King of Creation Chapter 2173 - 2158: Great Divine Power Practitioner (Finally Home)

The barrage from four hundred Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbows, not to mention the cultivation of the Mid Dao Realm Peak of the Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, couldn’t be withstood even by those at the Late Dao Realm Peak or even those half a step into the Creation Realm.

It can kill with a single blast!

"Demon Master!"

"Lord Demon Master!"

The remaining elite of the Demon Clan, witnessing this scene, cried out simultaneously, each with hearts in their throats.

Having just been sent into the spatial passage by Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, yet not far away, the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, emitted an exceedingly dazzling black light from his single eye, and also saw the scene of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong being barraged by the four hundred Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbows.

"Demon Master, watch out!" The single eye of the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, instantly widened, his expression becoming infinitely tense.

If anything were to happen to Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, who had always advised him, the impact and loss for him as a prince would be indescribable.

While all the Demon Clan worried about Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong calmly and freely laughed lightly.

"Such mere crossbow bolts, what can they do to me!"

In the next moment, Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s fingertips glowed with Spirit Light, gently drawing a circle around him.

The motion seemed slow, very relaxed and elegant, yet extremely fast as well. This circle was almost completed at the instant of being drawn.

And at that moment, those four hundred formidable Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow Bolts, each carrying various Mystic Technique glows augmented by the Priests of the Ancestor God Temple, came roaring forth.

This circle appeared ordinary and unremarkable.

But at the instant the Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow Bolts came hurtling over, the circle generated a suction-like that of a black hole, and all the Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow Bolts, upon nearing the circle, were torn and devoured into it by an irresistible force.

Four hundred Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow Bolts vanished into thin air, leaving Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong unscathed.

This scene made Ye Zhen take a sharp breath, looking at Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong with an unusual gaze.

Great Divine Power!

This Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong is indeed a Great Divine Power Practitioner in the Dao Realm.

At the same moment, Magic Emperor’s Seventh Crown Prince Congyun, rapidly fleeing through the spatial passage, upon seeing Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong unharmed, finally let out a sigh of relief and swiftly departed, disappearing into the passage.

The remaining over four thousand Demon Clan elites, seeing the incredible might of Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, seemed encouraged, their combat power and battle intent swelling!

"Are you Ye Zhen, Marshal of the North Sea Heavenly Wave Army?" Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s aura suddenly locked onto Ye Zhen.

After calmly rescuing the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun and easily taking the barrage of the North Sea Heavenly Wave Army’s full force, Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong showed no intent to leave and instead stared at Ye Zhen intently, his killing intent blazing.

The meaning was clear!

Ye Zhen’s gaze sharpened, and the Black Dragon Soul long sang within his Dark Palace, the scales of the Dragon Soul Armor instantly covering him, "I am Ye Zhen, Marshal of the North Sea Heavenly Wave Army of Great Zhou. You are?"

Looking at Ye Zhen, Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, with a smile as gentle as a spring breeze, lightly stated to Ye Zhen, "Remember, the one who kills you is Prophet Demon Master—Qi Hong!"

Prophet Demon Master?

These four words suddenly made Ye Zhen’s expression incredibly stern.

Almost at the same moment, a great alarm surged in Ye Zhen’s heart, and the Heavenly Mechanism Secret with its unique blood-surging sensation imparted an unprecedented sense of danger.

Almost instinctively, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense moved to recall his Mystical Mechanism Avatar to his side.

Master Lud Li’s Secret Technique for the Mystical Mechanism Avatar, besides the external avatar’s lethal efficiency, its greatest ability is actually life-saving.

At crucial moments, the Mystical Mechanism Avatar can use its body to shield Ye Zhen from fatal attacks.

Should the Mystical Mechanism Avatar be destroyed, Ye Zhen would only lose a small portion of Primordial Spirit Power and Divine Soul Origin, and given time, new materials could be found to reforge another Mystical Mechanism Avatar.

But if the main body were to fall, even if survival is possible through the avatar, the gap caused by the loss would last a lifetime!

Truth be told, since forging the Mystical Mechanism Avatar, it was Ye Zhen’s first time to consider relinquishing the avatar to preserve the main body.

Moreover, since cultivation of the Heavenly Mechanism Secret, the Heavenly Mechanism Secret had never given Ye Zhen such an intense sense of peril.

At this moment, almost instinctively, Ye Zhen pushed his defensive powers to the utmost.

The Thunder Light Whip instantaneously condensed a thick Thunder Light Barrier on his body.

The Bone-attached Poison Flame Pearl did the same, with flames spurting, it actively laid multiple layers of flame barriers in front of Ye Zhen.

The best defense is offense.

Sensing Ye Zhen’s heart filled with danger, the Sword Qi of the Purple Spirit Immortal Sword reached an extreme level at that instant, causing even the void in this area to tremble uncontrollably under its thrusts.

Ye Zhen’s instinctive responses were quick enough, but Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong’s actions were even faster.

It was as if he had always existed in front of Ye Zhen, suddenly appearing there.

Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong spread his five glowing fingers widely and reached down towards Ye Zhen’s head.

Wherever the five fingers passed, the void shattered in pieces.

Sensing the terrifying threat brought by Prophet Mage Qi Hong, Ye Zhen simultaneously unleashed his Thunder Light Whip, Bone-attached Poison Flame Pearl, and Purple Spirit Immortal Sword, delivering his strongest attack.

Especially the Purple Spirit Immortal Sword, which had been poised for action, instantly launched thousands of sword lights at Prophet Mage Qi Hong, virtually sealing off all his avenues of attack.

Additionally, the thunder of the Thunder Light Whip and the Bone-attached Poison Flame from the pearl nearly blocked all of Prophet Mage Qi Hong’s attack routes.

However, amidst the seemingly gentle spring breeze yet faintly aloof disdainful smile of Prophet Mage Qi Hong, the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder from Ye Zhen’s Thunder Light Whip and the Bone-attached Poison Flame were all obliterated in the virtual glow emitted from Prophet Mage Qi Hong’s fingers.

In this instant, Ye Zhen’s gaze turned incredibly horrified, as he sensed an unprecedented destructive power in the virtual glow from Prophet Mage Qi Hong’s fingers, a terror he had never experienced before.

However, amid his shock, Ye Zhen felt a sense of relief.

It was due to the advance warning from the Heavenly Mechanism Secret that Ye Zhen had the opportunity to inject the Purple Spirit Immortal Sword with as much as one hundred drops of All Living Beings’ Will Power.

The Purple Spirit Immortal Sword, empowered by one hundred drops of Wish Power, glowed with a dazzling golden light, capable of severely wounding Late Dao Realm experts with each sword light.

Ye Zhen believed that even if the Purple Spirit Immortal Sword couldn’t seriously injure Prophet Mage Qi Hong, it would certainly intercept his deadly strike.

As long as this deadly strike is intercepted, the dozen or so Sha Clan Dao Realm experts, along with Ye Zhen’s Mystical Mechanism Avatar, could arrive in time to help.

The dazzling golden light from the Purple Spirit Immortal Sword’s sword light caused a flicker of unusual color in Prophet Mage Qi Hong’s eyes, but it was only a fleeting glance.

The next moment, a scene unfolded that left Ye Zhen utterly shocked.

Within the dense and resplendent golden sword lights infused with immense Wish Power from the Purple Spirit Immortal Sword, Prophet Mage Qi Hong managed to effortlessly sidestep the Sword Light slaughter, as if taking a leisurely stroll.

"What in the world! Where did such a monster come from?"

Ye Zhen was speechless, and even the Purple Spirit, controlling the sword, gasped in astonishment.

The Purple Spirit’s sword techniques were exceptionally mysterious, considered to be on par with Divine Communication.

Given Ye Zhen’s Cultivation, there were many who could withstand the sword lights, but none had ever evaded the sword light slaughter so casually like Prophet Mage Qi Hong, making him the first.

Purple Spirit, herself was confident; her true form and primordial spirit were recovering slowly from severe injuries, yet her sword dao was as refined as ever, even surpassing that of her previous master before his demise.

However, Prophet Mage Qi Hong’s astonishing methods thoroughly stirred Purple Spirit’s battle intent.

"Retreat quickly!"

With a low command from Ye Zhen within his Dark Palace, all the sword momentum of the Purple Spirit Immortal Sword was suddenly retracted inward mysteriously.

During this abrupt pause, the dazzling golden sword lights that had missed their target reversed swiftly. Hundreds of resplendent golden sword lights divided into thousands, forming a sword net before Ye Zhen, blocking Prophet Mage Qi Hong.

Ye Zhen had never seen Purple Spirit perform such a move, but in that moment, he felt all the spiritual power was drawn from his Golden Spirit Sword Palace within the Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace, indicating the extreme power of these moves.

Moreover, whether observed visually or with his Primordial Spirit Eye, it seemed impossible for Prophet Mage Qi Hong to evade the sword net; he would have to confront it head-on.

This sword move, named Circulation Returning Sword Net, was an attack of defense devised by Purple Spirit over countless solitary years after the fall of her former master, and this was its first execution.

Should the opponent collide with any sword light within the net, the thousands of dazzling golden sword lights would return to unity, unleashing an astonishing force capable of severely wounding or even killing the opponent.

But then, Purple Spirit gasped in alarm once more.

With a casual flick of Prophet Mage Qi Hong’s finger, the void vibrated strangely, causing corresponding changes in Purple Spirit’s Circulation Returning Sword Net.

Amidst these changes, tiny, imperceptible flaws appeared in the previously flawless sword net.

Prophet Mage Qi Hong’s advancing form shifted mysteriously, effortlessly slipping through a gap in the sword net.

"Impossible!"

Purple Spirit gasped in disbelief once more.

This Circulation Returning Sword Net had undergone countless simulations by Purple Spirit, who herself was unaware of any breach technique.

Yet, from the moment Prophet Mage laid eyes on this move, he instantly and effortlessly pinpointed the flaw and the method to break it, as if he had studied this move innumerable times, giving Purple Spirit an uncanny sense of unreality.

But Purple Spirit was certain this move was being executed for the very first time.

"What is this being? Human, ghost, or truly... a Prophet?" Suddenly, a profound sense of dread surged in Purple Spirit’s heart.

At that very instant, Prophet Mage Qi Hong’s terrifying fingers, shimmering with virtual light, penetrated the barriers and reached out towards Ye Zhen’s chest.

Ye Zhen attempted to dodge.

But beneath this strike, Ye Zhen felt entirely unable to evade, as if this entire world was enveloped by the impending grasp.

As the virtual glow of Prophet Mage Qi Hong’s fingers met Ye Zhen’s chest, the layered flame barriers and Thunder Light Shield before him dissipated as if they were mere air.

But none of this was the most terrifying for Ye Zhen.

The true terror the moment Prophet Mage Qi Hong’s shimmering fingers touched Ye Zhen’s prized Bear King Armor.

This Bear King Armor, crafted from the bearskin of the Late Dao Realm Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, Xiong Cheng, collapsed like paper!

It’s worth noting, this armor comprised ten overlapping layers of the Great Saint’s sturdy bear skin—a masterpiece of defense!

The shock gripping Ye Zhen at this moment was beyond description!
