Chapter 412 Heavenly Demon Rift
The demon's eyes were bloodshot, his face contorted with rage, and he was furious beyond measure. "You little beast, how dare you look down on my Ten Thousand Demons Sect like this!" he roared through gritted teeth, raising his hands high and letting out a long howl as he looked up at the sky.
"Today, I will show you the true strength of my Ten Thousand Demons Sect!" As the words fell, an extremely powerful and terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the Heavenly Demon's body. This aura, like a surging wave, swept wildly outwards.
In an instant, the once clear sky suddenly turned dark and gloomy, and thick, dark clouds began to churn rapidly. Streaks of dazzling lightning ripped through the sky, and deafening thunderclaps echoed one after another.
"The Black Sun Ascends!" the Heavenly Demon roared hoarsely, his voice echoing through the heavens. At the same time, above his head, a huge black sphere was slowly condensing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This black sphere was dozens of feet in size, its surface densely covered with all sorts of strange runes. These runes flickered with an eerie light, emanating a terrifying and chilling aura of destruction.
"What is this?" Everyone present was shocked. They stared wide-eyed at the ever-growing black sphere, their hearts filled with fear and confusion. They had never seen such a terrifying attack before.
"This is... a forbidden technique of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect!" Someone in the crowd shouted out first, their voice filled with barely concealed terror. "Legend has it that this move, once unleashed, can destroy everything in the world!"
"With the power of an ant, you dare to presume to ascend to heaven?" Xu Nian's voice seemed to emanate from the deepest hell, cold and calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, like a stagnant pool. He slowly and deliberately raised his right hand, his movements as gentle as if afraid of disturbing something. Just then, a blinding golden light flashed across his open palm. Upon closer inspection, it was the eighth elemental power flickering faintly within.
Before this, Xu Nian had been imprisoned in a dungeon. By sheer chance, he successfully absorbed the essence blood of the infamous Blood Demon Ancestor. Who could have imagined that this adventure would unexpectedly grant him the legendary Eighth Dao Essence?
This eighth layer of energy is extraordinary, containing an extremely powerful and mysterious defensive force. It is said that those who possess this power can easily withstand any form of attack in the world, making them an invincible shield.
"Break!" A deafening roar erupted from the patriarch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Accompanying his roar, a gigantic, jet-black sphere streaked across the sky like a meteor, hurtling towards Xu Nian with lightning speed. In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds surged.
"Boom!" With a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the vast and boundless Xuan Tian Forest was violently shaken as if by an invisible giant hand. The ground trembled violently, seemingly on the verge of collapsing. The terrifying shockwave, like a raging hurricane, swept wildly in all directions. Wherever it passed, towering trees and low shrubs were instantly leveled, turning into dust that filled the air. A huge, bottomless crater, tens of meters in diameter, appeared on the once solid ground, a horrifying sight.
"It's over..." Gazing at the devastated scene before him, the patriarch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect gasped for breath, muttering weakly to himself. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the scene ahead, his face contorted with savagery and triumph. In his mind, the fatal blow he had just unleashed was incredibly powerful, capable of utterly annihilating Xu Nian without leaving a trace.
However, as the billowing dust that filled the surroundings gradually dissipated, the patriarch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect stood frozen in shock, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. He was astonished to find that Xu Nian, who was at the center of the storm, was still standing firmly in place, without a single hair on his body damaged, and not even the hem of his clothes fluttering.
The dense golden light emanating from his body resembled a dazzling sun, continuously shimmering with a mesmerizing brilliance.
"This...how is this possible?" The highly respected and powerful patriarch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was filled with disbelief, his eyes wide as he stared intently at the scene unfolding before him. He simply couldn't imagine that the young man named Xu Nian possessed such ability, capable of withstanding his unparalleled "Black Sun Ascends to Heaven" technique.
"Hmph, I've said it before, your so-called petty tricks are utterly meaningless to me." Xu Nian's expression was calm, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealing a contemptuous smile. His words floated over lightly, yet struck the heart of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect's patriarch like a heavy hammer.
Upon hearing this, the patriarch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect trembled with rage. He pointed a trembling finger at Xu Nian, his mouth opening and closing several times, but he couldn't utter a single word. At this moment, he felt like a ridiculous clown, desperately showing off his insignificant skills in front of Xu Nian, while the other party simply waved his hand nonchalantly, neutralizing all his attacks without a trace.
"Alright, now it's my turn to make my move." Xu Nian's voice suddenly turned icy cold, like frost, sending chills down one's spine. At the same time, a sharp golden light flashed in his eyes, which had been calm as water.
As Xu Nian uttered the chilling words, "I told you, it's nothing but the power of an ant," he suddenly took a step forward. This seemingly simple and casual step seemed to contain boundless power and profound mystery. In an instant, the surrounding space seemed unable to withstand this terrifying pressure and began to distort violently.
Everyone present only felt a blur before their eyes, and before they could even react, Xu Nian's tall and upright figure had vanished from the spot like a ghost.
"Oh no! Ancestor, save me!" Upon seeing this, the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, who had been closely watching the battle, felt a sudden tightness in his heart. An unprecedented fear surged into his heart, and he cried out to his ancestor for help with all his might.
Suddenly, an extremely strong sense of crisis swept over him like a surging tide, enveloping him completely. His heart clenched, and a thought flashed through his mind—dodge! However, when he tried to move his body, he was shocked to find that no matter how hard he tried, his body was as if it had been subjected to some powerful immobilization spell, and he could not move an inch.
Just then, a voice, cold and devoid of any warmth, whispered in his ear like a ghost: "Too late." These two words were like an extremely sharp dagger, piercing straight into his heart and plunging him into an abyss.
Xu Nian appeared out of nowhere, now standing behind him like a ghost. She stretched out a long, slender, and fair hand, her movements as gentle as if afraid of waking a sleeping baby, and lightly placed it on his shoulder.
"You..." The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect used all his strength to turn his head with difficulty. When his gaze met Xu Nian's, who was so close to him, his pupils suddenly contracted, and endless fear was revealed in his eyes.
Xu Nian remained expressionless, her demeanor serene as still water, and simply uttered three words: "It's over." Before she finished speaking, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed in her palm. Immediately afterward, the ninth Dao essence hidden deep within erupted like a volcanic eruption.
"Ah!" With a heart-wrenching, sky-piercing scream, the body of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect Master began to disintegrate rapidly at a visible speed. In the blink of an eye, his body transformed into countless specks of light, like brilliant shooting stars in the night sky, gradually dissipating into the air and finally disappearing without a trace.
At this point, all nine layers of Dao essence were in Xu Nian's hands.
"This..." Xu Nian slowly withdrew his hand, quietly closed his eyes, and focused on feeling the powerful force surging within his body like a vast ocean. After a moment, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a barely perceptible smile.
"The nine layers of Dao essence are finally complete," Xu Nian murmured softly, her voice filled with barely concealed excitement.
At the same time, the patriarch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, who was not far away, witnessed everything that was happening before his eyes, his face filled with disbelief. His eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, and he kept muttering to himself, "Impossible... This is absolutely impossible..." As he spoke, his body involuntarily staggered backward, as if he had lost all the strength to support him.
His eyes widened, filled with utter shock, as if he had witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world. He stared incredulously at Xu Nian, who was completely unharmed and unharmed.
"This Ninth Dao Essence... it's so powerful!" he murmured to himself, his voice trembling, a wave of regret washing over him. Only now did he truly realize the grave mistake he had made—regret for not intervening sooner to stop Xu Nian from collecting that mysterious and powerful Ninefold Dao Essence. However, it was all too late now; no amount of remorse or self-reproach could change the fait accompli.
Suddenly, the patriarch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect's legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground without any dignity, tears streaming down his face, crying like a child. "Xu Nian... I was wrong..." he sobbed, looking at Xu Nian with pleading eyes, his appearance utterly pathetic. "I am willing to submit to you from now on, and willingly become your subordinate, I only beg you to have mercy and spare my dog's life!" His cries and words intertwined, sounding so sincere, as if he had truly repented.
However, at that moment, the Wanmo Sect disciples who were still in shock were completely dumbfounded. This series of events had happened so quickly and suddenly that they didn't even have time to react.
Just as everyone was astonished, Xu Nian, who had been standing still, finally made a move. He took a simple step, but this simple step seemed to transcend the boundaries of time and space, and his figure instantly appeared before the Heavenly Demon. At the same time, the nine layers of Dao essence rapidly gathered behind him, finally condensing into a dazzling golden halo. This halo shone with a mesmerizing light, radiating an unparalleled sacred aura, as if a god from the heavens had descended to the mortal world.
"Ants, how dare you be so insolent before me?" Xu Nian's expression was cold as he snorted. He slowly raised his right hand, and in his palm, the light of the nine layers of Dao essence intertwined and flickered, like the most dazzling star in the night sky. Immediately afterward, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body. This aura was so strong that it caused the surrounding space to begin to distort and deform violently.
"No!—" The patriarch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect let out a desperate, heart-wrenching roar. The sound seemed to come from the depths of the Nine Nether Hell, filled with fear and resentment. At this moment, his only thought was to escape this place as quickly as possible, but reality cruelly trapped him firmly.
Despite his best efforts to break free, his body felt as if it were being crushed by an invisible mountain, unable to move an inch. At this moment, he was completely locked onto by Xu Nian's incredibly powerful aura.
Just then, Xu Nian unleashed a deafening roar: "Ninefold Dao Essence, destroy it!" With this roar, the terrifying power contained within the Ninefold Dao Essence surged forth like a super volcano about to erupt, with overwhelming force.
In an instant, a deafening roar erupted. The entire world trembled violently, the wind and clouds changed color, and the sun and moon lost their former brilliance, becoming dim and lifeless. The terrifying energy fluctuations swept outwards in all directions like a raging torrent.
Faced with this devastating force, everything around seemed so small, fragile, and vulnerable. Whether it was towering mountains, rivers and lakes, or flowers, trees, birds, and beasts, everything was reduced to dust in the blink of an eye.
As for the arrogant patriarch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, he didn't even have a chance to scream before being completely swallowed and annihilated by this unparalleled power. Not even a trace remained; he vanished without a trace, completely and utterly.
For a moment, the world fell into a deathly silence, with only Xu Nian standing proudly in the endless void. His robes, fluttering in the wind, resembled a battle flag, showcasing his invincible style and majesty. His eyes gleamed with a dazzling light, a sense of supreme dominance over all living beings.
