Chapter 569: Chapter 569: The Final Battle (Six)
Half a quarter of an hour passed, and Xia Jiuyou’s cultivation had soared to the sixth level of the Palace Mansion Realm!
At this moment, Xia Jiuyou was shrouded in sky-high Demonic Qi, with a terrifyingly bloody smell converging around him.
His eyes were blood-red, resembling a true demon!
Feeling the surging Spiritual Power within his body, Xia Jiuyou’s aura erupted with a sky-shaking murderous intent!
"Ling Chen, die for me!"
Xia Jiuyou roared.
His voice was cold and piercing, as if it came from the ninth abyss.
Now that he had advanced to the sixth level of the Palace Mansion Realm, he was a full five stages higher than Ling Chen!
Although he didn’t know by what means Ling Chen had boosted his Spiritual Power to level similar to his previous self.
But now, with such Spiritual Power, he was enough to obliterate Ling Chen!
He originally planned to torture Ling Chen to death.
However, with the exposure of his identity as a Demon Cultivator, that was no longer possible.
Therefore, he could only kill Ling Chen on the spot to avenge Xia Biluo!
Seeing Xia Jiuyou intending to take action against Ling Chen, Ye Fentian was naturally extremely anxious.
Li Xuan immediately made his move, rushing towards Ling Chen.
Regardless of Ling Chen’s identity or the Emperor’s Inheritance, they could not allow Ling Chen to die now!
"Whoosh!"
Li Xuan appeared in front of Ling Chen almost the instant he moved.
As a high-ranking king in the Palace Mansion Realm, his speed was indeed terribly fast, incomparable to Xia Jiuyou and Ling Chen.
Now, the Demon Sacrifice Ceremony was still underway.
He was unable to attack Xia Jiuyou directly and could only prepare to intercept Xia Jiuyou’s attack and escort Ling Chen away.
"Go!"
Li Xuan reached out to grab Ling Chen, intending to take him away from the place.
The reason he was powerless against Xia Jiuyou was precisely because of the existence of the Demon Sacrifice Ceremony.
Watching Li Xuan’s actions, Xia Jiuyou’s face showed no worry at all and did not even mean to make a move, allowing Li Xuan to rescue Ling Chen.
"Huh?"
Li Xuan’s hand grabbed onto Ling Chen, but it was as if Ling Chen had also turned into nothingness, and his hand passed right through Ling Chen.
"What?"
Ye Fentian was shocked.
"How is this possible?"
Ji Wuya and the others were also full of disbelief.
How could this formidable figure be helpless against Xia Jiuyou’s Demonic Path techniques?
"Chen Er..."
Ling Tianxing’s eyes reddened, and tears slid down.
If it weren’t for him, how would Ling Chen confront Xia Jiuyou?
He wouldn’t have ended up in this situation!
"Brother!"
Ling Wu wept like rain.
She let go of Ling Tianxing and rushed towards Ling Chen.
However, her situation was no different from Li Xuan’s.
It was as if Ling Chen and she were in two different worlds.
Seeing this scene, a knowing smile appeared on Xia Jiuyou’s face. He looked at Ye Fentian and sneered: "The methods of us true demons, are they something that your kind can resolve?"
The secret technique he used was called the True Demon Realm.
As the name implies, this technique can divide the space into two different worlds.
You can see, but you cannot touch!
Of course, this kind of method is also time-limited.
It is generally only used during the Demon Sacrifice Ceremony to create a barrier to prevent others from interfering.
Once the Demon Sacrifice Ceremony ends, the True Demon Realm will immediately collapse.
This is also why he had to take action against Ling Chen while the Demon Sacrifice Ceremony was still ongoing.
You must know, the Demon Sacrifice Ceremony uses the lives and Spiritual Power of hundreds of thousands of Cultivators; a true demon naturally will not allow outsiders to interrupt it lightly.
That’s why such a secret technique was created.
Watching this, Ling Chen also had a solemn face.
Even the people from the Burning Flame Sect of the Eastern Domain of East Qing Province, the domain master, are helpless against such methods. One can imagine how great the danger he is facing this time!
Now, he probably could only rely on himself.
"Ling Chen, you think you’re so incredible? Now, let this demon see what tricks you have up your sleeve to withstand my attack!"
Xia Jiuyou’s voice was incomparably cold and sinister.
"Hmph!"
Ling Chen snorted coldly, a Green Lotus Sword Qi bursting forth from the black longsword—the Chongxuan Sword in his hand—slicing towards Xia Jiuyou.
"Child’s play!"
A black Spiritual Power palm materialized in front of Xia Jiuyou, casually grasping the Green Lotus Sword Qi and effortlessly crushing it!
"It seems he doesn’t dare to completely ignore my attack!"
A hint of joy flashed through Ling Chen’s heart.
If his attack were ineffective against Xia Jiuyou, just like Li Xuan’s, then he truly might not have any means to counter, and he would have no choice but to desperately flee.
However, that didn’t seem to be the case from the trial just now.
With this turn of events, he felt he still had some assurance of handling the situation.
Although Xia Jiuyou’s cultivation had advanced by two more levels, it was not without countermeasures.
His trump card had yet to be fully revealed!
Indeed, just as Ling Chen had guessed.
This True Demon Realm formed a region, one that was nothingness to the outside world.
But to those within this region, there was no difference.
After all, both of them were within the same boundary.
"Ling Chen, you thief, prepare your head for this demon to collect!"
Xia Jiuyou’s icy voice rang out.
"Thinking you can kill me? You’re not worthy!"
Ling Chen laughed coldly.
Ye Fentian and others naturally noticed Ling Chen’s actions.
They understood that Ling Chen should be capable of inflicting damage on Xia Jiuyou.
But the Xia Jiuyou of now was no longer the same as before.
With the cultivation of the sixth level of the Palace Mansion Realm, he was powerful enough to sweep across the Great Xia Dynasty.
They did not know where Ling Chen’s confidence stemmed from!
"Arrogant!"
Xia Jiuyou spoke with an air of invincibility: "You’ll never shed a tear until you see your coffin—I’ll send you on your way right now!"
"Nether Flame Diancang Slash!"
Xia Jiuyou exploded with a shout.
Black Spiritual Power roared frenziedly outwards, surging into the longsword in his hand!
A terrifying Sword Qi, two hundred zhang long, burst forth.
Using the cultivation of the sixth level of the Palace Mansion Realm to execute a low-grade King Spirit Technique, its power was naturally extremely frightening, incomparable to any previous attacks!
While Xia Jiuyou was employing the King Spirit Technique, Ling Chen was not idle.
"Whiz whiz whiz..."
Nine strands of Green Lotus Sword Qi shot out from the Sword Qi River in his Dantian, entering Ling Chen’s Chongxuan Sword one by one.
Then, after being amplified by the King Spiritual Weapon, nine strands of Green Lotus Sword Qi swirled before Ling Chen.
"Green Lotus Blossoms!"
Ling Chen shouted internally. The nine strands of Green Lotus Sword Qi instantly began to shatter, turning into thousands of fine strands of Sword Qi in the blink of an eye.
Then those thousands of fine Sword Qi strands began to intertwine.
Soon, a beautifully crafted green lotus made of Sword Qi materialized before everyone’s eyes.
This exquisite Green Lotus was only palm-sized.
But it emitted an astonishing fluctuation!
"What is this..."
"Mid-grade King Spirit Technique!"
Ye Fentian and Li Xuan exclaimed in shock.
Awe filled their eyes.
Who could have imagined that someone who had just advanced to the Palace Mansion Realm could cast a mid-grade King Spirit Technique?
Wasn’t this insight far too terrifying?
"What? A mid-grade King Spirit Technique?"
Hearing the shock in their voices, the watching cultivators were so astonished their eyes nearly popped out!
"No, no, this is impossible! How can you possess a mid-grade King Spirit Technique?"
Xia Jiuyou roared in disbelief.
He was at the third level of the Palace Mansion Realm and had not mastered a mid-grade King Spirit Technique!
How could someone at the first level of the Palace Mansion Realm manage to execute it?
