Chapter 506: Chapter 481: The Overwhelming Hand
At the peak of Min Luo Demon Lord’s power, he was already an existence within the Immortal Realm; however, after suffering a grave injury, it took him thousands of years to barely recover to the eighth turn of the Primordial Spirit.
Now, having acquired the resources of the Desolate Land Demon Clan, he recovered swiftly. With years of accumulation, he surpassed his former peak and stepped into the Immortal Second Layer Heaven.
At this time, he was filled with shock and uncertainty.
"I had secretly passed on the news of the Dao Book to the Immortal Clan. According to my estimation, this Lu Yan should either be being hunted by the Immortal Clan or already killed by them. How could he possibly come to Thousand Demon Mountain?"
Min Luo Demon Lord’s thoughts raced, and he had a bad premonition.
He had followed Lu Yan for many years and understood his character: he was careful and prudent, never fighting battles he wasn’t sure of winning. But now, Lu Yan had dared to come to Thousand Demon Mountain, which meant he must have something to rely on.
"What exactly is he relying on? No, I must tell the experts of Thousand Demon Mountain not to act rashly."
Min Luo Demon Lord hurriedly rushed outside, but it was already too late.
After Lu Yan’s voice rang out, angry roars echoed from within Thousand Demon Mountain, "Who is this bastard daring to make trouble at Thousand Demon Mountain, seeking death."
A muscular demon of the Demon Clan with horns atop his head and wings on his back, wielding a giant axe, charged out and aimed a blow at Lu Yan’s head.
This was an expert of the Immortal Third Layer Heaven.
Clang!
Lu Yan reached out to block and after a loud noise, the demon expert staggered back; a flash of electric light on Lu Yan’s body, and he had already appeared in front of the demon, pressing down on the demon’s face with a hand gleaming with dark light and pushing downwards.
The demon’s massive body, like a meteor, smashed towards Thousand Demon Mountain.
A bright light erupted on Thousand Demon Mountain, and a great array surfaced, shrouding the entire mountain within it.
Boom!
The demon expert’s body slammed into the formation on Thousand Demon Mountain, his head utterly reduced to a pulp, and his Primordial Spirit dissipated.
Shoosh shoosh shoosh...
From within Thousand Demon Mountain, over a dozen figures surged out in an instant.
Misshapen and rolling with Demonic Qi, all of them were experts without exception.
Among them, there were as many as four of the Immortal Fourth Layer Heaven.
"Your Excellency comes and kills an expert of our Thousand Demon Mountain; today, you will not be allowed to leave."
The leader of the group, covered in blood-red, was a Blood Demon, with blood and Demonic Qi billowing intensely, extremely terrifying.
Boom!
Lu Yan, unwilling to waste words, made the first move by activating the Saint Soldier’s Foemula. He threw out a punch that directly shattered the Blood Demon’s defenses and counterattacks. Wherever the fist’s power reached, the Blood Demon’s body exploded, and he was obliterated.
The other demons felt a chill throughout their bodies as if their scalps were about to burst.
The Blood Demon, who was just now boasting as the second-best amongst the Desolate Land Demon Clan and considered a top existence throughout the entire Desolate Land, was no match for a common Immortal Fourth Layer opponent.
But facing Lu Yan, he was killed with a single punch.
What kind of power was this?
Flee!
Flee, flee, flee!
The remaining dozen or so demon experts had only this thought in mind, devoid of even a trace of will to resist.
"Lu Yan, impressive indeed, haha, kill!"
Mr. World chased after them, wielding a formation flag.
Shen Yinuo waved her sleeve, unleashing a flurry of fiery-red lotus petals that flew out, sharp as blades.
This was a method of attack she had derived after refining the Flaming Nine-Color Lotus.
An expert of the Immortal Fourth Layer from the Demon Clan was pierced through by Shen Yinuo, followed by a Great Sun Melting Furnace suppressing from above, obliterating the expert completely, shattering his body on the spot.
The fastest of all was Lu Yan.
With his hand as his sword, he unleashed the Purple Electric Thunder Knife technique combined with the Saint Soldier’s Foemula, turning into an extremely sharp battle knife flickering continuously in the air.
With each flicker, he took the life of a demon expert.
After over a dozen flickers, all the demons who had emerged were killed.
Within Thousand Demon Mountain, a multitude of demons witnessed this scene and were nearly scared out of their wits, frantically activating the Mountain Protection Array, forming a dense barrier of Demonic Qi.
"This Lu Yan, how can he be so terrifyingly powerful, how is it possible? Could it be the Dao Book? The Dao Book is so heaven-defying."
When Min Luo Demon Lord arrived, he also witnessed the scene of Lu Yan’s slaughter, his eyeballs bulging, and his body trembling slightly from shock and fear.
To make an Immortal Realm existence react in such a way showed how great the impact on Min Luo Demon Lord was.
In his heart, he already had thoughts of regret.
If he had known this would happen, it would have been better to follow Lu Yan quietly; perhaps it would have been better than now.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world, and now he could only hope that the Mountain Protection Array of Thousand Demon Mountain could keep Lu Yan out.
"Break it for me."
Mr. World waved the formation flag, driving ninety-nine formation flags toward Thousand Demon Mountain, trying to use his formidable knowledge of formations to break through the Mountain Protection Array.
But the Mountain Protection Array of Thousand Demon Mountain, having been accumulated for over a hundred and fifty thousand years and able to absorb and be fortified by the Demonic Qi of the mountain, was extremely powerful. Even with Mr. World’s full force, he was unable to break through.
"Senior, find the weak point in the array, and I will take action."
Lu Yan transmitted a message to Mr. World.
"Alright."
Mr. World nodded and then wielded the formation flag, probing continuously until a moment later.
"Attack there."
Mr. World pinpointed a location.
Lu Yan soared into the sky, radiating dazzling light, pushing the Saint Soldier’s Foemula to its limit. At the same time, he fused the Thunder Fire Rule with himself.
Swoosh!
Lu Yan dived down, like an indestructible battle sword, striking the weak point identified by Mr. World.
Boom!
The Mountain Protection Array of Thousand Demon Mountain trembled violently. Centered around the point of Lu Yan’s attack, a dense web of cracks appeared and, with a sound, burst open.
The Mountain Protection Array of Thousand Demon Mountain, broken.
The Min Luo Demon Lord felt as if someone had drenched him with a bucket of ice water, causing him to shiver in terror, before he frantically dashed towards the back mountain of the Thousand Demon Mountain.
At that moment, the Thousand Demon Mountain was in total chaos.
Demons danced wildly.
"Min Luo, where do you think you can escape to?"
Lu Yan’s Spiritual Sense had already locked onto the Min Luo Demon Lord, and his cold, ghostly voice echoed in his mind.
"Lu Yan...."
The Min Luo Demon Clan felt their scalp explode.
The next moment, Lu Yan’s figure suddenly appeared in front of the Min Luo Demon Lord, gripping his throat and lifting him up.
"When I showed you mercy that year and spared your life, I never imagined you would betray me, proving to be an ungrateful wolf... you’ve chosen your own dead end."
Lu Yan’s eyes were cold as ice.
"I, I..."
The Min Luo Demon Lord struggled frantically, unleashing the power of his Immortal Second Layer realm in a wild burst, but it had no effect whatsoever on Lu Yan.
He felt like a small chicken caught by a mighty tiger.
The gap was too large.
Bang!
With a firm squeeze of his palm, Lu Yan caused the Min Luo Demon Lord to burst into pieces.
Whoosh!
The next instant, Lu Yan’s figure vanished from the spot, pursuing a pitch-black war sword.
This was a Demon Sword, as well as a Sword Demon, with unparalleled strength in the Thousand Demon Mountain.
This should be the top master of the Thousand Demon Mountain.
An existence like this likely held information about the Dao Book, and could not be overlooked.
"I will fight you with everything I’ve got."
Realizing Lu Yan was in pursuit and knowing he couldn’t escape, the Sword Demon turned around, releasing an explosion of Demonic Qi that soared to the skies, and slashed towards Lu Yan.
His might was astonishing, scarcely weaker than Zhang Shi.
Lu Yan swung his hand with a chop.
With a thud, the Sword Demon stumbled backward, his body covered in cracks and nearly exploding apart.
"Immortal Fifth Layer, you are of the Immortal Fifth Layer."
The Sword Demon howled out of profound fear.
The gap between the Immortal Fifth Layer and the Immortal Fourth Layer was vast, larger than any of the smaller gaps within the Immortal Realm, and extremely difficult to bridge.
Lu Yan, with the strength to crush him, had to be of the Immortal Fifth Layer.
He burst into flames, attempting to escape.
Lu Yan’s eyes were cold and indifferent. With a wave of his hand, he reached out to grab the Sword Demon.
Boom!
At that moment, Lu Yan felt the entire Thousand Demon Mountain tremble.
No, not just the Thousand Demon Mountain, but the entire earth was shaking.
In fact, the whole world quaked.
Boom boom!
Several more thunderous rumbles followed.
This time, the sensation was even clearer; it was not merely the Thousand Demon Mountain, but the entire Desolate Land, the entire world, and even the vast Wild Ocean that were shaking violently.
A terrifying pressure emanated from The sky’s Vault above, spreading from an endlessly distant place.
"What is that?"
Some strong members of the Demon Clan looked up at the sky with incredulous cries of astonishment.
Above the sky at that moment, it was blindingly bright.
At an extremely high altitude, a layer of light emerged, emitting an intense brilliance several times brighter than the sun, like a protective barrier enveloping the Wild Ocean and the entire Origin Continent within it.
"That’s... above the Nine Layer Heaven."
Lu Yan’s gaze sharpened.
Only now did he realize that above the Nine Layer Heaven, there was such a layer of light. When he had previously reached the Nine Layer Heaven, he had not ventured further up and was unaware that there existed this layer of light above.
But at this moment, it seemed that a formidable power was striking this layer of light, causing it to tremble slightly, like ripples on water.
Immediately after, another layer of light emerged beneath that one, also shining with a dazzling light.
This layer of light, judging from its position, was likely the barrier between the Eighth Heaven and the Nine Layer Heaven.
Then, further down, another layer of light emerged, marking the barrier between the Seventh Heaven and the Eighth Heaven.
Next, one after another, more layers of light surfaced...
They were the barriers between each Layer of Heaven, and in the end, there were ten layers of light, stacked one upon another, blocking all forces.
At that moment, various thunderstorms and fire seas within the Nine Layer Heaven seemed to dissipate, becoming clear and transparent. Everyone could see through the ten layers of light to the outside... the boundless starry sky.
Profound, remote, vast, and immeasurable.
Countless large stars hung suspended in the infinite cosmos, emitting dazzling light.
Boom!
Within the boundless starry sky, another roar erupted, eons away from the Wild Ocean, but the thunderous noise could still be heard across the Desolate Land.
No, to be precise, it wasn’t just the Desolate Land but also various locations in the Wild Ocean, like Da Wu, that could hear it.
At that moment, countless beings above the Wild Ocean looked up, witnessing this unbelievable spectacle.
Amidst the rumbling, an unimaginable force swept towards the Wild Ocean, eventually blocked by the ten layers of light. However, the entire Wild Ocean trembled, causing towering ocean waves.
Along the coastlines of various continents, this even triggered giant waves over a hundred meters high, engulfing countless beings.
Suddenly, within the infinite cosmos, a section of space shattered, and a furry giant hand reached towards the Wild Ocean.
This hand was larger than the stars, obscuring the sun and seemingly covering the entire Wild Ocean beneath it.
