Life-and-Death Crisis, Slaying a Primordial Spirit
This Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor was too confident, actually intending to kill True Lord Haoran with his physical strength.
This gave Chen Nianzhi a rare opportunity. He used all his strength to unleash the final strike of the Azure Abyss Sword, aiming it at the throat of the Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor.
The Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor instantly felt a chill in his throat. In a haste, he forcibly twisted his posture to dodge the fatal blow, but he was also slashed with a huge wound by the sword.
"Aww--"
The dragon roared in agony, its voice filled with a murderous intent like a volcanic eruption.
He soared into the Nine Heavens, his pupils filled with overwhelming killing intent as he looked at Chen Nianzhi, whose attack had almost severely injured him.
While a child wielding a knife is not a serious threat and unlikely to strike a strong adult, a knife is still a knife. If struck in the throat, it can inflict a fatal blow.
At this moment, the Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor, enduring the pain of the heavenly fire burning his wounds, looked at Chen Nianzhi with boundless killing intent. "Human Race, you deserve to die!"
"Roar--"
The humiliation of being injured by someone of a higher level, and the shock and anger following the deadly threat, all combined to create boundless killing intent and raging fury.
The Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor roared across the heavens and earth, and actually spat out a Dragon Pearl that shot towards Chen Nianzhi.
The inner core of the Primordial Spirit dragon has transformed into the legendary Dragon Pearl, containing a power as deep as an abyss that completely locks onto Chen Nianzhi, intending to annihilate him on the earth.
From the moment that sword failed to sever the Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor's physical body, Chen Nianzhi's heart sank into an abyss.
"Brother Guixu..."
Faced with this attack, True Lord Haoran, Sea-Calming Daoist, and even the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm of the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World all stepped forward to help.
However, the opponent's power was too astonishing. With a single swing of his great halberd, he struck down all enemies, and his Divine Ability blocked everything.
"Quickly, save him!"
Chen Changxuan roared, spitting out mouthful after mouthful of his Natal Essence Blood, activating the Myriad Immortals Subduing Demons Formation at a terrible cost, to block the Dragon Pearl.
However, the power of the Dragon Pearl was incomparable, easily shattering the Myriad Immortals Subduing Demons Formation, severely injuring those who were in charge of the formation, and instantly causing the deaths of millions of cultivators due to the backlash.
Jiang Linglong, Yan Ziji, and Ya Ya were very close by, and they tried their best to block the attack, but their Life-bound Spirit Treasure were sent flying before they could even touch the Dragon Pearl, and each of them was covered with cracks.
In a life-or-death crisis, the Sunset Divine Aura Talisman on Chen Nianzhi's body was activated.
In an instant, a fiery red protective barrier that blotted out the sky flew out and blocked the Dragon Pearl.
The Treasure Talisman obtained from the Long River Holy Land finally came into play, creating a stalemate with the Dragon Pearl of the Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor.
"Finally."
Chen Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the sense of impending doom ease slightly.
But at that very moment, the Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor roared, "Those I choose to kill, no one can protect!"
"Die!"
"Boom--"
A deafening roar resounded, followed by bursts of brilliant light that tore a crack in the Setting Sun's divine aura.
The Dragon Pearl tore through the Tier 6 protective Treasure Talisman and continued to bombard Chen Nianzhi.
"Nianzhi, retreat quickly!"
At that critical moment, a golden Treasure Ship sailed by.
With a resolute expression, Chen Qinghao led the hundreds of thousands of troops on the Treasure Ship, urging the Golden Rhinoceros Treasure Ship to block Chen Nianzhi's path.
He was far too weak, merely a Nascent Soul cultivator at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul Human Dao True Lord realm. He didn't even have the qualifications to help Chen Nianzhi. His only means of defense was to use the powerful defensive capabilities of the Golden Rhinoceros Treasure Ship to block the attack for him.
"Boom--"
Chen Nianzhi watched helplessly as the Golden Rhinoceros Treasure Ship exploded, the intensely hot flames and explosive force sending him flying.
In that final moment, all he saw were piles of bones turning to ashes in the flames.
"Ah--"
Chen Nianzhi roared, her resentment, anger, and helplessness coalescing into a silent finality.
He simply stared intently at the Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor, etching him deeply into his memory.
"He still wants revenge."
The Nine Netherworlds Dragon coiled between heaven and earth, and Chen Nianzhi's expression inexplicably chilled him. He couldn't help but sneer and say, "Today I will kill you, and no one can save you!"
The Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor's killing intent filled the sky, and he once again activated the Dragon Pearl to strike.
This time, everyone's hearts sank completely. Now that the army was almost decimated, who could save him?
"Well!"
In that life-or-death moment, a sigh echoed from the heavens.
A magnificent bracelet, obscuring the sky, descended and instantly locked the Nine Netherworlds Demon Dragon's Dragon Pearl, preventing it from breaking free no matter how hard it struggled.
Only then did everyone notice that a majestic figure in black robes had appeared on the battlefield from the sky.
"The Old Devil of Longgu!"
The Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor's expression changed as he recognized the man's origins.
Daoist Longgu is ranked alongside Jiayu Heavenly Demon and Blood God Ancestor as one of the three Demonic Path Primordial Spirit in the Eastern Sea Cultivation World.
This demon was once a powerful Human Race Dao Lord who shook the world. He was already Mid-stage Primordial Spirit cultivator back then, but for some unknown reason, he turned into a demon overnight and became a rare Demonic Path ancestor.
At this moment, the Old Devil Longgu suddenly made a move, greatly catching the Outer Realm Demons off guard.
The Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor's eyes were filled with apprehension, and he couldn't help but say, "You are a member of my Devil Cultivator, why are you helping Human Race child?"
"Devil Cultivator, possessed by demons..."
Daoist Longgu shook his head and smiled faintly, simply saying, "Do you know that I entered the demonic path only to gain greater power, in order to protect all living beings of my Human Race?"
At this point, everyone understood why the Daoist Longgu had made his move.
The Daoist Longgu sighed and then said, "I didn't want to be exposed so soon, but I simply couldn't bear to watch one Primordial Spirit Seed after another die in battle."
"Fine, if I can kill you, brat, then my trip will have been worthwhile."
As soon as the Daoist Longgu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and unleashed a dazzling bolt of heavenly lightning, striking the Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor.
Seeing the Daoist Longgu attacking, the Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor's expression changed drastically.
Daoist Longgu had already cultivated to the fourth level of the Primordial Spirit before he fell into demonic possession. After falling into demonic possession, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has now cultivated to the sixth level of the Primordial Spirit realm. He also possesses several powerful Demon Treasure.
He was only at the first level of the Primordial Spirit stage. Even with the Tier 6 mid-grade Demon Dragon World-Reversing Halberd, he was no match for Daoist Longgu.
Upon realizing this, the Nine Nether Demon Dragon Emperor turned and fled, instantly transforming into a streak of light and flying into the distance.
There's no escaping it.
As soon as the Daoist Longgu finished speaking, he raised his hand and summoned a blood-red demonic amulet that flew out.
This treasure is called the Blood Cloud Pouch. It was created by the Daoist Longgu through cruel methods of sacrificing millions of Devil Cultivator. Its ruthlessness is even more Demonic Path than the Demonic Path.
