66: Destroy Hundred Demon Mountain

“Purgatory Demonic Body (Seventh Layer): Greatly enhances Physical Body strength, vitality, and recovery. Can absorb Lightning Tribulation, Yin Fiend, and Demonic Fiend Qi to temper the Physical Body. When actively activated, it condenses a Fiend Lightning Divine Armor, drastically increasing defensive power. The inherent Fiend Lightning can scorch enemies, and has a suppressive effect on Yin Souls and Demonic Fiends.”

“Heavenly Demon Hegemon Body (Fusion Skill): Formed by the Tribulation Thunder Hegemon Body, Heavenly Fiend Body Refining Art, and Purgatory Demonic Body. When activated, True Qi consumption doubles, grants immunity to all control-type spells, increases strength tenfold, Physical Body strength increases tenfold, and is surrounded by Fiend Lightning Tribulation Fire, doubling damage against evil and demonic creatures.”

Xiao Zhuo’s lips curled into a cold, sharp smile. The Purgatory Demonic Body, after Fusion, indeed possessed earth-shattering power! The Tribulation Thunder power of the Heavenly Thunder Quenching Gold Art and the fierce Fiend Qi of the Heavenly Fiend Body Refining Art perfectly blended. The Heavenly Demon Hegemon Body, this secret skill, was even more overbearing and peerless. Compared to the tenfold increase in combat power, the doubled True Qi consumption was utterly insignificant.

He stretched his limbs, and his joints crackled like popping beans. His physique, far from becoming burly, appeared even more compact and refined than before.

However, Xiao Zhuo clearly perceived that within this seemingly slender body, there lurked a terrifying immense power capable of tearing apart any King-rank Demon!

Stepping out of the courtyard gate, the night wind swept through the bamboo forest, and the rustling of leaves echoed like surging tides.

Xiao Zhuo looked down at the foot of the mountain. Thousands of lights illuminated the ruins, and Yuyang Sect Disciples and Qingyang City craftsmen moved about like worker ants.

Of Yuyang Sect’s three courtyards and Five Peaks, only the Prodigy Courtyard behind Wuzhen Peak remained intact. The Utility Disciple courtyard and outer courtyard at the foot of the mountain were reduced to broken walls and rubble.

If the Disciples hadn’t been moved to the Five Peaks in time, the outer and Utility Disciples might have all perished in the surprise attack on Hundred Demon Mountain.

Currently, reconstruction at the foot of the mountain was in full swing. The broken Zhenyang Peak had been reconnected by the Elder’s spell, and the Zhenyang Hall, though heavily damaged when it fell, had recovered seventy percent of its former appearance after repairs.

Fortunately, the Restriction within the hall was powerful, and the suppressed Demons were unable to escape; otherwise, who knew how many more disasters would have been added.

Xiao Zhuo’s gaze swept over the wooden building where True Man Xuanlun resided, then he lightly tapped his toes, and his figure transformed into a dazzling golden light, soaring into the vast sea of clouds and disappearing.

He went alone, straight to Hundred Demon Mountain, to settle the Karma!

With his current cultivation, the Silver Moon Venerable King had only a remnant Soul that escaped; the rest… were like ants!

Instantaneous technique fully activated! Amidst the sea of clouds, Xiao Zhuo’s body glowed with a faint golden light. Wherever he passed, the biting strong winds tore the thick cloud layers into countless wispy fragments.

In less than half an incense stick’s time, he was hovering above a basin.

“This is the Hundred Demon Mountain’s nest?” His Divine Sense, like an invisible tide, swept over a hundred-mile radius, then probed deep underground, repeatedly verifying it against Blood Cloud’s memories.

Confirming it was correct, he floated down, landing before a dark, massive boulder that would take ten people to encircle. His hand seals flickered, and a condensed spiritual light sank into the rock.

“Rumble—!”

With a muffled sound, the boulder split open, revealing a dark tunnel.

Everyone said Hundred Demon Mountain was a majestic and perilous Peak, but who knew its true form was a massive cave system hidden deep underground!

The Divine Sense illusion array set up by the King-rank Demon at the entrance was exquisite. Even a Divine Sea Realm Cultivator sitting on the rock to investigate would find it hard to discern. If Xiao Zhuo hadn’t already obtained this secret through Soul searching, even with his previous Divine Soul cultivation, he might not have discovered it without careful investigation.

The remaining Demons of Hundred Demon Mountain, they could only blame that dead Blood God Venerable King for being unwilling to set up a Divine Soul self-detonation Restriction for his useless son!

A cold light flashed in Xiao Zhuo’s eyes, and he strode into the tunnel.

Hundred Demon Mountain, the debt collector has arrived!

After traversing a winding, thirty-mile long tunnel descending downwards, his vision suddenly opened up. A glowing underground world appeared before him.

Thousands of stalactites hung like inverted sharp swords. Below, stone houses were arranged in a dense pattern, with the architecture becoming more beautiful the higher up it went. At the highest point of the dome, a magnificent palace, dozens of zhang tall, stood. Its architectural style was actually similar to that of the Human Race outside, presumably built by captured Human Race craftsmen.

Divine Sense instantly permeated the entire space. This place was about a hundred miles in radius, truly not small. Within a hundred miles, three King-rank auras, dozens of Calamity-Grade, hundreds of Nightmare Grade, and over ten thousand low-level Demons had nowhere to hide!

The stench of decaying corpses mixed with the pungent body odor of Demons assailed him, and Xiao Zhuo immediately sealed off his sense of smell.

Since he had found the demon lair, there was no longer any hesitation!

Xiao Zhuo flipped his palm, summoning the dragon blood saber, and a hundred-zhang crimson-gold saber light cleaved down from the sky!

“Boom—Crack!”

The ground split open in response, forming a massive five-mile-long gully! Wherever the saber light reached, groups of stone houses collapsed and shattered like rotten wooden blocks!

The saber light cascaded down like a waterfall from the Nine Heavens. Wherever it passed, Demons exploded into a sky full of blood mist! The dark underground world instantly transformed into a bloody Asura field!

“Who is this madman?! How dare you be presumptuous in my Hundred Demon Mountain?!” A bone-chillingly cold voice, carrying monstrous rage, boomed from the palace at the highest point of the dome!

Three figures shot out from the direction of the palace, instantly surrounding Xiao Zhuo!

Behind them, a surging torrent of Nightmare Grade and Calamity-Grade Demons, having reacted, followed.

The three King-ranks were: a ten-foot-tall Dragon Demon with a Human body, Dragon horns, and formidable scales; a Beautiful Woman in a black dress with black fleshy wings on her back and a seductive physique; and a fat Demon resembling a moving mountain of flesh.

The one who spoke was the leading Dragon Demon.

Xiao Zhuo seemed to ignore them. The dragon blood saber light in his hand did not stop, continuing to sweep away the Demons within his sight, and the panel’s Attribute Points notifications surged wildly!

Seeing that the opponent completely ignored him, the Dragon Demon’s face erupted with cold killing intent! Its Dragon claws ripped through the air, unleashing a hundred-zhang condensed claw Qi, imbued with the force of wind and thunder, and fiercely clawed at Xiao Zhuo’s head!

At the same time, the Beautiful Woman in the black dress pulled out a bone-white pipe, took a deep puff, and then fiercely exhaled towards Xiao Zhuo!

“Whoosh—!”

An overwhelming cloud of thick black smoke, carrying a strange suction force, instantly enveloped Xiao Zhuo!

And the flesh-mountain King-rank Demon stomped its thick short legs fiercely in the Void Realm, its massive body mysteriously disappearing from its original spot. The next instant, it appeared directly above Xiao Zhuo, descending like a meteor with immense force, pressing down heavily!

“Spatial displacement?” Xiao Zhuo had just annihilated a group of Demons. Seeing the three Demon King-ranks arrive together, a cold sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Facing the combined attack, he took a deep breath and exhaled fiercely forward!

“Whoosh—!”

A violent airflow surged backward! The thick black smoke that had enveloped him was actually blown back, forced to fly in reverse!

“What?!” The Beautiful Woman in the black dress’s expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly dodged.

The Nightmare Grade and Calamity-Grade Demons behind her, however, suffered terribly, instantly enveloped by the swirling thick smoke!

Amidst their shrill screams, the Demons’ internal moisture was frantically drained, and they shriveled and fell like dumplings into a pot.

Just in this flash of lightning, the Dragon Demon’s claw Qi and the terrifying crushing force from the flesh-mountain above simultaneously reached him!

Xiao Zhuo’s figure flickered! First, he threw an upward punch, simply and unpretentiously smashing into the abdomen of the descending flesh-mountain Demon!

“Bang—!” With a muffled thud, the massive flesh-mountain was sent flying backward like a cannonball, embedding itself fiercely into a distant rock wall!

At the same time, Xiao Zhuo’s other hand shot out like lightning, and with his bare hands, he precisely gripped the terrifying claw Qi that the Dragon Demon had torn through the air! With a clench and a pull of his five fingers!

“Ugh ah!” The Dragon Demon felt an irresistible, immense force. Its entire body was uncontrollably pulled off the ground, stumbling forward towards Xiao Zhuo! Its Dragon eyes were instantly filled with boundless terror!

A cold light burst from Xiao Zhuo’s eyes, no longer holding back!

The dragon blood saber in his hand transformed into a crimson-gold afterimage!

“Swish swish swish swish—!”

Saber light wove like a net! This King-rank Peak Dragon Demon didn’t even have time to utter a plea for mercy before its massive body was instantly dismembered into a sky full of flying blood and flesh fragments!

Xiao Zhuo’s thought moved, and a dodecahedral Soul Imprisonment instantly appeared, precisely trapping the Dragon Demon’s terrified Divine Soul!

“How is this possible?!” The Beautiful Woman in the black dress, who had just stabilized herself, witnessed this scene, her pupils shrinking, her eyes filled with horror! Dragon Flame was the third-ranked Demon in Hundred Demon Mountain, with King-rank Peak strength, yet in the hands of this mysterious Human Race… he couldn’t even last two moves?!

Fear instantly overwhelmed everything! Without hesitation, she flapped her fleshy wings, transforming into a black light, and turned to flee!

“Rumble!” At this moment, the flesh-mountain Demon, which had been blasted into the rock wall, abruptly pulled itself out, sending shattered rocks flying.

It shook its massive head, and on its body, it was… completely unharmed?!

Xiao Zhuo couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

Although his punch just now wasn’t at full strength, it was enough to severely injure an ordinary King-rank Middle Stage Demon. Yet this flesh-mountain took a punch head-on without any damage?

“A bit interesting.” Xiao Zhuo was slightly surprised but didn’t take it to heart.

Divine Soul power quietly surged, and an invisible Soul thorn, about ten feet long, suddenly condensed, infused with Divine Thought!

“Whoosh!”

The Soul thorn was silent, disappearing in an instant!

The flesh-mountain Demon, which was about to pounce on Xiao Zhuo again, suddenly stiffened, all its movements abruptly stopping!

“Boom—!”

Like a puppet whose strings had been cut, it crashed straight down, kicking up dozens of feet of dust!

“Killed a King-rank Tai Sui Demon, gained 7849 Attribute Points.”

The panel notification flashed.

At this moment, the Beautiful Woman in the black dress, like a startled bird, had fled to the edge of the dome palace. How could Xiao Zhuo let her escape?

Soul Extinguishing Divine Ability activated! Countless invisible Soul cones, like the whispers of the Grim Reaper, precisely pierced every Nightmare Grade and above Demon locked onto by his Divine Sense below!

The panel notifications scrolled madly like a waterfall!

And Xiao Zhuo’s figure, with a single step, appeared like a ghost before the desperately fleeing Beautiful Woman in the black dress! His large hand shot out like an iron clamp!

“Uh!”

The Beautiful Woman in the black dress felt her neck tighten, her throat already tightly clutched by a cold hand! She was lifted into the air!

Terrifying Divine Thought surged into her body like an angry tide, completely suppressing her Demonic Fiend Qi! Xiao Zhuo’s voice, cold as ten thousand years of ice, rang in her ear:

“Where is Silver Moon?!”
