Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1417: 761: Slaying Two Demons in Succession

Yet right as he adjusted his stance, a fierce tremor suddenly rocked Demon Rising Island, with a dense pillar of black light surging up from the earth and hurtling directly at the brilliant orb of light.

Clearly, the formidable foe hadn't shown itself yet, yet the island's restrictive formation activated prematurely.

As the black light pillar burst forth, endless streams of pitch-dark demonic qi poured out from the island, resembling a gigantic monster stirring to life from its depths below.

Wu Yue's expression twisted in shock, and he instantly morphed into a streak of radiance, diving downward to try and block the black light pillar.

However, prior to his arrival, a lofty silhouette had already materialized without warning right in the path of the light pillar.

Zhao Sheng's features remained serene like still water, as he unleashed a punch crackling with thunder toward the light pillar. A dazzling surge of lightning blasted out, slamming into the black light pillar and demolishing it utterly, while myriad strands of Purple Cloud Thunder Light permeated the emptiness, swiftly eradicating all the leaking pitch-dark demonic qi.

The weakened lightning surge kept pounding into the depths beneath the island, easily obliterating every single prohibition.

Zhao Sheng pulled back his right fist, his form flickering before returning to where he started.

Right then, turbulent demonic clouds billowed up in the middle of the sky, the heavens rapidly turning dim as though dusk had arrived, and a enormous whirlpool formed ahead of him, whirling and gathering without cease, growing ever more suffocating and abyssal.

The following instant, an immense claw wreathed in demonic glow extended from the whirlpool.

This claw was completely ebony, covered in tightly clustered diamond-like scale plates, appearing utterly malevolent and horrifying. With a single clenching motion downward, the void ripped apart like fragile parchment, forming five shadowy claw scars that stretched from the skies down to the ground.

As the beast claw lowered further, it swelled bigger and fiercer, ultimately blanketing the firmament and eclipsing the sun, rendering the tiny island beneath it all the more minuscule.

“Hmph, acting all eerie! Show yourself!”

Zhao Sheng bellowed in fury, bolts of thunder igniting around his body, and a colossal dharma image with three heads and six arms materialized behind him, towering like an unyielding peak.

He thrust his fist skyward, and the three-headed, six-armed dharma image lifted its limbs too, forming fists and striking at the enormous beast claw looming overhead.

A deafening boom that shook the world resounded.

The fist's edge clashed violently with the beast claw, erupting in a brilliance a thousandfold more intense than the sun, ripping open the void across dozens of miles, and unleashing a tempest of space and time.

The heaven-spanning beast claw fragmented piece by piece, disintegrating into vast quantities of black demonic qi.

A piercing howl abruptly rang out from the vortex's core, as a blood-drenched beast limb hastily withdrew toward the heavens.

“Think you can escape!”

Zhao Sheng's gaze burned with savage intensity, his body blurring as he dashed to the beast limb, seizing it firmly with both hands and hauling it down with a force exceeding countless tons.

The gigantic whirlpool exploded open in a flash, and a humanoid savage beast, armored head to toe in scales and reaching a hundred feet in height, plummeted from the clouds, its vicious visage brimming with killing intent as it charged at Zhao Sheng below.

Thunder gleamed in Zhao Sheng's eyes, his frame expanding dramatically while his hands unleashed torrents of golden-purple thunder radiance. The energy raced along the beast limb, enveloping the entire humanoid savage beast in moments, cracking its shielding demonic glow and burrowing inside to ravage its innards wildly.

In a heartbeat, his physique grew to roughly ten zhang, the overwhelming presence it radiated nearly altering the skies and terrain, making the void quiver uncontrollably!

Witnessing this, Wu Yue atop the Corpse Dissection Bag saw his face shift abruptly and came to a stark realization, muttering inwardly: “Sigh, who would've thought that ultimately, I'd be the feeblest of our trio!”

But scarcely had this notion taken root when Zhao Sheng materialized, as if by instant relocation, over the humanoid savage beast's crown, confronting the monstrous cranium that comprised half its bulk.

He grinned with cold menace, his right arm trailing sky-piercing thunder as it hammered the giant cranium's brow, while the three-headed and six-armed dharma image at his back suddenly extended all six limbs, locking the humanoid savage beast in a vise-like hold to stop any evasion. A radiant golden glow flared from deep within the crimson framework.

Within an eyeblink, Zhao Sheng hammered out hundreds of blows upon the humanoid savage beast, every strike akin to a comet striking earth, brimming with devastating might.

How could a simple Void Realm Demon Elder endure such a barrage? Boundless lightning erupted from its form; its colossal structure crumbled in a flash, annihilated by the electric fury.

At that juncture, Zhao Sheng reached out virtually with his right hand, thunder illuminating his grasp as it clutched a crystal the size of a fist, foreign in origin. Inside, a shadowy demon essence thrashed violently yet failed to pierce the encircling thunder sheen—it was the demon soul of that Void Realm Demon Elder.

He glanced upward at the celestial dome, his left hand sweeping toward the sky. Innumerable thunder beams detonated abruptly, scattering every demonic cloud overhead. An immense expanse radiated from Zhao Sheng at once, surging outward in waves.

“Boom boom boom”

Immediately, myriad demon puppets across the nearby waters detonated in sequence, and certain abyssal mega-beasts got hit by the falling thunder, disintegrating instantly with their massive forms reduced to heaps of charred remains.

Zhao Sheng tucked away the foreign crystal offhandedly, his silhouette streaking forth like a bolt, and the three-headed and six-armed dharma image trailing him, resembling an indomitable Giant Spirit Immortal, pulverized countless demon puppets in its wake, while even the demonic intent fragments met their end, soon carpeting the ocean with thick layers of mangled remains and dyeing the waves crimson.

Under the crushing weight of this aura, Wu Yue, for the first time in years, sensed a wave of helplessness stirring within him.

Still, as a peer in the Returning to Void Realm, he wouldn't yield easily, promptly channeling his full focus to direct his enslaved corpse fiends in a frenzied chase after the Alien Demon Clan stragglers scattering afar, cutting them down mercilessly.

Zhao Sheng drifted down gradually, the three-headed and six-armed dharma image behind him swelling to greater immensity and savagery, projecting a fearsome presence that blanketed the whole island and the encircling hundreds of miles of ocean.
