Chapter 1778: Chapter 1645: First Victory
Kou Wenjie’s corpse was snatched back, but it had long lost its vitality, the entire head shattered, tragic and desolate!
The blood is not yet cold, but the heroic soul has already perished!
Another young elite of the Human Race has died an untimely death, even those elder strong people who are accustomed to life and death couldn’t help but feel angry and sorrowful.
Ye Fan wanted nothing more than to immediately enter the battle, to strike and kill the Ironclad Rampaging Bear with his fist, avenging Kou Wenjie.
However—
The Demon Clan did not give him this opportunity. After the battle ended, the Ironclad Rampaging Bear was immediately summoned back by the Demon Clan elder.
The third match was about to begin, every Human cultivator was very tense, not knowing who the Wheel of Destiny would choose this time.
On the contrary, there was an unusual relaxation among the Demon Clan; apart from the previously battled Ironclad Rampaging Bear and Bai Zhanbiao, the remaining eight were eager to attempt.
In their view, the young generation of the Human Race was just too weak, this competition was merely a warm-up before a grand battle.
Along with this, their apprehension towards Ye Fan diminished greatly.
In their eyes, the same Human Race, other young geniuses were no match at all, and Ye Fan wouldn’t be much stronger than them.
With such a relaxed and expectant mood, a ray of light from the Wheel of Destiny fell amongst them!
"It’s me, the Wheel of Destiny selected me, what luck!"
A blue-haired woman laughed lightly and stepped out, graceful and poised, a closed vertical eye at her brow, ascending the Holy War Platform like a Lingbo Fairy.
Blue Feathered Phoenix!
The light of the Wheel of Destiny landed on her, casting a hazy white glow around her.
"What a pity, why was she chosen?"
"Damn it, what bad luck, why wasn’t I chosen?"
The other unchosen young Demon Clan aspirants complained, deeply discontented, each one utterly vexed.
Such an attitude, such words, clearly disregarding the young elite of the Human Race, enraged many young Human cultivators.
At this moment, the choice from Ye Fan’s side emerged, the white light enveloping one among them.
Great Demon!
The most mysterious Young Master of the Western Region Demon Sect, apart from his defeat in the Yuehua Dynasty against Ye Fan, he journeyed from the Western Region to the Central Domain undefeated, even many elder strong people were not his match; no doubt, he made quite a name for himself.
Among the younger generation, besides Ye Fan and his nemesis Yu chanzi, almost no one could defeat him; definitely a standout among the young elite.
"Great Demon, go for it!"
"Brother Great Demon, this time it’s up to you!"
"Great Demon, victory is assured!"
People held high hopes for Great Demon, wishing he could regain a point for the Human Race and defeat the arrogant and overbearing Demon Clan.
"Hey, Demon Clan, blood debt shall be repaid with blood!"
Great Demon sneered, stepping onto the Holy War Platform, his imposing figure inexplicably instilling confidence.
Upon ascending the Holy War Platform, his momentum soared to the peak, resembling an ancient Demon King enveloped entirely in purple demonic qi.
Typically, the demonic qi on Great Demon is gray and black, attaining purple demonic qi indicates that his state has reached the peak.
At this moment, Great Demon was absolutely terrifying, even when battling Ye Fan, this situation hadn’t appeared.
Simultaneously, in the crowd, Buddha Yu chanzi suddenly emitted a faint Buddha light, the Divine Ring behind his head dazzling brightly.
Clearly, this was a miraculous response to Great Demon’s state.
At this moment, Yu chanzi’s appearance was dignified and solemn, his mouth unmoved, body unshaken, yet waves of chanting emanated from him, the sound growing louder, finally resembling eight hundred Arhats singing in unison, echoing through the Nine Heavens.
Hmm?
People looked at him in astonishment, then turned their attention to Great Demon. At this moment, many recalled words once spoken by the Old Emperor of the Yuehua Dynasty.
Great Demon and Yu chanzi are actually two in one, differentiated bodies, Buddha and Demon two poles; when the time is ripe, the Unification of Buddha and Demon will bring about incredible phenomena.
Initially, people were skeptical, as the Western Regions Buddhist Sect and Demon Sect had always been arch-enemies incompatible with each other, how could there be a Buddha and Demon Unification?
However, upon witnessing Great Demon’s momentum reaching the peak and Yu chanzi experiencing a miraculous response, they couldn’t help but believe.
"Little demon, face your death!"
Great Demon shouted furiously, throwing a punch, his purple demonic qi surged, corroding a black hole in the void, demonstrating the immense power of this punch.
Clang!
Blue Feathered Phoenix laughed lightly, her right arm transformed into Feathered Wings, severely slashing at Great Demon’s fist, erupting in a metallic clanging sound.
"How strong!"
People were moved, unexpectedly finding this woman of the Demon Clan formidable, her arm transformed into Feathered Wings like a Heavenly Blade, beyond what ordinary cultivators could withstand.
Even though the Demon Clan was arrogant, they indeed had reasons for arrogance, casually presenting one who was this strong impressed upon many an ominous shadow.
"I didn’t expect you, demoness, to have some tricks, but they’re useless against me, you will surely die!"
The voice of the Great Demon was icy, enveloped in purple Demonic Qi, hiding his true appearance.
"Humph! Arrogant words!"
The Blue Feathered Phoenix let out a cold snort, her arms transformed into Feathered Wings, striking forward, instantly causing the void to collapse, Power of Destruction intertwining.
This was an extremely terrifying attack, ordinary cultivators couldn’t possibly withstand it, Power of Destruction was everywhere, nowhere to evade, only to endure.
The Great Demon let out a decisive shout, the purple Demonic Qi surged like clouds, blocking the Power of Destruction, then continued to spread, quickly engulfing them both within, even with Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, it couldn’t be seen through.
Seeing this, Ye Fan’s heart stirred, knowing the Great Demon was about to unleash his most powerful Divine Soul attack!
The battle of the Divine Soul Sword was the most perilous, yet also the most mysterious and bizarre. When he sparred with the Great Demon initially, he truly expended considerable effort to defeat him. He didn’t believe this demoness from the Demon Clan also possessed such powerful Divine Soul power.
Then again, even if there was powerful Divine Soul power, without the corresponding cultivation technique and methods, a powerful Divine Soul would merely be ornamental.
Ye Fan understood deeply how formidable the Great Demon’s Divine Soul attack was, especially his Divine Soul could divide into two, and possessed weapons specialized for striking Divine Souls, coupled with the Heart Demon Illusion’s attack. As long as one enters his Heavenly Demon Realm, defeat is assured.
At this moment, a few elders from the Western Region Demon Sect had a trace of a smile on their cold faces. They knew well how strong the Great Demon’s Divine Soul was.
The Demon Clan was indeed stronger than Human cultivators in the same realm when it came to the body, but not necessarily in the Divine Soul.
On the Holy War Platform, there was dead silence, as if no great battle was taking place, this peculiar phenomenon made some young strong ones of the Demon Clan frown, not knowing what truly transpired on the battlefield.
"Could it be a battle between Divine Souls?"
An elder from the Demon Clan suddenly exclaimed.
They had some understanding of the Western Region Demon Sect, knowing that cultivators from the Demon Sect didn’t focus on body cultivation, but rather on the Divine Soul, possessing magical Divine Soul martial techniques.
"Fortunately, Lan Xian’er also has a secret technique for Divine Soul attack, otherwise this time it would truly be more ill-fated than fortunate!" A Demon Clan elder spoke with concern.
Divine Soul battles cannot be interfered with, even they cannot rush into the Great Demon’s Heavenly Demon Realm to rescue, only quietly await the battle’s result.
The faces of Human Clan’s immortals began to show a smile. They knew that this battle might bring victory for the Human Race.
On the Holy War Platform, dark clouds rolled, blocking vision. People could only judge the situation inside by sound.
However, the battlefield was now silent, not even the sound of breathing, unusually oppressive!
Many people’s hearts were in their throats, tensely awaiting the result of this battle!
Over on the Demon Clan’s side, they were equally tense, because Divine Soul combat was not something they were skilled at, as the Demon Clan, what they were best at were martial arts and divine skills, especially physical combat.
As time passed bit by bit, the expressions of the crowd from the Demon Clan grew increasingly unpleasant, they were already sensing that something was amiss.
And the Human cultivators’ expressions were also not good, the battle had continued for an hour without a clear outcome, while the Demonic Qi Earth Tiger on the battlefield had faded significantly, only the central portion remained pitch black as ink.
Yu chanzi sat cross-legged on the ground, continually chanting Buddha’s name, exuding sacred Buddha Light, the Buddha Ring behind his head emitted myriad rays like the sun.
"Brother Ye, you’ve fought with the Great Demon, do you think this time he can defeat that demoness?" Li Yu’er came over to ask Ye Fan.
"The Great Demon is adept at Divine Soul combat, mastering the Divine Soul to a level of consummate skill, whereas the Demon Clan doesn’t prioritize Divine Soul cultivation, one rising and the other falling, he should be able to win!" Ye Fan answered softly.
"That’s good, our Human Race cannot bear yet another defeat!"
With Ye Fan’s affirmation, Li Yu’er let out a long breath, seeming to relax entirely.
On the other side, Wen TaDou also inquired Yu chanzi, whose reply was much like Ye Fan’s, both believing the Great Demon could defeat the opponent.
Regarding the Great Demon’s strength, if anyone spoke with authority, it would undoubtedly be Yu chanzi and Ye Fan.
Yu chanzi had sparred with the Great Demon since childhood, knowing his strength most thoroughly.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan had also sparred with the Great Demon, and was very familiar with his attack methods and strength.
With their affirmation, many sighed in relief, silently focusing on the happenings on the Holy War Platform!
"Go to hell for me!"
The icy voice of the Great Demon rang out!
Immediately, a miserable cry came from within the demon cloud, yet the entire battlefield fell into deathly silence, the demon cloud slowly dissipating, merging into the Great Demon’s body.
Without exception, a cold corpse lay on the battlefield, blue long hair losing its luster, devoid of life!
Yet the Great Demon also suffered severe wounds, a bowl-sized transparent hole appeared on his chest, even his heart was taken away, his body was covered in cracks like porcelain struck hard by a hammer, seemingly about to shatter with a gentle flick.
"No..."
"Xian’er..."
The Demon Clan cried out in sorrow, many were startled, finding it hard to accept, the strong Lan Xian’er on their side had actually lost, slaughtered!
"Well killed!"
On the Human side, there was a thunderous cheer.
The dust settled.
This battle, the Human Race won!
