The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Endless Blood War_1

Even with the protection of the silver flame armor, the Heavenly Demon Pei Yu was still unable to completely resist the imprisoning power of the Ghost Palm.

Its body immediately stiffened for a moment!

Although this paralysis was as brief as a snap of the fingers, Shen Mo still seized the opportunity.

A Starfall Sword Qi slashed towards it!

The next moment, the Heavenly Demon Pei Yu had recovered, but it was too late to defend against or dodge the brilliant Sword Light.

SHLICK!

The Sword Qi directly struck its chest and abdomen.

Half of the Sword Qi’s power was blocked by the silver flame armor on its body; the remaining half injured its demonic body.

The outermost layer of flesh was sliced open, yet not a single drop of fresh blood emerged. Instead, a strange, oily substance, like rusted lead and mercury, oozed out—the typical result of injuring a Heavenly Demon.

Its chest cavity was not filled with normal human organs. While they did have the appearance of organs, its heart, kidneys, intestines, and stomach differed greatly from those of humans.

Its stomach, in particular, was hideous and enormous, occupying a significant portion of its chest cavity and appearing utterly terrifying!

Shen Mo, who had slain many Heavenly Demons before, was naturally not astonished.

But Fairy Pei Yu’s appearance, combined with its Heavenly Demon core, created a contrast that still made him feel somewhat nauseous.

Actually, this isn’t hard to understand.

Even among earthly creatures, the physical makeup of humans versus birds and beasts is vastly different.

Let alone other creatures from the Heavenly Demon Realm!

This Heavenly Demon had been corrupting Fairy Pei Yu for nearly thirty years, and its demonic body had long since been altered beyond recognition.

Apart from the Qi Sea and Chakras—spiritual pathways essential for casting magic—there was no trace of human characteristics left within its body!

To better devour creatures and convert them into its own nutrients, the Heavenly Demon’s digestive organs had become incredibly gruesome and terrifying.

Compared to it, Shen Mo, with his three heads and six arms, seemed almost personable!

At that moment, Shen Mo had no time for further thought. The instant he injured it, his third pair of arms was already forming seals.

BOOM!

The Big Dipper Array descended with immense momentum.

Instantly, it trapped the Heavenly Demon Pei Yu within the Sword Prison!

Under Shen Mo’s manipulation, the seven miniature swords continuously altered their star positions, their power growing more formidable, and the Sword Light flooded the demon’s body like a surging sea.

However, this demon was, after all, a Third-order Heavenly Demon!

Even though it was enveloped by The Big Dipper Array, it still possessed the ability to resist the annihilating power of the Sword Qi.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

It transformed into a silver streak of light, continuously shattering the incoming Sword Qi with the silver flame spear in its hand, causing the Sword Array to tremble ceaselessly!

If even one of the seven Dao swords—Tianshu, Tianxuan, and the others—had not yet advanced to high-grade profound-level, it would have become a weak point, rendering the Sword Array unable to operate flawlessly...

Then the Heavenly Demon Pei Yu might have had a chance to break through the Sword Array and escape!

But now, all seven Dao swords were high-grade. The spirit gold materials used to forge each one were sufficient to craft a top-grade profound-level Flying Sword, showcasing their extraordinary quality.

Now that the Sword Array was established, its aura was interconnected as one, further enhanced by numerous boons including Shen Mo’s Sword Body Skill.

Despite the Heavenly Demon Pei Yu’s exceptional combat prowess, it still could not shake the mountain-like might of the array!

After trapping this demon head, Shen Mo consumed several Qi Condensation Pills to partially restore his mana. Then, wielding the Demon Slaying Sword, he charged towards the Wolf Heavenly Demon.

Class III creatures, whether cultivators, demonic beasts, Soul Ghosts, or Heavenly Demons...

None of them were easy to kill!

Especially the Heavenly Demon Pei Yu; it possessed numerous magic spells and cultivation methods from the Profound Moon School, giving it a wide array of techniques.

The Sword Array couldn’t kill it for the time being.

So, it’s better to set it aside, help Wei Ye and Jiang Sheng defeat the other two Third-order Heavenly Demons, and then come back to surround and kill this demon head!

”Damn you! You used to boast about how remarkable your Demon-corrupted body was, yet today you’re so incompetent!” the Wolf Heavenly Demon cursed angrily when it saw Shen Mo charging at it. ”A mere Qi Gathering Realm cultivator couldn’t even kill it, and it still got trapped! Such a useless creature, what’s the point of it even being alive!”

This Demon-corrupted, wolf-shaped demonic beast didn’t have many fighting methods.

After all, most demonic beasts relied heavily on their extraordinarily powerful demonic bodies and their Innate Divine Abilities.

Even if they learned magic from human cultivators, their different physical structures and cultivation methods prevented them from unleashing the full power of the magic.

Therefore, when the Wolf Heavenly Demon fought Jiang Sheng, it mostly relied on its sharp teeth and claws for tearing, along with brutal charges.

Its fighting style hadn’t changed much from that of a Native Heaven Demon.

Occasionally, it would spit globes of scorching gas from its mouth!

Even though the Wolf Demon’s techniques weren’t fancy, each of its movements contained immense power.

Jiang Sheng, the Sect Master of the Thriving Gold Sect, fought it with a sky-lifting giant hand. Yet, the Wolf Heavenly Demon was able to tear apart the powerful hand with its claws, forcing Jiang Sheng to continuously infuse mana to reform the giant hand for combat.

Moreover, the globes of scorching gas it spat from its mouth possessed frighteningly high temperatures. They burned several large holes in Jiang Sheng’s high-quality magic robe, significantly reducing its defensive capabilities!

It must be an Innate Divine Ability of its original form.

Not only that, but this Wolf Demon was also incredibly fast. With a mere push of its four claws against the air, it would vanish, leaving only a blur of afterimages.

In this way, Jiang Sheng was forced into a rather pitiful state!

Shen Mo chose to assist Jiang Sheng because he saw he was at a disadvantage and wanted to prevent him from being slain by the Wolf Demon.

”I’ve made a fool of myself in front of Fellow Daoist Shen!” Jiang Sheng, the Sect Master of the Thriving Gold Sect, said with an embarrassed expression upon seeing Shen Mo come to his aid.

Shen Mo was only a late-stage Qi Gathering Realm cultivator, yet he had managed to trap a Heavenly Demon within a powerful Sword Array. In contrast, he, a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator, was being beaten by the Wolf Heavenly Demon and could barely hold his ground.

”The Thriving Gold Sect excels in commerce; it’s quite normal for fellow daoist not to be skilled in combat!” Shen Mo casually remarked, giving Jiang Sheng a way to save face.

Shen Mo raised the Demon Slaying Sword high. As it descended, the Blade Net sword style from the All-Encompassing Sword Canon swept mightily towards the Wolf Heavenly Demon.

This demon was elusive, its escape speed extremely fast; other sword styles would have difficulty striking it!

Only the Blade Net, with its Sword Qi forming a vast, net-like attack, could ensnare it in a single strike.

”Damn it!”

The Wolf Heavenly Demon, unable to escape, felt the fur on its body bristle like sharp spikes. As Demonic Qi surged, this fur transformed into a peculiar armor.

CLANG!

CLANG! CLANG!

Amidst the sounds of metallic collisions, the Blade Net severed thousands of the bristle-like hairs on the Wolf Heavenly Demon’s body.

The next moment, the demon fiercely stomped on the air. When it reappeared, it was already lunging at Shen Mo’s throat with its gaping maw.

All three of Shen Mo’s heads roared in unison, ”You’re courting death!”

His first pair of arms moved; one hand held the Demon Slaying Sword, while the other slapped his Universe Bag at his waist.

His third pair of arms needed to maintain the seals, keeping the Sword Array at maximum power to continue suppressing the Heavenly Demon Pei Yu.

But his second pair of arms was unimpeded. They shot up instantly, one hand clamping the upper jaw and the other the lower jaw of the attacking Wolf Demon!

Huh?

A trace of disbelief flickered in the Wolf Heavenly Demon’s eyes.

When it tore at human cultivators, it wasn’t that none had managed to grab its jaws. But this Demon-corrupted beast was no ordinary creature; the force of its bite was more terrifying than the shearing of a scissor-like magic artifact.

It could bite even a small mountain in two.

Almost no cultivator could resist its biting force with their bare hands alone.

However, this young cultivator before it seemed unremarkable. Yet, his vitality was so unbelievably strong that once its jaws were clamped, it couldn’t budge them in the slightest!

BOOM!

A ball of gas, even hotter than Earthly Fire, erupted from the Wolf Demon’s mouth, instantly blasting the spot an inch below Shen Mo’s throat.
