Chapter 432 - Nowhere to Hide
Yuming and Huanzhen finally realized that they had committed a huge mistake. They should have had the idea that they would be able to defeat Yanxu just like this. They had underestimated Yanxu's scariness. Huanzhen suddenly realized one thing, why did Shen Lian not ask him about things relevant to Sky Demon method? Shen Lian had most probably realized that Yanxu already surpassed Sky Demon method itself.
Yanxu was right. He was like a frog living at the bottom of the well. He thought that what came into his sight was already everything. In reality, the more you saw, the more you did not know. He thought that he already had a very good achievement that he was able to hide from Yanxu for a period of time. He even subconsciously thought that he would be able to defeat this terrifying character.
Until this moment, he realized that he was wrong.
Perhaps Yanxu could be defeated, but it would definitely not by him. He already understood this since long ago, but after Shen Lian helped him to eliminate the demon seed, it made him have such a thought again.
He had even involved his mentor in this.
He was instantly filled with frustration and guilt and he did not intend to abandon these distractions.
At this moment, Yuming pressed and held his shoulder without looking at him.
Just like whenever he committed any mistake when he was young, his dignified Yuming the Honored Celestial would never punish him. All he did was to press and hold his shoulder in order to give him the confidence to start all over again.
Huanzhen raised his head to face Yanxu and said, "you're definitely not without flaws, otherwise how would you be disturbed by the resonance?"
He quickly counterattacked Yanxu upon coming back to his senses.
Yanxu said, "if it wasn't for your body, why do I bother talking nonsense with you?" Huanzhen's words did not stir him up. He swiftly avoided the attack but it did not mean that the know in his heart was loosened. He might not even be able to loosen it, all he could do was to forget about it.
There were divine lights reflected from Yanxu's body, flowing like the running water and instantly filled the entire void. The divine lights had even wrapped Yuming and Huanzhen around.
Huanzhen was almost near to the state of celestialism, no less than when Shen Lian had not attained immortality. However, at this moment he could not even move at all.
Countless of spells burst around Yuming. In the end, his power was only limited to within inches from him. The divine lights were like water compressing on him. In fact, he looked like his body was already distorted.
This time, Yanxu had utilized his real power. With the perfect penetration without obstruction from the Sky Demon method, he put the two of them down by forming The District of Sky Demon that he had control over.
There was Yanxu in the void, but Yanxu also appeared in Yuming and Huanzhen's minds. His shadow was magnifying in their minds, suppressing the space that was originally occupied by their self-divine aura.
They would lose themselves when Yanxu's shadow-filled their minds.
This could be considered as a psychic battle, or more dangerous than that.
In fact, Yanxu was almost at an invincible position because he was very familiar with Huanzhen and Yuming's cultivation experience. Once attacked by the Sky Demon method, it found their weaknesses. This allowed the demonic spirit to find a gap that could be attacked. It surged into their minds like floods and thus Yanxu's shadow appeared in their minds.
To compare the state of reality, Yuming was almost same as Yanxu. However, his method of cultivation was not considered as top in the world. Thus, in this psychic battle, while facing Yanxu's demonic spirit, he was already inferior in the first place. He was even attracted by the mystery of Yanxu's demonic spirit which led to the deterioration of his self-divine aura.
If the other cultivators in this world had seen this sight, they would feel unbelievable because Yanxu alone could easily put down an experienced immortal Zhenren and a master who was about to attain immortality.
At this moment, the biggest regret for Yuming was that he should not have spent too much time on Lingxiao Palace, or else he would not have been embarrassed today.
It was no doubt that Lingxiao Palace's had mighty power, but it also made him neglect his energy. Or else since he attained immortality, he could have concentrated in cultivating The Qi of Xuanqing which would inevitably improve this method. Besides, he would also not be defeated at The District of Sky Demon that Yanxu formed.
Most of Yanxu's divine lights had already fallen on Huanzhen and Yuming's body, but his sight did not only consist the two of them, he was mostly looking at the other end of the sky.
There was a mountain peak which was not tall but neither was it short at where he was looking at. There was a woman whose shirt and skirt were all in light green and she was holding a frosty long sword. She was followed by a beautiful Daoist nun who was her maidservant.
He recognized the two of them. The one holding sword was Qingxiao whereas the maidservant was Lingguang from Guangqing.
There was nothing to be afraid of Lingguang, but he was fearful of Qingxiao.
He was waiting for Qingxiao's strike to destroy the galaxy. Sky Demon belonged to Yang, Qingxiao had also successfully trained The Everlasting Taiyin. He had always wanted to have a battle with her in order to see who was better.
However, now Qingxiao was way terrifying than before. She not only knew how to used her sword, but she also knew how to not strike.
With Qingxiao's personality, the only reason she could reach this stage was because she already got the essence of The Everlasting Taiyin. Thus, there was no way to break the everlasting complete of emptiness.
As long as Qingxiao did not strike, Yanxu would not be able to accurately judge her capability, he would be distracted anyhow.
However, she must strike in the end. But at that moment, it would definitely be Yanxu's weakest time which was also the most dangerous time for him.
He could avoid Shen Lian's Trial of Dao.
But if Qingxiao were to give him a strike to settle his karma, he would not be able to avoid it.
Through the ages, there were no land immortals who had more enemies than he had.
Yanxu was not frightened, instead, he found it interesting. He had a clear insight of the defect in his temperament; in his pursuit of life, he was also longing for death at the same time. Because he was a person filled with curiosity, it was normal for him to want to taste and experience the mystery of death.
At times like this, the clock seemed to tick very slowly. Lin Xuanting and Tianmeng fairy outside of Yanxu's The District of Sky Demon were battling from the ground to the sky.
He saw his struggling Senior Apprentice-Brother and Apprentice-Nephew were stuck in an unknown divine light in the void.
Lin Xuanting struck and made Tianmeng retreat. Then, he transformed into sword gleam and pierced through The District of Sky Demon with a thunder-like speed.
After all, the Thunder Technique was a nemesis of Sky Demon. Along the journey, Lin Xuanting was able to surmount all the obstacles easily with surging lightning. Huanzhen instantly felt relieved. At the same time, Yuming's face revealed a pleased smile.
Due to Lin Xuanting's thunder-like speed of sword gleam, Yanxu's Qi of Sky Demon weakened, his vital force was also gradually weakening.
At this moment, the distant horizon was filled with clear frost at a speed that was impossible to be captured using n.a.k.e.d eyes. The night was frozen, in the end, it started to come in contact with The District of Sky Demon. Not even a blink of an eye, there was a crystal clear sword gleam that jumped out. There were no changes but only cold and sharpness that approached Yanxu in order to kill him.
Huanzhen and Yuming got themselves out from the restrictions, Yuming shouted, "Junior Apprentice-Brother, let's do this together!"
Huanzhen's power of demonic god was like the boiling water. Surrounded by the green and yellow wings, it formed into a gigantic ball of Qi of Vitality. It was about to be thrown out any time to where Yanxu was located at.
The sword gleam that Lin Xuanting transformed into already entered The District of Sky Demon. Upon receiving Yuming's divine thoughts, the mighty power of Xuanting sword was about to erupt. However, the sword gleam that was formed from the integration of himself and the sword had no means of turning around to approach Yanxu. Instead, it was approaching Yuming and Huanzhen with a loud thunder sound.
Yuming was unable to respond in time, Huanzhen could not even understand what was happening right in front of him.
Yanxu could not avoid Qingxiao's sword gleam. Similarly, Yuming could not avoid Lin Xuanting's sword gleam.
