374: Caught by the big demon and teleported away (5K monthly ticket required)

The sky-shrouding hand, with knuckles like hills and lines like ravines, had grayish-green skin covering several miles, carrying a terrifying and vast Demonic Might.

It was clearly from the same source as the finger that had forcibly broken through the teleportation channel earlier.

That heart-pounding Aura suddenly became clear at this moment.

Dragon Tiger!

It wasn't a Void Realm manifestation similar to the Three Human Race Dragon Tiger of Tianxiong Pass, but a true Dragon Tiger Great Demon!

A Great Demon had launched a claw from Ten Thousand Mountains, across the teleportation channel, thousands of miles away!

The terrifying power directly caused the entire channel to emit earth-shattering roars, unable to withstand this Rank of power.

At this moment, Chen Yuan and the other six were eyeing the sole remaining Huodou Clan Devil Head, Old Man Dong's dragon binding cord had already locked around this fiend's neck, Chen Yuan flew into battle, raising his spear to kill, North Sea Dragon Girl had recovered her human form, the three San Taibao of Tai Sui Mountain were either raising their sabers or swinging their staffs, their Aura imposing.

The sky-shrouding Demonic Hand suddenly slammed down, moving extremely fast, without the slightest warning. The trio of Chen Yuan and the Taisui Mountain Three Taibao, who were about to kill the Devil Head, suddenly looked up, their expressions changing in unison. It was too late to dodge.

And that Huodou Clan Devil Head, who was bound by chains and had long lost his Demonic courage from being hunted, screamed in terror, as if he had seen a savior. His Demonic eyes widened, "That one from the Sacred Mountain has made a move!"

Subsequently, this fiend's fear turned into malevolence and ferocity.

"Human Race Martial Armory, you have killed so many Devil Heads, alarming the Great Demon of the Sacred Mountain. None of you will escape!"

He hissed, and the Aura of his blood-splattered Physical Body surged. His Demonic eyes became ferocious again, and blazing Demonic Fire surged, sweeping towards the dragon binding cord on his neck. There were clanging sounds, as if he wanted to break free from the chain.

The Sacred Mountain they spoke of was actually the burial ground of the Ten Fiends. For so many years, the Ten Fiends who died each year were buried there, or the demons whose lifespan was nearing its end chose to enter this mountain to find a place to slumber before their death. The longer the years, the more various incredible Demonic phenomena appeared within, which were referred to as the Sacred Mountain by Ten Thousand Mountains!

In the past, the Ten Thousand Mountains Demonic Dao Fruit Assembly, held once every sixty years, took place in this Sacred Mountain. Demons from various races entered it to seek Dao Fruit and Opportunity. The last Dao Fruit Assembly was just over a year ago. The Ten Fiends, using some unknown means, used the Sacred Mountain as a jump point to open teleportation channels to the various Fu Gate of Jiannan Road, thus commencing the prelude to the Demonic War. Chen Yuan also left Qingshan County to serve as the Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General, embarking on his journey of conquest!

And this Great Demon was the tomb guardian of this burial ground, his strength unfathomable!

"Not good!"

The Taisui Mountain Three Taibao, feeling their insignificance and powerlessness under the rapidly approaching sky-shrouding Demonic Hand, cried out in alarm, instinctively wanting to retreat.

Just then, Chen Yuan's hoarse voice, filled with the rush of wind, echoed in their ears,

"It's too late to retreat!"

"Everyone, attack together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud gun cry, piercing the sky.

Chen Yuan, who was flying to kill the Huodou Devil Head, suddenly spun his spear and turned around. The massive long spear accumulated power at his waist, causing the space to explode with roars.

Then, he abruptly looked up, the violent wind pressure wrinkling his face. Chen Yuan's eyes were extremely bright as he looked at the sky-shrouding Demonic Hand, feeling his heart pounding wildly. He let out a low roar from his throat, and the fully charged great spear in his hand was hurled upwards towards his head.

A resounding spear cry, accompanied by Dragon roars and Phoenix cries, went against the strong wind pressure, transforming into a brilliant cold star, piercing a blazing crescent arc in the Void Realm!

An Azure Dragon and a Fire Phoenix condensed in the arc, soaring skyward, and the tip of the great spear crackled with brilliant five-colored thunder fire!

Almost simultaneously, an exasperated cry and a Dragon roar and sword cry rang out.

"Damned, the big one came after the small one. Can't they change it up?"

"I should have divined my fortune before leaving home."

Old Man Dong of the Huanlong Clan seemed somewhat exasperated, cursing and grumbling, damn it, just as he was about to finish work, a big one came.

A true Dragon Tiger Devil Head was simply not something they could contend with, unless North Sea Dragon Girl was not injured.

At this moment, his unruly hair stood on end from the excitement. With a loud roar, he quickly transformed into his Heavenly Dragon Martial Dao Great Dragon Body.

At the same time, he clapped his hands together forcefully, his angry eyes wide open, and a cry hissed from the gap in his lips.

The next second,

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

His Great Dragon Body emitted a series of explosive crackling sounds from its joints.

Immediately following, palm-sized Azure Dragon scales flew out from his Great Dragon Body, transforming into streaks of azure light, shooting up into the sky.

At the same time, with a clatter, iron chains spanned the sky, and Evil Qi surged. The dragon binding cord that flew out from his treasured gourd, apart from the one chain that bound the Huodou, the other seven shot upwards through the air, colliding with the Azure Dragon scales.

A miraculous scene appeared. When the Azure Dragon scales shot onto the Kun Long Lock, the azure and red light flared brightly, interweaving with each other. On these chains, which had once been soaked in Dragon blood, bloody Evil Qi actually grew out fleshly sprouts, tightly growing together with the Azure Dragon scales.

In the blink of an eye, a vivid red-eyed Azure Dragon actually condensed into being.

Chains as bone, Dragon blood as flesh, and Azure Dragon scales as skin.

In an instant, with earth-shattering roars, seven red-eyed Azure Dragons with wide, blood-red eyes wound their way upwards, roaring towards the descending giant Demonic claw!

Next, it was North Sea Dragon Girl's Dragon Horn Twin Swords, transforming into that dazzling silver sword light!

As for the three of Tai Sui Mountain, after a brief hesitation and realizing there was no avoiding it, they all roared and unleashed all their might, launching a full-power strike!

The six felt a huge crisis looming. In a short time, they each used their methods without holding back. The brilliant spiritual light stirred by various Divine Ability instantly erupted within the already unstable spatial channel.

Finally,

"Crack!"

Heaven and Earth let out a loud bang, and the channel entrance began to shatter.

And it was at this lightning-fast moment that the sky-shrouding Demonic Hand slammed down fiercely, colliding with the Divine Ability and Dao weapons simultaneously launched by the six.

In an instant, the earth shook, spiritual light exploded, and the spatial channel accelerated its collapse!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With a series of roars, the Divine Ability shattered, and the Dao weapons trembled in sorrow.

The Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear and the Dragon Horn Twin Swords let out piercing wails, and were sent flying backward with a thud.

The black great staff, the bloody mad saber, and the seven red-eyed Azure Dragons formed by the dragon binding cord, shattered into scattered streams of light.

Accompanying this were muffled grunts and sounds of spitting blood.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

The three from Tai Sui Mountain all seemed to have suffered heavy blows, spitting blood from their mouths, their bodies flying backward and falling down.

Old Man Dong's dragon binding cord was directly broken by the Dragon Tiger's mighty power, causing the connected Luck gourd to be shaken off, along with the dragon binding cord that had bound the Huodou Devil Head.

"Can't beat it, retreat."

Old Man Dong's throat rolled. Old injuries combined with new ones, his body tumbled a few times in the air. He cried out, covered in dust, and then the large gourd, which had been shaken back, directly carried him away.

North Sea Dragon Girl, however, seemed to have not suffered severe backlash. Stepping on the Dragon Horn Twin Swords that flew back, she also quickly shot downwards.

At the same time, Chen Yuan's entire body felt as if it had been heavily hammered. A surging force caused his internal organs to tremble greatly, while his Dharma Idol retreated with a roar in the Void Realm.

He could have used this force to shoot downwards, but his eyes caught sight of the Huodou Clan Devil Head who had broken free because the dragon binding cord had been broken!

Half of the chain was still locked around this fiend's neck. His pair of ferocious Demonic eyes watched Chen Yuan and the others being blown away, a bloodthirsty pleasure flashing within them.

"Kill, kill, kill, it would be great to kill all of you!"

At the same time, the Demonic Qi of his two large claws surged, grasping the chain that resembled a dog leash. His face was distorted with ferocity, and he went berserk, wanting to tear off the remaining dragon binding cord.

The bloody runes on this rope possessed powerful and strange power. As the Devil Head exerted force, they continuously roared and flickered, not only trapping this fiend's Physical Body but also preventing his Primordial Spirit from Soul Emergence.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

As this Devil Head bared his fangs and exerted great force, the runes on it exploded with a rustling sound.

Little did he know, Chen Yuan's eyes blazed when he saw this scene. He flicked his sleeve backward, and a powerful rebound force directly stopped his retreating body. With a stomp of his foot, his Dharma Idol rushed upwards in counter-attack.

At the same time, with a "clang," he grabbed the great spear that had been blasted back with one hand, and directly rushed towards the Huodou above.

"Chen boy, what do you want to do?" Old Man Dong's shout came from below when he saw Chen Yuan not retreating but advancing.

Didn't he see that the Demonic Hand hadn't stopped?

The Huodou Clan Devil Head, who was struggling to break free from the dragon binding cord, was startled. Seeing that this killing star did not flee but instead came to kill him, the frustration and anger in his heart burned like the flames on his body. He truly wanted to fight this damned Human Race Zhonglang General.

But thinking of the blood of several Devil Heads on this killing star's hands, this Huodou roared and rushed upwards with the chain.

However, at this moment, Chen Yuan raised his hand and held the spear. The long spear grew larger, not rushing towards the Devil Head, but directly piercing and stirring the chain dangling below, then pulling it down fiercely.

The chain instantly tautened, and the Huodou, who was shooting upwards, suddenly stopped. This fiend was choked by the neck and tilted his head back, letting out a sharp shriek,

"Damn it!"

"Human Race Zhonglang General, you still dare to act so ferociously? Your death is imminent!"

This fiend was exasperated, his Physical Body constantly shifting, his Demonic Qi taking form, frantically impacting the remaining runes of the Kun Long Lock, attempting to break free.

A murderous glint appeared in Chen Yuan's eyes as he watched the enormous demonic hand rapidly descending from the sky. He tugged his spear, which was attached to a chain, with a clang towards the lower-left, and said coldly, "Even if I die, you beast are only fit to be This General's stepping stone."

With a clatter, half of the dragon binding cord was violently pulled back, and the Huodou Clan Devil Head was directly dragged by an immense force, flying backward towards Chen Yuan.

The Devil Head was instantly scared out of his wits, letting out chaotic screams like a pig being slaughtered.

Amidst the shattered divine light and spiritual clouds, the sky-covering demonic hand broke through the clouds and descended without stopping, sweeping with terrifying wind pressure.

Chen Yuan's hair danced wildly, his face wrinkled by the wind. He let out a roar, then turned and grabbed the half of the dragon binding cord, directly flinging the Devil Head above his own head, to face the sky-covering demonic hand.

The Huodou watched the rapidly descending giant palm, his eyes wide with terror, and shrieked, "Senior of the Sacred Mountain, stop! It's..."

Before he could finish his words, the sky-covering demonic hand did not stop. The terrifying wind pressure swept down, and an invisible killing intent struck from a hundred zhang away.

The Huodou's black demonic body appeared as if it had been scraped by countless sharp Phoenix blades. With a series of 'puffs,' its skin and flesh instantly burst open.

The next second, his massive demonic body exploded like a watermelon stepped on, with a 'boom,' and even his Primordial Spirit could not escape.

Then, the giant hand continued without pause, carrying terrifying might, directly striking Chen Yuan below!

Chen Yuan hadn't expected that by grabbing the Huodou, he intended to make the Great Demon hesitate, buying himself and his fellow Daoists one or two breaths of time. However, the opponent showed no regard, directly striking down the Huodou and then him.

At this moment, he felt a life-and-death killing field envelop his entire body. There was no escape. His blood boiled, threatening to burst from his body, and various life-saving methods surged out from within him.

"Dharma Eye Golden Light!"

"Tiangang Five Thunder!"

"Great Sun Thunder Sound!"

"Momentary Bloom!"

"Dragon Qi Mother Tree!"

"Entrustment, open for me!"

In an instant, his entire being transformed into a blazing great sun, illuminating the collapsing bloody passage and lighting up the dark night.

"Boom!"

The monstrous demonic hand slammed heavily onto this 'great sun.' In an instant, golden light flashed wildly, and the sound of cracking bones simultaneously rang out.

One breath later, the 'great sun' suddenly dimmed and fell from the sky.

Chen Yuan coughed up blood, his Dharma Idol was forced back into his body, his silver armor completely shattered, and his Physical Body was like shattered porcelain, covered in dense bloody cracks, as he plummeted.

But his consciousness was very clear.

Dragon Tiger cannot be defeated.

Even with just one hand!

The demonic hand pursued relentlessly, reaching down from the sky. He had bought one breath of time, but it wasn't enough.

"Go to that ship!"

At this moment, the only option was to enter that strange night ferry. Although the ship's origin was unknown and it seemed peculiar, this was the best way. At least he had entered it before and had broken through the Heavenly Gate and emerged alive.

Like a kite with a broken string, he forcefully gathered a breath of Qi from his collapsed chest, opened his third eye which had just closed. A golden light shot down from above, forming a pillar of light that penetrated the white mist below, forcibly opening a passage!

In the white mist, filled with the corpses of demons, an ancient and fragrant grand ship, illuminated by faint candlelight, appeared.

The few streaks of light below also did not hesitate, rushing into the white mist and boarding the ship!

As Old Man Dong entered, he held up his precious gourd with both hands, emitting a surging suction force that pulled and drew Chen Yuan, who was falling, from a distance.

In a flash of lightning, Chen Yuan transformed into a streak of light and was absorbed into the gourd. Old Man Dong quickly swayed and, as the giant palm descended, followed and rushed onto the ship.

"Boom!"

The Great Demon's giant hand directly slapped towards the night ferry!

The white mist violently boiled, making a sound like a tide, and dispersed to both sides.

The night ferry was violently shaken by the large hand, sinking heavily into the mist and rocking violently, yet it strangely did not explode.

Afterward, the faint candlelight grew a few shades brighter!

Just as the Great Demon's hand continued to descend, a faint voice echoed from within the ship, like someone whispering in one's ear.

"Heaven and Earth have no perfect achievements, Saints have no perfect abilities, and all things have no perfect uses."

"Dharma, Dharma, Dharma is without Dharma; emptiness, emptiness, emptiness is also not empty. Stillness, noise, speech, silence are fundamentally the same. How could one speak of dreams within a dream?"

"Smiling and plucking a flower, Buddha speaks of two different worlds. Looking into the mirror, I hold a heart of ice."

"All are wrong, all are wrong. Heaven and Earth are formless; all that is seen are demonic obstacles..."

"Haha..."

Soon, the whispering suddenly grew vast, with chanting, discussions of Dao, and frenzied laughter all rising at once, causing the entire night to tremble and deafening all who heard it.

The white mist boiled and rose, like a tide striking the sky, surging towards the demonic palm, and a terrifying power erupted.

"Kuala!"

A sound of heaven collapsing.

With a terrifying clash of power, the passage entrance finally could not withstand it and completely collapsed, spreading at an astonishing speed.

The entire spatial teleportation passage, formed by the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of spirits and blood Qi, rapidly collapsed!

"Hmph!"

A furious snort came from within the passage, like a sudden clap of thunder on a clear day.

The next second, the green-skinned demonic hand forcibly split open the white mist, and with a grab, it swiftly snatched the entire night ferry like lightning, then pulled it into the continuously collapsing passage, rapidly retracting deeper within.

The night ferry was engulfed in surging white mist as it was pulled by the demonic hand into the spatial passage. Inside the passage, streaks of light flashed, accompanied by surging spatial pulling forces.

At this moment, on the deck of this ship, besides Chen Yuan and the other five, there were unexpectedly other people, some having already taken the initiative.

Upon seeing them, a group of Fang Family members appeared here, having boarded the ship at some unknown time.

It turned out that this Fang Family Old Ancestor, while Chen Yuan and the other five were slaughtering the Ten Fiends Devil Heads, believed that Chen Yuan and his group had secured victory and would then come to investigate this ship. This old fellow, fearing he would miss the Opportunity, secretly boarded the ship in advance during the great battle.

This Fang Family Old Ancestor not only went himself, but also brought other Fang Family members. After all, the more people, the greater the chance of encountering Opportunity. As for whether it was dangerous inside, that was not something he considered.

Who would have thought that the situation would suddenly change?

A Great Demon struck from afar, forcing a group of people into the night ferry, and now even forcibly pulled the ship into the spatial passage!

And the other end of the passage, as one could imagine, was the Ten Thousand Mountains, the lair of the Ten Fiends!

This was truly life-threatening.

Screams erupted all around.

"Old Ancestor!"

"Old Ancestor, what do we do?"

"..."

A group of immature Fang Family members were now swaying, utterly terrified, shouting and screaming.

At this moment, the ship was like sailing on a stormy sea. Above them, a pair of sky-covering giant claws tightly gripped the large ship.

The Fang Family Old Ancestor's wrinkled face showed a grim expression; this situation had exceeded his control.

"Shut up!"

These words were not spoken by him.

But came from one person.

At this moment, Chen Yuan emerged from Old Man Dong's gourd, his silver armor shattered, revealing his incredibly ferocious upper body. Streaks of bloody cracks, like shattered porcelain, seeped with fresh blood, and his chest had an astonishing collapse. At this moment, it was emitting crackling sounds like firecrackers, as if bones and flesh were rapidly reorganizing to smooth out the collapse.

His entire being was filled with a fierce Aura!

Even his hair was stained with blood!

At this moment, Chen Yuan looked coldly at this group of Fang Family members, like a sharp knife, and these fellows immediately fell silent.

Even the Fang Family Old Ancestor's eyelids twitched slightly.

"If you don't want to die, then obey This General's orders."

"This passage is collapsing, and space is unstable. This General will act to find a weak point. At that time, you will all attack together, following This General to strike a single point with all your might."

He said this to the Fang Family members who were courting death; the others naturally needed no further explanation.

He made a mental note of these fellows and wasted no more words. Time was urgent. If they were teleported to the Great Demon, it would be a certain death. Fortunately, this ship was strange and was currently protecting them, buying them a moment to breathe.

He had also experienced life and death. He forcibly suppressed his irritation, took a deep breath, quickly drew a surge of vital Qi from the Dragon Qi Mother Tree, and opened his third eye between his brows. The Dharma Eye Golden Light circulated, rapidly scanning the crimson outside the ship.

One breath, two breaths...

Everyone held their breath, anxious, but dared not interrupt this Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General.

"Act!"

Suddenly, Chen Yuan shouted loudly.

His Dharma Eye wide open, a golden light shot towards a point diagonally ahead.

The large ship was being rapidly pulled away; the Opportunity was fleeting.

At this instant, everyone on the ship's deck simultaneously unleashed dazzling spiritual light towards that spatial point.

"Crack! Crack!"

At this moment, the crimson under the dazzling spiritual light cracked open.

Then, the passage rapidly collapsed, and a violent suction force came from outside the crack with lightning speed.

The green-skinned demonic claw was caught by the suddenly collapsing spatial force, letting out a muffled groan, and the demonic claw loosened its grip.

Then, the entire large ship, carrying Chen Yuan and his party, fell out of the collapsing passage and into the vast night outside. (End of chapter)
