I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Chapter 401: Chapter 294: Caught Off Guard, the Earth Venerable Realm Lord Strikes! (Part 2)

Lv Ze’s pupils suddenly contracted, rendered speechless with shock.

Only now did he realize—that the "Lu Xuan" who had been accompanying him all along was merely a phantom formed by the cohesion of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect!

Zi Yao did not show any sign of surprise at this revelation, as if she had long known this truth.

She lightly raised her delicate hand, her fingertips glowing with a purple aura: "The real Mr. Lu is probably already on his way to Aurora Prefecture by now."

"Whether or not we can catch up to that Netherworld Python depends solely on Mr. Lu."

Lv Ze then noticed that Zi Yao’s figure was gradually becoming transparent as well.

At this moment, Zi Yao showed no intention of stopping; she needed to hurry to Aurora Prefecture as quickly as possible.

Perhaps Mr. Lu might truly catch up to that Netherworld Python, who can say?

After all, the miracles surrounding Mr. Lu always kept people in suspense.

"This..."

Watching Zi Yao vanish as well, Lv Ze shook his head with a wry smile, "The two Directors really are..."

Oh well, the matters to follow are no longer his concern as a tool.

Finally, he could return and take a well-deserved rest.

Who would have known that over these past six months, he had been bearing the Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon Mirror, tracking the Netherworld Python across the land.

If this kept on, the Netherworld Python might not be found, and these old bones of his would likely be drained by the Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon Mirror.

He certainly didn’t want to be the first Great Spirit Realm Truth-seeker in history to die by having all of his heavenly energy drained by a ceremonial weapon!

Amidst the vast sea and sky of the Western Region, a massive shadow that blocked out the sun was speeding through the clouds.

The immense and winding body of the Netherworld Python stirred the heavy sea of clouds, leaving a swirling trail of clouds in its wake.

"Heh heh heh!"

A sinister laugh echoed between the ocean and sky, with the Netherworld Python’s crimson eyes shining with a baleful light: "Just you wait!"

"When I return next time, it will be the end for you miserable humans!"

The next time someone enters the Great Xia Dynasty, it will not be just me.

But one of the ten Demon Ancestors, the Feather Emperor Patriarch!

And that damned whelp!

The secrets he harbors are by no means inferior to the origin of the Spirit Ruins.

If I were to also convey this news to the Feather Emperor Patriarch, I could gain immeasurable merit.

In this way, under the rewards of the Feather Emperor Patriarch, achieving the rank of Demon Lord Completion, and becoming the master of a Pocket World, would only be a matter of time.

With this thought, the Netherworld Python’s speed suddenly accelerated, and sparks blazed as its scales rubbed against the air.

Soon, at the sea-sky boundary ahead, a dark aurora stretching across the sky gradually came into view.

The deep black light screen was like a river of stars hanging upside down, with countless star-like patterns shimmering unpredictably within, exuding a suffocating oppression.

This was the Heaven and Earth Restriction personally placed by the founding holy ancestor Xia Wuji of the Great Xia Dynasty two thousand years ago.

It’s said that when Xia Wuji laid down this unprecedented Heaven and Earth Seal, he had already broken through to the Earth Venerable Realm, a pinnacle of power.

Thus, the Heaven and Earth Restriction was unimaginably powerful, and even those at the same level of Earth Venerable as Xia Wuji could not easily break through it.

"Humph!"

The Netherworld Python’s snort of disdain suddenly rang out, filled with smugness.

"The mighty Heaven and Earth Restriction placed by Xia Wuji could only be accomplished by borrowing the power of the Spirit Ruins."

The Netherworld Python’s voice dripped with derision as it revealed a little-known secret.

In the end, Spirit Ruins was both a boon and a bane.

Actually, this seemingly impregnable Heaven and Earth Restriction, though unimaginably strong, possesses a fatal flaw.

Any being capable of refining the Origin Power of the Spirit Ruins can outright ignore this powerful Heaven and Earth Seal, rendering it useless.

At this moment, the immense form of the Netherworld Python snaked through the sky without any sign of slowing down.

It exuded a chilling aura, with scales radiating an eerie blue glow.

The Netherworld Python now had a clear goal, charging toward the magnificent yet infinitely mysterious dark aurora horizon.

Its speed was unbelievable, as if traversing a land without obstacles.

It treated the formidable Heaven and Earth Restriction as non-existent, with a single-minded focus on crossing through.

Just as the colossal, sinister head of the Netherworld Python was about to make contact with the dark aurora horizon!

"What!"

The Python let out a startled, furious roar, as its body suddenly halted mid-air at the last critical instant.

Its scales bristled all over, and a dazzling blue light burst forth.

In an extraordinary display of agility, the giant body twisted sharply, transforming into a bolt of black lightning, sidestepping several kilometers away.

"Boom——!!!"

Almost simultaneously, a brilliant blade of purple flame ripped through the sky, slashing down with devastating force at the Netherworld Python’s previous location.

The purple flame also swirled with traces of black and golden light, exuding a chillingly destructive aura.

Empowered by the divine black and gold flame, anything the purple flame blade swept through was reduced to nothingness!

The terrifying heat of the purple flame blade instantly vaporized the seawater within several kilometers, sending plumes of steam sweeping skyward like enraged dragons.

The entwined purple flame and black gold light painted the sea’s surface with a magnificent yet lethal glow, transforming the whole area into a colossal steamer.

The Netherworld Python reappeared in the distance, its eyes filled with fright.

What was that!
