126: Encountering the Demon General

"Human... you, have crossed the line."

A cold, hoarse voice, like countless rusty blades scraping against bone, carrying a pure will of destruction, emanated from beneath the grotesque, masked helmet.

The fifteen-foot-tall Demon God General stood at the edge of a massive bone pit. Its body, covered in dark gold demon armor, flowed with magma-like patterns. Its three pairs of metallic, feather-like demon wings were slightly folded, and its vertical pupils, burning with dark gold flames, were like two sinking demonic suns, mercilessly locking onto Lin Jingyu.

The enormous Nine-Son Soul-Devouring City Breaker Halberd in its hand was slightly tilted, viscous dark red demon blood dripping from its shaft, corroding wisps of green smoke on the ground.

In the eye sockets of the nine spirally arranged pale skulls, the eerie green Soul fire suddenly flared, emitting a low, overlapping demonic sound:

"Woo... Om... Ga...!"

This sound seemed to strike directly at the heart, causing Qi and blood to churn, and the Divine Soul to sway!

An invisible pulling force spread out, as if to forcibly extract one's Soul from their body!

Lin Jingyu's steps did not falter, as if the Soul-Guiding Demonic Sound was merely a gentle breeze across his face.

His burly figure appeared small beneath the Demon God General's massive shadow, but the majestic Aura stemming from his Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body and Minor Achievement in the Rule of Strength stood firm, like a stabilizing divine needle!

"Line?"

Lin Jingyu's voice was calm, yet it clearly penetrated the overlapping demonic sounds, carrying an indifferent, condescending tone. "Where I am, that is my line. As for the sacrifice..."

He raised his right hand, slowly clenching his five fingers. Primordial Violet Qi flowed around his fist, the immortal divine radiance of the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body faintly visible beneath his skin, and the patterns of the Rule of Strength clearly discernible.

"...Your demon core is just right!"

Boom!

As the last word fell, Lin Jingyu's figure suddenly vanished!

Movement Technique! Space beneath his feet was folded like thin paper!

The next instant, he appeared beside the Demon God General's massive head!

His right fist, without any fancy moves, carried the pure power to shatter mountains and pierce stars, fiercely smashing towards the temple covered by the grotesque helmet!

Fast! So fast it surpassed visual capture!

"Hmph!" The Demon God General let out a cold snort filled with anger.

Its seemingly massive body reacted with astonishing speed!

The huge Nine-Son Soul-Devouring Halberd instantly shifted horizontally as if weightless, its demon-patterned shaft precisely blocking before Lin Jingyu's fist!

The nine skulls simultaneously let out sharp wails, and the eerie green Soul fire transformed into a tangible shockwave, attempting to erode Lin Jingyu's Fist Intent and will!

Clang—!!!

Fist and halberd collided!

Like two divine mountains clashing! An indescribably terrifying explosion erupted!

A visible circular shockwave spread out from the point of impact, completely clearing the thin demonic mist around them!

The 'square' paved with countless giant bones on the ground violently undulated and cracked as if struck by an earthquake! Countless pale bone fragments shot out like a torrential downpour!

Crack!

The Demon God General's giant demon bones, harder than refined steel, were actually stomped into two deep pits! Its massive body swayed slightly!

A trace of surprise flashed in the vertical pupils beneath the dark gold helmet! What terrifying strength!

This human, is he really only at the Fourth Heaven of Dharma Aspect Realm?

What shocked him even more was that the Soul shockwave emitted by the nine skulls, upon colliding with Lin Jingyu's fist, was like a mud ox entering the sea, vanishing without a trace!

That will, condensed like divine gold, remained completely unmoved! The fist, empowered by the Rule of Strength, broke through the Soul fire and slammed fiercely onto the halberd shaft!

Buzz!

The Nine-Son Soul-Devouring Halberd let out a painful wail, and the demon blood flowing on its shaft violently churned!

The Demon God General's massive hand gripping the halberd shaft, covered by the dark gold demon armor, groaned under the strain, actually feeling a slight numbness from the shock!

"What a hard fist!" The Demon God General felt a chill in his heart, no longer daring to show any contempt.

This child's Physical Body strength and firm will far surpassed those of his peers!

"Roar!"

The Demon God General roared, its demon wings suddenly spreading!

Violent Devilish Qi erupted like a tsunami! Its arm muscles bulged, and the magma patterns beneath its demon armor suddenly lit up, unleashing terrifying power capable of incinerating mountains and boiling seas!

The Nine-Son Soul-Devouring Halberd was no longer blocking, but transformed into a dark red blood glow that tore through space, carrying the nine wailing skulls, like a Soul-Devouring Demonic Dragon, fiercely coiling towards Lin Jingyu, who was within arm's reach!

Wherever the halberd's tip passed, space was carved with black fissures!

Facing this terrifying strike, capable of strangling even a Fifth Heaven of Dharma Manifestation Realm expert, Lin Jingyu's Battle Intent erupted like a volcano!

Instead of retreating, he stepped forward, crushing a large area of bones beneath his feet. His left fist followed his right, both fists striking out simultaneously!

On his fist, the Primordial Violet Qi condensed as never before, the divine radiance of Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body emanated from his body, and the patterns of the Rule of Strength coiled like living things!

"Heaven-Opening!"

His two fists were like two divine hammers that opened heaven and earth, carrying the supreme will of Chaos's dawn and the destruction of all laws, bravely smashing towards the coiling Soul-Devouring Demonic Dragon!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Fist shadows and halberd shadows clashed wildly within mere inches! Each impact unleashed deafening roars and destructive shockwaves!

Lin Jingyu's figure was like an unmoving rock, standing firm in the violent halberd shadow storm! His two fists were the most powerful weapons, directly confronting the evil halberd's tip!

Primordial Violet Qi violently collided with demonic blood and Soul fire, annihilating each other! The divine radiance of the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body violently fluctuated under the terrifying strangling force of the demonic halberd, emitting harsh friction sounds and sparks, yet it remained unbreached!

The Demon God General grew more and more alarmed as he fought! Each of his attacks was enough to severely injure or even kill opponents below the Fifth Heaven of Dharma Manifestation Realm, but when they struck this human, it was like hitting an indestructible divine iron!

That seemingly thin layer of immortal divine radiance was unimaginably tough!

Even more terrifying were the opponent's pure, ultimate strength and the Fist Intent that destroyed everything. Each collision made his arms numb and his demonic blood churn!

"Impossible! How can a mere Fourth Heaven of Dharma Aspect Realm possess such a powerful Physical Body?!" The Demon God General roared in his heart, his offensive becoming even more violent. His dark gold demon wings flapped, stirring up a destructive Devilish Qi storm, attempting to completely engulf Lin Jingyu!

Lin Jingyu's fists danced like wheels, blocking all of the torrential halberd strikes!

He felt waves of soreness in his arms, his Qi and blood churning violently within him. The Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body was enduring immense pressure, and the Primordial Creation Scripture furiously circulated to neutralize the invading Devilish Qi!

But the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter! This extreme pressure was an excellent opportunity to temper his Physical Body and hone his rules!

"Not enough! Not strong enough yet!"

Lin Jingyu roared amidst the fierce confrontation. The Rule of Strength furiously circulated under the immense pressure, showing faint signs of a Breakthrough!

He felt that the Archaic God-Demon Visualization Chart, this core Cultivation Technique for visualizing Dharma Aspects and condensing will, seemed to have touched some kind of ultimate barrier under such high-intensity will confrontation and Devilish Qi erosion!

Just one catalyst... The Demon God General, unable to gain the upper hand after a prolonged assault, was shocked and enraged! He suddenly retreated, creating distance, and heavily slammed the enormous Nine-Son Soul-Devouring Halberd onto the ground!

"Human! You have angered this general!" His voice from beneath the helmet was filled with fury. "Witness the true power of the Demonic Domain!"

Rumble!

The Demon God General's surrounding Devilish Qi completely erupted like a volcano! Dark golden demonic flames shot into the sky, instantly spreading out!

A dark Domain, viscous as ink, covering several hundred zhang in radius, suddenly formed! Within the Domain, Devilish Qi was dense, and gravity increased a hundredfold!

Countless twisted demonic shadows wailed and tore in the darkness, and nine massive skull-like demonic shadows, condensed from pure Soul fire, appeared above the Domain, opening their huge mouths and emitting silent Soul shrieks!

The terrifying Soul tearing force combined with a hundredfold gravity was enough to instantly crush any living being below the Fifth Heaven of Dharma Manifestation Realm into a pulp and tear their Soul apart!

This was the Demon God General's nascent Domain — the Nine Nether Soul Domain!

The moment the Domain descended, Lin Jingyu felt his body suddenly sink, as if burdened by a mountain! Moreover, sharp Soul shrieks, like countless steel needles, frantically pierced into his Sea of Consciousness!

"Domain?"

Lin Jingyu's body bent slightly under the hundredfold gravity, his bones creaking, but the divine radiance of the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body stubbornly lit up, forcefully resisting this terrifying pressure!

In his Sea of Consciousness, the will of the Rule of Strength was like an indestructible divine mountain, firmly blocking the invisible Soul shrieks!

Slowly raising his head, he looked at the nine massive Soul fire demonic shadows above the Domain. Not only was there no fear in his eyes, but an even more intense flame burned!

"This bit of gravity, this bit of noise..."

Lin Jingyu's voice was somewhat low under the Demonic Domain's pressure, yet it carried a chilling excitement. "...You think you can crush me?!"

He suddenly straightened his back! The Primordial Violet Qi around him erupted, shining brightly with the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible divine radiance!

The Rule of Strength roared wildly within his body, forcefully carving out his own 'strength' space within the hundredfold gravity Domain field!

The yin prison token at his waist, under the suppression of the Demonic Domain, not only did its gray glow not extinguish, but it erupted with an even more dazzling light, like an enraged Vicious Beast!

Those blood-colored patterns twisted wildly like living things, and an Aura of annihilation and death, even more ancient and pure than the Demon God General's Demonic Domain, emanated from the token's core, carrying a greedy desire to devour the very Origin of this Demonic Domain!

The Demon God General felt the strange Aura emanating from the yin prison token, and his dark gold vertical pupils suddenly constricted: "What is that thing?!"

"The thing that will kill you!" Lin Jingyu roared, his feet suddenly crushing the demon bones beneath him. Enduring the hundredfold gravity, he charged fiercely towards the Demon God General at the core of the Domain, like an Archaic Vicious Beast breaking free from its shackles!

Every step he took left deep, spiderweb-like cracked pits on the hard, bony ground!

The phantom of the Primordial Heaven Opening Manifestation faintly appeared behind him, exuding the mighty power of opening heaven and earth!

"Arrogant! Enter my Demonic Domain and turn into pus and blood!" The Demon God General suppressed the shock and doubt in his heart, roaring as he swung the Nine-Son Soul-Devouring Halberd!

Above the Domain, the nine massive Soul fire demonic shadows simultaneously opened their huge mouths. Nine extremely condensed eerie green Soul fire light pillars, like a divine punishment of annihilation, tore through the darkness and slammed down towards the charging Lin Jingyu!

Wherever the light pillars passed, space froze and cracked inch by inch!

The terrifying double blow of Soul and energy instantly engulfed Lin Jingyu's figure!
