Chapter 524: Chu Ning's All-Out Attack, the Top Demon Cultivator of East Sacred Land Falls!
Chapter 524: Chu Ning's All-Out Attack, the Top Demon Cultivator of East Sacred Land Falls!
After a brief period of adjustment, Chu Ning stood atop the ruins, his face calm as he continuously manipulated his various treasures with hand seals.
The Yellow Wind Banner and the Seven Spirit Swords led the assault while the Five Elements Spirit Sword changed constantly, seeking to trap the Black-Robed Demon Lord or his Nascent Soul.
From time to time, Chu Ning also unleashed lightning or fire spells to keep his opponent on edge.
Chu Ning had already unleashed seventy to eighty percent of his capabilities.
However, this top Demon Cultivator of the East Sacred Land was indeed no pushover in terms of cultivation and abilities. He brandished the demon claw and the Yin-Yang Sickle, launching relentless attacks that seemed to never end.
The offensive power of the demon claw wasn't exceptionally strong since Chu Ning had already captured one of them, reducing its effectiveness.
But the Yin-Yang Sickle's dual scythe beams were a different story. They could simultaneously defend against spells and consciousness attacks, forcing even Chu Ning to exercise caution.
The Black-Robed Demon Lord's evasion techniques and secret arts were also remarkable, allowing him to repeatedly dodge Chu Ning's lethal assaults.
Although Chu Ning could cast Spatial Fissure, doing so too frequently wasn't an option. Moreover, now that the Black-Robed Demon Lord was on his guard, it wouldn't be easy to directly injure him with that technique.
At best, Chu Ning could catch him off guard and gain some initiative in the battle.
As time passed, Chu Ning failed to gain the upper hand, and a slight frown appeared on his face.
But at this moment, the Black-Robed Demon Lord's heart was filled with shock and awe.
"By separating my Nascent Soul from my body, it's like having two late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators on the offensive. Although the power of my spells and treasures is slightly diminished when my Nascent Soul is outside my body, it's not by a significant amount.
Moreover, the coordination between my Nascent Soul and physical body far surpasses that of two separate cultivators.
Yet, this young man is clearly only at the mid-stage Nascent Soul, and he's able to simultaneously control several powerful treasures, fighting me to a standstill.
Furthermore, the spells he's casting are all exceptionally potent and refined.
Such talent and ability are truly extraordinary and unprecedented."
As shock and admiration filled his heart, the Black-Robed Demon Lord's killing intent grew even stronger.
"This young man is already so formidable, and he possesses an arsenal of treasures. There must be a late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator backing him.
I must end him here and now, or the consequences could be catastrophic!
It's a pity that he took one of my life source treasures; otherwise, my attacks would be even more formidable.
Now, I can only rely on swift combinations and relentless attacks to try and catch him off guard or wear him down until his spiritual power reserves are depleted.
After all, with so many treasures and spells to control, he can't possibly maintain this level of combat indefinitely!"
With this thought in mind, the Black-Robed Demon Lord's offensive became even more relentless and incessant.
However, just as the Black-Robed Demon Lord was thinking of wearing Chu Ning down, the latter had no intention of prolonging the battle.
Seeing that he couldn't turn the tides, Chu Ning began to reconsider his strategy.
"As expected of a late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator. With his precautions, my few life source treasures might not be enough to defeat him.
But I can't afford to drag this out. This is still their territory, and I don't know if there are other cultivators coming to reinforce them."
With these thoughts in mind, Chu Ning shifted his focus to the Black-Robed Demon Lord's physical body.
The Nascent Soul was too fast and elusive.
Even if he used the Primordial Yin Green Flame or the Chaos Fire Lotus, he might not be able to inflict significant damage on the Nascent Soul.
Since that was the case, he would destroy the Black-Robed Demon Lord's physical body first!
With this plan in mind, Chu Ning continued to manipulate the Seven Spirit Drill to harass the Nascent Soul while simultaneously turning the Yellow Wind Banner, which had been attacking the physical body, toward the Nascent Soul as well.
It was clear that he intended to destroy the Black-Robed Demon Lord's Nascent Soul first.
Chu Ning firmly believed that even if the Nascent Soul and the physical body both appeared equally powerful at the moment, the Black-Robed Demon Lord would have to weaken his physical defenses if he wanted to protect his Nascent Soul.
Indeed, when the Black-Robed Demon Lord saw that the Yellow Wind Banner was now targeting his Nascent Soul, his eyebrows twitched in surprise.
Then, his physical body and Nascent Soul both used an instant displacement technique to dodge and reposition themselves.
When they reappeared, they had swapped their treasures, demonstrating their exceptional coordination.
The Yin-Yang Sickle was now in the hands of the Nascent Soul, while the lone life source demon claw remained with the physical body.
In response, Chu Ning sent the Yellow Wind Banner and the Seven Spirit Drill whistling toward the Nascent Soul, continuing to feign an all-out assault.
At the same time, the Five Elements Spirit Sword transformed into a giant sword and flew back into Chu Ning's hand.
In the next moment, the Five Elements Spirit Sword was reactivated with newfound intensity.
Simultaneously, several different balls of light descended upon the five distinct spirit swords, enhancing them further.
The Fire, Metal, and Wood spirit swords, in particular, emitted clear chirps and shone with brilliant auras.
On the Fire Spirit Sword, a fiery phoenix appeared, carrying a purple-red flame in its beak.
On the Metal Spirit Sword, a silver hawk wrapped in threads of metallic qi appeared, its eyes shining like polished steel.
And on the Wood Spirit Sword, a verdant green dragon seemed ready to burst forth from the sword, with a dazzling lotus flower of emerald and ivory floating before it.
At this moment, Chu Ning abandoned the concept of the Five Elements Sword Array and instead treated each spirit sword as an individual entity, launching them one by one at the Black-Robed Demon Lord.
The Black-Robed Demon Lord's eyebrows twitched, and his figure flickered as he dodged three of the spirit swords with expert precision.
Only the Metal Spirit Sword, imbued with metallic qi, managed to graze him, but he quickly blocked most of its impact with a claw-shaped shadow.
Just as he was about to dodge the fourth sword, the verdant Wood Spirit Sword, a pitch-black fissure silently appeared beside him.
"Damn! Another spatial fissure!"
Forced to a halt once again by Chu Ning's Spatial Fissure secret art, the Black-Robed Demon Lord had no choice but to face the Wood Spirit Sword head-on.
Black demonic claws waved relentlessly, forming multiple layers of claw shadows that created a defensive barrier.
A cry of a green phoenix sounded from the Green Wood Spirit Sword, and a lush green mist enveloped it as it cleaved through the claw shadows.
The defense formed by the layers of claw shadows was no match for the might of the spirit sword and crumbled instantly.
However, at the same time, the Black Robe Demon Lord sensed that the power emanating from the Green Wood Spirit Sword had faded.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand, directing the black demonic claws toward the fiery red spirit sword.
But what surprised the Black Robe Demon Lord was that just as the fiery red spirit sword was about to strike, it emitted a scarlet glow and, along with the green spirit sword, retreated as if unwilling to continue the fight.
"Could it be that he doesn't dare to engage my treasure directly with his flying sword?"
A thought flashed through the Black Robe Demon Lord's mind, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
If that were the case, he would bide his time and find an opportunity to collide with it directly.
However, at this moment, the Black Robe Demon Lord's heart tightened with apprehension.
A formidable aura that made his heart pound suddenly emerged before him.
Startled, his first instinct was to flee using an escape technique.
But it was too late.
The Green Wood Spirit Sword returned, leaving behind a lotus of green and white hues.
"Boom!"
The lotus burst into a dazzling bloom.
Fear flashed across the Black Robe Demon Lord's face, and he immediately gathered all his magical powers to defend himself.
For at this moment, he felt an immense threat, unlike anything he had encountered in this battle.
This aura even made him sense impending doom.
However, the Black Robe Demon Lord's realization came too late!
As the Primordial Fire Lotus exploded, a powerful impact engulfed his entire body.
Even with the full power of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he couldn't withstand the explosive force created by the fusion of these two heavenly spiritual flames!
"Ahhhh!"
Accompanied by a desperate roar, the body of the top demonic cultivator of the East Sacred Continent was obliterated by the impact!
In the next moment, his Nascent Soul frantically fled toward the teleportation array, attempting to escape.
With his physical body destroyed, this late-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivator knew that he was no longer a match for Chu Ning, and his first instinct was to run.
His speed was astonishing, and even though Chu Ning was prepared and used the Yellow Wind Banner and the Seven Spirits Drill to intercept, he still escaped.
"White Spirit, let him be!"
Chu Ning's expression changed slightly, and he called out.
Even though the Black Robe Demon Lord was now only a Nascent Soul, the treasure he held, the Yin-Yang Sickle, was not something that White Spirit, who had just advanced her cultivation, could contend with.
As the Primordial Fire Lotus exploded and the Black Robe Demon Lord let out a tragic cry, Cen Zikin, White Spirit, and the Yin Demon Old Freak all noticed, each wearing a different expression.
Cen Zikin and White Spirit exchanged glances, their faces filled with joy.
As for the Yin Demon Old Freak, who had been relentlessly attacked by Cen Zikin, his face reflected fear and astonishment!
"The Black Robe Demon Lord is the top demonic cultivator of the East Sacred Continent, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with an infamous reputation. How could his physical body be destroyed by a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?
How is this possible? How could this be?!"
Even someone as experienced as the Yin Demon Old Freak was stunned, deep in shock and disbelief.
More than that, he felt terrified of his impending fate.
If a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator's physical body could be destroyed, what fate awaited him, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?
Although the Yin Demon Old Freak's distraction lasted only a moment, Cen Zikin seized the opportunity.
The Primordial Water Divine Sword and the Yellow Courtyard Imprint attacked simultaneously, accompanied by several powerful spells that bombarded him.
The Yin Demon Old Freak had been barely maintaining his defenses, and now, facing Cen Zikin's full-force strike, he could no longer hold off the assault. The Yin Demon Token was blasted away by the Yellow Courtyard Imprint, and his protective shield was shattered.
In the next moment, the Primordial Water Divine Sword pierced through his neck with deadly accuracy!
A baby-like figure emerged from his head, and his physical body was utterly destroyed, leaving only his Nascent Soul to flee.
At this moment, the Black Robe Demon Lord's Nascent Soul had already fled toward the teleportation array, driving the Yin-Yang Sickle forward.
White Spirit channeled her magic power into the Ice Bead Cold Mirror to intercept, but Chu Ning's loud shout reached her ears.
White Spirit's eyes flashed with reluctance, but she heeded Chu Ning's words and dodged to the side.
The Nascent Soul of the Yin Demon Old Freak saw this and was delighted, preparing to follow the Black Robe Demon Lord into the teleportation array.
But at this moment, a powerful demonic aura suddenly appeared, startling the Nascent Soul of the Yin Demon Old Freak.
He turned his head to look, and in that instant, a black halberd silhouette flashed and disappeared.
In the next moment, it reappeared outside the teleportation array, as if tearing through the very fabric of reality.
The halberd, which had been an illusion, transformed into a tangible weapon once more.
Black light flickered on the halberd, demonic energy surged, and its might reached an astonishing level!
Even the Nascent Soul of the Black Robe Demon Lord, who was ahead, couldn't help but reveal a horrified expression.
His first reaction was to use the Yin-Yang Sickle to defend against the impending attack.
However, it was futile.
The black light enveloped the halberd as it slashed down with unstoppable force!
The spiritual energy in the area was absorbed, and even the fabric of space seemed to fluctuate wildly.
In the next moment, the black light dissipated, leaving behind only the Yin-Yang Sickle, as everything else had turned into nothingness.
Whether it was the Black Robe Demon Lord's Nascent Soul or the ancient teleportation array, they had both ceased to exist in this instant!
