Chapter 1425
Chapter 1425 (Raw 1415):
Chu Yang was different from Xiao Chen. He focused on cultivating the Solar True Flame and had done so since childhood at the Sun Palace. Most of the Martial Techniques he practiced were also related to the Solar True Flame. After he advanced to Martial Emperor, his usage of the Solar True Flame also improved tremendously. Not only was Chu Yang's Solar True Flame stronger than Xiao Chen's, but his usage of it was also much better than Xiao Chen's.
It was no exaggeration to say that aside from the Cyclic Astral Lord, Chu Yang was the top user of the Solar True Flame.
Caught off guard, the Blood Demon Royal Palace's Wang Feng got burned by Chu Yang's Solar True Flame. Surviving it would be difficult. The flame even continued to burn the ashes on the ground, vaporizing the last traces of blood in them.
Wang Feng died a miserable death. Originally, he thought that he could trick Chu Yang. Who knew, he ended up tricked by Chu Yang instead.
The saying "too smart for one's own good" truly applied here. After he committed all sorts of atrocities in the Kunlun Realm, such an end was truly well deserved.
However, to Wang Feng's Dao Protector, this was a disaster, completely stunning him.
"You… You actually killed the Crown Scion. The Blood Demon Monarch will make sure you live a life worse than death!" the Dao Protector roared and charged at Chu Feng in a crazed state.
"Whoosh!"
A figure shielded Chu Yang. It was the Cyclic Astral Palace old man. That old man firmly blocked the attack and forced the Dao Protector back.
"The Blood Demon Monarch is not that capable. My Cyclic Astral Palace's Palace Master will welcome the Blood Demon at any time!" the old man said with an imposing aura as he shielded Chu Yang.
The Blood Demon Royal Hall's Dao Protector saw that this old man's cultivation was similar to his and immediately knew that killing Chu Yang would be impossible, so he quickly moved back.
A huge battle ignited instantly with an enormous dark mass of people charging over in the air with surging killing Qi.
Dust clouds roiled on the ground, a fierce aura surging through the clouds. The various outstanding talents of the Kunlun Realm prepared to deal with the remnants of the cornered Demon army in one fell swoop.
"Crown Scions, you should not linger here. Quickly leave."
The Demons of the Demon Royal Halls arranged themselves in six rings—three outer rings and three inner rings—to defend the Crown Scions of the Winged Demon Royal Hall and Fire Demon Royal Hall and ensure their safety.
After recovering their sight and looking in the distance, at Wang Feng, who was no more than ashes now, the two surviving Crown Scions felt fearful.
"People say that we Demons are ruthless and crafty. However, the outstanding talents of this Kunlun Realm are not inferior in that aspect!" Xuan Yan rubbed his eyes, which still hurt, feeling some fear.
Yi Xuan shook his head and said, "It's all over this time. If we had known, we would not have been so greedy."
The three Crown Scions each had their own trump cards and would have had no problem escaping this situation. However, they had still wanted to do something big before leaving. In the end, they were tricked instead.
The sounds of battle rang out. The Demons at the outermost ring had already started fighting the Kunlun Realm cultivators.
The huge advantage in numbers resulted in the utter defeat of this group of Demons, which sustained severe casualties. Furthermore, this was with the outstanding talents just watching coldly at the rear and not attacking yet.
The phrase "nowhere else to go" truly reflected the situation of the three Demon Royal Halls. The world was like a game of chess, completely unpredictable.
Back then, the three Demon Royal Halls teamed up to defeat the Water Moon Alliance. Now, the situation had reversed, and the one trapped was them.
The two Crown Scions watched as their subordinates were killed. They felt dissatisfied but could do nothing about it.
"Let's go, then. Our three Demon Royal Halls were here for reconnaissance. The worst-case scenario that we prepared for was a total wipeout of our troops. It was just that the early stages went too smoothly, and we forgot our purpose," Xuan Yan sighed.
Yi Xuan nodded and said, "However, it is fortunate that we already found the location of the Evil Shadow Sword, so we can be considered to have contributed."
After saying that, a talisman appeared in each of the two's hands. The talismans flashed with bright light. After the talismans were activated, dazzling and complicated formations appeared under their feet.
"Oh no! Those two are going to leave!" An Junxi said with a frown.
These two Crown Scions had killed many outstanding talents of the Tianwu Domain, even committed many atrocities. An Junxi was not satisfied with them leaving like that.
Shui Lingling was comparatively calm. "As Demon Royal Hall Crown Scions, they definitely have some trump cards for survival. If I'm not wrong, those should be Astral Talismans, which can send them directly to the Astral Battlefield."
Right now, the Astral Battlefield was the main camp of the Deep Abyss Demonic World's Demons in the Kunlun Realm. Upon reaching there, they would be practically safe.
"You want to leave? Not that easily!"
Chu Yang seemed to have expected this long ago. He leaped into the air, soaring high up and quickly forming hand seals with his hands.
"Great Sun Heavenly Might Imprint!"
Chu Yang's body gave off a bright light, burning with a piercing Solar True Flame. Instantly, his hair, clothes, and his entire body ignited.
Another bright sun appeared in the sky, shining with dazzling light.
This light was too bright, overwhelming the sunlight and scattering five thousand kilometers of clouds. The pitch-black universe, the Starry Heavens appeared spangled with millions of stars like bright pearls.
Immediately, everyone fell under an illusion—as if they could leap into the air and pluck the stars just by stretching out their hand.
"Oh no, he sealed the Starry Heavens!"
"It's over. Are we going to die here?"
The two Crown Scions were horrified to discover that their Astral Talismans did not work. Their surefire trump card failed.
"How strong! Exactly how does this Chu Yang cultivate? He probably can rival a Sovereign Martial Emperor!"
Many people could not help being startled when they saw this. They had heard that the Heavenly Starry Ocean's Chu Yang was ridiculously strong. The many Holy Scions of the Heavenly Starry Ocean all submitted to him, willing to have him as their leader.
Now that the crowd saw this for themselves, it was indeed as they had heard.
The earlier scene, when he killed Wang Feng, had an element of trickery. However, this time, he alone sealed the Starry Heavens without any trickery at all.
"Capture them alive!"
Immediately, the crowd's morale soared. Several outstanding talents even made a move for the sake of capturing the two Crown Scions alive.
"Crack! Crack!"
Just at this moment, the sound of the night sky cracking came from the sky. A patch of dark clouds covered the sky and sun and all the starlight. Snow fell to the ground, and the hot arid air quickly cooled down.
A figure tore through the dark clouds and descended from the sky. Then, amid the wind and snow, this figure flew toward the shining Chu Yang.
The flame coalesced, and Chu Yang returned to his original form. Before he could react, he clashed with this mysterious Demon.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The two quickly exchanged moves. With each exchange, loud reports resounded. The shock waves blasted out large pits in the vast ground, tossing rocks into the air.
The cultivators below fell into chaos as they tried to dodge.
This mysterious Demon attacked too quickly; the crowd could not go and help Chu Yang, only able to watch the two fight.
With every exchange, Chu Yang moved back a step. After ten moves, he had already retreated ten kilometers, losing all momentum.
"Solar True Flame, Limitless Sun Overhead!"
Chu Yang roared, and clumps of flames appeared everywhere in every direction, quickly gathering above his head.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Within a moment, a resplendent sun condensed above him, raising his aura back up.
However, this beautiful scene did not last long. The wind and snow gathered at the mysterious Demon's palm, and he threw a palm strike. The might of this palm suddenly shattered the sun that just formed, turning the sun into countless balls of fire falling to the ground.
This palm strike sent Chu Yang flying, causing him to vomit blood.
"We are saved. The Snow Demon Royal Hall's Crown Scion is here!"
Xuan Yan and Yi Xuan rejoiced when they saw the white-clad man in the sky.
"Since the Snow Demon Crown Scion is here, the people of the other Demon Royal Halls should be here as well." A concealed murderous intent flashed in Xuan Yan's eyes as he looked at the surrounding cultivators.
Indeed, it was as Xuan Yan said. When the clouds parted, many Demon warships appeared and landed in the surroundings. A dense mass of Demons flew out from the warships.
Then the Demons all took up positions in different directions, surrounding all the Kunlun Realm cultivators.
"Retreat!"
With even Chu Yang defeated, Shui Lingling made the decision on the spot. Together with An Junxi, she led the disciples of the Thunder and Lightning Palace and the Supreme Sky Sect to withdraw. Situ Gang held up the ice sculpture with his hands, following behind.
The ice sculpture was heavy and cold, making Situ Gang suffer a lot. Even if he wanted to run faster, he could not.
"Whoosh!"
Fourteen Demons descended from the sky, riding either ancient mutated beasts or war chariots as they landed beside Xuan Yan and Yi Xuan.
The fourteen Demons had strong auras and appeared unfathomable—far stronger than the Crown Scions of the Blood Demon Royal Hall, the Winged Demon Royal Hall, and the Fire Demon Royal Hall. A few of them appeared like a deep and vast ocean, so terrifying that the feeling they gave off was suffocating.
While Xuan Yan and Yi Xuan stood in the middle, they trembled somewhat in fear. Although they too were Crown Scions, they were far from comparable to these fourteen Crown Scions.
