Chapter 628: Impossible, Absolutely Impossible!
Chapter 628: Impossible, Absolutely Impossible!
As the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord's Demon Vortex Energy condensed onto the giant axe, it was clear that he was about to unleash a powerful strike. Chu Ning's expression turned solemn, and with a flip of his hand, he took out an ancient, rustic mirror—the Celestial Mirror!
"Die!" The Demon Slaughter Deity Lord's cold shout echoed, filled with murderous intent and brutality.
As the shout fell, the giant axe slashed down, and the black beam transformed into a substantial axe that tore through the sky. With the axe's release, the entire sky suddenly darkened, and even the sunlight was obscured by its sharp aura, causing the entire sea area to resemble the onset of night.
Chu Ning, without hesitation, waved his hand again, casting Void Rend towards the black beam.
This time, however, he was only able to devour less than thirty percent of the black beam.
The black beam, now reduced to half its original size, rushed towards Chu Ning.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth became chaotic, and the power of space fluctuated and distorted.
Wherever the black beam passed, dark cracks appeared.
These were the spatial cracks that Chu Ning had created and then disappeared when he previously used Void Rend, and now, with the violent fluctuations in spatial power, they reappeared one by one.
"What a powerful offensive!" Chu Ning couldn't help but exclaim at the sight.
But his actions were swift; he had already infused his Essence Energy into the Celestial Mirror and now directed its reflective surface towards the black beam in front of him.
Instantly, a white light shot out from the mirror's surface, meeting the black beam axe in mid-air!
The white light that pierced the darkness reached the black beam axe in the blink of an eye.
The black and white beams collided head-on, and in the next moment, they began to dissipate at a visible speed.
The black beam axe, entirely formed from the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord's concentrated Demon Vortex Energy, was powerful, but upon encountering the Celestial Mirror's destructive force, it vanished without a trace!
It wasn't like before, where it was shattered into scattered black lights, but it truly disappeared completely.
"How is this possible!"
In the distance, the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord, who had just unleashed the attack and whose demonic aura had dissipated, returning him to his normal human size, witnessed this scene and immediately revealed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
As a Demigod Realm cultivator, the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord had experienced countless battles of various scales.
But he had never encountered such an eerie scene before.
His confident strike had been directly countered by Chu Ning's unknown treasure, leaving him stunned.
"Not good!"
In the next instant, a surge of Demon Vortex Energy rippled from the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord's body once more.
Unlike the pure killing aura before, this Demon Vortex Energy was now mixed with a hint of blood energy, and the true demonic energy within it was even more intense.
The old demon had ignited his essence blood.
His figure flickered, and he disappeared from his original location.
At that moment, Chu Ning's Celestial Mirror once again emitted a white beam.
Just as the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord's figure reappeared about a hundred meters away, the destructive force from the Celestial Mirror shot towards him.
Suddenly, a massive, pitch-black demon head, tinged with blood-red, emerged from the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord's body.
Upon contact with the white beam, the demon head disintegrated.
But in that fleeting moment of contact, the white beam's momentum slowed slightly.
Seizing this opportunity, the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord's figure flickered in the air and vanished from his original location.
However, a black aura rose on his face.
Simultaneously, the surrounding black demonic energy weakened noticeably, while the blood-red aura intensified.
Chu Ning, who had witnessed this from a distance, flickered and was about to give chase.
But just as his figure started to move, he became acutely aware of the danger.
He quickly sidestepped several meters to the side.
And at that very moment, in the direction he had intended to fly towards, a black crack appeared.
The violent fluctuations in spatial power had once again triggered a spatial crack.
Chu Ning inwardly sighed with relief.
As he refocused his gaze, there was no sign of the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord's figure.
Even when he extended his divine sense, he couldn't detect the other's presence.
"It seems the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord must have used some secret technique to block divine sense probing."
Chu Ning shook his head inwardly, deciding not to pursue further.
After consecutively using the Annihilation Hammer and the Celestial Mirror, his Essence Energy was nearly depleted.
He had just used the Celestial Mirror twice in a row, which should have caused some damage to the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord.
However, Chu Ning wasn't sure how severe the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord's injuries were.
Unable to continue using the Celestial Mirror, he hadn't been able to deliver a decisive blow with the Annihilation Hammer earlier.
Pursuing the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord now would be too risky.
After all, the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord was a Demigod Realm cultivator, and Chu Ning wasn't about to underestimate him.
Nevertheless, injuring the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord and forcing him to flee was still a success for Chu Ning.
And on the other end, his Spirit Beasts were still engaged in a fierce battle with several Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.
The rest were fine, as Bai Ling was only equivalent to an Intermediate Nascent Soul eight-tiered demon beast, and should have no problem defending herself against Late-stage Nascent Souls.
However, he had to be cautious of the other party's desperation.
"Today, I'll let you escape, but one day, even if you're a Half-God Realm cultivator, you won't be able to flee from my grasp."
Chu Ning watched as the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord disappeared into the distance, his eyes flashing slightly.
During their first encounter, he hadn't dared to show himself and could only escape using the secret art of the Divine Ban Technique.
Over the past few decades, he had become capable of directly repelling the other party.
With time on his side, Chu Ning believed that even a Half-God like the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord wouldn't be able to escape from him next time they met.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Chu Ning prepared to turn and leave.
"Huh?"
At that moment, Chu Ning's face twisted in surprise.
About a hundred and twenty zhang ahead of him, a spatial tear suddenly appeared.
Accompanying this spatial tear was a palm-sized object resembling an arrowhead.
"Gale Wind Dart!!"
A glimmer of joy flashed in Chu Ning's eyes.
There were too many spatial tears here, and Chu Ning didn't dare to directly retrieve the treasure, fearing that it would be swallowed by the tears during its flight.
He quickly moved his body, dodging the various spatial tears in front of him, and flew towards the treasure.
He grabbed the Gale Wind Dart and felt that it wasn't damaged at all, causing a smile to appear on his face.
He had already guessed what had happened.
The Gale Wind Dart had just been swallowed by the spatial tear he had created.
But as he and the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord fought, the spatial force here fluctuated violently, and spatial tears continued to appear, allowing the treasure to reappear.
This type of spatial treasure was extremely useful to Chu Ning.
Especially after witnessing its many wondrous uses, he was genuinely surprised and delighted.
Chu Ning casually put the Gale Wind Dart into his Storage Bag and turned to fly back the way he had come.
At this moment, Chu Ning used the Divine Ban Technique, so those who were fighting naturally couldn't sense him.
However, Chu Ning's divine sense was powerful, and even before he arrived, he had already observed the general situation of the battle ahead.
The situation was extremely favorable for the Longsky Hall.
The Earth Rhinoceros Dragon, the Frostwhale, and the Ice Phoenix were all stronger than the three Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Although they couldn't immediately kill the three Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Sky Curtain Continent, they had already gained the upper hand.
At this time, Bai Ling was fighting Yu Taohang, and she wasn't at a significant disadvantage.
With the help of the Ice Soul Dragon Roar and her secret techniques, she was holding her own against Yu Taohang.
However, Yu Taohang had been a Late-stage Nascent Soul for many years, and his cultivation wasn't weak.
It wouldn't be easy for Bai Ling to defeat him.
If the battle dragged on, she might become passive.
Ren Heng, a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, was evenly matched with his opponent, and the outcome was still uncertain.
But with the help of two Golden Thunder Eagles, the three Early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Longsky Hall were completely dominating.
As Chu Ning's divine sense swept over, with the cooperation of a Golden Thunder Eagle, Wu Lingwei directly destroyed the physical body of an Early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.
A Nascent Soul frantically escaped from the destruction.
The Golden Thunder Eagle immediately pounced, simultaneously releasing a golden thunderbolt, but the opponent managed to dodge it.
As the Nascent Soul tried to escape, the Golden Thunder Eagle gave chase.
At this moment, Wu Lingwei turned to besiege another Early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Chu Ning's body flashed repeatedly as he rushed forward.
The Early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator whose physical body had been destroyed was probably from the Demon Slaughter Sect of the Sky Curtain Continent.
His Nascent Soul flew forward while constantly looking back in fear.
Although his divine sense could roughly sense the presence of the Golden Thunder Eagle, he still instinctively watched the eagle behind him, fearing that it would rush forward and tear his Nascent Soul apart with its sharp claws.
However, what reassured him slightly was that the Nascent Soul's instantaneous movement technique was indeed far superior to ordinary escape techniques.
The eagle behind him was extremely fast, but after flying for about a hundred li, it gradually fell behind.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, as the Nascent Soul Cultivator turned his head, he suddenly saw a streak of light appearing from the side, rapidly approaching from a distance.
The streak of light flickered in the air, appearing every time with a distance of nearly a hundred zhang.
"Damn, a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator!"
The Cultivator's heart sank with fear.
All of their people were engaged in battle, so the Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who suddenly appeared must be from North Han.
"I wonder if they are friend or foe..."
This Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't sense the newcomer's Divine Perception.
But as he got closer, he could clearly see that the newcomer was none other than Chu Ning, who had just left with the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord to engage in battle.
Chu Ning's sudden appearance startled him, but he was also overjoyed.
Chu Ning was flying towards them, most likely being chased by the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord.
"I'm saved!"
Without thinking twice, the Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator wanted to greet him.
However, when he took a closer look, he was stunned once again.
"I don't see the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord. Could it be that Chu Ning escaped from his grasp?"
Recalling Chu Ning's formidable reputation, the cultivator's heart trembled slightly.
Even at this moment, the cultivator still couldn't imagine that Chu Ning could possibly repel the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord.
But this didn't stop the urgency on his face.
Without the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord, how could Chu Ning possibly escape from his grasp?
This wasn't a rescue; it was clearly a death sentence.
With these thoughts, he immediately accelerated his flight.
However, just as he had expected, how could a Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator possibly outrun Chu Ning?
After flying for less than ten miles, Chu Ning caught up with him.
"Chu Ning, don't kill me! If you spare me, the Deity Lord might let you go.
But if you kill me, it'll be a lose-lose situation!"
Held in Chu Ning's grip, the Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator desperately shouted, fearing that Chu Ning would crush him to death.
After hearing the cultivator's plea, Chu Ning chuckled.
"The Demon Slaughter Deity Lord letting me go? That depends on whether he dares to show up again."
Chu Ning's words made the Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator pause.
"What do you mean? Could the Deity Lord... No, it's impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Before the cultivator could fully process his thoughts, Chu Ning directly stuffed him into a black jade bottle.
"Gulp!"
The Golden Thunder Eagle, who had caught up from behind, witnessed this scene and let out a cheerful cry.
Then, it spoke in human language, asking in surprise:
"Master, what are you doing here?"
"I chased that guy away and came back just in time to see you chasing someone.
Little Gold, you've done well too!"
Chu Ning replied indifferently, and the Golden Thunder Eagle's eyes lit up with joy.
"Did you drive away that Half-God Realm cultivator, master?"
Chu Ning nodded without further explanation and directed the Golden Thunder Eagle to enter his Spirit Beast Pouch.
Then, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the battlefield where everyone was engaged in combat.
With the Divine Sense Skill still in effect, no one noticed him until Chu Ning appeared within a thousand feet, gradually closing the distance to a hundred feet. It was only then that those in combat discovered him.
"Chu Ning!"
When they saw Chu Ning flying towards them, Yu Taohang and the Sky Curtain Continent cultivators were all filled with confusion.
Then, one by one, their faces lit up with joy.
They all had the same thought as the Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who had just arrived.
Chu Ning must have been chased back by the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord.
On the Longsky Hall's side, only Bai Ling and the Earth Rhino Dragon understood Chu Ning's true strength.
As for the other cultivators, the Frostwhale, and the Ice Phoenix, they were all shocked.
They had also guessed this possibility.
However, soon, everyone realized that something seemed amiss.
Chu Ning's appearance was too calm.
As he closed the distance from a thousand feet to a hundred feet, Chu Ning showed no signs of panic.
And the one who became flustered was Yu Taohang.
The Chaos Spirit Sword was summoned, and under Chu Ning's command, it flew towards Yu Taohang to strike him down.
The overwhelming might that suppressed one's soul engulfed Yu Taohang, causing him to tremble in fear.
At this moment, he couldn't even spare a thought for Bai Ling's attack.
He immediately drove his treasure to confront Chu Ning's Chaos Spirit Sword.
But the gap in their strengths was simply too vast.
The Chaos Spirit Sword shattered Yu Taohang's treasure's defense, and just as Yu Taohang's figure wavered, attempting to use a teleportation technique to escape, he suddenly saw a familiar treasure in Chu Ning's hand.
"Gale Wind Dart! How did the Demon Slaughter Deity Lord's treasure end up in his hands?
Could it be that even a Half-God Realm cultivator couldn't escape his grasp? No, it's impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
As his heart trembled, Yu Taohang hurriedly channeled his spiritual power to make a final stand.
However, with no means of escape, the Chaos Spirit Sword was simply too powerful for him to resist.
"Ah!"
With a miserable scream, Yu Taohang was directly struck by the Chaos Spirit Sword and fell from the sky.
