Forcefully Slaying the Demon General, Nine-Infant's Avatar

In an instant, vast stretches of the void collapsed, turning into nothingness.

Behind Xuan Liu, the divine willow manifestation flowing with Undying World-Purifying Immortal Light rose thunderously from the ground.

Tens of millions of emerald-green willow branches of order were like sharp blades piercing forth from the river of time.

In an instant, they swiftly plunged into the towering Primordial Unity Golden Immortal demon general.

Bang bang bang!!!

A series of incomparably dull explosions resounded through the heavens.

That arrogant and unrivaled Primordial Unity Golden Immortal demon general could not even endure for a single breath.

The white bone blade in his hand shattered inch by inch, while his massive body was nailed alive upon the ruins by countless willow branches.

His blood essence sprayed wildly, his demon light instantly dimming and weakening as he was grievously wounded on the spot.

"Holy Mother above! It's an immortal! A supreme immortal has come to save us!"

"Many thanks, Great Immortal! Heaven will not destroy our human race! Heaven will not destroy our human race!"

"Wonderful! With such an immortal helping us, the human race is saved!"

"Thank you, Immortal! Thank you for saving our human race!"

"Good, good, good! At long last, a Great Immortal is willing to save the human race!"

The surviving human mortals, seeing this scene, all fell to their knees amid the mud and ruins.

Their eyes brimmed with tears of survival after catastrophe, while their ecstatic cheers surged endlessly like waves.

Faced with such a great demon, they had already fallen into despair.

Who could have expected that an immensely powerful immortal would appear at such a moment?

And with such ease, he had grievously wounded the great demon that had nearly destroyed their tribe.

"Cough... cough cough! Damn it! Just who are you, Daoist?!"

The Primordial Unity Golden Immortal demon general sprawled limply amid the scorched earth, coughing up foul blood in great mouthfuls, his expression frozen stiff.

His narrow demon eyes were filled with utter bewilderment and a fierce front masking a weak heart.

"This general is a capable demon general under Demon Saint Nine-Infant, one of the ten great Demon Saints of the Heavenly Court!"

The Primordial Unity Golden Immortal demon general roared hysterically, "Do not meddle in others' affairs today! If you know what is good for you, get lost at once!"

"Otherwise, once my Demon Saint holds you accountable, even with cultivation at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, you will surely end with both body and soul destroyed!!!"

Damn it!

What rotten luck!

He had been on the verge of devouring these humans in one stroke and breaking through to the middle stage of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm.

Yet—

At this very moment, a Rogue Cultivator at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm had appeared out of nowhere.

That strike had directly knocked away the cultivation he had accumulated over countless ages.

Even his early-stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal cultivation had become faintly unstable.

If he returned to the Demon Race Heavenly Court, his fellow officials would laugh themselves to death at him.

He might not even be able to keep his position as a demon general.

"Hmph! So what if you serve under Demon Saint Nine-Infant?"

Not a trace of panic appeared on Xuan Liu's face as he said coldly, "In my eyes, you have slaughtered innocent living beings today, your body entangled in karmic sin."

"If I say you deserve death, then there is absolutely no way for you to live!!!"

With that, he raised his right hand.

The Thunder Emperor Secret Art faintly began to circulate, ready to deliver the final blow to this vile beast.

"Insolence!!!"

Suddenly, an extraordinarily violent roar, as though it could forcibly shatter the nine layers of heaven, thundered from the distant horizon and swiftly spread outward.

Rip!

The barrier of time and space was violently torn open into a black fissure, and rolling demon qi swept in all directions.

In no more than the blink of an eye, an avatar with an aura as mighty as an early-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stepped out.

This avatar had nine bizarre heads. It resembled an ancient colossal serpent, yet possessed four legs.

Whenever its blood-filled maws opened and closed, scenes of earth, water, fire, and wind being controlled, toxic mist spewing forth, and Lunar True Fire erupting alternated madly.

The arrival was none other than one of the ten great Demon Saints of the Demon Court!

An Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal avatar of Demon Saint Nine-Infant!

"Young brat, you think you dare kill someone from my Demon Race Heavenly Court?!"

The instant Nine-Infant's avatar descended, its nine enormous serpent heads fixed their gaze on Xuan Liu, the undisguised pressure of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal blanketing the heavens and the earth.

Yet—

Before this early-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Nine-Infant avatar could make any substantive attacking move—

A glint of icy severity suddenly flashed in Xuan Liu's eyes.

Without any retreat or hesitation, he directly attacked the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal demon general.

"Thunder Emperor Secret Art, descend for me!!"

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

As a massive roar erupted, ten thousand bolts of destructive lightning as thick as ancient mountain ranges—

seemed to transform into an enraged dragon spanning time and space, blasting down upon the head of that immobilized and weakened Primordial Unity Golden Immortal demon general.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!!

He did not even manage to cry out. Under the brutal cleansing of the Thunder Emperor Secret Art—

the body and Primordial Spirit of that Primordial Unity demon general were reduced to pitch-black ash scattered across the ground before Nine-Infant's avatar, utterly erased in body and soul.

Before the eyes of a Demon Saint avatar, he had instantly slain one of its subordinate deputy generals.

"Arrogant wretch! This Demon Saint will surely rip out your soul and refine your spirit, then tear your corpse into ten thousand thousand pieces!!"

Watching his subordinate demon general vanish into ash, Nine-Infant's Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal avatar flew utterly into a rage.

Those pairs of enormous serpent pupils brimming with savagery—

were instantly filled with boundless bloodlust.

He had roamed the heavens and earth of the Primordial World for countless ages.

When had a mere junior at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm ever dared treat him with such disregard?!

This was not merely a provocation against his dignity as a Demon Saint—

it was trampling the face of the entire Demon Court into rotten mud!

Roar!!!

Nine-Infant's avatar roared repeatedly as all nine serpent maws opened together.

Toxic mist, karmic fire, and Lunar Water formed a terrifying torrent.

Carrying the dreadful mana of an early-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, it crashed down like mountains toppling and seas overturning, forcibly suppressing the void where Xuan Liu stood.

"So this is a Zenith Heaven avatar of a Demon Saint? It truly cannot be underestimated!"

Xuan Liu's expression tightened as he muttered to himself.

Though this avatar was not as powerful as his Eldest Senior Brother, Duobao Daoist—

it was considerably stronger even than his Second Senior Sister, Golden Spirit Holy Mother.

Even an avatar of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal possessed such strength.

It was hard to imagine what heaven-defying methods the true body of a Demon Saint possessed.

Fortunately, only a Demon Saint avatar had come this time.

Even if he could not defeat it, escaping in the end should not be a problem.

Moreover, with his current foundation, he could already barely exchange blows with an ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

This Demon Saint avatar was perfect for tempering himself properly.

"Hmph! Nine-Infant, if your true body had come this time, it would indeed have been somewhat troublesome. But unfortunately, this is only an avatar."

Xuan Liu snorted and said decisively, "Who wins and who loses is still far from certain."

"If you wish to avenge your subordinate, then we shall see whether you possess that kind of strength!"

"Thunder Emperor Secret Art!"
