354: Chapter 354 Fighting a Golden Immortal

He crashed through the Void Realm repeatedly, finally smashing heavily into a ten-thousand-zhang peak in the distance with a "boom," buried under countless boulders, his fate unknown.

"Lier!"

Seeing this, Qin Mengyao, who was confined to the deck of the immortal ship, felt as if her heart were being twisted by a knife, and tears of despair instantly streamed down her face.

She tried desperately to break free from the pressure of the Half-step Golden Immortal, even willing to self-detonate her Primordial Spirit to secure a slim chance of survival for her son, yet she found to her sorrow that in the face of such absolute power, she could not even end her own life and could only watch the tragedy unfold.

"Jie jie jie... Despair! Become food for this Emperor's blood!"

In that suffocating instant, the completely demonized Sky-Swallowing Lion Emperor had already charged to the front.

His nine hideous heads opened their bloody maws simultaneously, and his incomparably sharp claws, carrying the terrifying devilish power of a Profound Immortal Perfection, clawed fiercely at the crumbling defensive light screen in front of Gu Qingxue.

In just half a breath, this light screen would completely shatter, and all the female cultivators on the deck would be torn to shreds!

Gu Qingxue gritted her teeth, a look of resolve flashing in her eyes: "Even if I die, I will never allow you monsters to defile the integrity of Qingyun!" She was prepared to perish together with them.

However, at this critical moment when everyone was in a state of certain death.

"Chi—"

A sword light that was not brilliant, yet blinding to the extreme, as if it could sever all Karma in the world, sliced through the hopeless eternal darkness without warning.

That sword light was too fast, transcending the passage of time.

It was not formed from ordinary immortal power, but from Chaos Qi that was pure to the extreme and incredibly heavy, compressed to its absolute limit.

Within the sword light, there was a faint, terrifying Phenomenon of the separation of the clear and turbid and the reenactment of earth, water, fire, and wind, exuding a supreme sharpness like the creation of heaven and earth!

"Hmm? What is..."

In the Sky-Swallowing Lion Emperor's nine pairs of frenzied eyes, a hint of bewilderment and confusion had just appeared.

"Puchi!"

A soft but clear sound of flesh being severed rang out.

The sword light, like a breeze, gently brushed past the Sky-Swallowing Lion Emperor's necks.

The Sky-Swallowing Lion Emperor's massive body suddenly froze in mid-air, and he didn't even have time to let out a final scream.

In the next second.

His nine mountain-like, hideous heads flew up in unison like ripe apples! Scalding, foul-smelling black devil blood erupted from the mirror-smooth severed necks like nine fountains, staining half the sky red.

This powerhouse of the Primordial Royal Race, who had not hesitated to fall into demonhood for power and whose strength was infinitely close to Profound Immortal Perfection, was killed instantly by this startling sword light! His Primordial Spirit, which tried to flee, had all its life force directly erased by that world-opening sharpness the moment it touched the Chaos sword light.

"Who is it?! How dare you ruin my plans!"

Demon Venerable Rahu suddenly turned his massive head, and for the first time, a light of gravity and shock-filled anger burst from his originally mocking crimson eyes.

His gaze was fixed on a certain point in the Void Realm ahead of the immortal ship, his entire body's Devilish Qi churning violently like boiling water.

"To dare touch my women and son, you old monster, you must be tired of living."

Accompanied by a voice that was extremely cold yet filled with boundless dominance, the originally calm Void Realm suddenly rippled like water.

Lu Yuan appeared in spotless white robes, his sleeves fluttering in the astral winds.

In his right hand, he held a three-foot divine sword condensed entirely from gray Chaos Qi, looking like a peerless Immortal King patrolling the heavens, stepping calmly out of the Void Realm.

He walked directly to the space above the deck of the immortal ship, his tall and upright figure standing firmly in front of Gu Qingxue and the other women.

He slightly raised his head, looking directly at the ten-thousand-zhang tall Demon Venerable Rahu, who exuded overwhelming devilish power, his deep eyes cold as ice, without a hint of fear.

"Husband!"

"It's Husband! Husband is back!"

Seeing Lu Yuan's familiar and reassuring back, the women, who had been in the depths of despair, felt the mountain on their hearts instantly crumble.

A trace of color finally returned to the paper-white cheeks of Gu Qingxue, Qin Mengyao, and the others, hope for survival rekindled in their eyes as tears fell uncontrollably.

As long as Husband was there, even if the sky fell, they would feel completely at ease.

"Oh? So it's another ant who doesn't know death."

Demon Venerable Rahu looked down at Lu Yuan from his height, his massive Divine Sense instantly sweeping over Lu Yuan's body.

When he noticed the aura fluctuations on Lu Yuan, the gravity in his eyes immediately turned into extreme disdain.

"A mere junior who has just entered the Profound Immortal Early Stage dares to shout so arrogantly before me?"

Demon Venerable Rahu's voice boomed like ten thousand thunders, making the Void Realm tremble: "That sword strike just now was merely relying on some secret technique that consumes the Origin! Even if I am currently in a diminished state, only having Half-step Golden Immortal combat power, crushing you is no different from crushing a bedbug!"

"Profound Immortal Early Stage?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan did not get angry; instead, his lips curled into an overt arc of mockery.

He gently stroked the blade of the Chaos Divine Sword in his hand, feeling the abyss-like, endless power of the "Undying Heavenly Art" within him, his tone as flat as if stating a fact:

"To kill an old, hollow waste like you, it is enough."

"Utterly arrogant! Today, I shall let you know the might of a Golden Immortal and the chasm between us!"

Demon Venerable Rahu was completely incensed by Lu Yuan's contempt.

As an ancient overlord, when had he ever been so insulted by a Profound Immortal? He said no more and directly used his true trump card.

"Demon Realm Descent!"

Demon Venerable Rahu let out a roar that shook the nine heavens and took a sudden step forward.

The Laws of a Half-step Golden Immortal, involving the Great Dao's Origin, erupted fully at this moment!

"Boom—!"

Centered on Demon Venerable Rahu, the heaven and earth of the Xuanhuang Realm for a million miles around were completely enveloped in an instant by a pitch-black demonic Domain as thick as ink.

Within this terrifying demonic Domain, the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth was instantly drained, and all Immortal Dao Laws and Five Elements forces were forcefully expelled.

Only the purest destruction, slaughter, and despair remained! In this Domain, he, Rahu, was the sole Dominator!

"Just this? And you dare call it a realm?"

Facing this world-changing demonic Domain, Lu Yuan's eyes remained unruffled as he let out a cold snort.

"Chaos Domain, open!"
