Chapter 218: Chapter 167: “Qilin Martial Lord” Fate Grid, Yang Su Unsheathed, Sky-Soaring Jade Light Illuminates the Jade Capital

BOOM!

The Monkey Great Demon was the first to rise from the rubble. Its life force was immense. Despite taking a full-power palm strike from Lu Mingyuan, it hadn’t died.

ROAR!

The monkey roared at the sky, baring its fangs and repeatedly pounding its chest in a furious howl.

The Cyan Lion Great Demon was in a similar state. Its cyan-furred head was matted with dried blood, and its massive, stinking mouth let out roars powerful enough to shatter a man’s eardrums.

The two Demon Kings’ wounds healed with incredible speed, but the single punch had left them looking utterly wretched.

However, a gaping, fist-shaped wound on each of their abdomens still gushed blood.

“I was just careless for a moment. Let’s fight again!”

“Use our Magical Treasures! We have to kill him!”

The two Demon Kings stared at the white-haired man before them. He seemed as insignificant as an ant, but a Taotie Pattern adorned his arm, arcs of Thunder surged across his body, and a Divine Flame was imprinted between his brows. They knew he was incredibly strong, and now they were both heavily injured. Thus, each spat a round Black Pearl from its mouth.

The pearls were a mere ninety feet in diameter, yet they were exceptionally heavy and emanated an eerie, blood-red light.

As the two pearls merged, crooked inscriptions instantly surfaced upon them. Immediately after, a majestic Barbaric Ancient Force surged forth.

The Barbaric Ancient Force felt dense, ancient, and domineering.

This was the two Great Demons’ trump card.

The Ancient Force formed two crescent-shaped shockwaves, radiating a terrifying might as they rushed toward Lu Mingyuan.

Lu Mingyuan stopped, his expression unchanging. He simply spread his fingers, and a Sword Intent Domain composed of Saber Qi instantly formed, ready to block the might of the Demon Race’s Magical Treasure.

The Barbaric Ancient Force erupting from the Black Pearl slammed into the Sword Intent Domain and immediately dissipated, failing to harm Lu Mingyuan in the slightest.

The two Demon Kings realized the situation was dire. They had truly encountered a terrifying prodigy from the Human Race.

Even the Magical Treasure gifted to them by the Demon Emperor himself was useless against him.

SWOOSH!

Before they knew it, the human man had vanished in the blink of an eye and reappeared behind them.

The two Demon Kings were highly alert and immediately directed their Black Pearl Magical Treasures to crush the ruthless human once more. They refused to believe he could block the Ancient Force’s impact every single time.

However, Lu Mingyuan’s attack arrived first.

“Sever!”

A Flying Saber condensed from the Thunder Prison Sword Intent behind him shot forward, leaving a trail of bluish-purple blade light. It sliced into the demon ape’s abdomen, piercing its coarse, tough hide. The slash traveled upward, extending all the way to its back.

With a sickening squelch, the Demon King’s body was cleaved down the middle, its two halves collapsing heavily to the sides.

As the demon ape’s massive body collapsed, a notification appeared before Lu Mingyuan.

[Trait “Martial Lord” triggered. Enemy slain, Momentum greatly increased. Cultivation temporarily and significantly boosted, advancing to the Late Stage Dragon Gate Realm.]

The other Cyan Lion Demon King realized it could not defeat the white-haired man—and that even escaping would not be an easy task. It let out a vicious roar, “You dare kill a Demon King of my race? Human, you’re dead!”

“The Flower Venerable in the city won’t spare you!”

This man had shattered the Black Pearl’s Ancient Force without needing to unleash the power of the Tenth Realm, let alone the Eleventh Realm. Before today, they would never have dared to imagine such a thing.

It was as if no one in the entire Ninth Realm could defeat the human before them.

’Flower Venerable?’

Lu Mingyuan murmured the name.

’This must be the main culprit behind the defeat of the Human Race’s prodigies. A Tenth Realm Great Demon, currently inside the Inner City.’

’Right now, I’m the strongest in the Ninth Realm.’

’I wonder what my chances are against a Tenth Realm Great Demon.’

The Cyan Lion Demon King before him didn’t hesitate for a moment. It immediately mobilized all the Demon Qi in its body, forcing it into its Qi Sea, preparing to self-destruct and take the human down with it.

Lu Mingyuan also sensed an extremely dangerous aura, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

However, he did not panic. Instead, he decisively formed a saber seal, directing the Flying Sabers behind him to pierce the Cyan Lion Demon King’s Qi Sea.

WHIRRR!

The six Flying Sabers spun rapidly, emitting a long, piercing shriek. They managed to pierce through the Cyan Lion Demon King’s Qi Sea just an instant before it could self-destruct.

With a tremendous BOOM, the chaotic Demon Power in its Qi Sea surged out violently. It rampaged about, forming pillars of light that caused the Cyan Lion Demon King’s Flesh Body to burst apart.

The massive, mountain-like body of the beast finally collapsed.

As soon as he executed the Saber Technique, Lu Mingyuan shot backward, evading the Cyan Lion Demon King’s final, desperate attack.

The situation had been extremely dangerous. The power from a self-detonating Qi Sea—be it human or demon—was more than ten times the user’s normal strength. If Lu Mingyuan had hesitated for even a fraction of a second, he could never have made such a clean and composed retreat.

[Venerable Purple Fate Grid – Qilin Martial Lord, Refinement Level increased to 15%]

[Trait “Martial Lord” triggered: Two Ninth Realm Demon Kings eliminated. Cultivation temporarily and significantly boosted, advancing to the Peak of the Dragon Gate Realm.]

After reading the notification, Lu Mingyuan made a grasping motion with his hand. The Black Pearls hovering in mid-air shrank rapidly and flew into his palm.

These two Black Pearls were a matching pair and incredibly powerful. They were the two Demon Kings’ Lifebound Treasures; with them, one could even contend with a Tenth Realm Cultivator.

’They must be Treasures bestowed by an even stronger Great Demon.’

He discovered that the interiors of the Black Pearls contained a large amount of pure Demon Blood and were filled with a vicious, malevolent aura.

Only upon closer inspection did Lu Mingyuan realize what they were: the outer shells of Arhat Relics. The Buddha Qi inside had been completely hollowed out and replaced with the pure, ancient blood of the Demon Race. In a life-or-death crisis, consuming this blood could save a Demon King’s life. Furthermore, they could infuse the Relics with Demon Power to unleash a terrifying blast of Ancient Force, catching their enemies completely by surprise.
