Chapter 495: Thousand Mile Heaven-Striking Palm
Chapter 495: Thousand Mile Heaven-Striking Palm
The power of the demonized beast of burden's attack shocked everyone present.
Xia Hou Yan was a formidable Six Viscera Realm expert, possessing a mystic weapon, and even a Seventh-Rank Demon King would struggle to seriously injure him with a single blow. However, after the beast's demonic transformation, its strength had clearly surpassed the grandmaster threshold and reached the level of a typical grandmaster. This was a realm that the Six Viscera Realm could not achieve!
"Roar!"
After knocking Xia Hou Yan away with a single attack, the demonized beast of burden didn't flee but instead fixed its pitch-black, chaotic, and frenzied demon eyes on Kang Na Wu and Liang Xiao.
Kang Na Wu and Liang Xiao both tensed up, feeling an overwhelming sense of danger. At this moment, they didn't dare turn and run, as the demonized beast's speed far exceeded theirs, and turning to flee would expose their weakness.
Swish!
The demonized beast of burden flickered and appeared in front of Kang Na Wu, its massive, thick tail lashing out. The tail was covered in black and red demonic patterns, and as it swung, it drew the air with a buzzing sound, and the black and red light, infused with demonic power, spread along the patterns, exuding a terrifying, overwhelming force.
Kang Na Wu was on high alert, but facing this attack head-on, he still felt his bones chill, and he swung his knife with all his might.
At the same time, Liang Xiao, standing shoulder to shoulder with Kang Na Wu, swung his spear, unleashing a spear beam that collided with Kang Na Wu's knife and the beast's tail.
Boom!!!
The combined power of their knife and spear was extraordinary, but it couldn't withstand the tail's attack for more than an instant before being crushed. The knife and spear beams exploded.
Kang Na Wu and Liang Xiao were sent flying backward like two bags, landing on a distant sand dune over a hundred zhang away, smashing it into a heap.
"Brother Kang! Brother Liang!"
Chen Yue held the Azure Swift Sword, her expression changing as she watched Xia Hou Yan, Kang Na Wu, and Liang Xiao being knocked away by the demonized beast of burden. A glint of shock flashed in her eyes, but she wasn't afraid.
Although the demonized beast's methods were terrifying, and its aura was still growing, it was far from the Blood Replacement Realm. She wasn't yet a grandmaster, but grandmaster techniques didn't scare her. She had more than one life-saving method to deal with grandmasters, and she even had the Heaven and Earth Stone that Chen Mu had refined for her, which could withstand the Blood Replacement Realm.
Xia Hou Yan, Kang Na Wu, and Liang Xiao being knocked away by the demonized beast of burden happened in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the demonized beast about to continue its attack on Xia Hou Yan and the others, Chen Yue's eyes narrowed, and her mind flashed with a single thought. Without hesitation, she charged forward, her sword flashing towards the demonized beast!
Xia Hou Yan and the others weren't a match for the demonized beast, and they would be heavily injured by its first attack. She knew she couldn't handle it either, but at this moment, she couldn't abandon them and flee alone.
Moreover, she had some tricks up her sleeve and wasn't afraid of this demonized beast of burden.
"Roar!"
The demonized beast, which had been about to continue its attack on Kang Na Wu and the others, suddenly turned its chaotic, vicious, and frenzied gaze towards Chen Yue after being struck by her sword beam. It let out a crazed roar and lunged at Chen Yue.
This time, its entire massive body leaped high into the air, like a mountain crashing towards Chen Yue. The force of this collision seemed even more powerful than the one that had knocked Xia Hou Yan away, as if it could shatter Chen Yue's tiny body with a single blow!
At this moment, Chen Yue felt an intense threat, a suffocating sense of oppression. She had witnessed various methods, even seen Chen Mu demonstrate the Eight Aspects of Heaven and Earth, which were far superior to this collision, but those methods hadn't threatened her, nor did they carry any murderous intent.
But now, facing a demon king-level demonized beast of burden, its chaotic, violent, and murderous attack was truly life-threatening! Even with her many life-saving methods, she knew this collision wouldn't harm her, but the intense pressure still overwhelmed her. This wasn't just the demon king's oppression; it was the demon's invasion of the beast of burden, giving it a hint of ancient power that directly assaulted her mind!
Confusion, despair... all kinds of negative emotions seemed to be awakened and stirred.
Just as Chen Yue was about to be overwhelmed by these emotions, her sword almost too heavy to lift, and her resistance as weak as a flickering candle about to be snuffed out, a figure suddenly appeared in her mind.
It was Chen Mu, and in that instant, her world expanded.
The demonic thoughts that had surged in her heart suddenly calmed, and all the chaotic emotions were dispelled. Chen Yue's eyes revealed a deep tranquility and calmness as she stared at the attacking demon.
Buzz!
She slightly raised her palm, and a seven-colored glowing mystic jade appeared, releasing a dazzling brilliance as if awakened, exuding a majestic and boundless aura.
"Roar..."
The charging demonized beast of burden also sensed this spreading energy and felt a strong crisis. Its demonic power surged even more violently, trying to kill Chen Yue before any change could occur.
However, as this collision, almost reaching the level of a top grandmaster with its surging demonic aura, reached Chen Yue and collided with the thin light screen emanating from the seven-colored mystic jade, it was like crashing into an unshakable mountain!
Boom!!!
A deep, muffled boom reverberated.
The massive body of the demonized beast of burden was abruptly crushed, its entire body pressing and slamming into the seven-colored light screen. Its nose caved in, and its entire head seemed to sink inward, blood mixed with demonic energy splattering.
The seven-colored mystic light suddenly distorted, bursting forth with a surging, majestic Heaven and Earth power, transforming into a giant Heaven and Earth palm that crushed the demonized beast of burden, its head shattered and bloodied, as if it were a tiny insect. The palm imprint landed on the sand dune ahead!
Boom!!!
The entire sand dune exploded, accompanied by a deafening boom that shook the entire desert.
The terrifying energy of the Heaven and Earth Palm had utterly crushed the demonized beast's body, leaving a massive palm imprint over ten zhang long in the sand sea, sinking three chi deep.
"Cough... Cough... Is that the power of Heaven and Earth?"
At this moment, Xia Hou Yan was struggling to stand amidst the sand dunes, dozens of zhang away. Witnessing the demonized beast being pulverized by the Heaven and Earth Palm, he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.
The power of Heaven and Earth.
It was not unfamiliar to him.
Many years ago, he had fought alongside Chen Mu in the sand sea and had personally witnessed Chen Mu's Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal and his annihilation of the demonized spider king.
The power of Heaven and Earth that Chen Yue had unleashed was extremely familiar, undoubtedly originating from Chen Mu. However, compared to years ago, this energy had reached a pinnacle of perfection.
Merely leaving an imprint in the Mystic Jade, the power unleashed was enough to shake the heavens and destroy a demonized beast, a nearly top-tier Grandmaster-level demon king. It was awe-inspiring, yet also evoked a sense of lament.
Although he had known that Chen Mu would eventually surpass him, Xia Hou Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and envy, realizing that in less than a decade, Chen Mu had reached heights he could barely fathom.
"The Heaven and Earth Palm Imprint... A move to overturn the heavens..."
"That must be the work of that person..."
Kang Nai Wu and Liang Xiao, who were also from an earlier generation of true disciples, struggled to their feet from the sand dunes. They gazed at Chen Yue with a mix of astonishment and awe.
They were once true disciples before Chen Mu's generation, but they had never broken through the Marrow Gate or entered the Marrow Washing Grandmaster Realm. However, they had followed the progress of Chen Mu and the new generation of true disciples, and now they could only sigh in admiration.
The two barely managed to regulate their chaotic inner energy and took shaky steps towards Chen Yue.
On the other side, Xia Hou Yan swallowed a healing pill, forcing himself to take a step forward and join the group. He kept his gaze fixed on the deep palm imprint in the sand sea and the crushed remains of the demonized beast, his expression solemn. "Cough... Chen Shimei... And fellow disciples, the appearance of demonic energy in the desert is no small matter. We must immediately return to the sect and report..."
"Indeed, this is a matter of great importance. We should return at once... How is Xiahou Shixiong's injury?"
Wen Yuan, the only one among the five who wasn't injured, responded and approached Xia Hou Yan. "Your injury, Xiahou Shixiong?"
Xia Hou Yan's mouth and chest still bore traces of crimson blood, his breathing labored, indicating more severe injuries than Kang Nai Wu and Liang Xiao.
"It's not a problem..."
Xia Hou Yan waved and shook his head at Wen Yuan.
Although his injuries were severe, he could still move. After taking the healing pill, he managed to suppress the pain.
Chen Yue also stared at the palm imprint and the remains of the demonized beast, her eyes revealing a sense of solemnity. She then turned to Wen Yuan and said, "Wen Shixiong, since you're unharmed, please return to the sect and report. I'll escort Xiahou Shixiong back to Yunlu Pass."
"Alright..." Wen Yuan, understanding the gravity of the situation, nodded gravely and immediately set off towards Yunlu Pass.
Chen Yue then approached Xia Hou Yan and Kang Nai Wu, preparing to join them.
However, at that moment, an unexpected event occurred.
Wen Yuan, who was heading back, suddenly found the boundless yellow sand in his path shrouded in darkness. A repressive and chaotic aura rose from the sand, staining the sand dunes black.
"Not good!"
Xia Hou Yan and the others' expressions changed dramatically.
Demonic energy!
Demonic energy again!
How could there be so much demonic energy spreading through the desert?
"Hee hee, haha, ho ho ho..."
Before Xia Hou Yan and the others could react, a chaotic and eerie laughter filled the air, a mix of children, elders, and women, creating an intensely uncomfortable feeling. Their minds were overwhelmed with negative emotions.
Whether it was Xia Hou Yan, Kang Nai Wu, Liang Xiao, or Chen Yue, they all froze in place, their thoughts suppressed and filled with chaos.
Wen Yuan, closest to the source, was frozen, unable to even think of raising his mystic weapon in defense. He felt his consciousness being forcibly suppressed, his body unresponsive.
In this moment, they felt as if the heavens had darkened, plunging them into a boundless, pitch-black world. Despite being in the desert, they seemed to be sinking into an endless abyss, struggling in vain. A sense of hopelessness overwhelmed them.
However, this drowning hopelessness didn't last long. Suddenly, it was torn apart!
A brilliant light appeared, piercing the darkness.
This light shattered the night, dispelled the gloom, and ripped through the abyss.
It was a surging energy, majestic and righteous, like the will of heaven and earth.
"Hmph."
A cold hum seemed to resonate through the heavens and earth.
In that instant, Chen Yue and the others' suppressed consciousness returned to normal, their thoughts clearing, and their vision restored to the desert scene.
Before them, an awe-inspiring sight unfolded.
The heavens seemed to twist and bend, the sky seemed to collapse, and the endless sand to surge like a wave, forming a visible giant hand that reached for thousands of miles, grasping the vast expanse of sand!
At this moment, it was as if a will had descended, commanding the heavens and earth to submit to its intentions. Chen Yue recognized this will, her eyes gleaming.
Chen Mu!
