Chapter 403 Nothing Can Be Done
Archean Mountain.
Li Guan, an illusory Qin Wu, and an illusory Luo Tang nervously watched the scene that appeared in the void ripples. Demon Sage Nine Abyss, who had a monstrous aura, clutched his head and wailed. The constant attacks made them heave sighs of relief. However, Nine Abyss recovered completely without any injuries (Essence Soul injuries were not physically visible).
The Dark-Red Prison shrank as Nine Abyss cast a forbidden spell and punched out with all his might. The power behind this punch was too terrifying “How sinister.”
“If it were to attack Meng Chuan directly, Meng Chuan would dodge! But since it is attacking Liu Qiyue, Meng Chuan will take the initiative to block it.” Li Guan and company could discern the situation at a glance.
They knew what Demon Sage Nine Abyss was trying to do, but they could do nothing to stop
him.
“Don’t block it.” Bai Yaoyue clenched her fists as she nervously stared at the Heaven-Peeking Mirror.
“This punch carries the strength of the entire Dark-Red Prison. It shouldn’t be blocked.” Meng Tiange was anxious as well. “With Demon Sage Nine Abyss casting a forbidden spell, this punch’s might should be close to the strength of a threshold Imperial Lord.”
“You must not block it. Doing so will only mean death.” Xu Yingwu and company watched nervously.
At the Creation realm, one could vaguely deduce the strength of the punch.
After infusing all of the Dark-Red Prison’s strength into the punch, Demon Sage Nine Abyss was close to a threshold Imperial Lord when he went all out. Could a Regis Godfiend withstand such a punch?
Nine Abyss’s sinister fist flew towards Liu Qiyue. This punch was too fast, causing the void to shatter. Meng Chuan had no way of putting Liu Qiyue into his Grotto-Heaven Treasure Bead.
“Qiyue.” Meng Chuan was alarmed. When the three lightning barrier layers collapsed one after another, the 18 Bloodblades’s defensive formation-which was protecting himinstantly expanded in range to include Liu Qiyue.
“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue had cast Phoenix’s Nirvana. She triggered her pure Phoenix bloodline’s power, causing her Essence Soul and body to transform. Insights into fire even surged into her mind constantly. However, this state of epiphany was at the cost of her lifespan. Although Liu Qiyue felt that she was pretty strong, she was still unable to match Nine Abyss’s punch. Meng Chuan put himself between the attack and Liu Qiyue.
Clang!
After the huge dark-red fist shattered Clear Sky’s three lightning barrier layers, it immediately smashed into the 18 Bloodblades’ defensive formation.
Clear Sky’s obstruction wasn’t worth mentioning; the 18 Bloodblades’ defensive formation was much stronger. This was a Tribulation treasure that was meant for protection. Its defensive capabilities were much stronger. With Meng Chuan’s current cultivation and technique realm, he could withstand a top Creation realm expert’s attack without the defensive formation breaking down. However, Nine Abyss’s punch was too powerful. It was close to the threshold of an Imperial Lord.
The moment the fist struck the 18 Bloodblades, the pitch-black Magic Awl pierced Nine Abyss’s sea of consciousness.
The Magic Awl—which already had cracks on it — forcefully penetrated Nine Abyss’s Essence Soul at this critical moment!
“Ah!” Nine Abyss felt unbearable pain. Due to his extraordinary willpower, he barely managed to stay lucid as he struck out with his fist. The 18 Bloodblades scattered due to the blow, but they drastically reduced the fist’s might.
The giant dark-red fist—which had been greatly weakened-still smashed towards Liu Qiyue.
Meng Chuan held Demon Slayer with both hands and took the initiative to meet it.
Boom!
Divine power—Heaven Earth Control!
Divine power-Flowing Sand!
Meng Chuan unleashed his two divine powers simultaneously. Even though the fist’s strength had been greatly reduced, Meng Chuan gave his all when facing the chaotic punch.
“You can’t block it.” Bai Yaoyue, Li Guan, Xu Yingwu, and the others were gripped with anxiety. “Ah Chuan!” Liu Qiyue was even more anxious. She hated herself for not being strong enough. She dug deep into her bloodline for more strength.
To Meng Chuan, everything beyond him slowed down.
Meng Chuan had ten times as much time as he had in the outside world. When he used the same Cloud Dragon Snake Saber Art, it seemed much more exquisite to observers. Under his Heaven Earth Control, he could unleash even greater strength and speed. His Indestructible Divine Armor also became stronger.
The saber art he used could divert strength away.
He tried his best to reduce the force behind the punch! He diverted most of the strength to the side.
Boom!
The moment the saber and fist collided, Meng Chuan’s body trembled as blood burst from his body like a fog. Many bones and organs began to crack, but Meng Chuan still held Demon Slayer firmly in his hands. His bones, muscles, and organs instantly recovered.
Oh? After Nine Abyss’s fist headed towards Liu Qiyue, Meng Chuan finally stood in front of her. This delighted Nine Abyss.
Even though I suffered Essence Soul attacks and had to blast through layers of obstructions, the punch still has 30% of its power left. It’s enough to kill him.
However, half of the force behind the punch was diverted away. After Meng Chuan’s Indestructible Divine Armor blocked the punch, only a spray of blood burst out of Meng Chuan’s body before he completely recovered from his injuries.
He blocked it? Nine Abyss found it unbelievable. His Essence Soul was in excruciating pain. He found it difficult to control the Dark-Red Prison.
I blocked it. Meng Chuan was very glad because the punch was just too powerful for him to block it directly.
Even though it only had 30% of its strength remaining-even if he had executed the Cloud Dragon Snake Saber Art most exquisitely—the fist was definitely not something he could block directly. If the attack were to hit his body, it was highly likely that he would be killed!
Without the Magic Awl, Demon Sage Nine Abyss would’ve been able to unleash his strength perfectly. In that case, he would’ve been swept away-not able to resist at allwhen he put himself in the attack’s trajectory.
If he wanted to save Liu Qiyue and himself, he would have made her hide in his Grotto-Heaven Treasure early on before relying on the protective stone talisman to escape. However, if he did such a thing, Nine Abyss’s ambush would’ve failed. He would then vent his anger on Jiang State Capital. Twenty million people would die if they fled cowardly.
My strength increased by leaps and bounds after I obtained a Tribulation treasure. Demon Sage Nine Abyss is indeed terrifying after it obtained a powerful treasure. Meng Chuan was secretly alarmed. Fortunately, I cultivated the Magic Awl Forbidden Spell, causing its strength to decrease greatly.
Whoosh.
The pitch-black Magic Awl was now covered in cracks; it looked as if it could shatter at any moment. Luckily, it didn’t.
Meng Chuan immediately put the Magic Awl into his sea of consciousness and carefully nourished it.
If he was willing...
He could force his Magic Awl—which was about to shatter at any moment—to carry out a life-and-death strike. Of course, that would result in him losing 10% of his Essence Soul’s Origins. Even with the Essence Soul Star mystic technique, it would take time to recover slowly. Without doing this, Meng Chuan’s Magic Awl
—which was covered in cracks—could recover in half a month as long as it stayed in his sea of consciousness.
It failed? With his injuries, Nine Abyss could barely control the Dark-Red Prison. It was difficult for him to replicate such a powerful attack again. No, no. I have to succeed. I’ll deliver another fatal strike. Nine Abyss endured his injuries and attacked again.
Boom!
Behind Meng Chuan, Liu Qiyue’s aura suddenly intensified. The terrifying aura made Meng Chuan turn his head.
As a Regis Godfiend, Liu Qiyue became closer to a real phoenix when she cast Phoenix’s Nirvana to draw upon her bloodline’s power! Due to this, she naturally consumed her lifespan even faster than before. From the moment the battle began, Liu Qiyue had already maintained Phoenix’s Nirvana for 21 seconds. This was a very long time for Liu Qiyue.
Her insights into fire had reached a whole new realm.
Boom!
Liu Qiyue looked at Demon Sage Nine Abyss. She pulled her bow taut as a flaming arrow pierced through the air. The arrow’s might was much more terrifying than before.Not good. Nine Abyss sensed the threat of death the moment Liu Qiyue shot the arrow.
Rumble...
Invisible astral ripples spread out. This was Meng Chuan’s main method of attack with his Essence Soul Star-Astral Wave. The Astral Wave fluctuation struck Nine Abyss’s Essence Soul. This aggravated his heavily-injured Essence Soul, so he was in even more pain than before. He was unable to block the arrow.
Pfft.
The arrow struck his chest, piercing through his dark-red robe and Blood Fiend Armor. It penetrated right through his body. Golden flames constantly burned at his wounds.
Not good. Nine Abyss panicked. If I don’t leave now, I might not have a chance of surviving. If he were in perfect condition, even if Liu Qiyue made another breakthrough, Nine Abyss was confident of killing them easily. However, his Essence Soul was severely injured. Astral Waves also constantly struck him! He could only unleash 30 to 40 percent of his strength. He began to panic when facing Liu Qiyue’s arrows.
Nothing can be done. Time to go!
The Dark-Red Prison dissipated, and Nine Abyss quickly fled into the distance.
