Chapter 308: The Immortal Severing Sword Strikes! The Heart Demon's Fall (Part 43)



Vibrant!

The array's power intensified.

The sense of isolation in this space became increasingly pronounced.

The Heart Demon's expression turned slightly solemn.

The four top-tier Celestial Immortals of the Human Race gathered.

Although he didn't believe these four could harm him, after all, he was different from ordinary demons and not easily dealt with by common means.

But under such a grand display, it couldn't be ruled out that the Human Race had prepared extensively to deal with him!

However, aside from Wu Qingping, what other means did the Human Race have to counter him?

The Heart Demon was somewhat perplexed.

Even Wu Qingping, after such a long time, hadn't caused him any significant harm.

Not to mention that at this moment, they were deeply entangled with the Seven Great Demon Deities, leaving them no time to interfere with the Human Race.

Could they be relying on that Human Immortal?

The Heart Demon's gaze momentarily glanced at the distant figure in golden-patterned dark robes.

If there was someone in the Human Race who posed a threat to him, aside from Wu Qingping, it should only be this person.

But although this Human Immortal had formidable talent, their cultivation level was too low, merely at the Human Immortal stage.

At most, they could eradicate this physical body, but they were far from capable of eradicating him!

As the master of the heart, he existed in numerous places and wasn't easily slain!

With this thought, he instantly calmed his mind.

The Heart Demon coldly smiled and scanned the four figures occupying the four directions, disdainfully saying, "If Wu Qingping doesn't come, no matter how many of you come, it won't be enough!"

Upon hearing this, the four figures didn't hesitate. They took a step forward and charged towards the Heart Demon.

"Let's see about that!"

Dongyang Xianjun coldly shouted.

He took a step forward, reached out, and grasped a long sword, then slashed downward.

Whoosh!

It was an ordinary-looking strike.

There was no dazzling, surging sword energy.

Yet, under this strike, the Heart Demon revealed an unprecedented solemnity.

His aura seemed to break free of its restraints and continued to grow rapidly.

Then, he took a step back into the void, evading the sword strike.

This time, he retreated more than a hundred li, and his figure directly appeared in the void.

But almost as soon as his figure appeared.

A bright moon instantly emerged above his head.

The chilling sword energy, which had been hanging above him for who knows how long, suddenly surged downward!

Then, a wooden sword and a jade staff appeared from the void and landed on the Heart Demon's head.

The four top-tier Celestial Immortals launched their attack!

The aura the Heart Demon exuded at this moment had already surpassed what it was when he fought Qin Zheng.

And as time passed.

It continued to grow stronger.

Qin Zheng calmly observed this scene.

The four top-tier Celestial Immortals' moves, each and every one, possessed power that was no weaker, and even surpassed the might of his current strongest attack!

In other words, even with the amplification of the Great Dao Leaf, his Immortal Slaying Sword Intent couldn't match a casual move from a top-tier Celestial Immortal!

No wonder they were the Human Race's strongest, the seven top-tier Celestial Immortals!

Such strength was far beyond what ordinary Celestial Immortals could compare to!

"Even if you kill this clone of mine, it won't have any impact on me!"

The Heart Demon suddenly roared.

Facing the encirclement of the four top-tier Celestial Immortals of the Human Race, his situation became increasingly dire.

And just as he finished roaring.

A jade staff broke through his defenses and headed straight for his head.

There was no escape!

The Heart Demon cursed inwardly and prepared to accept the destruction of this clone.

Then.

Bang!

A crisp collision sound rang out.

Qin Zheng's expression instantly turned solemn.

In his eyes, beneath that jade staff, the Heart Demon wasn't shattered, and one could even say he was unscathed!

A strike from a top-tier Celestial Immortal couldn't break the Heart Demon's defenses?!

Sharing the same confusion as Qin Zheng, the Heart Demon furrowed his brows and looked at the staff above his head.

He wasn't dead!

Neither this clone nor the part of his body parasitizing it had been shattered.

He immediately looked at the Hidden Mind Hermit who had swung the staff and coldly smiled, "I heard you were heavily injured in the Pingyang Valley battle, but I didn't expect you to recover to this extent."

The Hidden Mind Hermit lightly smiled and retracted the jade staff.

The Heart Demon's brows furrowed.

Then.

Bang!

A heavy, muffled sound reverberated through the void.

It was as if flesh and blood had exploded.

The Heart Demon remained intact, showing no signs of injury.

However, his expression turned extremely ugly, one could even say it was as dark as water!

"You've also reached that realm?!"

The Heart Demon spoke with a mix of disbelief and astonishment.

That previous strike hadn't shattered this clone, but it had destroyed another clone of his, located at a distant place, which was parasitized by a part of his body!

He prided himself as the master of the heart, and the Human Race called him the Heart Demon, a title that implied his ability to manipulate hearts and root demon nature.

In the Lingxu Realm, the most crucial aspect is that it's not a physical entity but a thought, a thought that needs to parasitize within the bodies of others!

When this thought further divides into a thousand paths, parasitizing a thousand bodies, no matter which body is destroyed or killed.

For him, it's merely a loss of one of his divided thoughts, a minor loss that doesn't threaten his life!

To completely annihilate him, one must eliminate all his divided bodies!

Not mentioning the strength of each body, just consider the distance between them, scattered across the four corners of the realm, in every corner of the Lingxu Realm!

Just finding them all would require a tremendous effort, let alone exterminating them all in a short time!

This is almost an impossible task!

Unless one ascends to a realm above the Celestial Immortals!

At that level, one can sense the connection between each of his divided bodies and transfer harm along these connections to the other bodies!

Therefore, in the Lingxu Realm, only the Ten Great Demon Deities and the Human Race's Absolute Immortal Sword have a chance to defeat him! This is why the Absolute Immortal Sword, when not restrained by the Demon Deities, dares not step into or even approach the Human Race's frontier.

Once any of his divided bodies are captured, there's a risk of his downfall!

But now, with the Absolute Immortal Sword restrained by the Demon Deities, he dares to descend upon the Human Race's frontier, leading to the current situation!

Are all these Humans about to ascend to the Celestial Immortal realm?

The Heart Demon starts to panic.

Vast Thought Ascetic lightly chuckles, not responding, but instead taking a step back.

A sword light, like a clear moon, suddenly sweeps down.

The Heart Demon's pupils constrict, and he instantly retreats frantically towards the rear!

Although, in his perception, these four have not reached the realm of the Demon Deities, unable to slay all his divided bodies with a single strike.

However, with the four taking turns to attack, each strike killing one body, over an extended period, it's enough to grind him to death here!

"All four of you appearing here, with the Human Race's frontier is left vulnerable. Aren't you afraid of the Ten Thousand Chariots Demon Nation taking advantage to invade?" The Heart Demon roars as he flees.

As he escapes to a certain boundary, a beam of light suddenly shines, blocking his path.

At the same moment, a cold voice resounds behind him, followed by a chilling sword light.

Swish!

The sword light shines brilliantly, blocking out the sun and moon!

In a distant place, there stands a majestic Black Mountain.

On the mountain's slope, there's a small courtyard.

In the courtyard's open space, a man sits, whittling a wooden stick.

The man appears ordinary, dressed simply, like a common farmer.

But upon closer inspection, one can see his eyes, as if containing the stars and the universe, incredibly profound!

His expression is intensely focused.

After a moment, wood shavings scatter beneath him, and in his hand, a wooden sword appears.

The wooden sword looks ordinary, with nothing unusual, but the man reveals a satisfied expression.

It's as if this seemingly plain wooden sword is the real treasure.

He slowly puts down the knife and gently grips the wooden sword's hilt.

Boom!

The moment he grasps the sword, the Black Mountain's surroundings erupt with howling winds, gathering dark clouds, and surging thunder, instantly resembling doomsday!

"Wu Qingping, what are you doing?!" a cold voice resounds above the mountain.

This voice is like a heavenly decree, locking the attention of the entire realm on the courtyard.

Wu Qingping's expression remains calm as he holds the wooden sword and slowly stands up.

Buzz!

As he rises, it's as if a divine sword has appeared, its terrifying sword energy soaring skyward!

Regardless of the doomsday scene, it instantly dissipates.

With this terrifying sword intent, the Black Mountain's surroundings instantly return to their previous peaceful state.

"Noisy!" Wu Qingping speaks calmly.

At the same time, he looks towards a figure a million miles away, a vigilant dark-faced man standing atop the Black Mountain.

He lightly waves the wooden sword in his hand.

Boom!

The ordinary wooden sword bursts with dazzling sword light, instantly transforming into an ultimate divine sword, unleashing a terrifying sword energy that shakes the heavens and the earth!

"Do you want to start a war?!"

Facing this sword energy, the dark-faced man's expression slightly condenses, and he speaks in a deep voice.

As he speaks, he takes a step forward, then raises his hand to form a fist, slamming it towards the sword energy.

Crack!

With this punch, the void splits.

The fist seal collides with the sword energy, creating a thunderous impact.

Boom!

The earth shakes, and the sun and moon dim!

This phenomenon continues for a moment before gradually dissipating.

The dark-faced man remains standing in midair, arms crossed, standing tall.

"Your sword is nothing special!" he says coldly.

In the courtyard, the man's expression was calm as he slowly spoke, "A minor punishment for a major offense."

Hearing this, the dark-faced man's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and his right hand, which was hidden behind him, was trembling uncontrollably.

Wu Qingping, truly formidable!

This thought flashed through the dark-faced man's mind.

As he thought of this, his expression grew even gloomier.

Even with the combined efforts of the Seven Great Demon Deities, they could only manage to trap their opponent in this location.

If they don't make further breakthroughs and their opponent continues to grow stronger, they might not be able to contain them!

Damn it!

Weren't the fortunes of the Human Race said to be depleted?

Why would there still be such an existence?

Even as a Demon Deity, the dark-faced man couldn't help but feel puzzled.

At this moment, in the courtyard, the man withdrew his gaze and turned his head towards a certain spot in the void.

"Showing yourself but hiding your true intentions."

He spoke calmly again, then raised his right hand that was holding the wooden sword and casually threw it.

Whoosh!

The wooden sword instantly transformed into a beam of light and pierced through the void.

Seeing this, the dark-faced man a million miles away wanted to intercept it.

But just then, a sword intent landed on his body.

His expression changed slightly, and he looked at the figure in the Qing Shan Courtyard, threatening, "Dare to make a move, do you want to start a great war?"

The man didn't respond, and after swinging his sword, he sat down again, picked up the firewood knife, took the wooden stick, and continued to carve the wooden sword.

Seeing this, anger flashed in the dark-faced man's eyes, but then he seemed to think of something and calmed down, coldly huffing, "A little Heart Demon, giving it to you is no big deal."

After speaking, he took a step and disappeared into the Black Mountain.

At the same time.

In the Human Race Frontier, within the Tian Yuan Realm.

The great battle continued.

Facing the siege of the Four Great Heaven Immortals, even though the Heart Demon's combat strength was not weak, he could only keep getting hit.

In the Heart Demon's perception, countless clones located in various places within the Spirit Ruins Realm were constantly being blasted apart.

But by now, his face no longer held the panic from the beginning, and instead, he became somewhat calm.

The combat strength of the Four Great Heaven Immortals was indeed formidable, and they could continuously annihilate his clones.

However, he had numerous clones, and as long as he kept dividing his thoughts, his clones would never be completely eradicated!

Now, with the invasion of the Ten Thousand Chariots Demon Nation, he didn't believe these four could stay here and annihilate all his clones before leaving!

If they did this, it would only push the Human Race into an even greater crisis!

Just as he was thinking this.

A sense of mortal danger suddenly erupted in his heart.

Before he could even think carefully, he realized where this mortal danger was coming from.

In the void before him, ripples appeared as if on the surface of water, and then a wooden sword emerged from the void.

In the instant he couldn't react, it pierced straight through his heart.

Then.

The Heart Demon's face instantly stiffened.

In the Lingyuan Realm, a casual cultivator who was leisurely cultivating suddenly exploded.

In the Xuanyuan Realm, an official wearing a dark robe and carrying a large knife at his waist died.

In the Tianxin Realm, one of the Nine Realms of Humanity.

Countless individuals of various identities and cultivation realms from the Human Race were constantly dying.

This change occurred not only in the Human Race Frontier but also in the Demon Race Frontier.

Under this sword, all the clones of the Heart Demon were rapidly vanishing at an astonishing speed.

Witnessing this, the Four Great Heaven Immortals also stopped their actions.

In everyone's perception, the aura of the Heart Demon was visibly declining at an alarming rate.

Qin Zheng, standing at a distance, watched this scene, and his heart stirred as he activated the Dao Seal.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the world in his eyes changed, and countless causal threads appeared before him.

Qin Zheng also turned his gaze towards the Heart Demon.

On the Heart Demon's body, countless causal threads were snapping at a visible rate.

In just a few breaths, only a few remained.

Finally, the Heart Demon's body began to dissipate, and his powerful aura vanished between heaven and earth.

The expressions of the Four Great Heaven Immortals also relaxed.

With the Heart Demon's demise, the Human Race had one less hidden threat! But Qin Zheng's expression remained unchanged.

The direction where the Heart Demon vanished still had one causal thread remaining.

And this thread was connected to him!

Just as he realized this situation, a thought suddenly emerged in his heart.

"After Wu Qingping, you are the second person in the Human Race with the potential to reach above the Celestial Immortal realm. I'll latch onto you, and let's see if they dare to do anything!"

The Heart Demon appeared, arrogant and defiant.

Qin Zheng's expression flickered slightly in surprise.

He hadn't expected this situation.

Then, in the midst of his silence.

The Primordial Heart Seal activated!

In his Inner World, a leaf from the Great Dao Tree fell.

A brilliant light, dazzling to the extreme, instantly illuminated his heart!
