Chapter 676: Chapter 52 The Gate of Cave Heaven Opens

Unlike all the Divine Repositories and Purple Mansions that Heaven Star had encountered before, the Kun Demon Demon King was not subject to any limitations, nor had it sustained any injuries. Its Law Domain was at Perfection, and its Divine Power fully integrated, making it a complete Purple Mansion. Its power was endless, devoid of any emotions or desires. Its existence was for a sole purpose, leaving no vulnerability whatsoever.

An Jing didn’t even dare to stimulate the ’Shenxiao Destruction Sword Intent’ contained within the Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus. Although the Annihilation Sword Intent could damage the opponent, it would only be for an instant. As soon as the Sword Lotus lost its power, the Law Domain of the Kun Demon would pour down, engulfing all of them, dissolving them into dust.

Fortunately, the three from Ganyuan Sea aided An Jing with all their might—the Qi stored within their bodies was terrifyingly immense, comparable to the reserves within An Jing’s Inner Array Realm. This power might not be useful in combat, but it was first-rate for catalyzation and support.

Moreover, they were indeed kin of the Divine Wood and understood the essence of natural Divine Weapon Treasures like the Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus extremely well. They provided it with a vast amount of Spirit Qi as easily as they would support their own bodies, alleviating An Jing’s pressure completely. He was then able to speak, "Everyone with a Spirit Qi Furnace and Spirit Stones, take them out, arrange a formation according to the Four-nine Heavenly Gang method, and infuse me with Spirit Qi!"

At this juncture, An Jing had already mustered his full strength from the Martial Meridian.

Currently, he was at the early stage of the Martial Meridian Realm, ’Seven Orifices Five Senses Enlighten Oneself’s Heart’, where his Soul and Spirit were integrated with the Inner Array Realm. From then on, body and Formation were one, my heart as the core of the Formation, my body as the Formation’s vessel. With Heaven’s Will as my own, I can now begin to adjust the shape of the Inner Array Realm, unleashing even greater power.

Since I am a Formation, naturally I can accept external support to manifest immense power; this is the very foundation of the ’Martial Formation Skills’ of the Huai Xu Realm. Every true martial Formation requires at least a Grandmaster of the Martial Meridian Realm, or a Divine Weapon that can replace the Grandmaster to display its power!

In this life-and-death moment, no one held anything back. Everyone took out their savings to set up the Formation according to An Jing’s instructions—the Spiritual Fiend burned fiercely, the light of the Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus became clearer, purer, and exceedingly Sharp, extremely sturdy and unbreakable.

As the Formation Base, An Jing faced even more immense pressure. Silver-white patterns on his body began to manifest, blood the color of molten steel churned and burned under his skin, and cracks began opening on his skin, releasing vast amounts of golden-red blood mist, embossed with Mysterious Profundity.

Although others couldn’t see it and assumed he only had a beginner’s Body Cultivation at Foundation Establishment level, for the first time An Jing pushed the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban to his limit. In this crisis, he even made further progress, breaking through the physical boundaries of his body with the Divine Prohibition of the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, extending it to the outside Spiritual Fiend and merging with his Divine Sense and Divine Intent to form numerous Sword Lights, vaguely constructing a Taibai Heavenly Star Dharma Form behind him!

The path of Foundation Establishment for the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban has now taken its first step!

The Kun Demon also noticed that its segmented body was being lifted again, and it sensed the light from the Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus, which would be of great benefit to itself.

If it were a human or any other Monsters/Demons, they would surely become greedy, lessening their force subconsciously to seize the Ship Lotus and the Cultivator – treasures that would provide a tremendous boost if captured and slowly consumed.

But the Kun Demon was different. They were wandering answers, the embodiment of objectives, active Puppets roaming between heaven and earth. Once they set their eyes on the goal – the Ancient Immortal Ruins – they would not deviate from their course.

It emitted a bizarre humming and then half of its body descended from the support of the Fiend Cloud. The half-body pressed down, all four segments of its lower body aiming the pressure at the Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus.

Boom!

The Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus did not fall, but the surrounding earth, a circle of a thousand zhang in radius, suddenly sank, creating a deep basin amid clouds of dust, and in the midst of the Ten Directions Furnace Formation, all Spirit Stones shattered at once, and the people supporting the Formation all fainted on the spot.

An Jing’s body trembled, blood gushed from his Seven Orifices, and the hot golden blood that fell to the ground turned into pure white steel. His body stiffened, and he half-knelt on the ground—but the Longevity Green Qi provided by the trio from Ganyuan Sea swiftly brought him back to consciousness. However, the wooden structures of the trio were rapidly decaying and wilting, and even their bodies were showing signs of collapsing.

It was impossible to hold on.

An Jing’s heart sank. He understood clearly that all the Divine Repositories he had overcome in the past were not in perfect condition; they were either injured or merely avatars, trapped in extremely unfavorable terrains or unable to exert their full strength. They were all people with their own desires and vulnerabilities.

But the Kun Demon Demon King was different, it made no superfluous moves, only applying overwhelming force in the most pure and flawless Golden Thunder Law Domain, attempting to crush everything on its path into dust!

By An Jing alone, victory was absolutely impossible.

Luckily, this was not a battle that required victory.

On the horizon, a light blue Xuan Ice Spiritual Light shone, like a shooting star that grew larger and more conspicuous by the moment. In an instant, it transformed into myriad Xuan Ice Qi Arrows. They merged and concentrated, turning into a single point of cold light, piercing straight at the Kun Demon’s back!

The body of the Kun Demon lunged forward, emitting a silent scream that could twist the air itself. Far away, Chairman Chen held a bow of surreal mistiness, as if it were forged from the cold light of winter night stars and moon. He silently drew the bowstring once more.

The bow named ’Moon Ghost’, the arrow named ’Star Firefly’; Moon Ghost and Star Firefly, embodying Xuan Yin frost and shadow, where the chill becomes the arrow, and the intent solidifies!

Gathering all the Yin, Xuanyin, and Xuanming Qi between heaven and earth, forming a Divine Arrow that joins Star Heaven’s coldness with the deathly chill of all beings. Chairman Chen once again shot his Divine Power Arrow, piercing through the atmosphere, breaking through the Kun Demon’s Law Domain, and blasting a huge wound!

But even so, the Kun Demon did not hesitate or slow down, completely ignoring the Divine Power Arrow that posed a threat to its life, and pressed down on the Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus without any delay!

The Sword Lotus faltered, and An Jing knelt on one knee, unable to even stand up again.

But An Jing did not despair; instead, he burst into hearty laughter.

Because, on the other side of the Kun Demon, three weakened auras were once again rising slowly—with the temperature of the world climbing again, the Golden Crow and the other two True Spirit Demon Kings had regained some of their fighting power under the suppression of the Kun Demon and launched another offensive!

Accompanied by a flash of starfire and flowing light, the Kun Demon’s massive mountain-like body trembled and tilted. The Golden Crow, with a loud cry, rammed its tenderest fiendish Qi wings with flames capable of incinerating heaven and earth, directly knocking it onto the ground beside them. Rolling around, it flattened several mountains!

Afterwards, the debris from the mountains solidified, forming shackles that locked it down, while countless vines rose and turned into chains that bound it!

Although they were just fighting, the three True Spirit Demon Kings and the purely demonic Kun Demon were indeed not on the same side. At this moment, by joining forces, they truly temporarily suppressed its movement.

But this Kun Demon was extremely special. With the collective will of the unknown watching over it, it burst forth with a sharp screech once again, and whether it was the earth-stone vines or the Sunflame Xuan Arrows, all were disintegrated and scattered by the force it erupted with.

Freeing itself from all suppression and restraints, it turned around once more, heading for the Earth Pulse Node!

Even if it couldn’t overpower the joint effort of the four Purple Mansion cultivators, it had enough time before its defeat to shatter the faltering defenses of the Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus and breach the gate of Cave Heaven!

And at the Earth Pulse Node, the gate of Cave Heaven still needed a bit more time to open.

This bit of time, roughly the time it takes for a person to smoke half a cigarette, could be deemed insignificant, but at this critical juncture of life and death, it was excruciatingly long.

But would An Jing just sit and await his doom?

"Subdue Evil!"

An Jing said in a solemn and serious voice, "Can you do it?"

"Of course."

Subdue Evil was unhesitating and full of confidence: "I am the Sword of the Great Void that breaks through all; this alone, I remember very clearly!"

"Good!"

Without a moment’s hesitation, An Jing withdrew his nearly spent Su Ling Sword Spirit, and then, under everyone’s astonished gaze, he drew a sword and decisively struck at the almost-open gate of Cave Heaven in the true instrument.

Hidden within the Qi Blade of An Jing’s Qi condensing into soldiers, the true body of Subdue Evil, the broken blade, tore through the Great Void, breaking that last barrier between heaven and earth.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the true instrument ran at full power, and the swirling pool instantly dried up, revealing a huge, dark, and profound hole that seemed to suck everything in!

And on the other side of the hole, a clear and bright world brimming with a massive amount of Spirit Qi was revealed.

"Let’s go!"

Without any hesitation, An Jing took the lead and stepped forward, leaping into the gate of Cave Heaven!

As if awakening from a dream, upon seeing the opened gate of the Great Void, everyone else followed suit without any hesitation, jumping into the pitch-black maw!

Meanwhile.

Northwest Rift Valley.

With a resonant sound of a sword’s cry, at the deepest part of the dark and profound earth, within a nest constructed from countless metals and corpses, a will also opened its eyes.

[Subdue Evil...]
