Chapter 357 - 【Celestial Demon Yi】
Around the mountain, Sword Qi lashed out in all directions and only the mountain top remained momentarily unaffected.
The moment the duo’s palms struck together, two light light screens emerged in the center of the two palms, one vertical and one parallel to the ground.
The vertical light screen cut the whole mountain into two halves. It was round in shape like a Tai Chi Symbol and tens of miles long.
The billowing demon fire and sunfire burned vigorously together, a blazing huge sun appeared on the left and within it, the Pure Yang Qi formed into a three-taloned Golden Crow, which then morphed into a three-legged celestial being. On the right side of the Tai Chi Symbol was a round and bright moon, the Pure Yin Qi formed a six-eyed star toad which turned into a six-eyed three-legged celestial being.
The Yin and Yang revolved and the Tai Chi was in action, sucking Demon Saint’s hand into it.
The halved mountain beneath Demon Saint was quaking but it didn’t collapse. Instead, it was being sucked toward the Tai Chi Art and pulverized into dust.
Demon Saint’s five fingers were being pulled into the light screen. From the changes of Yin and Yang comes the birth of Tai Chi, and the changes of celestials and demons foretold the time of life and death. His palm was being crushed by the Yin Yang and the 【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】 was disrupting the arcane energy in his body, destroying his psyche and totem patterns.
His skin was pulverized just like the mountain, disintegrated and vaporized away, exposing the blood, meat, and bones to the air while the Tai Chi Art was still revolving in an attempt to suck him fully into the light screen!
【Celestial Demon Yi】!
A skill Zhong Yue had created with the 【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】 acting as the core while combining every other technique he had learned into it.
The 【Celestial Demon Yi】 was a hand seal, with the celestial and demon cultivation bases as the foundation, and the changes of the Celestial Demon Tai Chi as the killing blow. It was extraordinary in terms of strength and power, but it was more of a skill that forcibly disintegrated the enemy into nothingness!
Celestials and demons were rivals, enemies from birth, and they would never stand on the same ground and live in the same ways. When the two clashed together, they would release an abundance of power. Whoever was struck by his 【Celestial Demon Yi】 would be involuntarily sucked into it and be disintegrated!
The key was the ‘Yi’, it meant changes, and the core of the whole 【Celestial Demon Yi】 was the changes it had.
‘Yi (易)’ was a unique word created by taking the Fuxi True Form as a reference, a resemblance to the Fuxi True Form. The top part ‘日’ was the head and the ‘勿’ was the snake body, ‘Yi’ was a word holding abstruse meanings.
At this moment, the 【Celestial Demon Yi】 Zhong Yue had used was a skill created by him resembling his own Fuxi True Form!
However, this skill was still crude and primitive. After all, he had only created it just minutes ago, and time didn’t allow him to polish the skill. Moreover, he felt his lack of experience and knowledge. Although the 【Celestial Demon Yi】 was created, it was just a primitive beginning.
Whether it was his attainments on the celestial path or the demon path, or even his own Fuxi True Form, he only had superficial knowledge in them, and they would need to be further enhanced in order to raise the newly-created skill to its peak form.
The light screen that was parallel to the ground was a completely different scene. The light screen showed nine layers of altars where the nine demon gods were standing on the top and surrounding Zhong Yue in the middle.
Demon Saint’s left hand was now sucked into the Tai Chi Art. He gazed at Zhong Yue and suddenly, he bowed down. The nine demon gods followed as well, they were all worshipping Zhong Yue!
In the center of the altar, Zhong Yue could hear the sounds of prayer, and a cold chill was suddenly sent down his spine.
Various changes took place in his body; the blood started boiling, the arcane energy vaporizing, the mortal body melting away, his Yuan Shen shuddered violently and his soul was nearly pulled away from his body!
Demon Saint’s bow was the strongest skill in the 【Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art】, the 【Worship of The Nine Demons】.
The nine demons that worshipped the enemy were in fact smiting away the enemy as an oblation to themselves!
Sacrificing the enemies to him and turning their cultivation base into his own nutrients. This was the true power of Demon Saint’s 【Worship of The Nine Demons】!
In just the first bout, they had both only used two moves, all which were incredibly deadly, unlike anything else Zhong Yue had ever met before!
If he hadn’t watched the battle of Shura and Demon Saint, he wouldn’t have realized his lack of prowess and or attempted to enhance himself. If he had not, Demon Saint would have been able to kill him on the spot with just these two moves.
Demon Saint pulled his sword away from Zhong Yue’s Golden Feathery Peng Sword, and thrust it over at the center of the 【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】 where the dragon carving was located, breaking the balance of the Yin and Yang and causing them to be plunged into a state of chaos.
The 【Celestial Demon Yi】 crumbled in a trice, and the Demon Saint quickly pulled his hand back. In just a few moments, the flesh and blood on his hand had been eaten away, and only his bones were left. Even the finger bones were soft like jelly, and dense holes covered the surface of the bones.
Over half of his left arm had been pulled into the 【Celestial Demon Yi】, and it nearly reached his shoulder. If his shoulder was sucked in, followed by his neck and head, he would then be in immense danger.
Flesh squirmed from his shoulder down to his hand like worms as he attempted to recover his left arm.
Meanwhile, as Demon Saint pulled the leaf sword away, Zhong Yue clutched his feather sword, enlarged it to nearly thirty thousand feet long and pierced through the altar beneath him. Sword rays flitted out from the giant sword and killed the nine demon gods straightaway.
The altar collapsed and the 【Worship of The Nine Demons】 was stopped.
However, in just these few moments, nearly half of his prowess was smote away, and even his Yuan Shen had taken a huge blow.
Zhong Yue inhaled a deep breath of air and he used up the leftover saint herb to restore himself back to his peak form from his impaired prowess.
Krong, Krong, Krong——
The halved mountain collapsed and the two parts fell down and crashed into one another, rocks crumbled and rained down to the ground.
On the mountain top, Demon Saint intended to act the moment the two parts of the mountain crashed into one another. But then he saw Zhong Yue’s prowess was restored back to its peak and a flash of light flitted across his eyes. Light wheels emerged behind him and a blood charm filled with demon words and a demon god’s aura was taken out!
Behind Zhong Yue, he also took a charm out, but different from the Demon God Blood Charm, this was written with celestial words and celestial blood, and also suffused with a godly aura!
Demon Saint raised his brows in surprise and he put the Demon God Blood Charm back into his Yuan Shen secret realm. He reclaimed the emerald leaf and walked away while saying with a smile, “Mo Luo, Mo Luo, you are very good. However, if a blood charm is used just to kill an Inner Core Qi Practitioner like you, it will not be worth it. Without it, I will be able to kill you, but I’d have to bear with severe wounds.
“But now, I can’t afford to be wounded, as there are more old brats out there waiting for me to take them down.”
He moved back to the edge of the fire ocean and cast out the emerald leaf. The Demon Queen who was fighting with Tian Mo Concubine was alerted and she leapt out of the battlefield. The other demon concubines and court ladies followed behind her, and the crowd of ladies flew back to the emerald leaf.
Demon Saint turned his head and smiled, he said to Zhong Yue, “You are a time-worthy opponent, I’ll settle the other old men and come back to you later.”
Tian Mo Concubine, Saint Concubine, Ji Xiang Concubine and the other twenty-some court ladies went over to Zhong Yue and looked at the Demon Saint, Demon Queen, and the others.
Zhong Yue smiled and said, “Demon Saint, I know what you are planning, but what makes you think that everything will go as planned? You don’t want to be hurt, and I also have my own concerns. However, the time will come, very soon, when we will be able to go all out in battle!”
The Demon Saint stepped onto the emerald leaf stem and they disappeared into the fire ocean.
Tian Mo Concubine quickly asked, “How was the battle? Do you think you can defeat Demon…” Her beautiful countenance suddenly turned pallid and blood trickled out from her mouth. She was injured when battling with the Demon Queen, but she was an iron lady who didn’t want to look weak in front of her enemy and forcibly suppressed the wounds.
Even though her ranking among the eight demon concubines was lower than Saint Concubine, her prowess was in fact the strongest among the eight. She had given her best in the battle with the Demon Queen, but the Demon Queen’s prowess had greatly improved ever since she followed the Demon Saint and thus, Tian Mo Concubine was wounded.
Zhong Yue watched as the Demon Saint left, he shook his head and said, “I can’t defeat him, yet.”
Tian Mo Concubine attended to her wounds and looked at the godly charm before him. Lights flashed across her eyes and she said, “You still have this godly charm. If you go all out, do you think you can win?”
“This godly charm was only used to frighten him.” Zhong Yue laughed and he kept the godly charm, he said, “This godly charm is a just a charm meant to seal items away. If used to fight with experts like Demon Saint, it’s still not sufficient. At most, he will have to burn one Demon God Blood Charm to counter this godly charm and he can always take out a second Demon God Blood Charm. At that time, I will only die. However, he doesn’t know how many godly charms I have and thus, he decided to back down.”
The Demon God Blood Charms were able to bestow upon the Demon Saint the prowess of a demon god. They were incredibly precious and even Demon Saint didn’t have many of them. Hence, under the situation that he didn’t know how many godly charms Zhong Yue had, he wouldn’t go all out and waste all of his Demon God Blood Charms.
Tian Mo Concubine was dispirited and she mumbled lowly, “So Demon Saint is invincible…”
Zhong Yue strode forward, he said, “Invincible? No, he is not. Don’t you worry, I’ve promised you to take him down and so I will! Between the two of us, we will have a death battle, and I will kill him for sure!”
He was confident in the next battle.
The 【Celestial Demon Yi】 was able to fight against Demon Saint, and even though both suffered damage, it also meant that he had enough prowess to fight with a former demon god. This was the source of his confidence!
Demon Saint, a revived demon god, had a substantial amount of knowledge and experience that allowed him to be so strong and unstoppable. His past life as a demon god was his source of confidence and also the ceiling of his potential. In this life, he sought to break through his limit and be stronger than his past life. However, his past experiences and knowledge would be an invisible obstacle to him, as if he couldn’t jump out from his inertial thoughts from the past, he would never be able to take a further step.
Zhong Yue, on the other hand, was still young and relatively inexperienced. Compared to the gods, he was just like a newborn, a blank paper that was going to be drawn into a work of art. There were unlimited possibilities in his future. Whether he would be drawn into a random drawing, a common painting, a marvelous picture, or even an unworldly masterpiece was all unknown.
My 【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】 is still new and primitive, there is only one skill in it, which is the 【Celestial Demon Yi】. With more skills being created from it and completing the 【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】 to its peak form, this is the capital I have to face off against the former ancient demon god, Demon Saint!
