Chapter 678: Heaven and Earth Magic Sword

“Do you like it?”

Hong Yu pointed to the camp burning fiercely all around them, a playful smile on his face.

This nearly sent Chen Tao into a rage.

A camp was a symbol of a faction’s honor. Unless they were mortal enemies, few would dare to burn down another’s camp directly.

Doing so was undoubtedly like a vicious slap across their faces.

It could easily provoke a fight to the death between the two factions.

Not only had Hong Yu done it, but he was also playfully calling it a ‘welcoming bonfire’ in his honor. This made Chen Tao’s face shift between ashen and pale. He gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill Hong Yu on the spot.

He trembled all over, his eyes practically splitting with rage. “Beichen, you’ve gone too far!”

“Gone too far? Are you even qualified to say that?”

Hong Yu was fearless, his voice neither servile nor overbearing. “During the recruitment trial of the Spirit Cat Race, we had a fair and square duel. You lost and resented me for it—that is unjust. Afterward, you incited the Four Great Divine Cities to band together against us—that is inhumane. And now you’ve attacked innocent Cat Girl Warriors—that is treacherous!”

“You, an inhumane, unjust, and treacherous scumbag, what right do you have to accuse me of going too far?” Hong Yu’s words were sharp.

His Momentum alone was enough to completely suppress Chen Tao.

One sentence after another.

Every line struck at the heart, every word a razor’s edge.

Chen Tao’s face alternated between shades of green and white, leaving him speechless. Waves of furious heat flared from his nostrils, and his eyes turned crimson as the Profound Iron Treasure Fan appeared in his palm.

BANG!

The Treasure Fan snapped open, and he charged at Hong Yu, intent on killing him.

Hong Yu raised his Godslaying Spear and rushed forward, and a great battle erupted in an instant.

“*Piercing Void*—None Can Contend!”

Hong Yu opened with a sharp, aggressive attack.

He gripped the Godslaying Spear single-handedly in his right arm. With a sudden shudder in mid-air, a twist of his wrist sent the spear dancing into a dazzling flower of afterimages, like a golden lotus abruptly blooming.

Rings of golden energy rippled, faint and indistinct.

Expanding and contracting.

Fluctuating up and down.

A sharp, golden Spear Aura condensed on the tip of the spear. The terrifying, magnificent Spear Aura stretched a hundred meters long as it blasted toward Chen Tao.

The gale-force winds from Chen Tao’s Treasure Fan met the brilliant Spear Aura and shattered like tofu hitting a blade, utterly broken apart by Hong Yu’s strike.

Hong Yu’s combat power had risen once again.

He was far stronger than he had been during the trial. Achieving the Half-step Primordial Spirit Realm had boosted his strength yet again.

“Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant!”

The moment the massive Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant appeared, it stomped viciously at Chen Tao. The kick was incredibly fierce and explosive, stirring up a titanic wave of Spiritual Power that surged like a tsunami, crashing down on Chen Tao in an instant.

BAM!

How powerful was the Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant’s kick?

It sent Chen Tao flying.

The qi and blood in Chen Tao’s body churned, making him feel awful. His face flushed beet-red, and a horrifying light surged in his eyes. “Bajiao Divine Fan!”

A massive fan suddenly materialized behind him.

It was shaped like a plantain leaf.

Its entire body was a verdant green.

Strange patterns covered its surface, like Divine Patterns etched by Deities. Light flowed across them, and wisps of a strange, boundless energy radiated outward.

“Celestial God’s Wind!”

Chen Tao gripped the Bajiao Divine Fan with both hands and swung it abruptly.

Azure Flowing Light enveloped the Bajiao Divine Fan. Nine azure storm dragons let out earth-shattering roars as they charged toward Hong Yu.

The azure storm dragons twisted their bodies, their movements sharp and clean.

They attacked from eight different directions, each one pulsing with an extremely strong Energy Aura. The vast, sweeping power made the mountains below tremble with a RUMBLE RUMBLE, as if they could be swept up by the gales at any moment and hurled into the void.

‘What powerful Mysteries of Wind. Chen Tao truly is extraordinary to have earned the title of Divine King!’

Hong Yu marveled to himself.

He took a deep breath, and his entire body erupted in an azure glow as green Dragon Scales covered him from head to toe.

The face beneath his Han Yuqianyan mask held a hint of madness.

He had just inspected the ten Cat Maidens. Their cultivation had been completely crippled, and their captors had clearly intended to keep them as playthings.

Such an act enraged Hong Yu.

“Wind and Thunder Beast Technique!”

Hong Yu roared.

Thunder in his left hand, Wind Fiend in his right.

Under the combined radiance of the Thunder and Wind Fiend, a massive Mongolian Spider Toad abruptly took shape.

The Mongolian Spider Toad let out a GURGLE GURGLE before opening its great maw and spewing a terrifying Energy Beam imbued with the power of Thunder and Wind Fiend.

What was Wind Fiend?

It was the fiend formed from wind!

Its status among winds was equivalent to that of a Godslayer among humans!

Faced with the Wind Fiend, the nine storm dragons summoned by Chen Tao seemed to possess sentience, as they began to tremble audibly.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

As the destructive radiance from the Mongolian Spider Toad—infused with the power of Wind Fiend and Thunder—swept over them, the nine storm dragons were instantly annihilated, dissolving into faint azure light that scattered in the void.

The destructive radiance shot toward Chen Tao.

Fear flickered in Chen Tao’s eyes. The Mongolian Spider Toad’s attack was too terrifying. He immediately retreated, his figure flashing back several hundred meters.

But Hong Yu had anticipated his evasion. He moved with incredible speed and caught up to Chen Tao.

“Purple Extreme Divine Light!”

A black radiance stirred in his left eye. The Thunder Emperor’s Divine Eyes activated the Second Layer of the Purple Extreme Divine Light—Annihilation Divine Light!

A jet-black beam of light shot out.

In a flash, it reached Chen Tao. He subconsciously blocked with his Bajiao Divine Fan. SIZZLE! Thunder instantly spread across the fan. The terrifying electrical shock made Chen Tao instinctively loosen his grip, and the Bajiao Divine Fan fell from his hands.

At the same time, Hong Yu closed the distance and kicked Chen Tao in the face.

“WAH!”

Chen Tao was sent flying by the kick, plummeting from the sky and crashing to the ground with a BOOM.

“Damn it!”

The moment he hit the ground, Chen Tao bounced back up, disheveled and with blood at the corner of his mouth.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

His venomous gaze fixed on Hong Yu. “You forced my hand!”

“Unlimited Universe, Heaven and Earth Magic Sword!”

Chen Tao suddenly roared.

An immensely powerful, jet-black Divine Sword emerged from his back. The sword’s aura was boundless. The moment it appeared, it unleashed waves of black radiance, as if countless Resentful Evil Spirits were swirling around its blade.

Chen Tao gripped the black Demon Sword, a chilling light in his eyes. “The world thinks my best weapon is the fan, but in reality, the sword is my ultimate trump card! Beichen, forcing me to use this Heaven and Earth Magic Sword… you can die proud!”

The moment his voice fell, Chen Tao swung the Demon Sword in his hand. “Demon Moves the World!”

The sword strike was jet-black and chilling.

Its dazzling light reached Hong Yu in an instant—an incomparably sharp black sword light that seemed capable of tearing the heavens asunder.

It was like a great demon descending from the sky, opening its bloody maw to devour Hong Yu.

In the distance, the late-arriving King Lingxiao and his group watched this sword strike with horrified expressions. “Chen Tao has such a powerful Sword Skill? This man’s schemes run too deep!”

“Beichen is also hiding his true strength, to be able to force Chen Tao to use his trump card!”

“This man must be eliminated!”

The few Divine Kings from the Four Great Divine Cities exchanged glances, their killing intent palpable.

But just as they were about to make a move, they found themselves locked on by several powerful auras. It was Bear Tao and his companions.

Tiger Wei wore a domineering smile. “Well, well, it’s not every day we get to see such a spectacular duel. Surely no one would be so blind as to interrupt them, right?”

“Hmph! If anyone dares ruin my mood while I’m watching the show, I’ll kill ’em!”

Bear Tao’s voice was muffled and gruff. He looked simple and honest, but no one dared to underestimate him.

“This is a fight between us humans. Bear Tao, Tiger Wei, are you going to interfere?” King Lingxiao said with a frown.

Bear Tao roared with laughter. “That Beichen is a powerful ally of the Spirit Cat Race, which makes him one of our War Race’s side. You tell me, should we interfere?”

“You…”

A powerhouse next to King Lingxiao growled in anger.

Bear Tao pumped his fist. “What? You want a piece of me?”

“I…”

The man’s face turned ashen.

Bear Tao’s power was immense, with one foot already in the City Lord Level. He didn’t dare fight him.

King Lingxiao’s expression flickered. Knowing these people were watching, he knew he couldn’t possibly attack Hong Yu. His gaze darkened as he muttered, “Chen Tao’s Demon Sword seems to have come from *that* place. With his ability, he should be able to kill Beichen with it!”

With that, everyone turned their attention back to the fierce battle in the sky.

Facing a sword strike as peerless as a Demon Venerable’s, Hong Yu’s gaze flickered intensely.

This Demon Sword was not only incredibly sharp and powerful, but it also concealed a demon lord whose vast demonic might could affect one’s Heart Spirit.

If his Spiritual Power hadn’t just broken through to the Peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm, he feared he would have been completely suppressed by the demon’s might, his movements restricted, losing the opportunity to fight back.

‘Looks like I’ll have to use that move!’

Hong Yu took a deep breath.

He shot into the sky. A vast, hazy mist churned before him—it was Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathering at a frantic pace.

Suddenly, a golden radiance appeared before Hong Yu.

The golden radiance took the form of a solid gold gate that grew larger and larger. It was Rashomon.

At Hong Yu’s summons, Rashomon swelled until it was a hundred zhang tall. Runes flowed across its surface, and the relief of a Gate God slowly materialized.

Its eyes snapped open.

SWOOSH!

A sharp golden light surged from within the gate.

It was a shield, as dazzlingly golden as a blazing sun appearing before him.

SHHINK!

The moment the tip of the sword, overflowing with Demonic Qi, struck the Golden Radiance Shield, both of them vanished simultaneously.

In that single instant, Hong Yu had already consumed over thirty percent of his Primordial Gang’s Power. His gaze turned cold, and he pressed his hands downward. A RUMBLE that shook the very air swept across the world.

The immense Rashomon descended directly toward Chen Tao, aiming to suppress him.

“This is bad!”

Chen Tao’s expression changed abruptly. He slashed again with his Demon Sword, but it couldn’t resist Rashomon. It looked as if he was about to be crushed to death.

But just then, a giant golden dragon suddenly burst from the earth! With a ROAR, it soared into the sky, blocking Rashomon’s descent. Streams of dazzling, five-colored treasure light shot straight into the clouds.

Everyone was stunned by the sight, but the powerhouses who had witnessed this scene before showed looks of utter ecstasy…

“The Central Medicine Garden has appeared!”
