Chapter 445: Chapter 259: Demon Spirit Backlash

The Demon Ancestor Wutian, suppressed within the Earth Two Principles Ring Array, suddenly had his demon qi surge violently, like a hidden current erupting from the abyss, soaring into the sky. The demon armor on him, flickering with black light, seemed to come alive, eager to move.

A terrifying demon qi, thick to the extreme, quickly spread, like the array hub of a raging storm, rapidly expanding to devour the surrounding space. The form of Demon Ancestor Wutian became blurred, as if he was about to merge into this endless darkness.

Pitch-black thunderclouds quickly gathered in the sky, rolling and roaring, forming a huge vortex. The lightning in the thunderclouds glowed, carrying the power to destroy everything, illuminating the surrounding mountains and lands as if it were daytime. This grand scene was spectacular, yet filled one’s heart with fear.

“Crack!”

A red lightning bolt suddenly struck down from the clouds, carrying the momentum of Heaven and Earth Destruction, fiercely striking toward the Demon Ancestor Wutian within the Earth Two Principles Ring Array.

“Boom!”

A deafening explosion erupted as the Ninefold Bronze Gate was instantly destroyed, fragments flying, dazzling the sight. The Earth Two Principles Ring simultaneously exploded, two spirit rings, one above and one below, causing the Yin Yang Array to collapse in an instant.

Both spiritual treasures suffered heavy damage, and Tianshang Supreme trembled, feeling a tightness in his chest, spurting a mouthful of fresh blood. The pain, as if devoured by thunder, was so intense that he could hardly stand.

At this moment, the power of Demon Ancestor Wutian seemed to have transcended a Great Realm, intolerable to Heaven and Earth, triggering a thunder tribulation, yet also ironically elusive.

The crowd on site was collectively shocked, having initially thought the battle was settled, with victory in hand. Unexpectedly, Demon Ancestor Wutian erupted with such a terrifying power, breaking through two arrays, damaging two artifact array spiritual treasures, and severely injuring Tianshang Supreme in one fell swoop.

Li Mu stared intently at Demon Ancestor Wutian, attempting to see through the massive transformations happening to him.

Soon, through Innate Divine Power – Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, Li Mu obtained detailed attributes of not Demon Ancestor Wutian himself, but the set of demon armor on him.

[Bu Mie Louse Emperor Armor (Frenzy)]

Current host’s primordial spirit severely wounded, demon armor artifact spirit devours host, intolerable to Heaven and Earth, needs to undergo Silent Extinction Demon Purification Tribulation, urgently requires massive amounts of essence blood, primordial soul, to replenish itself.]

Upon seeing the attribute information of the demon armor on Demon Ancestor Wutian, Li Mu’s expression dramatically changed. He reached out to grab the Spirit Swords near ’Ten Thousand Swords Mountain,’ storing them in the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, while scattering Spirit Root Light, collecting Xiaobai, the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, and others into the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet. His divine thought conveyed to everyone, “Quickly flee, scatter and escape, the demon spirit is in frenzy, cannot be resisted head-on!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu’s figure flickered, immediately employing the Five Elements Earth Escape Technique, vanishing without a trace.

Seeing this, Tianshang Supreme, Venerable Kun Ling, and Venerable Qingwei promptly utilized their fastest escape techniques, following suit. Their figures disappeared instantly, leaving only a void behind.

Venerable Qingfeng and Qingyang True Monarch, among others, turned pale with fright. Elder Li, unbothered by the presence of hundreds of Spirit Swords yet to be gathered, turned to flee, evidently sensing some looming great terror. They too quickly pulled out their respective special skills, fleeing in all directions for their lives.

The Tier Seven True Spirit—Purple Sky Thunder Beast glanced sideways at Demon Ancestor Wutian, then its figure flickered, transforming into a swift bolt of lightning, disappearing at the horizon.

With the departure of the Purple Sky Thunder Beast, two Demon Venerables lost their restraint, immediately flying up to Demon Ancestor Wutian, looking at him with fear.

“Ancestor, we are ashamed! Unable to keep the enemy.”

“Ancestor, we’ve already exerted our utmost in this battle. However, that Nascent Soul cultivator is too fierce, Jiu Gu, Si Bie were all killed by him, even Fu Buddha was frightened and fled the array!”

The two Demon Venerables glanced shamefully at the thunder tribulation overhead of the Celestial Dance Demon Ancestor, afraid to get too close for fear of being caught up in the tribulation.

As Demon Ancestor Wutian suddenly encountered a thunder tribulation during the battle, the two Demon Venerables believed the Demon Ancestor had broken through during the fight, and now needed to face the thunder tribulation. They had no idea of the anomaly on him.

Seeing the Demon Ancestor expressionless, his scarlet blood eyes fixed on the two subordinates before him, while the red Thunder Serpent flashed continuously within the thundercloud overhead, a red lightning bolt forming in the thundercloud, ready to strike at any moment.

“If that Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator is not eliminated soon, he will certainly become a major threat to our sect!”

“This person, I roughly know his background. Based on the number of Spirit Swords he has, the sword array he deployed, … He must be the one who caused Tian Jue Demon Venerable’s body to be destroyed before—Sword Immortal Li!”

“Sword Immortal Li! So, it’s him, a Grandmaster in Artifact Refining! No wonder he has so many Spirit Swords.”

“Ancestor, if we can take him down, the benefits…”

Seeing no response from Demon Ancestor Wutian for a long time, the two Demon Venerables began discussing among themselves, analyzing Li Mu’s identity, with a look of gritted teeth yet helplessness.

The next moment, a strong sense of unease surged in their hearts, and they simultaneously looked up. Only to see, the demon armor on Demon Ancestor Wutian suddenly extended two tail spikes, like two black bolts of lightning, swiftly piercing into their bodies.
