Chapter 192
He hastily retreated, but the black-and-white pattern clung to him like a shadow, refusing to let go.
His soul was also locked onto by the black-and-white pattern, as if imprisoned within it, leaving him with no room for resistance.
“No! I refuse to accept this!”
He let out a long howl, a blood flame igniting between his brows. He leaped into the air, retrieving the white jade bone spear and gripping it tightly in his hand.
The next moment, an unparalleled bloody killing intent erupted from his body, soaring into the heavens, reaching even the highest clouds!
“Roar!”
The True Demon let out a furious roar, his pitch-black eyes gleaming with an eerie crimson, like two dazzling blood diamonds. Drenched in blood, his entire body seemed to be burning with raging flames.
He had ignited his primordial spirit, staking everything on this battle. Even if he won, his cultivation would hardly advance for the rest of his life.
“Humans! Today, it’s either your death or mine!”
With a furious roar, the True Demon raised his white jade bone spear and thrust it forward with all his might.
Whoosh!
A piercing sound tore through the air as the white jade bone spear transformed into a ferocious blood vessel, charging toward the black-and-white mass.
Boom!
A dull thud echoed as the bone spear collided with the black-and-white pattern. Blood-red and white intertwined into a net, rapidly spreading to cover the entire sky.
“Ah…!”
The True Demon let out a scream. He felt an overwhelming force surge through the bone spear into his body.
His primordial spirit seared with pain, as if pierced by a sharp sword, the agony nearly knocking him unconscious!
At this moment, he could no longer resist—all he wanted was to flee from this terrifying force!
But before he could take a single step, the black-and-white pattern coiled around him.
“No!”
The True Demon let out a desperate wail, struggling to break free. Yet, before he could move, an immense pulling force suddenly descended, trapping him firmly with no hope of escape.
“What… what is happening?!”
The True Demon cried out in terror. He sensed that the black-and-white pattern seemed intent on devouring him!
Wave after wave of powerful tearing forces seeped into his body, relentlessly ripping, shattering, and melting his demonic form!
His primordial spirit, too, was being slowly gnawed away by the black-and-white pattern!
“No!”
He struggled madly, but it was futile. His primordial spirit continued to shrink, while the black-and-white pattern grew endlessly, as if boundless and infinite!
Finally unable to endure it, the True Demon let out a mournful cry.
Then, his body was completely swallowed by the black-and-white pattern.
The True Demon!
Had fallen!
The yin-yang pattern vanished without a trace, and the blood-red clouds dissipated into nothingness.
The world fell into silence.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them, unable to regain their senses for a long time!
What had they just witnessed?!
The True Demon had died!
Every soul in Xia Capital had seen it with their own eyes.
At this moment, the entire city was deathly silent.
After a long while.
Xiao Minghuang slowly opened her eyes, her pupils faintly swirling with black and white hues.
Her gaze steadied, and she saw Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu, both utterly exhausted, collapsed in her arms.
Seeing this, Xiao Minghuang paused briefly before retrieving pills from her sleeve and placing them into the two women’s mouths.
Before long.
Ye and Lin slowly awoke.
Turning to see Xiao Minghuang safe and sound, they sighed in relief. Then, upon hearing the news of the True Demon’s gruesome death, they were stunned once more.
“Stay in the city and don’t move around. I’ll go see if the True Demon left anything behind.”
With that, Xiao Minghuang took the Medicine King and flew beyond the city walls.
Fifty li outside the city.
This was where the True Demon had met his end.
Now, the site was a massive crater, its depths unfathomable.
Xiao Minghuang focused her gaze and spotted, deep within, a bone spear as pristine as white jade.
“This must be the Heaven-rank artifact the True Demon wielded earlier.”
Xiao Minghuang had merged the forces of Yin and Yang, annihilating the True Demon of the Transformation Realm, but she found it difficult to damage the Heavenly-tier treasure.
“Let’s go down and take a look,” Xiao Minghuang said, then turned and leaped into the deep pit.
The Medicine King followed closely behind.
At the bottom of the pit, it was pitch black, but to Xiao Minghuang, it posed no hindrance at all.
She immediately spotted the gleaming white bone spear embedded in the charred rocky soil. She approached it and examined it carefully, but found nothing unusual.
“The True Demon is dead, and the bone spear is now ownerless. Princess, you might want to try and see if it will recognize you as its master,” Xiao Minghuang suggested.
She nodded, then reached out and grasped the tail of the spear.
However, the bone spear remained motionless and even repelled her hand.
“It seems that for us human cultivators to use this bone spear, we need some special method,” Xiao Minghuang remarked, nodding in agreement.
“Then let’s seal this place for now. We can come back to retrieve the treasure once we find a way,” she proposed.
“Agreed!”
But at that moment.
A powerful pressure suddenly descended, enveloping the entire pit.
In the next instant.
Figures glowing with radiant light emerged one after another from the void.
Each of these figures was immensely powerful, clad in magnificent divine garments, and even more terrifying than the True Demon she had slain!
“The aura of the Southern Wasteland’s evil demon disappeared here,” one of them said.
“We could still sense it a moment ago. How did it vanish so quickly?”
“Where did it go?”
At this moment, these incredibly powerful figures all wore puzzled expressions, discussing among themselves.
Among them, a man clad in purple armor seemed to be the leader of the group. He turned his gaze to Xiao Minghuang and the Medicine King and asked, “Were you two abducted by the evil demon? Do you know where it fled to?”
Faced with the mysterious purple-armored man’s inquiry, the Medicine King indeed avoided answering, taking half a step back and showing a demeanor of deference to the woman beside him.
The purple-armored man also noticed this and shifted his gaze to Xiao Minghuang.
Upon closer inspection, he was immediately struck with astonishment!
Heavenly-tier Five Elements Spirit Root!
Innate Fire Spirit Body!
Perfect Sword Intent!
What kind of monster is this!
Xiao Minghuang was unaware of the purple-armored man’s astonishment. With a calm expression, she spoke:
“The demon has been slain by me. You all have arrived a step too late.”
…
The fierce battle between two Nascent Soul Realm experts was not enough to draw the attention of true supreme beings.
But if one of them was a demon with overwhelming evil aura, that was a different matter.
The intense battle in the southern region had caught the attention of many major forces in the Eastern Pole.
For a moment, countless supreme auras emerged from ancient seclusion grounds, all turning their gazes toward the distant southern part of the Eastern Pole.
When they realized it was merely a Nascent Soul Realm demon, they quickly lost interest and retreated into silence.
In the end, the Holy Academy dispatched a demon-slaying squad composed of King Realm cultivators to exterminate the demon in the southern region.
After gathering the team members, they wasted no time and immediately activated the teleportation array, sending themselves to a neighboring state of the southern region.
Because the southern region was too remote and lacked a direct teleportation array to the Holy Academy, their arrival was delayed.
