357: Chapter 357 Refining the Demon Lord, His Realm Soars!

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, and a dazzling light of time and space erupted from his eyes.

"Carefree Heavenly Saber! Slash!"

He did not use the Chaos Divine Sword; instead, he pressed his index and middle fingers together, using his fingers as a blade.

He did not slash this saber at the Demon Venerable physically present before him. Instead, following the Karma lines in the Void Realm, he slashed this saber towards... Demon Venerable Rahu’s "past" from a tenth of a breath ago!

This slash contained a faint yet extremely profound Time-Space Law.

Although it could not cause any substantial fatal damage to a Half-step Golden Immortal because Lu Yuan's Realm was insufficient, at this instant, it successfully severed a sliver of the connection between the Demon Venerable and the reality of time and space, severely interfering with the Demon Venerable's perception and Space-Time Coordinate System in that moment.

"What?! This feeling..."

Demon Venerable Rahu, who was preparing to throw a punch at Lu Li, only felt his vision blur inexplicably.

An extremely brief but fatal moment of trance appeared in his Divine Sense, as if his Soul had been pulled out of his body in that instant, resulting in a distinct pause.

And at the moment this momentary flaw appeared.

"Xing Character Secret! Ultimate!"

Lu Yuan's figure instantly became illusory.

He did not attack the Demon Venerable. Instead, like a bolt of lightning that crossed time and space, he plunged headlong into the bottom of the Immortal Burial Abyss, where Devilish Qi churned and the depth was bottomless!

The world at the bottom of the abyss was pitch black, and even Divine Sense was greatly restricted.

This place was filled with extremely evil Devilish Qi that could easily corrode the physical body of a Profound Immortal.

But under Lu Yuan's Dual Pupils, he saw the very center of the abyss bottom at a glance.

There, a strange stone the size of a millstone was suspended. It was pitch black all over, yet its surface was covered with blood-colored runes that writhed like living creatures.

This stone was like a beating heart, frantically breathing and transforming the negative energy deep within the Xuanhuang Realm's earth veins at a terrifying frequency, continuously supplying it to the Demon Venerable above.

world heart demonic stone!

"I finally found you."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes, without any hesitation or pause.

He tightly gripped the divine sword condensed from Chaos Qi with both hands and let out a roar that shook the Nine Serenities.

He poured all the True Immortal power within his body, his vast Chaos Qi and blood, and all the explosive power that the Undying Heavenly Art could stimulate into the divine sword without reservation or restraint!

"Open... HEAVEN!!!"

A ten-thousand-foot-long Purple-Gold Sword Light, illuminating the entire Nine Serenities abyss, surged upward from the bottom! This sword light carried an unquestionable supreme sharpness that could sever all Karma and shatter all fate, heavily and fiercely hacking onto that beating world heart demonic stone!

"Crack—!!!"

An extremely crisp sound of shattering, which made the entire Immortal Burial Abyss pause, echoed clearly in the silent bottom of the abyss.

That world heart demonic stone, which had lasted through eternal ages and was claimed to be indestructible by anyone below a Golden Immortal, was instantly covered with terrifying cracks as dense as a spiderweb under Lu Yuan's ultimate strike, which utilized all his trump cards and nearly drained him dry!

The next second.

"Boom—!!!"

The world heart demonic stone could no longer withstand the internal power going haywire. With a dull explosion, it completely shattered into a cloud of black dust and dissipated into nothingness!

At the same time.

In mid-air, Demon Venerable Rahu, who had just broken free from the temporal trance and was about to crush Lu Li and the Immortal Vessel together, saw his mountain-like movements suddenly and strangely freeze!

"Ah—!!!"

Immediately after, a scream so shrill it seemed like he was suffering the pain of a thousand cuts erupted from Demon Venerable Rahu's mouth, shattering the clouds across the sky!

Demon Venerable Rahu discovered in horror that the vast, seemingly endless Half-step Golden Immortal power within his body was now like a giant water tank with its plug forcibly pulled out! His Origin power and the Demonic Path Law he took pride in were frantically leaking and dissipating at a terrifying speed that made him feel despair!

That continuous supply of Devilish Qi had been completely cut off!

With the shattering of the world heart demonic stone, his pseudo-immortal Formation trait also vanished without a trace, like melting snow under a blazing sun!

In just a single breath, Demon Venerable Rahu's terrifying Half-step Golden Immortal aura, which had previously weighed down the Xuanhuang Realm so much it couldn't breathe, plummeted like an avalanche! It crashed all the way down, finally coming to a dead stop at the Profound Immortal Perfection Realm, and his aura was still fluctuating violently due to the backlash of his Origin!

"No! This is impossible! My Origin! My world heart demonic stone! That was the Foundation for this deity's restoration! Who?! Who exactly did this!"

Demon Venerable Rahu's massive body stumbled back two steps in mid-air. He clutched his chest in horror, his crimson eyes now filled only with endless despair, panic, and disbelief.

How could he, a dignified ancient Demon Venerable, be defeated so inexplicably!

"Taking your life while you're down. Old monster, your era is completely over."

A voice as cold as if it came from the Nine Serenities of Hell, pronouncing a death sentence, rang out ominously behind Demon Venerable Rahu without warning.

Demon Venerable Rahu's entire body stiffened, and he turned his head with difficulty.

He saw Lu Yuan had already returned from the bottom of the abyss at some unknown time.

Although his face was slightly pale, his eyes were as cold as a god of death, without a single ripple of emotion.

"Heaven Devouring Demonic Art! Full activation!"

Lu Yuan gave Demon Venerable Rahu no chance to beg for mercy or counterattack; he suddenly spread his arms wide.

At the center of his chest, a terrifying black hole more than ten times larger than when he had devoured others before, capable of swallowing even light, instantly formed and began to rotate and expand frantically!

"Devour!!!"

Having lost his undying trait and with his Realm plummeted to Profound Immortal Perfection, Demon Venerable Rahu was no longer a high-and-mighty ancient demon god in the eyes of Lu Yuan, who was using the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art. He was merely a piece of peerless tonic, defenseless and emitting an enticing fragrance!

"No!!! You cannot devour me! I am the Incarnation of an ancient Golden Immortal's obsession! If you devour me, the Demon Realm's army will never let you go! Let me go, I am willing to submit... AHHH!!!"

Amidst Demon Venerable Rahu's shrill screams of fear, resentment, and despair, that irresistible terrifying suction instantly enveloped him.

That huge, deep black hole, like the open mouth of an ancient Vicious Beast, completely swallowed and pulled in his ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic body without leaving a single trace!

"Rumble—!!!"

The moment Demon Venerable Rahu was devoured, it felt as if ten thousand volcanoes had erupted simultaneously within Lu Yuan's body!

As this vast energy—which, despite the drop in Realm, still essentially contained a sliver of pure Half-step Golden Immortal Origin—poured frantically into his limbs and bones, the aura within Lu Yuan's body began to skyrocket at an appalling speed, like a rocket without any limits!
