Chapter 480: Chapter 7: Ten Thousand Miles Soul-Locking Mirror (2)
’Nine Illusion Mirage Demon Qi! The Nine Illusions Mirage Demon Scripture! No wonder he can use all sorts of tricks from the Western Demon Sect!’
Tribulation Sea Old Demon looked at the Seven Yin Evil Demon struggling in his grasp. With a squeeze, he directly crushed the life out of it.
He hastily took out the Ten Thousand Miles Soul-Locking Mirror. On its surface, nine Celestial Demon Marks had already vanished, which meant his Powerful White Bone Demons had caught up to their targets.
And yet, despite ten targets being eliminated, the number of light dots on the Ten Thousand Miles Soul-Locking Mirror hadn’t decreased in the slightest.
Tribulation Sea Old Demon could only grit his teeth and fly toward the farthest Celestial Demon Mark, which was on the verge of escaping the Ten Thousand Miles Soul-Locking Mirror’s range.
The Xuyu Coral was a priceless treasure. He would never resign himself to it falling into someone else’s hands.
Rushing back and forth, hunting down the targets branded with Celestial Demon Marks, even Tribulation Sea Old Demon with his Nascent Soul Realm Magical Power could feel his Dantian starting to run empty.
He clutched the Ten Thousand Miles Soul-Locking Mirror with a crazed obsession.
"Seventeen left! Seventeen left!"
For the past twelve days, he and his seventeen Powerful White Bone Demons had barely rested, relentlessly hunting that damned little thief through the sea.
Although Tribulation Sea Old Demon was a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, even he couldn’t act recklessly in these waters. During these twelve days, he had gotten into a skirmish with a Nascent Soul Demon King from the Demon Realm and traded several blows.
Worse, he had suffered heavy losses among his painstakingly refined Powerful White Bone Demons, losing a total of five.
Even with his vast resources, the loss made his heart ache, and his hatred for the thief who stole his Xuyu Coral burned to the bone.
"You can’t run for much longer!"
-----------------
At this moment, Yang Jing was also fleeing through the sea. He possessed the Divine Technique of Sword Heart Clarity, making his senses acutely sharp to danger. For the past twelve days, he had frequently sensed a heart-pounding threat.
Clearly, that Tribulation Sea Old Demon had already chased him to this region of the sea.
This sense of crisis grew clearer with each passing day. By today, Yang Jing was feeling that heart-stopping dread almost constantly.
’That Tribulation Sea Old Demon’s methods are even more formidable than I expected.’
Yang Jing had managed to get so many Celestial Demons and Demon Monsters branded with the Celestial Demon Mark, yet most of them had been cleaned up in just over ten days.
’It seems that Tribulation Sea Old Demon still has quite a few Powerful White Bone Demons on hand.’
The conclusion immediately formed in his mind.
’To completely wear away the Celestial Demon Mark, I’ll need at least three more days. I’m afraid I won’t make it.’
Yang Jing calculated silently.
From this point on, even with incredible luck, he was bound to be caught by a Powerful White Bone Demon.
These Powerful White Bone Demons, refined using a Secret Technique, possessed Power far beyond that of an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator. Even Yang Jing would have to use every trick up his sleeve to destroy one.
If one of them managed to pin him down, even if Yang Jing killed it, his identity would be exposed to Tribulation Sea Old Demon.
’It seems I have no choice but to use that plan!’
Yang Jing stood still in the sea, gazing at the distant Demon Realm. Having made up his mind, he changed direction and dove straight into it, concealing his presence with the Nine Illusion Mirage Demon Qi.
Inside the Demon Realm, the Demonic Qi was extremely dense, far surpassing the former site of the Nine Yang Sect. Yang Jing felt his Magical Power being suppressed, but fortunately, his various Divine Techniques were unaffected.
He simply gave up on using his own Escape Form and had Ten Thousand Transformations create a Tunneling Light to carry him as they traveled through the Demon Realm.
This Demon Realm was vast. Relying on the Nine Illusion Mirage Demon Qi to hide his presence, Yang Jing tunneled forward at full speed.
Upon entering the Demon Realm, the threat he felt from Tribulation Sea Old Demon immediately lessened. However, the countless other threats, big and small, within the Demon Realm made his skin crawl as if he were sitting on pins and needles.
Among them, there were three sources of immense threat on par with Tribulation Sea Old Demon. This Demon Realm was home to at least three Demon Kings equivalent to Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Yang Jing wasn’t surprised. After all, this underwater Demon Realm was different from the one at the Nine Yang Sect’s ruins. This place was practically a direct gateway to the Outer Realm. All kinds of Celestial Demons could come and go as they pleased, completely ignoring the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane. Even a Demon Venerable, equivalent to a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, could personally descend into this Demon Realm.
He took a deep breath and, contrary to expectation, tunneled straight toward the location of the greatest demonic threat.
As Yang Jing flew, he activated his Grotto Dark Dharma Eye to search for a suitable target.
The Demon Realm was vast, after all, and Outer Celestial Demons of all kinds were everywhere. They came in all sorts of strange and bizarre shapes, and some weren’t even recorded in the Nine Heavens Secret Demon Profound Scripture.
After all, the Nine Heavens Secret Demon Profound Scripture had been compiled tens of thousands of years ago.
Suddenly, Yang Jing quietly slowed his Tunneling Light. He had found a suitable target.
It was a Starfall True Demon, equivalent to a Golden Core Cultivator.
Yang Jing had already refined countless such True Demons and was thoroughly familiar with them—he probably knew them better than they knew themselves. With practiced ease, he stealthily approached the Starfall True Demon’s side, released dense layers of Nine Illusion Mirage Demon Qi to obscure the area, and then reached out to press a hand against its back.
The Starfall True Demon was startled and about to retaliate when countless Demon-Catching Chains suddenly appeared and bound it tightly.
Yang Jing formed a blade with his fingers and plunged it directly into the Starfall True Demon’s body. A surge of Celestial True Gang grievously wounded it.
First, he activated his Grotto Dark Dharma Eye, examining every minute detail of the Starfall True Demon. Then, he pulled the True Demon into his Inner World. With a shake, he transformed, taking on the appearance of the Starfall True Demon.
As a Great Celestial Demon, the Starfall True Demon was not a social creature and enjoyed devouring other Celestial Demons. Consequently, there were almost no other Celestial Demons near its lair. When Yang Jing secretly replaced it, no one noticed.
To be on the safe side, Yang Jing, still in the guise of the Starfall True Demon, cleared out all the other Celestial Demons within a hundred-mile radius.
Only after pulling the last Celestial Demon into his Inner World did he return to the Starfall True Demon’s lair.
He had been in the lair for less than half an hour when a warning flared in his mind.
The next instant, a ferocious-looking Powerful White Bone Demon descended from above. It spread its claws and lunged, trying to tear at Yang Jing.
The Starfall True Demon, who was actually Yang Jing in disguise, feigned a look of shock and crossed its arms to block.
The Powerful White Bone Demon’s hooked claws scraped against his body, sending sparks flying and stone chips scattering.
Yang Jing let out a furious roar and slammed a backhand punch into the Powerful White Bone Demon’s head.
But the Powerful White Bone Demon’s body was as tough as steel. Even a Sword Cultivator’s Flying Sword could only leave shallow marks on it. The punch merely snapped its head back but failed to injure it in the slightest.
Seeing this, the Starfall True Demon that Yang Jing had become immediately turned and fled, tunneling toward the Nascent Soul Demon King he had sensed earlier.
’He appears to be in a desperate plight, but inwardly he was overjoyed. ’It’s a Powerful White Bone Demon that’s chasing me. My gamble paid off.’
If Tribulation Sea Old Demon himself had come, he would have been forced to use his one Great Five Elements Heavenly Escape Talisman here.
The Powerful White Bone Demon hadn’t expected the Starfall True Demon to flee so readily. Wreathed in roiling Demon Fire, it gave chase.
Its attacks rained down on the Starfall True Demon. Yang Jing only blocked the blows aimed at his vital spots, occasionally striking back.
Suddenly, a thunderous, enraged roar echoed from the heavens:
"So, Tribulation Sea Old Demon! I give you some face, and you dare send your Corpse Monsters into my Demon Realm to kill my subordinates!"
The next moment, Demonic Qi suddenly surged like a tide within the Demon Realm, coalescing in the seawater to form a crimson Demon Moon. An instant later, a beam of desolate, cold moonlight shot down from it.
As the moonlight bathed the Powerful White Bone Demon, the raging Demon Fire covering its body was instantly extinguished. Layers of black frost immediately coated its tough, white bones.
The frigid, demonic light even froze the surrounding seawater into solid ice as black as crystal.
Under the corrosion of the Taiyin Demon Qi, the Powerful White Bone Demon’s bones, once harder than the toughest metal, immediately began to turn brittle, crumbling into a pile of bone dust.
