Chapter 955: Chapter 45 Destiny’s Gears [Two in One]

When Daoist Yan flew to the top edge of the Sky Pit, what he saw was a towering figure clad in a black robe, roughly ten feet tall. The figure was large and muscular, with a visage that harmoniously blended masculine and feminine features, making it difficult to distinguish the gender, bald-headed and with half of the face covered in terrifying demonic tattoos.

At a glance, the figure did not resemble a living person, but rather looked like a clay statue from some Evil God’s temple.

When he saw Daoist Yan, he suddenly revealed a sinister smile, starting to chant some indistinct scripture, his voice alternating between male and female tones, sounding harsh and noisy.

"Gods above men, not as good as mortal flesh. Gods feel nothing, mortals full of desire. From desire humans are born, from desire demons are made, without dragon or tiger, the Golden Core illuminates the Demonic Mother..."

As the scripture from his mouth started, Daoist Yan suddenly felt his mind waver, as if a large hand was reaching into his thoughts. Being in the Eighth Realm, he rarely ever felt his Divine Soul being invaded like this.

Fortunately, the Divine Soul of a Sword Cultivator was especially powerful. A flash in his eyes, he immediately severed stray thoughts, leaving no trace of greed, hatred, or delusion, raising the Xaoyun Ancient Sword to protect himself.

But when he looked up, he was shocked to find not the Demon Head standing there, but Immortal Qi Jing Jiang Tiankuo!

"Die!" Daoist Yan shouted sharply, the Xiaoyun Ancient Sword instantly striking out, clanking loudly as the Sword Qi flooded the sky like ocean waters.

Boom—

The demon seed was forcefully expelled from the ocean of Sword Qi, its massive body riddled with numerous wounds, black and golden light leaking out of it.

"Such a ruthless woman," he muttered under his breath, "I clearly found your inner demon, and yet you didn’t hesitate to strike without a second glance."

Daoist Yan’s response was to drop another sword on him.

Even if the true Jiang Tiankuo were standing here, she probably wouldn’t have shown any mercy. In terms of ruthlessness, even Empress Feng was no match for Daoist Yan.

The Daoist Master Jue Yun surged mightily, a sky of Sword Qi sweeping over the demon, engulfing him once more.

"Enough!" The demon let out a shrill scream, his form suddenly swelling hundreds of times, growing into a hundred-yard tall massive black silhouette that enveloped half of the Sky Pit.

Instead of using his enlarged form to attack Daoist Yan with brute force, he swallowed the sky-full of Sword Qi into his stomach in one gulp. Visibly, as the Sword Qi entered his almost transparent abdomen, it intertwined with the deep black Demonic Qi, rapidly becoming tainted and assimilated, before being expelled in one breath!

Boom—

The Demonic Qi-tainted Sword Qi, now as potent as a poison-tipped Divine Weapon, surged out with even greater lethal power. Even Daoist Yan dared not face it head-on.

She chose a more effective method.

After realizing her power was insufficient to slay the demon, Daoist Yan had already mentally summoned the Shu Mountain Divine Boat.

In a breath’s time, there was a clanking noise as a dark void cracked open above, and the prow of a Bronze Ship emerged, instantly slicing downward.

Boom!

The demon seed might have sensed the exceptional power of this Divine Artifact and stepped back cautiously, but he likely did not anticipate that the attack method of the artifact would be so blunt.

It just brutally rammed into him!

With a loud bang, the demon seed, unable to dodge in time, had one leg smashed to dust.

In agonizing pain, he let out a sharp wail: "Ah—"

The sound pierced into Daoist Yan’s mind, causing her a moment of confusion and nearly losing control over the Shu Mountain Divine Boat. This, however, spurred her to act even more ruthlessly, maneuvering the Divine Boat to strike again!

This hit, targeting the back of the demon seed, blew a massive hole through it, rendering it unable to maintain its form.

Driven fully by the Daoist Master Jue Yun’s power, the Shu Mountain Divine Boat moved as swift and agile as a dragon in the sky. Now well-practiced in wielding the artifact, Daoist Yan saw the Divine Boat tail swing and drift, turning to strike again mid-air.

The demon seed locked eyes with Daoist Yan, two beams of divine light suddenly flaring up, whoosh—

Daoist Yan’s eyes also flashed with that trace of black demonic light, her body freezing for a moment, but only momentarily.

The demon let out a yell as his form dispersed, his body falling with fresh blood spilling out. He had never expected that, having seized a vulnerable moment to invade Daoist Yan’s Divine Soul, he would encounter an even fiercer Soul Power that would beat him out immediately.

It was a boiling Demonic Spirit!

He glared at Daoist Yan with resentment filled eyes: "Your demon blood boils, and your murderous nature is overwhelming. One day you will become a demon!"

"If I were to become a demon, would you still have a chance to live?" Daoist Yan’s eyes were as cold as stars: "I’ll start by killing you!"

With harsh words on her lips and no mercy in her actions, she stood on the deck of the Divine Boat and pressed down mightily.

This pressure made all the Evil Souls in the Thousand Buildings Valley tremble!

"Ah—" The demon seed continued to emit sharp screams, but could no longer affect Daoist Yan in the slightest. He could only roar helplessly: "You just rely on this powerful artifact!"

Daoist Yan, expressionless, stepped on the Divine Boat to press down on the demon’s body, coldly responding: "Correct."

That’s right.

Exactly like that.

I do rely on a powerful artifact, and yet...

What can you do about it?

Bang—

The Divine Boat crushed the demon seed’s body into the wall of the pit, smashing it heavily and plowing a tunnel through it. When probing with Divine Sense, the demon was completely gone.

It was unclear whether it had turned to dust or had managed to escape with a broken body.

Daoist Yan slightly furrowed her brow, sensing that things might not be so simple.

However, at least the demon seed had no ability to withstand the Divine Artifact outright, which was definitely a good thing.
