Drought Demon and Heavenly Origin

"Seven Stars Sacred Land, Tianyuan Lineage!" Upon seeing this young man, the red-eyed youth's gaze shifted slightly, a hint of apprehension creeping into his eyes.

"The Heavenly Corpse Sect, the Drought Demon Lineage, instead of staying put in your Demon Sea, do you intend to return to the Corpse-Driving Sect?" The young man's eyelids drooped, his voice was calm, but the content of his words was quite tricky.

"The Corpse-Driving Sect? Hmph, a bunch of cowardly rats. We wield supreme power, so naturally we should take from the weak at will. The so-called rules of corpse-driving are nothing but shackles that bind our own hands and feet." The red-eyed youth sneered, unconcerned.

"Without order, where would the myriad spirits of heaven and earth come from, where would the sun and moon traverse the sky, and where would all things Flourishing? You Demon Dao do not engage in production, yet you take from heaven and earth at will, showing no mercy in life and death. Do you not know that this is harming your own Fortune and that you will be punished by heaven sooner or later!" The young man frowned slightly and rebuked.

"Hahaha, the way of Heaven is to take from those who have more than enough and give to those who have less than enough; the way of man is to take from those who have less than enough and give to those who have more than enough. This is the ultimate principle of Heaven and Earth. My Demon Dao path is the one that follows the way of Heaven and is in accordance with the Heavenly Dao." The red-eyed youth laughed wildly.

"Your fallacies and Great Dao, your distortion of the true principles, are truly deserving of death!"

As the word "kill" fell, the previously listless boy suddenly changed his demeanor.

Just as a fish transforms into a roc or Dragon Gate, it only takes a moment for a person to undergo a complete and dramatic change.

He moved with great speed, his body rapidly growing larger. Originally only six feet tall, he grew to fifteen feet in the blink of an eye.

Call!

After his body grew larger, the boy's every move was accompanied by wind and thunder, and his skin was covered with dense Spirit Mark that flowed and floated, giving him an indestructible appearance.

"Heaven and Earth Manifestation, little Daoist priest, aren't you a Daoist priest of the Tianyuan Lineage?"

"Hmph, Xuan Ning, Dao Protector the Tianyuan Lineage!"

The sound was deafening, and with it came a massive bronze fist, as big as a house.

Call!!

Faced with this punch, the red-eyed youth was not to be outdone. With a low roar, invisible flames ignited around his body, and the temperature in the world suddenly rose.

Legend has it that wherever the Drought Demon passes, the land turns to scorched earth, and all people and animals perish. This red-eyed youth is following the path of "self-refining into a corpse," with the ultimate goal of transforming himself into the Drought Demon Body.

Although he is still far from his goal, he has already shown some signs of Drought Demon.

Its body was as strong as a diamond, covered in red light, and within three zhang of its body, there was a terrifyingly high temperature that could melt gold and refine iron.

Xuan Ning frowned slightly. Even though he knew the details of the Drought Demon Lineage, he still did not dodge or avoid it. He threw a punch down fiercely, like Falling Star falling to the ground, with an extraordinary momentum.

Thump!

A deafening collision Dang Kai, and a crimson figure was sent flying with a whoosh. Where it passed, it left a long black trail, the result of the sky being scorched.

After punching the red-eyed youth away, Xuan Ning didn't show any excitement. Instead, he frowned slightly and looked at his palm.

A deep burn mark was visible on the edge of his palm, a rare sight for Xuan Ning, whose physical strength was comparable to that of Third Tier Spirit Gold.

However, he only frowned; Xuan Ning didn't care about this injury at all. The Cultivation Method he practiced had a strong auxiliary effect on healing injuries.

Laugh!

White smoke drifted out of the wound, and in the blink of an eye, the injury disappeared as if it had never existed.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Xuan Ning strode across the sky, the air rumbling under his feet, wind and thunder howling and exploding around him, as if possessed by a legendary giant god, appearing exceptionally domineering.

"Puff!"

The red-eyed youth in the distance shook his head, spat out a mouthful of scalding blood, and looked horrified.

He never expected that this seemingly ordinary boy would be so powerful.

With just one punch, he shattered the protective fire elemental energy within him, and the immense force transmitted made the red-eyed youth feel as if a mountain was pressing down on him, incredibly heavy.

"I can't fight them!" With this thought flashing through his mind, the red-eyed youth turned and left without hesitation.

"You fiend, where do you think you're going!"

Seeing the red-eyed youth trying to escape, Xuan Ning glared angrily, then his chest heaved as he took a deep breath.

A giant cultivating his physique took a deep breath, creating a terrifying scene: sand and stones flew, strong winds howled, and even the mountains beneath his feet seemed to shake.

Soon, having inhaled to the fullest, Xuan Ning lowered his waist and sat down, uttering a Daoist mantra that shook the heavens and earth!

"Hey!!"

The divine sound boomed, like hundreds of Thunder exploding in his ears at the same time, and it was incredibly fast, seemingly reaching the red-eyed youth's ears the moment it appeared.

Buzz!!

Under the terrifying sonic shockwave, the red-eyed youth froze, the Drought Demon fire swirling around his body was extinguished, his Blood Qi surged, and he finally spat out a mouthful of blood.

Taking advantage of his moment of shock, Xuan Ning caught up and, without saying a word, threw a punch.

Thump!!

The figure flew out again, and the red-eyed youth was completely powerless against Xuan Ning.

"Damn it, this is outrageous!"

As one of the four main branches of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, the red-eyed youth had never suffered such humiliation before, and he was filled with rage and hatred.

But before he could do anything, the fist, emitting a faint silver light, struck again.

Bang!!

This time, the fist struck from top to bottom. When it moved away, a huge crater, hundreds of feet in diameter, was visible on the ground.

The soil and rocks at the bottom of the pit were instantly scorched into crystals of various colors by the high temperature of the Drought Demon Body.

The unequal battle lasted for half an hour. The red-eyed youth's Drought Demon Body was indeed sturdy, even comparable to other Body Cultivators of the same level. However, faced with the unreasonablely strong Xuan Ning, he could do nothing but rage in vain.

The terrifyingly high temperature, enough to melt gold and refine iron, could only leave a faint char on Xuan Ning's body. However, before he could even feel happy, the mark disappeared without a trace in an instant.

It could be said that the red-eyed youth's damage wasn't even as fast as Xuan Ning's recovery.

This is not surprising, as the Tianyuan Lineage the Seven Stars Sacred Land is small and insignificant, yet the resources it controls are comparable to those of an ordinary state-level sect.

With such terrifying resources to cultivate a mere handful of successors, how could they not be powerful?

Moreover, the Dao Protectors chosen by the Tianyuan Lineage are all exceptional in terms of talent and temperament. With such a powerful combination, Xuan Ning's true terror is far from being revealed.

Bang!!

A tattered figure fell from mid-air, its life force dissipating, clearly dead. This person was none other than the red-eyed youth.

Xuan Ning withdrew his Heaven and Earth Manifestation Divine Ability, shrunk his size, and came to the side of the corpse.

After a brief examination, he frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.

Brush!

A silver-white eye opened between Xuan Ning's brows, shooting out a tangible gaze.

His gaze fell upon her, Xuan Ning's face turned cold. "Impressive technique. She managed to escape with her soul without anyone noticing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Ning scanned his surroundings. Under his divine eye, the surrounding area of nearly a hundred miles could not escape his Detection, but he still found nothing.

"That's enough. Having lost its Drought Demon Body, this demon has no chance of recovering within a hundred years, and it will be difficult for it to cause evil again."

With a soft sigh, Xuan Ning put away the Drought Demon Body on the ground, his figure gradually fading until he disappeared without a trace.
