Chapter 409 Demon Suppression
But at that moment, a sudden change occurred! The ground beneath their feet began to tremble violently, as if something terrifying was about to burst forth. Immediately afterwards, countless crimson rays of light erupted from the ground like a volcanic eruption, quickly intertwining to form a gigantic, eerie blood net that exuded a strong, bloody aura, descending upon Xu Nian from above.
"Hmph, it's nothing but a bunch of petty tricks!" Facing the sudden attack, Xu Nian snorted coldly and easily avoided the blood net's coverage area with a flash.
His figure was like a ghost.
Very fast.
A fleeting hint of disdain flashed across Xu Nian's narrow eyes, as if these people before him were nothing more than clowns. With a slight sway, he vanished from his spot like a ghost.
His movements were completely obscured.
The giant net, formed from congealed blood, hurtled towards the spot where Xu Nian had stood, but it missed its target. The blood net crashed heavily onto the hard ground with a deafening roar. With that roar, a massive crater was instantly created in the ground, its depth seemingly unfathomable and awe-inspiring.
At this moment, the old monsters of the Dao Integration stage of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect who were hiding in the shadows witnessed this scene and were all terrified, their hearts filled with horror.
It should be noted that this disaster trap they had meticulously set up was so effective that it could trap and kill even an ordinary peak Dao Integration expert. However, it had no effect on Xu Nian at this moment.
This setup took a lot of effort from everyone.
But never expected.
Xu Nian dodged it so easily.
This is absolutely mind-blowing!
Just as everyone was in shock, Xu Nian's figure suddenly reappeared.
This time, he appeared right in the center of the stone hall. His cold, star-like eyes slowly swept over the surroundings, and he coldly uttered a few words: "Come out, stop hiding like a rat."
As soon as he finished speaking, a whooshing sound was heard, and then several dark figures flashed out of the darkness.
Upon closer inspection, the newcomers were none other than the Dao Integration stage elders from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
None of them looked very good.
His face was gloomy.
They were all glaring fiercely at the man in front of them.
I wish I could kill him on the spot.
One of the old monsters, his face contorted with rage, roared first, "Xu Nian, how dare you slaughter disciples of my Ten Thousand Demons Sect! Today, we will tear you to pieces to vent our hatred!" With that, the old monster swung his arm, and a long sword shimmering with an eerie, blood-red light appeared out of thin air in his hand. He then gripped the hilt with both hands and slashed fiercely at Xu Nian with all his might. At the same time, the other old monsters, seeing this, dared not be negligent in the slightest. They unleashed their most powerful supernatural abilities and spells, and in an instant, various colored lights intertwined, sweeping towards Xu Nian like a surging torrent.
Faced with such a fierce attack, Xu Nian raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and said lightly, "Truly overestimating yourself!"
Xu Nian's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a cold and disdainful smile. He casually raised his right hand, and with a wave of his hand, a terrifying energy wave that sent chills down one's spine swept out like a surging tide.
A deafening roar resounded, as if the entire world trembled. The fierce attacks launched by those once arrogant and confident old monsters crumbled instantly before this powerful energy, as if made of paper. At the same time, their bodies were thrown far away by this terrifying force, like kites with broken strings, involuntarily spitting out mouthfuls of blood that formed horrifying streaks in the air.
However, Xu Nian's actions did not stop there. His figure flickered like a ghost, instantly teleporting to the front of one of the old monsters. Then, his face turned ashen, his eyes as cold as knives, and he uttered a low shout: "God-Destroying Finger!" As the words fell, he extended a finger, and a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from its tip, so brilliant that it was almost impossible to look directly at it. This golden light contained a terrifying power capable of destroying the world, as if it could easily tear apart even time and space.
"Ah!" The old monster targeted by Xu Nian didn't even have time to react before letting out a bloodcurdling scream. The golden light pierced through his body with lightning speed, instantly piercing him completely. Then, before everyone's eyes, the old monster's body rapidly turned into dust, vanishing without a trace.
Seeing this, the other old monsters gasped in unison, their faces filled with terror, their eyes revealing deep fear and despair. They never imagined that Xu Nian's strength was so unfathomable, far exceeding their expectations. At this moment, in their eyes, Xu Nian had become an invincible, god-like being. This powerful pressure instilled fear in them, completely robbing them of the courage to confront him.
However, Xu Nian ignored the fear of these old monsters and continued his offensive with unwavering resolve. He suddenly threw a punch, its force unparalleled, accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound. With this punch, the surrounding space trembled violently, rippling in visible waves. The terrifying force of the punch, like a towering mountain, pressed down heavily on the remaining old monsters with immense power.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Several more loud explosions followed, and the remaining monsters were killed and turned to ashes.

……
In the vast and boundless world of cultivation, there exists a place that strikes fear into the hearts of countless cultivators—the Profound Heaven Great Forest. This forest stretches for thousands of miles, its ancient trees towering into the clouds, their branches intertwined in a dense, verdant maze. Here, all sorts of ferocious beasts roam freely, and every step may conceal a deadly threat; it is a place fraught with peril and fraught with danger. However, for Xu Nian, with his unwavering will and extraordinary strength, the Profound Heaven Great Forest is merely a hurdle he must overcome on his path to the eighth Dao.
A soft shout rang out: "The Eighth Dao Essence, here I come!" Before the words were even finished, Xu Nian's figure vanished into the horizon like lightning, heading straight towards the Xuan Tian Great Forest like a shooting star.
When Xu Nian finally arrived at the Xuan Tian Great Forest, the scene before him was breathtaking. The trees were ancient and enormous, their trunks so thick that it would take dozens of people to encircle them, their canopies so vast they blocked out large swathes of the sky. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow. The air was thick with spiritual energy; a deep breath allowed him to feel the immense power coursing through his body, invigorating his spirit and filling him with a sense of peace and tranquility.
However, beneath this seemingly peaceful and serene surface, a sense of eeriness and gloom was faintly revealed. The dense spiritual energy seemed to conceal some terrifying existence, sending chills down one's spine. As soon as Xu Nian stepped into this forest, she immediately sensed an incredibly powerful sense of oppression coming from all directions, as heavy as Mount Tai crushing an egg.
"The spiritual energy here is indeed exceptionally rich, but at the same time, the hidden dangers are beyond imagination..." Xu Nian murmured to himself, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily.
Just then, the earth suddenly trembled violently, accompanied by muffled rumbling sounds. Xu Nian's heart tightened, and he quickly looked up. In the distance, dust billowed as a group of enormous, berserk beasts charged towards him at an astonishing speed. These beasts were all ferocious, with blood-red eyes, spewing scorching breath, and emanating an extremely violent aura. Clearly, they had completely lost their minds and were controlled by some mysterious and evil force.
"These bastards from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect are like a persistent, incurable disease, truly haunting us!" A chilling glint flashed in Xu Nian's eyes, as if it could freeze everything in the world. He slowly extended his right hand, seemingly casually making a light clench.
Just then, he uttered a low shout: "Seventh Dao Essence, open!" In an instant, a surging and incredibly powerful Dao Essence surged forth from Xu Nian's seemingly frail body like a flood bursting its banks, quickly coalescing and transforming into a dazzling golden light shield that completely enveloped his entire being.
Meanwhile, the ferocious beasts, already in a berserk state, opened their blood-red mouths, revealing sharp fangs, and brandished their gleaming claws, charging towards Xu Nian like a pack of hungry wolves, launching wave after wave of extremely fierce attacks. These beasts were as fast as lightning and possessed astonishing strength. Their sharp claws and teeth whistled through the air as they viciously slammed into the golden light barrier, producing deafening roars that echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
However, faced with such a fierce and violent attack, the golden light shield stood there steadily like an indestructible steel fortress, no matter how desperately the beasts rammed and tore at it, it remained unmoved, showing no sign of breaking or collapsing.
"Hmph! With your pathetic tricks, you dare to be so insolent in front of me? You're nothing but a bunch of clowns who don't know their own mortality!" Xu Nian's lips curled into a disdainful sneer. Then, he casually raised his left hand and waved it lightly forward.
With this wave of his hand, the golden light shield that had been enveloping him seemed to receive some kind of command, and suddenly expanded outward with lightning speed, instantly enveloping all the ferocious beasts around him.
The next moment, a series of earth-shattering explosions suddenly rang out: "Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Those ferocious beasts that were baring their fangs and waving their claws just moments before, now burst apart one after another under the powerful force of the golden light shield, turning into clouds of scarlet, dazzling blood mist that filled the air.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the dozens of ferocious beasts that had been numerous and menacing vanished without a trace, as if swept away by a gust of wind. Xu Nian moved like lightning, his attacks incredibly fierce, each move containing earth-shattering power. The ferocious beasts didn't even have time to let out a scream before they were reduced to ashes, leaving not even a trace behind.
The disciples of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, who had been secretly observing from the shadows, were utterly stunned and trembling upon witnessing this scene. Their mouths were agape, their faces filled with disbelief, as if they had seen the most terrifying sight in the world. One of them stammered, "This...how is this possible? How could he so easily wipe out so many berserk beasts in one fell swoop?" Another, his face deathly pale, exclaimed in obvious terror, "It's terrifying! Just how powerful is this guy?"
These berserk beasts are extremely ferocious and brutal; even encountering just one would be a major challenge for an ordinary cultivator, let alone facing dozens at once. Yet, Xu Nian slaughtered them all with ease, as if it were a trivial matter. Such strength was truly terrifying.
At this moment, another disciple of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect said in a trembling voice, "Xu Nian's strength is really getting stronger and stronger! We are no match for him, so let's get out of here quickly!" The others nodded in agreement, their hearts filled with deep fear of Xu Nian.
Xu Nian completely ignored the presence of these Wanmo Sect disciples, continuing his ascent deeper into the Xuan Tian Great Forest without stopping. Along the way, although he encountered several smaller threats, they were nothing more than a piece of cake for Xu Nian, whose strength had greatly increased. His hands flashed with light, his moves ever-changing, easily resolving all the crises.
As he ventured deeper, Xu Nian suddenly sensed a powerful fluctuation emanating from ahead. A thought struck him; he immediately realized that this was the source of the eighth Dao Essence he had been searching for. The thought of the immense power he was about to obtain filled Xu Nian's eyes with excitement, and he quickened his pace, eager to seize that opportunity that belonged to him.
