Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

A peak-stage Demon Thearch was comparable to a peak-stage Heaven Monarch; its power was incredible. Some peak-stage Demon Thearchs also had powerful demonic arts and were exceptionally deadly.

However, Jiang Yi was not afraid of these Demon Thearchs. After all, he had slaughtered peak-stage Heaven Monarchs as if killing pigs or dogs. Demon Thearchs were—after all—demons; their battle techniques were not as adaptable as humans. They also seemed to not know dao pattern attacks. Besides the fact that their demonic arts were more lethal—in other aspects, they were still slightly inferior to peak-stage Heaven Monarchs.

The human peak-stage Heaven Monarchs were also split into different ranks and tiers. Normal peak-stage Heaven Monarchs were at most three-star martial experts; peak-stage Heaven Monarchs who had realized powerful dao patterns could have powers that reached that of a five-star martial expert. As the Demon Thearchs did not know how to use dao pattern attacks, their power was naturally not as strong.

Clang-clang!

Jiang Yi’s flexible sword waved as streams of terrifying sonar waves were sent out. They were like tide after tide of ferocious waves. In a split-second, the three peak-stage Demon Thearchs were enveloped by the sonar waves. The powerful divine sonar rushed and attacked the soul spirits of the three Demon Thearchs while Jiang Yi’s Massacre Intent also surged forward and suppressed the trio.

Boom! Boom!

The avian in the sky fell down and flattened a patch of forest, smashing a few stone peaks into pieces, with rocks crashing down and pebbles falling down into the ravine. A huge echo could be heard.

Bang, bang, bang!

The Kui demonic beast and the silver centipede also started thrashing about in pain, creating a huge mess, and generating dust and smoke that covered the entire sky.

Tsk! Tsk!

Jiang Yi’s astral wind blades soared downwards, locking on to the three demonic beasts and attacking them furiously. The Demon Thearchs’ defenses were very strong but still not as strong as the protective barrier on the Heaven Fate Ships. However, when the astral wind blades slashed their bodies, the sound of metal grinding metal still rang out with sparks flickering as well. Accompanying the beasts’ agonizing cries were the three Demon Thearchs being cut into pieces, with fresh blood flying everywhere and muscles spattering about. A stench of blood also arose, making one want to puke.

“Eh… why don’t these Demon Thearchs have demon cores?”

Though he killed the three Demon Thearchs with ease, Jiang Yi did not feel that proud of himself. Instead, he looked suspiciously at the three dead corpses in front of him. Demonic beasts all had demon cores; these demon cores were valuable objects and could be used to produce elixirs and refine weapons; they could fetch a good price.

“The demonic beasts here all do not have demon cores.”

Yin Ruobing flew over and explained. “The last time we were very surprised by this, too. It is probable that these demonic beasts were made by the Mystic Thearch. They can never transform while their intellect was also inferior to demonic beasts outside. Of course, their battle strength was still not bad.”

“Oh, oh. Let’s go then!”

Jiang Yi nodded and led the way in front. There was no shortcut in the Evil Spirit Ridge; one could only kill his way out and, after conquering forty-nine mountains, reach the Wild Spirit Village. If it was simpler, Zhan Tianlei would have long broken through.

“Hu-hu! Chi-chi!”

A mere five kilometers of flying later, they encountered a huge python coming from the woods afar. This python was stained black and looked like a long steel whip. It did not have scales and also had many spikes on the back of its head. It was also a peak-stage Demon Thearch. Besides the python, there was also a deformed monster that was like a ball; its stomach, however, had a few dozen eyes. No one knew what creature it was.

“Kill—”

If a human blocked him, he would kill a human; if Buddha blocked him, he would kill Buddha… if a demon blocked him, he would kill a demon!

Jiang Yi brazenly attacked, using his Massacre Intent and Divine Sound Heaven Skill to suppress while using his astral wind blades and Rainbow Soul Spear to attack, killing his way forward.

On the other hand, Yin Ruobing wielded her God Shooter Bow and kept a lookout nervously. As she could not use her divine senses, she could only use her naked eyes. Though her eyesight was good, one’s eyes could only see that far. If a Demon Sovereign was to appear and launch a sneak attack, the consequences would be dire.

…

There were indeed Demon Sovereigns in this hellish-grade rank Evil Spirit Ridge. At this moment—on the other side of the Evil Spirit Ridge, one person was engaging in a furious battle with a Demon Sovereign!

This was an impressive-looking young man, wielding a long and narrow battle saber and wearing silver armor. His eyes were like lightning while his face was sharp like a knife. Every attack that he made caused a disturbance in the spatial zone and caused crevices to appear on the ground; rocks would crack and trees would fall. On the handle of his long and narrow battle saber were mysterious dragon patterns while the edge of his saber glowed faintly, sending forth saber aura waves. The battle saber’s aura was frightening, like that of a god!

Facing him in battle was a black panther. This panther was not physically big, but its speed was very fast; it was almost so fast that a normal Heaven Monarch would not even be able to see its shadow. The panther’s sharp claws were very long; every time it waved its claws, there would be splits in the spatial zone. Its body also emitted a ferocious and terrifying aura. If Jiang Yi and Yin Ruobing were in the vicinity, they would definitely be frightened beyond comparison.

This was because this aura was that of a Demon Sovereign—not even an ordinary Demon Sovereign at that!

“Ha, ha! Die, bastard!”

Zhan Tianlei furiously attacked dozen-odd times consecutively, his saber shadows filling the sky. The surrounding spatial zone had all been sliced by him. However, the panther’s speed was too fast; not even one of his attacks had hit it. This made him impatient and frustrated as even though he wielded such power, it wasn’t effective at all in this instant.

Zhan Tianlei had entered the Evil Spirit Ridge many days ago. He had also conquered forty-five mountain peaks in this place, killing an uncountable number of demonic beasts. He had thought that he could reach the Wild Spirit Village very quickly; he did not expect himself to have been dueling this panther for one day and one night. He had still not killed this Demon Sovereign and was now fighting a bitter battle.

“This cannot do. I have to pass this stage. I have to obtain the Mystic Divine Palace! Only once I obtain it will Ruobing look at me differently, will she marry me willingly… will she utterly submit to me!”

Zhan Tianlei roared out loudly, his mind filled with Yin Ruobing’s picturesque face. Before commencing to clear the stages, he had actually thought of asking Yin Ruobing to come along with him. However, Yin Ruobing had chosen to reject him and was rather cold to him with her words. Zhan Tianlei had a premonition; thus, he had resolutely chosen the hellish-grade rank. He wanted to prove himself to her—that only Zhan Tianlei was suited to be with Yin Ruobing.

“Ruobing, wait for me—wait for me to marry you! I will definitely make you the happiest bride in the entire Stellarsky Domain!”

Zhan Tianlei shouted again as his battle saber glowed brightly. A horrifying aura emanated from the battle saber, and his body started to gyrate, with the battle saber turning with him. He gathered the essence force in a five-kilometer radius and transformed the heaven and earth and the winds and clouds, stirring up a huge gale. The spatial zone around him had been split into a round crevice while the Demon Sovereign that was just about to leap at him started to show a sliver of fear and started to retreat swiftly.

“Wind-Cloud Ghost Slayer! Die, you panther!”

Zhan Tianlei roared again as he stopped turning all of a sudden; a huge saber aura wave surged forth from his battle saber. The strong winds were brought along by the saber and crazily converged within the saber aura wave. The Demon Sovereign panther’s body was restrained by the gale, and its speed dropped suddenly.

Boom!

The saber aura wave was too fast. It cut through the sky and sliced a huge fissure in the sky, heavily cutting the Demon Sovereign panther. Accompanying a huge explosive sound, the Demon Sovereign’s body was heavily cut down. The mountain ridge below it was also cut, forming a huge crevice that stretched ten thousand feet. The scene was terrifying. That slash by the saber was like an attack from a god; it could not be resisted, could not be matched.

“Pfff…”

Zhan Tianlei spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his body gave in as he fell unsteadily from mid-air. His battle saber stabbed into the ground as he tried to stabilize himself. He revealed a look of anguish from his blood-stained mouth, closed his eyes, and said, “Based on my current strength, using the Wind-Cloud Ghost Slayer seven-star dao pattern is still too much for me to handle.”

“Go!”

After resting for a mere five minutes, Zhan Tianlei rose up and flew towards the next mountain in the distance. He wiped the blood from his mouth mid-air and said, “Ruobing, wait for me. I will definitely bring the Mystic Divine Palace and marry you, definitely!”
