241: The desperado drives back the two demons

Chen Yuan roared and charged towards the two old demons.

At the same time, the world boiled.

Above the sky, dark clouds covering a twenty-li radius violently churned, and a dazzling red light instantly burned the dark clouds crimson. The brilliant fire-red clouds rolled like boiling water.

“Boom!”

A shocking pillar of lightning, red to the point of turning purple, tore through the sky and struck Chen Yuan, who was shooting down from the Void Realm!

Its momentum was even more terrifying than the previous Five-Colored Lightning!

Before, that was called “Lightning Guidance,” merely the prelude to the Breakthrough!

Afterward, the Five Thunder would descend one by one, tempering the Five Viscera Divine Storehouses and opening the Divine Palace.

If one could overcome it, they would overturn the Golden Core furnace in one fell swoop, and the Five Qi would converge, allowing the Primordial Spirit to emerge.

Chen Yuan had no room to retreat at this moment. With the descent of the two Wucang Great Demon true forms, if he didn't Breakthrough, he would be waiting for death. He could only kick open this great barrier, draw down the Five Thunder, and fight for his life.

From killing the Six Mountains Dao Fruit to the Chi Xin Demon, and then facing two Wu Zang, he had fought all the way, and the surging hot blood in his body was almost burned dry.

Now, with two Wu Zang glaring menacingly and the Five Thunder striking from above, it was an unprecedented danger. Yet, Chen Yuan's eyes burned fiercely as he plunged down, without the slightest fear. Instead, his blood-stained body let out a sharp howl, and golden chains flew out from the Demon Subduing Pagoda, rattling as they coiled around the two old demons.

Fighting through life and death had made Chen Yuan understand that he couldn't let that momentum dissipate. Once that spirit vanished, various chaotic thoughts would flood his mind—fear, dread, apprehension—and then death would truly not be far!

After all, a person only lives on that one breath of Qi!

Upon seeing this scene,

“Seeking death!”

“Not preparing properly to resist the Lightning Tribulation.”

“And still trying to draw the lightning fire over!”

Ji Xuan, with his red face and white pupils, saw the Human Race Zhonglang General charging towards them. The sinister smile on his lips vanished, his eyebrows twitched, and he immediately guessed Chen Yuan's intention, his voice tinged with anger.

This fellow was risking his life, trying to drag them into the water. He was truly insane enough!

And this vast Five Thunder Tribulation, even though they had already achieved Breakthrough to Wu Zang, they did not want to get involved, because they were demons, naturally restrained by lightning Dao, let alone this Heavenly Lightning.

Although their lifespan was much longer compared to the Human Race, if they were to undergo Breakthrough, the Heavenly Tribulation they faced would be much more difficult than for the Human Race. It often required a long period of preparation, such as Formations that could withstand the descent of the Lightning Tribulation, Heaven And Earth Treasures, and so on.

Back then, they had passed through the Five Thunder, barely surviving, and that feeling and taste still made their hearts palpitate.

“Ignorant child!”

Its enormous Dharma Eye opened its mouth, which was like a pool of blood with teeth like door panels, and let out a roar towards the sky, its demonic roar shaking the mountains and rivers.

With this roar, buildings and earth within several li of this demon crumbled, shook towards the sky, and then, swept by a strong wind, transformed into a giant yellowish-brown Fei Yi, which charged with bared fangs and brandished claws towards the sky-filling golden chains.

The yellowish-brown Fei Yi bit with its large mouth, snapping the chains, then swept up a yellow wind. With a flap of its six wings, it broke another dozen chains.

Finally, its large mouth swallowed towards the golden figure diving down.

However, the pillar of lightning, carrying purple fire, followed closely, striking down directly towards this colossal creature.

Instantly, violent lightning serpents, carrying destructive aura, frantically surged. In the blink of an eye, with a roar, like the fire Dragon just now, it completely crumbled and dispersed with the wind, filling the sky with yellow dust!

In the middle, Chen Yuan's golden body was enveloped by reddish-purple lightning, crackling loudly.

The lightning was like a drop of water falling onto a sponge, frantically surging into Chen Yuan's body. Where his heart beat, dazzling red electric light instantly erupted.

“Pfft!”

Chen Yuan spat out fresh blood. His golden pupils were dyed crimson by the surging blood. His heart felt as if it was about to explode, and the wounds on his precious body, already riddled with scars, gushed even more crimson.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Two shattered pieces of flesh on his arm and chest, already cracked, were directly blown open by the scattered lightning, revealing stark white bones, sparkling like silver.

Chen Yuan staggered in the Void Realm, the intense pain making his throat emit a roar, and several of his teeth shattered.

This was only the first Ding Si Fire Lightning.

Moreover, this was borrowed from the power of that Wucang Great Demon!

And very soon, the fire-red clouds in the sky rapidly turned green. A rumbling thunder exploded, and the second Jia Yin Wood Lightning was about to fall.

Chen Yuan endured the risk of his body exploding, not suppressing the scattered lightning within him. He only relied on the vigorous vitality swept out by the Dragon Qi Mother Tree to sustain his life. With a roar, his pupils crimson, he continued to charge towards the low altitude where the two Wucang Great Demons were located.

Like a desperate man, he exuded a tragic aura!

Below, Ji Xuan, seeing this fellow use his own power to resist a bolt of fire lightning, then continue to charge towards him like a madman, twitched at the corner of his eye in anger, his voice sharp and stern.

“Madman, he's truly a madman.”

“To actually dare to borrow my power to resist the tribulation, he deserves to die.”

“I'll just watch you turn to dust under the Heavenly Lightning, then seize your Spirit, extract its soul, and refine its essence, making you suffer endless torment. Wouldn't that be even better?”

As he spoke, his colossal Dharma Eye flickered in the Void Realm, retreating several li, then flickered a few more times, jumping out of the range of the tribulation clouds.

The other Wucang Great Demon, with a green face and black eyes, did the same.

The two old demons were truly furious at Chen Yuan's reckless fighting style, forced to retreat, but once they were tainted by the Five Thunder, the power of this Lightning Tribulation would reach another level, becoming terrifying, and they did not want to take the risk.

What's more, this Human Race Zhonglang General looked like he was about to collapse. They only needed a single lightning strike to finish him.

And very quickly,

“Boom!”

A green lightning bolt in the sky, like a giant Heavenly Tree, descended.

As Chen Yuan, who was diving, saw the two old demons forced away, he quickly waved his sleeve, and the Kuntian Flying Sleeve flew out. It expanded against the wind, and streaks of dazzling light flew out.

Only to see these brilliant streaks of light whistle through the air, expanding against the wind, revealing eighteen kinds of weapons, a total of twenty-eight Dao Soldiers, spanning the sky with astonishing momentum!

As Chen Yuan snorted in anger and flicked his sleeve, these twenty-odd Dao Soldiers instantly erupted with dazzling sharp light, whistling upwards, and slashed towards the descending green wood lightning.

Twenty-odd streaks of brilliant sharp light, sweeping several li of cold light, collided with the green lightning. In the world, lightning serpents roared, and electric light splashed like trees.

After one or two breaths,

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“...”

Roaring explosions.

One by one, the Dao Soldiers, after an extreme burst of brilliance, were blasted apart by the green lightning, like crushing dry weeds.

But the green lightning was thereby weakened by two or three layers of its power, striking directly onto the Demon Subduing Pagoda above Chen Yuan's head, and then onto Chen Yuan himself.

Lightning serpents drilled into Chen Yuan's tattered body, directly surging into his liver, illuminating it, and dazzling green light leaped forth.

Chen Yuan clenched his teeth tightly, enduring the momentary excruciating pain as if being sliced by a thousand knives, cherishing this hard-won opportunity. The Golden Core within him vibrated, golden flowing fire furiously surged, resisting the lightning escaping from his heart and liver.

The Dragon Qi Mother Tree even emitted a crisp, bell-like rustling of leaves. Surging green light, carrying immense vitality, circulated through his limbs and bones, moistening patches of flesh blackened by the lightning fire.

But even so, the instantly surging lightning was extremely terrifying. The golden flowing fire was scattered, and more of his stark white bones were revealed.

And the Demon Subduing Pagoda hovering above his head was also undergoing tempering by the lightning fire, being struck until it emitted a sharp tremor, and one corner was even shattered.

This was even after its power had been somewhat reduced!

The Five Thunder were five layers of life-and-death trials, one stacked upon another. Before he could even catch his breath, with a world-shaking roar, the third Ji Wei Earth Lightning had already surged down.

The Thirty-Six Mountain Demon Suppression Tower above Chen Yuan's head stirred up monstrous demonic roars. Surging Devilish Qi soared into the sky, and hundreds of thousands of demon remnant souls from the bas-reliefs, wrapped in black Qi, spiraled and stepped upwards.

Among them were small demons only a few feet in size, belonging to the first realm, and also Dao Fruit Ten Fiends, fifty to sixty feet tall.

Ten Dao Fruit ferocious demons, over thirty Dao Soldier demons, and hundreds of demon followers roared skyward, unleashing a monstrous demonic tide to meet the surging third Heavenly Lightning.

After a few breaths, these thousands of demon souls were all annihilated.

Chen Yuan also lit up the third Divine Storehouse, and the bas-reliefs on the Demon Subduing Pagoda crumbled one after another.

Then the fourth Golden Lightning fell. Chen Yuan threw out the shili ( Bronze tripod) left by the Upper Town Demon Envoy, and simultaneously controlled it with his Dharma Eye golden light!

The shili ( Bronze tripod) was actually shattered, and several of Chen Yuan's ribs were broken by the Lung Metal Lightning, causing him to plummet hundreds of meters downwards.

And at this moment, the last one, the world roared loudly, as if a Heavenly River surged in the sky, roaring and raging, like the Nu River.

In the distance, Ji Xuan, one of the two Wucang Great Demons, saw that in just a few breaths, the Human Race Zhonglang General, who had seemed on the verge of collapsing, could actually still throw out Divine Ability treasures one by one to resist the Lightning Tribulation, and in a blink of an eye, had reached the fifth layer of tribulation lightning. His face was filled with anger and urgency, realizing he had been deceived, and let out an angry roar.

“Cannot let him continue!”

“Even if it means being struck by the last Heavenly Lightning, I must kill this fellow!”

As he spoke, his Dharma Eye exploded beneath its feet, and the black bone spear in its hand spun out a sky full of black flames, striking towards the figure beneath the thunderclouds, where a brilliant blue lightning bolt was descending from the sky!
