The instant the Golden Sword formed from the Pre-Technique descended, the demon reacted with a start.
Almost instinctively, it roused the demonic energy within its body and turned it into an impenetrable barrier, trying to stop the tangible yet immaterial Golden Sword.
Yet before the Golden Sword, the barrier formed from its demonic energy seemed not to exist at all. The sword pierced straight through and entered between its brows...
In that instant,
a thought flashed through the bull-headed, human-bodied demon's mind.
As the legends say, the Nine Secrets' Pre-Technique truly can't be stopped by ordinary powers or means. No spell or Magic Artifact defense is anything but useless before this technique!
As soon as the thought passed, a rumble rang through the depths of its consciousness.
It was as though a golden bolt of lightning had pierced its Sea of Consciousness and shot straight toward its "Demon Soul"—its consciousness!
The demon soul suddenly opened its eyes. Seeing the tangible yet immaterial sword, which looked like a bolt of golden lightning, it let out a savage roar!
Rolling waves of sound swept through its entire Sea of Consciousness, carrying overwhelming demonic might.
It had directly unleashed the power of its Demon Soul, hoping to shatter the Golden Sword.
But it had no effect.
The Golden Sword was not affected in the slightest. It continued to descend toward the Demon Soul...
The bull-headed, human-bodied demon's Demon Soul was aghast.
Without the slightest hesitation, it immediately fled its Sea of Consciousness, trying to evade the Golden Sword's strike.
Yet even though it reacted quickly, it was still a little too slow. The Golden Sword caught it and tore away part of its Demon Soul.
The demon's Demon Soul let out a piercing scream.
But it had no time to worry about anything
