Chapter 259 - 150: Gu Sha Descends, an Earth-shattering Battle

"Hm?!"

’This brute is actually this strong?!’

Gu Sha, who stood tall in mid-air with his clothes whipping in the wind, was slightly shocked. He was burly and muscular, with dark red pupils.

The Physique and lifespans of Demon Fiends were naturally far superior to those of the Human Race. Yet, his casual strike had just been mercilessly crushed by his opponent. This could only mean the other man’s Cultivation was a notch higher than his.

’But so what if he’s a bit stronger? We’re a team of two!’

The next instant,

Ao Jiuyou, who was standing to the side, took a step forward. A dark glint flashed in his dragon-like eyes as he clenched his five fingers into a fist.

He gathered his terrifying, abyssal Magical Power and then threw a punch. In an instant, a Fist Seal hundreds of miles wide, imbued with a dreadful, profound Dao Rhythm, shattered layer after layer of the void as it slammed toward the giant, blood-sea palm!!

Instantly,

the terrifying, abyssal Fist Seal and the giant, blood-sea palm collided violently in the sky, erupting in another horrifying explosion. The entire world seemed to shatter, as if on the verge of complete annihilation.

"Two of them..."

Standing in mid-air, his robes fluttering and his ink-black hair dancing wildly, Jiang Qingfeng’s expression darkened.

’But judging by their auras, they’re probably newly-ascended Tongxuan cultivators.’

’They dare to hunt me so soon after their promotion?’

’What audacity!!’

Soon, Jiang Qingfeng’s expression returned to normal, as placid as still water.

When he spoke, his voice was like a great bell, resonating with the sound of the Dao:

"Audacious Demon Fiends!!

How dare you invade the lands of my Human Race! Do you truly think there is no one left to oppose you?!"

But Gu Sha, hearing this from above, sneered. "Heh heh,

what right do you have to call yourself a member of the Human Race? Have you ever heard of a human who uses the flesh and blood of their own kind for their Cultivation Technique?"

"That self-righteous act of yours makes me want to puke!"

Hearing this, Jiang Qingfeng’s expression below remained as placid as an old well, without a single ripple. Having reached his Realm and lived for so many long years, he had long since forged an unshakeable Dao heart.

"Besides, do you really not recognize me?!

I’m here to take your damn life!" Gu Sha’s voice boomed from above, filled with boundless killing intent.

"Oh?

It’s you!!" The moment he spoke, Jiang Qingfeng instantly understood. No wonder the Demon Qi felt so familiar; it was from the same source as the one from Chong’an City.

"Heh heh, if I could destroy you once,

I can destroy you twice!!" Jiang Qingfeng said, his expression unchanging, attempting to provoke his opponent.

"You’re courting death!!" A deep, bloody glint flashed in Gu Sha’s pupils, and the Demon Qi around him surged once more.

But in the next instant, Jiang Qingfeng strode through the air, his figure vanishing abruptly. In a flash, he had already crossed a distance of several thousand miles.

"You think you can escape? You will die today! Not even the Human Emperor can save you—I decree it!" With a furious roar from Gu Sha, a vast demonic sound shook the heavens and the earth. His figure then flickered, tearing through space in Jiang Qingfeng’s direction, instantly crossing thousands of miles to give chase.

At the same time, Ao You, who was beside him, strode through the void. His figure vanished, tearing through space and crossing thousands of miles in an instant to join the pursuit.

"Hah... We’re... we’re still alive!"

Someone muttered, staring dumbfounded at the deep, dark craters in the sky and the wreckage of Lijing City.

Others had blank expressions, completely stunned, as if scared witless.

"Yeah, we’re still alive," someone said, patting their chest with the relief of a survivor.

"Two terrifying figures... I wonder if the National Preceptor can hold them off?" a middle-aged man in a gray robe murmured, his gaze fixed on the direction Jiang Qingfeng had fled.

...

「Meanwhile.」

Gu Yun and Xiao Chen were crossing the East Capital Mountain Range, heading toward the Celestial Capital Dynasty. Beyond the Celestial Capital Dynasty lay the Tianqi Mountain Range.

High up in the sky, amidst endless white clouds, two streaks of light were speeding along.

"Brother Xiao, do you know anything about the master of that cave estate?" Gu Yun asked as they flew.

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, then slowly replied, "After consulting numerous ancient texts, I suspect the top-tier expert, who was close to the Half-Step Harmonization Realm, was Celestial Flame True Monarch from five hundred years ago."

"Celestial Flame True Monarch?! The terrifying True Monarch who unleashed his full power and took three Great Demon Fiends of the same level down with him?" Gu Yun asked, slightly surprised.

From what he knew, this Celestial Flame True Monarch was a supreme prodigy. He had broken through the great chasm and entered the Tongxuan Realm before the age of fifty.

After turning three hundred, he stepped into the Half-Step Harmonization Realm and was a peerless genius with an extremely high chance of reaching the Unity Realm. Unfortunately, five hundred years ago, during a Demon Fiend invasion of the Eastern Profound Domain,

he was caught in an enemy encirclement. In the end, relying on his strength alone, he managed to take three King Level Demon Fiends down with him. After that battle, Celestial Flame True Monarch vanished without a trace shortly after.

Some said he had successfully broken through to the Unity Realm and traveled Outside East Profound Domain, or even Outside Celestial Essence Realm. But to think that Celestial Flame True Monarch had fallen in the end... it was truly a lamentable fate.

...

「On a vast, ten-thousand-mile plain outside the Celestial Capital Dynasty.」

BANG! BANG! BANG!!

Three terrifying figures were locked in a frantic battle across the sky.

The entire world was filled with the remnants of Dao Rhythm and overwhelming Demonic Qi.

The heavens were shattered, with massive craters appearing across the sky.

Giant abyssal rifts, stretching for hundreds or even thousands of miles, appeared in the sky. They were so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. Terrifying streams of chaotic energy and astral winds gushed out like wild beasts.

The entire sky looked as if it had cracked and was about to collapse.

"AHH!

Demon Fiend! Sinful Dragon! All of you, die for me!!" Drenched in blood, his magnificent black robes whipped in the wind. Jiang Qingfeng’s ink-black hair danced wildly, his eyes fierce. His Heaven-Reaching Magical Power erupted, and terrifying Dao Rhythm overflowed from him, making him look like a god and a demon all at once!!
