Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1408: 756: Annihilating the Demon Horde, One Finger of the Tribulation Demon (Part 2)

In an instant, the Extermination Immortal Array that they had set up was shattered into fragments by that monstrous entity, while the Demon Corpse Commander serving as the array's core got wiped out by one devastating punch, completely eradicated!

“Hurry, run away! If we manage to survive and escape, we have to report this to the Emperor right away. The Human Clan has birthed yet another prodigy defying the heavens. We absolutely cannot allow this individual to keep advancing!” A panicked Void Realm Demon Elder bolted in fear, overwhelmed by terror.

Yet, it failed to detect a massive silhouette materializing soundlessly right overhead without warning.

Only when the demon elder picked up on a dreadfully intense aura above, fiercer than a blazing sun, did its final awareness catch sight of a gleaming golden hand crashing down abruptly.

Bang!

A Void Realm Demon Elder, on par with a Half-Immortal of the Void, got pulverized by that single strike, its demon soul crumbling under the sheer brutality, reduced to dust and vapor!

Having slapped a Void Realm Demon Elder aside like an insignificant pest, Zhao Sheng swiftly employed Space-Time Teleportation to position himself over yet another Demon Elder, delivering another crushing palm strike.

Regardless of how the foe thrashed or battled desperately, it couldn't endure this palm and perished on the spot, denied any opportunity to fight back.

In this manner, Zhao Sheng rapidly overtook the escaping Void Realm Demon Elders, with not a single one surviving even one of his strikes!

With the eighteen-zhang Ruyi Golden Body invoked, Zhao Sheng's might had surged to such heights that he himself couldn't gauge his full power.

At present, the space around him felt exceedingly brittle, so delicate that the slightest motion threatened to tear through the barriers of space-time.

Should he accidentally exert excessive “force,” he risked tumbling back into the starry sky of the current era.

To him now, the divide between the Void Realm and the present world resembled a flimsy layer of paper, easily breached by a simple notion.

Sigh~

As golden radiance banished the shadows, Zhao Sheng focused his mind,

extending his will field outward, promptly gathering assorted alien crystals of various dimensions, all boasting more than 512 sides.

Zhao Sheng offhandedly tucked nine alien crystals into the Sumeru Space, preparing to retract the Dharma Golden Body!

The very next instant, his expression shifted dramatically, his robust arms snapping up to shield his head, while brilliant thunderous glow erupted, weaving multiple layers of the Thunder Domain and erecting a threefold “barrier” alongside Divine Thought and Will Field.

“Who has the audacity to strike and kill my demon descendants!”

A majestic demonic voice, carrying the weight of divine fury, boomed across the void abruptly, causing the Dark Sky to appear as if it were crumbling, with the immense obscurity abruptly compressing into a lone “black hole.”

Beyond the “black hole,” a circle of crimson glow emerged suddenly, like a bloodshot eye devoid of emotion or pity, as though some inconceivable being gazed through a slim crevice, surveying the minuscule insects beneath.

The circumstances shifted with astonishing swiftness!

Zhao Sheng, who had previously dispatched multiple Void Realm Demon Elders with ease, now dwindled to the status of a trivial “ant.”

A deep-seated dread welled up within Zhao Sheng's core, signaling an impending disaster about to strike him!

This unidentified entity exuded such horror that it could snuff out his primordial spirit with just a whim!

Cave Void Demon Emperor?

No way, this level points to at least a Tribulation Realm Demon Venerable!

“Hm? It turns out no one violated an oath to intervene!… A heaven-defying prodigy? Perish!”

Zhao Sheng's spirit quaked; the commanding demonic voice bypassed every safeguard, surging straight into the Purple Mansion Soul Sea and rattling his Primordial Spirit until it teetered on collapse.

As the command “perish” rang out, Zhao Sheng's Divine Soul almost fractured, a wave of mortality crashing into his heart and nearly pushing him to insanity.

All at once, a subtle crimson gleam dropped from a remote space-time, morphing into a torrent of blood that overwhelmed the Dark Sky, swallowing the flailing golden colossus.

The blood torrent shattered the space-time divide in a flash, flooding into the starry sky of the now, then ballooning a thousand times over into an endless Blood Sea, vaporizing Planet No. 2 and the encircling hundreds of thousands of miles of emptiness instantly.

Right as the enigmatic Tribulation Demon sought to verify Zhao Sheng's identity, a wrathful bellow erupted from a far-off space-time, trailed by a brilliant sword gleam that sliced through the third stratum of the Void Realm.

“Luo Ye, how dare you violate the oath and assault a human cultivator from a lower realm! Shameless, face my blade!”

“Yang Jian, you little upstart, even if I acted, what could you possibly do about it?”

With the voice resounding, the crimson eye flickered out of sight, along with its actual form, vanishing via teleportation to an unknown location!

The brilliant sword gleam breached the third layer of the Void Sky yet arrived a beat too slow, missing its mark on the Tribulation Demon.

Hmph!

A disdainful huff originated from the core of Near Heaven, followed by a staggering spectacle where the brilliant sword gleam divided into a pair, promptly cleaving the Blood Sea and bisecting two Demon Stars into quarters.

Afterward, the brilliant sword gleam arced back and disappeared tracelessly in the wink of an eye.

The Blood Sea exploded in fragments, the lingering crimson glow scattering over half a galaxy before gradually fading away under the sway of the Taoist Law.

Once the galaxy settled back to calm, almost a third of the substance from Planet No. 2 and Planet No. 1 had evaporated, their outer shells transformed into a scarlet magma ocean, the exterior seething with noxious black fumes as it swiftly solidified.

Puff!

At this juncture, from the depths of Earth’s Core, a withered humanoid skeleton abruptly emerged from the Magma Sea, its skeletal frame radiating sinister blood glow while gleaming with striking golden and purple luster, the sockets in its cranium sparking with cunning, fearsome intelligence.

Fresh layers of tissue sprouts and veins kept budding across the bone surface, plainly developing solid meat and vital organs.

Zhao Sheng, juggling tasks amid the agony buried in his soul sea, methodically cleansed the lingering demonic essence and spurred the reformation of sinews and the five organs.

It required a solid four hours until he mostly reconstructed a full physique, despite lingering traces of bizarre demonic force inside.

Sigh!

Within the seaside cavern, the bare Zhao Sheng abruptly released a putrid, murky blood exhale, his skin erupting in a pristine, watery thunder sheen.

Having barely endured this ordeal, his Primordial Spirit integrated more seamlessly with every Primordial Cell, his Mana and Original Spirit on the brink of total fusion, barely separable.

His cultivation surged forward dramatically, vaulting from the Returning to Void Seventh Layer straight to the mid Eighth Layer in a single bound.

This advancement far exceeded what he had anticipated!

Only now did Zhao Sheng grasp the proper method for progressing in the Returning to Void Realm, comprehending that simple seclusion for training alone wouldn't suffice to reach the Unification Realm. True insight into the Dao, grasping one's authentic essence, stands as the only legitimate route to transcendence!

A few days afterward, Zhao Sheng ventured far into the Earth’s Core, ultimately locating Ji Tiandu, Hundred Birds Taoist, and several companions concealed inside B2 Virtual Realm Fortress.

Thanks to the dense crustal layer protecting them, they fortunately dodged the disaster with grave wounds but no fatalities.

…

…

At this moment, from the depths of Earth’s Core, a decrepit humanoid skeleton suddenly crawled out from the Magma Sea, its entire body of bones emitting foul blood light while shining with dazzling golden and purple radiance, the eyes on its skull flashing with intelligent, terrifying brilliance.

The surface of the bones continuously sprouted layers of flesh buds and blood vessels, visibly growing substantial flesh and internal organs.

Zhao Sheng, multitasking, suppressed the excruciating pain deep in the soul sea, carefully purged the remaining demonic power, and catalyzed the regrowth of muscles and the five viscera.

It took a full four hours before he largely regrew a complete body, though considerable weird demonic power remained within.
