Chapter 662: Displaying Divine Might, One Against Five
As Demon Tyrant finished speaking, Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai's expressions turned peculiar.
In fact, it wasn't just them; the others also looked extremely surprised.
Although these two had recently advanced to the Demigod Realm, Demon Tyrant was an old and established Demigod Realm cultivator.
In terms of strength, he was on par with Venerable Lingfeng and the Dark Demon.
It was truly unexpected that he would proactively invite the two of them to join forces against Chu Ning.
After all, at the Demigod Realm level, even if there were differences in cultivation, the gap should theoretically be minimal.
For an old and powerful cultivator like Demon Tyrant to propose a three-on-one fight was undoubtedly an acknowledgment of his inferiority to Chu Ning.
Even though Chu Ning's appearance had just given everyone a shock.
This was also beyond everyone's expectations.
However, upon recalling Demon Tyrant's previous words, it seemed that there had been an encounter between Chu Ning and Northern Cold in the past. Thus, no one spoke up.
Meng Xinghe and Luo Duanhai hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances, and then Luo Duanhai spoke first, "Back then, even with our combined efforts, we weren't a match for Fellow Daoist Chu. This time, joining forces is not something to be ashamed of.
We just don't know if Fellow Daoist Chu is willing to give us some guidance?"
As Luo Duanhai spoke, his eyes gleamed with intensity, fixed on Chu Ning.
Throughout his cultivation journey, he had experienced countless battles, big and small.
But the most stimulating one was his defeat at Chu Ning's hands.
It should be known that back then, he believed that in the Sky Curtain Continent, there was no one who could rival him in the Demigod Realm except for Meng Xinghe.
Yet, even with Meng Xinghe's assistance, they still lost to Chu Ning.
This defeat had driven Luo Duanhai to cultivate even more frantically for the past two hundred years.
Meng Xinghe had also been affected in the same way.
This was a significant reason for their advancement to the Demigod Realm.
After breaking through, their first thought was to find Chu Ning and regain their lost face.
Upon learning of Chu Ning's appearance, the two were eager to test their skills.
However, Chu Ning's entrance had dealt them a heavy blow, making them realize that they couldn't hope to fare well against Chu Ning alone.
But with three of them together, it would be a different story.
Even though Chu Ning was powerful and had even mastered Essence Power, they were still confident in a three-on-one fight.
If they could defeat Chu Ning and regain some face, they wouldn't feel ashamed of their numerical advantage.
Luo Duanhai was a bit concerned that Chu Ning might not accept the challenge, which was why he used those provoking words at the end.
Chu Ning, of course, could tell what he meant, but he responded indifferently, "Since you all have such intentions, Chu would also like to witness your formidable techniques."
Hearing Chu Ning's quick agreement, a hint of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes once again.
Demon Tyrant, Meng Xinghe, and Luo Duanhai didn't say more at this moment. They took a step forward, surrounding Chu Ning on all sides.
At the same time, the other Demigod Realm cultivators quickly scattered and flew away.
Simultaneously, a massive black hole appeared several zhang in front of Demon Tyrant, as if it wanted to devour everything.
Demon Tyrant's body suddenly expanded, transforming into a three-zhang-tall giant demon, and a huge axe appeared in his hand.
Wielding the giant axe, he slashed downward, and a giant axe made of black light burst out, tearing through the heavens and earth as it swiftly descended upon Chu Ning.
The massive black hole that had formed in front of Demon Tyrant also quickly enveloped Chu Ning.
Demon Tyrant had directly unleashed his ultimate moves, the Soul-devouring Abyss and the Method of Transformation, right from the start.
He had even used his life-bound treasure.
It was clear that he was extremely wary of Chu Ning.
In the past, Chu Ning, who was at the late-stage Essence Incarnation, had caught Demon Tyrant off guard with the Profound Heaven Mirror.
But now, facing Demon Tyrant's various lethal attacks, Chu Ning didn't rush to take out his treasure.
His eyes scanned Luo Duanhai and Meng Xinghe.
Chu Ning was familiar with the techniques of Luo Duanhai and Meng Xinghe.
Luo Duanhai's body was enveloped in black energy, and various demons appeared.
As strands of blood energy infused into these demons from Luo Duanhai's body, they all flew out and converged in the air, transforming into a colossal demon head that rushed towards Chu Ning.
Meng Xinghe's robe fluttered without any wind, and as low humming sounds echoed, a hurricane formed around him, quickly coalescing into a gigantic wind dragon.
The wind dragon, like a living creature, soared into the sky and then fiercely pounced on Chu Ning.
These were Luo Duanhai's Ten-thousand Demons Devouring Technique and Meng Xinghe's Rhapsody of the Wind Dragon.
In the blink of an eye, the three Demigod Realm cultivators had unleashed their signature moves.
Their displayed techniques blotted out the sun and moon, stirring up the spiritual energy within a few hundred li around them.
(End of Chapter 662)
Within a radius of several dozen li, even sunlight struggled to penetrate the darkness.
The combined might of the three Demigod Realm Cultivators was so formidable that the other Demigod Realm Cultivators present couldn't help but turn solemn.
The remaining few were also seasoned Demigod Realm Cultivators, but they could tell from the sheer power displayed that this attack was no ordinary feat.
If it were them, they might have been able to dodge, but they wouldn't have been able to withstand it head-on.
What surprised them even more was that Chu Ning showed no intention of evading the attack.
Chu Ning raised his hands, and two beams of light, one gray and one white, shot out, transforming into two giant hands that met the giant axe and the approaching Soul-devouring Abyss unleashed by Demon Tyrant.
The next moment, Chu Ning raised his hands again.
A dark purple flame flew out from Chu Ning's left hand, turning into a purple fireball that headed towards the massive demonic creature's head, which Luo Duanhai had summoned.
Another green beam shot out from his right hand, forming a green dragon in the air that confronted the Wind Dragon unleashed by Meng Xinghe.
Chu Ning's seemingly casual attacks sent a chill down the spines of the three combatants.
Demon Tyrant was familiar with the two giant hands that Chu Ning had unleashed; he could distinctly sense the essence power fluctuations from one of the hands.
On the other hand, he felt an overwhelming force of annihilation.
"This Chu Ning once used a mirror-like treasure to emit such a powerful force of annihilation.
But now, he can unleash such a powerful strike without relying on any treasure!"
Demon Tyrant was astonished.
But how could he have known that Chu Ning had been comprehending the fusion of Primordial Power and Spirit Energy for the past two hundred years?
Primordial Power was inherently composed of Vitality Power and Annihilation Power.
Chu Ning had mastered these two forces with ease.
The two giant palms struck the black-glowing axe and the Soul-devouring Abyss.
The axe, under the onslaught of Chu Ning's annihilation power, momentarily held its ground before disintegrating into specks of black light.
However, Demon Tyrant was unable to reclaim these specks of black light, as they vanished into nothingness under Chu Ning's annihilation power.
At the same time, the other giant palm approached the Soul-devouring Abyss.
The black hole that Demon Tyrant had summoned in the air, large enough to blot out the sun and moon, seemed capable of devouring anyone who gazed upon it.
Yet, against this seemingly unhurried giant palm, it was utterly powerless.
The massive black hole shrank before the palm, and with a single grasp, it shattered.
Demon Tyrant's powerful attacks were completely neutralized by Chu Ning.
On the other side, Luo Duanhai and Meng Xinghe were also in a dire situation.
The purple fireball, formed from the Zi Yang Flame, headed towards the enormous demonic creature's head.
Although Chu Ning's essence power had not yet reached perfection, he could already project it and merge it with the Zi Yang Flame.
As soon as the purple fireball, empowered by Chu Ning's essence power, touched the demonic creature's head, it burst into purple flames.
Instantly, the tables turned, and the demonic creature's head, infused with Demon Tyrant's demonic energy and essence blood, was enveloped.
Under the suppression of the Zi Yang Flame and Chu Ning's essence power, the demonic creature's head emitted shrill roars.
The black demonic energy on its surface churned, attempting to break free from the purple flames, but to no avail.
As the demonic creature's head shrank, Luo Duanhai's expression grew increasingly grim.
On the other side, Meng Xinghe's Wind Dragon and Chu Ning's green ice dragon, empowered by the Xuan Yin Qing Flame, clashed in the air.
The Xuan Yin Qing Flame, enhanced by Chu Ning's essence power, was far beyond what Meng Xinghe's Wind Dragon could withstand.
With a single touch, the Wind Dragon was instantly encased in a layer of green ice.
Then, it was slowly devoured by the green ice dragon.
At the same time, Meng Xinghe, who had been chanting, abruptly stopped and flew backward, clutching his forehead.
Sensing the intense pain in his sea of consciousness, his face paled slightly.
As the final secret art rewarded by the panel system, Chu Ning infused it into the Xuan Yin Qing Flame as he unleashed it.
Meng Xinghe's Wind Dragon also carried a consciousness attack, but it was no match for Chu Ning's consciousness counterattack.
In that instant, Meng Xinghe's consciousness was damaged.
The entire confrontation lasted only a few breaths.
In those few breaths, except for Demon Tyrant, who was better prepared and managed to avoid injury despite his attack being thwarted, Luo Duanhai and Meng Xinghe suffered backlash from their secret arts.
This turn of events left the remaining four Demigod Realm Cultivators in shock.
The two, Lingfeng Venerable and the Dark Demon, exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with determination.
"As expected of Chu, your abilities are indeed profound. I, too, am eager to learn a thing or two..."
As the words fell, the Dark Demon took the lead, sending out a series of talisman seals from his hands.
Each seal, though enigmatic, emanated a trace of true demon qi, causing Chu Ning to take a second look.
"It seems that the demon cultivators in this realm often rely on the true demon qi of the Yuyi Tian Mo for cultivation."
Chu Ning muttered to himself.
Turning his attention to Lingfeng Venerable, he saw a massive wind dragon attacking with force.
However, its might paled in comparison to the attack unleashed by Meng Xinghe.
Moreover, the wind dragon was laced with streaks of lightning, making it incredibly swift.
Lingfeng Venerable's move came after the Dark Demon's, but the wind dragon, with its late strike, reached Chu Ning first, attacking before the talisman seals.
Lingfeng Venerable had merged the power of wind and lightning within the Rhapsody of the Wind Dragon, delivering a powerful strike using the attributes of both elements.
As Lingfeng Venerable and the Dark Demon attacked simultaneously, Chu Ning's eyes flickered, and he chose not to retaliate at that moment.
Instead, he stirred his essence power, forming an essence shield outside his body.
At the same time, Chu Ning raised his hands, gathering essence power in his palms, and struck towards the talisman seals and the wind dragon in the air!
The silent shockwave reverberated in the air, and the demon talismans and wind dragon were obliterated by Chu Ning's dual fists.
Chu Ning remained standing in the air, his figure not moving an inch.
The essence shield around him trembled violently but remained intact.
"Essence Power!"
Chu Ning's every move demonstrated his ability to withstand the attacks of five Demigod Realm cultivators.
This undoubtedly astonished the seven Demigod Realm cultivators present.
They no longer doubted the essence power that Chu Ning cultivated.
However, the corresponding Demigod Realm cultivators felt embarrassed, and the three of them, Demon Tyrant, Lingfeng Venerable, and the Dark Demon, exchanged glances.
In each other's eyes, they saw the intention to test Chu Ning's depth.
Without hesitation, the three of them launched another round of attacks, almost in unison.
Moreover, Lingfeng Venerable and the Dark Demon also summoned their life-bound treasures.
However, what they didn't expect was that after their initial strike, Luo Duanhai and Meng Xinghe, who had suffered backlash, gritted their teeth.
They, too, were unwilling to accept defeat and launched their attacks.
Having witnessed Chu Ning's formidable abilities earlier, everyone unleashed their full power.
Before they realized their mistake, they had already launched their attacks.
In an instant, the Rhapsody of the Wind Dragon unleashed by Lingfeng Venerable and Meng Xinghe, the giant axe of Demon Tyrant, the demonic head of Luo Duanhai, and the demon coins of the Dark Demon, all struck towards Chu Ning simultaneously.
For a moment, spirit energy, demon energy, killing intent, and the power of wind and lightning intertwined, causing the entire marine area to tremble violently.
Those who had attacked realized that something was amiss; they had intended to test Chu Ning's abilities, but never to put him in mortal danger.
Aside from that, the secret of Chu Ning's essence power alone was enough to pique everyone's interest.
Ling Yue Fairy and Xu Yunzi, who were observing from the sidelines, were shocked and hurriedly shouted.
"Stop!"
But at this moment, with everyone's all-out attacks, it was impossible to halt them with a word.
Chu Ning, amidst the storm, faced this formidable might with a more solemn expression.
His cultivation and abilities were indeed superior to those present, and he possessed numerous treasures.
However, facing the simultaneous attacks of five Demigod Realm cultivators, he dared not be the slightest bit careless.
To activate various treasures for an attack at this moment would be too cumbersome for Chu Ning.
With a thought, Chu Ning raised his hands.
Void Secret Technique!
With his understanding of spatial power and his cultivation of essence power, Chu Ning's Void Secret Technique became even more formidable.
Chu Ning's essence power within a hundred zhang suddenly surged, and the next moment, the space turned pitch black.
Chu Ning's figure instantly disappeared.
The powerful and fierce attacks of the five Demigod Realm cultivators, upon entering this pitch-black space, were like mud sinking into the sea, causing no disturbance.
After a few breaths...
Boom!
The space trembled again, and the darkness in everyone's eyes vanished.
Chu Ning stood there, his face calm, showing no signs of panic.
For a moment, everyone was astonished.
