt a thrill of exhilaration as he controlled the Quasi-Magical Treasure, the Cyan Jade Bowl.

Whenever a straggler slipped through, he would cast a simple spell to interfere.

As a top-tier Great Demon, even a casual spell from him was something an ordinary Great Demon would have to use all their strength to deal with.

SHHIIING!

A cold glint of light suddenly appeared!

An incredibly sharp glint of light shot straight for the Peacock Demon.

"What is that!?"

The Peacock Demon had spent years walking the line between life and death; his experience in Magical Combat was extraordinary.

Despite the suddenness of the attack, he still managed to sense it ahead of time.

His Demon Power erupted as he summoned a Defensive Magical Artifact.

A shield of ice, shimmering with blue light, appeared to protect him.

The Supreme-grade Magical Artifact, the Ice Shield!

He had obtained this Magical Artifact by killing another top-tier Great Demon.

It was a masterpiece among Supreme-grade Magical Artifacts!

Its defensive power was formidable!

Seeing the Ice Shield protecting him, the Peacock Demon felt a sliver of relief. He wanted to employ further defensive measures.

However, the glint of light was far too fast; it was already upon him.

CLANG~

The sound of a violent collision rang out suddenly!

The sound echoed all around, sending out ripples of sonic waves.

’I blocked it!’

The Peacock Demon felt a wave of relief.

He was just about to slap on an Attacking Demon Talisman to return the favor.

But then a golden light flashed, unleashing an indescribably sharp slash.

It had the form of a Hairpin, but it struck with the force of a blade.

It carried the intent of sharpness, yet it delivered a slash of tyrannical, invincible power!

"What!?"

The Peacock Demon was horrified.

In a split second, the Ice Shield instantly dented, then shattered.

The tyrannical, invincible slash struck the Peacock Demon head-on.

"Block it!"

With a crazed look in his eyes, the Peacock Demon’s Protective Demon Power erupted from his entire body!

Holding nothing back, he deployed his trump card: a Quasi-Tier Three Demon Talisman.

A halo of light swirled, blocking the path before him.

BOOM!

The Peacock Demon was blasted into a mountainside.

He smashed a huge crater into it, sending rocks and rubble tumbling down.

WHOOSH!

The Peacock Demon’s face was pale, his mouth was covered in blood, and his feathers were tattered. He looked utterly wretched.

The power of that slash had been immense, but regardless, he had managed to block it!

BOOM!

From the sky, a pillar of cyan light descended.

The trapping Quasi-Magical Treasure, the Cyan Jade Bowl, unleashed its power of confinement!

The Cyan Jade Bowl could form a field of confinement to resist attacks.

WHOOSH!

A Longsword appeared in a surprise attack, piercing toward the Peacock Demon’s body.

At the same time, a phantom image several dozen feet long lunged out like a venomous snake.

The two attacks arrived almost simultaneously.

BOOM! BOOM!

Two consecutive, earth-shattering bangs.

The Peacock Demon was blasted backward.

As he was thrown back, his mind raced, trying to identify his assailant.

’Just who is this!?

This level of attack... it’s on par with a Quasi-Demon King!’

’Retreat!’

The Peacock Demon made his decision in an instant.

The recent attacks had been ferocious. If he hadn’t used his trump cards one after another, he would have likely died on the spot!

With a Quasi-Demon King involved, the situation was no longer something he could control.

Just as the Peacock Demon was using the force of the last blast to make his escape...

...a Golden Lion, its entire body a brilliant gold, appeared at his side. It swiped a massive claw at him, which glinted with an uncanny sharpness.

’Since when!?’

The Peacock Demon was startled.

He hurriedly slapped on a High-Quality Defense Demon Talisman of Tier Two High Grade.

A defensive barrier that looked like a film of water enveloped the Peacock Demon.

However, under this claw, the watery film was useless, and the blow struck the Peacock Demon’s body directly.

RRRIP~

The Peacock Demon’s body was nearly torn in two. His figure plummeted downwards like a kite with a broken string.

The Peacock Demon’s consciousness was fading, but he forced himself to use his Demon Sense to activate the power of the Cyan Jade Bowl, hoping to slow his descent.

However, a golden figure was even faster, appearing at his side.

A claw slammed down, cracking the earth and sending rocks flying!

RUMBLE!

A giant claw print appeared on the ground!

SPLAT!

The Peacock Demon slammed heavily into the ground, his body mangled beyond recognition.

A top-tier Great Demon, dead on the spot!

Xu Chang’an instantly snatched the Peacock Demon’s Storage Bag and gave it a quick inspection.

The Cyan Jade Bowl, which had been inverted over Cloud Sea Peak like a great bowl, lost its supply of Demon Power. Its Spiritual Light flickered as it continuously shrank, tumbling unsteadily downward.

WHOOSH!

Xu Chang’an’s figure blurred, transforming into a streak of light as he shot toward the Cyan Jade Bowl.

SQUELCH~

Along the way, some witless Foundation Establishment Great Demon blocked his path.

He swung his massive claw once, directly shattering the other’s Defensive Magical Artifact!

With the sharpness of his claws, shattering a Top-grade Magical Artifact was a simple matter!

With the second claw, the veteran Great Demon of the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment was killed on the spot.

"How could..."

As it died, the Horned Sheep Demon’s face was a mask of terror and utter disbelief.

The Demon Race mostly relied on Magical Artifacts for Magical Combat, or perhaps they would use Demon Talismans or their Demon Patterns.

A demon like Xu Chang’an, who used his own Demon Body to shatter Defensive Magical Artifacts and kill opponents head-on, was practically unheard of.

Ages have passed.

Magical Artifacts have long been in vogue, and for just as long, the physical bodies of the Demon Race have grown weak!

Who still remembered the tyrannical might of the Ancient Demon Race!?
