869: Venerable demonic beasts are indeed terrifying.

"Roar!"

The Nine-Headed Serpent Venerable let out a roar, its eyes crimson, filled with brutality and slaughter. Its Venerable might completely erupted, causing the heavens and earth to tremble incessantly.

It had been suppressed by the Heavenly Palace Venerable and had been resisting all this time. Now that it was free, it naturally wanted to slaughter every living being it saw.

"A demon beast of the Venerable Realm!"

Xie Weilou stared at the Nine-Headed Serpent Venerable.

The Venerable Realm also had divisions of strength. The Nine-Headed Serpent Venerable before him should only have the cultivation of an early-stage Venerable.

However, this was a demon beast with a powerful physical body. In terms of combat strength, it was definitely above an ordinary early-stage Venerable.

"Roar!"

The Nine-Headed Serpent Venerable roared.

Crimson scales appeared on its nine heads, shimmering with dazzling light. Its defense was extremely astonishing, and its massive body instantly charged towards Xie Weilou.

"..."

Xie Weilou clenched his fist and suddenly appeared in front of the Nine-Headed Serpent Venerable, delivering a punch to one of its heads.

Bang!

The punch slammed down, striking the head fiercely, but it failed to even shatter the opponent's scales. The powerful recoil directly fractured Xie Weilou's fist.

"Roar!"

The Nine-Headed Serpent Venerable shook its head, and Xie Weilou was immediately sent flying twenty meters.

Twenty meters away.

Xie Weilou stabilized his body. He glanced at his arm; his fist was cracked, blood was flowing, and his arm felt numb, with a sensation of bone fracture.

"A demon beast of the Venerable Realm is indeed terrifying."

Xie Weilou sighed.

With his current physical strength, he could rival a creation treasure artifact, but confronting a Venerable-level demon beast, he was not yet qualified.

The four Creation Realm experts, seeing this, couldn't help but sneer, "Don't you still have a powerful Corpse Skeleton? Why not bring it out as well?"

The might of a Corpse Skeleton was naturally no problem against ordinary cultivators, capable of instantly shattering their bodies into a bloody mist.

But what stood before them was the Nine-Headed Serpent Venerable, a Venerable-level existence, which, among humans, would be considered a peerless mighty figure.

Trying to suppress it with the might of a Corpse Skeleton was naturally unrealistic.

Unless Xie Weilou brought out the ten thousand souls banner. It was rumored that within the ten thousand souls banner, there was a terrifying Evil Spirit. If that Evil Spirit were to rush out, there might be some hope.

However, they had also made preparations for coming here. Even if Xie Weilou brought out the ten thousand souls banner, they had a countermeasure.

Although they didn't have a spirit suppressing coffin, they had a similar item that could also suppress the Evil Spirit within the ten thousand souls banner.

Xie Weilou looked at the four people: "It seems you came prepared!"

"Originally, we only wanted to retrieve the spirit suppressing coffin and the corpse beating whip, but unfortunately, you are not sensible."

The four men's smiles turned cold as they once again formed seals and brought out a peculiar spiritual net.

One of them said coldly, "This is the Spirit-Binding Earth Net, a treasure given by the higher-ups of the Heavenly Palace. It just so happens to be able to bind soul bodies and has no fear of your ten thousand souls banner whatsoever."

The ten thousand souls banner was indeed terrifying, but what truly made them wary was not the ten thousand souls banner itself.

Rather, it was the Evil Spirit inside the soul banner. That Evil Spirit was extremely bizarre and could contend with existences like God Slayer, so naturally, no one dared to underestimate it in the slightest.

"Heh!"

Xie Weilou smiled playfully.

"Roar!"

The Nine-Headed Serpent Venerable's eyes were crimson, and its nine large mouths opened, unleashing nine blood-colored light pillars carrying destructive power, simultaneously blasting towards Xie Weilou.

"Too bad..."

Xie Weilou shook his head, waved his hand, and the bronze bracelet flew out, instantly colliding with the nine blood-colored light pillars.

Boom!

The blood-colored light pillars struck the bronze bracelet, and all their power was swallowed by the bronze bracelet.

Buzz!

The bronze bracelet instantly transformed into a Bronze Cursed Man wielding a war spear.

Xie Weilou said, "Just leave the demon core."

He had a cultivation technique called the Demon Refining Art that could refine demon cores. Now that he had encountered a Venerable-level demon beast, he couldn't let go of its demon core.

"..."

The Bronze Cursed Man transformed into an afterimage, instantly charging towards the Nine-Headed Serpent Venerable. It wielded its war spear and thrust it out.

Boom!

The war spear grew larger, shimmering with green light, sweeping away everything like a mountain peak. In an instant, it pierced through the Nine-Headed Serpent Venerable's body, and blood gushed out.

"Roar!"

The Nine-Headed Serpent Venerable was sent flying by a single spear, letting out a mournful shriek. Its body was covered in dense bronze curses, its flesh and blood continuously dissipated, and its vitality rapidly faded.

After three breaths.

The Nine-Headed Serpent Venerable's flesh and blood were completely gone, and all its vitality vanished, turning into a decayed skeleton, with only a fist-sized blood-colored demon core remaining.

This time, the Bronze Cursed Man held back. Its Cursed Power could turn an existence like God Slayer directly into dust, let alone a mere early-stage Venerable Nine-Headed Serpent Venerable?

"This... how is this possible?"

The four Creation Realm experts from the Heavenly Palace trembled, their eyes filled with horror.

Xie Weilou actually had other terrifying trump cards?

They originally thought that Xie Weilou's reliance was on the Corpse Skeleton and the ten thousand souls banner. Now it seemed they were terribly wrong.

"Kill them."

Xie Weilou slowly spoke.

Boom!

The Bronze Cursed Man reached out its hand, and the war spear transformed into a streaking light, blasting out. The formation was instantly shattered, and it charged towards the four Creation Realm experts.

"Not good..."

The four Creation Realm experts felt a chill down their spines. They quickly activated the Spirit-Binding Earth Net, directly casting it down, intending to bind the war spear and the Bronze Cursed Man.

Boom!

The war spear erupted with a surge of pressure, instantly shattering the Spirit-Binding Earth Net. The war spear flashed with a ghostly light, tearing through space, and in an instant, pierced through the heads of the four Creation Realm experts.

"..."

The four Creation Realm experts' eyes widened, their souls annihilated, and their bodies rapidly decayed under the erosion of the Cursed Power.

A moment later.

The four Creation Realm experts were left with only decayed bones; their souls and flesh and blood had all dissipated.

The Bronze Cursed Man transformed back into a bracelet and returned to Xie Weilou's hand.

Xie Weilou reached out his hand, and the Nine-Headed Serpent Venerable's demon core and the four Creation Realm experts' Storage Rings flew into his hand.

He then looked at the Twin Sons' Corpse Skeletons on the ground and also put them away.

These Twin Sons' Corpse Skeletons were not that simple; their souls had already been refined and were within the ten thousand souls banner.

He could use those two souls to enter the Corpse Skeletons and regain control of the two Corpse Skeletons.

Thus, two Peak Creation Realm combat strengths could reappear. If the two combined, they might even display the strength of the Venerable Realm.

Boom!

In the sky, a sudden roar echoed. The Sword Emperor reappeared in the void, holding a blood-stained severed arm.

The Sword Emperor's figure moved, arriving at the plaza. He glanced at the Corpse Skeletons around him, a look of surprise in his eyes.

He didn't ask further, only smiled faintly, "That Heavenly Palace Venerable escaped, leaving only one arm behind."

In their brief exchange, he had severed one of that person's arms but couldn't keep him. The opponent's escape speed was extremely fast, and he had already left.

Xie Weilou cupped his fists towards the Sword Emperor and said, "Thank you, Senior Sword Emperor, for your help."

The Sword Emperor smiled and said, "This is Sword Emperor City. I naturally won't let outsiders cause trouble, and furthermore... I also have some friendship with the Marquis of Eight Desolations, so I naturally won't let anyone bully you by relying on their cultivation."
