81: Great Sun Burning Demon, what kind of monster are you?!

“Netherworld Sword Domain, open!”

The sky suddenly darkened.

Following Old Man Jiu You's cold shout, his demeanor changed drastically, and the entire You Mountain seemed to be frozen in place. Terrifying Sword Intent covered hundreds of thousands of miles of You Mountain's land, while a layer of gray nether light began to spread out from Old Man Jiu You's feet, enveloping Shen Nian in the blink of an eye.

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed. The original secluded forest disappeared, replaced by a pitch-black world that was unfathomably dark and deep, filled with countless terrifying Sword Qi emitting an aura of destruction.

Old Man Jiu You's Face was solemn, his body radiating the cold aura of the Netherworld Sword Dao. A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

He had originally intended to back down, but using the Void Return Sword Domain placed an immense burden on his remnant Divine Soul. After this, he might fall into slumber.

But the opponent was relentless. He was, after all, someone who had once climbed to the top of the White Jade Capital; even a clay figure has some temper!

Furthermore, a new idea suddenly occurred to him.

This child's talent is that of a Prodigy. Although he doesn't possess a Divine Body, the strength of his Physical Body is ridiculously exaggerated!

He must possess a Heaven-Defying Opportunity!

As long as I kill him and seize this Physical Body, that Opportunity will be mine!

As for whether Shen Nian came from Eastern Profound or elsewhere, it didn't matter at all to a maniacal Demonic Path Cultivator like him. They couldn't cross over anyway!

Lu Ya, who was inside Old Man Jiu You's body, also showed a look of surprise and delight, clenching his fists in excitement.

This kind of power!

This is what I, Lu Ya, have been searching for!

Everything below Void Return is mere ants!

Old Man Jiu You showed an excited smile, looking at the white-robed youth before him. With a casual wave, a thousand-zhang Sword Intent slashed out, its might terrifying and unparalleled, like a natural disaster.

However, his sword strike did not land on Shen Nian, but beside him, carving out a thousand-zhang chasm. He then squinted and chuckled, "Heh heh, junior, didn't expect that, did you? The strongest thing this old man possesses is the Sword Dao. Aren't you surprised?"

But the next second, he froze, the smile on his Face instantly solidifying.

“What a coincidence, me too...”

After Shen Nian's calm voice drifted out, Old Man Jiu You showed a look of confusion and asked, "What are you?"

As the opponent had spoken for the first time, he was quite polite and did not immediately make a move.

Demon Burning Purgatory!

Open!

The next instant.

“Holy crap!!”

Old Man Jiu You nearly lost his footing and couldn't help but curse loudly. His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, his pupils gradually reflecting a scorching Great Sun. The intense heat instantly made him sweat profusely.

“You're a Sword Cultivator too??!” Old Man Jiu You stared incredulously at the white-robed youth. His Netherworld Sword Domain began to collapse under the invasion of a terrifying power.

“This is... Void Return Sword Domain!!”

“This level... it's not something just newly comprehended...”

“What the hell are you?!!”

“You can unleash a Void Return Domain at the Soul Transformation stage???”

“How is that possible??”

“What kind of monster are you!” Old Man Jiu You was utterly shocked. He couldn't imagine how such a Prodigy could exist.

He's barely twenty, at the Soul Transformation cultivation level, his Physical Body cultivated to a degree more exaggerated than a Divine Body, and he has mastered the Sword Dao!!

He had lived for tens of thousands of years and had never seen anything so absurd. Even the past leaders of the profound dragon ranking, those hailed as the hope for the rise of the Human Race, were not this exaggerated at Shen Nian's age!

Even the Saints cultivated by those transcendent Holy Lands couldn't do this!

Lu Ya, who was inside Old Man Jiu You's body, was also dumbfounded, muttering, "How could such a terrifying Prodigy appear in Great Xia..."

The next second, Old Man Jiu You's Face turned pale, revealing an expression of disbelief: "???! "

“Huh?”

“To what extent has he mastered his Sword Domain? Although I am only using remnant Divine Soul power, the Void Return Sword Domain I unleash is not something an ordinary Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator can withstand. How could it... not even hold him back for a moment??”

Boom!

In just the blink of an eye, an ancient world enveloped Old Man Jiu You. Although this world was incomplete, only having a dazzling Great Sun suspended in the sky, the aura it emitted was clearly stronger than Old Man Jiu You's.

“A Domain of this caliber is extremely rare even among Void Return Cultivators... Which clan or Holy Land does this Void Return Divine Ability belong to?” Old Man Jiu You looked at the ancient world before him, his eyelid twitching, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't match it to anything.

This definitely isn't from a power on the Eastern Profound Star!

At this moment, whether it was the Disciples of Xuan Guang Cave or the Cultivators watching the battle, their Faces turned pale. Some were so terrified they sat down on the ground, yet their fear couldn't mask the shock on their Faces.

“Void... Void Return Sword Dao Domain...”

“It's real!”

“The great xia secret records were all true!!”

“No, it's more than that! It's more exaggerated than the rumors! Any random aura in this world is not something a Half-step Nascent Soul Great Demon can contend with. Even glaring at that Yao Beast would be Lord Shen giving it Face!!”

The Xuan Guang Cave Disciples nearby were completely immersed in despair. Wang Yan was trembling all over. She had thought that Senior Brother Lu Ya unleashing his Sword Domain guaranteed victory, but the next second, it was ruthlessly torn apart by the opponent... "Tsk tsk, unbelievable, truly unbelievable. I wonder how spectacular Leng Lingshuang's expression would be if that woman knew that the Sword Dao Mighty Expert she'd been searching for half a month was Shen Nian..." Lin Qingyue took a sip of wine, watching the scene before him with satisfied shock, feeling somewhat expectant about the upcoming Nine Peaks Grand Competition.

Hehe, when the time comes, I'll bask in Junior Brother Shen's glory and get him to help me slap that woman twice!

Thinking this, Lin Qingyue showed a slight smile, then his expression changed as he remembered something, and he said helplessly, "Crossing the two Realms of Golden Core and Nascent Soul to reach Soul Transformation in half a month... Junior Brother Shen, it's annoying sharing a generation with you..."

Xia Youyue looked up at the sky with an expression of adoration, gripping her long spear.

Xiao Qinger, who was beside her, was chatting with the Female Yan Emperor in her mind.

“Nine Nethers Sword Domain...”

“It's actually that old ghost, Nine You Old Mans true name?”

“I can't believe he wasn't slapped to death by that person from Lushan Academy; he actually managed to survive as a remnant...”

“Great Empress, what are you talking about? What old ghost?” Xiao Qinger immediately asked.

“That Lu Ya is like you, possessing a remnant Divine Soul inside him. That remnant Divine Soul, when alive, was a Void Return Twelfth Layer Demonic Path Mighty Expert. He possessed the Netherworld Major Achievement Divine Body and obtained the Nine Nethers Underworld Emperor's Sword Dao Legacy. His battle strength could barely rank him in the top layer of the Human Race's Second Tier.”

“However, Nine You Old Mans true name practiced the Demonic Path and enjoyed killing, slaughtering many of his own kind. Even though he ran to the Heavenly Demon Realm to kill the heads of three Void Return Great Demons just to survive, he was still slapped to death by a Human Race Supreme Expert,” the Female Yan Emperor explained, a hint of disgust in her golden eyes. But seeing Old Man Jiu You, who belonged to the same era as herself, acting so startled, she felt quite pleased.

That's right. It's not that this Empress's mentality is unstable; anyone who saw this would be stunned, wouldn't they?

If Old Man Jiu You knew that Shen Nian was still at the Foundation Establishment Peak just a month ago, his jaw would probably drop to the floor in shock.

“Then this Old Man Jiu You truly deserves to die!” Xiao Qinger said indignantly. How is slaughtering his own race different from a demon?

After speaking, Xiao Qinger looked up with fan-girl eyes and said, "Senior Brother is so amazing. He can even defeat a Human Race Supreme Expert now..."

“...” The Female Yan Emperor twitched her mouth, feeling speechless.

Can't she see the current state of Nine You Old Mans true name?

He's a remnant Divine Soul!

He can't even exert one percent of his strength from his Peak period. Otherwise, the Netherworld Sword Domain he unleashed wouldn't have such limited power... But she didn't feel right saying anything, after all, Shen Nian truly is a Prodigy!

In the sky.

Behind Shen Nian, a dazzling and blinding Great Sun slowly rose into the sky. Golden flames danced beneath his feet, rapidly devouring and burning the surrounding Netherworld Sword Intent. It was a complete crushing. A thousand-zhang Divine Sword, condensed from golden flames, hung beneath the firmament, radiating an aura that incinerated all demons and Yao Beasts, pointing directly at Old Man Jiu You.

Looking at the white-robed youth standing with his hands behind his back, like the Dominator of this world, Old Man Jiu You, sweating profusely, asked tremblingly, "Who are you?"

“Where do you come from!”

However, the response they received was a chilling voice.

“Great Sun, Slashes Demons!”

Old Man Jiu You instantly let out a miserable scream.

Boom!

A Great Sun Undying Sword Intent slashed down. Old Man Jiu You frantically resisted the thousand-zhang Sword Intent, his Face pale, his entire body scorched black, and even his loincloth was about to burn away.

His appearance was too horrible to look at!

“F*ck!”

“This daddy isn't playing anymore! I'm leaving!”

Old Man Jiu You ground his teeth. His Divine Soul nearly shattered before he finally managed to withstand this Great Sun Undying Demon Slaying Sword Intent.

Having said that, Old Man Jiu You immediately went offline, his speed even faster than when he arrived!

“????” Lu Ya was dumbfounded.

That's it?

Didn't you claim to be invincible below Dao Integration?

That's all?

Now that things are like this, you're leaving me to deal with it? Did you ever consider my feelings?
