239: I said I would take you home! (ask for monthly pass)

Vast, brilliant red clouds, like a torrent of crimson lava, poured into Chen Yuan's mouth.

99.2%, 99.3%...

The Dao Fruit progress bar also jumped little by little as Chen Yuan devoured this Wucang Great Demon.

Meanwhile, the Chi Xin Demon, screaming and roaring in pain, rapidly shrank like a deflating balloon.

In contrast, Chen Yuan, at this moment, was like a mad Devil Head, his mouth a pool of blood, accompanied by streaks of golden light stirring within. He bit and tore at the Chi Xin Demon with wide-open jaws, his body suddenly radiating a brilliant golden light, transforming him into a giant golden fire-person.

“Thump thump”

“Thump thump thump”

“Thump thump thump thump...”

The heartbeat in his chest roared even louder, as if resonating with heaven and earth, becoming more and more rapid, as if something was about to burst out from within his body.

At the same time, in the sky, the wind and clouds changed color, a huge vortex gathered, and a terrifying aura, oppressive to the point of suffocation, rapidly converged. A shocking Five-Colored Thunder, faintly visible, flickered within the black clouds.

Five Thunder!

Five Thunder Initiation, the Wu Zang temple opens, worshipping the gods, from then on the Five Qi ascend to the Primordial Spirit, and the Primordial Spirit leaps out of the womb.

Once the Five Thunder falls, it signifies that someone has broken through the Wucang Great Demon.

“Ah!”

The Chi Xin Demon let out a hysterical scream, feeling its power being rapidly devoured by Chen Yuan. The terror and rage drove it mad.

Its main body had cultivated for sixty years to give birth to itself, only to be defeated by a Human Race Dao embryo. Especially, its Heart Demon Dao Fruit was so easily devoured by the other party, who was about to step on its corpse to enter the Wucang Great Demon. That humiliation drove him completely insane.

This damned Human Race Zhonglang General must not be allowed to enter the Wucang Great Demon, even if it means sacrificing sixty years of cultivation.

“You truly deserve to die.”

“You want to step on this venerable one to break through? How could this venerable one allow you to succeed? Heavenly Demon Disintegration!”

It let out a piercing shriek, and its demonic body, which had shrunk to about forty feet, suddenly became incredibly fierce in its Qi, rapidly swelling. Violent flames, like a volcanic eruption, surged out from its cracking body.

“Hmph!”

Chen Yuan snorted through his nose, his voice like thunder. He grasped both sides of the neck he was biting, let out a fierce roar, and pulled with both hands.

“Ah!”

With a cry of pain, the Chi Xin Demon let out an extremely agonizing shriek. Its entire swollen body, like a plump, large worm, twisted madly.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, Chen Yuan snapped its neck, and red clouds scattered.

Then, from the torn and severed neck wound, golden light rapidly surged, and streaks of glittering golden chains flew out, rattling and trembling as they flew, enveloping and sealing the fiery red demonic body that was about to explode.

As an experienced veteran, Chen Yuan had long guarded against this move.

Afterward, Chen Yuan stepped on the Demon Head’s back, leaped up, and with a “boom” a loud explosion, the Thirty-Six Mountain Demon Suppression Tower flew out from his mud pill, ascended above his head, grew larger with the wind, and rotated with a rumbling sound. The dark clouds followed its movement, forming a vortex.

Then, the tower body shook, and from the well of the tower base, a terrifying suction force surged forth. The clouds surged with it, sweeping downwards, only to see the rapidly expanding Chi Xin Demon body below, under the tightening restraint of the golden divine chains, expand and contract, contract and expand.

After one or two breaths, the golden divine chains finally lost control and snapped one by one.

Immediately after, with a “boom,” the heavens and earth shook.

In the world, the entirely red demonic body erupted like a giant volcano, with thousands of flames bursting open, the sky filled with red clouds illuminating the Void Realm, and terrifying power pouring out.

And in the sky a li above, the azure-golden pagoda roared, sweeping up towering fire clouds, spiraling these sky-filling red clouds into layers of fire clouds, ascending and drawing them all into itself.

“Buzz buzz!” With a golden tremor, the Demon Subduing Pagoda emitted an excited hum, frantically devouring the fiery clouds.

And within the towering fire clouds, with a whoosh of air breaking, a large spear flew back, landing with a clang in a golden hand. Golden light shone brightly from Chen Yuan’s vertical eye between his brows, looking down, emitting a chilling light.

The next second, his vertical eye trembled, a clang rang out, and golden light shot out towards the sky-filling fire clouds below, fixing itself in a certain spot in the Void Realm.

That Void Realm immediately revealed a black flame, only a few feet in size, with the shadow of the Chi Xin Demon appearing within it.

The golden light swept up, bringing the Demon Head up. The golden light crackled on the surface of this black flame, wrapping it in three layers inside and out, to prevent this Devil Head from causing further mischief.

Chen Yuan grabbed with one hand, his gaze cold as he stared at this demon. He had never believed that a demon of this level would die so easily.

Besides, looking at his impending progress, he was just a step away from it now.

Without a word, he tossed his hand upwards, and this black flame was immediately sent into the well.

In an instant, crackling sounds intensified, and golden chains were drawn from the tower body, pulling and binding the Chi Xin Demon. Then, a multitude of demons roared, and demonic shadows surged out from the tower body like a tide, pouncing on the remnant spirit of the Chi Xin Demon.

The heart-wrenching screams of the Devil Head echoed from within.

“Human Race Zhonglang General, I curse your ancestors, ah!”

“You sacrificed the Ten Thousand Mountains’ holy race; the Ten Saints will never let you go! They will refine you into a human puppet!”

“...”

Chen Yuan watched the wailing and chaotic cries with a cold eye, ignoring them. He also spat out a line of fire, which flew inside, accelerating the refinement.

In a breath’s time,

“Rumble.”

A thunderous roar came from the sky, as if the heavens had collapsed.

Five-Colored Thunder struck lightning across the sky, and extremely dazzling and terrifying bolts of lightning poured down.

At this moment, Chen Yuan’s Dao Fruit progress was at Perfection!

Then, suddenly, the voice that had been wailing in the Demon Subduing Pagoda let out a distorted, grotesque laugh, suppressing immense pain.

“Haha!”

“Hahahaha!”

“Zhonglang General, what if you refine this venerable one?”

“He’s here!”

“Coupled with this Five Thunder striking your head, you will surely turn to ash!”

“So, this venerable one still won!” At the end, it let out a sharp laugh.

Chen Yuan’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

“Who?”

“Haven’t you already guessed? As long as he doesn’t die, I will remain immortal...”

The Chi Xin Demon said this, letting out a piercing, sharp shriek, and then completely dissipated. However, the shriek pierced through the air.

The next second, a tumultuous roar rolled in.

“Argh, you stinking Human Race bones, this venerable one will kill you today!”

As the voice fell, in the distant western sky, two terrifying illusory figures, illuminating the Void Realm, stepped through the air!

Chen Yuan’s pupils suddenly constricted, and a chill ran straight up his spine, along the Great Dragon’s back, to the top of his head.

The true Wucang Great Demon had arrived!

And there were two of them!

And it was at the crucial moment of his breakthrough!

A strong sense of frustration made his blood congeal. Just give him a little more time, just a little more time! But at this moment, he couldn't bother with anything else and let out a furious roar.

“Ninth Mountain, heed my command!”

“All forces, retreat!”

Saying this, he stomped his foot, charging towards the Weiyuan Pass below. A great sun rose above his head, and at the same time, the pagoda above spun, drawing out golden chains, and sweeping out figures towards a certain mountain forest below.

It was Qingyangzi and the others. The seven of them, in order to receive Chen Yuan's full-force attack, essentially bore that blow together with Chen Yuan. They were injured by the Chi Xin Demon's residual power and all suffered serious injuries.

At this moment, on the city wall, the battle was fierce, with flesh and blood flying.

Chen Yuan roared, his murderous aura like flames. The True Sun Fire rolled down, piercing through and annihilating the demonic shadows one by one. The golden flames burned and swept, creating a terrifying scene that frightened the demons, making them shriek and scatter in all directions.

Chen Yuan stood above the city wall, his gaze quickly sweeping across it. He said nothing to the soldiers fighting valiantly, bathed in blood, on the city wall. He wildly waved his hands, stirring up a great wind, and enveloped all these soldiers, sending them several li into the city behind him, into a cluster of buildings.

Then, the houses spanning several hundred li exploded, and streaks of light shot into the sky.

One could see Formation Flags, with demon bones as poles and demon skin as flags, whistling through the air, expanding with the wind to a size of three zhang, humming loudly, and their spiritual light greatly increasing.

There were twelve of them!

Fanshan Formation!

This was the retreat route Chen Yuan had prepared when he marched to Weiyuan Pass.

He sent all the surviving soldiers into it, and the chains rattled. There were also the seven people who fought alongside him, and he roared sharply,

“Liu Qing, quickly activate the Formation!”

Cries of alarm arose, and faces splattered with blood shouted urgently.

“General!”

“Sir!”

“Come with us!”

At this moment, the enormous demonic shadows from the west were already roaring closer. Chen Yuan’s brows shot up,

“Go quickly!”

“This is an order!”

“I said I’d bring you all back.”

As his words fell, from the distant west, a demonic roar pierced the sky, “You wish to leave? All of you, die!”

Rumble...

In an instant, two earth-shattering demonic lights blasted towards this area.

“Go!”

Chen Yuan roared, casting one last look at the soldiers and Sect Heavenly Gate who had followed him through many battles, then turned and soared into the sky. The Demon Subduing Pagoda ascended mightily, and golden divine chains resembled lightning filling the sky.

His hair danced wildly, and he roared to the sky, all his Qi surging forth.

Time to cook.
