85: Chapter 85 The Demon Descends on Langya Prefecture

"Fellow Daoists, Zheng Quan is at his wits' end! There's nothing to fear!"

"Even if he is a quasi-Supreme Grandmaster of Formations, after seven days of fierce fighting, he must be exhausted and unable to maintain the great Formation's operation."

"If we swarm him now, it's not impossible to break the Formation and seize the Dao Fruit!"

Gao Sheng's voice spread throughout the entire Kongsang Prefecture.

"That's right, the old devil Zheng Quan intends to refine all living beings, colludes with the Yao Race, and betrays the Holy Court. His crimes are inexcusable!"

True Lord Yanrong echoed.

"Fellow Daoists, charge! Attack the canopy first!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, countless rays of light from Divine Abilities flashed, heading straight for the Mythical Tree canopy.

Facing the siege of the True Monarchs, Zheng Quan was completely unfazed.

He raised his hand, and countless Formation Plates pierced through the Void Realm, appearing behind him.

Thousands of Formation Plates were above his head, like an emperor's crown.

The Crown of Formations, stacked from thousands of great Formations, could be sketched by a Formation master with a single thought.

Only a Great Grandmaster who had stepped into the quasi-Supreme Realm could command it.

"Formation Crown: Mythical Tree Dragon-Goose Seashore."

With a word, thirty-six water dragons burst out from the vast sea, tearing at the several True Monarchs.

"So many Gui Zang True Monarchs, and they still can't take down that Devil Head?"

"It's over. With the old devil in front and the Yao Race behind, Langya Prefecture is finished..."

Just as many Cultivators were in despair,

the sky suddenly darkened.

All Cultivators sensed it.

Far away in Feiguang Prefecture, Shen Moyan sat up abruptly.

He shifted to the perspective of the paper figures, staring intently into the distance.

On the horizon, it seemed some being had arrived.

"Luo Changting!?"

Shen Moyan's face showed surprise.

Since he had cut off the sensory contribution, this was the first time he had seen Luo Changting like this.

"The aura on him..."

Without a doubt.

A Gui Zang True Monarch!

How is that possible?!!!

Remember us at 101 Kanshu Net.

Shen Moyan turned pale with shock.

On the battlefield, many surviving Cultivators took out the spirit condensing pills given by True Monarch Qingmu and were about to swallow them, only to find the glowing pills in their hands rapidly dimming.

"The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is in chaos. Has another Gui Zang True Monarch arrived?"

"Look over there! Who is he?"

In the distance, on the horizon,

it was a man covered in scars, his eyes blood-red.

The shadow beneath his feet was a mass of thin but persistent darkness, as if it could absorb all light.

His tattered robes fluttered in the wind, stretched out infinitely.

He came walking through the air, the vast sea roaring beneath him, unable to do anything to him.

"Such thick Evil Qi! It has condensed into substance. What Realm must one reach to have killed so many Yao Beasts?"

"I know! There's been talk on Nine Songs Net recently that thirty percent of the Yao Beasts in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains have mysteriously disappeared. Could it be that True Monarch's doing?"

In the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, there are hundreds of millions of Yao Beasts; for thirty percent to be missing shows how terrifying that True Monarch is.

"This aura... it's not right!"

"It's Devilish Qi! He's not a True Monarch! He's a True Demon!"

The Cultivators were terrified. With the Demon Suppression Department around, they had never truly seen a demonic Cultivator emerge.

"A demonic Cultivator? You're looking for death!"

True Lord Yanrong launched a fire dragon toward the distance, attempting to drive away the uninvited guest.

However, the fire dragon, capable of swallowing mountain ranges, passed through Luo Changting's body without causing him the slightest harm.

"It's the Heavenly Demon Substancelessness! A Divine Ability of the Six Hells Demonic Sect!"

Gao Sheng cried out in alarm.

It seemed he was the target given by the Biyang Sword Sect.

Gao Sheng steadied himself. There was no rush now; let that demonic Cultivator fight it out with Zheng Quan first.

Atop the canopy, Zheng Quan frowned.

There was still some time before the nascent soul dao fruit reached Perfection. He couldn't let these people with ulterior motives interfere.

"Water dragons, out!"

Out of the thirty-six water dragons, ten turned their heads and lunged toward Luo Changting.

"Karma, attach."

Zheng Quan formed a hand seal, coating the water dragons with a faint blood-red light, allowing them to touch the formless Heavenly Demon body.

Luo Changting was unhurried, slowly pulling a pitch-black remnant sword from his Dantian.

[heaven-slaying nether-illuminating sword]

A profound Dao Rhyme spread out, permeating the entire Langya Prefecture.

The waves across Langya Prefecture calmed down.

The eyes of all True Monarchs were drawn to that pitch-black remnant sword.

"Wild Goose Formation True Monarch, Zheng Quan, you..."

"To refine a Dao Fruit, you disregard living beings. You lead the Yao into our borders, causing all spirits to mourn. Floods sweep across, drowning the common people..."

The low voice, enumerating Zheng Quan's sins, spread throughout the entire Kongsang Prefecture.

"...Such various sins are intolerable to Heaven."

"Today, I, Luo Changting, have a sword strike. I ask the world to witness it!"

Luo Changting bowed.

Drawing his sword, he slashed!

A profound black light flashed, and the ten water dragons instantly evaporated into mist.

Across Langya Prefecture, the battling Immortal Masters, great yao, True Monarchs, and Yao Kings all stopped, looking toward Kongsang Prefecture in disbelief.

That was... one sword strike, severing the vast sea!

The hundred-million-mile flooded land was actually split in two!

Langya Prefecture was split by a bottomless abyss.

The vast sea surged backward, pouring into the abyss with great momentum... In the Demon Suppression Department, two beings were simultaneously shocked.

"This Sword Intent..." The person from the demonic sect hidden in the shadows was deeply shaken.

Chief Yun, sitting to one side, took a sip of tea, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.

"Interesting, interesting!"

Chief Yun laughed heartily, then his smile quickly vanished.

"Debris of the old era, you still dare to come out? Are you not afraid of making a fool of yourself?"

...This sword strike.

Luo Changting had accumulated it for over five thousand five hundred days and nights.

A sword cannot be hidden for long; if hidden too long, it will become dull.

But... all things return and are hidden within the Dao.

Guizang Dao Rhyme.

Body transforming into the source of the Dao.

One can become a True Monarch!

"For this day, I have waited eighteen years! I have fought day and night for fifteen years!"

Luo Changting's expression was distorted.

The emotions hidden deep in his heart over the years erupted like a bursting dam.

"Little Cicada, Father, everyone... wait for me!"

Luo Changting pushed the power of the Primordial Demon Heavenly Book to the absolute limit he could currently command.

Just as the mist filling the sky drew the attention of the True Monarchs, he moved.

He was like an incorporeal shadow.

And like a black fish swimming against the current.

Braving the violent energy turbulence of the periphery, he sliced open the Formation's defensive membrane with one strike.

"Damn it!"

Zheng Quan panicked for the first time.

He hurriedly operated the Formation Crown to block Luo Changting's path.

"Karmic Fire! Burn!"

Swept by the light of the Formation Crown, Luo Changting's body was ignited, erupting into towering flames.

"Ugh..."

But he didn't stop, charging toward the Mythical Tree while burning.

Like a flaming meteor streaking across the sky, the vast sea behind the star's tail evaporated into mist.

The surrounding True Monarchs were all stunned; they had never seen such a reckless person.

The next moment, Luo Changting's figure suddenly vanished.

When he reappeared, he had actually reached the top of the Mythical Tree.

"Damn it! It's the Heavenly Demon Formlessness!"

What Zheng Quan had just blocked was only his Heavenly Demon phantom; Luo Changting's true body had already approached the Mythical Tree in secret!

Karmic fire burned wildly on Luo Changting's body.

At this very moment,

he was from that nascent soul dao fruit which was about to ripen and fall,

only less than ten zhang away.

In his hand, the heaven-slaying nether-illuminating sword's ink-colored Sword Qi flowed silently.

He raised his gaze and looked calmly at that incredibly tempting Dao Fruit.

"Madman!"

Shen Moyan was shocked by Luo Changting's death-defying behavior.

After several years, Shen Moyan used the Six Senses Fireflies to peer into Luo Changting's heart.

"Damn it!"

Shen Moyan cursed and quickly contacted Gao Sheng, telling him to take action.

He had miscalculated; Luo Changting never intended to use the Heavenly Demon Ritual to break the Dao Fruit's Restriction.

He wanted to swallow the Dao Fruit directly!

It was equivalent to swallowing a thorny durian without peeling it!
