Chapter 414 Ninefold Dao Essence, Annihilation of the World!
It suddenly raised its head and roared, a roar like rolling thunder, echoing through the heavens and shaking the entire space violently, as if it would be torn to shreds by the powerful sound waves at any moment. "I am the King of the Extraterrestrial Demons! Today, I will let you ants witness my true power!" With this furious roar, the King of the Demons raised high the black battle axe in his hand, which exuded endless chill. On the axe blade, black light surged like a raging tide, seemingly capable of devouring all light and hope in the world.
"Darkness descends!" The Demon King roared once more, shaking the heavens and earth. In an instant, the black light that had been swirling around the battle axe suddenly condensed into a black pillar of light as thick as a giant python and tens of meters high, hurtling towards Xu Nian with destructive force. Wherever it passed, space was easily distorted and deformed like fragile paper; the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees withered and turned to dust, dissipating into the air. Even time seemed to freeze at this moment, everything becoming unusually slow and heavy.
The low-level demons gathered around, watching the rapidly approaching black pillar of light, were terrified, their faces drained of color and their bodies trembling. "This...this attack is terrifying!" one of the low-level demons screamed in horror. "We...we run!" another low-level demon, already terrified, turned and fled before the words were even finished. Unfortunately, their speed was as slow as a snail compared to the black pillar of light. In the blink of an eye, the black pillar of light, like a ferocious beast opening its blood-red maw, mercilessly swallowed all the poor low-level demons whole. Not even a trace remained, as if they had never existed in this world.
However, faced with such a terrifying attack, Xu Nian stood motionless like a statue. His eyes were calm as still water, revealing an unparalleled firmness and confidence, as if the terrifying pillar of light that could change the world was nothing more than a trivial trick to him.
He stared intently at the black beam of light that roared towards him like a raging dragon, his pupils contracting slightly, a hint of seriousness creeping into his eyes. "Hmm, interesting." His voice was soft, yet it resonated like thunder in the air. Then, a slight, disdainful sneer appeared on his lips: "However, to think you can defeat me with such insignificant power is utterly delusional! Far from it!"
Xu Nian snorted coldly, his tone full of mockery. He slowly raised his right hand, his movements elegant and composed. In an instant, dazzling golden light gathered in his palm like a tide, growing brighter and brighter, like a radiant golden sun rising. At the same time, nine layers of mysterious and profound Dao essence flowed wildly within his body like a surging river, the surging energy waves spreading outwards from him.
As the Dao essence circulated rapidly, a terrifying power that made people's hearts tremble suddenly erupted from his body. Its power was so great that the surrounding space could not withstand this force and began to tremble violently, as if it would collapse and shatter at any moment.
"Ninefold Dao essence condensed!" Xu Nian shouted in a low voice, his voice booming and deafening. At that moment, the golden light that had been gathered in his hand suddenly burst forth with ten thousand rays of light, instantly transforming into a huge golden pillar of light as thick as a bucket and tens of feet high, which shot straight into the sky with a world-destroying force.
Wherever this golden beam of light passed, the void was forcibly torn open, leaving a deep, dark rift, as if the entire world was about to crumble before it. The low-level demons gathered nearby, upon sensing this terrifying power, were all terrified, their faces drained of color and their hearts filled with dread.
"What... what kind of power is this?" One of the low-level demons cried out in terror, his voice trembling, his legs shaking uncontrollably.
"Too...too terrifying! We are completely powerless against him!" Another low-level demon was so frightened that his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, unable to even stand. These low-level demons, who usually acted arrogantly, were now completely devoid of their usual arrogance in the face of Xu Nian's astonishing power, filled only with fear and despair.
At this breathtaking moment, even the high and mighty Demon King couldn't help but show a deep look of shock in his eyes. "How...how is this possible?" The Demon King muttered to himself, his face filled with disbelief, "A mere human can possess such world-destroying power! This is simply inconceivable!"
A dazzling golden beam of light, like a roaring dragon, carrying boundless pressure and violent energy, charged forward with overwhelming force; at the same time, another jet-black beam of light, exuding a sinister and terrifying aura, appeared like a ferocious and dreadful beast, baring its fangs and claws as it met the golden beam of light.
When the two incredibly powerful beams of light collided, a deafening, earth-shattering roar erupted. The sound seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart, terrifying all who heard it. Accompanying the roar, the entire space began to tremble violently, as if it were about to collapse and shatter at any moment.
In this fierce collision, the originally imposing black pillar of light seemed to have encountered its nemesis, and was instantly and mercilessly devoured by the golden pillar of light. However, the golden pillar of light did not diminish its fierce offensive in the slightest, and continued to bombard the Heavenly Demon King relentlessly.
Upon seeing this, the Demon King's face turned deathly pale. Terrified, it hastily raised its massive, heavy black battle axe, attempting to block the overwhelming onslaught of the golden beams of light. However, all resistance seemed futile and powerless at this moment.
With a crisp "crack," the seemingly indestructible black battle axe shattered into countless fragments under the impact of the golden beam of light, scattering in all directions. Immediately afterward, the golden beam of light slammed into the body of the Demon King without any obstruction.
The Demon King let out a bloodcurdling scream. Its massive body was completely swallowed up in the blink of an eye by the ravages of the golden beam of light, leaving not even a trace behind.
This scene left the low-level demons gathered around completely dumbfounded and speechless. They could never have imagined that the usually majestic and powerful Demon King would be so easily defeated by a human, killed in a single move.
"This... how is this possible?" A low-level demon stared wide-eyed, muttering to itself in disbelief. Its trembling body swayed precariously like a candle in the wind, clearly utterly shocked by what it had just witnessed.
Xu Nian slowly lowered his right hand expressionlessly, his icy gaze fixed on the Heavenly Demon King, who was being mercilessly devoured by the golden pillar of light not far ahead. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a fleeting, almost imperceptible hint of disdain flashing across them.
"Pathetic." Xu Nian said softly in an extremely calm tone, as if he had just casually swatted a trivial fly. However, these four simple words exploded in the hearts of all the Heavenly Demons present like a thunderclap.
Immediately afterward, Xu Nian abruptly turned his head, casting his sharp, knife-like gaze upon the group of low-level Heavenly Demons behind him, who were already terrified. These poor creatures were all deathly pale, trembling uncontrollably, and many had even collapsed to the ground. When they saw Xu Nian's gaze, they were even more frightened, scrambling and kneeling in his direction, desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Spare us! Sir, please have mercy and let us go!"
"We know we were wrong! Please, have mercy and don't kill us!"
"We really dare not oppose you again! Please give us a way out!"
Faced with the tearful pleas of the group of low-level demons, Xu Nian remained unmoved. A faint killing intent flickered in his eyes, which were originally as deep as the sea.
"Since you are demons, you are destined to suffer the punishment of death," Xu Nian said coldly. Although his voice was not loud, the chilling aura contained within it was enough to freeze the surrounding air.
Having said that, Xu Nian no longer hesitated, and he raised his right hand again without hesitation. In an instant, dazzling golden light began to surge continuously from his palm, quickly converging into an incomparably bright sphere of light. Just as a bloody massacre was about to unfold, at this critical moment, an extremely strange and powerful mental force suddenly and unexpectedly entered Xu Nian's mind.
"Humble human, obediently accept my judgment!" With a furious roar, the Demon King's majestic and angry voice resounded deep within Xu Nian's mind.
"Since you're still alive, let me personally send you on your way!" His face was cold and his voice seemed to come from the deepest hell.
"Utterly arrogant!" The Demon King roared in fury, its voice deafening. Despite being utterly astonished by Xu Nian's unimaginably powerful spiritual strength, as a powerful overlord, it possessed its own pride and confidence, refusing to believe it could be defeated by this seemingly insignificant human. It gripped its massive black battle axe tightly, its body wreathed in raging demonic flames, and charged towards Xu Nian like a rampaging beast. The fierce wind from the axe howled, seemingly tearing the very fabric of space apart.
Facing the menacing Demon King, Xu Nian remained calm, without even flinching. He simply raised his right arm and casually swung it forward, accurately meeting the rapidly descending black battle axe.
"Clang!" A crisp sound of impact rang out as the black battle axe collided with Xu Nian's arm, sending sparks flying. However, to everyone's astonishment, Xu Nian simply blocked the attack with a nonchalant gesture, effectively stopping the black battle axe's momentum.
"Wh...what?" The Demon King's eyes widened, its face filled with disbelief. It simply couldn't understand how its all-out attack had been so easily blocked by its opponent.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself." Xu Nian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a contemptuous sneer. Immediately afterward, he pushed out with his right palm with tremendous force, and a terrifying, overwhelming force suddenly erupted.
In an instant, the black battle axe flew back at an even faster speed than it had come from, like a cannonball struck by a heavy blow. The Demon King, clinging tightly to the axe, was also carried backward by the immense force.
"Bang!" Another earth-shattering roar resounded as the Demon King's massive body slammed into the ground, creating a bottomless crater in the hard earth. The low-ranking demons who had been swaggering around were all stunned, completely unable to believe what they were seeing.
Xu Nian completely ignored the pitiful pleas for mercy from the demons. A chilling killing intent suddenly flashed in his cold eyes.
"Hmph, since you are all Heavenly Demons, don't blame me for being ruthless. Today, I will let you all die!" Xu Nian said coldly, his face expressionless. Before he finished speaking, he slowly raised his right hand again. In an instant, dazzling golden light gathered rapidly in his palm like a tide.
"Ninefold Dao Essence, Annihilation!" With a deep, angry roar, the golden light that had been gathered in his palm suddenly erupted with an unparalleled power. This power spread rapidly at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a huge golden pillar of light, tens of feet in diameter, shooting straight into the sky.
The golden beam of light was dazzling, seemingly capable of illuminating the entire world. It possessed a terrifying, world-destroying power, like a ferocious beast opening its blood-red maw, lunging fiercely at the panicked low-level demons around it.
The low-level demons didn't even have time to react before being completely engulfed by the golden pillar of light. Under its immense power, they were as fragile as candles in the wind, utterly powerless to resist. In an instant, all the low-level demons enveloped by the golden pillar of light were reduced to ashes, vanishing without a trace, leaving not even the slightest trace of their existence.
