Hunting the Demon God

Everyone present could kill the Demon God.

As long as he was given enough time, the Demon God could return to his peak. By then, no one on Azure World would be able to threaten him. If he used his full strength, he could even destroy Azure World.

What he needed most right now was time.

The Venerable Tier Grand Formation's power was still acting upon the Demon God. He could not move, nor could he use the Spiritual Power within his body. It was as though he carried a great mountain on his back, and he was extremely weak at this moment.

Yet he had to put on an act, pretending that he was completely unaffected and incredibly formidable. Otherwise, if Zhou Qiongtian attacked, a single slap could kill the Demon God.

The Demon God desperately absorbed the Spiritual Power of heaven and earth, his cultivation continuously rising with barely any bottlenecks. He swiftly broke through from the peak of the Divine Passage Realm to the Cycle Early Stage.

Zhou Qiongtian frowned. This could not go on. Once reinforcements from the Great Sun Divine Sect and Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect arrived, if even a single supreme expert came, Zhou Qiongtian's situation would only worsen.

Even though this Demon God seemed terrifyingly powerful and unfathomable, Zhou Qiongtian had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight. He could only hope that the methods his father had left on him would prove useful.

Zhou Qiongtian charged out in an instant, executing Lightning Step. With lightning beneath his feet, he arrived before the Demon God in the blink of an eye and threw a punch.

The Demon God was immediately terrified. Although his physical body had been strengthened and, with the power of the Demon God Core, was comparable to the peak of the Feather Ascension Realm, he was still no match for Zhou Qiongtian.

More importantly, once Zhou Qiongtian's punch landed, he would see through his bluff. If Zhou Qiongtian realized he was merely strong on the outside but weak within, he would be in grave danger.

What should he do? How could he stall for time? In an instant, countless thoughts collided in the Demon God's mind as he desperately tried to come up with a good plan.

But the Demon God did not have that much time. He could already feel the force of the punch. Zhou Qiongtian's fist was about to strike.

"Wait!" the Demon God suddenly said. "Brat, do you want to know the realm above the Great Emperor?"

Zhou Qiongtian froze. "You know?"

The Demon God burst into laughter. "Of course I know. Above the Great Emperor lies the True God. I am a True God. You should feel honored, brat, to behold the countenance of a True God."

Zhou Qiongtian nodded and drew a treasured sword. Lightning spread across its blade.

The Demon God's body shuddered. That was it? Why didn't he ask something?!

Seeing Zhou Qiongtian's sword about to come down, the Demon God panicked. "Wait."

Zhou Qiongtian stopped, a puzzled look on his face. What now?

The Demon God's heart was in turmoil as he continued on his own, "A True God can condense a small world within his body. He is the ruler of that world, undying and imperishable. Whether the living beings within the small world cultivate or fight, the Dao traces they emit can become nourishment for the True God's cultivation..."

As the Demon God continued speaking, Zhou Qiongtian came to understand the might of a True God. Longing appeared in Zhou Qiongtian's eyes. The strongest beings the continent could accommodate were no more than Great Emperors.

To become a True God, one had to condense the embryonic form of a world. That required vast amounts of energy, and the energy of a single continent could hardly satisfy the needs of condensing a world embryo.

Wait, was that why Father had waged war upon other continents? Did that mean Father was already at the peak of the Great Emperor Realm?

The Demon God went on. Beyond the continent lay an endless starry sky, and only Great Emperor experts could cross it. Within that starry sky were countless experts, continents, planets, worlds, and more.

The experiences the Demon God described left Zhou Qiongtian utterly enthralled. They were things he had never heard before.

The Demon God was extremely nervous, yet inwardly delighted. That's it, that's it. Good. Keep dragging this out until my strength recovers, then I'll kill these little brats.

Without realizing it, the Demon God's cultivation had already reached the Cycle Mid Stage, very, very close to the Cycle Late Stage.

Though Zhou Qiongtian appeared to be listening, he was already communicating with the system in his heart.

"System, how do I kill this bastard? Recommend something."

Host, this Demon God really is only at the Cycle Mid Stage right now. If you do not deal with him soon, he'll hang you up and whip you later!

"Die!" Zhou Qiongtian charged at the Demon God once more.

"Wait, brat! Do you want to obtain my inheritance? This is the inheritance of a True God!" Sensing the dense killing intent radiating from Zhou Qiongtian, the Demon God's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted.

"I want your grandfather!" Zhou Qiongtian's treasured sword suddenly slashed down. Endless lightning raged throughout the grand formation. Enhanced by the formation, the might of this strike had already surpassed the peak of the Feather Ascension Realm!

The Demon God's expression changed wildly as he drew upon the power of the Demon God Core. His aura instantly surged to the Feather Ascension Mid Stage. His entire body turned crimson, heat continuously pouring from him as the temperature within the grand formation soared in an instant.

"Ha!" the Demon God roared. Endless demonic qi condensed before him into a black wall. Not only that, a suit of demonic qi armor also formed over his body, emanating violent Killing Intent.

That black wall of demonic qi was enough to withstand the strike of an ordinary peak Feather Ascension Realm cultivator, yet beneath Zhou Qiongtian's sword, it did not last even a second before being cleaved apart.

The treasured sword struck the Demon God's armor. A tremendous force slammed into him, and he used it to send himself flying backward, dissipating some of the force. Even so, the Demon God suffered a heavy blow.

"Damn it! This brat is only at the Feather Ascension Early Stage. How is his combat strength this terrifying? It has already reached the level of a Half-Saint!"

The Demon God's eyes nearly split apart. He executed his movement technique and fled frantically, trying to stall for time. But this grand formation was controlled by Zhou Qiongtian, and he simply could not escape it.

The grand formation covered the entire Azure Flame Valley, but Azure Flame Valley itself was not large. At their speed, the two soon made a full circuit around it.

"Aren't you a True God? Why are you running? Take my sword!" Zhou Qiongtian roared, lightning beneath his feet as he pursued the Demon God with sparks and lightning all the way.

The Demon God was in a miserable state, covered in wounds. Although his physical body was extremely powerful and possessed formidable regenerative abilities, he could not recover as quickly as he was injured. The wounds on his body grew increasingly severe.

"Damn it, damn it! If I were given just a few more hours, I could crush this ant to death with one hand!" Killing intent blazed in the Demon God's heart as his fury reached its limit.

He was the lofty Demon God, a supreme powerhouse of the True God Realm, yet he was being hunted by an ant of the Feather Ascension Realm. Such misery, such humiliation!

Outside the grand formation, those Saints and Saint Kings were all dumbfounded. What was going on? That figure who had seemed terrifying beyond measure was actually being chased down and beaten by Zhou Qiongtian. Zhou Qiongtian's strength was truly this terrifying!
