Chapter 484: The Great Battle’s Curtain Call
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
Roc Fiend and Old Fiend Fire Puppet found it unbelievable.
An eighth firmament Skydemon was considered a demon king of an area in the Three Realms! In situations where Sagedemon mighty figures were unable to make an appearance, demons that reached the seventh firmament were considered demon leaders of a region, gaining the title of Demon King. Examples were Demon King Prestige Goat and Demon King Bear Mountain. Yet, one who had earned the title of Demon King had died in the Dragon Mountain world!
Furthermore, he had lost his life while joining forces with Roc Fiend.
"You killed Prestige Goat?" Roc Fiend glared at Qin Yun, his eyes filled with bloodlust and anger. Prestige Goat had been his lifelong buddy.
"This Qin Yun is actually quite strong. If not for Roc Fiend and Demon King Prestige Goat, I would have had to fight him one on one..." Old Fiend Fire Puppet, who was controlling the puppets remotely from inside the Earth Fire Hall, felt his heart jolt. "A great divine power like the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm can completely repress me. I might not even be as capable as Prestige Goat in melee combat. If I really have to fight him one on one, I’ll probably share the same outcome as Prestige Goat!"
Old Fiend Fire Puppet was shuddering in fear!
The sense of horror lingered!
He was truly lucky!
He was the one who nearly died.
"This Essence Soul sword immortal might not be full of conspicuous strength, but he truly came to the Dragon Mountain world prepared to kill me." Old Fiend Fire Puppet was alarmed. "How long has he been cultivating? If this continues, does he plan to cultivate in enough divine powers as an Essence Soul to match a mighty figure?"
There were no lack of instances in the Three Realms of cultivators staying in the Essence Soul realm to cultivate in great divine powers.
The most powerful Buddhist Arhats were all in the Arhat realms, but they had strength that matched that of Buddha.
The Daoists also had a few Earth Immortals, illustrious mighty figures in the Three Realms.
...
As Old Fiend Fire Puppet was still reeling in fear, Qin Yun did not stop at all.
"Old Fiend Fire Puppet, meet your maker!" Qin Yun looked at the distant Earth Fire Hall.
Shoo!
The Misty Rain Sword instantly transformed into a blinding sword flash.
The sword flash was resplendent, looking as though it would cleave apart the heaven and earth.
It had an earth-shattering might that could render the world asunder.
"Boom!" Although the Earth Fire Hall had layers of array formations, they shattered under Qin Yun’s terrifying strike.
While lots of rubble flew wantonly, a black beam of light flashed as it escaped out of the Earth Fire Hall in the direction of Roc Fiend.
"Brother Fire Puppet, let’s join forces to think of a way to kill him." Roc Fiend said via voice transmission, his voice filled with hate.
"Flee, flee quickly," was Old Fiend Fire Puppet’s response.
"What?" Roc Fiend was alarmed.
Old Fiend Fire Puppet had long activated twelve puppets to protect him. He quickly said via voice transmission, "Prestige Goat was already killed even when he joined forces with you! This Qin Yun represses even me! Now that his stellar forces permeate a region fifteen hundred kilometers around us, my puppets are restrained, weakening them greatly. Just half of his 360 stellar swords is enough to hold back my puppets. Without my puppets, I’m inferior to Prestige Goat!"
"You..." Roc Fiend was feeling very disgruntled.
He was not afraid.
Whether it was his flying means, his physical ability, or moves, he had enough abilities to make him in no way afraid of Qin Yun.
"Quickly help me escape," urged Old Fiend Fire Puppet frantically. "Do you think you can crack his protective great divine power?"
Roc Fiend was stunned.
Cracking the protective great divine power like the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Robes was indeed very difficult.
Previously, he believed that he might have a chance of cracking the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Robes and killing Qin Yun by combining forces with Old Fiend Fire Puppet’s twelve puppets! But it was clear that Old Fiend Fire Puppet was unwilling to take that risk.
Old Fiend Fire Puppet was extremely apprehensive. All he wanted was to flee! Roc Fiend knew he alone could do nothing to Qin Yun.
"Kill!"
The Misty Rain Sword and the numerous Swords of Stellar Light caught up to them once again and enveloped them.
The twelve puppets fought valiantly to fend them off.
"Quick, quick! If you do not take me with you, I’ll be fleeing by myself. I’ll be able to escape by wasting a life preservation item or two and self-destructing a few puppets at worst," said Old Fiend Fire Puppet frantically. "If that happens, all my losses will be on you. If Fiend Supremacy learns of it, he will definitely not treat your negligence lightly."
"Fine, fine, fine. I’ll take you with me." Roc Fiend grabbed Old Fiend Fire Puppet.
"Sou!"
Roc Fiend held Old Fiend Fire Puppet as his wings flapped. Instantly, they soared up into the sky.
Even with the stellar forces repressing them, they still flew at an extremely fast speed. There were twelve puppets behind them, protecting their retreat.
"What a fast speed." Qin Yun also charged into the sky as he began pursuit. However, he could only watch helplessly as Roc Fiend and Old Fiend Fire Puppet tore through the clouds. Only his Intrinsic Flying Sword and Swords of Stellar Light were able to penetrate the clouds to continue the pursuit.
"I heard that the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm’s membrane walls are difficult to crack," said Old Fiend Fire Puppet via voice transmission. They soon arrived at the membrane walls of the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm.
"Don’t worry." Roc Fiend opened his mouth.
Whoosh.
A golden thread flashed, pricking a hole in the extremely resilient Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm’s membrane wall. They charged out through the hole as the twelve puppets held back the Misty Rain Sword and Swords of Stellar Light that flew behind them. They were naturally a lot slower.
"The both of them fled?" When Qin Yun saw this, he turned his sights on the twelve puppets. "These puppets can forget about escaping."
"Seal!"
The Misty Rain Sword and the numerous Swords of Stellar Light which were attempting to pursue Roc Fiend and Old Fiend Fire Puppet switched targets to the twelve puppets.
"Whoosh—"
A flower bloomed as the sword flash flower petals spun.
The massive flower world trapped the twelve puppets completely.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The twelve puppets were extremely ferocious as they assaulted the flower world relentlessly.
However, as the most brilliant sword art in the Three Realms, the Rosa Multiflora Sword Chart fought might with calculation. Even if the enemy used their full strength, their power would be constantly weakened by the spinning flower world, greatly reducing the damage received.
This strike’s might could become Qin Yun’s killer blow because, firstly, the Rosa Multiflora Sword Chart was indeed powerful; and secondly, it was cast with 360 Swords of Stellar Light! The 360 Swords of Stellar Light formed by the initial success of the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm were extraordinary to begin with. Using them to cast the Rosa Multiflora Sword Chart was naturally an excellent combination.
"What about your puppets?" Roc Fiend and Old Fiend Fire Puppet had flown a great distance away as they looked back inside the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm.
Old Fiend Fire Puppet’s face was grim. "What can I do about it?"
"Boom!"
Trapped inside the flower world, one of the twelve puppets with an ox head roared angrily as it exploded with a boom. It instantly exceeded what the flower world could bear. With the boom, the sword flash petals were sent flying away in chaos. The explosion’s blast blew away more than fifty kilometers around, tearing through even the clouds below. Even a portion of Qin Yun’s 360 Swords of Stellar Light were dissipated as a result.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The remaining eleven puppets moved at a stunning speed as they continued flying high into the sky, straight for the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm’s membrane wall.
"Crack." With the golden thread pricking open the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm’s membrane wall from the outside, the eleven puppets escaped out of the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm.
Qin Yun, who was chasing from below, was too slow.
"I always believed that my flying speed was sufficiently fast, but compared to Roc Fiend or even these guardian puppets, who are adept at flying, I’m still far inferior. If I had engaged in Sword Kinesis Flight with my Intrinsic Flying Sword... perhaps I might reach about seventy to eighty percent of the twelve puppets’ speed?" thought Qin Yun. "However, I will still be inferior to Roc Fiend."
Roc Fiend was just too fast. In a blink of an eye, he had fled the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm with Old Fiend Fire Puppet.
"A true ninth firmament sword immortal is faster with Sword Kinesis Flight. Even if they might not be faster than Roc Fiend, they would be able to surpass these guardian puppets. Unfortunately, my Dharmic powers are still too weak," thought Qin Yun.
Far away, Roc Fiend and Old Fiend Fire Puppet were standing shoulder to shoulder. Old Fiend Fire Puppet waved his hand as the eleven puppets rapidly shrank and flew into his sleeve.
"What a pity. One puppet was wasted," said Roc Fiend.
"If I had not fled as fast as I did, the one being trapped in that flower world wouldn’t be the puppets but me." Old Fiend Fire Puppet’s eyes turned cold. "I was previously not concerned with this Essence Soul sword immortal who created a new sword immortal lineage in the Three Realms, but I never expected... an Essence Soul sword immortal would be able to make me suffer such dire losses. I had reconstructed Dragon Mountain world for so long, putting in so much effort to make it suit the refinement of puppets. Now, I have to give it up."
"Let’s go," said Roc Fiend. "This Qin Yun is already so strong at the Essence Soul realm. He will only get stronger in the future. There’s no chance for revenge even if you wanted it."
Old Fiend Fire Puppet turned aggrieved hearing that.
"Can’t you say something nice?"
"Let’s go." Roc Fiend couldn’t be bothered to speak further. Prestige Goat’s death displeased him greatly. He grabbed Old Fiend Fire Puppet—
Sou!
They rapidly flew into the stars and, with a Void Transference, vanished.
Qin Yun, who was standing amid the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm, saw this.
His target, Old Fiend Fire Puppet, had managed to escape!
"There were too many unforeseen circumstances. I never expected Roc Fiend and Prestige Goat Demon King to be here as well," thought Qin Yun.
