568: Chapter 568 One Sword Slays the Demon King

Deep within the Myriad Demon Cave, that ancient Demon King who had just awakened from its slumber was completely dazed.

It had lived for untold years and had seen Cultivators flying through the sky and tunneling through the earth, Magic Treasures destroying heaven and earth, and even tragic wars between Sects that left mountains and rivers shattered.

But it had never seen, nor ever imagined, a towering giant mountain so vast its edges were invisible simply rising off the ground and flying toward it!

This had already exceeded its understanding of the term "Divine Ability."

What kind of ghost thing is this?

Using a mountain as a Magic Treasure?

Furthermore, the speed of that mountain was ridiculously fast!

One second it was on the horizon, the next it had already obscured the entire sky above its head!

As the massive shadow loomed over, it brought a sense of oppression that originated from the depths of the Soul.

...

Aboard the Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

Whether it was the Disciples of the Kunlun Academy or those captured Cultivators from the Qingyun Realm, they were all currently sprawled at the edge of the mountain, feeling the violent vibrations coming from beneath their feet and the whistling wind in their ears.

"Heavens! We... we're flying!"

A Disciple of the Qingyun Immortal Sect had a pale face, and his voice was trembling.

He watched the mountains and rivers retreating rapidly below, feeling his world-view being crushed and reshaped over and over again.

Xu Yuanwu, the Grand Elder of Qingyun Immortal Sect who had been refined into a God of Wealth statue by Li Heng with his Divine Soul still imprisoned inside, fell even deeper into self-doubt.

He had originally thought that with his cultivation at the Peak of the Tribulation Stage, even if he wasn't at the apex of this Universe, he was at least among that small handful of people standing at the top of the pyramid.

But now he finally understood.

He and that young man named Li were simply not creatures of the same dimension.

When the other person went out, his means of transportation was an entire Immortal Mountain!

How could one even fight this?

Fight it with one's head?

Compared to the horror of the captives, the students of Kunlun Academy were much more calm.

Although equally shocked, they had already grown accustomed to the Dean's various outrageous operations.

"I told you the Dean couldn't possibly make us run over there ourselves, that would be so tiring."

"True, sitting on a 'mountain' is more comfortable; the Spiritual Qi is abundant, and the scenery is great."

"This is the prestige of our Kunlun Academy! In the future, whenever we go out for team building, we have to drive the mountain!"

The students discussed excitedly, completely lacking any sense of tension for the impending battle.

Li Heng stood at the Peak of the main summit, hands behind his back, the corners of his clothes flapping loudly in the fierce wind.

He watched the massive cave below getting closer and closer, his expression calm.

To him, driving the entire Kunlun Immortal Mountain was indeed much less trouble than flying there himself.

Just then, that Demon King in the Myriad Demon Cave finally recovered from its extreme shock.

What replaced it was endless anger and the violence of having its territory invaded!

"No matter what you things are!"

"Die for me!"

With a roar, that giant claw of Demonic Qi, which had been frozen in mid-air by Li Heng's snap of a finger, violently broke free from its restraints!

Even though it was only a moment of stagnation, to it, this was already a supreme humiliation!

The black giant claw, carrying a terrifying power capable of shattering continents, clawed down fiercely toward the moving Kunlun Immortal Mountain!

Everyone felt that Aura of world-destroying destruction.

The faces of many New Students from the second intake turned somewhat pale.

However, Li Heng only gave it a faint glance.

"Liu Lian."

"Your Disciple is here."

Liu Lian's figure appeared silently behind him.

"That claw is a bit of an eyesore," Li Heng's tone was as if he were speaking of a trivial matter. "Go handle it."

"Yes."

Liu Lian did not say another word.

His entire being transformed into a white sword light that pierced through heaven and earth, soaring into the sky!

That sword light had no earth-shattering Aura, nor any gorgeous or dazzling special effects.

It was just a pure white light, fast to the extreme.

The white light flashed and vanished.

Before everyone's astonished eyes, that sky-blotting black giant claw was severed cleanly at the wrist!

The cut was as smooth as a mirror!

Losing the support of demonic power, the massive claw stagnated in the air for a second and then crashed down.

"BOOM!!!"

The earth shook violently, and dust billowed into the sky.

That giant claw smashed a bottomless pit directly into the ground.

"Awooo—!"

From deep within the Myriad Demon Cave came a roar filled with pain and disbelief.

And Liu Lian, having finished all this, had already returned behind Li Heng, as if he had merely lopped off a tree branch in passing.

At that very moment.

"Boom!"

A loud sound rang out.

The entire Kunlun Immortal Mountain came to a steady halt.

The position where it stopped was precisely right above the entrance of the Myriad Demon Cave, like a giant interstellar mothership blocking someone else's doorstep.

"We're here, everyone come down to watch the show!"

Someone shouted.

Hundreds and thousands of students immediately swarmed to the edge of the mountain, curiously poking their heads out and pointing at the pitch-black cave below.

"Wow, is this the Demon King's hometown? It looks so run-down."

"Look, that claw from just now must have stretched out from here, right?"

"The Dean is too wicked, driving the mountain right to their doorstep—this is top-tier taunting!"

The students discussed excitedly, their relaxed posture just like primary school students on a spring outing.

This contempt and disregard were, to the Demon King in the Myriad Demon Cave, an extreme insult even more severe than having its claw severed!

"You all... seek death!!!"

Accompanied by a world-shaking roar.

The entire Myriad Demon Cave, along with the ground for a hundred miles around, began to collapse violently!

"Rumble!"

Massive cracks spread out like a spiderweb.

Immediately following.

A terrifying demon god, a thousand zhang tall, covered in black scales with twin horns on its head and a pair of tattered bat wings on its back, slowly rose from the depths of the earth!

It was the King of this Myriad Demon Cave!

A terrifying pressure belonging to the Great Perfection of the Soul Transformation Stage swept across the field!

Many students with lower cultivation instantly felt it difficult to breathe, as if a great mountain had been pressed onto them.

However, when this pressure came within a hundred meters of the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, it was easily neutralized by an invisible barrier.

Li Heng looked at that enraged big guy below, a trace of satisfaction appearing on his face.

Finally, something decent came out.

He turned his head and looked toward the direction of the Refining System, his voice not loud, yet clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Chen Pingan, Lu Miaomiao."

"All students of the Refining System, get ready."

"Today's practical lesson content is to dismantle this big guy below."

Li Heng paused for a moment and added a sentence.

"Don't use brute force; pay attention to technique and try to maintain the integrity of the Materials as much as possible."

"For the barbecue later, we happen to be missing a rack."
