Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1417: 761: Slaying Two Demons in Succession

Yet right after he adjusted his stance, a fierce tremor rocked Demon Rising Island, and a dense pillar of black light erupted from the earth, surging directly at the brilliant orb of light.

Clearly, the formidable foe hadn't shown itself yet, but the island's restrictions had activated prematurely.

As the black light pillar burst forth, endless streams of pitch-black demonic qi poured out from the island, resembling a gigantic creature stirring to life from its depths.

Wu Yue's expression twisted in shock, and he instantly turned into a streak of light, diving downward to try blocking the black light pillar.

However, prior to his arrival, a towering silhouette had already materialized abruptly before the pillar.

Zhao Sheng's features remained serene like still water, and he unleashed a punch crackling with thunder toward the pillar. A dazzling surge of lightning erupted, slamming into the black light pillar and pulverizing it entirely, while myriad strands of Purple Cloud Thunder Light permeated the emptiness, swiftly purging all the overflowing pitch-black demonic qi.

The weakened lightning surge kept pounding into the island's subsurface, easily obliterating every restriction.

Zhao Sheng pulled back his right fist, his form blurring as he returned to his prior spot.

Right then, turbulent demonic clouds billowed in the heart of the sky, plunging the heavens into rapid darkness as though dusk had arrived, and a enormous whirlpool formed ahead of him, swirling and gathering without pause, growing ever more suffocating and enigmatic.

The following instant, a enormous claw wreathed in demonic radiance extended from the whirlpool.

This claw was completely ebony, covered in tightly packed rhomboid scales, appearing utterly malevolent and horrifying. With a single clenching motion downward, the space fractured like fragile parchment, splitting into five shadowy claw scars stretching from the firmament to the ground.

As the claw lowered further, it expanded in size and ferocity, ultimately eclipsing the sky and blotting out the sun, rendering the tiny island beneath it all the more minuscule.

“Hmph, acting all enigmatic! Show yourself!”

Zhao Sheng bellowed in fury, lightning exploding around his frame, and a colossal dharma image with three heads and six arms manifested behind him, imposing like a mountain peak.

He thrust his fist upward, and the three-headed, six-armed dharma image lifted its limbs as well, forming fists and striking at the immense beast claw overhead.

A deafening boom that shook the earth resounded.

The fist's edge clashed violently with the beast claw, erupting in a blaze of light a thousandfold more intense than the sun, ripping apart the void across dozens of miles and unleashing a tempest of space and time.

The heaven-obscuring beast claw fragmented bit by bit, disintegrating into vast quantities of black demonic qi.

A piercing howl abruptly rang out from the vortex's core, as a blood-drenched beast limb hastily withdrew into the clouds.

“Think you can escape!”

Zhao Sheng's gaze gleamed with savage intensity, his body flickering as he positioned himself in front of the beast limb, seizing it with both hands and hauling it down with a force exceeding countless tons.

The gigantic whirlpool exploded outward, and a humanoid savage beast, armored head to toe in scales and towering a hundred feet, plummeted from the skies, its vicious visage brimming with killing intent as it charged at Zhao Sheng below.

Thunder light flickered in Zhao Sheng's eyes, his physique ballooning in size while his hands unleashed torrents of golden-purple lightning. The energy raced along the beast limb, enveloping the entire humanoid savage beast in moments, breaching its shielding demonic glow and invading its form, ravaging its internals with wild abandon.

In a flash, his frame grew to roughly ten zhang, the overwhelming presence it radiated altering the sky and land, making the void quiver!

Witnessing this, Wu Yue atop the Corpse Dissection Bag paled abruptly and came to a stark realization, muttering inwardly: “Sigh, who would have thought that ultimately, I'd be the feeblest of our trio!”

But even as this notion took hold, Zhao Sheng materialized, seemingly via instant translocation, over the humanoid savage beast's cranium, confronting the monstrous head that spanned half its bulk.

He grinned darkly, his right arm trailing sky-piercing thunder light as he hammered the head's brow, while the three-headed, six-armed dharma image at his back suddenly extended its six limbs, clamping the humanoid savage beast's torso firmly to halt any evasion. A radiant golden glow flared from deep within the crimson skeleton.

Within an instant, Zhao Sheng delivered hundreds of blows upon the humanoid savage beast, each one akin to a comet striking the earth, brimming with devastating might.

How could a simple Void Realm Demon Elder endure such a barrage? Boundless lightning erupted from its frame; its colossal body exploded in a heartbeat, annihilated by the electric fury.

At that juncture, Zhao Sheng reached out virtually with his right hand, thunder light gleaming in his grasp as he clutched a crystal the size of a fist, alien in nature. Inside, a shadowy black demon essence thrashed wildly yet failed to pierce the encircling thunder sheen—it was the demon soul of that Void Realm Demon Elder.

He glanced toward the celestial dome, his left hand sweeping at the sky. Innumerable bolts of thunder light burst forth abruptly, scattering every demonic cloud overhead. An immense expanse of supremacy radiated from Zhao Sheng at its core, expanding outward in waves.

“Boom boom boom”

Immediately, myriad demon puppets across the nearby ocean detonated successively, and certain abyssal mega-beasts were hit by the falling thunder, disintegrating on the spot, their carcasses reduced to heaps of charred remains weighing tons.

Zhao Sheng tucked away the alien crystal without fanfare, his form streaking like a bolt of lightning, and the three-headed, six-armed dharma image trailing him, resembling an unassailable Immortal of Colossal Spirit, demolished countless demon puppets in its path, while even the demon thought sub-bodies met swift ends, soon carpeting the sea with thick layers of mangled remains, the waters turning crimson.

Wu Yue, caught in the crushing weight of his aura, experienced a rare surge of helplessness in his chest for the first time in years.

Still, as a peer in the Returning to Void Realm, he wouldn't yield so easily, promptly channeling his full focus to direct his enslaved corpse fiends in a frenzied chase and massacre of the Alien Demon Clan stragglers fleeing afar.

Zhao Sheng drifted down gradually, the three-headed, six-armed dharma image behind him swelling to greater proportions and savagery, projecting a fearsome aura that blanketed the whole island and the encircling hundreds of miles of ocean.
