Slaying the Heavenly Demon

Roar!

The Heavenly Demon threw back its head and roared in fury!

At once, terrifying demonic energy erupted...

Even Su Fang, separated by the formation, felt a suffocating pressure.

"This is bad!"

"This aura... it's a Heavenly Demon at the level of an Eighth-Stage Martial King..."

Su Fang immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Although the formations set up by the [Heavenly Evolution Array Disk] were formidable, Su Fang had no confidence at all that they could defeat an Eighth-Stage Heavenly Demon.

After all, his cultivation was far too weak. He was only a third-stage Martial General.

Whether he could defeat this Heavenly Demon through the [Heavenly Evolution Formation] was something even he did not know.

Meanwhile.

After clearly seeing his surroundings, the Eighth-Stage Heavenly Demon suddenly cried out in shock.

"How is this possible?"

"How could there still be someone who knows how to set up the Four Symbols Illusion Formation?"

"Who exactly are you?"

"Why do you know the Four Symbols Illusion Formation?"

Upon realizing that he had been trapped within the [Four Symbols Illusion Formation], the Eighth-Stage Heavenly Demon expert immediately grew tense...

He stared fixedly at the sky within the formation, as though trying to see through it and find the person who had set it up.

On the other side, Su Fang was equally astonished when he saw that this Eighth-Stage Heavenly Demon expert had actually recognized the [Four Symbols Illusion Formation].

He could not help recalling the events within the [Life-and-Death Chessboard].

"It seems this Heavenly Demon is very familiar with the [Sixty-Four Heavenly Evolution Formations]!"

"This is rather troubling."

Su Fang muttered with a deep frown.

He had already been at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation.

If not for the [Heavenly Evolution Array Disk], he would not even have been qualified to look this Heavenly Demon in the eye.

And now, this Heavenly Demon even understood the [Heavenly Evolution Formation] to some extent. That only made Su Fang's disadvantage greater.

With that thought, Su Fang decided to go all out and strike first.

With a thought, he directly activated a grand formation within the [Four Symbols Illusion Formation]—the [Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder Slaying Formation].

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Countless bolts of lightning gathered, then came crashing down.

"Damn it!"

"This is the [Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder Slaying Formation]!"

That Eighth-Stage Heavenly Demon expert recognized the formation Su Fang had set up once again.

He immediately began cursing loudly!

"Human formation master, you are utterly despicable! If you have the guts, show yourself and fight me one-on-one..."

While cursing, the Eighth-Stage Heavenly Demon expert dodged the lightning filling the sky.

At the same time, he began gathering demonic energy and continuously bombarding the weaker points of the formation.

Seeing this, Su Fang grew somewhat anxious.

Although that Heavenly Demon expert was not particularly proficient in formations, the areas he attacked really were the formation's weaker spots.

If this continued for too long, the formation might very well be blasted open.

Seeing this, Su Fang immediately took out spirit stones and poured spiritual energy into the [Heavenly Evolution Array Disk] to repair the formation.

At the same time, Su Fang continuously searched his memories for formations from the [Sixty-Four Heavenly Evolution Formations] that could better restrain Heavenly Demons.

Got it! I'll use the [Sevenfold Demon-Eradication Formation]. Su Fang thought.

The [Sevenfold Demon-Eradication Formation] was specifically designed to restrain Demonic Beasts that cultivated primarily through demonic energy.

As long as a Demonic Beast remained within the [Sevenfold Demon-Eradication Formation], its demonic energy would be continuously drained away until the demon was eradicated.

And this Eighth-Stage Heavenly Demon was precisely a Demonic Beast that cultivated demonic energy.

Using the [Sevenfold Demon-Eradication Formation] was perfectly suited for this.

With that thought, Su Fang immediately activated the comprehension system and began comprehending the [Sevenfold Demon-Eradication Formation].

"Ding! Do you wish to comprehend the [Sevenfold Demon-Eradication Formation]?"

"Yes," Su Fang chose.

Soon afterward, diagrams of formation patterns began appearing in his mind. Before long, Su Fang had completely comprehended the [Sevenfold Demon-Eradication Formation].

After successfully comprehending it.

Su Fang waved the [Heavenly Evolution Array Disk] and immediately began setting it up.

Very quickly, the [Sevenfold Demon-Eradication Formation] was successfully arranged and immediately activated.

In an instant, the heavens and earth within the [Four Symbols Illusion Realm] began to darken.

A gray aura began spreading...

Wherever that aura passed, within the space once filled with demonic energy,

All the demonic energy actually began to collapse and scatter... "Th-this... what formation is this..."

The Eighth-Stage Heavenly Demon began crying out in panic.

Clearly, he was not well versed in every [Heavenly Evolution Formation].

Seeing this, Su Fang felt slightly relieved.

He then continued increasing the strength with which the [Sevenfold Demon-Eradication Formation] drained demonic power.

"Damn it!"

"My demonic power is dissipating..."

The Eighth-Stage Heavenly Demon expert howled. He immediately panicked like an ant on a hot pan, crashing wildly around inside the formation...

The three formations trembled continuously beneath the Heavenly Demon's impacts...

"An Eighth-Stage Martial King-level Heavenly Demon expert really is difficult to deal with..." Su Fang said in slight frustration.

He had thought he could already hold the Heavenly Demon in the palm of his hand, but he had not expected its demonic body to be so powerful as well, smashing the formations to the very brink of collapse.

"Hmph, I refuse to believe I can't wear you to death." Su Fang said fiercely.

He then took out every spirit stone on him and continuously poured spiritual energy into the [Heavenly Evolution Array Disk]...

Thus, the three [Heavenly Evolution Formations] were repeatedly repaired at the brink of collapse, never allowing themselves to be broken...

Meanwhile, the Eighth-Stage Heavenly Demon within the three great formations grew weaker and weaker, and the force of his resistance gradually diminished.

Only after enduring until this point did Su Fang finally relax a little.

Then, he began to feel heartache over the fact that he had consumed more than half of his spirit stones.

One had to know that spirit stones were already extremely hard to come by in the Gods and Devils Cemetery.

There were practically no sources of production here. Most spirit stones had been brought in by prisoners through their storage rings.

If he had not obtained a large number of spirit stones from that kid Jiang Chen, Su Fang might truly have been unable to outlast the enemy in this battle of attrition.

But fortunately, the final victor would ultimately be him.

Seeing the Heavenly Demon in the formation, already at death's door and no longer moving.

Su Fang decided to give him the "final blow."

Countless thunderclouds gathered within the formation. Then, tens of thousands of lightning bolts crashed down at the same time.

"Ah! Human! I curse you to be hunted by my Heavenly Demon brethren for all eternity!"

"Our Heavenly Demon Clan will one day return to this world!"

Within the countless bolts of lightning, the Eighth-Stage Heavenly Demon roared unwillingly.

Then, he turned to dust and vanished...

Seeing that he had finally killed the Eighth-Stage Heavenly Demon, the heavy stone in Su Fang's heart was finally set down.

He then withdrew the formations and lay exhausted on the ground to rest.

Yet the words spoken by that Heavenly Demon before his death kept replaying in his mind.

"The Heavenly Demon Clan will return to this world?"

"Then everything that happened in the [Life-and-Death Chessboard] was real. And in ancient times, there truly was a great war between humans and demons."

"Why is there not the slightest record of it in later generations?"

Questions arose one after another in Su Fang's mind.

Then, he recalled that this tomb belonged to an elder of the Violet Star Palace.

Yet a Heavenly Demon had appeared inside it.

No matter how he thought about it, this matter had an enormous connection to the Violet Star Palace.

Most likely, there was a spy from the Heavenly Demon Clan within the Violet Star Palace, and that spy's status was not low.
