351: Chapter 351 Farewell to the Inner Demon 9527

Under the guidance of Heart Demon Little Six, Su Mo traveled across the desolate lands of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the scenery ahead changed abruptly. A vast area shrouded in pale gray illusory mist came into view; that was the Thousand Illusions Secluded Valley, the ancestral land of the Heart Demon Clan.

Its scale was so vast it could rival a medium-sized Immortal Dynasty.

However, at this moment, the area outside the Thousand Illusions Secluded Valley was far from peaceful and serene.

Even from a thousand miles away, one could feel the violent energy fluctuations coming from ahead. Space trembled and Devilish Qi surged wildly. That was definitely not a commotion that could be caused by the Golden Immortal level; it was clearly the aftershocks of a clash between Taiyi Golden Immortals!

Moving further forward, a tragic battlefield scene suddenly unfolded.

On the plains, an army with fierce and violent Devilish Qi, its soldiers' bodies burning with dark red flames, was surrounding a group of humanoid demons whose forms resembled the Human Race.

Those humanoid demons were the Heart Demon Clan, who had transformed into human appearances to better conduct their business.

At this moment, the Heart Demon clansmen had suffered heavy casualties, and their defensive line was crumbling.

High in the sky at the very center of the battlefield, two figures were clashing fiercely, each collision causing the heavens and earth to change color.

One side stood over ten feet tall, with curved dark red demonic horns on his head and skin like cooled lava, wielding a giant axe burning with demonic flames.

It was the Clan Chief of the Yanyu Demon Clan—Blazing Tyrant, a Great Demon Lord with a fierce and violent aura!

The figure fighting against him, however, made Su Mo's eyes flicker slightly.

It was no longer the pitch-black shadow with only a human outline from years ago, but a vivid and beautiful woman, as if she had walked out of a Human Race ink painting.

She wore a soft, creamy yellow long dress. The hem of the skirt fluttered slightly with her intense movements and the flow of energy, outlining breathtaking curves.

Her exposed skin was as lustrous as jade, appearing to have its own soft glow under the dark red sky.

Her face could be described as stunningly beautiful; her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like autumn ripples, and beneath her shapely nose, her lips were as red as cherries. Even though they were slightly pale and tightly pursed due to the fierce battle, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.

It was Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven!

She had actually managed to refine and shape herself to such a lifelike degree, no different from a real Human Race young girl, and even added a touch of the unique and exotic charm of the demons!

At this moment, she was surrounded by ever-changing, dreamlike Heart Demon illusory power, sometimes dancing like light gauze to confuse the enemy, and sometimes condensing into a tough barrier to resist with all her might.

However, Blazing Tyrant's offensive was too overbearing. Each strike of the giant axe burning with raging dark red demonic flames tore through her exquisite illusions layer by layer, forcing her into a life-threatening situation.

"Jiejiejie! Mere Heart Demons, things that linger on by devouring the stray thoughts of living beings, you think you're worthy of contending with my Yanyu Demon Clan? You truly don't know the heights of the heavens!" Blazing Tyrant laughed wildly, his giant axe sweeping across and bringing with it a wave of sky-burning demonic flames. "Today, I shall make your kind extinct!"

Boom!

The seven-colored barrier manifested by Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven was shattered by a single axe strike. The residual demonic flames slammed heavily into her protective Heart Demon Origin, sending her flying backward like a kite with a broken string, scattering flecks of black Devilish Qi light in the air.

She barely managed to stabilize her form, her chest heaving violently as she coughed up another mouthful of Devilish Qi. All color had drained from her exquisite face, leaving only an unyielding fire burning in her autumn-water eyes.

"The Heart Demon Clan... even if we fight to the last demon... will never surrender!" Her voice carried a hint of a tremble, yet it was exceptionally firm.

"Stubborn and foolish! Then die!" A fierce light flashed in Blazing Tyrant's eyes as he raised his giant axe high, about to launch a killing blow.

At this critical juncture—

A calm and gentle voice, seemingly carrying a strange soothing power, clearly penetrated the clamor of the battlefield and reached Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven's ears:

"Xiao Qi, you've worked hard. Leave the rest to me."

This voice... Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven's delicate body jolted violently. She whipped her head around, looking toward the source of the sound.

When she saw the familiar figure floating not far away with a composed expression, her autumn-water eyes instantly widened. An unbelievable ecstasy flooded over her like a tide, washing away all pain and despair.

"Su Mo?! Is it really you?! You've come?!" Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, filled with unbelievable surprise.

The surprise lasted for only an instant.

She sensed the cultivation fluctuations emanating from Su Mo's body—the Peak of the Demon Lord realm!

Although this speed of progress was already Heaven-Defying, his opponent was a genuine Great Demon Lord!

And Blazing Tyrant was no weakling even among Great Demon Lords!

"Su Mo! Run! This place is dangerous! Blazing Tyrant is a Great Demon Lord, leave here quickly!" Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven cried out urgently.

But Su Mo gave her a reassuring, calm smile. Instead of retreating, he stepped onto the projection of the Cangxu Realm, which radiated the aura of Chaos, and leisurely moved forward, drawing closer to the core of the battlefield.

This movement naturally attracted Blazing Tyrant's attention.

He temporarily held back his descending axe, his fierce eyes burning with dark red flames looking Su Mo up and down with interest, as if looking at a moth that had voluntarily jumped into a fire.

Immediately, his face showed undisguised contempt and mockery.

"A human?" Blazing Tyrant's voice sounded like two red-hot rocks rubbing together, rumbling with the scorching breath of lava. "Heh, instead of staying properly in the Yuanguang Realm, you actually came to my Heavenly Demon Realm to meddle in others' business? And with only the cultivation of the Peak of the Demon Lord realm?"

He pointed his giant axe at Su Mo from a distance, his arrogance and cruelty plain to see:

"Kid, regardless of your relationship with these Heart Demon wastes, since you've delivered yourself to death, I shall fulfill your wish! It just so happens I'm lacking a high-quality Human Race Cultivator's Divine Soul to use as fuel for my demonic flames! Seeing as your cultivation is decent, your Divine Soul should be quite potent!"

As his words fell, Blazing Tyrant didn't even deign to use his giant axe; he simply opened his mouth and exhaled toward Su Mo's direction!

Hu—!

A concentrated torrent of dark red demonic flames instantly crossed hundreds of feet, sweeping toward Su Mo to swallow him up!

This seemingly casual strike possessed power that far exceeded the full-force eruption of an ordinary Peak Demon Lord, demonstrating the absolute control a Great Demon Lord had over power, making the heavy seem light.

"Su Mo, be careful!!!"

Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven's face paled as she cried out in alarm. She wanted to go to his aid, but she was pinned down by Blazing Tyrant's even more piercing aura, unable to even save herself. She could only watch helplessly as those destructive demonic flames swallowed Su Mo's figure.

Watching the demonic flames strike, Su Mo didn't even knit his brows.

He didn't even make any move to defend or dodge. He just stood there quietly, watching the roaring fire dragon approach, his eyes calm and rippleless, as if watching a fireworks display that had nothing to do with him.

Just as the torrent of demonic flames was about to touch his body—

Su Mo lightly and casually raised his right hand.
