263: Chapter 261 The Demon's Intoxication

He was not dead!

The finishing combined attack that the three of them had poured their Origin into had ultimately only severely injured him, crippled his cultivation, and shattered his martial Dao true body, but it had failed to completely extinguish his life!

As the dust completely dissipated, the tragic battlefield was revealed in its entirety. The hundred-mile mountain forest had been completely shattered, crisscrossed with gullies, and the ground was filled with exploded craters and dried bloodstains. The aftershocks of the earth-shattering confrontation were still slowly echoing between Heaven and Earth.

Shi Jin, Wu Yang, and Yang Chi had originally thought the formidable enemy had perished. Their tightly coiled minds suddenly relaxed, and the injuries from their exhaustion instantly erupted completely. They stumbled, their blood and Qi surged, and they coughed up blood repeatedly. But the moment they saw Kuang Yue still standing, his fierce flames unextinguished, their pupils shrank, and their hearts instantly sank into an ice cellar.

"He's still alive?!" Yang Chi let out a low roar, his arm holding the spear trembling violently, his face full of disbelief.

Wu Yang felt the excruciating pain from the tear in his shoulder; the golden light of his Buddhist beads was dim and on the verge of extinguishing. He gripped his precept blade tightly, his brow furrowed.

At this moment, Kuang Yue's state was strange and terrifying.

Blood constantly seeped from the cracks in his Physical Body, and his muscles and bones were on the verge of snapping inch by inch. Every movement caused a crisp sound of bones breaking to echo throughout his body, yet his Battle Intent became increasingly crazy and violent. On his battered body, his remaining blood and Qi burned madly, transforming into dark red, violent gale winds that swept in all directions.

"You shattered my true body and crippled my cultivation! Today, even if I have to risk everything and burn up my Origin, I will drag you down with me to the grave!"

Kuang Yue's eyes were blood-red, his face twisted and ferocious. He completely abandoned all defense and all reservations, dragging his battered Physical Body, and charged out explosively once more!

This time, his speed was faster than before, his offensive fiercer, and his strength more brutal. Even though his Physical Body could completely disintegrate at any moment, every punch still carried the terrifying power to shake the heavens and split the earth!

The shattered martial Dao fist energy rampaged across the sky, and the dark red gale winds tore through the air. Wherever they passed, mountain rocks turned to powder and vegetation withered completely.

The three of them dared not relax in the slightest. Enduring the excruciating pain throughout their bodies and overdrawing their last bit of Spiritual Qi and blood, they formed a defensive formation again, fighting desperately to block this final, crazy counterattack.

Wu Yang's Buddhist beads shone brightly, exhausting his remaining Buddhist aura to solidify the trapping formation, and his precept blade slashed out layers of heavy blade curtains, desperately blocking Kuang Yue's charging route. Yang Chi's Immortal Artifact spear vibrated and roared, condensing his last bit of immortal power, specializing in attacking the cracks and flaws in the opponent's Physical Body, piercing and exhausting him madly. Shi Jin's Nine Dragon patterns entwined and locked, the phantom of the flood Dragon tearing desperately, holding the opponent's figure back firmly.

However, the severely injured and dying Kuang Yue was already completely insane. His fighting style was suicidal, ignoring technique, attacking without defending, relying on his remaining terrifying brute force to charge wildly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One extreme collision after another exploded in succession. Heaven and Earth trembled, and wild winds howled. The raging aftershocks of the battle were no longer confined to the wild plains but were sweeping wildly down the terrain toward the nearby border town below!

The terrifying martial Dao aftershocks crashed down onto the town!

The entire town instantly trembled violently. Houses and buildings collapsed in swaths, bricks and tiles flew off, and walls were pulverized. The sturdy town defense barrier was like paper in the face of such extreme brute Physical Body force, shattering and disintegrating in an instant.

Wretched cries, terrified screams, and desperate roars instantly echoed through Heaven and Earth, rising one after another, heart-wrenching.

Debris filled the sky, broken wood and raging gale winds swept through the streets. Countless innocent civilians were blasted away, crushed, or buried by the aftershocks. Blood instantly stained the entire town's streets red, broken walls and ruins were everywhere, and the sound of wailing filled the fields, with countless casualties.

In just a few breaths, the prosperous and peaceful border town had completely turned into a living hell!

But no one cared about the life or death of these ants.

"Nirvana Tyrant Emperor Fist!!!"

A dark red fist aura that pierced through Heaven and Earth shot into the sky, carrying the overbearing momentum to destroy everything, crashing head-on into the hundred-foot Blood Dragon!

High in the sky, the Blood Dragon's pupils were icy, its dragon jaws wide open, intending to swallow Kuang Yue whole.

The Blood Dragon was the nemesis of blood and Qi. Initially, the extreme power of its Bloodline talent firmly suppressed the residual martial Dao power, and Kuang Yue's ultimate fist momentum was shattering step by step, on the verge of collapse.

But just as the Dragon power was about to completely swallow the fist aura and crush him, Kuang Yue's remaining martial Dao obsession suddenly erupted. His shattered Physical Body detonated his last trace of Origin, forcibly causing the broken fist momentum to surge again, counterattacking against the trend!

The terrifying backlash force, like a hammer weighing billions of jun, smashed fiercely onto the Blood Dragon's Origin!

Crack, crack—!

The crisp and terrifying sound of cracking echoed through the clouds. The originally indestructible Dragon scales exploded in swaths, flying everywhere in the sky. Hot Dragon blood poured down like a rainstorm, staining the entire sky red. The massive hundred-foot Dragon body trembled and convulsed violently, and the brilliant blood-colored Spiritual Qi around its body dimmed and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The true form that Shi Jin had driven by exhausting his entire life's Bloodline and overdrawing his cultivation Foundation completely shattered under the counterattack of Kuang Yue's dying self-detonation of his martial Dao Origin!

A shrill, mournful Dragon cry shook the area for a thousand miles. The Blood Dragon, which had originally possessed overwhelming prestige, rapidly shrank, shedding its Dragon form and turning back into a human phantom.

The next second, this battered and weak figure, like a kite with a broken string, covered in blood and severe injuries, fell heavily from the ten-thousand-foot high sky!

Thump!

The heavy sound of the impact kicked up dust everywhere, debris splattered, and the ground collapsed. Shi Jin lay motionless in the deep pit, his Meridians completely severed, his blood and Qi completely exhausted. His chest rose and fell weakly, his breath was faint, his eyes were tightly closed, and his life or death was unknown.

There was dead silence between Heaven and Earth, with only the smoke of war slowly drifting through the sky. The broken land was devastated, and the destroyed town below was still lingering with wretched wails, a shocking sight.

"Hahaha... He fell?!"

In the center of the battlefield, Kuang Yue, covered in cracks and dripping with blood, forcibly steadied his tottering body. His skin and flesh were turned inside out, his muscles and bones were split inch by inch, and countless fine bloodstains covered his entire body. His originally condensed and thick martial Dao true body had long been mostly shattered, and his martial Dao Foundation was severely damaged. Yet, those eyes were increasingly scarlet and violent, showing no sign of dying lethargy, only bloodthirsty madness and icy killing intent.

Shattering his true body, collapsing his blood and Qi, exhausting his Lifespan—such heavy injuries, enough to kill an ordinary Venerable, still failed to completely extinguish the life of this martial Dao Vicious Beast from outside the territory!

Kuang Yue lowered his head slightly, looking at his own fists, which were full of cracks and trembling slightly. Feeling the brute Physical Body force inside his body, which was nearly exhausted but still far beyond that of his peers, the grim smile on his lips became increasingly ferocious and terrifying.

"Burning your Origin... you actually have some backbone." He slowly raised his eyes, his scarlet gaze sweeping over the unconscious Shi Jin in the deep pit, his tone icy and bone-chilling. "He is crippled. Next, it is time for the two of you."

As his voice fell, he slowly lifted his battered body. Each step he took was accompanied by the dull, crisp sound of bones dislocating and resetting. The dark red, remaining blood and Qi still lingered around his body. Although it was no longer at its Peak, it still carried an overbearing pressure that crushed everything, firmly locking onto Wu Yang and Yang Chi ahead.

At this very moment, Wu Yang and Yang Chi had no time to worry about Shi Jin, who had fallen into the deep pit with his life or death unknown.

The two of them had long since overdrawn their Spiritual Qi, their Physical Bodies were injured, and their blood and Qi were deficient. After a hundred moves of entanglement, their muscles and bones ached as if splitting, their Meridians were filled with bruised blood, and the previous consumption had already caused their combat power to fall to the bottom.

When Shi Jin was fighting Kuang Yue, the two of them had not been idle either.

They were desperately guzzling bottles of Medicinal Pill, eyes tightly closed, abandoning all distracting thoughts, fully absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, squeezing out all the remaining Spiritual Qi in their bodies, trying to repair their injuries and restore their combat power at the fastest speed.

After sensing Shi Jin's failure, the two of them opened their eyes instantly, the trace of warmth that had just risen in their eyes instantly covered by extreme solemnity.

The short period of breath adjustment could only barely stabilize their injuries and recover a trace of Spiritual Qi; it was not enough to repair their severe injuries, let alone restore their Peak combat power.

The Kuang Yue opposite them, even though he was severely injured in a desperate situation, still firmly suppressed the two of them with that monstrous Physical Body pressure and tyrannical blood and Qi aura.

He couldn't be killed, couldn't be exhausted, and couldn't be destroyed by injuries.

They had seen countless formidable enemies, broken through countless dead ends, and encountered opponents whose cultivation far exceeded their own, but they had never seen such a strange and unsolvable Physical Body combat power.

The three of them had joined forces, poured out their Origin, burned their trump cards, shattered the opponent's martial Dao true body, and exhausted most of the opponent's blood and Qi, yet in the end, they still couldn't defeat him.

Even facing a Loose Cultivator at the fifth or sixth tribulation stage, they hadn't felt such great pressure.

If this continued, all three of them would die here.

Wu Yang stared fixedly at that battered yet still overwhelmingly dominant figure ahead, his brow furrowed tightly, his expression changing in an incredibly complex way.

In a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

In the end, all hesitation, entanglement, and concerns dissipated, leaving only the determination of burning his bridges.

Wu Yang gritted his teeth hard, blood seeping from between them.

His left hand quickly reached into his storage ring, and with a flash of light, an ancient, dark, and heavily sealed wine jar suddenly appeared in his hand.

The wine jar was shrouded in wisps of dark and strange black mist, with a faint, violent, and bloodthirsty aura overflowing. Just being near it made one's Dao Heart tremble and Heart Demon restless.

The moment Yang Chi saw the wine jar, his pupils shrank suddenly, his face turned pale, his hair stood on end, and he exclaimed in shock: "Wu Yang! Don't be impulsive, why don't we run separately?"

He knew too well the horror of this jar of wine; it was the forbidden secret brew—Heavenly Demon Drunkenness!

Wu Yang's Buddhist Cultivation Technique was steady, heavy, and could suppress evil and calm the mind, but once combined with this Heavenly Demon Drunkenness, it could instantly break his own shackles, overturn his Buddhist Dao stability, and feed his combat power with his Heart Demon. One sip could directly double his combat power, causing it to skyrocket several times over!

But the corresponding price was even more fatal and unsolvable!

Heavenly Demon Drunkenness draws a Heavenly Demon into the body and entices the Heart Demon to emerge, forcibly overdrawing the potential of the Divine Soul and Physical Body. After drinking it, it is extremely easy to lose one's mind, annihilate one's reason, and completely transform into a chaotic and murderous evil spirit. At that time, one would not distinguish between friend and foe, slaughtering crazily, and would even kill one's own friends and brothers.

If the enemy is not killed in time and the Heart Demon within is not quickly suppressed, one will ultimately end up with a miserable fate of the Divine Soul being destroyed and the body exploding!

Unless in a life-or-death situation, unless there is absolutely no way out, no one dares to easily touch such a forbidden item!

Wu Yang did not look back, his back straight and lonely. His tone was calm but carried an indisputable determination, each word heavy as it fell into Yang Chi's ears: "Yang Chi, listen to me."

"Get away immediately, retreat to a hundred miles away, and hide far away."

"If I completely lose myself and my reason later, turning into a vicious monster, don't mind me, don't try to wake me up, just focus on escaping yourself."

This was his final instruction and his worst-case plan.

If he didn't act, all three of them would perish here today.

"Don't! Don't! Don't!" Yang Chi shouted anxiously. If they ran separately, there was still a chance for one to survive.

But once Wu Yang drank the wine, it would be different.

If the opponent still couldn't beat Kuang Yue, then after Kuang Yue destroyed Wu Yang, he would continue to chase him. If Wu Yang could defeat Kuang Yue, it would change to Wu Yang hunting him down.

Once he drank the wine, Wu Yang would remember all the auras present. Once he lost his reason, it would be an endless pursuit.

In the past, only when Monk Lu Da was by his side chanting the Calm Heart Mantra would Wu Yang be allowed to unleash his ultimate move, which could also be suppressed in time. But now, there was no such condition.

But there was no choice for him. Kuang Yue opposite them had condensed all his remaining blood and Qi, his dark red gale winds surging, his extreme killing intent locking onto the two of them. With a sudden step, he broke through the air and charged over!

The earth cracked, the airflow exploded, and the gale winds tore through the sky!

"All of you, be buried here!"

Kuang Yue's crazy roar echoed through Heaven and Earth, his battered body erupting with the final, most violent martial Dao power, pushing forward without hesitation, fearless of death!

Wu Yang's eyes turned sharp, no longer hesitating!

His right arm exerted force suddenly, and without a word, he threw Yang Chi, who was beside him, hard toward the back!

Sending him dozens of zhang away in an instant, completely out of the core of the battlefield.

"Go!"

Wu Yang let out a low shout, raised his hand to tear off the seal, and opened the lid of the wine jar!

Hum—!

A thick, pitch-black demonic mist shot into the sky, and a violent, bloodthirsty, and crazy aura instantly swept in all directions, suppressing all Spiritual Qi and Buddhist aura here!

Wu Yang tilted his head back, his wrist turning, holding the wine jar high, and drank wildly, gulping down mouthful after mouthful!

Gulp, gulp, gulp—!

The mellow and evil wine liquid entered his throat, instantly turning into endless demonic energy, rushing down his throat into his limbs, bones, Meridians, and Divine Soul!

Extreme heat, violence, and madness instantly swallowed his Buddhist Dao Foundation and washed away his stable Dao Heart!

The originally gentle and peaceful Buddhist aura shattered and dissipated inch by inch, and his aura instantly turned upside down!

The steady, pitch-black one hundred and eight Buddhist beads were instantly stained by the black demonic mist, turning into a dark blood color. The Buddha Power dissipated completely, and the demonic flames soared to the sky!

The ancient and heavy precept blade on his back vibrated, its black light surging, surrounded by layers of bloodthirsty killing aura!

In just a few breaths, Wu Yang's aura surged layer by layer, doubling and climbing. His originally exhausted Spiritual Qi and overdrawn Physical Body were forcibly stimulated and raised by the Heavenly Demon power, and his combat power skyrocketed at a terrifying speed!

His originally clear and gentle eyes completely turned into a sea of scarlet bloodthirst, his pupils scarlet as blood, and in the depths of his eyes, only boundless killing and violence remained!

A terrifying combat power, far exceeding before and crushing those of the same level, exploded, confronting Kuang Yue's martial Dao blood and Qi!

Wu Yang slowly raised his eyes, locking firmly onto Kuang Yue, who was charging at him. His voice became hoarse, rough, unruly, and arrogant, carrying the madness and fearlessness of abandoning his body to enter the demonic path.

"A martial Dao powerhouse from outside the territory?"

"Today, let Grandpa see just how strong this unkillable Physical Body of yours really is!"

"Come and fight!!!"

"Then let's fight!"

Kuang Yue also gave a loud shout, his hair flying.

The two great powerhouses collided with each other like missiles.

Bang!

A person appeared between the two, easily pressing down on both their heads.

"Tch~ You've even got me all fired up."
