Chapter 448: Chapter 357: Confronting the Twisted Demon God
Meanwhile.
Many had also followed in the footsteps of legend, hoping to find the ’Unique True Realm’.
However, no one had ever heard of anyone succeeding.
It was as if the ’Unique True Realm’ was truly nothing more than a legend in the Sea of Chaos.
As for ’Postnatal Demon Gods’.
They were similar to the ’Twisted Demon God’ birthed by this world—not nurtured by the Sea of Chaos, but born afterward, hence the name ’Postnatal Demon God’.
The Power of Postnatal Demon Gods varied greatly.
The weaker ones might have just stepped into the Fourth Realm.
But the strongest Postnatal Demon Gods possessed Power sufficient to contend with true Innate Demon Gods.
Additionally, there was another point: every Innate Demon God possessed reason and intelligence. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Innate Demon Gods to rule over the All Heavens and Myriad Races.
But Postnatal Demon Gods were different.
Some Postnatal Demon Gods lacked reason and intelligence. Their consciousness was in a state of Chaos and distortion, and they acted purely on instinct.
Thus, these were the differences between Innate and Postnatal Demon Gods.
Undoubtedly, the ’Twisted Demon God’ birthed in Xu Qing’s current mission timeline was a ’Postnatal Demon God’. If it were an Innate Demon God, with Xu Qing’s current Power, it would be utterly impossible for him to fight it. The gap between them would be far too vast. Therefore, it had to be a Postnatal Demon God.
"Dao Rhythm Sword Puppets."
BZZT! BZZT!
With a single thought.
Xu Qing’s hands formed a series of Seal Formulas. They vanished into the Void as he began to contact the Dao Rhythm Sword Puppets he had left behind in this mission timeline.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Half an hour later, three figures appeared before Xu Qing. They were three Dao Rhythm Sword Puppets. Of the nine he had left here, only three remained; the other six had all been destroyed.
"Master!"
"We pay our respects, Master..."
The three Dao Rhythm Sword Puppets bowed to Xu Qing in salute.
"Mm."
Xu Qing nodded slightly. "Speak. What is the situation in this world? What have you found in your investigation?"
"Yes."
"As you command!"
"..."
The three Dao Rhythm Sword Puppets quickly reported the intelligence they had gathered over the past year. Through them, Xu Qing learned the full details of the situation.
"I see."
Xu Qing nodded slightly. "In that case, let’s set out immediately. Once I deal with the Twisted Demon God, I can leave this mission timeline."
It was important to note that.
If Xu Qing were to raise the Level of his Chaos Sword Dao in a distorted and collapsing timeline like this, he might be adversely affected by it.
Therefore, to be safe, Xu Qing planned to complete this C-Level Task first, return to his own territory, and then enter seclusion for Cultivation to raise the Level of his Chaos Sword Dao.
"Lead the way."
Xu Qing said, his hands clasped behind his back.
"Yes."
"As you command..."
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Three figures tore through the air as the three Dao Rhythm Sword Puppets led the way for Xu Qing.
BZZT!
Xu Qing transformed into an Escape Light and vanished.
"Master."
The scene shifted.
Within this mission timeline stood a majestic mountain peak that seemed to connect heaven and earth. It was like the spine of the world, a pillar propping up the sky.
This majestic peak was named: Buzhou Mountain.
Now, this mission timeline was on the verge of destruction. The Twisted Demon God had devoured and distorted over ninety percent of the Celestial Dao, and the last survivors of this timeline had gathered at the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
They were making their last stand.
"We have arrived at Buzhou Mountain."
The three Dao Rhythm Sword Puppets stopped and said to Xu Qing, "Master, this world’s last survivors are gathered at the summit of Buzhou Mountain, waging their final resistance against the Twisted Demon God."
"Based on the current situation,"
"they won’t be able to hold out for much longer. In a month at most, they will be overrun and corrupted by the Twisted Demon God’s Power. Once the last survivors of this world are all dead, the entire world will be completely destroyed, and the Twisted Demon God will be fully born."
"Mm."
Xu Qing nodded slightly. With his hands behind his back, he stood high in the firmament, looking down upon the magnificent summit of Buzhou Mountain.
Indeed, the scene before Xu Qing was exactly as the three Dao Rhythm Sword Puppets had described. The entirety of Buzhou Mountain was under siege.
And besieging Buzhou Mountain were the Twisted Demon God’s minions—savage, distorted demonic beasts of immense size. There were terrifying, corrosive Demon Dragons, bizarre nine-faced spider ladies, and sinister skeleton kings...
In short, Xu Qing saw all manner of the Demon God’s underlings...
On Buzhou Mountain.
The experts of this world were on their last legs. They could not absorb the world’s Heaven and Earth Energy, as doing so would lead to corruption by the twisted consciousness.
It was already a remarkable feat that they had managed to hold on for this long.
"KILL! KILL! KILL!!!"
"Go to hell!"
"Even if I die, I’m taking you with me!!!"
"Lackeys of the Demon God!"
"..."
BOOM! RUMBLE!!!
Roars, battle cries, and explosions echoed ceaselessly across the battlefield. One expert after another fell, and some of the Demon God’s minions were slain as well...
However, the Demon God’s minions seemed endless, and the terrifying Twisting Power continuously assaulted Buzhou Mountain.
Failure and death seemed to be a foregone conclusion.
All that remained was deep despair.
WHOOSH...
Xu Qing took a deep breath, his eyes glinting. "Sword, come!"
CLANG!
A sword hummed.
With a soft cry, Xu Qing raised his right hand. A supremely dazzling Sword Light bloomed, and the Level 10 Chaos Holy Sword landed in his grasp.
"Great Dao Sword Technique!"
BZZT!
Xu Qing lifted the Level 10 Chaos Holy Sword, raised it gently, then brought it down swiftly. Instantly, a resplendent Chaos Sword Lotus bloomed beneath the blade.
"Sword Lotus Technique!"
SWOOSH!
Xu Qing swung his sword. The Chaos Sword Lotus tore through the air and plunged into the battlefield with overwhelming force. The Sword Lotus bloomed, unleashing countless streams of Sword Qi.
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!!!
"AHHH!!!"
"..."
The next moment, countless agonizing screams rang out.
As Xu Qing’s sword fell, countless streams of Sword Qi erupted with devastating force, annihilating one minion of the Demon God after another. These demonic beasts were utterly defenseless, unable to withstand even a single strand of Xu Qing’s Chaos Sword Qi.
One sword strike.
Just one sword strike.
On the battlefield at the summit of Buzhou Mountain,
nearly ninety percent of the Demon God’s minions were dead, their bodies pierced and annihilated by the Chaos Sword Qi. Corpse after corpse rained down from the sky...
"Wh-what?!!!"
HISS...
"Th-this..."
"How could it be so terrifying!"
"Who is it? Which great expert is this?"
"..."
On the mountain summit, the experts of this mission timeline were aghast. Their faces showed utter shock and disbelief as they stared at the Chaos Sword Lotus with expressions of profound awe.
"All of you, stand down."
BZZT!
Xu Qing revealed himself. He stepped forward, the Level 10 Chaos Holy Sword in his right hand. Looking down upon the crowd from above, he said in a calm tone, "It’s time for this disaster to come to an end."
"S-Senior..."
"You..."
"..."
All around, the crowd gazed up at Xu Qing, their faces filled with awe and reverence.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!!!
Just then, Xu Qing’s move—annihilating nearly ninety percent of the Demon God’s minions with a single, terrifyingly powerful sword strike—thoroughly alarmed the Twisted Demon God.
And so, the Twisted Demon God was about to personally intervene.
BOOM! RUMBLE!!!
Xu Qing looked up and saw countless cracks appearing in the sky. Within those cracks, a pair of crimson eyes slowly emerged.
The eyes were impossibly huge. Each crimson orb was like a blood-red sun hanging high in the firmament, their gaze filled with endless madness, endless distortion, and endless destruction...
Of course, this was only a part of the Twisted Demon God—merely a pair of eyes. Its true form was boundlessly immense; what he was seeing now was just the tip of the iceberg.
