Chapter 477: Chapter 6: Celestial Demon Mark
Yang Jing recognized at a glance that the black streak was the Divine Fragment the Tribulation Sea Old Demon had implanted within the Powerful White Bone Divine Demon.
Even though he cultivated the Five Dragons Hibernation Scripture and had five Divine Dragons protecting his Sea of Consciousness, he didn’t dare risk being possessed by the Divine Fragment of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
A Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Divine Fragment was light and incorporeal, capable of crossing a thousand li in the blink of an eye within the Nine Heavens World. Yang Jing had tried various techniques, but unless he let the Divine Fragment collide with him on purpose as he did before, it was nearly impossible to land a hit during this treacherous chase.
However, continuing this game of cat and mouse within the Spiritual Acupoints was certainly not a long-term solution.
Considering the means at a Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator’s disposal, if this dragged on any longer, the Tribulation Sea Ancestor himself might arrive at the Spiritual Acupoints. By that point, Yang Jing’s Magical Power would be completely depleted from constant use of Thunder Escape, and he could only wait for death.
Yang Jing was not one to hesitate. Forming a hand seal for a spell, he let out a great shout.
"Five Fire! Wanhua!"
As the Artifact Spirits of his Magical Treasures, the Five Fire Child and the Wanhua Child were perfectly in sync with Yang Jing’s thoughts.
The Five Fire Child erupted with brilliant thunder, loosing bolts of Five Fire Divine Thunder that annihilated every Demon Cultivator and Celestial Demon within the Spiritual Acupoints, and even directly shattered the Seven Demons Absolute Evil Array guarding the area.
The Golden Core Demon Cultivator, Wu Chan, was still struggling with all his might to break free from the Celestial True Yang Lock Chain binding him. A single bolt of Five Fire True Thunder struck, and he, along with his two Child attendants, was instantly turned to ash.
The Five Fire Gourd flew back, transforming into a streak of light and returning to Yang Jing’s hand.
After the Five Fire Child struck, the Demon-Catching Tripod tipped over. An endless torrent of Great Sun Demon Fire and Taiyin Moonlight poured out, rampaging through the Spiritual Acupoints and completely wiping away all traces of Yang Jing’s actions.
The Demon Soul naturally knew Yang Jing was doing this to cover his tracks, so it pursued him even more relentlessly.
After completely destroying all traces, the Demon-Catching Tripod flew into the air, shrinking to the size of a fist.
Yang Jing executed his Thunder Escape, instantly pulling the tripod into his Inner World.
The next instant, the Tribulation Sea Old Demon’s Sub-Soul pounced, attempting to invade his body while he was retrieving the Magical Treasure.
In that hair’s breadth of a moment, Yang Jing activated Fetal Transformation into an Alien Form, instantly changing into a palm-sized carp to dodge the Sub-Soul’s seemingly unavoidable pounce.
The Sub-Soul possessed a portion of the Tribulation Sea Old Demon’s memories, but even with the Old Demon’s vast experience, it had never seen such a bizarre Magic Technique. It hesitated for just a moment, but that was enough for Yang Jing to use his Thunder Escape and reappear a thousand feet away.
With the Seven Demons Absolute Evil Array broken, the roiling seawater above began to pour down, flooding into the Spiritual Acupoints.
The Demonic Qi in the seawater violently clashed with the Spiritual Qi from the Spiritual Acupoints, giving rise to eerie, deep-purple bolts of lightning.
Enraged, the Tribulation Sea Old Demon’s Sub-Soul transformed into a streak of light and shot off in the direction of Yang Jing’s aura.
Sensing the Sub-Soul hot on his heels, Yang Jing pushed his Thunder Escape to the limit, covering several miles in the blink of an eye.
Because he was channeling his Magical Power so frantically, he vaguely sensed the upper limit of his output for the very first time.
In the deep sea, the dazzling light of his Thunder Escape was as conspicuous as a torch in the dark, instantly drawing the attention of countless Celestial Demons and Demon Monsters.
"Die!"
A group of Yin Demons, unable to dodge in time, blocked Yang Jing’s path. The instant his Thunder Escape paused, he unleashed the Red Dragon Magical Sword.
In the deep sea, the blazing Fire Element Magical Sword erupted with incredible heat, instantly annihilating the entire group of Yin Demons.
Just as the Divine Fragment was about to catch up, Yang Jing flashed with lightning, shifting sideways nearly a thousand feet before diving into the ground to travel using Earth Escape.
Only a moment later, however, Yang Jing was forced out of the ground.
The Tribulation Sea Old Demon must have cultivated some unknown Demon Scripture. The Sub-Soul he had created was fundamentally no different from a cultivator’s Nascent Soul; it could tunnel through the earth at will, and its speed was even greater than Yang Jing’s own Earth Escape.
The demonic light of the Sub-Soul was about to graze Yang Jing’s heels.
The next instant, a flash of lightning flared, and Yang Jing reappeared a thousand feet away.
The man and the Sub-Soul were locked in a chase through the sea, a region thick with Demonic Qi, that spanned over three hundred miles. Whether they were Celestial Demons, Demon Monsters, or other fiends, anything that blocked Yang Jing’s way was instantly slaughtered by his tyrannical techniques.
Though empowered by a Secret Technique and quite extraordinary, the Sub-Soul was, in the end, just a fragment split from a Nascent Soul for the purpose of controlling the Powerful White Bone Divine Demon.
After such a long chase, the Sub-Soul had also grown considerably weak, its aura steadily diminishing.
Yang Jing, fleeing ahead, was actually expending far more energy than the Sub-Soul, as his Thunder Escape had to transport his physical body. If not for his ability to constantly refine the Spiritual Qi within his Inner World to replenish his reserves, he would have run out of power long ago.
The brilliant light from Yang Jing’s Thunder Escape finally attracted the attention of a colossal Demon Monster. Who knew how many of its own kind it had devoured; it stood nearly a thousand feet tall, taking the form of a hundred-eyed giant. Its bloated, corpulent body was covered with countless demonic pupils.
All the demonic pupils on its body quivered violently, then suddenly swiveled to focus their collective gaze on Yang Jing.
A hundred dazzling beams of demonic light erupted, forming a crisscrossing demonic net that appeared directly in Yang Jing’s path.
Yang Jing snorted coldly.
"Courting death!"
The next instant, riding a streak of lightning amidst a clap of thunder, he instantly appeared above the Demon Monster’s head.
The Demon Monster was covered in demonic eyes. A dozen of them watched as the audacious cultivator simply held up a Gourd and pointed it at the monster.
