294: Chapter 294 Chu Sheng VS Heavenly Demon Ancestor
Chu Sheng no longer held back, simultaneously activating the four swords of zhuxian. The sword formation unfolded, and dark golden Sword Qi surged out like a tidal wave, sweeping towards Heavenly Demon Ancestor.
Heavenly Demon Ancestor stood in place, motionless, merely raising his hand and waving it.
A long halberd emerged from his palm, jet-black throughout, with dense runes carved upon its shaft, emitting a suffocating killing intent.
god-slaying halberd.
Chu Sheng's pupils contracted slightly, and the Sword Qi collided with the god-slaying halberd, producing a harsh, piercing sound.
The god-slaying halberd vibrated once, but did not shatter.
Heavenly Demon Ancestor waved his hand again, and a black lotus emerged from his palm. Its petals were layered, slowly rotating, swallowing the surrounding Sword Qi entirely.
world-destroying black lotus.
The two Magical Artifacts, one for offense and one for defense, complemented each other perfectly.
Chu Sheng's sword formation was pressed back step by step; before the god-slaying halberd and the world-destroying black lotus, the dark golden Sword Qi seemed as fragile as paper.
He gritted his teeth, pushing his spiritual power to the limit, causing the four swords of zhuxian to emit an overwhelmed humming sound.
Heavenly Demon Ancestor looked at him, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
"Not bad. But you only have one Magical Artifact, while this seat has three."
He raised his other hand, and a cauldron emerged from his palm.
sea-suppressing cauldron.
Bronze throughout, with three legs and two ears, the cauldron was engraved with dense runes, emitting an ancient, heavy, and unshakable aura.
Chu Sheng's expression sank.
Three Magical Artifacts; although the four swords of zhuxian are four blades, they are essentially one set.
One against three, the disadvantage is overwhelming.
But he did not retreat.
The sea-suppressing cauldron flew out from Heavenly Demon Ancestor's palm, hovering in mid-air with its mouth facing downward. A massive suction force surged from within the cauldron, drawing Chu Sheng's Sword Qi inside.
Chu Sheng felt his spiritual power draining rapidly, as if being extracted by an invisible hand.
He gritted his teeth, activating the Heavenly Venerable Duobao. Red light surged from within his body, offsetting the suction of the sea-suppressing cauldron by a fraction.
"Oh?" Heavenly Demon Ancestor's eyebrows twitched, "What is this? You still have such a good thing on you?"
Chu Sheng did not speak; the four swords of zhuxian shifted their formation, piercing toward Heavenly Demon Ancestor from four directions simultaneously.
Heavenly Demon Ancestor raised his hand, sweeping the god-slaying halberd to knock two swords away, while the world-destroying black lotus rotated, blocking the other two.
Chu Sheng's attack was completely neutralized.
He retreated a few steps, panting heavily, and stared at the three Magical Artifacts in Heavenly Demon Ancestor's hands.
Suddenly, he noticed something wrong.
The might of the god-slaying halberd and the world-destroying black lotus was very strong, but their texture was not quite right.
When the god-slaying halberd vibrated, the halberd seemed to disperse.
When the world-destroying black lotus petals rotated, a few of the petals rotated a beat slower than the others.
Chu Sheng's eyes lit up.
He thought to himself: These two Magical Artifacts are fake.
Only the sea-suppressing cauldron is real.
"Senior, your god-slaying halberd and world-destroying black lotus are fake," Chu Sheng said.
Heavenly Demon Ancestor was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"You noticed? Not bad. This seat's god-slaying halberd and world-destroying black lotus were destroyed ten thousand years ago. These two are merely phantoms condensed by this seat; they have plenty of might, but less than one-tenth the power of the genuine articles."
He raised his hand, and the god-slaying halberd and world-destroying black lotus dissipated into points of light.
Only the sea-suppressing cauldron remained hovering at his side.
"But the sea-suppressing cauldron is real. It is the treasure of the Merfolk Race, a Magical Artifact. This seat brought it out from the Undersea City back then, and has used it ever since."
He looked at Chu Sheng, his gaze becoming more serious.
"Your four swords of zhuxian are quite interesting. Imitations? But they are well-imitated; when all four swords are unleashed, their power is not inferior to ordinary Magical Artifacts."
Chu Sheng said: "Senior has a sharp eye."
Heavenly Demon Ancestor shook his head: "It is not that this seat has a sharp eye, but that this seat has seen the genuine articles."
Chu Sheng was stunned for a moment.
Heavenly Demon Ancestor did not explain, merely raising his hand.
"Come on. Let this seat see exactly how much you are worth."
Chu Sheng took a deep breath, the four swords of zhuxian returned to their positions, and the sword formation unfolded once again.
This time, he activated the Heavenly Venerable Duobao, and colorful light intertwined with the dark golden Sword Qi, surging towards Heavenly Demon Ancestor.
Heavenly Demon Ancestor raised his hand, the sea-suppressing cauldron flew in front of him, its mouth facing outward. An invisible force surged from the cauldron, forming a barrier in front of him.
The Sword Qi collided with the barrier, producing a dull, thunderous sound, and the entire Void Realm trembled.
Cracks appeared on the barrier, but it did not shatter.
Chu Sheng gritted his teeth, pushing his spiritual power to the limit, and the power of the sword formation increased by another thirty percent.
Heavenly Demon Ancestor looked at those cracks, his brows furrowing slightly.
He raised his hand and tapped the sea-suppressing cauldron lightly.
The sound of the cauldron rang out, 'Hum—'
A visible sound wave surged from the cauldron, scattering Chu Sheng's Sword Qi.
But he did not fall.
He raised his head, looking at Heavenly Demon Ancestor; there was no fear in his eyes, only Battle Intent.
Heavenly Demon Ancestor looked at him, the corners of his mouth slowly curling up.
"Not bad. Come again."
