480: Chapter 480 Suppressing Jialan, Discovering the Plan!

He did not unsheathe his sword, nor did he summon any Magic Treasure.

Facing such a Golden Immortal Peak Heavenly Demon Soul fragment, an ordinary Cultivator would certainly exhaust all their strength and reveal all their trump cards.

But Lu Yuan merely raised his right hand, and the space in his palm suddenly began to tremble.

"Boom—"

Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength activated! Eight hundred million elephant power surged within his body, as if eight hundred million ancient divine elephants were trampling the earth simultaneously; that pure force was enough to nearly tear apart the surrounding Void Realm.

The four walls of the palace hummed, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground; had it not been for the Formation Lu Yuan had set up in advance to suppress it, the entire Azure Cloud Peak might have collapsed under such power.

At the same time, the Law of Reincarnation surged crazily from within his body, transforming into countless black and white intertwined ribbons of light that coiled around his arm.

These ribbons of light emitted an aura that seemed to contain the mysteries of life and death, and the Karma of the past and future.

When the power of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength intertwined with the power of the Law of Reincarnation, Lu Yuan's entire right arm was enveloped in a layer of Chaos-colored light.

"Spear of the Underworld God!"

Lu Yuan shouted in a low voice, his five fingers clenching abruptly.

"Hum—"

Within his palm, a pitch-black long spear slowly condensed into shape.

This long spear was pitch-black throughout, its shaft covered in dense runes of Hell; each rune seemed to writhe slowly like a living creature, emitting a pressure that judged all spirits and decided life and death.

At the spear tip, a ball of heart-palpitating black lightning gathered, which was the pure power of destruction.

With the long spear in hand, the surrounding air became viscous.

The Jialan Heavenly Demon Soul fragment stared fixedly at that long spear, her pupils suddenly contracting to the size of needlepoints; she sensed a suppression of Law from it that transcended the Golden Immortal level.

"Go."

Lu Yuan threw it lightly, his movement as casual as discarding a piece of trash.

"Shh—"

The Spear of the Underworld God transformed into a bolt of lightning, its speed so fast that even Divine Sense could hardly capture it.

Wherever it passed, space collapsed inch by inch, leaving behind a pitch-black trail.

The Law of Reincarnation carried on the spear erupted first, transforming into countless invisible chains that completely disrupted the flow of time around the Jialan Heavenly Demon Soul fragment, not even giving her time to form the thought of dodging.

"No—"

In the eyes of the Jialan Heavenly Demon Soul fragment, the Spear of the Underworld God pierced her chest with pinpoint accuracy.

"Ah—"

A shrill scream erupted from the mouth of the Jialan Heavenly Demon Soul fragment.

Pain! Pain deep into the bone marrow, pain piercing the Soul! The runes of Hell on the Spear of the Underworld God were like living demons, crazily tearing at her Divine Soul, while the Law of Reincarnation crushed her consciousness like a millstone, intending to completely erase it.

However, this shrill scream was tightly locked within the sleeping quarters by the sound-insulation Formation Lu Yuan had set up in advance.

In the side hall separated by a door, Gu Qingxue was still sleeping peacefully, with a serene smile on her face, completely unaware that a crushing massacre was taking place just on the other side of the door.

"No! I am Jialan Heavenly Demon! I am Golden Immortal Peak! You cannot kill me!" The Jialan Heavenly Demon Soul fragment felt a true threat of death; that fear, originating from the depths of her Soul, caused her to completely collapse.

She struggled desperately, screeching: "Spare me! I will tell you all the plans of the Underworld! The deployments of the Rahu Heavenly Venerate, the troop distribution of the Asura Royal Clan, the hidden coordinates of the Yaksha Clan... I know them all! I can be your inside man, helping you lure those idiots in to wipe them all out!"

Her voice was full of pleading; the dignity of a Heavenly Demon of the past was gone at this moment.

"Not necessary."

Lu Yuan's tone was chilling, his thin lips curling slightly to outline a cold smile: "Your memories, I will take them myself."

He formed his fingers into a blade and stabbed directly into the center of the Jialan Heavenly Demon Soul fragment's brow.

Soul Search!

"Search—"

A domineering power of Divine Sense forcibly broke through the Jialan Heavenly Demon Soul fragment's defenses, like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, turning every corner of her memories upside down.

The specific deployments of the four major forces of the Underworld... the marching routes of the Asura Royal Clan... the hidden coordinates of the Yaksha Clan... as well as the exact time they would assemble at the edge of the Universe, preparing to blast open the boundary wall.

All plans were now in full view.

"So that's it, a full-scale attack in half a year?" Lu Yuan finished sorting through all the memories, the Killing Intent in his eyes intensifying, a tangible cold light: "To deal with my Qingyun Dao Sect, you really went to great lengths."

He withdrew his finger, looking coldly at the Jialan Heavenly Demon Soul fragment, who was already on the verge of death.

"Your mission is over."

"No... no..." the Jialan Heavenly Demon Soul fragment pleaded, a trace of begging still remaining in her eyes.

"Bang!"

Lu Yuan's Divine Sense shook violently, as if billions of thunderbolts exploded within the Sea of Consciousness of the Jialan Heavenly Demon Soul fragment.

Under that irresistible force, her final consciousness was completely crushed and erased clean, not even leaving behind a trace of residue.

After the once arrogant Heavenly Demon Soul fragment dissipated, a fist-sized ball of light emitting a soft glow floated in the air.

This was the Heavenly Demon Origin—pure, containing the complete Law of the Golden Immortal Peak level; every ray of light flowed with power that was pure to the extreme.

"Although the Heavenly Demon race is insidious and cunning, this power of Origin is genuine."

Lu Yuan reached out, holding the ball of light in his palm, examining it carefully.

Within the ball of light, one could vaguely see streaks of pitch-black Law patterns, which were the essence of cultivation condensed by Jialan Heavenly Demon over hundreds of thousands of years of practice.

Most importantly, after the strangulation by the Law of Reincarnation and the crushing by Divine Sense, all negative consciousness and Impurities in this Origin had been stripped away, making it as pure as a newborn infant.

"Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, refine."

Lu Yuan circulated the Demonic Technique, and a vortex appeared in his palm.

The Heavenly Demon Origin spun rapidly in the vortex, and the last remaining trace of Jialan's aura within it was completely eliminated.

Strands of Immortal Dao Laws were extracted and merged with the life essence.

A moment later, the ball of light became crystal clear, like the purest glaze in the world.

After doing all this, Lu Yuan restrained all his Killing Intent and turned to walk towards the bed.

When he saw Gu Qingxue still sleeping peacefully, the coldness and slaughter in his eyes melted like ice and snow, replaced by a look of tenderness.

Moonlight shone through the lattice window onto Gu Qingxue; she lay on her side on the bed, her hands unconsciously protecting her lower abdomen, her face radiating a maternal glow.

At her lower abdomen, purple-gold Immortal light rose and fell like the tide, one wave stronger than the last; it was the fetus within her body autonomously absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Lu Yuan placed his hand on Gu Qingxue's lower abdomen; a warm sensation came from his palm, and he could feel the vibrant vitality contained within the fetus.

"Qingcheng, Daddy has prepared a big gift for you."

His voice was as soft as a murmur, for fear of disturbing his wife's sweet dream.

Lu Yuan slowly injected the purified Heavenly Demon Origin into the fetus's body.

The power of Origin turned into strands of warm currents, penetrating into her not-yet-fully-formed Meridians and Dantian like spring rain moistening everything.
